Things That Annoy Me

Rude teenage girls that waste their parents money to sit in a movie just to talk through the whole thing. I can understand a few whispered comments here and there, I'm guilty of that. But, these girls might as well have been in their bedroom reading those stupid teen rag mags, popping their bubblegum, painting their toe nails. And they weren't even talking about the movie, which would have been annoying enough by itself. Oh no, it was more like

'OMG, Todd tttooottallly sent me a message on facebook last night'

'RRReeeaaallllyy? I thought he was dating Addison'

'Nooo, they..like...broke up a while ago'

It was a fairly calm and quiet part of the movie. I couldn't keep myself from laughing as I listened to them carry on this stupid conversation like no one else was in the theatre with them.

And, is it just me, or do all teenage girls sound just like Ke$ha?

365/360 - Fun In the Sun..

..requires a lot of water. It's been scorching hot outside, with more to come. Who left the oven door open?

365/362 - Lead Me Not Into Temptation

I can find the way on my own. This is the reason why I will be dragging sorry butt out of bed on Saturday morning to go to Zumba class.

365/363 - You Skype, I Skype

My sister and I skyped for the first time last night. We tried the day before that, but I couldn't hear her. So she bought an external microphone and we tried again. At first she couldn't hear ME. After a few adjustments on my side, in which we are both cracking up because I can hear her but all she sees in my mouth moving and no sound, we were BOTH finally working.

It was so much fun to see her..and the cats...and Mike and Mel in the background. lol.

365/365 - First Day of Summer

Today is the longest day of the year, the Summer Solstice, the first day of summer.

It's the first day of my 365 photo project.

It was also 103 degrees outside which called for..what else...limeade chillers from Sonic, of course.

Things That Make Me Laugh

1. About a month ago, Jeremy and I walked around the corner and down the street to grab something to eat at the Cork and Pig. We were sitting at one of the patio tables outside when I happened to spot my friend Katie with her husband and son. The had been bowling which is a quick walk across a few parking lots and decided to grab some food. I went over to visit with them for a second before they went inside to eat and I went back to our table.

Well, Katie also happens to be a hair dresser and a few weeks ago I went to see her to get my bangs trimmed (I was about to take scissors to them myself..they were making me crazy). While I was in her chair she told me that when they were walking up to the restaurant he noticed Jeremy but didn't recognize me (because of the weight loss) until I had gone over to say hi.

So, he thought Jeremy was out with another woman.

2. This last week at work the computer guy at Jeremy's work came to him, leaned close and in a low voice asked him:

'How old is your wife?'

Jeremy told him I was about to turn 30....why?

'Oh, never mind then. I was on Hot or Not last night and I saw a girl with the same name..you know it's not a very common spelling. And well, I just thought that if it was your wife than we really needed to talk.'

Jeremy and I were both so curious about what his co-worker saw that we went to Hot or Not ourselves and tried to find some girl named 'Jinny'. To our disappointment, I couldn't find any. I wanted to know what picture he saw that made him SO concerned. lol. Was the girl doing something scandalous in the picture? Showing off her ta-ta's? Dancing on a pole? Was she at least cute?! I guess we will never know.

So, he thought I was trolling for dates on hotornot.com.

All that drama..and I THOUGHT we were just a normal, boring old married couple.

The Crew

Universal Truths

I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. - Destroying the evidence is always, always a best friends job

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. - This rarely happens to me...*snort*

I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. - All of the good stuff is wasted on the young

There is great need for a Sarcasm font. - People get confused and misunderstand very easily. Can you not HEAR how I am typing? Geez.

How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? - You don't. You wad it up into a shape that sort of, kind of resembles something that might be folded

MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood. - If people don't know how to get off their own street..there is no hope for mankind.

Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died. - or how they REALLY lived for that matter

I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired. - that would be never

You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day. - at work? Try about a minute after my alarm goes off.

"Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever. - add "dry clean only" and "hand wash only" to that list

I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone on the floor and sprint out the door? - I laughed out loud at this one. I don't think my sister EVER answers her phone. She calls me..I miss it. I call her RIGHT back, she doesn't answer. But then she calls ME right back. I don't get it.

I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay. - so do fist fights and ill-conceived tattoos

Bad decisions make good stories. - Please see above

I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger. - Have you seen the size of the people in this country? I think most of us have this problem. But the REAL question is..why are we so bored?

How many times is it appropriate to say"What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said? - Two..duh?

Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber every year? - Or maybe I just get smarter and smarter.

There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far. - Until your husband starts laughing at you for doing a little mini freak out

Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is. - I deal with due dates all day long and still don't know what date to write on the check at the end of the day

Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my butt everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time! - this should be a competitive sport

How To Charm Me

Jeremy and I were talking about my blogging. Or rather, I was talking..and he was listening...per usual. I was just going on and on about how I sometimes envy Pioneer Woman and Dooce for being able to build something out of their blogs. Just sometimes...and then I come back to my senses and realize that I do NOT want that kind of pressure. I can't even imagine what it must be like to HAVE to post SOMETHING every single day.

Er...no thanks.

But I did tell Jeremy that they have a knack of writing a whole blog post about nothing. And somehow can still keep people coming back for more. That's how its done.

So, Jeremy tells me that I am selling myself short. He says I am just as good as those bloggers (enter skeptical look here..but he doesn't read those blogs so how can he know). And THEN he says, 'Honey, I'm with you for most of the things you write about and I STILL enjoy reading what you write about it'.

And THAT is how it's done.
