What is wrong about loving someone

I am not one to watch people on tv talk about politics, but what Keith Olbermann said on his show about Prop 8 in California is so true. I have been saying for years "what is wrong with just loving somebody." Glad to see someone else has that same thought, now I just wish everyone else would open their hearts and minds too.

Do You Agree?

With the shit hitting the fan in the USA lately many people have come out with their solutions to the problem. I have to agree 110% with this one. If you have any brains at all you would agree too.

Bobo's Here I Come

Finally this weekend I get a break. CJ and I are going to Topeka to visit the in-laws and celebrate my 28th birthday with them. We are going to go to Bobo's Drive-Thru. It is a classic burger joint that was featured on one of my favorite Food Network Shows 'Diners Drive-Ins and Dives'. I have been wanting to go there since April when I first saw the show. It will be so good!

Still Frustrated

I haven't had the best week again and I was really looking forward to watching The Office tonight. It isn't on because of the stupid Vice Presidential Debates. I hate these, they are way to long and just self indulgent. I know that they are just going to go on and on the economy and the bail out. I do not want to hear anything more about that. I feel like people who are trying really hard to not have credit card debit (we have $0 that is right ZERO on credit cards) be bought a small old house that we can afford, and a car that we can afford. So why do I need to bail out companies and people who made poor financial mistakes? But I digress anyway the office wasn't on and I am bummed

Fall TV

Well the new season of all of my favorite shows has started, and a few of them have all taken on a new theme. THEY SUCK!! I will no longer watch Grey's Anatomy, well I shouldn't say no longer, how about I just won't DVR it anymore, and if I miss it then oh well. Another show I used to love is How I Met your Mother. It used to be one of my favorite shows, but guess what it is no longer funny nor quirky. I am thoroughly disappointed in the TV this fall. What I am I going to do at night time if there are no shows for me to watch. I tried watching Gossip Girl again this season, but it just is so painful to watch. I am giving 90210 a chance, but I feel like it is just a repeat of the original with different kids. So I am just upset. Any suggestions of a good new show to watch?

Dysons Rule Everything Else sucks a big one

God I just want to go to bed and sleep forever! I have been so tired and stressed the last few days. It all started when CJ found out that he has to wear a suit to his new job. That is fine, except for he only has one suit, and it has a hole in it. So on top of everything else we planned on doing this week, we had to go buy him clothes. I know I talked before about how I wanted CJ to get new clothes, but it is just easier for me to go and buy them and then make him wear them. He hates shopping and isn't very nice about the fact that we are out. We also could find anything that we liked, or if we liked it there was no pants that fit him, or jacket that fit him. Being tall and skinny isn't always a good thing when buying clothes. So to make a long rant short he has two nice suits now, and hopefully he will not need anymore. If he does God Help Me!!

We also decided this week to get our Dyson vaccum which I wasn't too excited about until I actually bought it yesterday. I have been wanting a Dyson forever, but the stress of trying to go buy it, and go shopping for clothes, and the grocery store, and eat dinner at some point, and watch The Office, and Grey's Anatomy all by 9:30pm when CJ leaves was very very overwheleming. I didn't even get home until 5:30 last night. BUT when we finally got home and CJ put together the Dyson and we used it, well the heavens opened and God smiled down on me. This Dyson is the coolest thing in the whole wide world. My carpet has had a very thick layer of dog hair on it from the day we moved into the house. I only vaccumed a 5ft section of the office and got so much hair up that I had to empty the canister. EWWWWWW, but so cool at the same time. I can't wait for everything to be clean at my house. It will be a glorious day!

I am off to Wichita tomorrow to get my bridesmaid dress made. We are leaving at 6am and hope to be home by midnight. Another long day is not what I need, but I will make it work.

Finally

CJ comes home tomorrow! He will only have been gone for two weeks, but god I missed him. So much happened while he was gone it was crazy. I turned 28, he got a new job, his brother left for Austria for four months. So much has happened in this past two weeks, I don't think I have ever had such a crazy two weeks. I am just relived that he will be home soon. He can change all the light bulbs that are burnt out that I can't reach, fix the table that I broke. Fix the garbage disposal that I also broke, and the drawer in our kitchen that you guest it....I broke. His honey-do list is super long, but I just want him home with me. I am going to pick him up at the airport late tomorrow night, this will be my third trip to the airport in two weeks and none of them were because I was going anywhere! I hope the day goes by fast.

