Visitor!

And here is a visitor we had this Saturday!

Saturday

Here are some pictures of my parents exciting Saturday afternoon!

Frozen grapes.

I reeeeeally need to quit watching E! and VH-1. Especially when they air specials on how great and fantastic slender celebrity bodies are. Because when I do watch the specials, I somehow manage to convince myself that obtaining their bodies is just a quick hard work out away. And then I go workout. And then I sit at work insanely sore and feeling stupid.

Did you know Kelly Clarkson lost the weight she has by eating frozen grapes and running for an hour and a half each morning? She does! I think she looks great lately! So decided to take her diet plan vs. the other various celebrities who rely heavily on starving themselves and working out 10 hours per day with their personal trainers. Today I went to the gym and burned 500 calories in an hour and a half. I havent eaten any frozen grapes yet, but I have had some manderines. They werent frozen. But they were goooooood. Kelly Clarkson must have some strong and insensitive teeth to handle frozen grapes. Why doesnt she eat refridgerated grapes? Are frozen grapes better? I need to figure this mystery out. I'm going to go buy some grapes and freeze them. I'll report back to you later....

grrr

Why am I in such a bad mood today???

Today's Forcast....

Even worse than yesterday's! HOW?! WHY?!

WHO, WHAT, AND WHERE?!!?

::sigh::

Nothing is worse than slush. It's a wetter version of rain. I think I waddle like a penguin in the slush. I figured this out because I had a Starbucks run this morning and when I was walking from my car to my building I kept sloshing my coffee everywhere. I was wet from my knees down from slush and my waist up from Starbucks coffee. I think I should take finishing lessons so the next time it's slushy outside I'll glide beautifully in work with my coffee, instead of mimicking the waddle of the penguins.

It was hard to go to work today. My car had a couple inches of really nice snow on it. My inner child was yelling at me when I brushed it off my car so I could drive. It was the nice "make me into a snow ball" sticky like snow, too. Now it's probably slush. Sad, dirty, nasty slush. ::sigh::

I dont know if anyone who reads this blog ever watches "Arrested Development" at all, but sometimes when George Michael was having issues with his girlfriend, he'd walk around with his head down, and the Charlie Brown music would play in the background. Today, I wish when I'm waddling around, the Charlie Brown music would play in the background. That'd be AWESOME.

AWESOME I TELL YOU!

Today's Forcast...

INSANELY GROSS!!!

I'm off today. It's one of those days where I completely and utterly rely on the rut I've gotten myself into. If it werent for my rut, I wouldn't know how to do anything. I hear myself talk, but I have no idea what I'm saying. Or if it makes any sense.

I think part of it is because it's been so dark and rainy all day, I feel like it's night time already! The other part, I had my first cup of joe around 11 today, instead of right as I get out of bed. Also, I think my sinuses are acting up again. Also, I didnt get any Bentley lovin today. For some reason, I'm happier leaving in the morning when I know someone wants me to stay.

I wish it was nicer today. I was going to go to Target, to get "Marley and Me," the novel my brand-spankin new book club is reading. But I dont want to get my pants all wet. I dont think adding "wet pants" to my equation of "offness" is a really good idea right now.

I wish it were summer.

Last night I locked the keys to my office in my office, which, at the time, I thought was no big deal. Someone SOMWHERE should have the key to my office.

But no.

Last night, anyone who had my keys had already gone home. I was stuck outside my office without my purse, my car keys, my cell phone, my jacket, EVERYTHING.

::sigh::

Once everyone here figured out no one had a key to my office, the security gaurd, who used to be a lock smith, tried to break into my office with some burglar-like tools. Unfortunately, I guess the lock to my door is a "6 pin lock" which is "more secure" and "harder to break into" because it's a "stubburn sucker of a lock." or something.

Anyhoo, after about a half hour of this, when the security gaurds finger actualy STARTED TO BLEED, we had to call someone in, with a master key, to open my friggin door.

He wasnt too happy about having to come in at 7:40. But I got back in. Which is what counts.

New story now!!

A co-worker from next door has convinced me to participate in this thing called "lent" For the next 40 days, I am no longer to swear (which I never do anyway, mom) and no more chocolate. If I ever DO swear (which has never happened before) I owe a glass-heart-shaped jar 25 cents. At the end of the 40 days we use all the change to buy the participants a pizza party.

Will it be worth it?

I dont think so. I almost cried when I put my Tagalongs (the girl scout cookie thing) out in the common area for my other co-workers. It's nearing...you know...my........time (nudge, nudge; wink, wink), so it's EXTRA hard for me to give up chocolate.

But, on the other hand, this may be good insurance. If I die, or something, and go up to heaven to be judged, and I find out the Catholics WERE right, I could tell God something along the lines of, "I'm Catholic, sure! I did lent one year. I gave up chocolate DURING MY TIME OF THE MONTH!!!" and then God would probably reply by saying, "Oh! Cool, come on in." And then I'd be in heaven.

So maybe it is worth it.

hmmmmm.

Perplexing.

AND! Before you go off to do other lame things, check out the web address I have as my title! It's really kind of interesting. It has a list of what holiday falls on each day of the year. For example, my birthday (November 4th, Tanya) is "Waiting for the Barbians Day"

What holiday falls on YOUR birthday??? Leave it in the comment section.

That way, I'll be able to write all your birthdays in my calender, finally.
