So, I'm at work but getting ready to fly fah fah away to Chi town for to welcome 2008. Gah, 2008! Can you believe we graduated COLLEGE in 2003? Good Lord.
Do you make New Years Resolutions? Welp, I do...I make two that are really important to me then have the other "traditional" ones...
1. To "grow the hell up" when it comes to my finances. I don't mean I manage money poorly; I don't at all. But, I resolve to get a financial planner to help me figure out what the hell I'm doing with my future...and help me manage the small mansion I owe in school loans.
2. To stay true to myself. I'm pretty good about this one, but sometimes it's easy to lose oneself in the shuffle before you know it. Getting a new job this past year was a great way to "re-discover" myself and what I want from life. So, I resolve to stay true to myself, what I believe...and stand up for the same!
Okay, now for some others...
1. Travel More/Move. I realized that I'm turning 27 this year. For some reason, that hit me harder than 25, 26... I've lived here my WHOLE life. I mean...I've gotten out and traveled and stuff, but.. Well, I guess I used to want to move to escape...b/c I hated my job, wanted a change, etc. But, now, I think it would just be great to step outta my comfort zone through traveling more and/or moving. I dont need an "escape" anymore so I think moving would be for the right reasons if it happens this year.
2. Work out more regularly. I've been so good lately, but the damn ice storm screwed me all up. Here's hoping my ass isn't only bronze (thanks to the tanning bed at th gym) but also toned by this time next year...haha.. Maybe I'll become a workout junkie! Too far? Yeah. Sorry.
3. Volunteer. While this is about becoming a better person, blah blah, it also just feels good. I resolve to find an organization that I can truly impact by volunteering. I'd like to use my law license somehow to help...but we'll see.. Also, I'd like to volunteer on a presidential campaign. I've become "into" researching the candidates this time for some reason. I dont like to talk about my political beliefs on here, but lets just make it clear Mitt Romney will not have my help. lol!
Welp, leaving soon for my FAVORITE HOLIDAY!!! :) Hopefully no delays getting to Chicago! Happy New Year-Cheers!
PS..Someday I shall throw a fabulous New Years party and you shall all be invited. Also, I'm kinda into masquerade events. So, just look for masks now. You know any party I throw will have a theme. C'mon... ;)
PPS...I also resolve to like odd numbers more. 2006 BLEW and 2007 was better. So, I figure it's time to let go of the OCD a little. Yup. I even got out of bed at 7:43 a.m. (I'm a nerd. I know).

The TRIFECTA .... LOL!
CON-FREAKING-GRATULATIONS to MARY!!!! She just got a new jobbie and will be leaving the firm!!! Dennis, Mary and I were "the family" or "the trifecta" or a lot of other random names that we found funny...D's gone. Jax is gone. Now, Mary's going. Wow.
1. The night after I took the bar exam...construction work on brookside plus celebrating equals this photo!
2. THE FAMILY! :)
3. Well, lookie there, it's another former lawyer from the firm! 
4. I dont know where this was.....but we've both got drunk eyes....

A HUGE Congrats to her!!! :)
Speaking of law, I was blog m.i.a. the past couple days b/c I was in my CLE...er I mean hours and hours of hell that rivaled bar review. Most of you dont share my pain, so I'll spare you... At least I had a friend the second day. However, the first day, I knew I was in trouble when the following happened...
Video speaker: "So, I practice employment law..How many out there dabble in employment?"
Two guys behind me "Yea-yuh" followed by a high five.
Dude. It was a video.

Rockin Around the Christmas Tree...
Happy Day After Christmas!
Mom and I had a great day together, despite me being a horrible daughter. Oh, what do I mean? I'll tell you.. I took her to see PS I Love You. Have I mentioned that my dad DIED when I was younger? Yeah, well.. taking my mom to see a movie about a husband dying.. on CHRISTMAS was not a good idea. *sigh* I only did it b/c I heard it "wasn't about death at all...it's really cute and funny.." Really?! Um. That was NOT my idea of cute and/or funny. Plus, mom and I both agreed that it was a little freaky and morbid that Hilary Swank got letters from him for a YEAR after he died. Dude.
Anyway, we ate good food and opened gifts and had a great time chatting, etc.. :) We might have a small family, but it's a good family nonethless. Oh, and I got an Ipod! Yes, I realize I am way behind but I really didnt want one until recently. Now, I kinda feel like I'm way behind the times since it took me like 10 minutes to figure out how to get the damn thing out of the package. Yeah. Really. But, tonight, Maureen said she'd help me with the uploading thing...
Lauren, A love and I went to grab a glass of wine after Christmas with our families. Good times and some semi-good photos. None of us were feeling photogenic. Maybe I'll post them later after I get off work. We all agreed that this year didnt really feel like Christmas.. Maybe it was the ice storm or flight delays or something.. but it just didn't quite feel like it. I mean.. I only had one day off which was way weird. I volunteered to work this week since I'm taking New Years Eve and the day after New Years off.
Welp, that's all I've got for ya. Hope you all had a great holiday! :)

I'm easily entertained when I'm hungover
So, yesterday afternoon, still slightly hungover (a LOT hungover) from the bachelorette party, I watched Hope Floats. Yes, I really did. I laid there on my sofa, just-showered wet hair, uncombed, nearly passed out, watching a movie where I mostly just sat there being jealous of Sandra Bullock's legs.
Aside from the superstar leg-envy, I got to hear my favorite quote from a movie...maybe ever.. (aside from "nobody puts Baby in the corner...Hello, thats timeless) Anyway, it's Harry Connick Jr's quote:
"The American dream. Find something that you love that you're good at. You twist and you torture it and you try to find a way to make money at it. You spend a lifetime doin it and in the end, you cant find a trace of what you started out Lovin"
I think that's SO true....to some degree. I know, I know... There are people out there that truly love their jobs and are passionate about what they do AND make millions. But, I think what the quote's saying is many people are often stuck in corner offices, billing their asses off (for example), just to pay for their newest Jaguar... Anyhoo.. that's my semi-rant today.. and I like Hope Floats. So there.
My other fav Hope Floats quote:
Dancing is just a conversation between two people. Talk to me.
Don't you just want to jump Harry Connick Jr when he says that? *sigh* Whatever.
Anyhoo, yesterday, I tried the boob taping...then tried again...and again.. I finally got it right thanks to some internet instructions. (Yes, I really googled "how to duct tape boobs"-that chick knows what she's talking about btw). Then, I tried on my dress, ready to be totally impressed with my efforts....And.. my dress is cut too high so taping my boobs just made them look mis-shapen, not perky. *sigh* Whatever. Then, I tried on a low cut dress just to make myself feel like it was all worthwhile. Yeah.
Tonight: midnight mass with mom where I get to demonstrate my horrible singing skills while people look at me like "who is that? She never comes to church...hmm.." haha.., then hanging with little G and preparing for Christmas. :) Happy Christmas Eve, people!

