The Return of Saturn and Marvin G.

Today is the 11-year anniversary of dating Marvin Gardens the second time. We dated in college. Then we broke up. For 10 years. Then 11 years ago today, we saw each other again and we got back together and got married and he dragged me to a teeny tiny town in North Carolina. The end.

I am coming off a three-day migraine, and have not gotten dressed today, much less done anything nice to celebrate our 11-year anniversary of dating the second time, but Marvin got me a card at WalMart and put $5 in it. He wrote, "Go crazy." So wooo! I get to blow five bucks!

Cards are verboten, by the way. Marvin totally broke the rules. But it's only once in a lifetime that you get to celebrate dating the second time.

My beloved blog pal at Fully Operational Battle Station sent me a you-know-we-don't-know-what-the-word-meme-means meme. Somebody recently gave the definition of "meme" in their blog recently, but I have blocked it out already. Anyway, here we go.

Jobs I’ve Had:
1. Making boxes in an old morgue.
The boxes had nothing to do with the morgue, they were boxes that someone was eventually going to put presentation materials in. I think they just rented the morgue because it was there.

2. Bartender at a health food restaurant.
Which always seemed incongruous.

3. Editor of those horoscopes in a tube.
You know those little horoscopes? In the clear plastic tube? They're like a buck and you can buy them at the checkout stand at 7-Eleven or the drug store? Yeah. Edited those.

They did my astrological chart before they hired me. When I quit, they said the reason things were crappy at the office was because the office was in its Saturn return. I said, "Saturn may be returning, but I'm not."

4. Public relations person at a woman's clinic.
No, seriously. I had to PROMOTE gynecological procedures. "Our pregnancy tests are better than theirs!" I mean, what are you supposed to say?

Places I’ve Lived:
1. Saginaw, Michigan
2. Seattle, Washington
3. London, England (Okay, for a summer. But still.)
4. Los Angeles, California

Food I Love:
1. Chocolate-covered strawberries
2. Flautas with guacamole
3. Thai chicken with spinach and peanut sauce from Thai Siam in Seattle
4. Turkey, dressing and mashed potatoes. Oh, with corn.

Websites I Visit:
1. tmz.com (because I'm deep)
2. joshreads.com (he is the funniest man ever)
3. craigslist (I like to apartment hunt in other countries. Try it!)
4. Sephora.com (I can still dream of spending.)

Places I’d Rather Be:
1. Hanging with Laura Ingalls Wilder in 1890
2. Watching wild gorillas in Africa
3. Go-go dancing at the Whiskey in 1966
4. Dancing in my flapper getup at some illegal gin joint in 1920

People I Tag:
Oh, listen. If you want to do it, do it. I don't want to force anyone. Like Tee or Our Lady of Perfection. No, sir. Not you guys. Not Kellie. Nope! That'd be wrong. And I would never pick on jtcosby. Absolutely not.
