Oh What a Tuesday Afternoon

Yesterday Chris and I saw the movie '28 Weeks Later.' I remember seeing the first one, '28 Days Later' with Coon a few years back. We both found it to be pretty retarded. But Chris insisted that it should be given a chance because it recieved a %71 review on Rottentomatoes.com (even though the first one sucked and it got an %89 rating.) It was definetly better than the first one, and it was a farely decent horror sci-fi zombie film. In fact, I admit to hiding my face in Chris' shoulder a few times during the film, watching it through a sliver through my hair. For some reason, it makes it a little less scarey if you can't see much, or can only see a little bit. :P Ultimately the main plot of the movie is the quest for survival, but if you like zombie and/or horror films, you might want to see it. It sorta freaked me out. :P

Because Chris is a big fan of the fish at Long John Silver's, I finally let him take me out to eat there. (I've had an intense fear of that restuarant ever since I went there like 10 years ago ... ) I got a sampler platter which included battered fish, shrimp, hush puppies, french fries, and half an ear of corn. The fish was pretty good ... but the shrimp was just okay in my opinion. The french fries were good, (much like McDonalds,) and the hushpuppies I didn't really care for because they tasted a bit like stuffing, (something I'm not a huge fan of.) I also got a side order (I know I ordered alot of food! hehehe) of battered jalepeno cheese bites. Those were GOOOOD. Mmmmm yummy. So overall, it was okay. Not as terrifying as I remembered, but everything was a bit too "battered and fried." I could actually hear my arteries clogging with each and every bite. :P

I was really horrified as I was watching the Miss Universe pageant last night. During the evening gown competition, (which would narrow it from 10 down to 5 women,) Miss USA SLIPPED and fell right on her BUTT. Yes, embarassing. But what's even MORE embarassing is that she got a higher score than over half the girls- girls who DIDN'T make an arse of themselves by falling on their rears. I mean, the evening gown competition is SUPPOSED to be judged on how poised, elegant, and confident you are. WHAT the hell. Chris and I were so horrified. At LEAST she didn't win (4th runner up.) Miss Japan won.

Over the weekend Chris told me he thought he might have skin cancer on his back because he noticed two dark freckle/moles on his back that he didn't remember seeing before. I looked at them, and told him they weren't skin cancer. With my fair skin, and having gotten several severe burns in my day, I've become MUCH more aware of skin cancer and taking precautions to prevent it. I've done research on how to tell what might be a sign of skin cancer. Of course, there are three types of skin cancner, the first being Basal cell carcinoma. It accounts for approximately 75 percent of all skin cancers. This highly treatable cancer starts in the basal cell layer of the epidermis (the top layer of skin) and grows very slowly. Basal cell carcinoma usually appears as a small, shiny bump or nodule on the skin - mainly those areas exposed to the sun, such as the head, neck, arms, hands, and face. It commonly occurs among persons with light-colored eyes, hair, and complexion. The second, Squamous cell carcinoma, accounts for about 20 percent of all skin cancer cases. Although more aggressive than basal cell carcinoma, this cancer is highly treatable. It accounts for about 20 percent of all skin cancers. Squamous cell carcinoma may appear as nodules or red, scaly patches of skin, and may be found on the face, ears, lips, and mouth. Finally, Malignant melanoma accounts for 4 percent of all skin cancers. Malignant melanoma starts in the melanocytes - cells that produce pigment in the skin. Malignant melanomas usually begin as a mole that then turns cancerous. This cancer may spread quickly. Malignant melanoma most often appears on fair-skinned men and women, but persons with all skin types may be affected. The chart shows how to destinguish benign moles from melanoma ... Alright, I've babbled enough! With summer approaching, put on your sun screen!!! :P

Pirates

Oh yeah, Chris, his family, and I went to go see the new Pirates, At World's End movie on Thursday night. I liked it better than part two, but I found the whole Calypso thing kind of stupid. And her ending was so lackluster! I mean ... she grows all gigantic at the end just like Ursula from 'The Little Mermaid' and I atleast expected her to get into the ocean and start commanding the waves or SOMETHING! lol ... but no. Instead she just explodes into a million little crabs and that's the end of her. And the little petty fight between Orlando and Keira was kinda annoying. As Chris said, there was too much unnecessary backstabbing.

