Blooooooooooger

I had a four day weekend this.... weekend.

Who wants to hear about my weekend, y'all?!? Make some noise!

::crickets chirping::

Sooo, Thursday night. Thursday, Thursday. I get news from the roommate front that shakes up my entire known universe. Black is white! Right side is wrong side! errr, etc etc... Girl talk ensues.

Later, I sleep. Perplexed.

FRIDAY!!! I wake in a bed full of my own sweat. Records will be smashed on this Friday, the 27th of May. 95 degrees, I think it got. Sweet. I could use some 95 degree weather about now.

Hoo hah, Friday. I eat lunch with Amber. I ate a sandwich, I think. We ate outside in the shade on this 95 degree day. Like the French do, but we spoke in English, and you know, wore deodorant. It was all quite pleasant minus the man with excessive gas who walked on by.

Later that same day, The Roommate and I head off to Ringlers for happy hour. We ate and drank and were merry. More girl talk ensued....

Day: the next one. Called Saturday. The Roommate and I walked and talked and went to the Farmers Market in Beavertoooown. Later I watched Phil of the Future. Seriously, I love that show. It's so hillarious. If I were 10 years younger, I would soooo be crushing on Phil...

I think I may have hung out with my sister later on that day. It all starts to get a bit hazy at this point. The sneezing had begun. The itchy eyes! The soar throat! AND THE NEVER ENDING SNEEEEEEZING!!!!!! Ooooor, maybe it was Friday Lindsay and I hung out... I dunno.

BUT THE SNEEZING!! It never ended! Oi.....

I do remember on Saturday making an extra-special trip to Freddies for some Claritin-D. I took the Claritin-D. I got super loopy!

So here is my Saturday night.
-I take Claritin-D
-I drive home to pick up The Roommate to come over for dinner.
-I think I may have started loopy dialing(the Claratin-D version of Drunk Dialing). Or loopy downloading ring phones on my cell. My phone has started ringing The Beatles-The Walrus now. It never has before.... Veeeeeeeeery curious.
-The Roommate comes home and we go to The Barbeque at The Parents. I ate The Food.
-The Roommate and I come back to the apartment, wear she discovers a ruined load of clothes. I sit on the chair and loopily sympathize.
-I wake up at 3am, still on the chair. But confused.
-I walk to my bed, and go to sleep.

Sunday.
I wake up, go to my parents and take a nap. I watched the finale of Lost on Tivo. I scratched my head at some point, I'm sure.

Sunday night, mystery boy #2 called.... ooooo....

Sunday night jerky, stupid boy called The Roommate too.

Monday. Cleanday. I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. Then did laundry. Then I worked on Brenna's birthday present.

TOMORROW'S JUNE!!!!!!!! WOOOOOO!

I feel like not working....

So I blog. I'll update you on my life.

Right now, I am chewing on some gum. I just ate some food. Before I chewed on my gum. Part of my lunch was tuna which is why I'm chewing on my gum. My gum is nummy. I like gum. Gummy gum gum gummy gum. Gum.

Gum is a funny word. Gum.

Sooo, I saw Star Wars this weekend, just like most of the world, apparently. Twas good. Obi-Wan sure busted out some kick-ass Jedi moves. Boo ya.

My eyes are itching lately. Could be the pollen. Maybe.

Gum.

Weekendy beeep

On Friday I went to Moe's (not the one on the coast with the good clam chowder, but the one in Wilsonville with the good burritos). Haha, while I was paying for my lunch up at the cash register, some pimpily kid that worked there came up to the lady that was taking my cash and said, "I'm going home" She said, "Uhh, you cant just go home." He said, "I can if I'm quitting." She said, "Uhhh, thats something you have to talk to the manager about, I'm just work here like you." He said, "Were is she, then?" She said, "Uhh, she's working." He said, "I want to go home." She said, "::sigh:: fine, then, I'll go get her."

All the while I'm standing there with my hand held out with my cash. I dont think I helped matters much by laughing at him. But jeeeeez. And, plus... he couldnt have waited for me to pay?? Whatever.

Saturday comes round... I go to check my stupid mail. I go to the mail box, I open the mail box, I grab the mail out, I start looking at the mail to see what I got, I go to close my mail box, then notice something amiss.

Hundreds...of....tiny....little....ants! Crawling all in my mail box! Like they own it! (NOTE TO ANTS: The USPS owns the box, get the hell out! OR DIE!!!!!!!!!) Anyhoo, after I noticed the new addition to the mail box, I look down at myself, ONLY TO FIND I'M COVERED IN ANTS!!!!!!!!! THE HORROR!!!! I drop my mail, start flailing all about, shreiking like a MANIAC, I can only imagine what I look like to any unsuspecting witnesses. I finally calm down.

