I'm lacking on postable items today, but I'll give you some stuff to work with anyway.
Awww.. sometimes life imitates art, doesn't it?
Yeah.. I really have nothing. I didn't realize how much nothing I had until I tried to post it.
Let's do another conversation, this one between J and I. It was actually texts. Let me preface it by saying that I called him yesterday afternoon and left him a message. He then texted me this:
J: You're breaking up..
Me: We're breaking up? That's tacky
(In my head I'm thinking, um.. are we that Jonas Brother and Taylor Swift? I have a feeling her rebound options would be considerably better than mine, but I digress)
J: No dumbass, your phone was breaking up during your message.
I am not drinking excessively or smoking pot non-stop, so I don't know what is going on with my lack of brain cells lately.
I almost forgot: I'm getting glasses. I had laser eye surgery a few years ago and everything has gone really well with it. I'm both excited and shocked that I can see the clock in the middle of the night. However, one eye has an astigmatism so it's only about 95% while the other is 100%. Therefore, that eye struggles to keep up with the other eye so it has come to my attention that I should probably wear glasses for reading and when I'm on the computer, which is the majority of my day. My glasses are in and I just need to pick them up and start wearing them. I actually recycled a pair of frames I had bought just prior to my surgery so now I'll actually get some use out of them. And before you ask, no.. no pictures.
I tried to do a handstand (drunkenly) after the Chatham Fair. Whenever that Ipod commercial comes on talking about "doing handstands for you" I am cruelly reminded of my lack of ability (and fat ass) that hindered me from doing so.
No posts tomorrow so I apologize in advance. I'll have about 45 minutes between work and soccer and that time will more than likely be spent eating and changing. Hope you can get over the hump!!

It defeats the purpose of walking on the treadmill if you're going to eat an entire Red Baron pizza afterwards.
This morning I was listening to my Ipod when the Beyonce song "Ring the Alarm" came on. The alarm went off and I asked my co-worker what was going on, not realizing the alarm was only going off in my ears. She might think I'm crazy.
Seriously, does EVERY boy band have to have a gay guy in it these days? Let's take bets as to which Backstreet Boy is coming out of the closet.. And NO Sandra, it's NOT the "rat-faced" one.
Yes.. this made me happy. Get over it.
An actual conversation I had with my father:
Me: Hey Dad.. when do you have off this week? I need an oil change and Jiffy Lube sent me a coupon.
(Note: Screw you all.. you know I get sucked in at Jiffy Lube and if my Dad takes it, I save money as he is smart enough to say no to whatever they say I need. Sue me)
Dad: I don't think I can do it this week. Maybe next week.
Me: Ok.. whatever works.
Dad: You know, with that new Toyota "saved by zero" campaign, you could probably upgrade your car for the same payment.
Me:................ Um.. yeah but I just need an oil change.
And now he's got me thinking. I know no good can come from this.

Nytropalooza notched our first win of the session by a 2-1 margin, thanks to Shannon's strategically placed head ball and Tre's awesome goal! It was a really great, fun game, with very little bitching. Nice thing was, we had a new ref who didn't call a thing! Really.. that's great, especially for our team who's a little more.... aggressive than other teams! We only had one sub which sounds bad, but after last week's debacle of too many subs, I think it really worked out. Two people (at least) can't come next week, so we should be in decent shape.
I had to run from work to the game, so I didn't eat anything prior (I didn't think it would be the best choice). Instead, I stopped after the game and got myself a Spicy Chicken sandwich from Wendy's, just the way I like it. I haven't had one in a while cause I had a few bad experiences with it, but I was in the mood for chicken. I think my spicy chicken phase is over. It just didn't do too much for me and I was kind of wishing I'd gone for the Baconator. What's happening to me?!
Speaking of food, Shell and I met my friend Julie for lunch today. Julie and I used to bowl against each other in high school and college, and we've managed to stay in touch all these years. So, when I started working not far from her, we decided to have lunch. Julie has introduced me to Moe's and I'm not sure if I'm eternally grateful, or if I should be upset with her because of it. I got an awesome burrito, but I also lapsed into a heavy food coma shortly afterwards.
We have a cleaning lady at my work, who is usually getting started while I'm still there. She empties out my garbage can, but she only empties out the bag, so I keep the same bag all week. It's a little disturbing to me, but to each their own. I have taken to crushing up my post-it notes as I've noticed her spending way too long ripping my post-it's out of my slightly used bag. I felt bad about it. She's a nice lady.
Tre and I got Chinese food on Sunday and this was my fortune: Good luck bestows upon you. You will get what your heart desires. Is Jason Statham coming to town for a Transporter 3 press junket? Cause THAT would make my fortune come true.
Marjorie finally was evicted from the Top Model house this week. The judges finally had enough of her nerves and awkwardness. That leaves Analeigh, McKey and Sam as the final 3. I'm gonna guess Analeigh and McKey will be walking in that final runway show. Sam's fine and all, she just doesn't really compare to either of them.
Aubrey Huff has been awarded the American League Silver Slugger award as DH for the O's! The award honors the past season where Huff was in the league's top 10 in hits, home runs, RBI's, doubles and extra base hits. It's nice to see something good has come from the O's this past season and hopefully he can keep it up, if he's still with the team. I mean.. you never know what could happen so I'm not gonna get too excited. What can I say? I'm a cynical O's fan, but at least I'm still a fan!
Top Chef debuted last night with a slightly oversized episode, where two contestants went home, one of which never even made it to the house after Tom Colicchio has the cheftestants work it out with some apples. I'd explain to you what he made them do but all I can remember is peeling, then something weird, then they had to make something with the apples. The bottom two were actually friends from cooking school (seemingly the CIA in Hyde Park) and while Patrick was upset his buddy went home, he didn't have to wait long to lament about his short time on the show as he was the next to go. There are a few entertainers, some annoying and full of themselves (HELLO STEFAN) but it looks to be a good cast and hey, there always has to be a villain. I'm looking forward to watching another season of shit I'll never eat, yet am enthralled with anyway!
I can't wait till the weekend. I think my Tuesday dress down day really screwed with my head and made this week seem WAY longer than normal. Good luck getting through your Friday!!

