| | during this morning's commute, i noticed that the woman in front of me had the same exact hair as kitty foreman. i'm guessing it wasn't an ironic hair-do at 7:30AM. that's a pretty serious silhouette to sport in every day life. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| for every year that i've been on lj, i've posted something on 4/22. well, except one year the post was on 4/21 and the other was on 4/23. so, almost EVERY year.
i'm still posting on LJ, but most of it is private. i like using this to help me remember things down the line. but, not everything i want to remember is something that you folks want to read about.
all is well in c-land. sorta. luna got some sort of stomach bug or something and i'm going to pick up some doggy immodium-AD for her today. i hope this does the trick for her. she's had two accidents in the house and she NEVER has an accident unless it's a real emergency. poor baby. luckily, she's still eating and drinking and chasing squirrels and acting crazy. so, that's a good sign. i just hope her stomach is reacting badly to having her food changed while she was boarded over the weekend during our trip to st. louis.
oh. i went to st. louis. :) the greg, beth, ryan and i went to visit the passinis. a great weekend. AB tour, cunetto's, lumiere place casino (i walked away a big winner with $3 but could have "won" oh-so-much-more if that roulette dude had hit us with the ball when he flung it across the casino floor), an attempt to check out crown's candy that was abandoned when we saw the line and much, much more.
i've gained like 20 pounds in the last 1.5 years. when i finally dropped my second job, i got laaaaaaazy. walking the dogs never really worked as exercise because it's a lot of work to walk two big hounds. i can only walk so far before i just want to take them back home. also, if i walked without them, i felt some SERIOUS guilt. so, i made a decision to get active and start taking care of myself. i haven't really changed my diet but i did join something that rhymes with spazzercise. i missed dancing and i hate gym equipment. so, this is the perfect thing for me. they throw in pilates, yoga and kick-boxing into the 1 hour class. it kicks my ass. i sweat so much that i can smell my own hair. that's sweating!!! i've only been doing it for 2 weeks now, but i love the feeling when i've finished that hour of serious moving and grooving. yes - it can be VERY cheesy but i'm happy to smile and "WOOOOOHOOOOO!" when it means that i've got my butt in gear.
that's enough of an update for now! hope all of you are well. i'm going to go crawl back into my hole.
cheers! | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| warning:
even though it may seem like a good idea to go out for a family-style greek feast for your friend's bachelorette party, you'll really regret this party-planning decision once the bride has had so much ouzo that she's puking up flaming cheese and tzaziki in the back of your car. you'll pray to god to give you the strength to free-base some carpet cleaner just so you can get that smell out of your nose and life for all eternity.

| key to success on a saturday morning. drive around in a circle, stopping at 4 spots that offer desserts/pastries. try something at every place. YUM!!!
gwynne and i went to these 4 marietta spots in an effort to find items for next week's dessert buffet/wedding shower for beth & ryan:
1. la suprema bakery
2. douceur de france
3. BB brazilian bakery
4. jerusalem bakery
good lord. by the time the cute guy at jerusalem bakery was giving us all kinds of things to try (for free - swoon), i just could not eat one more bite. but, it really was a heavenly way to spend a few hours. YUM and YAY for finally stepping foot into a couple of these places that had been on my 'must visit' list for quite some time. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| the greg got some sort of splitter for the bedroom tv so that we can tivo one thing and watch another. along with this new ability, we have found that we receive free pay-per-view and on-demand shows/movies without having a digital cable box for this tv. this is a awesome, but also a bit frustrating. awesome because i'd love to watch JUNO for free. but, frustrating because i can only watch JUNO if someone else in the neighborhood is watching JUNO. weird, right? it's like all the pay-per-view and on-demand requests for the neighborhood are being fed through our tv.
now....apparently, you can order adult movies. oh...and they are NOT scrambled.
and there are lots of people ordering adult movies. i've seen b00bies on sunday morning because someone ordered the porn. can't order a beer in georgia before noon on sunday, but you can order porn.
i now have the habit of blaming the dog when i stop the tv on porn in progress.
"greg, luna found free porn on the tv again."
i'm also now pretty bored with the free porn. it's too softcore.
(meaning, i've officially seen too much free porn.)
when you are watching a movie that someone else has ordered, you also get to see when they stop the movie and rewind it. YES...you can.