Popozao...
I dunno. Seemed like a fitting title for this post. Let's see.. goings on.. Gracie just puked up the Origins ad she ate earlier. That's about as exciting as it gets. lol! Actually...
Tonight, Maureen and I ordered pizza and played on dating sites. Yes, you read that right. I'd be lying if I said it wasnt b/c we were making fun of some people in different zip codes b/c we're evil, horrible people. Plus, people that can't spell divorce (ex: devorce) entertain me. However, when Maureen burst out with "I'm marrying that guy. I'm calling it" we opted to make a profile together. Anyway...some funny quotes during our matchmaking evening...
"He listed sarcasm as a turn OFF. What is THAT?!"
"I'm gonna tell him to find me on myspace...Wait..the price came up. Shit."
*reading profile out loud* "I'm active an enjoy outdoors" Maureen: Ew..*cringe*
When filling out the questionairre for eharmony, we opted to just pick the same thing for every question b/c there were like 500 questions...Maureen's quote "It's probably gonna say 'we wont pick you b/c you're apparently bipolar'." Then, a REAL message came up saying "We noticed that you picked the same answer for every question. That usually indicates the user is rushing through our process." No shit.
Since you have to pay to actually email anyone, we opted to write the guy Maureen liked a message on our profile! LOL! I dont think match.com liked that b/c we're now in the "approval" phase. It doesnt look good for Maureen's soul mate. He actually looked like a cool guy...just sayin.
Oh..the best part...our headline for our profile..is "FLAVA FLAV!" (please say it like on tv. thank you)
Aside from Sunday single sites, the rest of the weekend was awesome, too. Who knew having power again would be this much fun? haha.. Actually, Sat it started sleeting again and I got a leetle freaked. It think Mother Nature is trying to f**k with me... Dude. It's like "haha..you got power back...dont enjoy it too long, beetoch."
Sat was Lawson's bachelorette party, too. We had a friggin B-LAST. From penis cookies (a-la-Jenny) to large black men wearing the fake veil, we rocked it, despite the icy weather. Oh...and who wouldn't love some candy underwear, too (please see below pic). Also..lemme have a moment of selfishness..you can totally tell I've been pumping iron in that one pic. Lookie lookie! Gah... be intimidated damnit!
I edited these...the inappropriate ones shall be released for blackmail purposes only. Kidding. ;) I pity anyone who was on the dance floor when P-Control, Sexy Back, and Gimme More came on... It wasn't pretty..
And..I never posted my pics from the ice storm. I took lots of good ones of the roads, etc, but I didnt feel like explaining each one. You guys understand how badly it sucked b/c I whined about it for 12 days. So..uh...here's what happens when you're needing easy entertainment and all you have is candlelight.
The pic where I have my white coat on outside is the one that prompted Kelli's "We're so a dateline special right now" while walking to find food outside our hotel. Oh..and love the pic of my power lines. I drove up every day and, after seeing it, lemme just say....hell hath no fury like Jax realizing she can't sleep at home..AGAIN. Oh..and the tree in the road.. just my average drive to work after the damn storm. Whatever.
Please note how happy little G was when sleeping on Andrew. I drug her around all week and she slept on someone else. Gah. ;) Actually, it was friggin adorable...
I'll likely blog from work b/c I volunteered to work on xmas eve.. I dont know why. Whatever. But, if I dont, MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It finally feels like the holidays...
...now that I have power! However, I have done NO Chrismakah shopping! ARG! Yeah, yeah, it's Christmas, but my boyfriend is Jewish so I can call it whatever I want. I'm sad that I didnt get holiday cards out thanks to the effing "wintery mix" that took out Tulsa for12 days. Whatever. Anyhoo.. I'll have to post the pics I was going to use.
My idea was AWESOME...at least I think so. I got Gracie a bib that said "My first Hanukkah", a santa hat, etc. I sat she and Pablo Escobar (the fish, remember) in front of the tree and a menorah. What awesome picture would THAT have been?!!! For those of you that will have adorable, "precious," and classy holiday card pictures with your family, please dont anticipate those ever coming from me. I like funny. You will laugh. Or you will just throw them away. Whatever.
Anyway, b/c I'm in a good mood and have power, here's a survey. Do it. Or dont. Whatever. I took out the questions I thought were stupid.
1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Egg Nog has alcohol. Need we say more?
2. Colored lights or white on tree/house ? My mom loves colored. I prefer white. Whatever.
3. Do you hang mistletoe? No. I dont need a reason to kiss strangers. I do it all the time. ;) Kidding, of course... :)
4. When do you put your decorations up? After my mom's birthday. Family tradition. (so after Dec 10 typically)
5. What is your favorite holiday dish? Um...Stuffing. I really like stuffing. And dessert. And..wine. Hey, it's a dish. Whatever.
6. Favorite holiday memory as a child? There are a lot..watching White Christmas with my dad, decorating the tree with the fam, Christmas morning of course, how my mom loses her copy of It's a Wonderful Life every single year so it's a perpetual stocking stuffer...
7. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? That he's really just a gay rabbi?( saw that on a card and loved it) ;) Um.. nah.. I dont remember, but I believed longer than I should have. That's all I'm sayin.
8. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? I used to get to open one present on Christmas Eve.
9. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree? With ornaments. What kind of question is this?
10. Do you remember your favorite gift? Yeah, but it's more about the person who gave it to me than the actual gift anyway...
11. Which do you prefer giving or receiving? Both. But, I'm a giver. ;)
12. Favorite Christmas Song? All I want for Christmas is you or Carol of the Bells (b/c I could never sing it) or...I like a lot of them...Chipmunks Christmas Carol...or...NSync.. lol!
I'll post pics later tonight. I plan on staying in and relishing the awesome electricity, cable, internet, etc. Everything will be running at the same time! WOO HOO!!!

I've GOT THE POWER!!! AND THE CABLE!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! My stupid ass landlords were getting ready to go out of town for the weekend and leave the box thing LOCKED unintentionally. We caught them just in time and the electrical people were able to get in and hook us up!!!!
I'm going out to celebrate with Kelli b/c she got a new job...and I got power!!!!
My favorite conversation at work this week btw...It was candid, not like a supervisor or anything.
Talk talk talk.... leading to....
Guy: "Where do you want to go in the company?"
Me: "Well, I'm pretty happy right now, all I can think about anyway is power.." *laugh*
Him: "Well, you know...if you keep doing the job you're doing, there's plenty..."
Me: "Um. No. Like electricity. Power."

