Yo yo yo yo baby pops..yeah you...come and give me a kiss...

- Yeah. Dont ask. It's in my head. I dunno.

Went to happy hour last night and got BLASTED. haha.. Kidding. Definitely not in the mood for that nor is my back. I did, however, have a glass of wine. Yum. I think that's where I need to stay. One glass of wine or so. :)

Ran into a friend at happy hour with cute hair. She just cut it not too long ago. After conversing about hair longer than anyone should at a happy hour while others look on, I told her I was printing a picture of her and taking it with me to my stylist. hahahaha. Please note: Picture printed from facebook and sitting on my desk. Serious.

Grey's made me bawl like a baby last night. I mean..geez... I always get extra sensitive and kinda weird the week before my little visitor (TMI, well..sorry but it's my blog and this should serve as your warning..haha..), but add an elderly couple all in love....then KILL ONE OF THEM OFF and I'm gonna bawl. Gonna. Then, segway from the elderly couple to Denny and I continued the cryfest. Lord. My dog looked at me like "Seriously?"

So, I want skinny jeans and boots. Will they look good on me (the jeans, that is)? TBD. But, I shall find out tomorrow. I'm looking REALLY forward to a Sat morning of Jax- a hair appt early morning (TOO early for a Saturday) then, I should be done about the time stores open so if I feel like it, might go try on some cutetastic skinny jeans and boots before the weekend crowds hit. Or...and maybe more likely..I'll roll out of bed, barely make my hair appt, get done, go home put on makeup, then head out for the day. lol! Whatever.

So...you know what I HATE buying but is a necessity? Nude bras. I hate them. They look like big bandaids. Can't ya add some lace? Make it fun? Damnit. *Sigh* Anyway, I hate them so much that I accidentally ruined mine (washed it with something red) and I've just been avoiding wearing cream/white for awhile. hahaha.. Serious. Invested in a bandaid yesterday. Ugh. Stupid.

Alright. My ranting is done. Hope you have a fabulous weekend!!! If I dont chicken out...and I like the result, I'll post pics of the haircut! xoxo!

I just wanted some chicken.

I'm unmotivated today. I think you all are unmotivated, too, considering the lack of blogging and commenting going on. I think I stayed up too late watching election coverage.

I find myself a fence-sitter on a lot of issues....I'm a liberal republican...or a conservative democrat. Do I agree with everything Barack stands for? No. Do I agree with all of what McCain stands for? No. Do I even like Sarah Palin? No. hahaha....

Anyway, I was pleased with the win last night and think this is going to be a monumental time for our country. Watching that sea of people at Grant Park was simply amazing. Chatting online, I said "This is better than a rock concert!" hahahaha!

I thought his speech was outstanding. I wasnt in tears or anything, but I thought he spoke like a President last night...and that made me very proud.

Dude. Now I change the subject a little. I was just at the mall. I have this "I'm bored with myself" thing right now which makes me want to go buy things. It's unhealthy really..b/c I.never.find.anything. Anyway...after my unfulfilling trip, I headed to chick fil a in the food court before heading back....

Me: I'd like a number 5.
Bubbly 20 year old: Okay....Can you believe the election last night?
Me: Yeah...
Her: I cant believe that man won. Our country is in TROUBLE. He's gonna ruin it.
Me: Hmm....*not meeting eye contact with her pretending to look through my purse*
Her: I didnt even VOTE. I'm not even registered actually, but I wouldnt have voted for him.
Me: *thinking...dontsayit...dontsayit...she's 20...she works at chickfila...be nice...youll piss off everyone in line...* Hmm...*polite smile*
Her: I cant even imagine what's going to happen...
Me: Can I have ketchup?

Okay, seriously...herein lies my annoyance. I didnt say anything b/c I'm not in the mood nor would it be worth my time anyway. BUT, if you are UNINFORMED enough to believe the President can singlehandedly RUIN our country, I'm glad you're not registered to vote, you moron. Ever heardofa CONGRESS? Whatcha think they do, oh opinionated one holding my chicken? You think they just sit there and have a fashion show? Maybe try on those old George Washington wigs for shits n giggles? Who declares war? Go read the Constitution, Article I, Section 8, my chicken friend. Can the PRESIDENT singlehandedly do much of ANYTHING? Not really. I mean..he's got some awesome veto power. But Congress can even overturn THAT. *Sigh* He's a rockstar with some serious duties and power...but alone...he's not gonna take your chicken away from you, mall girl.

Whew. Stepping down from my soapbox now *straightening outfit and pulling myself together*

At least the chicken was good. Whatever.

This just in

..and unrelated to voting:

A democracy at work

I'm tired of the ads.
I'm tired of the signs.
I'm tired of the chatter.

