good vs. evil

currently encountering an wickedly vile person who would look best wearing a pair of red horns.  will elaborate more later, but why are some people so miserable in life that they feel the need to try to ruin mine?  oh, life and the millionth thing i'll never understand!

black friday

yay, today is black friday which is the biggest shopping day of the year.  desarae answered the question, "why is it called black friday?"  since she's in retail i think her answer is right..."it's the time of year when stores in the red go into the black which is good."  there was something else she mentioned as an additional reason but that was in between the 2nd and 3rd glass of champagne so it's hazy. 

today i am slightly hungover because nothing says thanksgiving more to me than drinking 3 glasses of champagne at top speed!  the food and drink were delish and i got some surprise news that will unfold later- but it's really exciting!  i want to shout it from the mountain tops- and no, i'm not engaged or pregnant!

tonight we're going to union square for the tree lighting and our obligatory slice of blondie's pizza.  i can't wait to be pushed around and fight for parking!

can't wait- love this time of year.  please be nice in the stores and on the roads!

happy thanksgiving!

this year i am thankful for the usual suspects: family, friends, pets, and some new ones... the fact that gram is fully recovered and cancer-free, that i survived a cruise during hurricane wilma and two moves- what a year!

hmm, i miss ralph.  i'm thankful for match.com since that's how we met, and of course, thankful for ralph.  :)

now...gobble, gobble.  eat some meat and be thankful!

cracklin' oat bran can work for you!

ralph loves cracklin' oat bran cereal so much that he bought it and it went stale.  he decided to throw it in the garbage though we don't have a protective barrier for the trash bags which means no food can be tossed into our garbage because dog will spare no expense at getting to the goods.  as luck would have it, ralph put his stale cracklin' oat bran into our garbage and dog got to the box and ate all of it (no surprise here)!

so, in case you were ever having a stagnant digestive system (and you wanted to change that), you should know that cracklin' oat bran did the trick for dog so it would probably work for you, too! 

we took her out to the grocery store and i waited in the car with her while ralph shopped, and she farted nearly 30 times within 20 minutes- so loud that she looked around to see where the noise was coming from. 

i can say now, there is nothing worse than a dog fart.  my car has stench of dog farts now.  yuck.

painting never ends

if you ever get the bright idea to paint your 5' by 8' kitchen dark purple, don't!  i can say don't do it with 100% confidence since i just did it and now i want to cry.  all that work!  i think i put it best when i told ralph it looked like barney exploded on our walls.  painting the kitchen has been a nightmare because the floors are a pinkish marble swirl and the countertops are denim blue.  ugh, what was the prvious owner thinking?  perhaps i should locate her current retirement home and ask!  any color ideas that would work with blue and pink and our already painted light beige living room walls?  this is driving me bonkers and i'm afraid the kitchen will not be completed by christmas!  my arms are tired.  i want to do something other than painting and priming walls when i get home from work!  poor me.  :(

test results

yes!  i passed my notary exam with 90%!  i'm so happy i could just scream.  this is a time when it comes in handy to work in the boon docks but since i don't i'm just going to tell everybody in my general vacinity even if they don't know who i am or that i was taking the test. 

lg season finale

the laguna beach season finale sucked harder than the dyson!  what the heck was that?!  saying bye for half an hour when you're seriously moving to the next county!  i simply don't understand this madness.  i guess i was just really excited to move to the other side of the u.s. after h.s. graduation.  as many of you know that excitement didn't last long because i moved back to the west coast shortly after.  anyways, i really wanted to smack jessica and taylor.  maybe i'm just in a really bad mood right now.

the 3rd lb season looks awful and i already don't like one of the characters (the girl who went to sr. prom with jason) already.  something about her just bugs me!  i'll most likely tune in for the premiere but it seems to me that my mtv days are coming to a temporary end- until they come up with another brillant reality show.

p.s. austin real world sucks, too!  perhaps i'm just getting too old to relate to the youth of today's drama! 

dork and a half, part 2

only i would buy tickets to see david allen greer (sp?) for the wrong night!  ug, such a dork and a half.  good thing my irresistible charm convinced the man at the improv to refund the tix so i could buy new ones for friday night, not thursday night.  yay, we're seeing david allen greer- can't wait to laugh my ass off!

in the hood

i love where we live simply because...

(last few weeks)

almost my entire shoe collection has been in the back set of my car, and if you know me you know this is quite valuable since i usually wear the comfort kind that are not so cute but for some reason cost a lot of $.  so i'm really happy that the windows weren't broken for them!

(last week)

i forgot my purse on the passenger seat of my car (overnight) and the window wasn't broken for its contents, which is a really good thing because the only thing in my purse are 5 types of gum and 4 types of lip glosses.  the purse would have seriously yielded more value than anything in it since i'm kind of poor at the moment.

(last night)

i misplaced my cash back from trader joe's and when i went to my car this morning i found it on the driver seat.  yay, nobody broke in to my car for the $10.  how great is that?! 

(at the moment)

i have a small tv covered with hot wheels stickers.  don't ask!  hope my windows don't get broken for this especially since it's not mine!

what a great neighborhood!  what more could a girl ask for?

less fortunate

ralph makes me laugh simply because he says things like:

"yeah, matt*  should get a job at fry's because they hire the less fortunate.  he'd probably have a good chance at getting hired"

wtf?!  for some reason that was the funniest and most random thing i've ever heard in my life.  what made it even better was how he said he read an article where the founder stated that.  ralph thought it was mean of me to laugh but i think it was meaner and funnier for him to say such a thing.  oh guys, you gotta love 'em!