I'm Lonely

CJ has been in Massachusetts for almost two weeks now. He is going to his five millionth army school. I miss him so much! I have been doing okay until tonight about being by myself. I had just made a nice dinner, and I was cutting into it and realized that I would be eating it all alone. I got extremely sad at that moment. I do not know what I will do when CJ gets deployed again, I just miss him too much. Looking back now I do not know how I manged to be by myself when he was deployed the first time. I could never be single and living by myself, because I get so lonely. Even the dogs are not keeping me company this time. It is only three more days until he is home but I want him home NOW!!!

CLOTHES CLOTHES CLOTHES

My mother and I did our bi-annual shopping trip for my birthday last Sunday. The next trip will be for her birthday in April. I better start saving now!! I got two pairs of jeans, some underwear, four shirts, a sweater, dress, just about everything on my list for the last six months. There of course is always room for more. I only do these major shopping trips a couple of times a year and I always think my wardrobe is complete, but then I ALWAYS think of other stuff I have to have. I am a clothes horse, I like variety in my closet, I also get tired very easily of what I do have. It is all because my parents wouldn't buy me clothes when I was little. I am sure I am not totally remembering correctly but I only had a few shirts, and a couple of pairs of pants. It totally scarred me, so now I over compensate. Now I just need to find some nice shells to wear under cardigans and a few sweaters that I have. Oh and I need a pair of black shoes to wear in winter that have a slight heal so I don't walk on my pants, and nice brown sandals for summer. I think I could make a list of thirty more things that I want to get for my closet. It is a sickness I tell you! Now if I just could get CJ to agree to buy HIM new clothes....hmmmm

Oh my what a week

I can't believe I made it through in one piece. This has been the most stressful week I have had in a very long time. Lauren's baby shower is over, and I have to say it was just wonderful. Everyone was so nice, and friendly, helpful, and happy for Lauren. I really think everyone mingled nicely, and the party games were a hit. I also got to catch up with a very good friend from college Meghan. She told us today that she is pregnant with her four child....yes that is right her FOURTH child. I am so happy for her, she and her husband are the best parents and their children are beautiful. CJ's mom came up for the shower, and she was the biggest help. Even though it was a long day it was very nice,but I am so so happy it is over.

CJ left for his army school this morning very early. I hate that he leaves me, but I know that it is something that he has to do. It does make me appreciate when he is around though. I haven't been able to make very much time for him the last few weeks, which has been very hard. I feel very guilty, because the time that we did get to spend together I was very stressed and distracted, and not the nicest person to be around. I guess it is true that you are the rudest to the ones you love, and I hate that I was that way to him. He is never like that to me, but then again we deal with stress very differently. I explode, he internalizes....very different styles but we work well together I guess. Anyway he left for his school, and I miss him. He is in Massachuettes for two weeks, and right now he is dealing with hurricane Hana. I am of course very worried, so much so that I told him to go to the bathroom and steal toilet paper so that if he is trapped in his building that he at least has some that no one else can use. That is what I would do if I was stuck somewhere like that. Anyway, I just want these two weeks to go by fast. I miss him so much and need him home with me. Plus I have to mow the lawn while he is gone, and I HATE doing it.

Tommorow I am going to go shopping for clothes the first time in a long long time. I am very excited. My mom and I are going, and that means she will buy me some stuff. I need to get to sleep soon so that I am refreshed for the day.

Double Feature

Cj and I went to the drive-in last night to see Tropic Thunder and Step Brothers. We had the best time. I love spending time with Cj. I can honestly say that there is no one else that I would want to spend so much time with. He is just so awesome, fun, sweet and caring. I just love him so much.

Well both movies were so great. Step Brothers was my favorite, but Tropic Thunder was really good too. Tom Cruise was the best part of Tropic Thunder, he was totally making fun of himself and hollywood. It was Great. Later I am going to post my favorite lines from the movies, and beleive me there are a ton.