However, I really enjoyed all the multiple Jack Sparrows, (who wouldn't, afterall, enjoy seeing a ship full of nothing but Jack Sparrows?) Hehehehe. And of course there were many other good parts, but I don't want to babble TOO much for those who haven't see it.

My Rant of the Week

I'm slightly annoyed right now. No no- I'm quite annoyed. Actually, I'm VERY annoyed right now. Why, you might ask? Because I just checked my monthly phone bill on the Cingular website, and my bill (which is usually $49 a month,) is $150 this month!!! *&%$#@! Why? Because my lovely friend whose currently living in London decided to give me a ring. And as lovely as the not-so-long conversation was, it was NOT worth $100!!! I mean ... AHHHHHH!!! I'm ... very annoyed. That's an entire month's worth of gas money and THEN some! I'm huffing and puffing right now. As you can see ... or rather ... READ.

I'm also annoyed because I ordered something for $79 in the mail that was SUPPOSED to arrive on WEDNESDAY, and it's now FRIDAY, (although technically it's SATURDAY at 1:35am) and it HASN'T arrived! With my luck, it got LOST in the mail. I'm ... very annoyed.

Work was slower than usual for a Friday night ... I'm ... very annoyed.

Jordin Sparks won American idol. Arrrgh. Yuck. I'm ... very annoyed.

I'm $150 (possibly $79 more if I don't get my package,) OVER budget this month. Ahhhh ... I'm ... (you guessed it,) VERY annoyed.

I Predict ...

Ok so after viewing the first half of the American Idol finale tonight, I predict that Jordin will one. Personally, I like Blake better because of his originality (I spelled it right just for you Chris :P) But because the final song they both had to sing was much better suited for Jordin's voice and style, she of course did a better job. That AND the fact that she pulled a Carrie Underwood and started crying at the end of her song. I was like, "DAMN. Why did she have to freak'in start crying? Now she's gonna win!" Arrrrg. On the bright side, I DID burn 700 calories on the treadmill while watching it ... :P

Finale Tonight!

I'm so freak'in puuuumped! :P

I'm figuring out how to use the garageband program that came preinstalled on my computer, and it's soooooo cool! There's TONS of different really neat effects to use, and it's also REALLY easy to record. I don't even need to buy a microhpone! AND it's so easy to put my songs that I record on iTunes ... ohhhh yeah baby. I've already put a really old and slightly junkey version of myself singing my new myspace profile song ... hehehe. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks, I will have finished and recorded an "original" to replace it with! Boo ya!

I also forgot that the American Idol finale was tonight until I was driving home from work (I drive by Hollywood Blvd. every day by the Kodak Theatre,) and there were of course already TONS of people lined up along the red carpet. I thought about going, but 3 hours before it was even to begin it was already BUTT crowded. I decided I'd rather just watch it from the comfort of walking/running on the treadmill. :P

Late Night Babble Fest

Last night my rommates Kara, Lesley and I were all sitting around talking. I can't remember what we were talking about, but Lesley suddenly farted and then we started talking about farts, which lead to us all discussing poop. STEAMING poop actually. She mentioned that she had a steaming turd a few days ago and I was all horrified because I wasn't aware that humans pooped steaming turds. So I spent about 30 minutes on google trying to figure out why turds steam. I still haven't figured it out. :P

Then we transitioned from talking about turds to a more "serious" discussion. Lesley started talking about how she is mad at God because all the things she's been asking for haven't happened. She was like, "I know God takes care of me, but I haven't seen anything big yet. I haven't been given anything I've asked for. I want a miracle!" (Part of the "miracle" would be getting 1.5 million dollars so she and Kara can move into this Santa Monica home they want to buy at the end of the summer.) But ... you DON'T always get what you ask for. Some times what we ask for is NOT what we need. She's also a bit unhappy because her acting career hasn't taken off yet. She said she "knows God has something big planned, but she doesn't know when it's going to happen" and that bugs her. She seems pretty unhappy with how things are going. She doesn't seem to be enjoying the journey she has to take before "big things" start to happen. But "the journey" is often the most important part!

