for most people, waking up hung-over and having to go to work early in the morning is a nightmare. for me, it's different. i'm not saying i like dragging my groggy, dehydrated self out of bed after a heavy night of partying, but for some reason - i generally have really good days when i am fighting the symptoms of an over-indulgence in alcohol the night before.
take for example today...
i had to be at work at 8:30 and didn't roll out of bed until almost 8:00. doesn't leave much time for primping - but somehow i managed to pull it off. i get to work and charge my lingerie selling battery with some coffee and i'm off. i start the day selling here and there to the low volume of shoppers entering the store. helped a nice guy buy $400 worth of lingerie and sleepwear for his lady and managed to convince him to buy 4 of our super-cute red heart boxes to put it all in. an extra $50 to his sale right there. he even had the store's credit card already. ideal man? YES. then a little later, one customer starts asking for my help finding 30 pairs of identical panties. 30! as soon as she said that, i KNEW it was going to be a good one. i frantically hunted around the store to keep her happy and shopping away. about a half hour later - she left with ... get this...$1,272 worth of bras, panties, sleepwear, heart boxes, mints, you-name-it-i-sold-it in her hands. oh yeah - i rule.
kinda makes you wonder where all the money comes from on these kind of sales though. i mean, if you can walk into a store and spend that much on lingerie, imagine what else she must go out and splurge on. i wouldn't mind a day in her shoes - that's for sure.
continuing my day - i am now home and decided to check out my horoscope (MSN horoscopes are frighteningly accurate most days). i am not one to live by something that is made up for the general population born within a certain time period (i'm a leo), but i do like to read them and compare them to what has happened in the day. i guess it is a little hobby of mine.
so the stars are telling me this today:
"A financial situation is resolved when you get a few things in order. What starts off as a chaotic and panicked day could lead to a confident and relaxed evening. Word from a paramour will inspire and excite you tonight." (you can check out yours here: http://astrology.keen.com/horoscopes/dailyscope.asp)
let's see then...
financial situation getting better... check
chaotic morning... check
confident and relaxing evening? ... hopefully (am planning on having a few friends over to watch a movie)
a paramour?... interesting. not sure that will happen - but exciting to think that fate might have some sort of plan for me somewhere out there.
by the way - went out with that crazy Celeste again last night. next post should be from her indulging you with her wit as she tells another tale of two singles in the city.

As another weekend AND snow storm nears, it feels only appropriate to give special credit to Emma aka Ms. Jen Durkin, the only girl I know that can turn a late afternoon shopping excurision into a full-out night of boozin, dancin, and plenty of other mischief. Take last Friday night, for instance. The "just one more drink and then we'll call it a night" routine lasted for close to five hours, just enough time to be harassed by 60 year-old sugar daddies offering us dinner and canolis in the North End and to meet a young bachlorette claiming to be the real "anal princess" herself. I also thoroughly enjoyed dancing to the tunes of "We are Family....", a song which was released close to a decade before I was even born, in the lobby of the Copley Marriot, playing eye games with the valet at Sonsi (forgive me, not quite sure how it's spelled), giving wrong directions to my new Albanian friend who somehow wound up in Saugus rather than Back Bay, and, for the first time ever, not out-boobing every other female in the room. I'm not sure it's so safe for us two single Leos to be let loose on the city of Boston anytime soon but it's bound to happen. So watch out and stay clear, Emma and Celeste will soon be at a bar, party, club, or shoe store near you!! That is when she's not selling granny panties or reading her horoscope! Just kidding, love you Emma!