But, gah, I love voting. I havent gone today yet, but I cant wait! It just feels so empowering, ya know. I love that we're having record turn outs this year. LOVE.IT. To say it doesnt matter....it's just not even an argument I could entertain. I make jokes n stuff, but really... to not vote...is just completely and totally lazy and not American. Do I think the ads are excessive? Yes. Do I think spending frivilous money on campaigns that could be better placed elsewhere is dumb? Yes. But..it is what it is and doesnt undermine the actual process' goal.

Anyway, before I get on my soapbox too much, GO.VOTE.

AND..also HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MARY TODAY!!!!!!! HOORAY!!!!

Stuff.

So, someone is giving out sex toys for the vote (See Perez), Starbucks is giving out coffee, KrispyKreme is doing something... I love that businesses are getting involved! But, I also love that it's almost.over. I was sad to hear about Barack's grandma...wow.

At any rate, have you voted?! GO.NOW.

Uh, in other news...When did Kate Winslet get hot?? I mean..you can argue she was hot in Titanic, but really..the below pic is HAUTE. Likely airbrushed, but whatever. You'd let someone airbrush you, dont lie.

Why does "fashion designer" = "heroin addict look" on GG? Seriously. Also, Vanessa needs to get a life. She's not that cute. She's not that interesting. And she's whiney. And Rufus...Rufus needs to stop being an asshole.

And Heidi finally got fired from her job on The Hills. hahahaha. Awesome. But, it's not like it was real anyway. I mean... "Gee, you can have the job! MTV will be filming here then, right? Okay..job's yours." Exactly.

Alright. Stop reading. VOTE. GO. NOW.

XOXO!

Holy hell, it's already November?!

Dude. When did it become November?!

Why do I not own any cute flat shoes? (I still cant wear heels)

Woke up an hour earlier than planned. Why?! Oh, b/c in my genius, I forgot to set my bedroom clock back...not any of my other ones..just the bedroom. Anyway, I had enough time to get my co workers bagels for being so awesomesauce during my bone breakage issues.

Anyhoo... tired.of.political.ads. They're EVERYWHERE! Streets this, economy that. Blah blah blah. The economy sucks. The streets suck..and none of YOU PEOPLE are going to change that. But, I'll still vote in my 20something idealistic perception that you, Ms./Mr. Candidate, have the power to change it all single-handedly. Good luck with that.

So, I was on urban dictionary playing and lookie what I found:

law school

1) A place where stoners and alcoholics can get a graduate degree.
2) An institution where starry eyed idealists have their dreams of upholding justice and benefiting humanity heartlessly destroyed while incurring more debt than a third world country. These poor souls, after three years of brutal Socratic torture and exposure to the cruel reality of the broken justice system and the non-existent job market, come out of law school stoners or alcoholics.

My favorite TU fan...

TU might have kinda choked at AR today...but we still love them.. and when I say "we," I mean me...AND Gracie. :)

Please see a very happy-to-be-home, freshly groomed Gracie modeling my new TU scarf I mentioned below.



They gave her some "pumpkin" package or something.. which basically translates to 20 bucks extra with a weird cinnamon pumkin smelling dog at the end. Whatever.

Hope everyone had a great Halloween!! I did...even thought I didnt go to any parties...But, I'm feeling tons better and I have my doggie back! :)

Jax 1, Gatorade ZERO!

Thank you for contributing to my hair insanity. I shall decide soon. I'm just tired of mine. Ever get like that? That's a dumb question. I know we all get like that. The color is just "eh" and isnt doing anything for my skin tone. I need to commit to either darker or lighter and go with it. I think I might be more tired of the style than the color in all honesty.

Anyway, this morning, I wanted gatorade. Those f*ckers put those caps on SO TIGHT. I tried EVERYTHING. Finally, I took a large knife and stabbed it through the cap and poured it into a cup. Ha. Bastards. I'll show you who wins. Hmph.

Yesterday was harder on me than I thought. I got home and passed.out. for three hours. Ridic. Woke up in time to see Private Practice and Top Design. Neither disappointed. Addison got laid. It's about time. Speaking of tv, are you tired of the Callie/Dr. Hahn story line on Grey's? I am. I mean..look.. I dont care about the lesbian story line..AT ALL. I think I'm just bothered that the story line is almost intended for shock value. They have to focus on the abnormality of it all and it gets so old. It's like "oooh how can we make the new lesbians shock everyone this week?!" Old.

So, this hasnt been formalized yet, but looks like I get to do a developmental opportunity at work! I get to help out with some legislative stuff while someone's on maternity leave. Like I said, not finalized yet, but pretty cool, right?! :)

My co worker and friend, Van, got me the most kick ass TU scarf, people! It's blue and gold striped and I think I shall wear it around the office. Look for a photo soon.

I'm still bummed that my costume isnt gonna get any play this year. *sigh* I guess I should send it back. I wonder what the return policy is. I bet I could make someone feel badly for me. Eh? Likely.

Kinda got pressured into a Mary Kay makeover thing tonight. I'll let you know how it goes. I guess I could always use more lip gloss and an eye makeup remover or something. Whatev.

EXAMPLES!