For instance, I want a successful event/wedding planning bussiness. I would love for "big things" to happen with it right now. But I have to work towards that before it happens- and I'm loving the journey! I love looking at wedding magazines and getting new ideas. I love working on my "inspirational ideas" wedding notebook. I like coming up with a business plan and setting goals to achieve. "The journey" makes you appreciate things more (and you learn alot too!) For instance, I would have LOVED to have had a brand new computer 9 months ago instead of having to go to the library every day and often WAIT to use the computers (AND you have a time limit on them.) BUT, having been doing the library thing for such a long time has made me truly appreciate the brand new computer I just got. I LOVE it!

She's also unhappy because she wants a boyfriend NOW because she wants to get married. I mean ... her marriage clock is seriously ticking! In fact, I have another friend whose marriage clock is also ticking. He desperately is trying to find "that woman" so he can get married. He's always seeking, always dating around to find that special some one. But the funny thing is, it's usually when you're "not" looking that things start to happen! When I met Chris I was definetly NOT looking. Looking was the furthest thing from my mind. In fact, when I met Chris I desperately wanted OUT of the relationship I was in and to be single. But, it just happened! (and I'm glad that it did!) :P

Anyway, I'm totally babbling. :P

OH and today was amazing. I had grilled cheese sandwhiches with tomato soup (YUM) and watched Donald Duck cartoons while working on my wedding notebook and talking to Chris. All my favorite things! Chris, Food, Donald Duck, and wedding planning. AND I had a white mocha from Starbucks. Now if I had a Michelle and a Mizzy, the day would have been perfect! :)

Fun Day

Today Chris stopped by for the afternoon since he had a job interview that was sort of in my area, and we ate lunch at Johnny Rockets (which I had actually never been to,) and it's right next door to me in the Farmer's Market! It was VERY tastey. Basically, it's sort of like a Steak'N'Shake. The decor, the atmosphere, the servers even wear bow ties! And their burgers were DAMN good. I was very pleased. I couldn't believe I hadn't eaten there yet after almost living next to it for about 10 months!

After lunch we came back and watched a movie, (for the FIRST time in my apartment!) Ever since I moved in, we haven't had a dvd player because it apparently got stollen after my roommate left it in the commons area ... soooo yeah ... haven't been able to watch movies. WELL I can NOW watch movies on my beatiful 20" iMAC! Very exciting. We watched 'Elf,' and although it WAS quite cheesy, it was pretty funny.

We also recorded little mini movies on my computer with Chris talking in chipmunk voice and slow motion, where I was SERIOUSLY amused. This computer is going to be providing me with HOURS of entertainment. :P

Tonight at the Elephant Bar, I had a table of 9 people. They basically just ordered a couple appetizers and some drinks. Lots and LOTS of drinks. SO many drinks in fact, that they spent about $300 in alcoholic beverages alone. Their bill was about $375, and they left me a $100 tip. Now THAT was nice. I also got a $20 tip from some french guy on a $50 bill. That makes me very happy. Especially since my wallet got seriously drained this week.

WELL I should probably go to bed soon ...

UPDATE!

