But I am having fun.
Question of the Day: Does Chapstick ever expire?
I have a thing of Chapstick in my desk and I know that it is getting kind of old... I really only use it when I am sick and can't breathe through my nose... Not to long ago I looked at it trying to find an expiration date, but to no avail... I should probably just toss it, but I can't bring myself to waste what could be "good" Chapstick. Such a dilemma.
Next door to my office is a chiropractor's/acupuncturist's office, and every now and then there is this guy who goes in there. Now, this shouldn't be a big thing, many people go into that office, but this one, he's special. Not like the "he needs a helmet" special, but like the "I bet he has deep-seeded psychological issues" special. Every time I see him he is wearing a little purple cape (like from a kid's Halloween costume), and last time I saw him not only did he have the cape on but he was full blown accessorizing. He had on the cape, matching purple shoes, and his freaking hair dyed to match! Hilarious in the first degree. Someday I hope to get a pic of him with my phone... He's an elusive bastard...
I watch Maury, some sick twisted part of me loves the drama of it, but I am always worried that someday I will see someone I know (like my sister...)... I also worry about that when I have the opportunity to watch Intervention on A & E. Probably an irrational fear, but it's there.
I am a patient person. At least I like to think so, but I hate waiting to hear about things. Like waiting to hear if my sister is having a boy or a girl (she goes in for the ultrasound in the next couple of weeks), or Collin waiting to hear about jobs, or any of that.... Absolutely despise waiting for news like that.... Everything else I can typically roll with.
This post really didn't have a point to it (as I am sure you can deduce from the randominity *new word* of topics) I just felt like unloading my mental slop....

You Will Feel Hope Bleeding Out From Your Pores
I am really starting to think May just isn't a good month.... The only really good thing to come from May is my best friend.... Her birthday is coming up soon! Other than that May blows... Last week was like the horrible, hellacious week that never seemed to end. Finally, Friday got here an it was a fairly good day... Until the end... Like literally.
Collin and I were finishing up watching Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist and checking out the special features when our TV suddenly was possessed by the devil. I swear to Bob, it was crazy. The TV shut itself off, and at first I thought that it was an accident and that Collin had elbowed the TV remote that was behind his arm... Such was not the case...
We found all two of the TV remotes (one came with the TV and one for the cable box that also operates the TV) and laid them out on the table. Turned the TV on, and it then proceeded to shut itself off.....
AND THEN TURN ITSELF ON! Then shut off, then on, then off, and then began flipping through the channels (the ones on the TV not the cable box), then shut off. At this point we unplugged it and gave it a moment to gather itself...
We plugged it back in, turned it on, and it continued to freak out like some indecisive tweaker. Finally we said fuck it and decided to go to bed and look at possible replacement TV options online. We unplugged the demonic electronic and let it be for the night.
Saturday morning, before heading to the grocery store we decided to plug it in and see if leaving it be helped right whatever messed up malfunction had taken place. Collin plugged it in and the crazy thing turned itself on!! Ugh....
While at Walmart we took a gander at the TVs there, found one that was really nice but just a little bit beyond our price range given our current financial situations. We decided to think on it, we had a bunch of stuff to do that day and figured we could take a few hours to mull it over.
We finished our shopping, went home and had breakfast, came to the office and cleaned all the dust out of the computers here, and went home to have lunch. Then we went to see my awesome hair lady, LeeAnn. Both of us got our hair cut (I am going back in six weeks for more color, yay!) and we got lucky that she still had her special going so it was less than fourteen dollars for the both of us (plus her tip but I don't count that in the total).
After LeeAnn's we went back to Walmart and got the TV we had checked out that morning. It's a 32" LCD Flat Panel TV. It is really nice, and seems way too big after having only a 20" tube TV.
Collin absolutely loves the TV, so do I, but at the same time there's that nagging voice telling me, "Are you effing crazy? Considering things do you really need that TV?"
Then, Monday morning, Collin's car won't start.... Thankfully, as far as we know, it was just a dead battery, and it will be fine. But he had to take my truck yesterday, leaving me with no car. Luckily Renee was able to pick me up and her hubby gave us a ride to work, and Collin picked us up.
I'm sure there's other crap too (I almost put twoo) and I will remember it later, these were what was in the forefront of my mind at the moment....
Did you know that fallacious is a word? I sure as hell didn't....

After Thought From Zombies
I have been meaning to post this tidbit since the 27th but things just keep coming to the fore front of my mind and this just kept getting pushed to the back. I have now officially been off the soda for over a month. Yes I still miss my Pepsi and Dr Pepper occasionally (especially on days like today...), but I am proud that I have resisted the temptation to buy a two liter and chug it like a college frat boy at a kegger.... It's just been water, juice, milk, coffee and the occasional beverage of an alcohol type nature.
Now to return to one of the biggest catalysts that would make me want a soda or alcohol... My husband...
LOL, Just kidding, we all know I am talking about work.