In 2007, I... (b/c I'm in my 20s)
This year, I....
Got a dog. Left a job. Got a new job. Broke up. Got back together (much better than before). Chopped my hair off. Grew it out again. Lost my drivers license...twice. Gave up tanning...then started again. Helped my mom move. Cried. Laughed a lot more than I cried. Said goodbye to friends that moved away. Got closer with friends I barely knew before. Traveled to Chicago-a lot. Watched a LOT more tv than my old job permitted. Started a new blog. Shot a gun for the first time. Met Aaron's dad, grandparents, uncle/aunt and cousins. I could keep going.. but basically been an eventful year! :)
Kinda funny, this is where I was at around this time last year. Looks like I got lots accomplished that I wanted to and didnt even realize it. lol! However, I was totally being cheesy with the "happy stuff" from 2006. I mean.. sure it was cool that I graduated law school, passed the bar, blah blah. But, I was truly pretty damn unhappy this time last year. I HATED my job, the billables, the hours of sleep I lost worrying about it, etc. I HATED the nice office with the awesome bookshelves and big windows. Most of my friends knew, but I didn't really post about it. Then, I had a relationship that was falling apart day by day which didn't really add to the happy-go-lucky stuff... haha.. I think I was just in a whirlwind of "what the eff am I doing with my life?!"
Then, this is how I started off 2007. :) haha.. What a year.. but man oh man was it better than 2006! Long and short...I'm in a MUCH better place and much happier now!! *little cheer from my desk* haha..
2007 proved to be pretty damn alright despite coming in like a lion. :) I think every year in our 20s proves to be a whole lotta challenges that we may or may not have anticipated. The main things I'd doubted and questioned in 2006 were resolved in 2007... So, here's to 2008 and hoping things keep going uphill. :)
So, off I go to get a new drivers license at lunch. Lord knows mine is somewhere in my dark apartment or something, but I dont plan on using my passport to get into the bar this weekend. And...who knows when I'll have power. I got a text saying electricians were at my building this morning, so cross your fingers. I found out my normally-on-top-of-things landlords were using an electrician they knew...who was screwing them over. However, they'd seeminly refused to call anyone else for whatever reason. My neighbor and I were about to make some heads roll by calling our own electrician, but hopefully we wont have to do that... Cross your fingers.... Day 12 with no power. Seriously. Do you think it's fair that we ask for pro-rated rent...at least for this week? I mean most people (including out street) were resotored over the weekend...so...opinions?

Gave up tanning...then started again. Helped my mom move. Cried. Laughed a lot more than I cried. Said goodbye to friends that moved away. Got closer with friends I barely knew before. Traveled to Chicago-a lot. Watched a LOT more tv than my old job permitted. Started a new blog. Shot a gun for the first time. Met Aaron's dad, grandparents, uncle/aunt and cousins. I could keep going.. but basically been an eventful year! :)
Kinda funny, this is where I was at around this time last year. Looks like I got lots accomplished that I wanted to and didnt even realize it. lol! However, I was totally being cheesy with the "happy stuff" from 2006. I mean.. sure it was cool that I graduated law school, passed the bar, blah blah. But, I was truly pretty damn unhappy this time last year. I HATED my job, the billables, the hours of sleep I lost worrying about it, etc. I HATED the nice office with the awesome bookshelves and big windows. Most of my friends knew, but I didn't really post about it. Then, I had a relationship that was falling apart day by day which didn't really add to the happy-go-lucky stuff... haha.. I think I was just in a whirlwind of "what the eff am I doing with my life?!"
Then, this is how I started off 2007. :) haha.. What a year.. but man oh man was it better than 2006! Long and short...I'm in a MUCH better place and much happier now!! *little cheer from my desk* haha..
2007 proved to be pretty damn alright despite coming in like a lion. :) I think every year in our 20s proves to be a whole lotta challenges that we may or may not have anticipated. The main things I'd doubted and questioned in 2006 were resolved in 2007... So, here's to 2008 and hoping things keep going uphill. :)
So, off I go to get a new drivers license at lunch. Lord knows mine is somewhere in my dark apartment or something, but I dont plan on using my passport to get into the bar this weekend. And...who knows when I'll have power. I got a text saying electricians were at my building this morning, so cross your fingers. I found out my normally-on-top-of-things landlords were using an electrician they knew...who was screwing them over. However, they'd seeminly refused to call anyone else for whatever reason. My neighbor and I were about to make some heads roll by calling our own electrician, but hopefully we wont have to do that... Cross your fingers.... Day 12 with no power. Seriously. Do you think it's fair that we ask for pro-rated rent...at least for this week? I mean most people (including out street) were resotored over the weekend...so...opinions?

I'll have the duct tape...and a side of electricity.. thanks
Sooooooo... I think I've officially booked New Years plans! :) Looks like Lauren, some of her friends, Aaron and I will be headed to a club owned/operated by outfit events (http://outfiteventschicago.com/) Everyone in the main image gallery looks like a pinched, prodded, plastic version of themselves, but whatever... It's New Years! haha.. The other image galleries dont look as well...plastic. It looks like it promises to be a good time...and I get to wear the cute black dress I bought when I was with Sarah! :) I think I'm gonna need some serious push up bra-ness and likely a little duct tape. C'mon, you all know what I'm talking about... 18 year old looking cleavage here I come...
Um, what else... I dont have power. haha.. Like you didnt know that one. Electricity is overrated anyway. Right. Pretending to be in the Oregon Trail is awesome.. However, I'm fairly certain after 11 days (today marks 10 nights and 11 days), the message would have come up "Jax has died of ____." Yeah. Whatever.
Today is my company holiday lunch..which means I'm outta here early. Hopefully, I'll get to get some much needed holiday shopping done. Sheez....
Oh and guess who's having the best year ever?! (insert the voice from the tv show) The Spears family! Lol! Congratulations, 16 year old Jamie Lynn! Knocked up n underage. What a year! LOL!

Serenity Now... SERENITY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I havent thrown a good pity party/whiney-fest since my staph infection. It's overdue.
I just got a call from AEP. Apparently, my LL's havent gotten an electrician out there yet and therefore "we've been moved to the bottom of the priority list for repairs." AND we have to call back once my LLs get this crap repaired...so that the electric company can fix the electricity. Oh. My. GOD.
I want power. It's been 9 days. I WANT EFF-ing POWER. I am tired of driving back and forth, wasting gas, getting my hopes up, eating fast food, having no cable, not being able to sleep in my own bed, paying my bills (despite not LIVING there to enjoy what I'm paying for). If they dont pro-rate our rent, I might lose my mind. They're nice people; they really are.. and this isnt their fault. But, uh, seriously... how did my mom get an electrician to come out DAYS ago and yet we still havent? I mean.. what if they dont pro-rate us? I dont want to piss off my LL's by refusing to pay the entire month, but my God. Not living there for almost two weeks makes me a little angry that I have to pay rent.
Also, where the EFF are the rest of my neighbors? I mean.. I know one girl has been calling, too. But, I feel like I'm the one doing most of the harassing AEP. The rest are just kinda waiting to see when we get power. I text everyone telling them we have to tag team the electric company once our LLs get this fixed. Plus, let's tag team our LL's to GET IT FIXED. People that sit there and do nothing royally hack me off. Since when did I become the leader in this power mission? We ALL live there. Gah! Stop being such a drain on my psychological well-being!!!!!! *insert me making a crazy face.. really*
I got infuriated and went to grab a Diet Dr. Pepper. I dont even like diet, but I'm trying to be healthier damnit. I went to ALL THREE vending machines at work...ALL SOLD OUT OF DIET DP. That was pretttty much the straw that made me want to throw my body at the vending machine to show it who's boss. Yeah. I didn't do that. But mostly b/c I was afraid I'd hurt myself.
I have done hardly any holiday shopping, my gas bill (car) is crazy from all the driving I've done to my apt then back to wherever I'm staying then back again and I'm basically putting my life on friggin hold. WHERE ARE THE DAMN ELECTRICIANS? FIX MY POWER. NOW. And as for my neighbors, get off your asses and call the electric company and our LLs. Finally, people in our building need to drink less Diet Dr. Pepper.... AGH!
And.. know what else... people that watch foodtv dessert specials while working out... FREAK ME OUT. Stop torturing yourself, morons. Whew.. that's been bothering me for awhile.
I feel healthier now...I'm harnessing my chi and getting back to a very zen place... I doubt I'll stay there... but for now... deep breaths.... deeeeeeep breaths......