OH MY GOD

I think that most people if they had a choice to meet a celebrity they would chose someone like Brad Pitt, or Jessica Alba. Someone they think is very attractive, or just a very talented actor. Well if I could meet anyone it would be my idol Ina Garten aka The Barefoot Contessa. She is a chef on the food network, a cookbook author, and a very classy lady. I have always said that I wanted to meet her. Well she is coming to KC in October!!!!!!! I am totally freaking out, I can't even contain my excitement. She is coming out with another cookbook, so it is a book signing. I am going, I have too. I will have to ask off from my nanny job, but I think that it will be okay. God I hope so, because I will find a way to go. I will have to go by myself, but I am willing to do that just so I can get her to sign my book, and so I can ask her a question. I want to know why one season the back splash in her kitchen went from the beautiful green painted stripes to a solid white back splash, and then the next season back to the stripes. I am sure it is a simple answer but I just want to know. I AM SO SO SO HAPPY, I DON'T THINK I WILL BE ABLE TO SLEEP NOW!!!!!! I am going into high pitched squeal mode right now!!!!!

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO YOUR DOG!!

Weird, but oddly cute at the same time

Random but Disturbing Fact

I guess someone my husband works with told him that pigs can have orgasms that last upward of 30 minutes. CJ looked it up on the internet, but couldn't find out if that was true are not. I was really grossed out about this bit of trivia, but I just had to post what he said about it at the end.

"I never found out if it was true or not, but I didn't want to spend a lot of time looking up "Pig Orgasams" at work!

Obama/Biden

Well Barack FINALLY picked his VP. I did not know very much about Joe Biden before, but he seems like he is a good guy. I really like him because he votes very liberally. He is currently in his sixth term as a Congressman from Delaware. If you have been in office that long, it must mean that your state likes you. He seems like a family man, but I can't judge someone on that anymore,John Edwards ruined that for me. So I am happy and hope and pray that He and Obama will be elected to office. God knows this country needs it.

"I'm asking you to believe. Not just in my ability to bring change in Washington....I'm asking you to believe in yours."

Barack Obama

Motivation

I need to clean my house. I did a major cleaning last week, but is already needs it again. The weird thing is that when outside is overcast and gloomy I am like a mad women inside of my house. Most people want to curl up with a book, or watch a movie. I clean, and organize. Oh well

Birthday Time is almost upon me

So my birthday is about two weeks away, and while most people are very excited about their birthday I am not. I LOVE getting presents, and my mom and I always spend the day together which is so nice. I do not however like getting a year older. People think I am crazy but turning 28 is just so hard for me. It all started when I turned 25. I just think every years sounds so OLD, not for anyone else, but just for me. Even just writing about becoming 28 is giving me the cold sweats and I am getting teary eyed. This just means 30 is that much closer. I know one of the reasons I don't like getting older, but it can't be the only reason. Every year that I get older the void in my life seems to get bigger and bigger. I am so happy with CJ, I love him so much, but I just want that one thing that just won't come to us easily. I know that if it came down to it, that just being the two of us in our little family would be ok, but I really don't want that to happen. So I think that is one of the main reasons that getting older is hard for me. I have said that for years that when I turn 30 that I just want to be left alone to cry in a dark room. Well now I am staring to rethink that, maybe we should try to go on a vacation then. I could have something to look forward too, that would take my mind off of being 30. In fact I think that is a fabulous idea!!

The Hills

Last night The Hill started it's fourth season on MTV. I love love love this show. I know that people think that I am to old to be watching it, but I don't care. I was so excited, but then MTV really pissed me off. The show is only 30 minutes long. It started late at 9:01 because they were doing this weird premiere party in Malibu full of uncomfortable interviews and recaps of the past three seasons. So with it starting late I was getting anxious. So it started and then after five minutes including the minute intro it went to commercial, no big deal right? WRONG!!!!! The show didn't come back until 9:17!! Well over 11 minutes of stupid commercials. I mean come on I was livid. I just wanted to watch the show. After another five minutes it went to another commercial break. This one only last five minutes. The show was on for another two minutes and then it was over. So basically the 30 minute show was wittled down to 12 minutes. Can you believe that? I am angry, but what can I do about it.

I have often wondered?

First Week Down

I am about to start my second full week of being a nanny. I have to say that I was very leary of changing jobs. I have heard horror stories about nannies being miserable because the family they work for is so awful. Happily I do not have that issue. My family is wonderful!! They have two great kids, who I have so much fun with. We have a established routine that works really nicely, and that has a lot of flexibility. The two of them get along very nicely, and I do not have a hard time occupying both of their time. The four year old boy is the best. He is SUPER SUPER smart, like beyond his years smart. He loves to play games, to art, be creative. He just hates going outside, which his parents want him to do everyday. He goes to half day preschool he rides the bus and looks so cute getting on the bus everyday. His sister is almost two, she is this teeny tiny little thing that has an attitude of a teenager. I love her though, she throws these HUGE fits thinking that I will care. I think she is starting to understand that throwing tantrums isn't going to get her anywhere. Mom and Dad are very nice, and I already feel very comfortable with them. I know I can tell them anything about our day and they will listen and be happy with what went on. They are very giving and all about communication. I am very happy with my new job.