I would just like to start off by saying that I'm typing this blog from the comfort of my own bedroom. That's right, I said bedroom! WHICH means I'm obviously NOT in the library, WHICH means I got my computer! :D

It's ... beautiful. And it was SO easy to set up. All I had to do was plug in ONE chord from the computer to the wall and then connect the mouse/keyboard. That's it! All the programs were already installed and I didn't even have to hook it up to anything for the internet to work! The internet just ... worked!!! And there's an AWSOME movie/dvd making program on here already along with a super cool music and photo program too. OH oh! And there's already a webcam/video capture thingy built INTO the computer! AND I can BURN not just cds, but dvds too! AND I can now hook my keyboard up to the computer and record all my songs onto my computer and burn them onto cds. AND I can now, for the FIRST time, watch dvds in my BED!!! I am SOOOO watching Donald Duck cartoons tonight! And, I'm so excited. Happy times.

There's MORE! :P

I just found the type of desk I want, if not the desk I want, for $40 less then I had budgeted!

And I also found the super cute kind of chair that I want for $139, which is $20 less then I had budgeted ... I I'm going to save $60! Hehehe. I'll spare everyone from looking at the two "guest chairs" that I want for $50 each. :P

My Dilemma

The benefits of working (or shall I say, having worked), at Starbucks just keep rolling in! Despite the fact that I quite almost 3 months ago, I still recieve free beverages from the wonderful partners at my store. And as if free white chocolate mochas and chai tea lattes weren't good enough, a few days ago I recieved a lovely little card in the mail from Starbucks telling me all about their "partnership with iTunes and Apple." I recieved a free playlist of songs (7 new songs,) to download, in addition to another free song of my choice. To add to that, I'm also apparently still elegible for discounts on Apple Prodcuts, like the iMac I want! (You have to either be a current employee of Starbucks, or an "alumni" employee of Starbucks.) You can also "extend" your discount priviledges to friends and family!

Anyway after all this babbling, the point is is that the iMac I want would cost me $1,410 with my discount and $1,499 without it. In order to use the discount, I would have to order it online from the Apple store (with free shipping.) So NOW I don't know whether to order it online and save $88, or to just buy it from the Apple store within walking distance of my apartment. Having it shipped makes me a wee bit nervous, because the mail delivery people around here seem quite retarded at times. The last package I recieved in the mail was in horrendous condition when it arrived. It had a gigantic tear in the top of the box- it's a wonder all the contents didn't come spilling out!

Oh what to do what to do ... is saving $88 really worth the risk of having it shipped by people who throw packages around because they don't care that things might break just as long as it gets delivered?

:::sigh:::

Hmmm

Included on Time's list of the '100 most influential people' are Leonardo DiCaprio, Rosie O'Donnell, Kate Moss, and Hilary Clinton. But, George W. Bush is not included! I agree with my dad who said, "Whether you like George W. Bush or not is irrelevant. You mean to tell me he is not one of the 100 most unfluential people? Sounds like major bias to me. (Or denial.)"

My poor Chris is completely worn-out from working full-time and completing his masters. He really doesn't do anything but work and watch the occasional movie ... that's why I'm extremely excited that a.) He's finishing his last class in the next couple weeks, b.) It's almost summer, and c.) He's coming home with me for almost TWO WEEKS of NO WORKING! Working will NOT be allowed under ANY circumstances.

And I get so annoyed with all the girls who I work with that are always complaining by saying things like, "I haven't seen my boyfriend for TWO days, can I PLEASE leave early so I can go see him?" I just want to say, "Oh ... TWO WHOLE days huh? I get to see my boyfriend more like once every TWO WEEKS!" Grrrrr.

And while I'm complaining about my poor boyfriend and my lack of getting to see him, I might as well complain about my leg hurting. Yes ... for the past couple of days my right leg has been hurting ... it's the outer SIDE of my leg around the knee area, (although it's NOT the knee, it's the side/almost back of my leg in that area.) And yes. It hurts. When I do the stretch where you grab your foot and hold it up against your butt it really hurts (it normally doesn't.) It has a sore yucky feeling. Oh and stiff feeling. Let's not forget stiff. Some times straightening it hurts too. I'm hoping it's just stressed from too much exercise. Okay I'm done for the day.

