Twilight  

Monday, December 22, 2008

Ok.....so I'm obsessed. I tried so hard to resist the urge to jump on the bandwagon. But now, I can't seem to get off the bandwagon. I can't stop thinking about Twilight. I have seen the movie 5 times now. I'm almost finished with the 3rd book in the series. I check on Twilight blogs first thing in the morning, to make sure I am up to date on all the cast interviews, etc. It's beginning to make me feel kinda pathetic. But, then I think to myself, who cares? It's not like I am completely consumed with something that is harmful to me or others around me. Besides, of course, the fact that I would rather be a character in the Twilight series than being me in real life. Is that bad? :) Not only am I obsessed with Twilight, I am obsessed with Robert Pattinson. What a gifted person. Musically gifted, smart as all get out, wonderful actor, and absolutely beautiful. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, that ever-so-amazing accent. And, let me just clear up for anyone who thinks otherwise......although, the idea of Edward Cullen is mighty nice, it's not him I want.....it's Robert Pattinson. I'd almost rather he not be as perfect as Edward. I like the imperfect. Ok......maybe I can get back to work now that I have all that off my chest.

Flu Shot  

Thursday, November 6, 2008

So, is it just me, or does it seem like every year when people go get their flu shots, they, and everyone around them gets sick and miserable? I mean, I've done all the research, and watched all the reports that claim that it's not the flu shot that makes people sick, but I am just not convinced! And all these people being sick around me really darkens the mood. I mean, when will people learn? If someone is sick around you, don't use their phone. Don't touch anything they have had their hands on. Don't drink after them or have a nibble of their sandwich. Come on people! And stop coughing in my face. Didn't y'all's mamas teach y'all any manners?

Enough of the rant. This is best time of year, as far as I'm concerned. I just love all these holidays. Halloween is over.....good times. Thanksgiving is coming up, which means, I will be making my first ever trip to the stores on the day after Thanksgiving. Being broke makes you do some crazy things. So, standing in lines at 4:00 in the morning is the sacrifice I will have to make this year to get all my Christmas goodies. I'm kinda excited about it right now, but I have a feeling that I will be exhausted when that day is over.

That's all I have to say about that.

You know what sucks??  

Tuesday, September 23, 2008

Ok....I am all about my fall t.v. shows starting and being fresh and exciting, but......last night, I had Terminator from 8-9:00, then I was supposed to have Heroes from 9-10:00. Well, I had some other things that were keeping me busy, so I decided to tape them. I got Terminator just fine. Then I got Heroes just fine, or so I thought. The nerve of those people....they played TWO BRAND NEW EPISODES BACK TO BACK!!!!! So, I missed the second episode! Not that it wouldn't have been a totally fantastic night of television if only I had known! But, I didn't. So, I blame the network.....someone's gotta take the blame. How could they play 2 back to back new episodes and not make a huge deal about it beforehand? I mean...we all knew when the season premiere would be....just not that there would be 2 NEW EPISODES!! Ok....I feel a little better now. I guess I will just have to watch it on the internet.

Cool Product for Cats - Katwallks  

Tuesday, September 2, 2008

This is one of the coolest things I have seen for people who own cats. This is very high on my wish list. It almost makes me want to be a cat myself. Everyone who owns cats already knows how cats like to climb on things and love to be up high so they can see everything that's going on around them. Well, this gives them something to climb and perch on that is not your kitchen counters, or any other spot in your house that you would rather there not be fur. It's called Katwallks. Here is an example of how you could arrange them in your house.

You can also use one as a bridge from one side of a doorway to another. Really cool idea! Check out the website. There are videos on there that show the katwallks in use by real life kitties!

What a fiasco!  