Twas the Night Before....
No, I don't have power. Apparently the powerhead (?) is messed up (per my LL). So, today hopefully. Whatever. I've lost hope at this point. I think we need a discount on our rent. My little legal brain is gettin started.. Anyway, speaking of my legal brain, I found this funny online. I'm writing one for my vice president to read at our holiday thing..I'll post mine on here when I'm done. :)
'Twas The Night Before Christmas, Legal Version
- Author Unknown
Whereas, on or about the night prior to Christmas, there did occur at a certain improved piece of real property (hereinafter "the House") a general lack of stirring by all creatures therein, including, but not limited to a mouse.
A variety of foot apparel, e.g. stocking, socks, etc., had been affixed by and around the chimney in said House in the hope and/or belief that St. Nick a/k/a/ St. Nicholas a/k/a/ Santa Claus (hereinafter "Claus") would arrive at sometime thereafter.
The minor residents, i.e. the children, of the aforementioned House, were located in their individual beds and were engaged in nocturnal hallucinations, i.e. dreams, wherein vision of confectionery treats, including, but not limited to, candies, nuts and/or sugar plums, did dance, cavort and otherwise appear in said dreams.
Whereupon the party of the first part (sometimes hereinafter referred to as "I"), being the joint-owner in fee simple of the House with the parts of the second part (hereinafter "Mamma"), and said Mamma had retired for a sustained period of sleep. (At such time, the parties were clad in various forms of headgear, e.g. kerchief and cap.)
Suddenly, and without prior notice or warning, there did occur upon the unimproved real property adjacent and appurtent to said House, i.e. the lawn, a certain disruption of unknown nature, cause and/or circumstance. The party of the first part did immediately rush to a window in the House to investigate the cause of such disturbance.
At that time, the party of the first part did observe, with some degree of wonder and/or disbelief, a miniature sleigh (hereinafter the "Vehicle") being pulled and/or drawn very rapidly through the air by approximately eight (8) reindeer. The driver of the Vehicle appeared to be and in fact was, the previously referenced Claus.
Said Claus was providing specific direction, instruction and guidance to the approximately eight (8) reindeer and specifically identified the animal co-conspirators by name: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder and Blitzen (hereinafter the "Deer"). (Upon information and belief, it is further asserted that an additional co-conspirator named Rudolph may have been involved.)
The party of the first part witnessed Claus, the Vehicle and the Deer intentionally and willfully trespass upon the roofs of several residences located adjacent to and in the vicinity of the House, and noted that the Vehicle was heavily laden with packages, toys and other items of unknown origin or nature.
Suddenly, without prior invitation or permission, either express or implied, the Vehicle arrived at the House, and Claus entered said House via the chimney. Said Claus was clad in a red fur suit, which was partially covered with residue from the chimney, and he carried a large sack containing a portion of the aforementioned packages, toys, and other unknown items.
He was smoking what appeared to be tobacco in a small pipe in blatant violation of local ordinances and health regulations. Claus did not speak, but immediately began to fill the stocking of the minor children, which hung adjacent to the chimney, with toys and other small gifts. (Said items did not, however, constitute "gifts" to said minor pursuant to the applicable provisions of the U.S. Tax Code.)
Upon completion of such task, Claus touched the side of his nose and flew, rose and/or ascended up the chimney of the House to the roof where the Vehicle and Deer waited and/or served as "lookouts."
Claus immediately departed for an unknown destination. However, prior to the departure of the Vehicle, Deer and Claus from said House, the party of the first part did hear Claus state and/or exclaim: "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!" Or words to that effect.
See. I think that shit's funny. The rest of you are bored. lol! That's what's wrong with me. *sigh* haha! Anyway, on that note, I signed up for the "last chance" to do continuing legal education and therefore keep my license. Gah. Lawyers... ;)

UPDATE!
I called PSO/AEP and spoke to a lovely person named Grace who told me EVERYONE will be restored by 10pm TOMORROW!!!!! I feel like doing the cabbage patch or something equally white girl and embarrassing. Roger Rabbit what what....
Now, pray that my cable line works so I dont have to join the thousands with no access to the internet, tv, etc. I'm tired of being in the "have nots." I want to be in the "haves" with the rest of the upper crust people with power (PwP if you will). There's a good chance my cable might work since no trees fell on the lines, but AEP actually CUT our electric line b/c it was dangerous with the limbs, etc. Hopefully the weather gods spared my cable!!!
I love you, Grace from AEP. I love you!!

I love you, Grace from AEP. I love you!!
When you turn on your light, think of me...
Things I want to talk about today in no order what-so-ever.
1. Ice damage crap.
So, I'm about as tired of talking about the magnificent invention of electricity as you are hearing me talk about it. Whatever, it's my blog. My apt is still dark and scary, but cleeeeean. You see, I was heading home and finding shit by basically throwing other shit aroun..including clothes, mail, etc. So, Sat, I went home and cleaned before heading back to Sarah and Andrews. :) My mom has power (as of yesterday)so I had somewhere to shack last night...and until I get power at my place. Although, I think her hot water heater pilot light went out b/c no hot h20 this morning. I'm pimpin a headband and a ponytail. Be jealous.
I threw out my fridge stuff yesterday. I puked. Seriously. Picture the smell of chicken, cottage cheese, yogurt.. I'll stop now. It wasnt pretty.
7 Days. 7 Days of not sleeping in MY bed or showering at MY apt. I'm lucky to have good friends and also a mom with power now. I just want them to tell me affirmatively "Jax, count on no power til Thursday" or something. This going home every night and packing again thing is getting old.
Also, I forgot to mention the other day. I almost (seriously almost) bought a headlamp light thing when I couldnt find another flashlight. I think they're awesome. Can you see me in a headlamp? That might make my day....lol!
I've also begun to resent those with power up at work. It's like some mini celebration when they get it back on. I smile really big and say "yay!" but really mean "whatever, you're off my planet."
2. Cable
This goes into the above category, but for me it's impt enough for it's own number. The cable... will not be back on until around JANUARY 12th!!! OH. MY. GOOD. LORD. Kelli called yesterday to "get in line" with Cox. All I've got to say is....if I'm missing Grey's, those bastards better not be charging me. Hmph!
3. Lucca at the mall.
Okay, so I got a dress at the new little boutique, Lucca. I thought it looked very LC from The Hills. However, I should have realized that LC looks like she's in a trash bag when she wears some of that stuff. I put it on and looked...well.. just bad. So, I went to return it. Newsflash.. they dont take returns! WHAT?! AND, they dont take exchanges if they've sold out of the merchandise! ARG! It's a good thing I'm nice and I shot the shit with the sales girl b/c she let me return the dress for a semi-cute sweater. I should've known better than to shop somewhere that has "dresses" which are actually shirts. Gah. I dont like my ass cheeks hanging out for the world to see. Thank you very much.
4. The gym.
Speaking about ass cheeks, I went to the gym last night for the first time in a week. Just b/c midtown is without power and you have to shower at the gym, please don't walk around naked in the bathroom. It really just makes the rest of us awkward. I mean... it's not like I've never seen boobs n butts before, but I feel like a perv when I'm waiting for the tanning bed and have to sit there while a naked woman brushes her hair, teeth, etc.. Put on some damn clothes!! I ran into the wall accidentally trying to look down when I walked around the corner. That just made me look worse... Good Lord. Also, the fact that she pressed her naked body against the counter makes me nervous to touch the counter. That is all.
Also, this conversation should've never taken place:
Woman on yoga matt: "You have power yet?"
Me: "Nope.. That's why I haven't been here in a week...Doesn't take much to get me outta shape.. *laugh*"
Woman: "I have no power, either.. But, I've come up here...Haven't been here in a week? Wow.." *insert her making a disapproving face at me* She then stopped conversating like my lazy ass wasnt good enough to chat with awkwardly over ab exercises.
I have one thing to say: BITC*H, I didn't want to talk to you anyway and my kickboxing will take down your yoga loving butt any day. Hmph!
I'll admit.. Maybe I'm a bit more volatile lately. haha...
Movie suggestions for tonight are welcome. Kel and I watched the Nanny Diaries last night. My rating: Hot guy in the movie. Hot girl in the movie. Good ending. Chick flick. I give it an A. That is all. :)

