Sabina's review of her prescription: Tetracycline
Overview
So here's the deal.
My skin's been really jacked up the past few months. I mean, to the point of SCARRING. It's really upsetting. I'm going to be 29 for God's sakes, if I'm old enough to pay property taxes I should be old enough to not be dealing with this crap. The saving grace was when I got a bladder infection...the medication for that cleared up my skin like crazy (yay urinary tract infections!)
That being said, woman cannot survive on bladder infections alone for great skin.
So I went to the dermatologist finally, and he told me basically my two options for the rest of my life were to take something orally or topically (which sounds really perverse now that I'm typing that...). Since I'm all for blasting the hell out of my skin via every cell, I opted for the pills.
Yeah you heard me. REST OF MY LIFE. He said his wife has been taking it for 15 years and the instant she stops, she breaks out. Ahh well, the price you pay for beauty.
The Cons
The Cons pretty much lie in the strict rules surrounding it...
let's see:
1. Can't eat for 2 hours before...
2. Cant' eat for 1 hour after
3. Can't lie down for 30 minutes after taking it
4. Can't have anything with calcium/dairy/vit. supplements 2 hours before and after
5. Gotta take it 2x a day
Now all of the above wouldn't be so bad if it didn't make me ridiculously nauseous....can't lie down to feel better...can't ease the queasy stomach with food...these pills are crazy potent and it's taken serious willpower to not stop my car on the way to work, with my empty stomach, to not hurl up a lung.
The Pros
So after bitching about the nausea and all that, you'd think it wouldn't be worth it right?
Oh HELL no. This stuff is killing my intestinal track but DAMN my skin looks a trillion times better! I still get a few breakouts, but seriously I'm sooooo happy with my skin, you have no idea. Now i'm just applying scar cream like a mofo all over the old areas and hopefully I'll be good to go.
Survey Says:
Two very enthusiastic thumbs up. Fine holiday faire!
Side note: Not that any dude who would be bored enough to read this would want to know this TMI, but the ONE problem with medications like tetracycline, cipro, etc...they kill the good AND bad bacteria...which means that chicks are way more prone to yeast infections...ummm..yeah. That sucks. But did I mention that my skin looks SO MUCH BETTER?! Highly recommended if your skin is jacked up.

Yeah...I know...
Yeah, I know. Haven't written much lately. Haven't been inspired.
A few random thoughts (as per...the title of this blog):
1. I'm starting to think that blogs are one notch down from MySpace...this whole "me me me" crap. Although to my defense, the only reason I've got a blog is 'cause people told me that I needed one, and I couldn't give a crap if people read it or not...I think I need a mental outlet for the ((bleep)) that goes through my mind.
2. Apparently blogs have become the new virtual forum to throw tomatoes at whoever's on stage...
3. America's Next Top Model is so brilliant, it's mind blowing. I've watched it from day 1 and it never gets old. The beauty of it (ha bad pun) is that it's all relative....
Relative to Dateline NBC, it's like mashed potatoes.
Relative to the Flavor of Love, it's rocket science.
I think it's safe to say that everyone loves Nnenna....
4. Recently I've been starting to form a love/hate relationship with Stash (the kitten that grew into a dairy cow of a cat)...but he's officially proven that he can earn his keep: he's brilliant at catching flying bugs. Which is great, since I'm pretty bug-a-phobic.
5. On a daily basis, I drive the ((bleep)) out of my coworkers by singing the Oscar Meyer weiner song, which is bizarre since I've never had an Oscar Meyer anything in my whole life.

Yeah...men frickin' SUCK
Male drivers waste more time
Yeahhhh boyyy! Sometimes, I just think men are effing useless. ALL of them.
Speaking of useless, American Idol is on right now...every now and then, I try to give it a chance...and then I hear that crappy ass singing...and I'm reminded WHY these people don't already have recording contracts. And I can't figure out who's more annoying...Ryan or Paula or Randy...Simon's the only one who looks just as unethused as I feel when I watch that show.