And no ... I don't know what a Cookie Monster picture has to do with this blog. Maybe it just means that I want a damn cookie!

More Blathering

I'm so excited about the prospect of getting a computer of my very own (I've never HAD a computer of my very own,) that well, I'm going to blather some more about it! :P

I just realized yesterday when talking to Chris that the iMAC that I plan on getting has no "computer" box! That big, bulky box that takes up either all your foot space or all your desk space, is actually the monitor! Which is what ... like 1 and 1/2 inches thick? And and ... the keyboard and mouse are wirelss! In fact, there's no wires at all! I remember setting up the computer Roger and I bought when I first came here was a major pain in the arse. All the different parts, chords, and cables! But ... you can just take this computer out of the box and start using it! And OH the movie making/dvd making/music/and a crap load of other stuff that it comes with is LOVELY! It really IS as good as those commercials. :P

I Love Mondays

Ahhh ... I finally have enough to purchase this!

I can't decide when I should get it ... I might wait another month or two ... but I'm BUTT excited about it! :D AND this will mean that one of the biggest "start-up expenses" for my business will be paid for!

I love Mondays. Almost everyone I know hates them, because it means that the weekend is over and the work week is starting again. But for me, I WORK all bloody weekend long and Monday is my day off. Yay for Mondays!

Well I'm off ... to the Apple Store that is ... mehhhh he he he he ...

New Profile

I'm sure most of you know this by now, but I have a new myspace profile (with lots of new pictures!) My old profile layout got all sorts of messed up and I couldn't fix it, so I have a new one. Please add me if you haven't already!

http://www.myspace.com/186711102

Anyhow this is short because I need to get some things done before work. Booo on work, boooo!

I'm COMING HOME!

Hey everyone!
Mark your calenders! :P I will be in Missouri on Thursday, July 5th until Monday, July 16th! Chris also bought a plane ticket which means he's coming along too! :D (Unless for some reason he can't ...)

Woo hoo!

Music Makes/Brakes the Movie

So ... how do I begin?

Growing up one of the classic horror films that I was introduced to at a young age was 'Night of the Living Dead.' I remember having sleepovers with my friend Chrissy ... we would pop some popcorn, snuggle up in our sleeping bags, and pop in some good 'ol horror films. I remember one time we almost woosed out while watching 'Night of the Living Dead' before the opening credits were even over! My point is, 'Night of the Living Dead' as a cinematic horror classic.

Chris purchased the newer 30th anniversary edition of the movie, (released in 1998,) because it was only $5! (That and the picture quality was supposed to be better.) Other then that, it was the same horror film that we all grew to know and love. Oh ... except the fact that an "all new musical score" had been created for the film. :::sigh::: (and that's not a GOOD sigh either.)

Usually, the opening scene when Johnny and Barbara are in the graveyard puting a memorial on their father's grave is chilling. While Barbara kneels to pay rememberance to her father, thunder begins to roll in the backround as her brother Johnny begins to reminesce about their childhood memories of being in the graveyard and how they used to get "really scared." Barbara starts feeling uneasy as Johnny begins teasing her by saying, "They're coming to get your Barbara ... they're coming for you!" Then from across the lonely graveyard a man starts walking towards them. Slowly. "They're coming to get your Barbara ... look! Here comes one of them now!" Only, it really IS a zombie. Johnny wrestles the ghoul only to be knocked unconcious by hitting his head on a grave stone. Barbara is left to fend for herself as she is chased through the country side in the opening scene. BUT- THEN the "all new musical score" starts.

Ahhhh yes, the musical score. What can I say about the new music that they replaced the PERFECTLY good origional score with? It ... SUCKED!!!! It sounded like a REALLY bad 80's horror movie, like one of the extra crappy 'Friday the 13th' movies. In fact, the music was so loud and horrible that it COMPLETELY distracted you from the entire scene. Usually I get chills when I watch that scene. THIS time, however, I couldn't decide whether I wanted to laugh or cry. (Laugh because the music turned the scene into more of a comedy scene, or cry because of how AWFUL it was.) I seriously almost told Chris to turn the movie off.

