worst week overload

i finally feel both exhausted and defeated and yet like a vicious attack animal at the same time. i spent all wednesday and thursday morning (and thursday lunchtime) trying to get estimates for poor little p.t. yes, its all cosmetic surgery he's going to need, nothing serious, but it involves anywhere from $800-1200 worth of work. who knew union labor was so expensive. *um, joke.

anyway originally i was dealing with the owner of the car, but now im back to dealing with the driver, who does not want to pay out of pocket... hence, after delaying this several days, we're now taking it to the insurance companies. you know what i say to that? BRING IT. ill put on my boxing wraps and gloves and attack. ill even bring my car in for another estimate dressed that way.

on the brighter side, my insurance agent was the best thing that happened to me between the hours of 9-10am today (with my greek yogurt for breakfast coming in at a close second). but oh, the things i could say about gene and raphael and first commercial insurance, well, that might create a book.

either way, ill try to breathe and remember that its friday, and hopefully this madness will end soon. as my mom would say, release the chi. or something like that. its just stressy because i have such limited time left here in miami and i need to get everything resolved before then...

on the even brighter side? my past evenings have been lovely- wednesday rachel & i had our ritual dance-movie night, including amazing salads, popcorn, malbec, and dirty dancing. i feel in love with patrick swayze all over again. then, yesterday we did it all over - went to see julie & julia with our bags full of salad. never before in my life have i brought a salad into a movie, but you know, i guess its just very oddly southbeach. (i think if i did it in ny, id kind of hate myself).

now, off to blast some kings of leon on my ipod and research child p*rn. could this day truly get any better?

ha. (dont answer that one. i know it will).