I get back to my apartment, carrying mail with dead ants and my footprints all over it, and call my apartment manager.

The conversation is as follows:

Fay: Hi! This is Fay!
Me: Hey! Umm, I just got back from checking my mail, and I found a TON of ants in my box.
Fay: Oh! Yea, we have been recieving a lot of those complaints. This happens when we pour fresh barkdust. Sometimes ants are attracted to the fresh barkdust. It's happened more than you think!
Me: It does?!
Fay: Haha, yea!
Me: Shouldnt you put a sign up to warn people??
Fay: They're only tiny little things! Just step on them!
Me: How?
Fay: Ummm... You know, if they are still there in, like, a week, give us a call. We'll figure something out then.
Me: I dont think you understand. There are HUNDREDS of ants in my box. I dont want them all over my mail.
Fay: They're IN your BOX??
Me: Uhh, yea.
Fay: How?
Me: I dont know. I just checked my mail, and there were ants.
Fay: Did you spill any drinks in your box?
Me: Uhh, nooooo. There's only mail in my box. Mail and ants.
Fay: Well, I dont know what to tell you, I cant get into your box. Ants are often times attracted to food products.
Me: Yea, I know.
Fay: So if there isnt any food in your box, they should go away in a few days. You can call us if its still a problem next.... Friday?
Me: Ummmm......
Fay: All right then! Have a good day!

A Jedi's gotta do what a Jedi's gotta do...

Got it from the Kelly. Thanks, the Kelly!

I'm a nerd.

So, I went to a Bernese Mountain Dog party this weekend. I put pictures of the party below. I tried to feed llamas. We ate some hamburgers. We found out later that we actually ate their pet cows. Murphy befriended these cows last year. I never met the cows, so I was ok, until my mom sent me the picture of the cows via email. They were so cute. IM TERRIBLE!

Oh, yea. I also did other things this weekend. But I dont have pictures of them, so, yea. But in my defence, it involved people and drinking.

2nd Annual Berner Bash. aka further evidence that I'm a complete and utter nerd... 

Murphy with little bitty puppy with VERY sharp teeth. 

Little bitty puppy. With VERY sharp teeth. 

LLAMA LLAMA DUCK 

I tried to feed some llamas. They thought I was weird. But in reality, THEY were the ones who were weird. HA, and their owners will probably serve them up next year. 

Murphy looking very sad that he wasnt feeding the llamas with me. 

Tina! Come get your dinner, you fat lard! 

Murphy is the cutest one on the very right. With the weird guy in the green shirt. 

Haha, they were cute. The dogs. But only some of the people, if you know what I mean... 

Murphy is looking over at me. I think I said something like, "Murphy! Stay!" And then Murphy tried to walk over to me.  

Let The Weekend Begin...

I was so over this week before it even began. I'm so grateful that today is Friday. I am also very grateful that Caleb died on the OC. Things are looking up.

So anyhoo, for all of those who care, or are just really bored at work: I shall tell you my weekend plans:

Tonight: Game thing at Kelly's place. I'll play Cranium. I'll lose. My team will so so ashamed, and whisper to eachother cruel things like, "Why'd she have to be on our team? Gosh!" But chances are I'll have a few drinks running through my system, so I'll be beyond The Land Of Caring. So, sorry, future team.

Tomorrow morning: Nine freakin miles. Ouch. (Please, please dont start raining until the afternoon, Oregon...)
Tomorrow afternoon: I think I'm going to paint the parents new place. With Darbie. Haha, no not really with Darbie. I'll use a paintbrush, of course, but Darbie will be there painting along side of me.
Tomorrow Evening: I'll be painting the town red with Christina. Hopefully before this long over due event, I will be able to take a nap. Because, I'll be TIRED. Oh yes! It shall be hillariously fun nonetheless.

Sunday: Maybe more painting. Definately more sleep and food.