"oh yay. someone just ordered KNOCKED UP. why are they fast-forwarding through the whole thing? are they going to go straight to the sex scene with katherine hiegl and seth rogen? oh my god. they went straight to the sex scene with katherine hiegl and seth rogen!!! don't they know there is real porn available out there?!?!? i mean, it's pretty softcore, but it's better than this."
everyone in my neighborhood is now viewed as a potential perv. at least i know who is #1 on the list. | | comments: 14 comments or Leave a comment |
| what's the appropriate punishment for the greg telling me that i looked like a "cute mexican lesbian" as i am heading out the door to an AHS event?!?!
my look must have said something to him because he quickly came back with, "i said CUTE!". | | comments: 13 comments or Leave a comment |
| we had a cook out at work today. one of my co-workers paused when she reached the corn on the cob and then said, "i only eat my corn with butter and sweet & low. i don't think we have either of those."
uh...
ew. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| priceless...
tom hanks' laugh in THE MONEY PIT after the bathtub falls through the floor. man, i loved that scene so much that i put my tape recorder up to the television and recorded it on a cassette. then i looped it...i looped it.
i need to look this up on youtube as soon as i get away from firewall city (aka my office). | | comments: 8 comments or Leave a comment |
| comment directed to me as i pick up dog bones from the pet aisle at publix...
(holding can of wet dog food in his hand)
weird guy: "they should call this 'george bush stew'."
he was loitering in the aisle. i think he was waiting for someone to pass by so that he could use that zinger of a line. | | comments: 6 comments or Leave a comment |
| woah. i can get back on to LJ from work. yaaaaaaaaaay.
i'll try to post again soon. i can't believe i haven't posted anything since the new year. EEK.
hello, lj friends. i tried to read and follow your ljs as much as possible. stop and say hello if you haven't deleted me from your friends page yet. | | comments: 18 comments or Leave a comment |
| What does this song mean? For my whole life I don't know what this song means. I mean, "Should old acquaintance be forgot". Does that mean we should forget old acquaintances, or does it mean if we happen to forget them we should remember them, which is not possible because we already forgot them?"
--Harry ("When Harry Met Sally")
the greg and i picked up the g00b from my niece during our visit to hamilton and we have now been sick for 4 days. i was supposed to work today, but it didn't happen. luckily, my boss was VERY cool about it. ugh. it feels like i'm trapped in some nightmare where i can't sleep, i can't get comfortable, i can't find any food (we didn't go grocery shopping once we got back from ohio and neither of us has felt like going any where) and i have some greasy, greasy donald trump hair don't. ew. the dogs are looking at us, pleading for us to end their boredom and take them for a walk or something. but, no can do. i have, however, let them crawl on top of me to create some strange dog blanket that causes my legs to go numb.
i'll probably be in bed by 10:30. gah. i hope my friends out there do some partying for me along with all of their own scheduled revelry. 2007 was very blahmehfehurgh (excluding the trip to london and paris, duh). i need to make 2008 more memorable. i'm actually considering making some resolutions (god help us all) in order to keep my ass on track.
resolution #1 - watch WHEN HARRY MET SALLY with christian and count the # of times he admits how freakin' awesome that movie is and how he should have seen it by now.
i think i want to go to a halloween party this year dressed as the carrie fischer/bruno kirby characters from WHEN HARRY MET SALLY and we can carry around a wagon wheel coffee table and i can wear a red suede pump.
ok. i'm seriously delusional now. happy end of 2007, everyone. i hope to see you all in 2008 for some face to face time. mwah. | | comments: 6 comments or Leave a comment |
| i keep forgetting to post that i can no longer access lj from work. BOO on the new firewall.
sadly, not much to report. but, now you know why i'm never posting anything. BOO again.
oh - i'm making my mom a mix for christmas and she always told me that she loved the dave clark five WAY more than the beatles. however, i know NOTHING about the DC5. what is their best song? | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
| as part of my housekeeping responsibilities/duties/chores/ugh, i started keeping a bell jar for all FOGs (fats, oils & greases) in my home. i like the bell jar because i can screw the lid closed on the thing and not worry about it while it sits on the counter. a month ago, i was cleaning up before susan arrived in town for the bjork concert. i felt the need to hide the FOG jar from view. so, away it went.
now, where did i put it? i realized a few days ago that i hadn't seen the jar in a while. then, i remembered that i hid it. but, WHERE DID I HIDE IT? i searched ALL of the cabinets in my kitchen (the kitchen cabinets were designed/installed 50 years ago and there are many that are too high for my reach) and i still haven't found it.
so, there is a lost jar of fat in my house. i'm gross. | | comments: 7 comments or Leave a comment |
