I want to go home for the next 3 months!!! Why? Because it's approaching one of my favorite times of year: STORM SEASON!!! Which .... I will be missing. Again. So sad. May is usually the prime month, but April and June are great too. And I'm not just talking about tornadoes, I mean thunderstorms too! I could really go for a great thunderstorm right about now.
Having your apartment right next to CBS studios has it's downfalls ... for instance ... the noise. My bedroom window is literally hanging right over the CBS lot and well ... quite frankly it's ANNOYING because a vast majority of the time, I wake up to the sound of table saws, hammering, and people building sets. In addition, they're currently remodeling my whole building so I ALSO get to wake up to HAMMERING right below me. It's like my own personal headache they gift wrap every morning just for me! Grrrrrr.
Kung Fu class was great last night. I knew it would be a great class when we started it off with iron wire, and the weather was perfect!
Chris invited me out to dinner with his family because his brother David is in town for spring break ... BUT of course I have to work. More grrrrrr. And I'm 110% positive that I'll be working all of Easter weekend too because EVERYONE requested off and they aren't even accepting requests anymore ... lol. :::sigh::: maybe some day I won't have to work every weekend ALL weekend.
Well I need to go running before work ... wooooosh!

Don't ask ... it's a long story ... LOL ... I know ... many of you are probably very disturbed by this! But don't worry, that's perfectly normal.

Extremely terrifying Clip
Hmmm ... it's really pretty outside. I think I'm going to go get a slushie ... yummmmmm! :D
WELL today I'm finally feeling pretty much back to normal ... I'm still a little weak but not too weak to get a work-out in later! Although as I was driving to work I realized ... I've had a job since I was 16, (that's almost EIGHT years,) and yesterday was the SECOND time I've ever called in sick. I think just two times in eight years is a pretty good track record! :P
I don't understand. Why do people date another person when they know it's not going to work out? I mean, it's not like you have to KNOW that you're going to marry some one in order to date them, but there needs to be at least a shred of hope some where that things might work out in order to make it worth while! My roommate is currently "seeing some one" who, as she told me last night, "is totally incompatible with me! I definetly don't see us getting married." To which I think, then why bother? Besides the fact that some people are just too horny or feel too inadequate if they don't have a boyfriend every waking second. Sheesh.
Gas is now $3.25 and this makes me VERY sad.
You have no idea how much the martians from Sesame Street terrified me as a child.
Yuck! Sunday night after I went to bed I suddenly got sick and woke up with a gross fever. My temp. yesterday rose to 104.3 which was quite uncomfortable. I got up around 11:40am, ate some outmeal, layed down on the couch from 12:30 - 9:15pm, and then transferred myself back to my bed. It was the most unproductive day ever! lol
Thankfully today I feel a little better. Last time I checked my temp. it had lowered to 101 soooo that's a good sign. On the down side, I'm really weak, I still have a head ache,and my throat hurts slightly. I'm really hoping I didn't catch strep throat, which my roommate had the other week. Gahhhh. I'll have to wait a day or two and see.
Yay! I'm so happy! I just looked at my online banking transaction history and I see that my tax refund was directly deposited into my account today! :D I'm actually a bit relieved because I wasn't sure if I filed my tax return correctly with all of my "mutual funds" and retirement account. PLUS I made sure to "maximise" my return as much as possible ... heeheeheeee :P
Unfortunetly, I won't be doing anything exciting with the money. In 500 more miles my car will have reached the 120k mark and I will be "due" for my 120k service check. Which isn't mandatory of course, but it's part of the routine maintenance for the car which is highly recommended, especially when your car has alot of mileage. Arrggg and it's $499 plus tax! :( I swear, I'm going to buy a bycicle and bike to all my destinations from now on! (Which ... isn't a bad idea!)