I've got the power...
Oh wait. No I dont. :(
I stayed with Helga and her Husband last night (aka Sarah and Andrew). They rock my world.. Got a good night's sleep...as did little Gracie. I think I'll be there again tonight thanks to their awesome hospitality and my pathetic slight homelesness... Okay, I'm being overdramatic, but still.
This is me when I drive to my apt:
"Please be on...PLEASE be on... plllleasebeon!!!!!!!!!!"
Then, I crest the little hill and see that the light by my apt is still out and my wee little heart drops. Boo.
They told my mom she'd be on my Christmas. Awesome. Apparently, the box came off her house and she's in a long line of people to have an electrician come out. Also, even if they DO come out, they're out of supplies around here to fix the boxes on the houses. It's almost so crappy it's comical.
In much brighter news, Sarah has the N'Sync Holiday CD! Does this rock your world as much as it does mine?? "Merry Christmas...Hap.py. Ho-o-o-lidays..." *insert me doing nsync type dance*
Pray for the power. Have a great weekend!
Oh...something comedic. One of my co workers was telling someone (another coworker) in another state about the ice n stuff. She said "yeah, it's so bad here. Jax's been sleeping with friends....WAIT.. I mean.. at her friend's...." LOL!

1. With my 30 dollar flashlight (yes, really... ridic, right?), I went home after getting some food and running errands. I was the ONLY car on my street besides my neighbor's car that he'd left there.
2. I saw a flaslight across the street....then realized it was someone trying to break into my neighbor's car. No. shit. They saw me an drove off.
3. I realized I could not stay there. Went up to pack to head to Coweta again (thank GAWD for Jennifer)
4. Dropped my light in my apt and couldnt find the batteries that had fallen out. In pitch darkness, crawled on hands and knees almost in tears til I found them.
*************************************************************************
Dude. You might say I'm overreacting, but I reiterate my post from yesterday. Doing this alone. SUCKS dot com. The lone soldier in my apt, I decided sacrificing safety was not a good plan for the night, even if I did have heat (*but no power at all*) But, like the brave little toaster, I trekked up the pitch black stairs to my place and decided I must train Gracie to attack. Right. hahaha. I can see it now-the attack Cavalier Spaniel.
**************************************************************************
My imaginary movie theater audience was screaming "DONT GO UP THE STAIRS, MORON!" LOL!! :)) As Kelli would say... "We are SO a dateline special right now..."
And.. what the hell is up with Jessica Alba being preggers?! I may not have tv, but I've got internet at work, people.. and I think that's just plain nuts. What is up with knocked up celebs lately? Gah.

The sun will come out....tomorrow?
Hello, Mother Nature, this is Jax. You suck.
Kel and I shacked in Coweta yesterday at one of her friend's places. Since this is the day for a 20something post...and all I can think about is ice...
Dude. I'm not tryin to say I wanna be married...or even have a roommate necessarily. But, uh, having someone who is kinda "required" to be stuck with ya in this weather would be nice. That's all I'm sayin. I have visions of board games, wine, candles, maybe some serious body warmth... Yeah. Granted, it's not romantic when you cant really shower that frequently b/c there's no hot water, but let me have my fantasy. In all seriousness, it would be nice to just not be sitting there...alone...getting frustrated when I cant read my magazine over candlelight. At least I've got Gracie. haha... We entertain each other and I made her participate in a candelit photoshoot...until we left for Coweta. :)
At any rate, so glad to have friends...especially ones like Kelli that join in a nightly nomadic adventure of where we're going to sleep...haha..

For those that don't live here....
It's friggin HORRIBLE here! At least the rain is washing some of it away...
1. 200,000 plus without power (including myself, my mom, my friends, etc etc etc)
2. Kel got the last room at a local hotel last night so we stayed there. I had to drive there after work though...and with no streetlights, it was interesting. It was like..drive...drive...drive... SHIT! TREE in the ROAD!!!!
3. There are trees blocking the door to my apt building walkway
4. My mom and uncle had to leave town to get a hotel b/c there were none in Tulsa. Seriously. They drove to Arkansas for a couple nights. No shit.
5. Little Gracie is so cute in this weather.. She understands, I think. I took her to the hotel last night and she was SO GOOD. No crying, no peeing, just jumped in bed and went to sleep then slept til it was time to leave this morning. :)
6. My apartment has heat (so Gracie is okay there for the day) but no power yet... or hot water.
7. Expecting more freezing rain tonight. :(
8. I've been taking some pics I can post when I get the net back at home.
9. I lost my bank card...and ID.. yeah.. likely somewhere in my dark apt. :( AND all the banks were closed this morning (without power) sooooo I have to try to find somewhere at lunch taht I can write a check and get some cash. I'm carrying my friggin passport around with my 60 cents I have to my name. Awesome.
10. Cross your fingers power goes back on soon. When it gets dark here, it's like the movie "Day After Tomorrow" feeling..
Also, what are people doing getting gas? There are lines cars and cars deep to get gas. I mean. where are they going?! Lol! It's an ice storm, not a hurricane.. Whatever... haha..
Conversation for your enjoyment last night:
*While walking to restaurant near hotel (downtown) with Kelli in pitch blackness and fallen trees everywhere*
Me: "This is weird!"
Kel: "Yeah, well.. we're a friggin dateline special right now..."
That is all. Stay warm, people! :)

