Dirty Little Secret

Have you ran into someone and thought to yourself...

"WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING!?!"

Exactly.

It happened to me today and rather than swoon and revert to a 13 year old schoolgirl... I looked at him closely and there it was.

"Eh."

Then instant regret on the time you wasted trying to get to know that person. Then you were just annoyed at yourself because really... were you freaking blind? This guy is a moron!! And the time you DID spent together was mostly him talking about himself! So now when you run into him, you really have no reaction and you don't find him remotely funny or interesting because when you really think about it, he probably didn't possess those qualities in the first place.

Or perhaps, this a new form of ADD?

What a crock!

After having it for sometime, we're finally christening the new CROCKPOT. For the entire day its been simmering and sweating up a storm... and let me tell you, my mom has been ansy pants ALL DAY. It started at 10am when I was driving to work and she called me to see if it had been plugged in...

Mom: Did Sonny plug it in?
Me: I don't know... I didn't go into the kitchen..
Mom: OH NO! What if he didn't.
Me: Well, its ok. I'll be home around 3.
Mom: That's not enough... IT NEEDS 8 HOURS!!
Me: 8!? I thought it was only 1!
Mom: NOO!! 8!! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO!?!

Well, I got home early and lo and behold... it was plugged in and the house smells like meat. And we're not talking about the glade-plugin.

You'd think this is the first time we've ever used a crock-pot to slow simmer a meal before...

Oh wait. IT IS!

Exciting.

Happiness is...

Having the day off, putting your feet up, listening to some good music, and just feeling the sun shine through the windows. Excuse me while I bask in the moment.

Love/Hate

Although I had the day off today, I spent part of it with my co-workers bowling. YAY BOWLING! I had charged my camera up so that I can post pretty pictures of bright bowling balls and the tears of gutter balls... but alas, when I wanted to take a picture of Karen wearing an outfit that MATCHED HER BOWLING SHOES (like seriously, matched it to a tee... and that NEVER HAPPENS), my camera was not inside my purse like I had thought. Nope, it was still on my desk right here. Boo to that. But yay for bowling. :) It was a fun time and I managed to get 1 strike! 1! 1 is an achievement and most importantly, its better than 0! I'm not a pro, but I'm not a complete loser. I'm just somewhat lucky. WHOOHOO!


Anyways, after immersing myself with 6 straight episodes of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (love love love it!!) at Alan's yesterday, I raced home to watch THE AMAZING RACE... only to find that it wasn't on (they actually switched it to Wednesday nights at 8! what the... and how sad am I that the nerdy couple are gone... but I love the hippies. They had me the moment they put on their BOWLING MOM's tshirts.) so I started watching BLOW OUT. And let me tell you, I can't watch this show for less than a minute without screaming "I HATE THIS GUY" because seriously I totally can't stand Jonathan. Yes. He knows hair. He cuts hair. He's damn good at cutting hair. But, perhaps its the editing or maybe it just his real self, but I can't stand the guy. He comes off as a real self centered asshole. So I watch this trainwreck and find myself getting more and more irked by him... and I can't f*cking change the channel! Actually, I managed to change the channel around 8ish because I kept on screaming "I HATE THIS GUY" and Carlene questioned the fact as to why I was still watching him... but when Bravo showed the re-run again at 11... there I was screaming at the TV again and watching the entire episode. You know what makes this a little bit sad... its the fact that I've been screaming at this man for the last 3 seasons!! Argh. MORON!

Close your eyes, give me your hand darling...

Just in case you didn't know...




There. My good deed for the day. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Nobody puts baby in a corner...

I *heart* Jean.

I still *heart* Jean... and I'll accompany her and her man-friend to Disneyland anytime... Just don't expect me to sexy straddle any of them on the Matterhorn any time soon. :P

Hippity Hop Bunny Jive

Well I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter! Mine was pretty good considering that I had to work... but on the bright side, I got to help out with the egg hunt and let me tell you, while it takes about 30 minutes to "hide" some 400 eggs, those kids were able to clean out the fields in 5 minutes. It was like a scene out of BRAVEHEART. :)

Anyways, a late belated happy birthday blogger shoutout to Sonny (the Canadian) who turned 27 on Friday. WHoohoo! :) We celebrated on Saturday night with a little partay and a whole lot of FAMILY FEUD! Who know it could be so much fun! AND we have a whole lot of greek leftovers!