On another note, one of my favorite things to do on my day off from work, (or even when I'm not having a day off,) is to walk to Barnes'N'Noble and look at the books and magazines. Lately, my "area of interest" has been interior decorating, event/wedding planning, and recipes! (Actually, I've pretty much always been interested in interior decorating and event/wedding planning,) but I've added recipes to the roster of interests now. Damn I wish I had the money to go out and buy all the ingredients needed for the super delicious looking gourmet italian meals I was looking at yesterday! :P I want to start compiling a bunch of recipes in a recipe box, but the only problem is , I DON'T want to compile recipes that taste like crap. So ... I need to test them before I compile them ... or maybe I could compile them and THEN test them ... and THEN throw the recipe out if it stinks ... see my problem here? lol :P
Last night I realized that I haven't really gone anywhere lately. And by, "I haven't gone anywhere," I don't necessarily mean traveling to some distant state or country. I'm talking about places right here in California! So I made a list of things I want to do this summer. The list includes, (in no particular order,)
1. Go to the San Diego Zoo (It's supposed to be the best in the US!)
2. Go to Six Flags Magic Mountain and try the new roller coaster! Woo hoo! (Right now you can by a day pass for $59 and you get the entire year FREE! That's an entire YEAR for $59!!! AND you can use it at ANY Six Flags.) Wow ... I'm beginning to sound like an infommercial! :P
3. Visit the Getty Museum
4. Visit the Griffith Observatory
5. Go home to visit and maybe force Chris to come with me :P
6. At LEAST go home by myself, lol
And there were some other things on the list that I can't remember at the moment ... ooops ... I'll have to update the list later ... :P
Well, I need to go take advantage of this lovely 70 degree weather by taking a nice long run in the park before work. Hasta la vista, baby! ;)
Remember how I said I had the urge to travel and that I was slightly jealous of Michelle's current trip abroad? Well, last night I just remembered that my dad and Carolyn are ALSO in the middle of a trip abroad! Today they're in Tel Aviv, a city in Israel. Over the next week they're visiting a bunch of historical sites like the Sea of Galilee, Jericho, Jerusalem, The Mount of Olives, and Mount Zion. (To name a few.) No fair no fair!
Arrrrgh. Today at the Elephant Bar I felt about as bloated as The Marshmallow Man with cramps that made me want to just curl up in a ball and die. lol. Okay, maybe not die, but atleast go home. :P On the other hand, this elderly woman I was serving informed me that, "You have such classic features! Cheek bones, and a little turned up nose. It's so darling!" LOL. It made me laugh.
I hate it when your car is dirty and it looks like it's going to rain really hard outside- and you get all excited about the upcoming free car wash- and it rains for like TWO seconds. WHICH of course leaves your car even MORE dirty then it was before.
I really want to do something ... go some where! I've been having the incredible urge to travel or do something ... probably because the only place I travel to is the Elephant Bar, lol. AND it doesn't help that Michelle is off exploring in Europe! But then again, I'm not jealous! Noooo, not me! :P I feel like I need a break in my routine ... which lately has gotten rather monotonous ... hmmm ...
YES, yes I know this blog is boring you. Why? Because I'm even boring myself. LOL.
Today, I'm mourning the loss of my beloved smiley-faced tooth earring. Last night, as I was leaning over the sink to wash my face, my little tooth fell off my ear and went straight down the sink drain. Panicked, I looked down the drain and saw my little tooth wedged in the pipe smiling back at me. CRAP! I've got to save my tooth! I quickly ran to the closet and grabbed two wire hangers in hopes of bending them in a hook shape, sticking them down the drain, and saving my earring. But JUST as I began the rescue process, my little tooth slipped away right before my very eyes. I was devastated! My tooth earrings were my TRADEMARKS at work! I was very upset. I'm still upset. WAHHH!
On a brighter note, last night I also discovered a new favorite cereal; Kellogg's Eggo Waffle cereal! (In the cinnamon flavor!) I've always been a fan of Eggo Waffles, and this cereal actually tastes like eating little mini crunchy waffles! Sooooo yummy! AND, unlike some cereals, this cereal tastes great with or without milk. I've been munching on it as a dry snack. Mmmmmm! When I asked the president his opinion on Eggo Waffles, he responded, "I agree, Eggo Waffles are quite good."