Walking in a winter....NOT wonderland...
Dude. My power went off at..um.. 7:30 last night.. also known as the same time the power company was working on the building next door...then LEFT. So, um, yeah, I blame them for this. I called and was told I'd be restored by Wednesday. WEDNESDAY. Now I understand it could be 7-10 days before everyone is restored. *sigh*
So, Gracie and I packed up and headed to mom's. My uncle's in town visiting and I dont mind the sofa, so I took the living room with my dog. The night was one of breaking limbs, falling ice, and um... an oven timer. Yes. You heard me. The OVEN timer was activated somehow..and wouldnt go off. Have you seen the Friends episode of Phoebe with the smoke alarm that wont go off? (See Friend's ep: The One Where They're Up All Night-the video's on youtube). Anyway, it might be the funniest episode EVER...besides the one where Joey wears all Chandler's clothes. Anyway...that was me last night. Standing in a wife beater and pj pants, crazy hair, no contacts, and glaring at the oven...like 2 inches from the timer. When I couldnt get the knob to work, I just started pleading with it...
"Plllleaaaassee stop!"
*Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*
"Seriously!!!! It's 3am....." (starting to whine)
*Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*
"I dont want to have to wake everyone up." *looking around for some magical oven fixer person* Seeing no one, I glance back...
*Bzzzzzzzz....*
"Damnit!!!" -grabs can of pledge or something..hits oven...breaks face of timer...- "Yes! I fixed it!"
* Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......BEEP BEEP...Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*
"AGH!!!!!!!!!"
- I woke up my mom...then my uncle...My uncle turned off the breaker to the oven. The buzzing subsided.- I should have thought of that.
I feel really badly that I broke the damn thing. Patience... Patience... Anyway... I heard I still dont have power at my apt. A limb fell on my mom's house, but it's okay.. Friends said chainsaws started in their neighborhoods at like 4am! People trying to stop the damn limbs from damaging property, I guess... The roads arent bad...It's the power lines and the trees that are taking the biggest hit. I made it to work with hardly any problem and I'm lucky my mom had power last night so I had somewhere to go...even if I broke her oven. (Oops)
Anyway, stay warm!!! Cross your fingers that I have power later! I'm becoming a pro at scraping my car. Watch out, bitches! lol!
Last but definitely not least, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOM TODAY!!!!!!!! Hopefully the weather will permit us to go to dinner or something tonight! :) YAY BEV!!!!!! I wish I had a pic up here at work to post, but she's awesome! Trust me on that one. :))))

"What's with all the Santas?"
When ice interrupts my dvr, I'm not happy. When ice interrupts the Hills movie that I dvr-ed today about LC, I'm REALLY not happy...Anyway, Jen Bunny and Heidi were in some of the old Laguna shows... Who knew?! Right. You care. Well, I do.
Anyway, Kel, Jennifer and I went out last night...only to be immediately greeted by 25 Santas on Brookside... I didnt ask questions.. esp when a drunk one handed us some broken candy canes. LOL! I wish we could've gotten the whole bunch to be in a photo, but most of them were staggering down to another bar. These two were good sports, though..
Sunday morning, as you all know, we got the "winter mix" they'd advised. I HATE that term.. winter mix... whatever.. Anyway, powerlines were not equipped...as an understatement. Power even went off while I was in line at Target today! Awesome. Oh how I hate not having a garage, too. Ice scraper=my new BFF. Ugh.
Overall, good weekend! :) Saturday, Sarah and I went shopping for dresses...and we found some!! Granted, it took us a few hours, a trip from the mall to Utica...and back again, changing in a storage room (dont ask), etc... but we got em.. ON SALE...and with a "friends n family" discount!! Sarah has connections. ;)
Friday, went to see Awake (with Jessica Alba)... I gotta admit.. We saw it b/c there wasnt really anything else that looked appealing, but it was pretty good.. Not academy award good, but whatev.
Well, that's my weekend.. drunk santas, shopping and Jessica Alba. Oh, and watching Gracie try to pee in the icy weather is hilarious. She kicks her legs up when she walks in the frozen grass and looks at me while she's peeing like "What the hell did you do to me?" lol!

B/c I'm in my 20s...volume 11? I dunno..
So....
1. I believe in working out....so I can ultimately consume more beer when I go out. Not the whole reason, but it factors in.
2. I think Aaron's white t-shirts might be the best things EVER. I sleep in them, bum around in them, and basically love them.. esp the ones with a hole or something. Comfy, worn, perfect.
3. I fall asleep in makeup way too frequently.
4. I'm not embarassed to jump in and play the photo hunt game at the bar-the naked version. Whatever.
5. I believe in name brand foods at the grocery store. I mean.. I'm not buying in bulk so what's the problem with actually getting the "kraft" product? Whatever!
6. I'm starting to really understand the "I want to have kids" thing...like in a realistic non-dreamlike way, but I still cant wrap my brain around why people have more than like...two or three. I mean...that's a lot of mini people!
7. I argue intellectually with my mom, etc about politics.
8. My fridge looks like a science experiment...regularly..
9. I get lonely when I'm in a funk and there's no one physically around to pull me out of it.
10. I'm old enough to HATE the smoke at a bar and even complain about it to friends, but...not old enough to leave b/c of it...typically.
There you go. Randomness this Friday.
Also... my baby Gracie has WORMS! Yeah. TMI. Well, guess what, it was TMI on the friggin puppy pad this morning when she wouldnt go outside b/c of the rain. They were tiny little things. :( Grosso. I guess it's more common than I thought and it happens from ingesting a flea (WHAT?!) I'm fairly certain my vet thinks I'm crazy with the panic I had in my voice when I called. *sigh* Still.. sick. :( I think panic is a reasonable response when your dog has a PARASITE. *Sigh*

Scantily clad women and asbestos
Did you watch the Victoria's Secret fashion show? I dont know what V's secret really was.. but I'm betting it wasn't some of the weird sh*t those models were wearing. That said, it was a pretty good show. Granted, I watched it while eating raw cookie dough and squinting to see the girls' ass cheeks as the camera zoomed in. I was hoping to see a leetle cellulite...or something...*sigh* I was actually quite impressed that most of the models looked fit.. I mean...they were all fem bots, but they didn't look like heroin addicts. So, there's my review. And yes, I dvr-ed it...for a day when I'm feeling crappy and need to feel crappier. LOL!
I havent really felt like blogging about being in my 20s lately. Why? B/c I've been alternating between being in a funk...and being not in a funk. That's all I've got from being in my friggin 20s. I've also had writer's block. So, here's some randomness...
* Even though I have wireless internet at home and a laptop, I get online from the same place on my sofa. Why do I do this? No idea. Whatever.
* I wanna go lighter blonde again. I feel like the dark blonde lowlights make my hair look orangy. It's not a good look.
* I need a cute dress to wear for Lawson's wedding and New Years. Preferably the same dress (to save money, people)
* I'm sad they're officially tearing down the Camelot hotel here in Tulsa. It was a landmark. My parents stayed there the night they got married. Now, I know it's a crack house infested with asbestos and quite the eyesore. However, I always wondered what went on there at night...Anyway, here's an ad from the hotel and a photo of a room after the hotel was abandoned. There's a blog in tulsa called Abandoned Tulsa with some photos from a girl I met through Aaron. We spent (my first) Passover at her home one year. Anyway, google her blog if interested. (double click images for larger viewing)
* I still have a red dot on my chin. Sheez. At least I couldve gotten it on my forehead and it could have looked like a status symbol in some cultures. Gah. Bad joke, but seriously.. I'm out of patience for this stupid thing.
* My uncle's in town this week. He has cute pics of my cousin's babies. :) I shall post some at some point. Last night I kindly reminded my mother that she'd better take care of herself b/c se wont be having grandkids for awhile. (Please note this comment was provoked and I wasnt being a sh*t for no reason)
Yup. That's it. I really want my dog to have a photo with Santa. But, I also want Santa to hold up a menorah and maybe even let Gracie wear the bib I got her that says "My first hanukkah." Really. I did. I think I'm quite funny. Just FYI.

