I Despise Betty Draper


I finally…FINALLY have begun watching Mad Men – a show I am now obsessed with. I had it on my DVR for years, allowing the episodes to accumulate, but when I had to switch DVRs I had to let those recordings go.  Thankfully, Netflix carries the show, and I can watch the first 4 seasons while season 5 gets recorded on the new DVR.

This show is amazing.

It has also taught me a few things… like the fact that I was born in the correct era which I will save for another post.

Anyway, I just wanted to share that Betty Draper is one of the most annoying people on TV.  She makes me want to punch the screen every time I see her on it.  She is so vain and shallow and annoying!!!  Even down to how she holds her cigarette irks the shit out of me. When she learns the truth about Don/Dick, her reaction was so cold…. and yeah I know he is a philandering pig but she isn’t much better.  Ugh.

Now I have to get back to catching up on season 3 because I know a divorce between these two are in the works.  I hope she ends up a sad and lonely crow who gets knocked off her childish pedestal…. living in Alaska with no screen time.

 

Birds

I had such a fun day today!!!

I am not a fan of birds whatsoever but I decided to suck it up and go to Parakeet Point at the NOLA aquarium. The birds are free roaming and land on your head, arm, back, ass…. you name it. I was beyond freaked out!!

 

Busting Reds


Lately, I have been pretty much stuck at my desk doing desk things and living a desk filled life.  I thought me and this desk would be together forever, I thought this desk was the one. But I was wrong. It seems that the more time that the desk and I  spend together, the more I realize we have nothing in common.

The desk apparently is stingy, doesn’t have a lot of  storage space, whereas I need more storage space. The desk also is really tall, and wants me to put items high up but I am short as hell and would need a step stool to reach up there.  The desk is really crowded and likes to be in my face, I like wide open spaces where I have room to work. The desk likes to be junky, I like things to be neat. This desk has no boundaries and things are constantly falling off of it – since as I said – there is no storage space. Therapy has taught me that boundaries are a good thing and I need to start enforcing them.

So, as I was sitting here editing some pictures of pomegranates1 – which is really all the desk and I do together these days – I realized with quite a heavy heart that it’s time for me to move on.  I am not sure how to break this to the desk…. I don’t want for a replacement to just show up one day and the desk to end up on the curb or something.  I was thinking maybe I could maybe start bringing in sections of the new one and let the desk figure out on its own what is  going down. Harsh I know, but I have never been good at break ups.

 

  1. I absolutely love love love pomegranates. You were undoubtedly wondering wtf the picture was about I am sure so now you know []

Butter.Fly.


I just recently came back from yet another vacation. This time to the south Caribbean. Of course, being gone for 10+ days means that I have even more work waiting for me when I get back. But it’s all good. I am finally in a semi-good place and I don’t feel depression weighing me down as it once did.  I still have those bad days but over all, life is good.  I am just going to keep taking it one day at a time.
