Always Anna

Freaking out at work?  Feeling like you are working with a bunch of inconsiderate fools?  Need to calm down before you start breaking things? 

No worries, I’ve figured out the three steps to reclaiming your sanity:

1. Take a walk around the office.  Or the block.  Whatever.  Just get up from your desk.
2. When you get back to your desk, go to Go Fug Yourself and revel in the hilarity.  And the reminder that there are some people more crazy than you.
3. Then go to Cute Overload and look at all the puppy pictures.  All that oohing and ahhing really lightens up your mood.

Now, breathe deeply as you get back to work.

Last night, I was standing at a stop light, waiting to cross the street.  Just standing there, thinking about how I was almost home.  And then I fell. 

I didn’t trip.  No one bumped into me.  I didn’t faint.  There wasn’t even a particularly strong wind.  I just tipped forward and fell on my hands and knees.

Anna means “grace” in Hebrew.  Clearly, my parents had no idea how I’d turn out.

Freaking out.  Freaking out.  Freaking out. 

Okay, it’s not quite that heart-attack-inducing, but I am totally excited and smiley about the fact that New Kids on the Block are reuniting!  And being on the Today Show on Friday!  AHHHHHHHH!

I’m still not over the fact that my mom wouldn’t let me go see NKOTB when I loved and stalked them in grade school - my Tiger Beat and BOP-postered walls, NKOTB scrapbooks, numerous concert and cartoon series videos, comic books, buttons, pillow cases, and sleeping bags were no replacement for seeing them live.  

But if they’re reuniting, surely they’ll be having some kind of concert in Boston, their hometown, right? 

AHHHHHHHHHH!

Thanks to my friend Karen for letting me know!!!!