This XM/Sirius merger is surely going to be a good thing sometime down the road, but right now it’s just bugging me that they changed the names of some of my favorite channels. What was wrong with Lucy? Why did they have to change it to Lithium!? I know they’re the same channels, but I am just not ready for the new names. However, I should look into it and see if there are some new channels I might like. Ugh.. research.
Jennifer Aniston is FINALLY speaking out about her feelings after Angelina Jolie professed her love for going to work on the Mr. & Mrs. Smith set.
I have yet to see either show this week, but I couldn’t avoid hearing Maurice Greene was the latest to be let go from Dancing with the Stars. The final four are Cody Linley, Brooke Burke, Warren Sapp and Lance Bass. It makes sense to me. I mean, from what I’ve seen lately, Maurice had kind of taken a step back while the others had been steadily improving. Please tell me there are no more group dances… I can’t take it!
I wish I had learned earlier in my life what a wonderful spread cream cheese is. I know what I was missing and I scold myself every single time!
I have an eye doctor’s appointment tomorrow for the first time in over three years. I got the laser surgery and never went back. However, with the migraine and ocular issues I’ve been having lately, it seemed like the right thing to do. Even more so now, as I have vision insurance! I have a pair of frames that I got just prior to having the surgery, so I’ll probably just have the eye doctor put new lenses in them. They’re really cute and I wouldn’t mind having to wear them while reading or at the computer.
My sister’s hair came out really nice. It’s more of an auburn, rather than a vibrant red, like I thought it was going to be. She was thinking like Kate Walsh from Private Practice to which my friend replied “that’s natural. I can’t give you natural red hair.” Course, I’ve only seen pictures, but she swished it around like a hair model so you could see the actual colors. I bet she could have gone redder if she really wanted to.
Thanks to Sue and Pete, I’m all caught up on Entourage and ALMOST caught up on True Blood. If you don’t have HBO or do and aren’t watching these shows, what the hell is wrong with you!? Ok.. maybe you don’t like blood. I can give you that. And maybe you don’t like Jeremy Piven. If that’s the case… stop reading my blog. You’re not welcome here.
I got 10/14 on my football picks last week. I usually just let J do them, but he hasn’t been doing so great lately, so I thought I’d take them over. Don’t tell him, but I just go with what the majority of the people are doing, or I look at what the experts say and give them a shot. It has nothing to do with actual football knowledge by any means. Regardless, I’m kicking his ass and isn’t that really all that matters?
The O's unveiled new uniforms today. They made a big stink about the unveiling and I was really hoping it'd be a little more.. climactic. Still.. YAY! New unis!!! :) New look, new identity.. does that translate into wins? God, I hope so!
Unstable? Paula Abdul fan? NEVER…
Hump ‘em like you’ve never humped ‘em before…. even if you have.

