Lady of Leisure

I am off work today and therefore a Lady of Leisure. Actually, the way my job has been going lately the main difference between going to work and not going to work is that I don’t have to do my hair. I was going to say that the difference is that I don’t have to change out of my pajamas, but I probably could wear my pajamas to work except that I don’t have any shoes to go with them.

I was going to do a bunch of little chores around the house today, but since it is also payday I think I will go shopping instead since I can sneak stuff into the house before Chris gets home.

I forgot to mention yesterday that when they gave me the “We are on Crack and Therefore Love You and Want to Have Your Babies” award, they actually pronounced my last name correctly. My last name is not hard to figure out, but people have a really hard time. The most common thing I get is the phantom “ng” combo thrown in in the middle. Say, for example, that my last name was Bupkis.* What people like to do is call me Beth Bupingkis. Hello? People? Where do you see an “n?” I don’t see an “n”. And I guarantee there is not a “g” anywhere in my entire very long name.

* This is not my real name, but I really like it and am considering having my name legally changed.