Unfortunetly, this terrible new musical score was scattered ALL throughout the movie, in ADDITION to bits and pieces of the orgional musical score so NOT ONLY did the music switch from 80's to 60's, but you could actually COMPARE how awful the new soundtrack was to the origional!!!! I cried inside.

And THAT, my friends, shows how the musical soundtrack of a movie can either make or BRAKE the film. (In this case, it broke the film to pieces.)

Burn Baby Burn!

Today as I was driving home from work I passed yet another one of the Hollywood hills on fire, and I think it was a "fresh" fire because I didn't see any firemen yet. As glamorous as living in the Hollywood hills sounds, I think I'd rather not live some where that seems to get daily red flag (fire) warnings
almost daily during the summer.

Today at work, I was serving two guys, although only one of them was eating. He ordered the Tai Hi Sweet and Spicey Salad and that was it. The bill was $9.25, and he left me a $10.25 tip. Woo hoo! Sweeeeeet! :D

Tonight on American Idol the guest artist that helps the contestants this week is none other than Barry Gibb! Hehehe! Which means all the contestants will be singing BeeGees songs tonight, and Barry Gibb will be performing tomorrow night. Tune in!

I think getting my wedding planning business name trademarked is going to be a pain in the butt ... I can tell ... meeeehhh.

I'm hungry. Time for lunch. Fooood!

Fat Albert Gone BAD

I sat here at the library just now and witnessed one of the most disgusting, nasty, and repulsive displays of behavior I've ever seen!

This guy who was sitting at the computer station across from me was blowing his nose. Not gross right? I mean, we all blow our noses when we have colds! WELL. This guy was not only blowing his nose, but was throwing his overly used snot rags down on the table next to other people. We're talking a big MOUND of snot rags. About 15 snot rags to be exact. (Think I'm kidding? The guy left about 10 minutes ago, but left his snot rags ON THE TABLE for everyone to look at.) In addition, this guy was snorting and hawking up massive loogeys right there at the computer. And I do mean, RIGHT there at the computer. I witnessed him hawking and spitting a nasty looking snot-infused loogey onto the library floor. I mean ... WTF?!?!

He was constantly snorting, hawking, and spitting his nasty-ass crap everywhere. I'm so repulsed. I couldn't tell how old he was ... he kinda looked like Fat Albert. In his 20's? YUCK. Okay I'm going to stop grossing everyone out because I'm grossing myself out.

On a less snotty note, my dad is giving me a "small business grant!" :D I sent him a copy of my 'business plan and start-up costs,' (the same one I put in this blog,) and he was like, "I'm sending you a small business grant!" At this point, any bit of money helps. Yay!

Okay, I need a giant, brain-freezing Coke slurpee from 7-11 right now to recover from the horrific display I had to witness earlier. BLahhh!

Cinco de Mayo and Desperate Men

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! Not that I really celebrate Cinco de Mayo ... I guess I'll be celebrating it by helping others to celebrate it by working at The Elephant Bar tonight! Although I must admit I'm not really looking foward to driving home late after work when there's probably going to be a million drunk drivers out tonight. Grrr.