Well you used to be my favorite, now you make me sick

Well John Edwards you have made my shit list. How could you be so hurtful as to cheat on your wife. Not only cheat but to cheat when your wife has cancer. You make me sick. To think I would have voted for you as president. Now I don't have single nice thing to say about you. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Man I wish he would read my blog

Even More Flair!!

Not so nice dinner

Cj and I went out for a nice dinner tonight to Jose Peppers. The food was great and so was the company but the service was HORRIBLE. We were sat right next to the hostess stand where they have a digital clock. I looked and we were sat down at 6:11, at 6:28 no one had even come up to our table yet. Finally at 6:31 a hostess came and took our drink, appatizer, and dinner order. Ten minutes later our drinks and chips and salsa came out. Of course then almost immediatley our espinacha dip and dinner came out. Please note that we still hadn't seen our waitress. We ate and drank quickley because we still had other things to do tonight. Well guess who showed up to give us our bill....our waitress. Just plopped in on the table, didn't ask how our meals were, or if we needed a box, nothing, just "pay me when your ready!". Well I can say that she did not get a tip. We hate doing that, but there is no way in hell that she deserved one. Anyway besides the horrible service it was very nice hanging out with the hubby.

More Flair

Here are some more

facebook flair

I love Facebook, I can get lost for hours looking at the bumper stickers and the flair. Here are some of my favorites....more to come

John Mayer

I think John Mayer is a really great music artist. I love all his albums and how he plays the guitar. I saw him in concert once with Counting Crows, but would LOVE to see him again. Especially since his last album came out. His version of Free Fallin is so good.

New Job

I finally did it. After months of looking I have found a new job!! I will be a nanny for a very nice family in Kansas City Kansas. They have two kids 4 and 2. I will be working from 7-4, my pay is much much better. I also will only have to deal with one set of parents instead of 100 and other teachers, and my favorite administration. I really like the parents because they are all about communication. I have a meeting with them on tuesday to sign my contract and I am think of things to go over with them. I know it will go well.

People are crazy

I saw this headline on yahoo today about Talula does the Hula. Well some idiots named their poor child that and now a judge made her a ward of the state so that he could change her name. This poor little nine year old girl was so embarrassed about her name that she never told anyone what it was and just went by "k" instead. People sometimes make me so sick. Bringing a child into this world should be one of the greatest things in the world, and they ruin it from the get go by naming their child something crazy.

Here is a list of the other weird names from the article:

Fish and Chips
Yeah Detroit
Keenan Got Lucy
Sex Fruit
Number 16 Bus Shelter
Violence

I have also heard of people naming their children things like Cash Money, or Baby Girl, ESPN

And my favorite born in Topeka, KS

Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K

Pork and Beans

This my first attempt to add a video to my blog and I obviously did it successfully. What a video to start with, this is awesome.

Catching up with Friends

My best friend in the whole world was in town today, and I got to see her for a few short hours. Lauren moved to Omaha last year, and I have missed her terribly. She is having her first baby in November and I am throwing her a shower. We mostly talked about how things are going in our life, it is so nice just to be that comfortable with someone. We pick up every time like there has been no time since we have seen each other. I am very excited to have your shower, and my mother is nice enough and loves Lauren just as much as I do, to let us have the shower at her house. The visit was short, but not short of good laughs and memories with a great friend.

Busy Saturday

We rarely have things to do on the weekends because they cost money and we have none. Today however we did a bunch of stuff. I went to visit a new chiropractor today. She was wonderful! Her name is Chantal Braasch, and she did a great job. As I mentioned before I have been having back problems for years. My past chiropractor experience has been with a male doctor who was all about physical adjustments (cracking and popping different areas of the body) then all of a sudden he decided that he also wanted to be holistic. Don't get me wrong holistic medicine works for some people, but I am not one of those. Every time I went in he was trying to get me to buy this really expensive pills and the one time he suckered me into doing it, it made me so sick that I tried to return the opened bottle of pills. He said that he wouldn't take them back because if I took the pills from these other TWO bottles everything would be back in balance. BULLSHIT. He also wanted me to come in like three times a week. That cost added up very fast, and while I had relief the day of my adjustment the pain and discomfort seemed to come back very rapidly. So anyway I got Dr. Braasch number from my friend Becky and I am so happy. With my other doctor I was in and out in five minutes. With Dr. Braasch I was there for over and hour and a half!! Granted it was my first visit and she had to take a medical history, but she still took a loooooong time to adjust me. She did pressure points, massage, and adjustment. I am very sore now, but it is a great sore. I can move and I am very happy. I will go back again very soon.