I want a shirt with my name on it...
Why? B/c I'm a mechanic...apparently. (and b/c the shirts are cute kinda..) Anyway...the last time I got my oil changed, they did NOT check my coolant OR my wiper fluid. How do I know? Well.. when my "low coolant" light went on, it dawned on me. The wiper fluid was obvious.
I added a little coolant earlier this month when the same thing happened. I didnt add enough apparently b/c the light went on again. I have a tiny leak in my manifold. Sounds serious...but its so little that most places just say as long as I watch my coolant, I'm fine. That said, as long as the places who do my oil changes actually refill the coolant, things are great! (knock on wood).
Welp, this time, they obviously didnt refill it (or the wiper fluid) AND failed to turn off my "oil change" dinging light that goes on every time I turn on the car. *sigh* Annnnoying.
So, off I went to wally world to buy coolant. Bought it with relative ease.
Standing by car, read coolant "Wait until car adequately cools to fill."
Inner thoughts:
Um. What? What does that mean? How long is THAT supposed to take? I mean.. I was in Wal-Mart for about 15 minutes. A guy totally wrote these instructions. *eye roll*
With a girly-looking cringe in my fluffy, winter-white Guess coat, I stood back and unscrewed the cap. It was very anticlimactic. I guess it had "adequately cooled." Whew.
Anyway, when I pay for a service, I expect them to DO. IT. Ugh. I could have waited in line and complained so they could fill the coolant, fix the "oil change" light AND refill the washer fluid, but really.. that would have just taken my whole lunch break and pissed me off.
Maybe it's the season. Maybe it's the time of the month-haha-kidding. Whatever. It doesn't take much lately to get me irritated.
Welp, a reminder for a meeting just popped up on my screen.. I have no idea what it is, but I'm obviously supposed to be there. Sooooo.. lates, people.

Redneck Romantic
So, I was en route to work this morning when I heard some guy call into the radio show:
Guy: Hi.. My girlfriend listens to this station all day long from work. I want to propose to her on the radio today. Can I do that?
Radio dude: Aw...Sooner the better! Let's do it now!
Guy: Awesome. We've been dating three years today....and she's just so...*great comments here*
Radio: Okay, well, the floor is yours...
Guy: Sue Smith (I dont remember her name), will you marry me?
Radio guy: *awkward* Wow. That was um.. sweet... *awkward clapping by radio morning crew*
WHAT?! There are so many things wrong with that caller. First, did you wake up this morning and decide this was the way to go with a proposal-the morning show where they make fun of everything? Second, after all that... you simply ask the question? No lead-in like "Sue, I think you're the most amazing person...." Nope. Just, "Hey, hun, will ya marry me? Give this guy a call here on this here station if you say yes."
Okay. I'm a bitch. I know it. These two people will forever be soul mates thanks to the radio morning show and super creative and kind words. Done. Happy Monday.

Down the field to vic-tor-y.. On Tulsa On....
So... there's a little game you might have heard of tomorrow.. the CONFERENCE championship! GO TU!!! Some people (and me) are headed to watch the game tomorrow! WOO HOO! And.. it's on early enough that we won't be overrun by OU fans. I mean.. I like OU and all, but I also like to watch the TU game more. :) Wearing my TU gear at work (it's game day).

So, this writers strike.. is it gonna be over soon? I think the networks are trying to prolong whatever shows they have left through the holidays by showing re-runs NOW. Ugh. Annoying.
Last night, had yummy sushi on the hill with Sarah and Brooke. We shall wear ugly sweaters and look at lights soon. That is both a threat and a promise. ;)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I have this new thing.. it's called sheer UNMOTIVATION to work out. Aaron and I are talking about a possible trip in March if my budget can handle it. (We're staying optimistic so I'm not going to blog more about that right now). Anyway, it's good motivation to think about a trip. Are you like that? I have to actually have something to make me motivated.. like an event or something...I'd also like if someone held up a pic of Giselle while yelling at me while I run on the treadmill.. lol!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Speaking of a trip.. just briefly b/c I dont want to get my hopes up...but I really really really really really want to go somewhere adventurous. *sigh* Here's hoping the airfare Gods are on my side. They were for Belize (our tickets to Belize were like 300 bucks). I've told my mom the only thing I want for Christmas are airline gift certs on AA.com (What I typically use to get to Chicago).. haha.. I'm quite serious though. Every little bit helps, right? :)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
GO TU! GO AZ (Aaron's school) and GO OU! (b/c everyone at work loves Missouri)!

I justify. So what.
I strongly believe that taking the stairs to the vending machine on the second floor makes my snickers bar have less calories. That is all.

The heat is on...(duhnuhnuhnuhnuh...)
Hopefully, it's on anyway. So, as I was walking out this morning, my LL showed up with a heater repair dude. That's good and all, but I had a conf call at 9am so I couldnt stay. I mean.. I have nothing to hide..but the only child in me is like "weird people in my space..weird people in my space..." Plus, I look like an animal abuser b/c little G is in her crate and likely pawing at it pathetically while they're there. She has the "I'm pathetic and get no attention whatsoever" look down.
So, this is gonna sound weird.. but I really really want to have my hair pulled. I dont mean anything like THAT (you sickos), but do you know what I mean? I cant really explain it, but there's a proper way to do it.. like kinda grabbing at the roots all over for about 4-5 seconds... It's relaxing...Whatever, you think I'm nuts. It's alright. Not the first time.
So I wish everything made me as happy as my stylist does lately.. I went on Saturday and had some lowlights added..but not brown...more honey blonde..anyway, love it, love being blonde. I typically go darker this time of year, but dont think I will. So there. Hmph!
I think we should have a girls night where we meet, go look at Christmas lights (maybe at Rhema) then go grab a quick din din or something nearby. We could wear ugly Christmas sweaters. Takers? I'm serious.

C'mon baby light my fire...
Right. My pilot light keeps going out.. as in like 3 times per DAY. I dont know what to do.. I guess this is an issue for my LLs and not for the gas company, right? I have to go home at lunch today b/c little G will be so cold since it went out this morning (again). So. Annoying.
Had a totally scary encounter this weekend by my apts. I would write about it, but I really dont know who reads this. But, trust me, it was scary, people. If I dont blog for a couple days or something, please check on my status. Thanks. Being dramatic, but really...Maybe I should move somewhere safer...
Notes from the Underbelly returns tonight!!! Hooray hooray! My fav is the lawyer.. I forgot her name.. hmm....
I have a calendar on the wall in my office....It still reads "July" It's my personal goal to keep it up through Christmas. I find it funny. Whatever it takes, right?
Also, has anyone else tried to upload photos to facebook in the past..um.. 5 days...and had issues with their new uploader?