It's gonna be a busy week for me, so I'm trying to sneak a post in while I can. Unfortunately, I don't have much to say!
Operation Ipod is a work in progress. I'm trying to remember what I had on it in the first place, but it's easier said than done. Still, I'm up to almost 1500 songs which puts me pretty close to what I had.
Poor Britney - Girl can't leave town for ONE DAY and something sketchy happens.
Lindsey's not 100% sure she's a lesbian. SHOCKER..
Fringe comes back to TV tonight and I can't wait. Course, I doubt I'll be home to watch it (that seems to be a trend this week) but I still look forward to it. I have a soccer game tomorrow night but it's early so I can't go home after work. I just hope it gets me home in time to watch the first installment of Top Chef in real time. Or something resembling it.
I don't know if anyone watches The Big Bang Theory, but Analeigh and Samantha from ANTM had cameos on last night's show where Howard and Raj spend the entire episode trying to find the location of the Top Model house... and the future Mrs. Wolowitz. I wonder how they pulled off that network crossover...
I went out for Monday Night Football last night, as the majority of my friends didn't have to work today. At least it's a dress down day for me. That makes it not so bad. I have no idea why I don't go more often. $5 all you can eat pizza and wings and a guy I could spend hours staring at. Again... why don't I go? Maybe it's because I only watched mmm... 10 seconds of the game? Yeah.. that could be it.
Winter Walk is December 6th and I'm trying to get some of my girls from college to come. Hudson is "so far away" (let's not point out that I go see them with no complaints) but barring any terrible weather, they might actually consider it. I'll keep ya posted on that one! I feel bad making it out like we enjoy Winter Walk, when really all we do is pre-game at Fish's house, freeze our asses off for about a half hour, then bar hop. I think we do it in a more fun way.
My friend Shannon is dying my sister's hair red today. I'm anxiously awaiting the photographic evidence!!
I've gotta get a move on. Lunch is almost over and I have stuff I need to tackle. Enjoy your Veteran's Day and Happy Birthday to my friend Joey, and J's mom (not that she knows about this blog or anything, but I feel better putting it out there).

Let me catch you up on some things:
My enchiladas were THE BOMB. They were just as good for lunch the day after. I'm no top chef, but I make one hell of an enchilada.
Thursday night I had to get my hair cut by my friend Shannon. Another friend of ours was getting her hair colored for the first time ever, and getting it cut somewhere other than the mall, so we thought it'd be a good reason to get together. A few of us made it a "wine night" and here are some pictures to prove it. 
Tre loves wine night!
Everyone thought a mohawk would be funny... until I still had the goop in my hair after a few washings. 
The finished product! Check out those highlights. Virgin hair no more!!
Friday night, my sister subbed in my league once again. She only bowled OK (for her) the first two games so she decided she was going to bowl 290. Well, she bowled 298 instead! It was such a crazy experience. She buried every single shot and I really believe that if the lane hadn't broken down, she would have gotten her first 300. The lane being sketchy just gave her too much time to think about throwing that final ball. Funny thing is, my Dad bowled 298 about three weeks ago. I sure wish it were my turn next, but I was so nervous watching her that there is absolutely no way I could ever do it myself. My nerves just can't take it!
After that, J and I went to see Zach and Miri Make a Porno. I'd been begging him all week and I finally got my way. It was absolutely hysterical! I mean, I like Kevin Smith movies practically regardless, but this one was just funny from start to finish. I think that even people who aren't huge fans of Kevin Smith can find something to like. It's on my list of movies I highly recommend!
Saturday was our summer softball party, and it was an absolute blast. I have no pictures, as my sister decided it was her turn to take all the pictures, which turned into me trying to figure out how to work the camera so she could continue to be the camera whore she loves to be! However, that also means they are not yet online, or at least I haven't received them yet. When I do, I'll post some. Anyway, we got home around 8 am after staying at my cousin's, so I immediately got to work on my Ipod. It took me 12 hours, but I have come close to getting it to where I want it to be. I reset it to the factory presets and then started downloading and loading my cd's on. Like I said, it took me 12 hours, and it's not perfect, but it's way better than it was a week ago. So, do I still hate Itunes? No... but that doesn't mean they're back on the top of the list either.
I caught up on all my shows, and imagine my surprise to find ELINA got kicked off ANTM!? Um.. seriously? I'm shocked that Marjorie is still there and she's not. Now I have to say that I have no idea who's going to win. Maybe Analeigh will come from behind and take it all! I'd be ok with that.
Mouse watch 2008 - 7 mice in three days. I'm grossed out just thinking about it
Well, I'm trying to watch Shampoo and do my laundry before Rock of Love Girls: Charm School comes on (yes, I have priorities) so I'm gonna cut this short. I'll try to post again in the very near future! Hope you have a great week!!!

