Speechless

Well, I'm not entirely speechless. As I sit here listening to my sleeping puppy growl and bark (hope it's a good dream...) all I can think is:

damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn

I could keep going, but I'll spare you. I'm sure you're wndering why, but I cannot say. Just note the time and date of this blog as well as a previous blog of mine and some of you may understand. Some of you will eventually understand and the rest will never get it. Sorry.

DAMN

Seriously...

I found this while surfing the internet.

My thought on this: GET OVER IT. IT'S A MOVIE!

Gosh, people are too touchy these days. It makes me mad. If I saw a movie where an Administrative Assistant plotted to take over the company or was really an assassin because they were heartless/'evil', I would not be offended by it. I'm sure there are 'evil' people in every job all over the world. Of the 80,000+ flight attendants in this world, do they really think all of them are sweet, loving human beings who wouldn't view a passenger as crazy if they were looking for a child that wasn't on the passenger list? I find that very hard to believe. People need to grow up and worry about more important things...we have millions of people in this country with no homes, no jobs and missing family...and they're protesting a movie. C'mon now, grow up.

Sorry Joey

Well, tonight is the premiere of Alias. I am very excited; however, I am also bummed at the same time. I was one of the loyal watchers of Joey until tonight (I know there weren't many). I know that show gets borderline ratings/reviews, but I was entertained by it. However, when faced with the conflict that I am, Alias is second to none. I'm interested in how the pregnancy will be written in...although if she still gets her butt kicked on a weekly basis I will be annoyed since pregnant women shouldn't be kickboxing bad guys, ya know? I will probably still watch even if she does though, because the show is just plain addicting. Tick, tock...is it 8:00 yet??

Sparty On

We are getting ready for the big game this Saturday so I felt like posting some pics from the first two home games. Enjoy!





GO STATE! :-)

Chip or Dale ?

You Are A: Chipmunk!

chipmunkEveryone adores these cute woodland animals, known for the stripe that runs down their back. Famously timid, chipmunks will quickly scurry to the safety of their burrows if danger approaches. As a chipmunk, you eat mostly seeds and nuts, but you may sample bird eggs and insects from time to time.

You were almost a: Mouse or a Duckling
You are least like a: Turtle or a Bear CubCute Animals Test

Belated Birthday

Day 3 of my 29th year. I bet you wouldn't be surprised to hear I don't feel any different. I am optimistic, however, because my 28th year did not treat me so well. I am ready to start anew and be happy.

Thank you to all that wished me a Happy Birthday and to those of you who attended the 2 and 1/2 hour Red Lobster extravaganza :)

I had a great day and it makes me smile to know you are all in my life.

It's Talk Like A Pirate Day!

Ahoy - I almost forgot!!
http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html




My pirate name is:


Calico Jenny Kidd




Often indecisive, you can't even choose a favorite color. You're apt to follow wherever the wind blows you, just like Calico Jack Rackham, your namesake. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

Get your own pirate name from fidius.org.

Just because

Hello all. I really am only writing now because it has been awhile, but I really don't have anything to write about. It seems to have been a very boring week and I haven't even really had any deep thoughts lately. Aside from the flea attack at our house, I have been sitting at home either doing laundry or reading or watching football or sleeping or spending quality time with my puppy.

My birthday is tomorrow. I have to go to work and have meetings schedule until 7:00pm :( I am hoping that my manager will let me leave early and skip the meetings - that would be a very nice gift. Sarah is taking me to Red Lobster for dinner; I am very excited. I love RL and do not eat there very often and can't wait for the Ultimate Feast and Key Lime Pie - mmmm. Everyone is invited if you want to come - we'll be at the RL @ Hoover/10 Mile (I think) in Warren. Call me or Sarah if you want to join us and we'll confirm the time after I talk to my boss tomorrow morning. We may also go see Just Like Heaven after we eat.

On Friday we are going to Phil's wedding. It will be very strange because we haven't seen Phil in ages and we really haven't talked to him or even email. I think we made him feel obligated to invite us by drunk calling him and telling him he had too :)

The rest of my weekend is unknown. Possibly Tiki Saturday night, possibly a b-day party for another friend. Possibly Cedar Point on Sunday, possibly not.

Well, that's it for now. I'm off to surf the net because my boss is off today and I am bored.