Zombie By Friday...
I was looking in the mirror this morning while doing my make-up (I find it helpful to use a mirror for this so I don't walk out of the house looking like a clown... Or a whore...) and noticed the dark circles under my eyes were almost non-existent. Awesome right? I know that by Friday morning, when I look in the mirror I will look like a freaking zombie again... Oh well, the ongoing perils of adult hood.
This weekend was nice, and restful, and almost felt surprisingly long, then the alarm went off this morning and the weekend was over and felt way too short.
Friday night we did the grocery shopping (woohoo!), and watched The Tale of Despereaux. It was a cute movie, kind of slow going, but still cute.
Saturday we went to Corvallis and picked up my brother's old computer and hung out with him for about a half hour. His new laptop is awesome. His old computer is HUGE. Then after we got back to Salem, Collin packed up his compy and went over to Dan's house to hang out (play computer games) for the afternoon/evening. It was nice having some time to just me. I watched a movie, listened to music, doodled, read the book my brother picked up for me, and just relished in some alone time. Just as I was getting ready to crash Collin got home, so that was good timing on his part. We were going to go to lunch with Doobers and his wife on Saturday but they had a prior commitment that Doobers had forgotten about. Collin told him to let us know when it is good for them to do something at this point, because I am tired of setting up these plans just to have them not happen. I have other opinions on this but they are just that, opinions.
Sunday we ran a couple quick errands, and then just chilled the rest of the day. We watched our Detroit game (they sadly lost by one point in the third overtime period) It was an awesome game, the point that brought the game to a tie was scored in the first part of the third period, then it went into a triple sudden death overtime. It was awesome, but sucked when our team lost. The next game is Tuesday night. *fingers crossed* After the game we watched Saw V which was a gruesome as the previous four movies. Oh, for dinner I made a really awesome pork roast in the slow cooker stuffed with onions, garlic, and tomatoes. It was delicious. With the left over juices I made an awesome tomato sauce to go with the tortellini we had. I really need to start writing this shit down when I make it... Especially if it turns out good.
Today is Monday again... Which means back to work...
Ugh.

I Blame It On The Booze
Last night I was cold, so Collin and I decided we wanted "Adult Hot Chocolate", which is simply hot chocolate with a splash of Kahlua and a splash of Butterscotch Schnapps. It was good and it warmed me up. There wasn't anywhere near enough booze to make us drunk but I blame what happened later on as the night progressed on the alcohol.
I don't exactly remember why, but Collin thought I was waiting outside the bathroom door to attack him or something. I wasn't. I yelled at him to stop mumbling in the bathroom and that I was sitting on the couch in the living room and couldn't hear him. I wasn't on the couch but I was in the living room. I was hiding just around the corner in at the end of the hallway as it enters the living room. I was standing in the corner space made by the couch and love seat meeting (I almost spelled that meating.... Odd) with my back to the wall.
So you don't think me mean, my husband has scared me more times than I can count and very very rarely am I able to scare him, or given to opportunity for that matter.
I stood there, waiting for him to finish doing whatever (I think he was cleaning his tat), starting to get bored. Every time I thought he was coming out he didn't. Spaz noticed me standing there (she was sleeping on the back of the love seat at the opposite end from where I was) and decided she wanted to play too.... She walks over and tries to start something with me. I shoo her away and she gets pissy and goes over by the front door and plops her fuzzy ass down (this particular place she chose is in clear sight of the hallway), and then she proceeds to look down the hallway at the bathroom, and then stare at me. I'm whispering to her to knock it off or she'll ruin my fun, and she just continues to stare.
Finally, I hear the bathroom door open, and Collin walking down the hallway. I also hear that he is brushing his teeth. I didn't want him to choke so I didn't get him as bad as I had planned, but I still got him! Yay me!
He had a feeling there was a reason Spaz was staring at that area (where I was) but he figured she was just being the weird ass cat that she is.
Then fast forward to some point in the middle of the night. I wake up and find that Collin is trying to get frisky with me, I am half asleep, I thought I was dreaming or something so I just pushed him away and rolled over. Then this morning I mentioned it to him (I have had weird dreams like this before), and he said he woke up to it too.... Basically, he tried to sleep-woo me.... I guess... LOL... Good times...
Again, I blame it on the booze... And the fact that last night we were both totally exhausted by the time we got home from work...
Speaking of...
Peace out!

