Happy Birthday to Me!

When I walked into my cube today, there were streamers and confetti everywhere. And a cake (mmmmm). So that was a nice surprise. I didn't do anything tonight - I went to bed as soon as I got home, so now it's 12:30 and I'm pretty wide awake. It was a fine day, but definitely not a birthday to write home about or anything. This weekend should be fun though. And then I get to move in with my baby on Sunday, so that's an AWESOME birthday present.

I think I just saw Ice-T on a Coors Light commercial. Ice-T does not drink Coors Light.

I've always been a big fan of No Doubt. I didn't really become a big fan until Return of Saturn was released. I mean, I liked Tragic Kingdom but I generally thought "Don't Speak" was overplayed. Anyway, I always felt a little silly for saying they were one of my favorite bands, especially when Rock Steady came out. But I still loved them. I think all of them have a great dynamic with each other. They write some wonderfully simple songs and Gwen has a very pretty voice. And I forgave them for being on Dawson's Creek ( shudder ).

I also always made a point of saying that I liked THE BAND. Not just Gwen, but the entire band. Not saying that I didn't like Gwen. Very cute, very pretty voice, kinda cooky when I saw her in interviews but seemed very sweet. So when I heard she was putting out a solo album I was excited. I thought it would be interesting to see what she did outside of the band, knowing full well it would be a little of a departure from what I normally liked. I bought the CD and I liked it. It's fun and dancy and peppy.

Now, since she has come out as a solo artist she has been doing things that are a little odd. Like using Asian girls as accessories. And I've always liked her "funky" style (more so in the Tragic Kindgom and Return of Saturn phase, but whatever), but her "harijuku" style is a little over the top. But I forgave it. Still love Gwen. Then her outfits started getting more and more odd. It's okay, still love Gwen. And then I read somewhere she never wanted people to stop talking about her or something like that. Ooookkkkaaayyy...maybe she was being funny or something. Still love Gwen. Still sing along with her songs on the radio. Then I heard that she is refusing to go to the VMAs this year even though she is nominated for 6 awards. She is refusing to go because she was not asked to perform live. Okay. That's it. SHUT UP, GWEN. You put out a frickin dance album. Okay? You do not deserve to act like a GD diva. I was thinking so much about how my feelings toward her have changed so drastically when I heard that news on the radio, I missed my exit. I stood up for Hollaback Girl! Not anymore. From now on you will be known as SHUT UP, GWEN.

I've been kinda slacking at work lately - lots of internet surfing. But it all works out, because I happened upon this photo.


So cute!

Holy crap Jack Osborne! I didn't watch "The Osbornes" very much, but whenever I did he seemed like such a douche bag. (I really can't believe I just typed "douche bag.") And maybe his personality is the same, but damn, boy looks good. And we all know I've been able to look past a-hole personalities for good looking boys (Uberhot account rep most notably).

That being said, I love my boyfriend and would not cheat on him with Jack Osbourne. (But I have been given permission to hook up with Topher Grace if the chance presented itself, so CALL ME TOPHER!)

A Trip to the Iowa State Fair


Balls!


Dirrty!

Yes - I'm a bit immature. But I had fun last night! I ate a corn dogs, sweet potato fries, ice cream and half a funnel cake. And apparently I've somehow turned into Colleen, because drinking the smallest bit of alcohol makes me unable to walk straight and also really tired.

They had a petting zoo with pretty cool animals, not just your standard sheep and goats. Kangaroos, zebras, a giant tortoise. But the best was this little water buffalo. He was all fuzzy - and he let me spike his hair into a mohawk! I just know all the other buffalo were jealous. I took a picture but it's all fuzzy and doesn't do it justice. poo.

Speaking of poo - as soon as I got home last night I took a shower because I smelled like petting zoo real bad.

10 Days!

I have black polka dots on my underwear and YOU CAN SEE IT THROUGH MY SKIRT!
How did I not notice this while getting ready this morning?
Oi.

THREE WEEKS

Only THREE MORE WEEKS til I move! I'm SO SO SO SO SO SO SO excited. I'm getting really super antsy. Like, I just wish that it was this weekend instead. But it is still really cool to say that this weekend I'm going to FM, next weekend I'm visiting STL, then the weekend after that I'm moving. That really isn't that long of sentence! Even though it is a bit run-on. And Greg is borrowing his brother's truck the weekend I move so we don't have to worry about getting the big things down there anymore. And we'll take the big bowl to Coley that weekend, so we'll be visiting my old dorm room! How cool! Everything is going so well! (I shouldn't have said that - now the courtesan will fall in love with the penniless writer)

Other things going well:
I got my computer! It is fun and portable!
I watched "Dead Alive" this weekend. So very gory, but also so very funny.
A lady I talked to on the phone today at work really liked me and said I was great and helpful and called my manager to tell her so! Too bad I'm quitting!
I think I may try to visit Pheonix in the near future to see my fun friend Sarah!

It's really really quiet where I work. I could whisper and I bet pretty much everyone around me would hear it.

I saw this today. And I laughed really loud. Oops.

 

My new computer is coming! My new computer is coming!

According to UPS.com it will be here tomorrow! I'M SO EXCITED!
Poor Greg, I'll want to just play with my computer all weekend instead of him.

25 days til I'm a Missourian. I was going to put an exclamation point at the end of that sentence, but then I decided not to. I mean, I'M SO EXCITED, but when asked I'll have to say that I'm from Missouri. Huh. Do you know why they can't have driver's ed and sex ed on the same day at Missouri schools? Because they only have one mule. HA!

Okay, I'm done.

Clothes WHORE

I've always known that I have a lot of clothes. Especially since I had moved to Des Moines, I've increased my collection probably 200% or something. But this weekend, I realized that I have way too many clothes. (I can't believe I just typed that - is there really such a thing as "too many" clothes?) I have around 10 big shopping bags and a large suitcase filled with clothes that I'm taking back to Montrose to let the girls rummage through before giving everything else away. That being said, I still have almost my entire closet filled with clothes. And a small suitcase, 2 large shopping bags and one really big box filled with sweaters that I'm taking to St. Louis. I have a feeling once I get down there I'm going to have to get rid of more stuff because I can't imagine it all fitting in the closet. Sob.