Santa packs are coming...Santa packs are coming...
For me, something always marks the official arrival of the holidays...Coca Cola Christmas cans!!! What-what! I dont even LIKE coke that much nor really buy it, but I always notice....
Also. my little baby Christmas tree! Its the first one I've had on my own. :) I'm such a grown up-gah. The secret is wrapping the lights within the branches.. (mark this down on things I learned from Martha Stewart.. please number it (1) ) :)
Oh, and saw the BEST holiday card:
Front: Oh! Oh! Oh!
Inside: Happy Holidays from Dyslexics Everywhere!
*Evil, mean, but I laughed. Sorry, but I did. A lot.

Thanks.
So, tomorrow, everyone will be filling their tummies with food. Today, I chose to list a few things I'm thankful for... but only a few...and in (VERY) random order...
I'm thankful...
1. I'm not a turkey.
2. For my fabulous new job this year
3. For my little dog who has changed my life, Gracie. :)
4. For elfyourself.com..haha...http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=9564853795 (I elfed Aaron, me and Gracie.)
5. For my mom...likely more than she knows. :)
6. For Aaron...for so many reasons, some which I could never put into words...and for direct flights to Chicago. ;)
7. For Blogger...that allows me to vent in a healthy manner versus internally exploding with frustration
8. For Aaron's fish (and now MY fish), Pablo, making it despite me forgetting to change his bowl-a lot.
9. For low rise jeans remaining in style. Seriously.
10. For my friends...Since I'm an only child, I truly consider you all part of my family. Thanks for celebrating with me, venting with me and listening when I needed it... and letting me do the same for you...
I could list a ton more things, but staying light-hearted and in the spirit of not boring you, there ya go. Have a fabulous Thanksgiving, everyone!!
* Also, would like to send a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Joy today!!! :)* Have a great day, girlie!!

Do something!
My Glamour is so inspirational...Lookie what else it gave me.. I picked the top 10 charitable things to do out of their list of 31:
1. Buy a holiday turkey for a family in Baton Rouge (home for Katrina evacuees) for 25 bucks at brfoodbank.org.
2. Support the troops with warm socks, deodorant, etc. Find their wish lists at anysoldier.com
3. Donate blankets to kids in homeless shelters: projectnight.org
4. vaccinate 50 people around the world (with just 50 bucks) from meningitis, polio, measles, etc.. on doctorswithoutborders.com
5. Provide a month of care for a woman or child rescued from sexual slavery for 30 dollars on sharedhope.com
6. Donate! Donate old glasses (neweyesfortheneedy.org), shoes (shareyoursoles.org)
7. Find projects in your zip code at dosomething.org
8. Mentor at at-risk teen at icouldbe.org
9. Send a DVD or video game to hospital-bound kids via childsplaycharity.org
10. Give to donorschoose.org. A small donation can help create a cozy reading area for an underfunded classroom.
Along the same lines of "doing something," WHAT WAS UP with the Bachelor last night?! Oh. My. God. He was my favorite Bachelor up til this point. I mean.. I didnt really like Deanna that much, but still...what was UP with that? I mean... No one asked him to propose...but to cut them BOTH loose... Lame. What was that whole "I cant look you in the eyes and tell you I love you." OUCH. I cant WAIT for the show tonight... (b/c I really AM that lame-whatever) ;)
Oh..and I saw a few of you noticed my cute purse Aaron got me! :)) That guy rocks my friggin world. :)
Is anyone else unmotivated this week? *le sigh*

B/c I'm in my 20s..on a TUESDAY.. What-what...
Somewhere after reading my Glamour magazine, deciding Marie Claire was utterly devoid of anything interesting, and attempting to avoid awkward conversation with the guy sitting in seat 19B, some deep thinking began. It was on my way back over a sea of tiny lights through irritation that I couldnt sleep due to Pepsi overload that I thought a lot about being in my 20s. I thought about fairness and about inexperience...about confusion and idealism. I basically decided one thing: I'm not invincible...anymore.
That sounds obvious. I mean.. of course I'm not invincible...nor have I ever been. But, for some reason, I feel as though that notion becomes more "real" in your 20s. I mean... I feel as though, when in our 20s, we realize we're really not untouchable.. We can get fired. We can lose a loved one. We can fail. We can have colossal heartbreak....all while giving everything we've got. It's not fair sometimes,. This isn't to say that I've never been through anything before I hit my 20s. My father passed away when I was 12 just to name one.... but I dont know if there's something about a certain level of maturity you hit in your 20s that says "This can happen to me?!" At the same time, you want to start hitting that "fake break" your parents hit when you started to learn to drive...
I guess I was just thinking about all this..and realizing those moments when you're not so "untouchable" and really aren't invincible...are the moments in your life...and especially in your 20s...when you build more character than you can stand-even when you'd rather not have a craptastic "character building experience." So, even though I'm not having one of those right now, just sayin...deep thinking next to the bald guy in 19B (who had my armrest) made for an interesting flight. Partially frustrated that things aren't always fair...or deserved...I'm still okay with not being invincible and seeing where that takes me.

Things that make you go hmmmmm....
Things that annoy me:
"Your account has been locked due to three failed attempts." It's not MY fault I cant remember all my passwords that the world makes me remember. Le sigh. So much for paying my cell phone bill...for another 20 minutes. Boo. I would be able to remember if Sprint hadnt gotten bought out by Nextel and therefore made me change my password to something I cannot remember. Whatever.
I woke up with my dog's rear end in my face this morning.
Apparently, it annoyed someone that I referenced someone I dont like on my blog...months ago. I was informed it was a bit rude. Whatever. She/he doesnt read the blog...and I didn't spell out his/her name or anything or identify him/her. Besides, it would likely be slander per se...in which the only defense is "truth." I believe what I said was true. Hmph. haha. Who cares.
I have a leetle hole in my chin still. Could be worse. I know. I understand it's not contagious anymore since it stopped having..um.. slight issues with puss. Gross? Again..try having it on your face.
My pilot light went out. Again. I tried. It wont light. I'm not incompetent, but that little metal thing makes me want to....well.. do something crazy. Arg!
My newest obsession(s):
The massage chairs at the gym. I could sit in there for hours. Friends agree. They are amazing. It's like having a massage therapist with like 6 hands...slightly robotic hands...but you get it.
Gossip Girl. Again, last night, sooo good.. I actually repeated the "XOXO...Gossip Girl" trademark lingo out loud. Geez.
Finding cool nutcrackers for the holidays.
My new eyeliner. Mac. In the pot. Use an angled brush. It's awesome.
Colored, dot, different sized magnets from Target. They're like 1.99 in a box. They're fun. They're cute. They're magnets, people! I have a mangetized wall in my office, so these shall hold photos and I shall take pictures of my photo wall o fun. Be jealous.
Well, I started this blog more than an hr ago and have gotten crazy busy since then, so happy reading. :)

In honor of Jon Bon....
Here I am at the concert my 3rd year in law school.....Look how happy...Maybe it was the beer. I think it was Jon Bon. Whatever. :)
This was from the screen....a view of all the people who also LOVE JON BON!!! (of course)
I am SO euphoric right now.!! YES!