Responsibly Irresponsible
We had a blast this weekend. We sort of slept in for once on Saturday (until 8:00 I think...) which was nice. When we decided to roll out of bed we had breakfast and then headed to the mall. If you read my last post you saw the bit about Torrid, well I just so happen to get a coupon in my email that was good through yesterday for $25 off $100. You can assume where we went at the mall...
I found tons of cute things that I wanted, and after trying on about a dozen different things and some very intense decision making, I whittled it down to three hell-a-awesome tops. I got to use my coupon and still got an additional 5% off the total. Rock on! It was great, I was on a total shopping high at that point. I will take pics of the shirts when I wear them and post them on Myspace.
Okay, then we went back to the house to have lunch and so I could get ready for Sheree's baby shower. Right after we got home Collin got a message on Myspace letting him know about a Memorial Service for a friend of ours (more Collin and Doobers' but I knew him in passing). We were both shocked, we hadn't heard a thing about it... We did some searching and found the news story about his end... He went swimming last Tuesday (when it was like mid-eighties) with some friends at Clackamette Park in Oregon City and was swept under by the current. It was just shocking.
I left for the baby shower at about 2pm, and sent Collin on an errand that kept him busy while I was gone. On our way home from the mall earlier we had decided we really wanted to do something, something for us. With all the crazy shit going on we wanted to do something "our age" . I went to the shower, played some games, had fun. It was a good time. Sheree still has about a two months until she has the twins, but she looks ready to pop now! But that's 'cause there's two babies obviously. Yea, loads of fun.
After the shower I went home and had some fruit loops, then Collin and I went and did our responsibly irresponsible thing.
We got another tattoo!!! Woohoo!!!
The picture should be on Myspace (if it's not already depending on when you read this).
Yea, it was another amazing high!
I love getting tattooed... Not sure why but I do. It's awesome. Now we are trying to think of what to get next, we are building on our right arms. No names, no dates, just symbols that have important meaning.
After the tats we went over to Renee's to help Drea get her compy set up and working for her school stuff. By the time we were done there it was nine and we were famished (and I didn't feel like cooking) so we went to Panda Express. They have awesome food for a fast food joint.
Sunday we got up, had breakfast, watched a movie, went and bought a new printer, and then headed up to Oregon City for the memorial.
It was sad, Zack was a really great guy. He had a ton of people whose lives he touched whether he knew it or not. One of the saddest parts of the service was right after we got there and the guy who had invited him to go swimming on Tuesday was sharing and apologizing. I can't imagine the way he feels right now, he was the last person to see Zack alive.... Yea. It sucks. Words cannot describe the void left in this world by his passing.
Yea, just goes to remind you how precious every moment of your life is... And it probably just pushed Collin and I all the more to get the tats Saturday night. It can all end so unexpectedly... I can say I have no regrets (except I haven't had a chance to see more of the world).
So, this kind of turned a little morbid, but death does that, especially when it was a good friend.
I have to go back to work now... Since I know that this won't post with the right time (it never seems to) it's actually 2:22 right now, I started this earlier and saved it as a draft....
Peace!

He Looks Like An Ugly Man...
Trying to look like Luke Perry.
This was in regards to some lead singer of some band that Collin and I saw a video for on TV Wednesday morning right before he left for work.... I have no clue what the band's name was so they must not have been that awesome to me... And the guy looked like Luke Perry, but uglier (if that's possible....)
Yay! It's Friday!
Tomorrow I am going in to get a trim on the lower back part of my hair (to take out some of the bulk), and then I am going to a friend's baby shower with Renee and Drea. The girl is someone who use to work with me and Renee. She is having twins! A boy and a girl. I got really cute presents that I will take some pictures of and post them on Myspace after the baby shower. I am pretty sure she is having them in four to six weeks... I can't remember exactly.
Today I found out that one of my favorite stores (Torrid) has a location in Salem Center Mall... And has been there for almost two freaking years!!!! Ugh... All this time I thought the nearest store was in Clackamas Town Center so I usually would just buy stuff online but now I know there is one here!!! YAY!!! I texted Collin the news, his response was the best (and this is why he is the best husband ever) :
"omg lol so i am guessing you wanna go check it out?"
I replied fervently, "yes yes yes yes!"
So for the first time in about three years we will probably be going to Salem Center this weekend. Should be fun.
And I know why Collin likes going to Torrid, he gets to come in the dressing room while I try stuff on.
I am so freaking happy to know that it's there... And for the time being I have a little bit of money so maybe I can get something (if I find something I can't be without). They have really good clearance stuff too.... *eyes glaze over, drool dripping out of mouth* Pretty clothes....
Okay, wow. That's kinda sad how happy I got about a clothing store... Whatever.
My gum is hard and hurting my jaw.