CJ and I then went to the pool at my work. It was hot, and fun. We only stayed for about 45 minutes because we had other stuff to do. The other stuff was going to buy CJ new running shoes. He never wants anything new, so I was happy to go look. Silly me thought that we would be going to all these different place to look, and that I could just look around too. We went to Kohl's and were done in 10 minutes :(. I would have stayed at the pool longer if I had know that the trip would have been so short. We then went to the grocery store, bought five things and spent $20, groceries are so expensive now. I made a good Mexican dinner and then cleaned up the house for Lauren's visit tomorrow and my mom's visit on Monday night. Very nice Saturday overall.

Gary Lezak meets Mother Nature going commando

Today at work we had two guest speakers. It is hard enough for little kids to sit through one speaker, but we had TWO. First Gary Lezak for the NBC station came to talk to the kids about weather. It was much better than I remembered from a few years ago. Before he was so sweaty, and talked to fast and technical that he lost the kids within three minutes. This year he was more engaging, and he brought his dog Windy to do tricks. The kids seemed to like him and I saw everyone on the news tonight at 5 and 6. Then two hours later all of the pre-k classes went to watch "Mother Nature" She comes every year to the center, and tells stories with puppets. I think she sucks big time but the kids were laughing. The problem is she is like 85 years old and is trying to be hip with stories about recycling and being a good friend but I think most of the time she forgets the story line, and is making stuff up as she goes along. It really shows, crazy old kook. We were then supposed to have swimming but it was raining, and so we played in the room and had a long nap time. We had to wake the kids up early for Shabbat and a birthday party. By the end of the day I was so tired, but I get worn out even when we don't do anything. I love it though, they make me laugh everyday.

I had a little girl today who had a small accident in her underwear. No big deal it happens all the time. Well when it was time to change from her bathing suit into her clothes she complained that she had no clean underwear. I couldn't find anything for her in her cubbie but a pair of shorts. She was wearing a dress so I told her she would have to go commando under her dress or wear the shorts underneath. She of course chose the shorts but about a minute later was wailing and carrying on. When Jo my teaching partner went to comfort her all we could hear her crying was "I DON'T WANT TO GO COMMANDO." I laughed so hard. She later got over it, and was fine the rest of the day. Kids can be so funny, and sweet when they want to be. It was a long day, but totally worthwhile.

Ouch!!

I hurt my back today. I have been having back problems for a few years, but in the last few months my lower back has been hurting pretty badly. Well today I reinjured my back by trying to pick up a sleeping five year old, I know STUPID. Now I am in desperate search for a new chiropractor to help me. The Dr. I use used to be great, until he started to sell herbal remedies in his office. Now he tries to get you to buy this horrible tasting herbal pills that are supposed to help heal you. Well the only time I fell for that I had the shits and he wouldn't give me my money back. He also would never give me a treatment plan, but would just say after each adjustment "Your getting there, but just not quite yet." Well four weeks of that I had had enough. I have not gone back in two months and now I am regretting it big time. We do have some pain meds from when CJ has surgery a few months back that I am taking to self medicate. It is totally not safe, but it is either take the pain meds or not be able to move. I am choosing to move. Anyway the lesson I learned today is......if your a kid doesn't want to wake up from nap DON'T PICK THEM UP, let someone else do it.

Quote

I am tired tonight from drinks with co-workers but I found this awesome quote in my Real Simple Magazine.

"I love Living. I have some problems with my life, but living is the best thing they've come up with so far."
Neil Simon

Totally sums up how I feel everyday!!

Semi Sick....Sick Pups

I came home from work sick today. I hate doing that, I always feel like my boss and coworkers think I am faking. I wasn't today, but felt OK by this afternoon. I really think it was because I was so hungry all weekend that I over compensated Sunday night when we ordered Papa Murphy's. My tummy just couldn't take it. Oh well, everything is fine now.

