Sometimes…

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

…you just want to rip off all your clothes and jump right in. Or at least that’s how I feel right now. The weather has been much cooler lately so it’s actually enjoyable to be outside. Don’t get me wrong it’s still hot out, but it’s livable. I want to get in the pool so bad but I know the water is cold. Such hard decisions in life!

I feel like I’ve eaten the entire buffet and then some at Golden Corral! I haven’t though; hell I wouldn’t be caught dead at a Golden Corral. We went to Firehouse Subs for lunch today, and to anyone who hasn’t tried it, you are truly missing out. The subs are delicious, and their “medium sub” is more filling without chips than Subway’s six inch meal. It isn’t much more in price either.

Bailey was being extra cute this morning cuddling with Billy. I wish he would do that with me, but I’m not his “mommy”. I do love him though. Him and Loki are my babies. Plum is just Grand-pa kitty since he’s so much older.

Tomorrow I have to call the Postal Service and open a claim since they’ve lost a package. I called last week and they said I had to wait 14 days of the tracking information being outdated before they would do anything (even though on their website it said after 7 postal days). I’m mad, but not overly pissed since the package was free to begin with. It’s my free iPhone case from Apple. Don’t get me wrong I want it, I’m just not as mad as if I had actually paid for it.

There was something it seems that I wanted to mention, but I just can’t remember what it was. Oh well if it comes to me I’ll just do an edit and add it in. Later guys, love ya!

Grand Theft Billy

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

Ever since beating Super Mario Bros. on the Wii, Billy has been digging through my video games looking for something else to conquer. Never did I think he’d pick Grand Theft Auto. It’s cute how he was hell bent on playing the game without using cheat codes, and as soon as I left the room when he was having trouble with a mission he miraculously beat it. Closer inspection reveals cheats now listed in his virtual cellphone.

After praising myself so well in my last post I’ve already slipped. We stayed out way too late last night at a bar that was way too busy. Ended up standing up all night and my legs just couldn’t bear the treadmill today. I guess its good to have a day of rest too. I’ll be back on it first thing in the morning though! I’ve gotta work on that hot body!

Speaking of last night, it was crazy busy. We went out with a few friends and waded through the crowds of people and the ear splitting dance music. At one point everyone except Billy and I was on the dancefloor. I was far too sober to even attempt dancing. I know where my abilities are, and it certainly isn’t there. It was fun though, even though I had to pee the entire time (which is why I wasn’t drinking). Gay bar/club bathrooms scare the hell out of me!

Billy and I are starting a medium sized home project. Since remodeling the bathroom, and working on our bedroom we are slowly getting all the fit and finish done. All of the chrome and brass in the house will eventually go away and be replaced with oil-rubbed bronze. The door knobs are mainly what is left, and at $25 each and needing 30 of them it’s a slow process. To add insult to injury the door hinges are $3 each and needing three per door adds even more to the equation. Now I’m not going to cheap out on the knobs but as for the hinges, we bought some “Oil-rubbed bronze” spray paint. So we shall see how this turns out. Since they don’t get touched or rub on anything it “should” hold up fine. We already know the color matches really well.

I upgraded my version of MarsEdit on my laptop to the newest version and It’s much improved. I highly suggest it as a blogging tool for mac users and word-press users. It supposedly integrates with iPhoto now, we shall see.

I feel slightly guilty for playing music in the background. It’s turned down so low I can’t even hear it. I’m just trying to run up my play counts on last.fm ha ha. I’m such a dork! Oh and click the link, it’ll take you to my profile where you can friend me (hint hint).

Well, I’ve babbled enough for now. Its time for a snack! I think i’m going to get a nutri-grain bar…

Keep Feeling

Friday, August 6th, 2010

I just saw a commercial on tv for Kingsford Charcoal, and they used a very slowed down version of “(Keep Feeling) Fascination” by the Human League. It was very odd. At first I didn’t recognize the song but I thought it was weird that I knew what words were coming next.

BaileyCouldn’t have a post if I didn’t mention the cats at some point, so here we go. I let them out today because they’ve been locked up in the bedroom all week. I’m sure they’re going stir crazy by now. Bailey is running through the house meowing, which isn’t in the slightest bit odd (sad isn’t it?).

Billy is cooking a nice brunch for us. Pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs OH MY! And while he’s cooking we have the tv show on the Game Show Network watching Match Game ’74. I love watching these old game shows!

Onya is right under the stove waiting for Billy to drop something. I’d laugh if bacon grease landed on her. I know I’m mean but she’s so stupid it’s almost not funny. Wow even Loki is in the kitchen rubbing on the stove. Food must be almost ready so I better sign out.

Sicky-icky

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

So last night I felt a tickle in my throat but nothing too telling. I figured I could sleep it off and I’d feel great this morning, no such luck. So far it seems to be a mild cold so hopefully it’ll stay that way. Right now my nose is runny and my throat is swollen, I got some over-the-counter pills at the grocery store today so I’m hoping that will keep me afloat for a while.

Speaking of the grocery store, I take my mom every Wednesday, it’s our little weekly adventure. We’ve even started including it on Twitter as a game. When I check-in on foursquare I always ask for everyone to guess our total, and then post the results when we check out. This week was a whopping $255.83 at Publix, granted just shopping at Publix adds to the bill.

Andy and Billy are playing Super Mario Bros on the Wii, so I figured WordPress could occupy some of my free time. Speaking of, the WordPress for iPad app (what I’m using) needs a couple of bugs squashed. Sometimes the fields will overlap when the screen rotates and it’ll become permanently stuck that way. Also a good portion of the time when you attempt to attach a picture to a blog post the app just crashes, which is a major headache.

