"That's an outstanding idea. Let me get back to you."

- my phrase of the day.

Anyway, check out this awesome pic of the new stadium! GO TU!

I've had a long day. Filled with some frustration. But, its ending well and that's all that matters! And luckily.. frustration had NOTHING to do with the new carrrrrrrrrrr I'm getting ready to drive home!! :) YEEEAAAYY!! :)

See this?

Yeah, THIS IS MY NEW CAR!!!!!!

I went after work...alone...determined to drive it and talk price b/c I am/was so tired of shopping, haggling, dealing, getting upset, etc. I likely make it such a bigger deal than it needs to be. But, I got a great price on a great car and I'm happy. That's all that matters. AND I did it by myself (If you take away the numerous *slight* temper issues, frustration, and a few tears with those who've helped me (Eric). Oh and I had assistance via cell phone. Duh). And this is my first car since 2003! haha!

I may have buyers remorse, so I'm just gonna go ahead and list all the things wrong with my other car....Well wait...not yet... but I will tomorrow.. Writing them out will make me feel better after I go over to the credit union for paperwork...haha.. 

Anyway, yay Ford Edge Limited!! 

Again, I may have buyers remorse...so....only positive comments allowed. If you prefer hummers, hondas, horseback....save it for a little bit before you tell me. Gracias. xxoo. 

AND OMG.. How good was GG tonight?! The Chuck story made me happy inside. HAPPY. INSIDE. Blair is gonna kick.some.ass. "I need to wait for my moment and I'm going black ops... Off the radar.. No accountability"-Blair. AWESOME. Bitchy Blair is my fav! Havent watched the Bachelor yet b/c it took me 4.5 hours to decide on and buy said car. And... I'm exhausted. Spending large sums of money makes me feel like I've run a marathon.. ya know.. if I did things like that.... haha.. ;) 

And finally.. HAPPY INAUGURATION DAY!!! 

Hilarity Ensues....

I dont like posting videos b/c they take up a ton of room. But, dude... GO WATCH THIS. BAH HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Really?!

Approximately 1/4 thing of rat poison- amount my mom reported Gracie "could" have eaten

5 minutes- time it took for me to calm down. (I was a little miffed)

10 minutes- time it took to go get G money

3 websites- all it took before I freaked out 

20- amount of minutes before I was sitting at Woodland West

Convo with Dr. Mike Jones (his name is Mike Jones..awesome) and 60 dollars later made me feel better. We treated her as though she'd ingested the poison, but thankfully it wasn't the kind that is immediately fatal. BUT, the reaction to rat poison might not show up for 10.days. AND it causes internal bleeding. slowly. :( This one is reversed in dogs by taking Vitamin K, so that's what she's on. Better safe than sorry. What an evening! 

Seeing her at the vet's is amusing, though...I hold her and she puts one paw on either side of my neck and holds on for dear life. I'm serious. You'd crack up if you saw it. She puts her head on one shoulder almost as if she's hiding her face, shakes, and digs her feet into my shoulders until I pry her off to put her on the table. It's ridiculously pathetic and cute at the same time. 

Most importantly, she's okay. But what an evening. When I have children, I pity their pediatrician. *sigh* haha... 

Thug Life ("should I add 4- eva?") ;)

Week=stressful. Weekend=goooooood.

1. Friday night pizza and drinks at Stonehorse with Laura and Sara. :) Yum. Any place that has peanut m&ms at the bar rocks my world. (And their pizzas are amazzzing.. as is most everything else there). Ran into my favorite Mary, too! (Love you, MML) :)

2. Saturday, baby shower bonanza for Sarah :) See the cute photo I made them do? See it? Yeah. Adorable. 

Here's how Sat went....in this order. 

* YUMMY breakfast/brunch with Eric at Wild Fork. (Best OJ in Tulsa. Hands down.) They have zoo art on the walls...like art that the zoo animals made. Best ever:

Eric: "I wouldnt pay $300 dollars for that."

Me: *turning around and looking* "It says it goes to the zoo.."

Eric: "It looks like a cat did it.. Wait.. it DID (seeing pic of cat-like animal walking on it with paint on paws)..Is that poop?"

Me: "sick. *cringe*I think it's...food in with the paint.. I think.."

Eric: "It could be poop. It's above your head. Sick. *laughter*" 

* He volunteered to get a gift with me at Babies R Us on the way to look at a couple cars. We made it a quick trip, but had time to play with vibrating baby chairs, make a joke about the gigantor baby faces on the signs inside store (scary!), break the gift registry system for a minute (oops), contemplate why it's called a diaper "genie," and take this photo. LOL! 

