Randomness

I hope everyone had a nice weekend! Mine was pretty good. I did some cleaning, went out and bought a new mattress (my neck pain has been out of control. owie.) and yesterday we all went to my mom's BF's house for a cookout and swimming in his indoor pool. I was exhausted at the end of the day. Swimming sure is a workout!

I'm going to a concert on Thursday and I'm very excited. I wasn't sure if I'd be going because Tracy didn't know if she'd be able to make it and I really didn't want to go by myself. It's one of my favorite bands, Breaking Benjamin, and Three Days Grace are also playing. Soooo excited. I just hope it's not too hot. There's nothing worse than being at a crowded concert surrounded by a bunch of sweaty bodies. *gag*

I'm wearing my favorite scented lotion today, Bath&Body Works Eucalyptus Spearmint, and I can't stop sniffing my arm. :)

I'm really hungry. I brought a Lean Cuisine Macaroni and Barf Beef for lunch and it sounds totally disgusting. *sigh*

Hilarious Reviews, Loser Bingo and Devil Pics

I mentioned this over on OT, but for anyone that didn't see it, I have a new favorite website. The Impulsive Buy is a website (blog, actually) that reviews new and interesting products. What makes this blog so special is that the guy who writes it is absolutely hilarious. I mean, I seriously could not stop myself from LOL'ing at work today. What makes this even more funny is that I found his blog because I was searching for info on the Veet Rasera Hair Removal System. This guy actually tested it out, removing the hair from one entire leg! LMAO. I love him.
For a taste test of his humor, I submit to you the line that almost made me spit my Smirnoff Ice Wild Grape all over my laptop. And I'm not talking the fake liquid spit that is often bandied about on the internet. I honestly had to turn my head to keep from doing a spit take on my laptop.
The first line of his review for Nesquik Cookies 'n Milk Milkshake:
Just like Bert and Ernie, cookies and milk are two things that are synonymous with the action of dipping one into the other.

Seriously. I love this guy. :)

Edit-- I wrote this post immediately after reading that line without even bothering to read the rest of his review. Now that I've read the whole thing, I must encourage you to read it. I laughed heartily several times. Did I mention I love this guy?
Click me if you want to laugh!
(Bonus Star Jones mention just for Carey!)

In other "Yeah, I'm a dork, what of it?" news, I was sucked not only into watching National Bingo Night, but actually participating, too. Here I sat, intently watching for the numbers to be called so I could check off each of my 6 bingo cards. I didn't win jack shit. Not even one of the "thousands of $5 KMart gift cards." Pffft. I have really bad luck. But at least the guy who hosts the show was hot, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

And finally, I present a couple of Tate pics, since MM has asked about him recently. Oh yeah, and I'm in them, too. Just ignore the fact that my eyes make me look possessed. It's the curse of having abnormally large pupils. I always have red eye.

This is Tate's smile when you tell him to smile for a pic. No, he's not constipated. He just tries way too hard.


This is Tate's smile when Aunt Jen tickles him right before the pic is taken. Absolutely perfect. :)


PS- These pics are from Christmas. That punch in the background? was so absolutely delicious. Probably the best thing I've ever made. Who knew sherbert, pineapple juice and ginger ale was beverage of the gods? *grin*

Drunken Blog Game

Just got off the phone with Carey and Kim. Holy margaritas. And it's only 2:30 there. LMAO!

So, Glow wants to know if my underwear and bra match.
Ummm, I'm not wearing a bra right now, so I guess I'd have to say no. My underwear are purple, just in case you were wondering.

Meet pics

Here we have me, Sanjana and Boo sitting outside the Olive Garden. We convinced a boy to take our picture. I'm quite sure he thought we were crazy. And he actually used the phrase "You're not from around here, are you?" LOL.



Wow, Boo's sunglasses sure are shiny! pay no attention to the fact that you can see my bra strap.


And finally we have the boy who took our pic. Boo liked his belt buckle (it says "Area Closed" lol) so she wanted to take a pic of it, but he didn't want his face shown. Sanjana to the rescue! :)




That's all the pics I have. We really didn't have time to do anything fun with Sanjana. He was only inflated for about 5 minutes. Poor little thing.

*snifflepout*

Ok, that peep meet was waaaaaaay too short. :( I miss Booboo already. 2 hours is just not enough time to have a proper meet. But, hey, it was better than not meeting her at all and we had an excellent time, however brief. Or at least I did. We'll have to wait and see what Boo thought. :)

I suppose you want details, eh?

Well, I left work at 3:30 and stopped to get cash and gas and then I headed out to the airport. I had been tracking her flight all day so I knew she was due to land at about 3:55. I figured she'd need 10 minutes or so to get through the airport and outside, but I was still worried about being late. So, of course I rushed to get there and I ended up being early. Heh. I had to circle around the airport a couple times because I got yelled at for stopping too long at the curb. *rolls eyes at security dude* Finally on my 3rd attempt, there she was! Yay! She hopped in the car and we immediately started chatting like old friends. There was no awkwardness or silences, I felt comfortable with her right away.

We drove to the Olive Garden where we had a very nice dinner. Salad and breadsticks, of course. Boo ordered an Alfredo dipping sauce for the breadsticks which was uber delicious. For dinner she got the lasagna and I had 5-cheese ziti. Yummers. Oh, I also had a glass of sangria and she got a big ole tumbler of boorbun. (heh. just kidding.)

Dinner flew by, we talked about work and blogs and you. Yes, *points* YOU. And then before we knew it, it was time to head back to the airport. *pout* But first we went out to my car and blew up Sanjana so we could sign hir and take some pics. (Pics will be posted tomorrow. I have to do it from work because I don't have the software on this computer.)

I dropped her off at the airport and we gave each other about 6 hugs. LOL. First a hug for us, then one hug each from MM, then one hug each from everyone else, and then another hug for us. :) And then I came home, sad but happy.

Boo is a total sweetheart and I loved meeting her. I almost kidnapped her so she wouldn't leave, but she said her husband and child might not like that too much. *rolls eyes* Whatevah! *grin*

(*hopes Boo approves of the length of this post* *giggle*)