Pimples can be like tornadoes. They can pop up suddenly with little warning, do their damage very quickly, and then you're just stuck with the aftermath. That just happened to me. Friday morning I woke up and with little warning, I had about 4 pimples just suddenly pop up, and by Friday evening they had errupted, and by Saturday morning they were gone. Now I'm just stuck with the aftermath; little pink spots that mark the place where the pimple used to be. The aftermath. Those little scar like spots that take forever to heal. Arrrgh!
Okay, I think I've covered enough random topics for the day! :P
The Elephant Bar has been closed for the past couple of days due to some remodeling that they're doing in the kitchen, so I've been forced to have a few days off. It has been SOOOO nice. I neeever get to have more than ONE day off in a row. I'll get Monday off, and maybe Thursday off, but never two or more days in a ROW. So yeah, I've been hanging out at Chris' place for the past couple of days. I've watched more tv in the past couple of days then I've watched in the past 8 months. NO, REALLY. I have.
I also had a $10 rewards card from Best Buy that I needed to spend, so I bought the dvd 'Father of the Bride.' I simply love that movie! And Steve Martin is great. I watched it yesterday, which made me really happy.
I've also gotten to observe my boyfriend acting quite insane this past week due to finals. Yes ... I think I'm just as relieved that his finals ended about 2 hours ago as he is! :P (Right now he's currently singing in a high-pitched voice about Toasty and Tang. Ohhhhh boy.) Chris: "Here's a question: do old women's eye brows turn white when they're old like mens?" In all fairness, Chris would like to explain that his downward spiral to insanity was brought on by the 49 page paper he turned in earlier today.
Tomorrow, the vacation ends. Back to work! Ohhhhh goody.
I was talking to Chris on the phone yesterday and during the conversation, he compared me to a "small asian with a big butt," and "a blonde haired, blue-eyed guy." (Don't ask!) So I responded by saying, "Well yeah, I actually do have some things in common with guys!" First I listed my love for food, and then how I love playing video games. "Wait-" Chris objected, "Super Mario really doesn't count Allison." What? I thought, I'm so hurt! My poor boyfriend is under the assumption that the only games I like are Super Mario Bros! Well, let me tell you, I had quite a few favorites back in the day! We're talking 90's Baby! Among my favorites to play while growing up were (In no particular order):
* Mario Brothers (all of them!)
* Super Mario Kart
* Yoshi's Island
* F-zero
* Street Fighter
* Mortal Kombat
* Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (kowabunga! lol)
* Mega Man (not to be confused with "O"-mega Man! :P)
* The Legend of Zelda
* Earth Worm Jim
* Donkey Kong Country
* Donkey Kong 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
* Pilotwings (I'm the MASTER of the rocket pack!!!)
* Tetris Attack
* Double Dragon
* Sonic
* Duck Tales
* Paper Boy 2 (oh, the memories!!!)
* Kirby's Dream Course
* Sim City (the origional before all those other SIMS games.)
* Sim City 2000
And probably some others that I can't think of right now ... unfortunetly I've been out of the loop since all the "new" stuff has come out. (Aside from playing SOME games, like Mario Party, Evil Dead, and Grand Theft Auto, lol!) Games have gotten much more complicated and detailed, and I no longer have any type of game system at my disposal to work with ... (except Chris' playstation 2 ... which I haven't really explored yet.) :P
Last night after watching American Idol, I stayed tuned in order to watch the premiere of the new tv show on Fox called "Wedding Bells." This new series is about three sisters who are wedding planners that took over the family wedding business after their (yet-to-be-seen) parents divorced. I must admit, I was quite excited when I found out there was going to be a show about wedding planners ... seeing that well ... I like to plan weddings.
The show has potential- every week they'll deal with bridezillas, runaway brides, mothers-of-the-brides and all the complications that accompany high-stress wedding days. There were several parts in last night's premiere that had me laughing out loud, and there were many parts that made me smile.
However, at times the comedy seemed a bit forced, like they were trying too hard. I just didn't fall in love with the characters ... although maybe I need to see more episodes in order to actually watch the characters develope. Part of the problem was that so many characters were introduced in last night's episode that there wasn't enough time during the hour to do any of them justice. But, that problem can be fixed as the show progresses.