Breaking up with Hef is apparently the right thing to do. It kills the show, but it makes so much more sense!!! I mean come on.. did you really think this girl was gonna end up with an 83 year old man? She's dumb, don't get me wrong... but smart enough to know what a good thing she had and move on!
DAMN YOU SUSAN LUCCI... Is it wrong that I hope one of the other male dancers (hello Derrick Hough) comes down with dysentary so Tony Dovolani can take his place?
Soccer was a train wreck. 12 people is just too many to have on the team. There's no time for people to really gel and know how the others play. At least that (and the fact that we're all out of shape) is our story and we're sticking to it. Ugh.. the other team had this goalie that we lovingly call "psycho goalie"... cause she is. She was talking SOOOO much smack and actually threatened one of our girls. Tre got a penalty kick past her, but that was our only goal, mainly because we really didn't give her anything to save. She won't get off so easy next time we play her, let's put it that way.
Time for bed... I might have a concussion (ball kicked to the back of my head) so I'm pretty much just hoping I wake up in the AM! Hump whatever you've got!

I'm always so hungry when I get home from work. I'm not used to this schedule yet. I've basically spent my ride home telling J about all the things I want to eat when I get home. Yesterday, it was a turkey burger on the best rolls ever. I had one left. It had a TEENY spot of blue mold on it. I cut the mold out of the roll. I have a problem. Regardless, it was a damn good turkey burger and I'm glad I did it. Tonight, I made enchiladas and corn bread. However, we're not eating it until tomorrow. It's pretty sad that I have to plan my meals a day in advance. If I do say so myself, the enchiladas look great and I can't wait to see how far my cooking expertise (or lack thereof) goes.
Ok, I love my Grey's and I TOTALLY didn't see this one coming!? Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of the Hahn/Callie relationship, mainly cause I really like Callie and Sloane together, but that doesn't mean I wanted to get rid of the bitchiest bitch on Grey's!? AND, lots of shakeups on Heroes too! Apparently, the recent EW cover lamenting how terrible Heroes has become has really taken it's toll, as the show is being "restructured."
I still adore Hulu. I managed to watch old episodes of Private Practice and 90210, so now I am completely up to date on my television watching. At least for my midweek shows!
No mouse traps yet, which might be why when I (once again) opened the dishwasher, my little mouse friend was sitting on top of one of my dishes, staring right at me. The little bastard isn't even scared of me, yet I (once again) screamed and slammed the dishwasher shut. What he have here, is a battle of wits, that I'm losing miserably.

Dad is coming over today to put mouse traps around the house. I heard some noise the other night behind the dryer and Tre heard some over the weekend, so it looks like our little furry friend has made his way into our home, and hopefully will now make his way into a mousetrap. Sorry animal rights activists - that little sucker scared the crap out of me.
I was lucky that NO ONE was at my voting place today, so I managed to get in before work. I was so proud of myself, that I bought myself an egg mcmuffin. What can I say? Everyone loves motivation.
DWTS - oh, the first group dance was a mess with a capital "M." I didn't think it could get worse after last week, but it sure did. There was no unison whatsoever during the group part, but at least Lance and Lacey kicked ass with their solo. The other team (paso doble) killed it in every single way. There was not even a comparison, although I doubt it's 100% fair since Brooke (while not as good as a professional dancer) had the best shot of looking like she was one! I don't know who's going to go, but I have a feeling this is the last week I'll be able to see my Tony. Damn you Susan Lucci, and your lack of rhythm!
I really wanted to go see Zack and Miri Make a Porno tonight, but it seems everyone else has something better to do. I'm just trying to avoid election coverage. Yeah, I'm informed.
Tonight I'm going to attempt to make enchiladas. I'll let you know how that goes. Sue insists it's easy. So easy that even I could do it. Famous last words.
A new soccer session starts tomorrow, with the new name of Nytropalooza! It was time for a change. We were Wu-Tang for a yearish and after we weren't so successful this past session, we knew it was time to switch things up.
Time for me to get a move on. Luckily for you, they let you surf the 'net at lunch. I'm not making it a habit, but things are crazy so I'm trying to give you what you need... ME!!!
Happy Election Day!