Another Weekend

Friday was bar night. Sarah and I went to Teddy's and met up with one of her Panera friends. We had fun. Saturday was another MSU football day. We got to EL around 11:30. We listened to Michigan lose to Notre Dame and then watched our Spartans beat Hawaii. After the game we drove around looking for food as we were all starving. After eating, Sarah and I drove back home and went straight to bed because we were very sleepy. On Sunday I went shopping with my mom. I was excited because she bought me things. For my birthday I picked out a cool pair of shoes and a few tops from Express. My Sunday evening consisted of laundry, room cleaning and watching NFL football games.

On another note, those of you who are HP fans will be proud of me. I have picked up book 3 again and I'm actually reading it. I usually only get in one chapter a night because I stay up too late, but hey, one chapter at a time, right? And I have a list of other books I want to read so I need to take the next couple of weekends for relaxing and reading and enjoying the little bit of summer that we have left.

A Weekend of Friends

I was quite busy this past holiday weekend. It was full of friends and fun, see:

Thursday
My long weekend started when I got off work this day. I went home was lazy until we decided to go to the bar. That was a interesting decision since my ex was at the same bar. Talk about an enjoyable evening... I was glad when he and his new whatever left the bar and let me dance with my friends without having to see the car crash I call his new relationship.

Friday
Took Friday off to enjoy a nice long weekend. I tried to sleep in, but woke up early. But I then fell asleep on the couch for a couple more hours. Finally dragged my butt into the shower and then headed to the grocery store. Made goodies for the weekend (broccoli salad and pretzel-turtle candies). Went to hang out with friends; we played the Sex and the City trivia game and took silly quizzes online and drank some Boones Farm and ate chili cheese dip. It was a very fun evening.

Saturday
Woke up at 7am to drive to Lansing with Sarah (my roomie) for the first Michigan State football game this season. We arrived around 9:15 and tailgated with friends. We ate pancakes and killed annoying bees and drank. Anna drank a bit too much and left the game only minutes after it started (poor thing). MSU won 49 to 14 - yay. After the game we continued the tailgate by eating turkey/bacon wraps and veggies. Sarah and I got home around 7:30pm. I called our friend Beckie and after deliberation we decided to head to Novi to check out a bar called Tequila Rain. It was pretty cool but too crowded and the music was not consistent; however, I think I would give it a second chance. We met up there with Beckie's [boy]friend, Felipe and two of his friends from out of town. They had a bit too much to drink. After the bar we went to the hotel to ensure the drunks made it home safely. We then went to Dennys to get food. Then we went home. I spent the night with Beckie since she was house sitting and needed protection from the empty rooms upstairs :)

Sunday
I picked up Mike around 1:00 and we headed to the Renaissance Festival where we met Anna, Darcy, Danielle & Dave and Josh & Elaine. I had not been to the festival in many, many years so it was fun. The food was very yummy and the parking was free. We didn't see the jousting but Mike and I did see the Washing Wenches show, it was quite funny. We said hello to Tess who is working there this year. We left around 5:30. When I arrived home Sarah was making macaroni and cheese - the yummy, baked kind. I guess it was really good - I just now realized I never had any...! We then went to a housewarming party for Beckii and Mike. They have a very nice house. We played cards and watched other party-goers do keg stands. We got home around 1:30 and went to sleep.

Monday
I went shopping with my mom. I spent money that I don't have - I bought tennis shoes which I needed and a cute dress which I didn't. Then at my mom and dad's house I read a little bit and we ate Chicken Paprikás (a yummy, Hungarian Chicken and Dumpling dish - a family favorite). I went home and did some work while watching Friends on TBS.

That was my Labor Day Weekend 2005.

Gone

Kelly Clarkston > Breakaway > Track 5: Gone

What you see's not what you get
With you there's just no measurement
No way to tell what's real from what isn't there

Your eyes they sparkled
That's all changed into lies that drop like acid rain
You washed away the best of me
You don't care
You know you did it

I'm gone
To find someone to live for in this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You are wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone

Sometimes shattered
Never open
Nothing matters
When you're broken
That was me whenever I was with you

Always ending, always over
Back and forth, up and down, like a roller coaster
I am breaking that habit today
You know you did it

There is nothing you can say
Sorry doesn't cut it babe
Take the hit and walk away
Cause I'm gone

Doesn't matter what you do
It's what you did that's hurting you
All I needed was the truth
Now I'm gone

What you see's not what you get