In all, I love the idea of the show, and I found last night's show enjoyable, but there's definetly some kinks that need to get worked out before I get hooked. :P
On another note, the two girls that I want to get booted off of American Idol tonight are Antonella and Haley. I will be SOOOO pissed if Antonella makes it to the top 12!!!!! Ahhhh!
Random thoughts ...
Speaking of boobs, today I finally broke down and bought another strapless bra. You see ... awhile back I invested in a nice, strapless bra from Victoria's Secret because I didn't have any ... and it was $45! Unfortunetly, a few months ago it suddenly disappeared. So I've been doing the whole 'wearing spagetti straps with the bra straps showing' thing for the past few months. To me that just looks tackey, especially when your bra doesn't match what you're wearing and it's completely showing. So today I forced myself to get another one. Yes ... it was $45. And I HATE buying a bra if I don't have at least ONE pair of underwear that matches, so I spent another $14 on a pair of matching underwear. AHHH!
On the bright side, I decided to try the new "Secret Embrace" line, (pictured above,) and it's soooo comfortable! I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to make the underwear investment like I did. : P The bras and panties have no wires, (well, obviously the panties don't have wires, lol,) but they still offer support for the boobs. Most seamless/wireless bras don't get much support, but these do! And they're really smooth, so they look great underneath clothes.
Okay, I've spent far too much time talking about boobs and bras. LOL. But yes, Victoria's Secret Embrace line, wonderful! : D
For those of you who watched American Idol at all last season, chances are you probably remember Kellie Pickler, that bubbly blonde from Albemarle, North Carolina. She definetly played the "dumb blonde" card by playing up her nieve-ness, i.e. mispronouncing calamari, (not even knowing what it was,) saying the word "salmon" like "SAL-mon," etc. Anyhow, she got to be rather annoying, to say the least. Although she didn't win the competition, she still toured with the "top 12" and has been making country albums.
Last week, she made an appearance on the American Idol elimination night to sing a song- and the first thing I noticed was her boobs. They were huge! It looked like they had ballooned from a 38-A cup to a double DD! Apparently, I wasn't the only one who noticed. Ryan Seacrest, (the show's host,) obviously distracted by how enormous Kellie's boobs had suddenly gotten, asked her, "So, after Idol, what have you been spending your money on?" With a sheepish grin, Kellie replied, "Shoes." Yeah. Right. "What else have you spent your money on?" Ryan asked further. Hmmmm ... I'm betting a boob job.
In addition to getting a fake looking boob job, Kellie's song that she sang and "co-wrote" left something to be desired. It was pretty dull. And not only was the song dull, but her stage presence was very lackluster. She stood in the same spot the whole time, with little to no arm movement, and showed very little facial expression. It was like she had no emotion. Auuugh.
And I'm still wondering, "Why would you want to go from an A-cup to a DD?" Not only is that going to stretch out your boobs and make them look bad, (in addition to fake,) but ... but ... I know alot of people who complain about having large boobs! My roommate (who has DD's,) is always complaining about how it hurts to run because her boobs are flopping all over the place, and that she can never find tops that fit because her boobs are too big. Now ... I'm not saying being fully-endowed is a bad thing ... but ... going from an A to DD? Now that's overkill.
Hi all. Come Monday, Allison will most likely discuss Kelly's new boobs. Until then, just look at these before and after shots.
Last night I realized I may have a problem ...
Well ... I successfully completed my FINAL 8-hour shift at Starbucks this morning- whoo hoo!!! No more getting up at 3:45am for me! Although ... quitting was slightly bitter sweet. On one hand, the people I worked with were really nice, I loved being able to walk to work, and I loved all the benefits. BUT ... after a year and a half I no longer appreciated working at 4:30am and working every day of the week ... BLAHHH! The time had come.
I was going to take this opportunity to do a bit of shopping ... you know ... to celebrate the end of Starbucks! But the problem is ... I'm so freak'in tired right now that all I wanna do is go konk out on my bed ... especially if I'm going to have any energy for kung fu tonight! Hmmm ... such a dilemma. :P
Oh, the cute sleepy hamster is a picture of how I feel right now ... only ... minus the cute. :P I don't look so cute with my hair all damp from just getting out of the shower!
