I'm watching the GILROY GARLIC COOKOFF on the Food Network at the moment... and I just recognized one of the contestants from the GREAT CAKE BAKEOFF that they showed awhile back. I mean, a white woman with big 'afro' hair and big glasses who tries to steam cook a almond cake cake is someone you really can't forget. Plus from what I remembered from the bakeoff was that 50% of the score was made up of the STORY.... meaning how the recipie came about and I remembered thinking "well... that's crap. anyone can BS a cheesy story about a cake and they can already have a heads up in the game!" And perhaps this is all a sign that I really need to get a life huh.

Anyways, I hope everyone had a beautiful Easter. Today on the way to church, a butterfly slammed into the windshield of the car and stayed for a bit. Do you know how creepy that is!? One of the creatures the symbolizes life and spring and it kamakazis into your car.... on Easter Sunday of all days! But it eventually moved (perhaps after getting over the shock of what it had just done) and flew away. I hope its alright... In any case, the rest of the day was nice. Lunch with mom, lunch with dad at my aunt's, and playing with the babies. :)

Work has been.... hectic. Welcome to spring break. I like to think of it as training for summer because goodness knows its gonna suck hardcore once May rolls around....

Oh no. Did they they just use Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring in a eye drop commerical!?! Ugh.

Which reminds me, Kristine... have you seen the starburst commerical where the guy creates a sculpture of a girl using starbursts. And in the backround, they play Lionel Ritchie's HELLO.... Its a beautiful beautiful thing.

...Anyways back on work. So the other day, I had a guest throw her shoe at her husband because he didn't book two nights for their reservation and when they tried to extend it upon check in, they couldn't because we were completely sold out. Craziness huh. Right before the shoe thrower, I had another irate guest that resulted with an interview with security AND an almost run-in with my scary lemon guy in the break room. This was the same day Jerad gave me a 'lucky' penny. Lucky my ass.

Oh and my phone broke last Saturday...

But hey I got a new one on Thursday...

With a rebate that ought to be coming in 5-6 weeks.

So that just means I'm poor at the moment.

But hey at least I have my nifty new glasses...

But also means double the poorness.

Boo.

Oh shit... is this a TAMMY movie marathon on AMC!?

Well bless my soul it sure is!!

:)

So yesterday while in LINE to make a left to turn into Church... this woman in an SUV cut us off.

Carlene and Mom started getting pissy... and by pissy I mean their mouths took on the habits of dirty drunken sailors.

Sonny and I, in the back attempted to calm them down by saying "we're going to church..." because really, one shouldn't get pissy right outside of chuch. Just let it be and focus on other things right?

But then the woman who cut us off, looked outside her window and saw that Carlene had edged up, indicating that she wouldn't her her in the lane... she looked as us with disgust and rudely yelled...

"I'M GOING TO CHURCH!"

I know, I know what you're thinking... oh no she didn't.

But she did and it was OVER. No we didn't throw down and beat her senseless with heavy purses and shoes... we GLARED. There was no calm in our glaring because along with the glaring, we proceeded to talk mad SH*T about the woman who cut us off... On the way to church....

I mean it probably would have been different if she had apologized or waved an acknowlement as if to say "oh oopps... I cut you off, but thanks to much for understanding. This line to get into the parking lot sure is a bitch, but really, thanks for being so kind and letting me in."

But no. She yelled at us.

EVIL WHORE!

I know, its not very nice to call the woman who cut us off and yelled at us in front of church an evil whore... but I guess I just did it again. Oops.

But how awesome would it be if next time we see her at chuch, we cut her off at the communion line and yell at her. "I'M GETTING BREAD!!"

Oh how horrid.

I went to my eye doctor this week and FINALLY got a new contact prescription as well as a brand new pair of glasses. YAY I HAVE NO REASON TO BE BLIND! Let me tell you, dear dear stalker, how bad my eyes have gotten. Since 6th grade, my prescription has been the same. -3.25 in each eye... do you know how PERFECT it has been!?! Sure when I break glasses, my backup pair were chic fashion last centuary, but at least I had several ugly and geeky "backups". My contacts have never changed and when short on cash, I could make do with one box! But now, my right eye is -3.50 and my left eye shot up to -4.00. Good gracious! If only there was a pill I can take. Actually I didn't think it was too bad... I mean sure, before when I was driving, I couldn't see signs, but I just figured that my contacts were dirty or something... OH wells... at least now I can see.