Part of this is b/c I really wanted to do a poll b/c Carrie always does them and I think they're fun. LOL! Honestly, I dont think I have any idea what I'm gonna do and it will be a decision on the day...depending how I feel. You see, this is how I make decisions. I toss it around...mention it...toss it around...then actually do something about it. *shrug* Whatev! :)


But, hey.. vote anyway b/c it's fun! LOL! (and uh, the people who already commented rock my socks off! This isnt b/c I'm ignoring you...but more b/c I'm bored and want to create a poll...lol..hahaha! I do agree and think I might be more comfy as a blonde today. Tomorrow? Who knows.)

I think I need a weekly poll. I shall adopt this.

Okay, dont judge the style (thats a WHOLE different matter) in the pics...but we've got...

Blonde.....prolly around this color, maybe a little darker actually.

or brown... likely around this color. Its the same color (pics were only weeks apart) but I like the way it looks in the white dress better.. Hmm..

poll by twiigs.com

Live, from my DESK!

I'm at work! YAY! I came in late and am leaving early (so I shouldnt be blogging, huh), but I'm here! Feels good to be back in my chair...in my office...ahh..

Anyway, of the many things I determined, I determined to change my hair once and for all. I dont have my appt til next weekend, but....here are my mental options.

I'm bored, so I want something sassier. I feel like short hair can be "cute" and well..I dont want to be "cute." I prefer sexy, sophisticated, sassy.. ya know.. those words. Much better than "cute."

That said:
1. Going shorter and browner. Either Ashley Tisdale shorter (aka only a couple inches) with a different style to it or actually REALLY shorter like just above my shoulders.
2. Going shorter and blonder. In this event, I will likely go above my shoulders like this.

So, if I go browner, I dont think I'd go AS short. I dunno. I've had three votes for browner and shorter, but I am still thinking blonder and shorter. There's just something I love about being blonde...

Why is this such a hard decision? Wow. Okay, now vote.

I just cant wait to get on the road again..

See what Joy brought me! My mom's balloon behind Joy's. But she got me the cuteness that deserved photo lovin. :) Yeah, I put my sunglasses on the bear. Today got boring, people. I'm sorry.. It just did. I pity my children someday. You know they'll have sunglasses. Please ignore the bamboo plant I managed to kill. I'm still watering it. I live in denial, people.

Below please see a photo I took last week:

My cookie bouquet and muffins and cookies Jenny n Brooke brought me. The casserole is not featured and many muffins are missing. Buuut you get the gist.

So I didnt drive today. Whatever. But, I DID go to the mall (I made Dennis take me) and I got some fun new makeup and a couple cute sweaters (I had a fastcash coupon at express). HOORAY! I cant decide if I like the makeup. I got the Lancome dual finish powder. Been wanting to try it and Joy recommended so I just went for it. But, it has a strong smell.. kinda perfumy... TBD on whether it'll stick. Sephora lets you return. So who knows!

Gonna seriously go to work tomorrow b/c I cannot.sit.on.my.sofa.another day. I'm gonna take it easy.. dont worry.. But, if I feel up to it, I'm GOING!

Alright, I need to drug myself now and go to sleep. XOXO. Love you guys!

Kung Foo Surgeon freaks me out

Dude. I've been working from home. Dr. Rey on Dr. 90210 kinda freaks me out that he does kung foo in between surgeries in his scrubs. He's a weirdo. But, I'll tell ya... I'd let him do my boobs. Cause I think he's good. And watching 90210 all day makes me think I need my boobs done..ya know..post children. So, maybe in like 10 years? haha! While I'm SO HAPPY for you pregnant chicas out there and cant WAIT to shower you with adorable little baby shoes, hats, blankets, etc...I definitely dont have babies on the brain. I think "babies?....I guess I'd get a boob job afterwards..." Yeah. See. LOL! I forget you have to have em done every 10 years...crazy right? Not babies..but boobs... Wow. Anyway, you get it.

So, last night, I thought "F*ck pain meds! I havent taken them ALL day! I dont need em!" BAD.IDEA. I had a HORRIBLE night. I finally took one too many pain meds at 7am and was comical on my 10 am conference call. I think I told my co workers I was a badass. I caught myself, but seriously. Good Gawd. I then proceeded to pass out til 1pm. I'm doing better now. haha..

So, Joy rocks my socks off! She brought me FLOWERS last night in an adorable little teddy bear in a blue (TU) cheering outfit!! She also brought me a balloon! I love it! I hadnt seen her in forever, but thanks to blogger, it felt like yesterday. I mean..really. The internet is amazing. It really felt like we'd been hanging out this whole time! Anyway, I took pics but am charging my camera so I can post them later tonight. :) My mom got me some funny cards and balloons, too and they'll be featured!

Guess what's on tonight!!! The Great Pumpkin CHARLIE FRIGGIN BROWN!! Dvr it, people. :)))

Well, I need to get some more work done. Goal today: drive. I shall attempt this mission later. Hopefully.
