TV Shows:

The Following

Divers, Drive Ins, and Dives

Most of ESPN

Music:

Nicki Minaj

Taylor Swift's song "22"

3/4ths of the new Maroon 5 cd

I Shipped My Pants!

Since I am in an Advertising class, I have gained a new appreciation for commercials. This one is my favorite so far this year...


They DO Exist!

I'm taking about cats in shark suits chasing ducks on vacuums of course!


Whoever thought of this is my hero.

Workin' at the Car Wash.

If you wash your car, the next day it will either rain, or there will be a dust storm. This is the main reason that I haven't washed the exterior of my car in months...that or I'm lazy...but we wont get into that. There is something that mother nature doesn't like about shiny clean cars. Either that or she just thinks that it's hilarious to punk people like that all the time. I guess I would definitely do it too if I could control the weather, so I probablyI shouldn't complain.

Hmmm

This happens to me a lot. Let me know if it is the same with you. It seems that when I am low on cash, my car is always either 1/4 of the way full, or on empty. When it is on empty, I put $15 of gas in, and raise the tank to about 1/4 full again. The cycle then repeats itself over and over. In contrast to that situation, when I have less bills to pay, or a bit extra money, things are different. My gas tank stays at about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way full. When I see it getting to about 1/2 full, I put $15 of gas in. The tank then raises to about 3/4 of the way full. In both of these situations, I'm spending pretty much the same amount of money on gas. Why do I do this? There are plenty of reasons, but none of them really  make complete sense.

Everybody does It Part Deux

You are parched. You walk over to the fridge to get a drink of: juice, milk, soda, etc. After pouring the amount desired you realize...there is only about a swallow or two left in this container...I don't want it. So you put the drink back in the fridge almost as if to taunt the next person that wants that same kind of drink. You don't do it maliciously. You do it because you got in, got what you needed, and got out. You hate when you are on the opposite side of the equation. But as long as you got the amount of drink you wanted, that's all that matters. Everybody does it.

Old Man Jokes

My husband is 25 years old and already spouts off a few old man jokes from time to time. I do not think old man jokes are funny at all. You know the jokes, "There's a quarter in your ear!" "Back in my day"...Something about walking up hill in the snow. I have told him that I don't like them, but I think he just likes to pester me. At the current rate we are going at, I will probably die of old jokes rather than old age.

Jewelry for Life

My current job is as a jewelry sales woman. I do what you would call "jewelry parties". Its kind of like Pampered Cheif, or Mary Kay parties. If you don't know what those are like then look it up. Since I have had this job I have collected tons of jewelry. Most of it I really like, but there are some pieces that I could do without. My husband is very excited that he doesn't have to buy me jewelry for a long time since I have so much already. That just means more purses and shoes!

New Socks

I don't know anybody that doesn't like the feeling of putting on a new pair of socks. Well, I haven't asked anybody if they like feeling, so I'm making a pretty huge assumption here. So maybe the better way to say this is, "I don't know of anybody that doesn't like the feeling of putting on a new pair of socks. My husband sometimes complains that his feet hair hurt after he wears socks all day. I don't know what that's like, cause I don't have hairy feet.

Mothballs

Mothballs are usually associated with keeping moths from eating holes in your clothing. I associate them with the word "stink". Whenever I smell them I feel like its hard to breathe. They may get the job done, but at what cost? How willing are you to smell awful all the time? My sister-in-law ate a mothball when she was a kid...she's fine.

Science Rules!

Whenever there is something man made that needs explaining, my husband has the answer...science. If I ask him if he knows how something was done, how it is possible, or how it is made, if he doesn't know the answer, he says science. I can't argue with that...he makes a good point.

Shots

Getting a shot is close to the worst thing in the world! Any time that I have to get a shot or get blood drawn I have to be distracted. No matter who is there when the needle is in view, somebody better tell me a story and keep my mind off of that dang needle. I don't want to think about it anymore...

Cat Alarm Clock

It's as cute as it sounds...


The Onion Fiasco

We ate at Applebees a few nights ago and ordered their delicious cheeseburger sliders WITHOUT onions. Of course when our food arrived there were about 1000 diced onions on every burger. After my husband told the waitress what happened she asked if the kitchen should take the onions off of the burgers... really? I am perfectly capable of removing onions from a burger! Just removing the onions does not get rid of the onion taste on my burgers! I don't know why it seems so difficult to not put things on food. At least 40% of the time I order food, it doesn't matter where I am, they can't seem to keep there hands off of the ingredients I specifically don't want with my meal. I don't get it.

Things That are Better Than Other Things

Adele > anyone who tries to sing like Adele on The Voice

The Voice > American Idol

Hannibal > The Following

Wrath of the Titans > Clash of the Titans

baths > showers

cat videos > dog videos

anything > foot cramp

llamas > giraffes (but it's very close)


Baby, You're All That I Want.

In just over a week I will have been married to my great, stunning, very smart, awesome, amazing, fantastic, tall, not very dark, handsome husband, for two years. We're not exactly sure what we are doing for our anniversary yet (any suggestions?), but I'm sure it will be wonderful. Thank you to my husband for two great years and many more to come!

"Nothing" Is The Name Of The Game

As a woman, I'll never understand how my husband can stare off into space for fifteen minutes and then when I ask him what he's thinking about, he always says, "Oh nothing, I was just spaced out." I've heard that men can go into a "nothing box" in their minds and not really think about anything. I don't know if I believe it...my mind is always running....but I'm not a man.