Can it get any crazier?

That's how I felt last night. It was a sold out night and I didn't seem to have enough bedding. An angry guest threw a key at one of my cms and we had to call security on him. I was making friends with nearby hotels to see if I can walk guests over there. VIPs who were in house wanted BEER NOW and they didn't want to walk to the bar nor did they want to wait for roomservice to bring it up in 45 minutes because they too were freaking busy. And right around 10pm, the carpet guys came in and it was a game of people and furniture tetris because they were redoing the entire office. The air conditioning got suddenly cold but with all the furniture and boxes in the way, I couldn't get to the control panel. I was just waiting for the carpet guys to start walking back and forth with a huge pane of glass because it was definitely chaotic and I physically and mentally felt like I couldn't get things done.

... and its supposed to be the same situation tonight. Good gracious.

On the bright side, as always, the folks I work with are absolute dreams. I wouldn't trade them for the world.... actually there's a couple of I wouldn't mind trading. But for the most part, they're lovely.

OH, I started listening to the AVENUE Q soundtrack recently. F*CKING-HILARIOUS. Seriously, its some good stuff. DO listen... and then come with me to Vegas so we can watch it. That's your assignment.

Good Morning. Buenos Dias. Muchos Frias.

Its my "Monday" today. My weekend was pretty relaxing and consisted of shopping, going to Disneyland, ICE AGE 2, sleeping, and watching DVDs. There were some other activites in between, but thats the jist of it.

Oh I also painted my toenails. As if you care. Actually I hope that you don't because really, thats just odd.

:)

Just a couple of love slugs...

On a similar night like this about a week ago, when I was walking through the front gate, I saw these 2 snails. My first thought was "Damn this must be a journey for them" then I laughed and imagined the first snail, whom I mentally named Hank, getting angry at Betty (the second snail of course) who was taking SOOO DAMN LOONG. "Hurry up woman! Its RAINING!" he hollers. Aren't they the cutest. They must be in love... or maybe they're both single looking for each other and it's just taking a bit of time but they know the other is out there... or maybe they DO know each other but are subconciously waiting for the other to make the first move because they're too shy to do so... or maybe they're both "slow" when it comes to relationships... or maybe I'm just looking too much into things. Nonetheless, seeing the snails made me smile. I wouldn't touch them though... eww. Slimy.

Oh, I forgot to add but last night Kristine and I had the most delicious cheesecake at THE FACTORY for dessert... it had white chocolate and peanut butter truffles... and I'm drooling as I think about it. She had texted me about her craving for it today and tears came to my eyes because it was "THAT GOOD." I'm raving about the cheesecake because sometimes when you go the the factory, you can have one bite of cheesecake and that pretty much satisfies your craving... or you have one bite of one and its too gosh darn sweet that it gives you a headache. No, but this lovely pieces of sin on a plate was delicious and wow... let me tell you... good times.

Anyways, today, traffic was wretched. I arrived at work 25 minutes late with a wet foot. Curse you raging puddles of death!! But at least I didn't have to deal with it on the drive home... muahaha, some of the actual perks of working swing.

Did anyone see American Idol tonight? Was that really Kenny Rogers? The chicken man? Shut up... he doesn't even look the same...

Oodles of Doodles...

Sonnybear (The dog) wanted to say "Hi." Heartbreaker.

Everytime I sit down at this desk, I start doodling with whatever pieces of paper are in front of me. Actually its not really "doodling", it's more like practicing my handwriting. Its lame and silly, but I like writing my name over and over again... pretending that maybe one day I'll be asked do so and each signature has to be absolutely perfect. And its not like I'm changing my last name to some guy's last name because I'm not in "crush mode" and there doesn't seem to be any fill in for word that's like contestant/ but not really and I'm too lazy to look it up in the thesaurus at the moment but its me just writing. I write random phrases down and wonder "hmmmm... should I make that loop on the T just a bit bigger" or when I write other folks names (not added to my own.. I'm telling you no PROSPECTS... THAT'S THE WORD I WAS THINKING OF!) and think "hmmmm if only I had a name like Lisa because L's are really pretty."