Don't have a blog man
Simpsons Intro, re-done
Pure brilliance!!
Gasp whatever will I watch on Mondays without Dr. 90210?!
Since I had nothing to do all weekend but park my ass in front of the tv, I ended up watching a TON of Food Network (plus...Armeggedon for the trillionth time...and Dogma, which I realized, i had never seen the end of)...
They had this one show that showed the "behind the scenes" of Food Network. It was actually super interesting.
Like obviously we all know that a given cooking show has a ton of people prepping the foods and all that, but the space used for the Food Network is astronimical. It seems like the chefs barely do anything.
That being said, take 30 Minute Meals...a few things to note:
1. Rachel Ray said she always gets asked if that's her house, and it's not (because the seasons never change outside)...which is funny, because I asked that when I saw her.
2. The oven is retro, but the fridge is brand new...they just created a custom retro-looking shell for it
3. She has a HUGE room of "pretty" servingware
4. Since they can't show labels, they make their own. That's key, 'cause it always bugged me that they had those bizarre labels on her products...turns out, one dude makes fake labels but they're super funny the hidden messages he's got on them...
5. There's a chick who cleans up at the "break"...yeah garbage bowl my ass, no wonder it looks clean...
6. What's fascinating is the choreography...i really didn't realize how much of it had to be orchestrated. Like "step here, step here, go here, get this from the fridge, come back here"...that blew me away, 'cause she films 4 episodes/day so that's alot to remember.
I used to wonder with Everyday Italian what the deal was with Giada's kitchen...it's too "homely" to be a set but it changes each season. Well turns out, i was kinda right...for 2 months straight they rent and supe up homes in Hollywood...the garage gets converted to a prep area...
The other thing I used to wonder was wtf was up with the filming, like there's always this haze...turns out, they use movie film instead of video film, which uses less frames per second.
And lastly...yes, those are her friends they show on TV.
What they didn't answer: I'm pretty sure Giada's had a boob job. I take her boobs seriously. In early seasons she was pretty flat...i mean, come ON...she's like 90lbs with boobage on her tiny frame...
So now you know!

There and Back
Thanks to Nicole, I forced myself to watch the There & Back marathon (uh since I had no car and didn't feel compelled to do anything other than sit on the couch and eat crap all day...my "To Dos" for this weekend all required a CAR!!)
I always wondered what the deal was with that show but I never clued in as to who Ashley was....hell yeah, we're talkin' Ashley from O-Town! I loved Making The Band season 1!!! And I dug Ashley...so naturally I had to watch the marathon (well it was either that...or...some Cheech and Chong movie on Comedy Central. Seriously, there's NOTHING to do when you have no car!)....
In the episode where Ashley did some construction work (how bad does that suck, finding out that you're building the living room for a chick who used to listen to O-town...and that's not intentional), i was like "wow, now THAT'S a man who provides for his family"....and then I thought, "Can I do construction so that I can get myself a new frickin' car?!?!?!"...
Here's the thing. I don't "do" the huge long loans, I paid my car off in one year and if I get another car sometime soon, that would be my plan as well.
I'm telling you...if I had a half-decent body I'd spend a few amateur nights down at the strip club and work my way to getting a car paid in cash...damn you mother nature for not endowing me with nothing more than cellulite and a gut!
Okay well this whole post was useless, but the entire day was useless...other than fortunately the car costs are under $1000, which is always a refreshing change for my Once A Year Car Issue...

Another edition of....
Time to play another edition of, Where Does Sabina's Money Go?
Here's your first hint...I use it every day...
And the big clue: every year between Jan and March I spend money on it...
You guessed it! My ghetto-mobile of a car. Two days ago I heard a "clinging" noise in my car, but I thought it was something inside in the backseat or something.
Then at lunch yesterday the folks I was driving pointed out that it was coming from the brake area...
And then today, I couldn't start my car, ironically, when I was trying to take it in to fix the clanging noise.
From what Kraig could barely see, the belt around the alternator broke, which is what caused the battery to die (thank GOD...i replaced that mofo fairly recently)...but now he's worried the belt tied around the brake area, and why didn't i do something sooner blah blah (how much sooner can you get? Geezus).
So after much hoopla getting my car TOWED, because we had issues trying to jump it...it's in the shop, and in an hour I'll know just how broke I'm going to be.
Mother effer. Plus, I have no car for the day and I had a ton of stuff to do. MOTHER. EFFER.
We tried to figure out a way to afford another car payment...um yeah that's not happening (I refuse to do a 7 year loan that maybe yeah will only cost me $200 a month, but then if the car craps out like mine is now i'll end up owing more after the car is dead anyway).
MOTHER
EFFER
WHYYYY hasn't anyone invented teleportation yet?!?!
side note
Bryan: yeah i've done Pilates a ton, but that's not gonna help me with my splits endeavor.