I’ve been craving some Sour Patch Kids (watermelon) candy the last few days, and they actually had a bad at Publix today. It satisfied my craving but they aren’t as good as they normally are since I’m sick. =(

New HaircutOh, I had all my hair cut off the other day! I totally forgot to mention that. The long hair was nice but it wasn’t functional this time of the year. I have to flat iron it everyday, and the first drop of sweat and it will start to curl and look awful. Plus with as hot as it’s been lately I could only keep it looking good for maybe an hour at most, so it just had to go. We’ve been a lot more social with our new friends than we are use to (and I’m so thankful for it) that I just had to lop it all off. Let’s see if I can get a picture attached to this post without the app crashing. Oh and this was taken with the front facing camera on my iPhone 4; shameless plug I know but I LOVE my new iPhone.

Bacon!

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

Ok I know this is random too, and that seems to be my theme as of late; but I smell bacon. Now, in this house that normally wouldn’t be that odd of a smell. However we aren’t cooking, and haven’t cooked bacon in quite some time. The only reasonable explanation is that I’m having a stroke, which explains some other abnormal things with me today. Earlier I felt as though I was drunk and light headed even though I haven’t had alcohol in probably three weeks or so. Irregardless of the possible stroke, the mystery bacon that I’m smelling smells really good and now I’m craving it… Hell I could be pregnant too!

Alright, everyone get back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Sad World

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

What kind of world has it become when you cant even use the word Velcro anymore. I just saw a commercial on tv for something and they referred to the Velcro as a “hook and loop” system; WTF?! Seriously Velcro, Sheetrock, Kleenex, and Ziplock should be used synonymously with all brands of the same products.

Random rant of the day.

*Cough Cough*

Monday, April 5th, 2010

This cold is so getting old. I don’t have any of the symptoms anymore except now I’m coughing my head off. I’d take a cough suppressant but I’ve always been told the best way to get over a cough is to let it run its course; you have to cough up all the ick to make it go away. So wouldn’t a suppressant just make it drag out longer? I have noticed today that my coughing seems to be “deeper” so maybe thats a good thing, or not…

How lame is it that I want to read the Richard Castle book, but I’m too lazy to even make it through the preview of it in iTunes? I really enjoy the tv show so I was hoping the book would be similar but hell at this rate I’ll never know.

Speaking of iTunes and iPads and iPhones; after having sent considerable time with an iPad it makes my iPhone feel so tiny in comparison. I pick it up to answer a text message and it feels like I almost need a magnifying glass to see the virtual keyboard.

Bailey was so cute earlier, I gave him some of my cheesecake and he really liked it. I felt bad though because Loki wanted some too but there wasn’t any left. It’ll probably make them sick but it was nice to see him happy (Bailey not Loki).

I’m starting to ramble about my surroundings so I better cut this short. Later y’all!

Remodeling

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

It’s been a long unpublished road lately. Billy has slaved away in the bathroom on this remodeling project and it’s finally paying off. I wasn’t able to gut the bathroom entirely like I wanted to but it has transformed entirely over the past six weeks. We are almost finished too! Thus far we’ve repainted the entire set of rooms in a nice calming spa blue pallet. Rather than ripout the tile floor we chose to restain the grout from a dirty white to a nice medium grey. Also we took out the giant 80′s style mirror and Hollywood style lights, and replaced them with two separate framed mirrors with recessed lights and pendants. All the fixtures in the bathroom were previously chrome, but now they are oil-rubbed bronze (very nice if I do say so myself). All we have left to finish is the built in cabinet over the toilet. Well that and replacing the door knobs; but we are going to replace all the door knobs in the house and at $25 each it’s an expensive endeavor all on it’s own.

As soon as everything is finished I’ll take pictures for everyone that hasn’t or can’t come over to see it in person. If you all had been wondering where we’ve both been lately, now you know!

That Boy is a Monster.

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

We french-kissed on a subway train; he tore my clothes right off. He ate my heart an then he ate my brain…

I don’t know why I’m so smitten with this song but I absolutely love it!

Today we had our big family Christmas with the relatives and it was pretty good. There were a few missed faces but I’m glad I got to see everyone. My mom’s side of the family is very large so we always try and get everyone together around the holiday, but still giving them time to spend on christmas with their own families. We’ll spend Christmas day with my dads side of the family like usual. The dog is asleep, I think she had too much turkey; haha. Poor kitties hid under the bed all day, which is normal for them. Bailey has his neuter appointment in the morning, so he’s sure to not be very merry for Christmas. My grandma gave all of her children a two and a half pound box of assorted chocolates; ironically most of them are diabetic. Football has been on all day in the background, and I have no clue about any of it. I haven’t hardly typed anything and I’m already losing my concentration and starting to ramble on. I better stop now before I get too far off track.

So Tempting

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Apparently on Saturday, Wal-mart is running a promotion where if you buy an Xbox360 Arcade for $199 you get a $100 gift card with it. The Arcade is the lamest of the Xboxes but, the only real difference is the hard drive. I don’t need the HDMI cable that the more expensive versions come with, I’ve already used all three of those ports on my tv, haha. Plus I’d rather the PS3 be on HDMI and an Xbox on component since the PS3 is blu-ray. Gah!!! Decisions decisions. I need to buy Billy a birthday present, so I shouldn’t spend the money, but its a great deal! *bangs head*
