Good times, noodle salad

So things have been crazy. I have been sick the past few days. Let's back up to Memorial Day weekend. Being that my husband is a vet, I feel it is ok to say this. He kept calling it "Mam-orial Day" the whole weekend & pointing to the mammary glands. I love my husband.

We looked at furniture and I even tried some on. By that, I mean I layed down on couches/chairs/loveseats/beds, etc. I even had a woman compliment me that I looked good on a particular item. Which made me laugh because I didn't really know how to take it. That's how I watch television, so why not lay down? Anyway, we really didn't do much.

However, my obsession with Hollywood finally paid off, I guess. Saturday, we went to a Braves game. On the jumbo tron, they showed Kirstie Alley. Oh yes, she was there. It was my goal to find her. We brought some binoculars and guess what - I found her. I watched her every move. Chris laughed at me the whole time. I watched her NOT participate in the wave. I watched her eat a hot dog. I watched her drink a Diet Coke. I watched her mess with her hair. I watched her not watching the game. I have problems. I know it. Isn't the first step admitting you have a problem? I just did. Anyway, I took some pictures with my camera but it just looks like some woman with blonde hair. I know it was her and that's all that matters. Chris had a blast watching the Braves and I had a blast playing "Paparazzi" for the day.

I'm off to see Sex and the City tonight. I'm super excited because I love the fashion in this movie. Oh if I had money, I would have a closet just for shoes. Like this:

Later.

Update my blog

Two in one day - get over it. I say that a lot. Anyway, one of Chris' friends told him, while they were on the phone "Hey, I gotta go update my blog." It puzzled me because I was thinking "he has a blog?" Turns out that is a new term for "I have to go to the bathroom." I thought it was hilarious!!! I'm going to start using it, only I hope I don't mess it up like the first time I heard/used the phrase "tool". I thought it was toolbox. One day, I was around some co-workers and said "Oh my gosh, he is such a toolbox" and they erupted with laughter. I didn't know.

Turns out I was a tool.

Where have I been?

I have been here, there & everywhere. We were looking at moving, now we aren't. I think. Other personal things have been going on and I have been in a funk. I'm trying to get back on the "writing" train. (sigh)

I had a discussion with some people the other day about gifts. Giving and receiving them. Here is my personal take on it: I love to get cash. I'll even take gift cards. I do not think it is a non-heartfelt (is that even a word) idea. Why? Well, my absolute favorite thing to do is shop. I love the art of shopping. Is it really an art? I would much much much rather get cash from somebody than a gift I don't like. I got something from a relative once and it is sitting in my closet collecting dust. Why? Well, because I didn't like it and I don't have the heart to throw it away. I really do appreciate the fact that this relative thought about me. That in itself is sweet. But I feel like that person said "I don't know what to get you, so I'll get you what I think you'll want". My parents learned a long time ago to give me cash or gift cards so I can pick it out myself. Even if it's something simple like earrings.

Where am I going with this? Well, I'm glad you asked. Since my birthday is around the corner (JUNE 25th) I am going to have a very detailed list of items ready - just in case you are that person that thinks giving cash isn't thoughtful. Again, if you know me, I appreciate cash. I appreciate it way better than some figurine that I have put in a corner of my closet. You could put a card in the mail & I would be ok with that too. Just make sure it's something I told you that I want.

On another note, I am bummed because The Office is now over for the summer. Didn't the writers strike just end? I don't know. Yes, I realize that in my last post, I showed a clip from The Office. Get over it. It was a very funny episode; however, I'm hoping over the summer that Jim is able to propose to Pam. More important, I LOVE how Michael's hate for Toby was able to consume most of the episode. In order for me to show the clip from the season finale, you need a little glimpse of Michael displaying his hate for Toby:



Now, here is the clip from the finale. Be on the lookout for Neal...err. Dwight jamming out. I think it's my favorite part:

By the way, Michael loves to re-make songs. Two of his songs are "Beers in Heaven" and "Total Eclipse of the Fart". Oh, I would love to hear them.

Dwight Rules!!

I am alive. I have been busy and at the same time in a funk. Dealing with some personal things that I'm not going to put on the internet. However, these Neal...err I mean Dwight moments from last weeks episode of The Office really cheered me up. Leave it to The Office to put me in a much better mood and realize that live isn't so bad.
