Why I'm watching the Real World Austin? Aren't I getting a little old for yet another season? Oh Big Brother, where are you in my hour of need! … [Read more...]

Wanted people to visit me in California!
June 20, 2005 by
I've been reading over at Snidget about her travels to meet other bloggers, then Cheeky did it too. How is it that I get in on this action? I want to travel to meet you guys! Or you can come visit me... The room is ready, remember? Ok, so I don't drink, but I get drunk by proxy, I promise! I promise a good time will be had by all, ok, once I get over the shyness thing. … [Read more...]
My dads fathers day…
June 20, 2005 by
Included this nice little incident... Apparently one of his neighbours hit his parked car, drove over his front lawn, hit a retaining wall, and broke the water main to his house. Not too bad, I think. I remember when I was 16, and I crashed my 1979 Buick Opel. He didn't talk to me for 3 months. When the neighbour came to his door telling him that there had been an accident, he hugged her and said (about his 2001 jaguar), it's just a car. You know, I would have loved to had that kind of dad … [Read more...]
For real, my spoil-a-blogger spoiled me!
June 19, 2005 by
Now, I've been a very bad girl. I got my spoil-a-blogger gift on Wednesday, and I haven't written about it. I wish I had a good excuse, but I don't. I took my camera to work with me every day, but didn't download the picture... You know, I was working, ok only kinda working... Needless to say, there really is no excuse. However, I wanted you all to see that my spoil-a-blogger pal loves me very, very much. She wrote me the sweetest note telling me that I wasn't taking proper care of … [Read more...]
30 Days is SO worth your time!
June 15, 2005 by
Tonight I had the absolute pleasure of watching 30 Days on fx. I really enjoyed Supersize Me!, so when I saw the promo's for Morgan Spurlock's new show, I set up the TiVo. What a GREAT show! The premise is incredible. Put yourself in someone else's shoes for 30 days. The first episode featured Morgan and his girlfriend living on minimum wage for 30 days. It was an absolute eye opener. When I was unemployed for 2 years, I had a ton of help. While I made no money, I had a mom who was … [Read more...]
Kickboxing and unpacking books, which is worse?
June 13, 2005 by
Tonight I had my second kickboxing class. I figured out the routine after just one class, so this class was not so bad. I will tell you, it is a damn good workout. It makes me feel like the workouts I've been doing in the morning are worthless. That however, could be a good thing. I think I like kickboxing... a LOT! So, when I got home from kickboxing, I decided the smart thing to do would be to bring more boxes of books into the house and load them into the new IKEA bookcases. I have … [Read more...]
My spoil-a-blogger pal Susanna loves me!
June 13, 2005 by
On Friday, I came home to a happy mail box. First, I got my new sunglasses that I bought at the deco show. They are really cool. I feel like I'm all vintage in them. Then I got my first spoil-a-blogger package! My palSusanna sent me some pattons splash yarn and this really cool purse accessory. I really like the yarn. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but I don't think it's going to be a scarf. I'm thinking it will make a really cute little purse. So, that's where I'm … [Read more...]
The little birdies are getting big!
June 13, 2005 by
A little while ago, I showed you a birds nest and 4 little chicks that were in there. This weekend, I counted 5 little birds in that nest. One is very large (front), and the other very small (back). I saw them all in there, but wasn't successful getting a picture that shows all 5. I'm really excited about my birdies. Daisy has finally figured out that they are there. Now she looks up at the nest, just like I do, trying to figure out what all the comotion is about. I can't imagine being … [Read more...]
Sleep…
June 10, 2005 by
Has been eluding me as of late. I wish I knew what the problem was. Last night was just a series of cat naps. An hour here, two hours there. Poor Daisy was so irritated with me, she decided to sleep on the floor. I hope I solve the issue tonight. I'm exhauted. … [Read more...]
You’ve gotta have art…
June 8, 2005 by
You know that I've been spending cash on the house like mad. Seriously. It's been insane. This is one of the latest purchases. A sculpture I purchased on eBay over the weekend. Don't you think it's yummy? I've given you a view of the width of the fireplace so you can kinda tell how big it is. … [Read more...]
Look who’s talking…