Because I was feeling better CJ suggested we go for a short walk this afternoon. I jumped at the chance to get out of the house and get our dogs the much needed walk we talk about so much. It started out OK, but I remember commenting about three streets away from our house how hot it was. Well the walk went on much longer than planned, and by the end our little pug Madison would not walk anymore. Pugs do not fair well in hot weather, the vet warns us about that every time we go in. Of course we walked her for too long and it was too hot outside. We were probably a 1/4 mile from our house and I had to start carrying her. It was so scary, she was whining and panting at the same time. I flipped her over and was carrying her like a baby and she put her very hot and wet paw around my neck. I really started to panic then, she really looked and sounded like she was in trouble. CJ hurried as fast as he could with our other exhausted dog Taylor back to the house. When we finally got inside Madi wouldn't drink and she was having a hard time standing up. CJ finally decided to put her in the tub. She actually laid down in the water to cool herself off. I was crying and laughing at the same time. I was scared, but good lord she looked so stinkin cute laying in a bathtub full of water. She stayed in there for probably ten minutes and she seemed OK for the rest of the night. We laid both dogs in front of a fan after their dinner and that seemed to help. Pretty scary but everyone is fine now.

Wichita

This weekend I headed down to Wichita with my parents to get things organized for my brothers wedding. I got to meet Melissa's family for the first time. They were all so nice and welcoming. Melissa's mother is making all of the bridesmaid dresses and the candle lighter dresses. From what I hear she is very talented and super quick so I look forward to being able to see what she can do.

This weekend was full of firsts for me. I tried salmon for the first time and loved it. Bart, Melissa's father grilled in on his gas grill. I was super duper worried all day when I found out that is what we were having. I am not a fish eater, I also never try new foods. Well I didn't want to be rude so I took a teeny tiny piece of fish. I then mixed it with my heavily seasoned rice and broccoli and took the smallest bite possible. I was pleasantly surprised, enough to take another small piece and eat that as well. For my first time I think eating half a piece of salmon was an accomplishment. I also tried biscuits and gravy for the first time. I also liked that, but know that I could never order it out at a restaurant, and I won't make it for myself. It was good, but I just dipped a piece of biscuit in the gravy and didn't put it on top of my biscuits. I tried rhubarb and didn't like it , but I tried it.

I also drank beer for the first time in a movie theatre. I went to watch Hancock with Toby and Missy and they had a full service bar and restaurant there. All you had to do was push a button and a server would bring you whatever you wanted, very fun. All in all it was a good weekend but I am very tired and plan to go to bed very soon.


*Just a quick side note to show how messed up my brain really is, looking back at what I just typed the word restaurant is underlined twice because I of course misspelled it. BUT I spelled the word rhubarb right the first time! Go Figure!!!

Going Places

I don't get out much, but today I am heading to Wichita to do some wedding stuff with my family and Missy's family. This is the only time that she will have to come home before the wedding so the weekend in action packed. I don't know how they do it with planning a wedding when neither one live in the city that they are getting married in. Missy doesn't even live in the state!! I am looking forward to meeting her parents and family. It should be a great but busy weekend.

Not much going on

I have been told by CJ that I have to do this quick cause it is bedtime. So nothing really happened today. I packed for my trip to Wichita this weekend. I am proud of myself because I usually pack way to much but this time I only have one extra shirt. I tend to spill, and have clothing fits when I don't have many options. That is all for now. I know BORRRRING.

Anniversary Dinner

CJ and I just got back from our four year anniversary dinner. It was a very low key affair, we had Italian at Bravo in Town Center. The food was great and so was the weather. We got to sit outside and it was perfectly comfortable temperature wise. The chairs we sat on however were horrible. They were these wrought iron wicker things that were so narrow that even CJ's skinny butt was hanging off the sides. We then went to Cold Stone Creamery for ice cream. That was very good, I had never been there before and can't wait to go back. Now I am going to go to bed

Dimitri Martin

While I was super bored this weekend I ended up watching Comedy Central for a little bit and ran across a special buy one of my favorite comics Dimitri Martin. I love his deadpan dry sense of humor. He does this silly songs, and plays which I don't think are that funny, but when he is just doing regular stand-up he is really good. Oh he also does drawings and graphs on a big sketch pad. Below are a few samples of stuff that I love of his. I wish I could take credit for thinking of this, but alas I am not that funny.

