my nerdy awkward self

I met Mary Lynn Rajskub!, a photo by Digital Heather on Flickr.

Disregard this total mullet I have going on. I'm trying to grow out my short hair, but more importantly, I met Mary Lynn Rajskub at NY Comic Con this past weekend!

I had no idea she was going to be there and my mother-in-law and I were just talking about how we loved her on 24. I was so starstruck because sure I have lots of favorite actors and actresses but she's different. I had a moment to tell her that watching her work in the last 10+ years really empowered me to love my nerdy awkward self and she said she loves when women tell her that. She was a sweetheart.

Aside from that vacation was great. We spent a few days in upstate NY for our friends' wedding, then headed back to Long Island to visit with family before comic con. It was great. The weather was chilly and the leaves were starting to turn. NYCC, although over-crowded and poorly organized, was fun. Meeting my Chloe was worth it and everything else was just gravy.

It's days like today I wish I had a maid or clone or Rosie from the Jetsons. Although my husband and I cleaned the house before we left, we were gone almost 2 weeks and we've got a ton of laundry. I'll spend today doing that, catching up on my writing (oh my, month is halfway over), and vacuuming up random dead crickets I keep finding and then WORK. My MRI is tomorrow and I'm just trying to get all of my ducks in a row before surgery.
