'give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which i desire'

nothing like a fuel crisis to make you realize how many gas stations you pass on the way home - 8!

i just marveled at the crazies that made my pilgrimage home last twice as long as it should.

for real people we are not going to run out of gas:

'alright stop, colaborate and listen'

'ice is back with a brand new invention'

ok folks - i shall be on vacation until 9/9. so no updates until then. but when i get back hopefully i will have stories/thoughts/pictures to share.

have a great first nine days of september.

sunglasses holder fairy?

i came back from lunch to find the following on my desk:


*****4:40pm update - it is still there and getting increasingly disturbing by the second

i am such the playa'. . .

and totally pimp

co-worker: 'your boyfriend was here yesterday'
me: 'which one?'
co-worker: proceeds to answer like this was a totally ligit question and like i was not joking in the least.

i'm just sayin'

for some ungodly reason last night i reorganized my makeup and nail polish.

conclusion: i have far more eye shadow than the law should allow

but, do i need them?

i am comteplating these:






one pair is $14.95 and the other 3 are $9.99

thinking

i cannot, as it turns out, remember whether i q-tipped my ears this morning.

and then there is this:

CANCER
Tuesday, August 30, 2005
Something very sensual could happen today; a sudden rush of desire or pleasure will overtake you. Enjoy the point in the universe where your body and spirit become one, today is a gift from the stars to you.

oh yea - here is a weird machine at my work:

'i got so many rocks in my chain and watch'

i don't know how many of you are aware of it but there is a battle for the worst song of the year. . . so far the battle is between 'my humps' by the black eyed peas and 'icy' by gucci mane. they are equally horrible but i think 'icy' will win for worst cause you can at least dance to 'my humps'

'i am a failure from top to bottom'

have you ever noticed that just when you feel like things are better - everyone else seems to fall apart? it must be so that we can help one another. if you can get them to let you.

'yeah! quit egging me on'

last night i walked in the rain - i haven't done that in forever and it felt good, i was only concerned that my ipod would get messed up, 'cause i am excellent at that - and stuff.

why do they put the sticker right in the middle of the lemon - so you are forced to remove it before cutting it. damn produce stickers!

btw my dyslexia is working overtime today - my words are missing letters.

eekkk!! i forgot to include my pictures from the weekend.

we were having a contest at the bar

tracy and had the best one - natrually

traffic & rain on friday

more of it

i was trying to get the moon - it was so purty

i liked how th lights swirled

no, the camera was not drunk

retraction

dear lord - someone help me. i have downloaded not one but 2 mariah carey songs, i usually cannot stand her but i love these two:
shake it off
we belong together

the weird thing is - they are total opposite songs, hhmm

other things i downloaded the other day:
kelly clakson - 'walk away'
qwen stefani - 'cool'
gorillaz - 'feel good inc.'

that last one makes me shake my ass and constantly think my cell phone is ringing.

i need to have a retraction about my pen - turns out there was a faulty bit of the paper that was not allowing the pen to ink it. so it was the paper and not my awesome pen. . . sorry.

so, like - so much for resturant week

i passed, i passed, i passed!!!! i took the first half of the mcdst test this morning and i freaking passed!!!!!!! i am super extremely excited. thanks to josh for his study tips and everyone for believing i could do it, cause, like, i wasn't so sure.

here are my notes:

here are my results: it's on the internet, so it must be true

my mom says i am half all microsoftie

so friday was all about being taken out to eat for things i was, in no way, in the mood for - but life goes on. we went out friday night for drinks for tracy bday and we all sitting around listening to the jukebox and then 'wonderwall' by oasis came on and we all broke out in singing - like, full on emotionally invested singing - it was pretty funny.

saturday - bank, shopping, food, penquin movie. life lesson learned saturday: be nice to people because you never know when they might be nice to you. i was trying to get to moe's, i was starving, behind this lady that i was cussing 'cause she was driving too slow. we both pull in to moe's i jump out of my car and get make it to the door first - try and beat her. order my food, go to pay and pull out my punch card thing. and the lady behind me says - i forgot my card at home so go ahead and give her my punches - with the addtional punches i ended up getting my next meal free. how nice was she - especially since i was putting out such nasty vibes about her. i felt like a big ass. so i spent the rest of the day thinking of ways i could be nicer and more patient.

sunday - pool, more shopping, yard work, grocery store. sunday was all about the struggle between being a good friend and how you do that. intervene or support - can you do both? when you see someone not doing enough for themselves and you love them - how do you help? what do you say? how do you say it? sunday was a very long depressing day for me. i don't even like sunday's to begin with.