Oh how I love benifits though. Next, STOCK OPTIONS and 401k!

Eww... I'm a grown up.

So today, an older gentleman carrying a handful of books approached me and asked "Where can I find a restroom and a place where I can sit down and relax?"

To which I thought to myself "AT THE SAME TIME!?!"

And actually said out loud...

...in a very high pitched voice...

...at work...

...where EVERYONE heard and proceeded to laugh their asses off.

He then gently explained to me that NO... he didn't need them at the same time, that he actually needed to stand up in the restroom and afterwards just wanted to read.

How embarassing.

Last night, I had an impromptu dinner with Lisa, Tam, and Melissa... which was pretty much a miracle that we all had Tuesday night off with all of our crazy schedules. Tam brought her new guy, Mike, whom I think we all heartily approve of (YAY!) and we indulged on delicious conversation and even more tasty cheesecake. To think that 10 years ago, we were talking about rallies and dances... now Lisa is planning our upcoming bachelorette parties (that won't be happening in a long time.. or so I think.) and babysitting future children (who hopefully will be concieved after the bachelorette parties of carnal sin.) How time files...

And on the way home, I drove by our old haunting spot: the 24 hour WALMART and decided that I needed a glade plugin refill and brown liquid eyeliner. Gosh, how I miss that place and those good times ofbuying flavored water and yarn at 2am.

But if I have to grow old, I'm glad that I'll be growing old with them in my life.

So Carlene and I went to Disneyland today and got to try out the brand new BUZZLIGHTYEAR ride. Ohmygosh talk about CUTE! And FUN! AND in the end, you can email the picture of yourself on the ride to anyone and everyone!!


So my score isn't as high as Carlene's. I'm just non-violent like that... or have really bad aim. :P

At work, I wear black socks.

Before I went to work yesterday, I bought black socks because I haven't done my laundry yet AND I need more black socks.

When I got to work, I realized that I forgot my brand new black socks in my car... and I couldn't go back to get it because its about a 10 minute walk from the parking lot to the office and well, I just didn't want to be marked down as late.

So I looked in my locker to see if by any chance I had any extra black socks in there.

I had ONE black trouser sock.

What's a girl to do with ONE black trouser sock.

Well... she cuts it in half. One end has a resemblance to a PED, the other looks like a TUBE, which she sorta ties the end and turns into a ghetto sock. It looks a lot like a sock sample when you're trying on shoes.

You know this makes PERFECT sense to me right?

Hi Beth! I'm alive!

:)

Yesterday, I got a tip in the form of TOGO'S coupons. Kick ass!

Hmmm... I'm trying to think of what has been going on lately. Mostly work... the story of my life. Oh! Monday, I had a little work party where Jean was my date and they showered us with sugar and perks. Tuesday, after shopping, went to an expo at work, and met up with Mondo for dinner. Thursday, after work, got some drinks with Lindsay and John.... and Friday just worked work work. Yep. Thats it work work work.

I've been very cautious about walking alone at work... and whenever its time to go home, I walk out with someone... or 2 or like the other night 6. They wouldn't snap like the JETS for me, but it was still comforting.

"What makes you think that we will save you if you're getting kidnapped?"

Awww... love.

I think I scratched my left eye because its been RED for the last 2 days. I swear its making me self conscious. I'm afraid that if a guest gets mad at me, they'll make a report on the GIRL WITH THE RED EYEBALL who ruined their vacation. Erp. Since I'm on my last pair of contacts and my "cool" glasses are broken, I'm doing my darndest to keep the contacts alive so I won't have to walk around with my 8th grade glasses. According to Carlene, today I look like Harry Potter's girlfriend in them... CRAP! Hopefully my health benifits will kick in soon.

Boo. My life is boring... later I shall post pictures of the puppies to make up for all the empty space. :)