"I was in a shoe store and the guys call me boss, and I said, “Ya, can i just get those sneakers in a 10?” And uh, he said, “Okay” and then he went down stairs. He came back and he said, “I don’t have a 10, I have a 9.” “Oh great, because while you were downstairs, my toes were severed off. So that works out. Normally it would be stupid for you to tell me a number different than the one I said, ’cause it goes with my body part. But given my very recent accident, you’re right on. I’ll take the 9’s and a pile of band-aids, thank you. You’re re-hired ’cause you’re a genius."

"My friend had a burrito. The next day he said, “That burrito did not agree with me.” I was like, “Was the disagreement over whether or not you’d have diarrhea? Let me guess who won.” “I tried to reason with it, I insisted, you know. I was like, ‘I wanna go outside, I like these pants, but the burrito had his way.’”

Oh what a day

Sometimes children can be so horrible. I really feel I need a very stiff drink after today. It all started with both Jo my summer teaching partner and I showed up to work tired and grumpy. Well that seemed to be the theme for all the children, plus their ears all seemed to be broken. Nothing that came out of my mouth, or Jo's was listened to in the slightest. I got to point where I would just all the kids name over and over again and count how many time I did before they came. The record was 12, can you imagine saying someones name 12 times and they not even looking up to see who is saying their name. So Frustrating. I hate to always yell, but that seems to be the only way for me to get my point across or to get their attention. I do have a naturally louder tone to my voice so yelling is the next step-up. It is getting to the point that I have started saying "no more chance" and "I am taking free swim away" at least six times a day. This is not how I want to spend the day.

I also have this 14 year old LIT (Leader In Training) in my room just one day a week, and I loath the day he comes in. Austin means well, but good god he is so annoying. He gets all the kids worked up, tries to talk over me when I am giving instructions, and worst yet thinks that I am also 14 so that I want him to constantly put his arm around me when we are talking. I actually had to tell him today not to touch me because I am married, and then I kicked him in the stomach. Not hard, but just kind of a tae-boesk get the hell away from me you freaking psycho kick. I still don't think he gets it. I guess Thursday is his last day with us and I can't wait.

Tomorrow is my 4th anniversary with my wonderful husband and I am so looking forward to it. We haven't decided if we will go out to eat yet, but either way there will be presents involved. I love giving present just as much as receiving them. It will be fun.

To bored to stay home, to tired to go to Work

I woke up super tired today, that is the usual for me on a Monday morning. When the alarm went off this morning I actually said to myself I just need one more day to be able to sleep. I say this to myself all the time, but the funny thing is I had all the time in the world to sleep this weekend, but instead I was SO BORED. All weekend long I just could not find something that I wanted to do, or watch, or eat, or drink. Nothing, I just was in one of those moods where nothing sounded good. So why did I wake up so tired this morning?

I think I have figured it out after all these years of setting the alarm clock in the morning. If I can wake up naturally I am fine, but if the alarm clock wakes me up no matter what time it is I am tired. I would love to find a job that paid great, but I could set my own hours that way I can get up whenever I feel like it naturally. That job however does not exist. That is it for now. I will post more later.

My First Day of This

Well this is going to be an adventure! I decided to start this blog to help me to be more proactive with my sanity. I have this great life, but for some reason I always feel like there could be more to it. Hopefully this blog will help me to realize that my life is super cool and that there isn't anything really missing, and if later I decide that there is something missing maybe me writing out my feelings and thoughts in a organized manner will help me to realize what I want. I don't plan on telling anybody about this quite yet, just to see if I can keep it up. I am making a promise to myself that I need to blog everyday. I hope in the days to come I can figure out how to get pictures and fun things on here, and it is not just me typing away.

I titled my blog "The Most Randomest Girl Ever" for quite a few reasons
1. I have been told my MANY people that I am completly random. I sometimes (ok all the time)have these thoughts, ideas, stories that come out of nowhere. They can have nothing to do with what was just going on, but I just have to blurt out what is floating around in my mind.
2. I know it is horrible english the way I worded the title, but that is just because ever though I am a very smart person I can not spell worth a darn. I also have very poor english when writing, and have to read through everything I write at least a couple of times so that I don't seem like an uneducated fool.
3. It sounds funny, and I love being funny

So that is all for now, more to come in the future.

Oh I just found out there is a spell check on this. I am so excited.