My blog's got paneled walls
So thanks to Carrie's depressing link to Fortune magazine (Cubicles: The great mistake), I've been thinking about cube life more than normal.
The author in her native environment
I pretty much feel that cubes are a slap in the face of your employees. Ha ha, in order to have a roof over your head, ironically, we can slave-drive you in a box without a roof over your head.. You know the expression of a hundred monkeys typing away on a hundred typewriters...that's how I feel each day sitting in a cube.
Disclaimer: I love my job, I'm grateful I have a job, blah blah. This isn't job-centric. This is WORK-centric. No matter who my employer is, I still feel this way. /job security blurb.
I guess it could be worse. I briefly worked for a consulting company and was on location at Nortel...now as fantastic as Nortel was to work (every non-payday Friday was "TGIF" where they brought in ice cream, food, drinks....every Friday was fantastic!), they put their consultants in one of those "open concept" type of things. I guess it's good for productivity...you can't exactly surf the web easily...but that also meant if the jackass next to you was talking with another dude aobut something on his screen, you might as well have been involved in the conversation. Heck, we used to talk so much that it got to the point that we were notorious chatters...call me crazy, but if you put say a group of people at a wedding at the same dinner table...even without initially knowing each other....in the end, they WILL end up talking. You want to get people to shut up and work? Help them not SEE each other.
So yeah, it could be worse.
And I've only ever shared a cube once, which worked out well because it was with someone with just as little job ethics as I had (name withheld to protect the innocent...the STARR witness....)...
But in the end, unless you've got a DOOR...cubes just effing suck. The same job where I had to share a cube, the managers didn't even get offices...but ohhhh, to show seniority...they got little sliding doors. WTF. Who actually thinks "well the peons get cubes...the managers will get cubes and plexiglass doors...yes that'll show them who's got rank"....
I used to want to hang a shower curtain as a door....
Lemme tell you about HALF cube walls. First off, you can't hang JACK on the walls...everything gets knocked over because it's all at desk-level. And people ALWAYS hang over the side of the walls to chat, which not only makes things fall even more, but also makes it hard to get anything done. Don't get me wrong, i LOVE chatting with people, and I'm just as guilty...i'm blaming the cube walls, not the people. Heck, you can't even have a decent shelving system with half cube walls because the shelf ends up just sitting on your desk.
I pretty much think that the idiots who decide cube strategies all have OFFICES and know nothing about how people in cubes work.
You know who knows cube life? The guy who invented monitor mirrors. THAT DUDE deserves a nobel prize.
Another critical factor in the cubicle's rapid ascent was Uncle Sam. During the 1960s, to stimulate business spending, the Treasury created new rules for depreciating assets. The changes specified clearer ranges for depreciation and established a shorter life for furniture and equipment, vs. longer ranges assigned to buildings or leasehold improvements. (Today companies can depreciate office furniture in seven years, whereas permanent structures--that is, offices with walls--are assigned a 39.5-year rate.)
The upshot: A company could recover its costs quicker if it purchased cubes. When clients told Herman Miller of that unexpected benefit, it became a new selling point for the Action Office. After only two years on the market, sales soared. Competitors took notice.
I think my ASS is depreciating at a rate of 7 years. I should be able to write that off on my taxes too wtf.