There's a mouse in my dishwasher. Yeah, it was a shock to me too. I opened it to put a bowl in cause my sister doesn't seem to know the true point of a dishwasher, and something grey and furry started coming towards me. I screamed and slammed the dishwasher shut. It's still closed and will continue to be.
Happy Birthday wishes go out to my friend Stephanie (today) and to J (yesterday). J had a birthday party on Saturday night, so I went over to his place to celebrate. In the "it's a small world" category, my friend Rachael's younger sister was one of the guests at the party (Rachael is who I visited when I went to Ireland last year). Anyway, I got to chat with her and she let me know that my friend Crystal's sister (Crystal went to Ireland with me) had her baby on Saturday, so congrats go out to Jenny as well!
Anyway, two of J's friends that live near the city came up. 2 female friends. Yes, he's allowed to have female friends. That isn't the issue. Still, I admit that it made me a little uncomfortable. To be honest, I don't really know many of J's friends, nor do I have much in common with them (HELLO RED FLAG) however I have been with J for over two years and an opportunity for us to meet has never come up and I was kind of OK with that. I really didn't want to go to J's party because I don't really have anything to say to most of his friends and I basically told him that. Not to mention the fact that we didn't see each other all last week so I didn't really feel like spending the time we had with 20 other people. However, that didn't happen. That, and he told me his friend, oh let's call her "bug," was looking forward to meeting me. So, I would have felt bad not going. So anyway, bug and her friend "bee" show up and it's all smiles and "hey how are you" and some small talk. After a few hours the only ones left at the party were me, J, bug and bee. I decided to go to bed and let them all booze it up till the odd hours. Ya know, us old folks need our rest, even with daylight savings time.
One of those bitches snored like a buzzsaw and I could hear it in the next room. Know why!? Cause they were asleep on the couch. I guess I should have been happy they weren't sleeping on J's bedroom floor. Anyway, I heard them get up a little early and they came back a little after 10. How do I know? Because I was woken up by "I want to wake up Justin, but I don't want to wake up HER." Yeah.. TOO LATE. So J asks me if I'm going to breakfast with them all and while I would have rather gone to breakfast with Cloris Leachman, I was starving. I could not have been more of a fifth wheel and the only person even attempting to engage me in conversation was J, and only because he was trying to explain the stories they all were telling. I was beginning to think I didn't want my sausage and cheese omelette that badly! Luckily, my friend Crystal called during the middle of the meal and I was more than happy to take her call. She got me through until my food came. This is about the time I had a revelation as to exactly who "bee" is: The phantom buddy who kept drunk dialing J at all hours of the night last year, regardless of whether it was a school night or not. The phantom buddy who lived in Florida. Yeah.. not anymore apparently. So, I said to J on the way home from breakfast "oh, I figured out who bee is" to which he replies "what do you mean?" I finish with "she's your late night phone call friend... who lives in Florida, right?" He didn't have too much to say after that. After breakfast is when I get the memo that the girls are also going to J's birthday dinner at his sister's house. I'm beyond thrilled. I'm not saying they weren't nice people. I'm sure they are. It just didn't come off that way to me. So I took a shower and as I get out of the bathroom (in a towel) I just yell to J "is anyone here but you?" and he says "yes." Which now means guess who else has to take showers? They were now encroaching on my getting ready space and that's a line you just don't cross.
Luckily, J convinced the girls to ride separately to his sister's, as they would probably (and hopefully) leave before us. So, dinner was good (thanks J's sister) and luckily J's brother and a few other people were there to distract me, but these girls were just... annoying and immature. It was lots of whispering and giggling, like we were at a middle school dance. I counted the minutes until they left. The funniest thing was J's brother in law asked me if I had met them before and I said "no" and just the way he said it you could tell he knew I wasn't impressed. J will usually ask me if I had fun or what I thought of someone, and he was smart enough not to do so in this case, so he must have known things hadn't gone so well. I feel kinda bad but some things just aren't meant to be.
I wouldn't say it's an upgrade, nor does it have the same perks as her old relationship, but at least he might still be alive in 5 years.
Don't forget to vote tomorrow. I intend to, but then I also intend to watch no coverage at all. Thank God the CW will still let me watch 90210 in peace.

What a week! The new job is really going well! I managed to do a few things on my own on Friday and that felt good. Granted, I haven't figured out if I did them right, but at least I was able to give it a shot. Apparently the woman before me didn't come back after the first week, so when I show up on Monday I think they'll be pleasantly surprised!
Last night, Tre and I went to the Halloween party at Meadowgreens: 
Lindsey could not take a picture with her eyes open: She was a bee, Tre was Bristol Palin (Sarah Palin's pregnant teenage daughter) and I was Wednesday Addams. 
Nothing was funnier than watching Bristol Palin do the cha cha slide (she obviously threw in her own moves). It took all my kegel muscle strength to not pee my pants so I could take this picture. 
Why do men LOVE to dress up as women? I felt his boobs too - TOTALLY fake.
Let's not even go there about the Itunes thing. It's still a mess and I honestly haven't even made any attempt to fix it, cause I don't want to get frustrated... again.
Top Chef starts next week so you knew some sort of scandal had to come up.
So Joaquin Phoenix is quitting acting and he wants to start a music career? Maybe he and Jared Leto should have a chat.
Cloris Leachman FINALLY got booted from DWTS. Meaning, I have at least one more week to stare at Tony Dovolani. ,
Sheena was the first evictee from the ANTM house in Amsterdam. She and Elina (once again) were in the bottom two, but Elina survived once again. Miss J took his pants off. I don't think there was anything underneath it. Thank god his shirt was a little longer than usual.
Enjoy your weekend and I'll do my best to post again as soon as I can.

