Betrayal, Most Foul

i'll just come out and say it:

I HAVE NO JAYANNA!

and while we're at it, I HAVE NO BROTHER, EITHER!

why? why, you ask?! those jerkwads went to see louis c.k. even though they know about my longstanding feud with him:

and because of their insolence, the entire tristate area will now suffer a crippling blizzard. such is my wrath!

Agua Teen Thirsty Force

this is so sad, i can hardly talk about it, but here it goes....

my favorite water bottle is lost forever:

i now have to use my other water bottle:

the one i hurt my lip on:

and end up dumping water in my face from:

that's if i can even get it open:

and i couldn't POSSIBLY get a replacement water bottle! that was the only one!

i'm sad now.

Such Great Heights

let's just cut right to it. i got stuck in an elevator:

with the baby:

when we got out, instead of being on the fifth floor--as i intended--we were on the first floor, and i had to walk up several flights of stairs so as not to get stuck in the elevator again:

everything is the worst.

CKNY

today is the anniversary of sandy:

it is also the anniversary of the day c.b. and i were supposed to go see louis c.k. live:

it was bad luck that we didn't get to go to the show (although super good luck that sandy didn't really affect us otherwise), but i DID remember a year later that we were supposed to get to see him next time he was in town, and this happened:
















followed by this:

and finally this:

no response! despite my enthusiastic use of the exclamation point! i guess the bad luck continues: since i no longer get to do anything past 6:00 pm, even if a new show came to town, i'd probably miss it. bummer.

Fading Away

so, i'd heard that after having a baby, the extra lush hair that didn't fall out during pregnancy would start vacating my scalp:

but, who cares? i've got such thick hair--thought i--that a few thousand won't make a difference:

I WAS WRONG. the horrible luck here is that my hair didn't fall out in convenient areas where no one would notice. NOPE:

i am now the proud owner of a receding hairline. and if that weren't enough, cabana baby has started ripping out fistfuls from underneath:

pretty soon i will be bald. which wouldn't be so bad except that winter is coming, and it's chilly! i should've listened when +virginia  warned me not to have children....

Property of Erin Elan

you guys, something wonderful has happened:

that's correct, property brothers is on netflix!

but this isn't all good luck, since i JUST finished my maternity leave and had to go back to work. i can't sit around watching it all day every day like i want:

but, since there are only three seasons, i suppose in the end, even that is kind of lucky.

welcome to the family, jonathan and drew!

Box of Furies

super annoying luck, everyone: someone has been using my pandora account. big deal, right? SHUT UP, IT'S A SUPER BIG DEAL because whoever it is likes:

(and presumably don't likes) music selections. i know what you're thinking. you're thinking, erin, your brain doesn't work, are you sure it's not you? well, skeptic reader, said person is even adding whole new stations:

and you can tell it's not me because of the mispellings. it's driving me crazy!

so if it's you, 'fess up and get your own account. it's free for crying out loud.