Letter to the Editor
You don't know who John Stewart is? Are you retarded?
First off, it's JON stewart retard-boy...secondly, i was typing fast and I kept having Bill O'Reilly's name going through my head and I drew a mental blank.
Suck it.

yeah yeah
I'll get to blogging something, however I lead such a boring life I haven't had much to say, although this deserves special mention since I had witnesses...
On another note, someone needs to invent a NapMobile. Like they have mobile carwashes that come to your work and clean your car while it's parked....why not have a mobile NapMobile so that when people want to nap during their lunchhour they can go into a little area and sleep? Basically you're paying for a bed, clean sheets, and silence. People don't need alot of room...they can be little pods or something, japanese-style.
Sorry...when I think of something witty and/or enlightening, i'll let you all know....
On another note, someone needs to invent a NapMobile. Like they have mobile carwashes that come to your work and clean your car while it's parked....why not have a mobile NapMobile so that when people want to nap during their lunchhour they can go into a little area and sleep?

Cranky sleepy tired blog
For more humorous pleasure ('cause i'm in a bad mood, bad self esteem, very sleepy, very "whoa is me" mood right now), I think hands-down That Maddox Site is the best site ever.

Okay, i gotta buy SOMETHING from BustedTees...
These are the best ones:
(If yer a myspace user, you'd get that one)
If i wasn't somewhat religious, and anti-wearing anything that has a religious name or image on it, i would SOOOO get this one:
Just effing fabulous:
Ahhhh I swear, I need more money for random useless stuff that I can never wear or use.

My blog would like to thank the Academy
Quick quick quick thoughts before the orchestra drowns me out...
1. I'm a BBQing grill-mastah! It's not like I've never BBQed before, but usually if Kraig is around I'd prefer that he do it (because i just don't LIKE it...the prepwork and all that)...but tonight, gasp, I actually BBQed all by my little ol' self while Kraig was out...and DAMN I made a mean, mean, MEAN mutha-effing chicken.
Okay really it came down to:
Anyone who's seen my pantry knows that I stock marinade like I'm stocking a bomb shelter. I keep buying marinades not realizing that I've got bottles and bottles of the same ones at home. Screw waiting for summer...i gotta start using this stuff up now. So I think Sundays are gonna be Marinated Chicken Night.
Mmm
mm
good
2. I didn't like Reese's dress.
3. I LOVED Keira's dress, Salma's dress, and Felicity's dress.
4. I think Ludacris was the best dressed guy, hands-down.
5. I never used to like George Clooney, but now that he's older and has grey hair, for some reason, this distinguished-look has piqued my interest.
6. I didn't think what's-his-face (the presenter, totally drawing a blank) was that funny,but it was a riot that he found it so hysterical that Three 6 Mafia were so hyped up by the win.
7. George Clooney's speech was PERFECT.
8. The chicken I made was really, really good.
9. Quite possibly, Jessica Alba is the most stunning gorgeous woman on the PLANET. Angelina looks hideous next to her even.
10. I think I'm going to start a "Let's Tell Sabina She Reminds People of Eva Longoria" fund....it's the hair! And I heard it again Friday. Now if only I had her money, her acting chops, her ass, her abs, and designers throwing their loot my way, I'd be SET. I guess I'll have to settle for the hair.

The Office
Okay so hands-down, Thursday nights are probably the most amazing thing to happen to TV. First you've got the OC, but you've also got My Name is Earl and The Office.
I'm officially obsessed with THe Office. Enough to rent the original BBC version and have a mini-marathon.
I'm checking out their website and they've got a mock-Dunder Mifflin site......the best is the "Featured Product" and its sku....that is effing hilarious.
The best part is, we've all got those types in our office or have in the past...
Michael Scott (the boss) easily reminds me of a certain chicken-skinned boss I had in San Jose for my first job here (Tony, you know who i mean...)
Pam is the Every Girl...pretty much all of us chicks...the ones who have the jobs but clearly would rather be in the big house with the big bucks...
Jim is the guy that we've all had a bit of a crush on, but would never admit to. What's funny is that the actor isn't a good-looking actor...but if he was a real dude in my office, OMG i would so have a mini-crush on him.
The Indian chick is the one who hangs out at your cube and NEVER shuts up.
That blond chick who's always bitter.....mannnnnn every company has the sourpuss beotch. Fortunately the one that she reminds me of I no longer have to deal with, but overall i don't think it's possible to have a workplace without her.
It kinda makes me want to work for a paper company....'cause at least they have flatscreen monitors.
On another note...
The New Year's Resolutions have taken a sour note.
First off, because for awhile i was diggin' the refinery thing (okay, not massively...but...better) but now I'm very "ahhh f*ck it all....take my attitude and shove it up your ass". Seriously disgruntled lately at life.
Why don't you just get over life?
As for the being a better wife...umm...haven't cooked dinner lately...AND...to top it off, we had ordered a ton of pizza and by the next day, i ate ALL the leftover...Kraig was like "i'll just have pizza...". Not only was there no pizza, there was no wife making him an alternative dinner either. I didn't even get up to pop a microwave meal in the freezer for him.
As for the splits....this morning I was so depressed over my lack of flexibility that I"m thinking I'm better off if someone just breaks me at the joints. People, I can't even touch my knees. MY KNEES. Let alone my toes. So this splits thing...you can imagine how far away I am from that pipe dream. I'm one stiff mofo.

