currently out on the lawn selling my junk!

warning

if you eat pizza everyday for lunch, expect to gain five punds in a week!  that's what the applewood lunch special should be labeled with!  i weighed myself yesterday and i blamed "bloating" on the newfound tightness of my jeans.  curse that pizza.  and i actually thought it was "good" since i wasn't hungry for the rest of the afternoon.  who was i fooling?  just me!  ugh.  i really need to hit the trails on sunday and the rest of the week.

to top it off, i need to buy a new work wardrobe and i don't want to buy the next size up.  i refuse to!  what to do?!

happy trails!

under the weather

i feel like crap today.  i woke up with my ears and throat burning like a five alarm fire!!!  i'm glad ralph filled me up with airborne, cold medicine, tissue, and water before he left to work.  i slept in a bit extra and feel better but not 100%.  i so better not be sick for my bday, tomorrow.  the plan (so far) is to go to the beach/boardwalk to celebrate and we're going to eat dinner on the beach.  cold, please pass, come bug me on another day!

on the bright side, ralph sent me some awesome tulips and my dad and aunt sent me some bday gifts!  this week feels like christmas and i'm loving it.

mullet-madness

what about my hair screams to hairstylists who cut my hair for the first time, "make me into a mullet?!"  well, that's what happened and i will be wearing my hair- the 5 long strands that still exist (in the back)- in a pony until the front part grows longer.  i should've known the cut was headed for trouble when i saw the razor.  razor cuts may be nice on people with stick straight, silky hair but on hair that is coarse, dry, and wavy...the razor cut is a nightmare full of frizz!  i hate my new cut and the highlights are the only saving grace of my hair- unfortunately, most of them were cut out!!!

my hair is scary!  and you know it's really gross when your hair's shadow is scary- which mine is!

pass the pony holder, please!  on second thought, pass the hat!

my head hurts

...and so does my neck.  i slept on a pillow that was constructed for a giant so now i have to turn my entire body if i want to look in a different direction.  i feel like dr. evil.  i probably should've stayed home because i'm ultra sleepy and i wanted to lay on my bed in the ac-cooled room for the entire day!  is it bad to drive to work and then call in sick from the parking lot.  oh well, i made it so i may as well stay!

on the bright side i lost a pound in my first week of weight watchers- which is utterly stunning considering it's cravings week and i have been going over my point alotment.  wow, imagine the success if i can stick with the plan a little better?!  and it's really a fair plan, i just need to stop the high point items that are filler.

last night i had dinner with my family and saw my cousin jeremy for 2 seconds since he and his girlfriend were unable to join us for dinner.  they were crazy and nice- they drove from southern ca to say hi and see us and then they drove back the same day so they could go to the price is right this morning.  i hope they woke up for the show!

i also watched napolean dynamite for the 15 millionth time- does it ever stop being fuuny?!  i bought million dollar baby at target yesterday for $16.99.  i also spent way too much money while in target to just grab the dvd during my lunch break.  that's the killer about target, you get in and it takes over--all the fun stuff, not to mention, the awesome deals on toilet paper!  while browsing i picked up some new polish colors and i decided to try dove deodorant (unscented, i hate smelly deodorants!).  i'll let you know if my armpits go to underarms in a week- as their commercial states.

after seeing roo's highlights last night i've decided against having them done this week.  i'll stick with a cut and in the meantime, i'll look for an expert who can do dark to light foolproof-ly (i know this is not a word but it works here!).  must call to cancel appointment!

tomorrow is ralph's bday and he still hasn't told me what he wants!  ;) ;)  the plan is to go to dinner and then i have a few tricks up my sleeve for saturday.  i love tricks!  now we just need treats and it'll be just like halloween but in jul so it will be perfect for him since hallowen is one of his favorites!