STILL frustrated...
I'm about ready to restore my ipod to factory settings and start from scratch casue nothing is working. I keep downloading and adding files to library.. they show up in my library, but not on my ipod. WTF? I can't even begin to tell you how pissed off and frustrated I am with this whole situation. My ex is a computer geek and he's trying to help but basically when he talks I hear "blah blah blah, you're a computer moron" and that's really it.
Working a full day is tiring. I should probably hit the hay.
I know, my posts aren't really entertaining this week - I'm a little preoccupied. If anyone knows anything about ITunes, please help me. I can't pay or anything, but consider it your good deed for the day.

I am so not having a good night.
I am a mental midget when it comes to computers and I'm pretty sure I've f'd up my Itunes on my new computer so badly, that I'll have to download everything I've ever downloaded again. I'm making a list, and have been for the past three hours. Songs are just disappearing. I need help.
Good first day of work though. The commute isn't bad (so far), got a free lunch at TGI Friday's and I think I might have done something right on the first day. That's not so bad. Course, no one is sure of what my hours are and I know no one's name, but hey. Such is life, right?
Time for me to take some Tylenol PM and pray to God it'll get past my frustration and allow me to sleep.
Let's go Colts!!!

I had a good bowling night, finally. I shot 622 (190-220-212) and picked up the split known as "the greek church" which (for you non-bowlers) consists of 3 pins on one side and 2 on the other. What makes it difficult is that they're all pretty much on the same line, so it's hard to get a good angle on it. I must have though! I picked up the four that if people get close, that's what they get, and then one of the pins came out from behind and knocked the final pin over. It was pretty cool and thanks to that, I didn't pay for a beer from that point on!
The rest of my last day of unemployment consisted of me being the slacker I was meant to be, so I played Guitar Hero for an hour or so. It took me six tries to beat Slash in a guitar battle. The game called me a wussy. I think that was uncalled for.
I got a new laptop for Christmas, but my parents are going to let me have it beforehand. Hopefully that will allow me to continue blogging. I have a pretty good feeling (and hope) that I'll be too busy at work to blog during the day. Well, that and it's probably inappropriate use of time and I share a cubicle with someone else who can look over my shoulder whenever they want. I rarely get online at night, as my laptop is slower than dirt, but with this new laptop, I might not have to retire the blog. Still, cut me some slack next week, as I'll be getting used to an entirely new schedule. Deal? Thanks!

Today is my last day of unemployment and while I'm trying to use it constructively, my friends have introduced me to Facebook, which is the most addicting thing I've ever been a victim of (ya know, besides crack of course!) I should have never done it right before I go back to work, because if I'd done it weeks ago, I could have gotten it out of my system. Not so much now.
The Mad Men season finale is on Sunday night. Thank god, cause now that I'm headed back to work I won't have all day, every day to catch up on my TV watching!
Seems the folks at DWTS are sick of Cloris Leachman, and who can blame them? She's kind of a mockery. A funny mockery at times, but a mockery just the same. Oh yeah.. Toni Braxton got booted this week and Cloris wasn't even in the bottom two. Lance Bass fell and almost took his partner with him, but he's lived to dance another day. Please, like the gays are gonna let one fall ruin his chances!? I think not!
Poor Lindsay.. even lesbianism can't change her evil ways..
My girl Elina almost got booted from ANTM this week. Instead, she's headed to Amsterdam with the rest of the girls. Rumor has it the winner was a frontrunner from the beginning, so I would have been shocked if Elina were the one to go, but you never know with those crazy judges!
Best line from the Office last night: It squeaks when you bang it. That's what she said.
I really love that show. I've even liked Kath and Kim. I know it got shitty reviews, but I find it entertaining. Looking forward to the start of 30 Rock next week. I've never really sat down and watched it (on purpose) but what I've seen has been hysterical, so I think I'll give it a shot.
Back to bowling tonight. That should be interesting, as I haven't been there in three weeks. My dad shot a 298 the other night, but my expectations are a million times lower :).