"You windshield wipers... they're doing the spread eagle"

Anyways, I had dinner tonight with Kristine and the moment we got out of the restaurant, a HUGE droplet of rain came crashing down on me. It wasn't even like a little sprinkle... it was a waterballoon. Ok. I'm exaggerating, but it was a pretty violent drop because it startled the hell out of me and it took a while for my brain to register the fact that I needed to open the umbrella right then and there because a second droplet careened into me and I nearly tripped out of shock. Just thought I'd share.

Get down girl... go head get down.

Ok. I'm alive. :)

I wonder if folks are still reading this...

Anyways, if so... "HI!" Sorry. I suck. I know.

Some interesting things that has happened...

-I got a new car. Yes. I got a shiny new car. Its red. I call it "Alante" so I can run right up to it, do the Bundy Bounce and scream "The neeeeww Alante." Its all so very exciting. :)

-Last night at work, Sal and I got antsy so we listened to K-BIG and actually faxed a request for "SHE WORKS HARD FOR THE MONEY" which I was surprised to find out that Donna Summers sings. For some reason, I always thought it was the Pointer Sisters... but alas it isn't. K-BIG didn't play the song, those bastards, but I'm sure there will be another DISCO SATURDAY NIGHT with Sal where we'll call and give the hotel a shoutout.

-God bless girl scouts cookie time. When I visited my local Henry's there was a troop outside and one girl was dressed up as a THIN MINT. I wanted to freeze her and crush her in vanilla ice cream... but I didn't. That would be murder.

-Last week, I wanted to get my haircut... so I called the salon and asked for a reservation with OOnah, the girl whom I've been going to for the past 2 years. The thing was that she didn't work there anymore AND they didn't know where she had gone. WHAT!?! Can I tell you that right at that very moment, I felt abandoned. WHO DOES THAT!?! I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING! I TRUSTED YOU!! So I called around and Kristine recommended her hairdresser in Montclair. I went, but it just wasn't the same... Its funny cause when I told Joe this, he said he knew someone that would be good which sounds intriguing. Maybe I'll try her next time...

-I signed up for the "keep the change" program over at Bank Of America. Its pretty awesome. Not really interesting... but thought I share. Perhaps you might be interested.

-I just had a giggle fest on the phone with Jean. Apparently "ass is ass". AND HOW...

-SO I just finished watching Grey's Anatomy... can I say that when they showed Chris O'Donnell coming down the stairs looking all rugged and hot I literally said "Heello." Serious. Oh look I'm salivating just thinking about him.

-While I hope I'm not being too TMI... but I went underwear shopping today. Yay for new undergarments! Can I tell you how disappointed I was to find out that Target no longer sell the cute Hello Kitty panties anymore? They also had like Disney and Pink Panther, and other cute cartoon briefs too. But now they don't. Serious. And you'd think that Target could never do wrong. I guess not. But none the less... it was a good day of shopping.

-I really need to dance. Like "go to a club", "screw guys" (in a "forget guys" kind of way as opposed to the other "screw" connotation that comes into mind), "lets get hot and sweaty to the loud ass music that's vibrating around me and drink a bit" kind of dancing. I have that urge for it. ON the super bright side, this Friday, I actually get off work early and I have a late shift on Saturday night which means that I just may be able to go out, play, and wake up in time for work. *Hmmmm* Anyone game? Actually I've been trying to implement the "dance hour" at work... but it really all depends if there's a good song that gives me the urge to DANCE! I'll make everyone stop what they're doing for a good 30 seconds and DANCE. God bless the 10:52 DANCE HOUR!

- Speaking of work, can I say that while I enjoyed work before, I really do LOVE it now. Yeah, its a lot more stressful and I do get screamers every so often... but its exciting to see how the day goes and I am pleasantly surprised that I can stand somewhat on my own with the new responsibilities. Plus I get to dress up. Yay for dressing up all grown-upy.

OK... that's all I can think of at the moment. :)