Vocal tinkering with my future, one syllable at a time
Blatant advertising for Bryan's Blog http://zabtron.blogspot.com/
The Oscars are this weekend, and I've decided I've had it with award shows...anythingon VH1 or MTV is different, 'cause at least there's little mini skits or tons of music...plus formal stuff, forget it. All i need is my Red Carpet and I'm good to go. Especially now that Isaac Mizrahi is on E!.
I sure hope it rains on Sunday. That would be effing awesome.
In other news, this week I bought my first Girl Scout cookies. In canada they're "Girl Guides"...and there's 3 flavors...chocolate (two chocolate cookies with chocolate icing), vanilla (same deal), and then the "thin mint" kinds. That's IT. Although honestly, those Vanilla ones are to DIE for...i can't believe out of all the Girl Scout cookies they have here, they don't have the vanilla kind.
So in the US, Girl Scouts are seriously the reason for the rising waistlines....I can't begin to explain the number of cookies you can buy from them....things that shouldn't even be combined to form edible delectables are on the order sheet...
In other news, this is kind of a nerdy fun read....The history of the first Macs from teh guys who built them...they even have an entry for when they first presented a Mac to Mick Jagger.
And just 'cause I have not much to think of....(a particular person who shall remain nameless inspired me to write this)...Things that guys should either do or are responsible for....aka "Just be a f*cking man for God's sakes"
1. I'm sorry, but dammit, MEN EAT BURGERS. Round, ground up hunks of beef slapped between bread. And yes, they ahve to be round...if all you ate were White Castle burgers...well...you've got issues (moreso because your burgers have little holes in them)....And YES the bread is required. When i first met Kraig he was all Atkins before it was popular...and i was SO embarassed that he wouldn't eat the bun...I don't think I would have married him if eventually he didn't go back to eating burgers the normal, MANLY way.
2. Men should do the driving. Now don't get me wrong, there's plenty of times that I drive, especially when it's my car and i know where i'm going and he doesn't....but overall as a whole, if a group of people are going out...the majority of the time, the dude should drive. Not because it's the manly thing to do...but because, when asked, most guys will say "I'd probably drive...." because "I don't mind driving" or "I like driving"...
3. Men should do the BBQing. That includes all the prep work for it. Because they like raw meat and fire. I have no PROBLEMS barbequing...but do i really want raw meat steamed into my pores? I don't think so.
4. This one is Kraig's: it's the man's job to take out the trash. That being said, clearly to him that means only the kitchen trash because i'm the one running around from room to room wtf.
And a few more from said person, who shall remain nameless in case anyone wants to rip her a new one:
5. Opening car doors: so true...which also applies to regular doors....it's just SOOOO nice when a guy does that. I know you guys don't have to, but when you do...well...just know, we LOVE it.
6. Pay for taxi cabs: you know, i've never had a guy pay for a cab in full. WTF. Usually it's just a scramble for whoever's got cash.
7. Tip bellboys and other ancillary people that need to be tipped at hotels, valets, etc. ABSOLUTELY! I can't believe I didn't think of it myself, but yes, it's brilliant. I despise handing over the cash to another dude at a hotel, and it's usually a dude carrying your bags anyway...so it should be a man-to-man cash exchange.
8. Pump gas....yeah and I hate to admit this one, but deep down I do expect the dude to pump the gas. Especially since once time the gas totally leaked like crazy everywhere and if i've got open-toed shoes...that's just not right.
9. Mow the lawn: what's interesting is that growing up, my mom had this thing that I had to do dishes (not that often) and my brother had to mow the lawn (we lived in snow, that didn't happen much either)...i complained the mowing wasn't that bad so my brother and i switched for a week...OH MY GOD was I retarded?! My brother had teh dishes done in like 15 minutes and an hour later, i was still hauling that heavy ass thing around.
10. Wash the car: actually this one I kinda disagree with....I'm not sure why....i guess because I've never seen Kraig wash a car before, he always goes in to get it cleaned....i don't think i've EVER dated a guy who washed his own car....
11. Home improvement projects: ummm...well yeah that's good in theory....but if i want them done right (or really...done at ALL)...we know who's got the cordless drill in one hand, the hammer in the other....
So generally, here's what it comes down to...
I'm pretty independant, and I'm more than capable of doing anything on my own (whether it's grilling, wiring, or bellboy tipping)...but when a guy does it, it makes a chick feel super girly-girl and taken are of...if you like yer woman to have warm fuzzies when she's around you (i.e. increase your chances of getting laid)...suck it up and open the damn door.

