Where art thou?

For those who know me well, know that I love my animals and I love my Bibi. It's almost scary how obsessed I am with him. Bibi sleeps right beside me every night. In fact, sometimes I feel like that scene in Uncle Buck with all of the kids in the bed with him. Just a corner of the sheet. Anyway, Friday night, Bibi ran out the front door. He has yet to return.

I am a very "Ignorance is Bliss" type person. If I don't talk about it, it doesn't happen. If I don't think about it, it doesn't happen. Sometimes that's a good attitude, sometimes it isn't. I just know that in this case, it's best for my sanity. If I really thought about him not being here, I would be in tears. I'm already not sleeping well because of it, but I'm blaming it on other things. Yesterday, I drove around the complex looking for him. I think in a few hours, when it's cooled off, I'm going to go on a walk & look for him. Until then, I'll see what's on television.

Eeeeeeeeeeee!!!

I am so super excited. On October 27th, I'm going to see something I always wanted to see. Ever since I was 14, I dreamed for this day to come. The tickets have officially been purchased!! I can't wait to see these guys live!!! I want a poster for my bedroom, although Chris will hate it. Oh my gosh, I am SUCH A NERD!!!



I need this song on my Ipod!! Why don't I have it yet? Oh that's right, one of our drives on our computer is jacked up. WHO CARES?? I NEED IT!! I am just dying right now. My husband is dying too, but in a different way. I think he is way over it and it's 4 months away. Oh I can't wait. I HEART DONNIE!!!

What a tool!!

Happy June!! This is my favorite month because it's my birthday month. WOO HOO!!!

Yesterday, I was in the kitchen at work. Being the pop culture lover that I am, I overheard 2 attorneys discussion. Granted, these attorneys are in their mid 20's. I wanted to scream by the time it was over. I was glad my friends came in and rescued me. Here was the discussion. I'll start where I walked in:

Attorney J: "You know, that guy from 'Who's The Boss'?"
Attorney W: "Oh yeah uh....Scott Baio"
J: "No, that was Tony Danza"
W: "Who is....oh yeah ok. That was the show with uh..."
J: "Alyssa Milano"
W: "Oh yeah. Mmmm, she's hot. Who's Scott Baio?"
J: "He was on Charles in Charge"
W: "Hmm, I don't remember that show"
J: "It was the show about the college kid that was like the house keeper & helped with the kids"
W: "How old were the kids?"
J: "I don't know but one was Nicole Eggert. Remember her?"
W: "Oh yeah! Mmmm, she's hot."
J: "Yeah"
W: "So what did the parents do? Why did they need a house keeper/nanny"


At this point, I said to myself that these guys are a bunch of tools and I quit listening. I wanted to yell out "It's just a TV show, not real people" but I didn't. I just ate my salad & wondered how I could stab the plastic knife into my eye.

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.