From there, went to look at cars. More details to follow. Keep reading. 

Got to shower. Took cute pictures. Nater Tot was featured in a lot of them b/c everything he does is photo worthy. Just sayin. It is. 

Enjoyed wine, fruit (from a watermelon baby carriage crafted by Brooke) and signed a photo frame for baby Lucia....

..and maybe Kat/Brooke drew on the baby inside the frame.. Maybe. And maybe I said his hat should read "thug life" maybe. And maybe we also made Sarah take a pic with it. I love my friends. Love. haha! 

Good shower. Good times. Good friends. :) 

I ended up at ITR for dinner..where some of the group played Uno. Yes. They did. (See Caleb and Craig). 

Ended up stopping in Vintage to hang with Blaze, Sarah, Andrew, Kari, Justin, Josh, etc etc etc (it was a large table... gimme a break with the "etcs") before heading home. :)

All in all, good weekend. Not looking super forward to starting the work week. It's been SO busy for me lately.  Whine Whine Whine. I know. In other news, I think I like a Ford Edge I found. I also think (much like my friends at the shower said about baby names) I'm going to either stop telling people what Im thinking about til I've made a firm decision...or ignore their input about cars. I know people have opinions about American cars, but I think I could really like it...and it doesnt help when someone responds with "Ford? Really? Oh." Shove it up your ass. (not "your" but the person who said that...haha). 

Good to see everyone this weekend!! Bracing for Monday.... 

Things that make you go...hmmm.....

"Thanks for the add." Dude. That's weird. Don't write that on my fb page. It's strange.

The ads for At The Beach featuring a cartoon Donatella Versace. Has anyone else seen recent pictures of her?! I dont wanna look like that and jeez.us, I hope you dont either. Sick. 

That's all. For now. 

Kudos to Duane for the new banner. :) I cant get it to work right on the right side, but that's likely b/c I'm technologically retarded.

Things I dont want to do:

* pack

* clean

* take Gracie to mom's

* run errands

Hmph. Sooo... I'm going to do all the above, but I'm not happy about it. Just sayin. Oh and check out this funny photo of G money wearing my glasses. She was trying to sleep and wasnt happy that I was effing with her. hahahaha! I'm easily entertained. :)

I dont know if I like having a pic of me on the side. Will contemplate. Also, funniest thing ever... Re Beyonce: "She may not wanna put a ring on it, but she might need some spanx on it." LOL! I love E! Love it. 

Hump Day Happenings

Alright, so I dont have lip cancer. (Duh). But, you know what's awesome, DCT..
That's what's awesome. Buy it. Try it. Love it. And it's in a pot. That's so much cooler than a tube. More germy, too.. yum.

While I'm on product reviews, Aveda's hand relief is incredible!! I always buy it in the winter and forgot this year... Thankfully, Eric hooked me up along with some other awesome stuff for Christmas.. woo hoo! We all know how much I HATE dry skin. HATE.IT.

Anyway, I was SO.TIRED. yesterday. I went home and binged on sleep.. (think 5:30-9ish). Yeah. My apartment is a DIS.AS.TER. I have to clean it tonight since I'm leaving town tomorrow. Blah. Ever since I fell and broke my back, I have a fear that I'm gonna need someone to come in my apt when it's messy like this. (It was clean when I broke my back...except for a bra Gracie had lovingly removed from the hamper and littered the living room floor with at some point before I fell. Ugh. Whatever.)

This weekend, I think I am going to drive a Ford Edge and a Murano. From there, I'm going to assign the car dealers to find me one of whichever I want.. in black. I'm tired of this. I'm done. Psssht.

And, I have also found my calling.

Dude.. I missed the TU/Memphis game yesterday, but I hear it was kinda awesomesauce. I mean.. we didnt win, but we ALMOST won!!! GO TU! Chips.and.sal.sa (Lets go Tulsa!).

I'm sure I'll find something to rant about later. Just wanted to blog before my day got insane per usual as of late. Set your dvr.. Lost is on tonight, beeotches. I get to resume fantasizing about Sayid being my personal bodyguard. Yum. Speaking of fantasizing, I had a dream that I was in a bike race...through the mall. What? I won.. (duh, it was in a mall). But, what does THAT mean? *sigh* Whatev.

I would like to praise the below... What is it? Oh.. it's just a picture of the BEST CANDY IN THE WORLD! 