Grrrr

I watched Star Wars last night, like I said I was going to. It was good. Anakin was angry a lot. And then he was sad. And then annoyed. And then angry mixed with sad mixed with annoyed. And jealous. Occasionally he was kind of happy or not really happy about something. Kind of sounds like he's got his monthly, haha, you know what I mean? ::nudge, nudge, wink, wink::

Does anyone think that C3PO have a lot more personality in the older Star Wars than in these ones? I do. All he does in the newer ones is walk around in a robotic fashion, and say stupid things in a British Accent, like: "I've never flown before!" and "Master Anakin??" and "if they wanted our help, they would have asked for our help!" and I'm all, like, "Dude! You're lame!" (of course, with an American accent)

So anyway, for anyone who cares (ie, no one), here is what has taken place so far:
Jedi's find Anakin.
Anakin gets annoyed/mad/sad/kind of happy/kind of not happy/jealous aka: his monthly.
Anakin likes Padme. We know this because he thinks about her sometimes, and acts annoyed when she doesnt flaunt herself at him apon his arrival.
Padme ignores all the many, many warning signs that Anakin is off his rocker, and marries him.
Obi-Wan fights and so does Yoda.
Samual L. Jackson are in the movies. So is that guy from NYPD Blue.
Everyone politely ignores the foreshadowing Supreme Chancellor Palpatine keeps throwing in their faces.

I LOVE STAR WARSMANIA!!!! I'm taking you all down with me! Mwahahahhahahaha.

9 Days left.....

Andy Rooney's Tips for Handling Telemarketers

Three Little Words That Work !!
(1)The three little words are: "Hold On, Please..."
Saying this, while putting down your phone and walking off
(instead of hanging-up immediately) would make each telemarketing
call so much more time-consuming that boiler room sales would grind to a halt.
Then when you eventually hear the phone company's "beep-beep-beep"
tone, you know it's time to go back and hang up your handset, which has
efficiently completed its task.

These three little words will help eliminate telephone soliciting.
(2) Do you ever get those annoying phone calls with no one on the
other end? This is a telemarketing technique where a machine makes phone
calls and records the time of day when a person answers the phone.
This technique is used to determine the best time of day for a "real"
sales person to call back and get someone at home.
What you can do after answering, if you notice there is no one
there, is to immediately start hitting your # button on the phone, 6 or 7 times,
as quickly as possible This confuses the machine that dialed the call and
it kicks your number out of their system. Gosh, what a shame not to
have your name in their system any longer !!!

(3) Junk Mail Help:
When you get "ads" enclosed with your phone or utility bill,
return these "ads" with your payment. Let the sending companies throw their own
junk mail away.

When you get those "pre-approved" letters in the mail for
everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and similar type junk, do not throw
away the return envelope. Most of these come with postage-paid return envelopes, right? It
costs them more than the regular 37 cents postage "IF" and when they receive
them back. It costs them nothing if you throw them away! The postage was
around 50 cents before the last increase and it is according to the weight.
In that case, why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it
in these cool little, postage-paid return envelopes.

One of Andy Rooney's (60 minutes) ideas.
Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to American Express. Send a pizza
coupon to Citibank. If you didn't get anything else that day, then
just send them their blank application back! If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your name isnt on anything you send them. You can even send the envelope back empty if you want to just to keep them guessing! It still costs them 37 cents.

The banks and credit card companies are currently getting a lot of their own
junk back in the mail, but folks, we need to OVERWHELM them. Let's let
them know what it's like to get lots of junk mail, and best of all
they're paying for it...Twice!
Let's help keep our postal service busy since they are saying that
e-mail is cutting into their business profits, and that's why they need to
increase postage costs again. You get the idea !

If enough people follow these tips, it will work!

OoOoOoOoOoOo 

Star Waaaaaars!

Man. Ever since Scotty has left AI (6 days ago), I have no more passion for anything. It has left me, dare I say...empty? Which is why I'm throwing myself head first into Star Warsmania.

I have watched the first episode, The Phantom Menace. Sadly enough, I can give you the plot line in one sentence. The war starts and Anakin meets Padme and Obi-Wan. Oh, plus a couple fight scenes and one never-ending race scene.

Two sentences.

Tonight, Attack of the Clones. This is another one sentencer. Anakin becomes more annoying and marries Padme.

Who am I to judge, though? I am a firm believer that the stupidness of the first two movies will be made up in this last installment.

Yessss. I'm super excited. Plus, PLUS (twice for emphasis) my mumsi bought me dark M&M's. Solid.

As it should be...

So last night...

Ah, last night. Sweet and lovable last night.

I've racked my brain trying to figure out the best way to describe how I felt last night, and the only example I could come up with is Pride & Prejudice. You know when Bingley finally admits his feelings towards Jane and proposes to her, and he leaves, then Jane says to Elizabeth, "Oh, if only everyone could be as happy as I." and then Elizabeth is all, "One would have to have your goodness to be as happy as you."

So, I'm like, Jane. Minus the goodness.

The only way it could have been more perfect was if he had cried more.