On Thursday I had a man who looked about 40-ish hit on me as I was walking out of the library. I was walking at a nice brisk pace to go home and from across the parking lot a man says, "Hello!" so of course being the polite person that I am IO respond by going, "Hi!" (but I kept walking.) Well, the man (probably about 5'5", hispanic looking, bit of a gut, short black and slightly receding hair line,) immediately runs over to me and is like, "Oh! I've been seeing you in the library for quite some time now and I've wanted to approach you but I figured you'd just blow me off!" Already I'm thinking, I wish I WOULD have blown you off. "So," he continues, "do you work at Whole Foods? I think I've seen you there," "-no." "Oh ... well are you from California?" "No, not really. Missouri." "Well," he said as he looked me up and down VERY obviously, "you've got a great bod!" Oh god. "Uhhh ... thanks." At this point I take a step foward, indicating that I'm trying to head on my merry way. But no. "Do you work out?" "Yes, and I do Kung Fu." Why do I keep answering his questions? "Well," he said "I play soccer. It gets the oxygen flowing to the brain." All the while very obviously continueing to look me up and down. At this point I'm highly annoyed. Then he asks. "Can I take you out to coffee?" to which I VERY quickly replied, "Sorry I have a boyfriend." He looked like his hopes had been crushed. "Oh ... well I've been watching you for some time and I sorta hoped you were eligible." Eligible? "No sorry, definetly not eligible." "Well, he's a lucky guy because you look great." It was time to start lying. "Right well, I need to go because I'm a bit late for work." Let's just say that as I tried to leave, he continued to look me up and down just ONE more time and tell me that I had a 'great bod' just ONE more time. HONESTLY! Yuck. I was so violated. I immediately called Chris in utter flusteration and left a flustered messagse. Ewww.

On a less yucky note, I'm planning a delicious meal to cook for him (him being Chris, not the yucky 40-ish man I just spent the last paragraph talking about.) :P I think it will be the most complicated dish I've tried to cook yet! I'm going to "test drive" my idea on Tuesday with my roommie Kara to make sure it doesn't end up tasting like crap. :P

Just ahhh.

Fruity summer cocktails here I come! :D

Yesterday I bought a lovely martini set, (cocktail shaker, strainer, jigger, 4 nice martini glasses and a cute black serving tray) for only $12.99! And it's not like cheap crap either. Everything is really nice! My roommie Kara has already "hired" me as the bartender for a party she's hosting next Tuesday, lol. No but really ... summer ... fruity cocktails by the pool ... ahhhh.

Doodely Da Doo

I'm a little peeved because I got invited to go to the premiere screening of the new Bruce Willis and Queen Latifah movie on Friday (complete with the red carpet and question and answer session with the actors,) and I have to work at the bloody Elephant Bar! Gah! And it's a bit doubtful that I'll find some one to cover for me because I noticed that about 4 other people already posted notes at work looking for some one to work for them on Friday with no luck. Meehhh.

Does anyone else have random outbursts? For example ... some times at work when I'm in the back area I'll suddenly say, "Cuuuuh-ris!" or I'll let out a little random squeel of cuteness (about Chris of course.) Or occasionally I'll randomly just blurt out, "Michelle Gabelle!" Hehehehe. I mean ... does Christy ever sit in the library and find herself randomly blurting out Rudy's name for no apparent reason? Does Esther or Resther blurt out Andrew or Jesse's names at random times? Does Michelle ever blurt out- ... you know who? Hehehe! Or am I just a total freak? :P

I'm really sad that Easter is over because that means that my favorite candy of all time, (Cadbury Cream Eggs, of course,) are already GONE!!! It's so tortuous to have my favorite candy avaibale only one month out of the year. :::sigh:::

Two-Lips!

Today on Martha Stewart's website, (just shut-up, hehe) they have a super yummy looking recipe for a fruity sangria cocktail, and irish coffee chocolate truffles! Mmmmm!!!! SOOO yummy. One day, I will move beyond just buying ramen, yogurt, and cerial and into buying REAL ingredients for super yummy recipes like these!!! :D

Spring always gets me in the mood to garden. (Even though I ... currently don't have a garden to garden in.) :( When I was younger, one of my favorite times of the year was during the spring when my mom and I would go pick out and buy all different types of flowers and plant them in our garden. I always had SO much fun! I loved it. Some day I want to have a tulip garden. When my mom was teaching us about Holland I always loved looking at all the huge brightly colored tulip gardens. Ahhh. So pretty. Tulips are one of my favorite flowers, especially the brightly colored ones, like the yellow/red ones.

I'm feeling sluggish today. I need to get my arse motivated to exercise tonight. Blahh.