'jesus was on vacation'

where does he go? and what does he need a computer for anyhow. i am preparing to take the mcdst test and it is not going so well

as it turns out

not

at

all


however, for my amusement there are all sorts of cooky scenarios that are described in the questions. when jesus went on vacation - all sorts of havoc was wreaked for his co-worker cathie, i am sure you can imagine.


coffeemate - and apparently i can do nothing but spill it.


you can't really tell from this picture but this car had mad spinnas yo.

observation of the day

my purse smells like chicken

'hit me up, tradeplus.com. . .

and tell me where you from'

i have razors on the brain - i just must.

i needed more and i couldn't find the ones i prefer to use so i bought others. well, i hate them. i am not exactly the world's best shaver to begin with but with subpar razors. . . forget about it. so this problem is manifesting itself in my dreams - last night i dreamed i found an old pkg of the good ones and there were still a few left.

so

to do:
1 - find razors pronto and immediately

uugghhh

i have been working on this list post and it is taking forever so here are random things.

saturday katie and i took mom to high tea at the ritz downtown - it was wonderful.

katie's cherry purse

the aftermath

here is a pimpmobile i saw - that or zz top

me taking a picture of the traffic camera taking a picture of me


17 days!!!!!

voice mail

i could not agree more with the first portion of this

distracted

good grief - i have sex on the brain today.

plus more

this thing needs serious re-vamping

trust me, i know

p.s.

i totally left the '1' in for katie

21 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!1

the countdown is closing in on vacation and the start of football season!!! i can't friggin' wait for either.

i have been in a training class for the past 3 days and i was the teacher's pet. i ended sitting in the very first desk and the teacher leaned on my monitor the whole time (way annoying) and repeatedly told me that i look 18 - i so do not look 18. then he was all upset that i wasn't taking the 2nd class that would have been today and tomorrow. i had quite enough of him. anyway, i did learn a lot.

so, what else?

not sure - i feel like i have been away from work for weeks and have been having work people dreams - so bizarre.


hhhmm, what else?

damn - there must be something.

'you need a fish'

i swear, this week as flown. i had all these hilarious things i wanted to post but i promptly forgot them. that is just how awesome i am.

i just kicked todays sudoku classic's ass in like 7 minutes. in your face july 12th!

27 days!!!!

tomorrow is my grandmother's birthday

i am far too addicted to sudoku classic to bother with blogging. obviously

also, i am very concerned with the ratio of products in my hair today. i am currently in the process of finding a new leave-in conditioner and with the new stuff today and my antifrizz stuff - it is just odd today and not drying very well.

weekend review. . .
friday: wedding crashers was hilarious, i have never seen my mom laugh so loud. vince is hysterical.

saturday: dinner was good, drinks were good, company was good.
on the way to my sister's apartment i was behind these people and the guy in the jeep got out of his car, undid his pants, tucked in his shirt, redid his pants and got back in his jeep. dude - get a parking lot.

then at dinner i had gnoochi - here are some pics.
our wine in cold water

this humungeous bite katie took of her spaghetti

scott's um, food - i don't know what he got but it had mushrooms

a paper doilie folded and stuck in scott's pocket to look like. . .um, i don't know what

katie's coffee for some reason

waiter - there is a bubble in scott's port and some weirdo white spot

my grasshopper


all of these pictures are slightly dark and blurry for your tuesday viewing pleasure

this is what happens when you fall asleep w/your lipstick on and take a picture of yourself driving home the next morning


i look so odd in the picture - like a turtle

sunday: family birthday for kit-kat plus - monster headache and homestarrunner viewingness.

rabbit!

so, i was going to take pictures yesterday at my sister's family b-day dinner but i was out of card and did not have my cord to download. so i told katie to bring her camera but we took 2 w/hers and then she ran out of cord. so then i went to transer them today and it is out of battery. cannot win for losing today.

anyway, the weekend update and picture extravaganza shall have to wait until tomorrow.