Thursday, August 28, 2008

Let me just tell you about my day yesterday. I just started a new semester at school, and the disk that came with my textbook (which cost $100) was defective. Well, that's just GREAT! I have to exchange my book. So, thinking that the bookstore schedule on the internet is correct and they close at 6:00pm, I took my lunch break from work to drive all the way to the school. I get to the bookstore, book and receipt in hand, and the freakin' line is almost 40 kids long! I knew I couldn't even wait for a line of 10 people and make it back to work, so I just left. That was pretty much a whole hour wasted. I left work at 5:00, drove straight back to the school, got in line, which I was about the fourth person in line. This was going to be awesome. In and out! Then, out of nowhere, the power goes out. They throw all of us out of the bookstore. About 25-30 people and I were standing outside the bookstore in confusion. So, I'm just standing there, right next to the door, because I was not going to lose my good place in line. About 15 minutes go by, and the security guys come by and tell us that there is about a whole block without power and that it was going to take a long time for the electric company to fix it, but that the bookstore closes at 8:00pm (not 6:00pm like the internet said.) Just about everyone leaves. But, not me!! I decided to stick it out. There was no way I was leaving now! About 45 minutes go by. It's muggy and warm outside. So, getting kinda sticky, I just endured. Then, the lights come back on in the bookstore. I stand up and gather my things and get back to the door. One of the staff comes to the door, unlocks it, sticks her head out and says that it's going to take 45 minutes to 1 hour for their systems to come back up. You have got to be kidding me!! I looked at this one other person standing there with me, and said, "There is no way I'm going anywhere!" So, 25 minutes later, they unlock the door and tell us to come in. You cannot imagine how great that cool air felt in there. I exchanged my book, went home, ate supper, installed my software with no issues, and finally could take a deep breath. Whew! If that disk hadn't worked, I was going to scream. Now, I just have to learn how to use that damn software.

Sappy Movies  

Monday, August 25, 2008

Ok....you know how I was talking a couple of posts ago about how I really would rather not see those sappy chick flicks? Well, I caved and watched one this weekend that my best friend was just dying to see. And then it happened! Exactly the reason I don't watch those things. Not even 10 minutes into the movie, I was sobbing uncontrollably. I can't stand when that happens. I even walked out of the room to compose myself, but that didn't help one bit. I finally pulled myself together, made it through about 30 minutes of the movie without a tear, then here it comes again. Teary and snotty through the rest of the movie. I knew there was a reason that I fought so hard not to have to watch this one the first, second, third, fourth, etc. time that my friend brought it up in our many trips to Blockbuster. So, for all of you who just love to cry and have a runny nose for a couple of hours, then have puffy eyes and a sinus headache the next day, this movie is for you. It's called P.S. I Love You, starring Hillary Swank and Gerard Butler. Grab a kleenex.....or five!

Blue  

Thursday, August 21, 2008

I really like trying new restaurants. So last night, I went to Blue, in the Vista. http://www.bluecolumbia.net/ They serve tapas there and have an ice bar. Well, Wednesday nights are 80's night. There is a DJ playing this great music from the 80's and all house liquor drinks are only 80¢. The waitresses dress up in 80's garb too. It was a really fun time.

New to blogging!  

Wednesday, August 20, 2008

Let's get this blog party started. This will include info about my favorite things. I love cats, so if I find something really cool to share, I will post it. I also really love music. I keep up with the current trends, if you will. I mostly like to look for good music that no one's heard of yet. I like watching movies too. My movie tastes are constantly changing, but never will they include chick flicks. Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate the occasional girly movie, but if I had to choose between one of them, and some kinda action or suspense movie, I will definitely not choose the sappy one.

I'm also crafty! Not in a bad way though. I like to crochet. I really wanna get into other types of needlework, like knitting, but the coordination that knitting requires, I seem to be lacking. Anywho....things I love crocheting the most are little animals and other things that I can turn into lapel pins and magnets, and of course, afghans for babies.

So, that's a little bit about me and what I will be writing about. Who knows what might end up on this crazy random blog? It's gonna be great! Yippee!!