condos

i love being approved for a $$phat$$ home loan and then the sales office drops off the face of the planet!  hmm...car or condo!?!  i'm not sure how much longer neo (my geo) is going to make it but a condo sure would be nice.  wtf- where are the sales office people?  maybe they just took a really long lunch break and forgot to come back!  e.t., phone home!  i'm really starting to get t.o.'d.  and why is it so damn expensive here?! 

ugh!  :O

p.s. it's almost my birthday- 18 more days!

when ralph is gone

when ralph is out of town i do things like watch napolean dynamite ten times in a row, and play the notebook at insane volumes so i can hear it from the living room into the bathroom while bathing.  you know, things that would really annoy another person.

where am i going with this...

i have tons of lines stuck in my head from napolean dynamite (big surprise, huh?)but my favorite is "do chickens have large talons?"  this may have something to do with the spelling bee clip that anthony and christine showed me which i'll post soon enough so you can join my laughter!  my other favorite line is his response to how his day went..."it was the worst day of my life, what do you think?!"

as for me, today has been the most boring day of my life thus far.  i'm beginning to think i will die of boredom if a bug doesn't bite my ass or something eventful like.

my boredom is compounded by the fact that i want to vomit because i have such a throbbing headache, and to make things better i just drank a glass of milk- yuk!  hmm...what a great day. 

also i think one of my neighbor's was murdered at 2 am and they woke me up!  i was so p.o.'d that i didn't even think to call the cops.  i better be a good citizen next time instead of eating a bowl of flax seed cereal and dozing off to three's company.  who knew such great tv was on at that time?! 

i hate personality tests!

it's official---i hate personality tests.  now i know hate is a strong word to use but i truly hate personality tests.  do i need to repeat myself?!

i had to take the myers-briggs and the kolbe test:

myers-briggs says: extrovert, intuitive, thinking, judge (whatever that means!)

kolbe says: i'm a quick starter with great follow-thru

wonderluc: who knows?  but i had to take this too!

ug, who cares?!  in the end can we really define a person by their answers to some stupid tests that will have variable results depnding on the day and the testing enironment!

anyways, my point here is that if an employer asks me to take one of these tests...it's likely i won't get it because i just have too much personality- at least this is my theory!

if another company wants to personality test me, i'm running the other way!

crashed cars and cold eggs

my commute to work is my least favorite part of my day- on all days.  it was especially not fun today because nearly every car had serious body damage and many of them were bad drivers- big surprise here!  when you start seeing a lot of cars that are side swiped and dented like that, it makes me think that they are going to randonly crash into me.  it's like they are magnetized to other cars and must hit.  oh well, made it safe this time.

when i got to work my scrambled eggs were cold.  there was no way i was going to try eating them while i was driving considering the cars around me (i had to be on my best defense).  i have to say, there's nothing worse than 3 cold egg whites with 1.5 yolks.  no flavor whatsoever.

sweet emotion

emotions suck, plain and simple.  they make and destroy my world all at once.

i've been bummed about gram's news but also very optimistic, which is it?  i want it all, as usual!  i'm optimistic that surgery and medical advances are on her side.  she's a strong person so as long as she hangs in there, it'll all just be a matter of time becfore she 100% again.

in the meantime, i'm getting increasingly paranoid about the recent track record of cancer around me, and thinking could be next (i tend to be a paranoid person so this is no surprise)...

so

in the meantime...

i'm drinking my pom juice (which i wish somebody had warned me about the energy it can induce- coffee hardly comparea)

eating blueberries

stressing less

wearing 3 layers of sunscreen

trying to exercise more by buying a soccer and basketball

listening to my recent soundtrack: hate it or love it by g-unit, selah by lauren hill, why can't i by liz phair, passing me by by pharcyde, when you say nothing at all by ronan keating, with you by jessica simpson, part time lover by stevie wonder, human nature by michael jackson, and float on by modest mouse.  enjoy.

and getting my face sandblasted (which turned out really nice and didn't hurt as much as i expected!)

if only all of this could make me a health guarantee!