Haribo peaches. I may or may not have purchased a pound of said candy before seeing Valkyrie the other night. Dont judge me. Just go buy them. (candy stores only. for serious consumers. thank you).  Just tape it to my ass, people. That's what Nard's for...

Also, personal fav.. the high school kid after Valkyrie who said "Dude. I cant believe I paid to see a FAILED attempt.." Um, hey.  This might come as a shock...but the Germans did not overthrow Hitler. Sorry to ruin the movie. Wow. Jackass.  

Dude, GG was "eh" tonight. I like Dan and Serena. Like it. Dont like Chuck this episode. So predictable. Disappointing. Twist on the adoptive parents being crazytown. The Bachelor=HOTT. HOTT. HOTT. And I still love Melissa. Sorry if you don't. My blog. My pick. Ha! Annnd finally The City. Every time I see Olivia's dirty looks, I think of the movie Shallow Hal..and think she'd be the shriveled up nurse who is actually a hottie. You know who I'm talking about if you've seen the movie. I think she's evil. Officially.

It only took me about a month....

...to peruse online layouts, select one, update the blog...and decide I just want it to be white and delete the new code from the website I'd found. Yeah. Whatever. Maybe my crazy pills make me indecisive, too. 

I'm watching the re-airing of the Golden Globes fashion show thing. I like watching Juliana Rancic (sp?) interview stars that are out of their minds drunk (or at least a little buzzed) to see if she can adequately cover it up in the interview... Enjoy it. 

I called a new gym today to ask about personal training. This is what transpired..

Me: "Can I talk to someone about personal training packages?"

Them: "Sure, lemme transfer you to Nard.." 

Me: *thinking.. Nard? That cant be right...Okay* "Okay, thanks."

Them: "This is Nard..."

Me: *giggling, confident Im not hearing him right...* "Just wanted to check on your personal training packages..:

Nard (we're just going with that): "Okay, well, depends...How much training do you need?"

Me: *OMG.. Is he asking me if I need to be airlifted from my house? He so is!*

Conversation ensued. I think I'll pop in this week to see if I like the facilities. I guess you get three free personal training sessions when you join! But, I dont know if I want to join. I'd rather stay at my gym and just get trained at this one... I hope Nard is my trainer. We already have that whole humor thing going.. Well, I do. He says his name. I laugh. It works. 

Warning: This post is about birth control. Read at your own risk.

Dude. There's something I'm totally realizing... I think my birth control is making me crazy. Okay, not really crazy....but seriously.. Around that "time," I am an emotional disaster. I dont get all weepy so much, but rather just so touchy it's unreal. And snappy. And and and and... Well, I never used to get like that on my former pill, but that one gave me incredible headaches, so I had to switch.. (Well, that and I had two close friends get serious blood clots on it).

I dont *feel* moody per se...but I AM. I mean REALLY moody. I dont even realize I'm acting abnormally until I'm like "what the hell is my problem?" and I cant answer it with anything worthy of my mood.. haha.. And we know that's a big deal b/c I can rationalize anything. :)

So, after I starting thinking back to recent "episodes," (aka Jax=super bitch) I realized I had been (1) drunk and (2) during that "time" ....when I lost my sh*t. Okay, so I had originally thought it was just the drinking...but I dont think it is... at all actually. I rarely drink to the excess and I've since been toasty and been a pleasant, giggly person like normal. And I can recall some serious moodiness even without the wine.. 

So, then I started researching..

There are message boards after message boards about women with moodiness from bc pills. So, I started researching OTHER pills in an attempt to switch... Most of the other ones seem WORSE than mine! WTF?! And there are tons of complains about lack of sex drive. What?! Um... I dont think a birth control pill should prevent pregnancy by making you not want sex...haha.. I guess it accomplishes the goal, but seriously. Lamesauce. Basically, I think the whole thing blows....

And I ripped the heel thing off my boot. That's not fun either. Hmph. (Just wanted to get all the complaining into one blog). ;) 

Different is good

-Wasnt that Arby's slogan a few years ago? Anyway...I'm sitting here on my sofa.. BLAH. I am itching to do something different and fun and something that would allow some desperately needed unwinding from a rather loooong week before another long one starts (meetings, etc). Frustrated. Tulsa offers limited things esp when I kinda just wanna hop in the car and go...I dunno...camping or dancing or horseback riding (Those are just what I thought of. Dont tease.) I'm in the mood to do something spontaneous and alas...here I am. *cranky face* I get like this sometimes....blah.....I'm going to the gym. I suppose that's "different" from my norm...haha. Hmph.
