What a lazy day! The Boyfriend is out doing super-secret Valentine’s Day errands (!!), leaving me to man the fort. I’ve got my Saturday pants on (you all know you’ve got some) and I’m gulping water like it’s my job. I had many a celebratory beer last night and now I’ve got a thirst like I’ve been living in the desert. Worth it, though. Just got the news that one of my nearest and dearest friends is moving back to Albany and I could NOT be more excited! It’s big news for her: new job, new living situation. I’m realizing that even though my life’s gotten me down a bit these past few months, I have some awesome people to have a beer with on a Friday night, and that’s worth more than any ol’ job.
Other than my slight hangover excitement over my friend’s news, it’s a pretty low-key day. Today is turning out to be one of those to-do list Saturdays. Nothing horrible, just some laundry and dirty dishes (I’m not sure we actually do dishes during the week in this apartment. We seem to save them for the weekend). And a trip to the dog park with my two favorite puppy twins!
We’re taking care of my cousin’s dog, Lola, who is a fatter version of Jack and a big ball of lovin’. It’s so much fun having two dogs!
I should get to my list. But before I do any of that, I need a playlist. Don’t you always need some good music to motivate you? I came across the new version of “We Are the World” and, since I’m a total sucker for super emotional musical collaborations, I watched all 8 minutes of it. Twice.
My impressions:
- I want to do karaoke with Pink. How fun would she be at a bar?
- The lead singer of The Fray is super bald and super cute.
- Jennifer Hudson has some nice pipes.
- It’s Enrique Iglesias, everybody!
- Is that Jeff Bridges?
- I secretly like Sugarland. Shh.
- Lil Wayne “sings.” It’s weird.
- Wyclef Jean is awesome.
I’m not totally missing the point of this remake, by the way: you can still donate to Haiti relief by texting “WORLD” to 50555.
Off to be productive!