Wow.. a whole week! I guess that cruise took more out of me than I expected. Actually, it wasn't the cruise, it was the trip home:
We got off the boat and were at the airport by 10:00, ready for a few hours of waiting until our 2:00 flight to Chicago. Out of the group of 31, 6 of us were on the 2:30 flight, the last one of all of ours to leave Orlando. Around 1:00 we notice our luggage is now off the plane. Shortly after, there's an announcement that we're waiting for a mechanic to check out our plane. HOLY RED FLAG. I think I'm going to crash every time I get on a plane, so this was NOT good for me. The last thing I wanted to do was get on THAT particular plane. So, we wait.. and we wait.. and we wait. The people at United keep saying they're going to update us, but it's to no avail. All we can get from them is that there's a leak on the plane and no one knows what it is. Tre has a meeting at 8 am in Saratoga on Tuesday, so we HAVE to get home. Well, at least she does. She goes to the desk to talk to the people to se if there is any other flight she can get on and at one point, the woman says "I need a break" and walks away from her. It was unreal how unhelpful they were. We finally find out that they might be getting us another plane and we'll leave around 6:30. There is a 5:00 flight at the next gate but we were having trouble finding out if there was room on the plane. We had pretty much given up hope when a few people in our group happened to be walking by the gate and they heard Tre's name get announced (something we couldn't hear from our gate). They come running for me cause I had Tre's boarding pass, and she gets on the flight. I was bummed to be by myself, but she needed to get back so that's the way the cookie crumbles. Our friend then asked if there was any way I could get on the flight, and I was able to. However, I consistently asked the woman at the desk if we would make our connecting flight and she insisted we would. Considering our flight was leaving at 5 and our connecting flight was at 5:52 out of Chicago, it was doubtful, but I thought maybe I was wrong about the time difference or something, so I let it go. As expected, we got to Chicago and missed our flight by an hour, so we were basically in the same boat we would have been had we taken the same flight as our friends. We head to the United desk to see if there are any flights to Albany, and the first one was at 8 am the next morning. I really thought Tre was either gonna punch someone or cry. She then asks if there is a flight to Newburgh, which there wasn't. Last ditch effort: Hartford. There was a 9:15 flight that would get us into Hartford around midnight. I instantly called J (he's still out on worker's comp so he can't work until his next doctor's appointment) to see if he could pick us up and save my parents the trip. He says yes, so my mom emails him directions and we are relieved that we'll get back to sleep in our own beds. For the first time that day, we got lucky, as this was the inaugural flight of this route. It was only an hour and 45 minute flight and we got into Hartford before midnight. We had no baggage to pick up, so we were ready to go. However, there was some construction on I-91, so J didn't get there till about 12:30. We finally pulled into the driveway around 2:15 am, which was fine for me, but not so much for Tre. I'd say she got about 4 hours of sleep. She's still recovering!
Course, we still have no luggage. My friends had to stay overnight in Chicago and were taking the 8 am flight to Albany, so I had them call me when they got in to be sure our luggage had made it from Orlando. Luckily, it was there... as was my car. J had to take me to the airport to get everything and I was relieved to finally have all my stuff back. The day before was such a long day and I was just happy to be home. Bunks on cruises are TINY, so it was very nice to sleep in my very own bed again! I owed J big time for picking us up, so I had to take him to Moscatello's in North Greenbush for dinner. How come we basically did this for Tre and me, the unemployed one, is taking him to dinner. How the hell did I get the short end of the stick on that one?!
Here are some pictures to get you through:
This was our first night on the cruise, as we were leaving Port Canaveral.
Beautiful blue water, and Senor Frogs!
Tre and I at Senor Frog's later that night. Check out that tan line!
This is a shot of the private island we were supposed to go to on Sunday. However, (as you can probably tell) the weather wouldn't allow it, which made us spend our day drinking on the boat. It was a trainwreck waiting to happen.

Topic of the day: Project Runway!
The winner was Leeanne, and I'm not saying she didn't deserve it, as her collection was beautiful, it was just a little bland, kind of like Leeanne. It was certainly the most innovative and I found it visually stunning. Like I said, she didn't use much color, but I enjoyed the ones she did use. Still, as the judges said, is she stuck in that petal phase? I guess we'll find out. Personally, I thought Korto got robbed. Her collection was really stunning and I can't wait to see what else she'll do. I even liked Kenley's collection, believe it or not, but I had a feeling with all the "copycat" talk, the judges wouldn't give it to her.
Not sure what the future of Project Runway is. I know there is one, but who knows where it'll end up. Hopefully Bravo will take it back!!!!
How many more of my new favorite actors can we put together in one film?
Wu-Tang won our second soccer game of the season last night, 2-1. The woman I had to play against was a BRUTE! She knocked me over like I was 95 pounds.. It was probably cause she was pushing 250-300, but still! I felt like I got hit by a ton of bricks, even when she just slightly hit me. It was unreal. Still, we brought our "A" game to Afrim's and hopefully we can do the same next week for the final game of this session. Next session we are changing our name to Nytropalooza and we'll be playing in Level 2E, so we won't have to play some of the really kick ass teams we played this session (there wasn't a level 1 this session). Regardless of whether we win or lose, we all have a great time!
Speaking of great times, you won't be hearing from me for a few days cause tomorrow morning I board the plane for Florida and then board a boat to the BAHAMAS!!! I can't wait and with the weather being all gloomy and such it's even more motivation for me to get some sun! Try not to miss me while I'm gone and enjoy your weekend!!
The winner was Leeanne, and I'm not saying she didn't deserve it, as her collection was beautiful, it was just a little bland, kind of like Leeanne. It was certainly the most innovative and I found it visually stunning. Like I said, she didn't use much color, but I enjoyed the ones she did use. Still, as the judges said, is she stuck in that petal phase? I guess we'll find out. Personally, I thought Korto got robbed. Her collection was really stunning and I can't wait to see what else she'll do. I even liked Kenley's collection, believe it or not, but I had a feeling with all the "copycat" talk, the judges wouldn't give it to her.

So Madonna and Guy Ritchie are really divorcing this time, huh? I just don't get why you go to great lengths to deny, deny, deny and keep things a secret, then do exactly what everyone said was going to happen. It defeats the purpose. Still, as a single woman, I'm giving up hope. I mean, if MADONNA can't sustain a marriage in this world, who can? (Sarcasm kids.. look it up).
Yesterday's post about teeth brushing made my friend Rachael think of Aaron Karo, a comedian who has his own website and even sends out a newsletter type thing of his ruminations. He also asks people to put their own ruminations on his site, which I did this morning. I think I have five "gourment points" and only one of them came from someone who knows me. See? I'm funny.. :)
Last night, J and I saw Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist and all I can say is that it is certainly a must-see. I think Michael Cera is the next Ralph Macchio, as he may be playing teenagers until he's 50, but ya know what? I'd watch him do it because I find him so endearing and sweet it's ridiculous. The movie is very funny (which will bring the boys in) and even turns out to be kind of a sweet love story (you know.. for the chicks and the 'mos)! Christopher... next time we get together, we're watching it and I'm sorry I had to see it without you! I know you've seen her in the trailer, but the drunk girl friend... Priceless..
In what was the biggest no-brainer of the season, Rocco DiSpirito and my FAVORITE dancer Karina Smirnoff (again... sarcasm) were booted from Dancing with the Stars. Rocco got a reprieve last week thanks to Misty May-Treanor having to withdraw, but nothing could save him two weeks in a row.
I'm hoping for a soccer win tonight. The team we're playing is probably just around our skill level and it'd be nice to grab a win, even though Tre and Allyson can't be there. Next week is the final week of the session and we play the last place team, who (as of today) have no wins. So... there's still a chance! We'll change our name next session. I think we've used up all the fun of Wu-Tang and will switch to Nytropalooza. It has a little something something... ;)
I should have packed for my cruise today, however, I got sucked into cleaning out my closet instead. I have two HUGE garbage bags full of clothes to take to Goodwill which I'll do tomorrow... while I should be packing. Procrastinate much?
I really don't care if it's real drums or rock band drums, he's still close to the top of my list!
Don't forget! Tonight is the season finale of Project Runway and the last season that will air on Bravo. It's seriously gonna kill me to watch Lifetime... on purpose.

Things I am ashamed of today:
Ever since I've been on unemployment, I've been having a really hard time remembering if I brushed my teeth. When you have a job, you get up in the morning and brush your teeth before you leave the house. It's a no-brainer. For me.. not so much. I hope I have brushed my teeth too much, rather than not enough, but to be honest, I can't remember.
My intense need to know what happens on tonight's season finale of The Rachel Zoe Project. I have never liked her and always thought she looks a bit like a crack baby, but damned if that show is can't miss tv for me.
My Sunday night revolved around the premiere of Rock of Love Girls: Charm School, The Girls Next Door and Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane... and I LOVED them all..
Things I am NOT ashamed of:
I FINALLY watched The Shawshank Redemption and loved it. I guess I should be ashamed that it's taken me this long to watch it, but it was worth the wait.
LOVE LOVE LOVE True Blood on HBO. Sue and I had a mini-marathon yesterday and after five hours, I am in love with the show.
My love for Jeremy Piven has continued, as on Sunday night's episode of Entourage he displayed his tickets to the gun show in a golf shirt.. Grrrrrr