Porn Starr...
Gasp Porn Starr and his wife got a house...

Letter to the Editor
"I'm trying to be more refined this year, anyway, I'm not sure the best way to cup the nuts during a B.J....."
It's a tough decision every female must make!
It's a tough decision every female must make!
The Denver Crips
I don't know what it is about James Blunt, but there's something his face that I find captivating.
So let's get down to business...
1. American Idol
Quite truthfully, I hate this show. I only watch it when Kraig's watching it, and last night the way we had both TVs going with the DVRs, I didn't have much choice. To me it's nothing more than a flashy karaoke bar show. Now don't get me wrong...I dig the tall guy with the long hair (he reminds me of Smith from SATC)...and i REALLY like the bald guy, Chris....but wtf the judges are so retarded (If I hear the word "dawg" one more time, I'll stab either myself or the tv)....
PLUS...I hate that American Idol theme song. They play it ALL the frickin' time, i'd rather hear the drilling of a root canal.
2.America's Next Top Model
So they had a "where are they now" episode last night (got DVRed, I didn't see the whole thing)...all I gotta say is....DAMN I LOVE THAT SHOW. It's nowhere near as good without Janice Dickinson, but I'll take what I can get. There is nothing, NOTHING better than a show that is based purely on fluff. I love it.
3. Real World - Key West
I would just die to look like Svetlana (the Russian chick)....she's gorgeous and big-boobed...what more do you need in life? And when you've got looks and a body like that, you can be uber annoying...just like she is. But the annoying pretty girls always get their way, and I'm sure she does too. I wanna be that way! WTF!
And okay...I'll admit it. I dig the meat-head from this season. Normally I don't, but this frat boy...ohhh I dig him. Maybe it's his excessive arrogance. Maybe it's that he's definitely the Alpha Male. But what it probably is is that he brought his Inflatable Doll with him...and that's effing hilarious. Plus he's cute as hell.
That's my confession. He's super unlikeable, and yet, I wouldn't kick him out of my bed....
In other news, that Janelle girl works for MAC in San Jose....which means she works at the same location that Kraig's ex-girlfriend worked at. Good times.
is it bad that I laughed my ass off at a South Park rerun where Christopher Reeves was ripping fetuses' heads off and drinking their blood?

Narcisism at it's best
Your senior year in High School is supposed to be
"The best year of your life."
Let's see how much you remember:
Year: 1996
1. Who was your best friend?
Geezus...Stacey, Erin, Katie, Christine, Sylvia, Bryan..."Immediate Family" we used to say....plus Jensen, Wendy, Ryan, Andrew, "Jeffy"....sigh my boy Anthony....
2. What sports did you play?
Uh...i played Girl's Touch Football in grade 9....
3. What kind of car did you drive?
My parents' Camry or my brother's crappy Mazda 323 (I'm sure CHris still remembers the license plates)....
4. It's Friday night, where were you at?
One of two places....either at the movies (Cineplex Odeon by Place lol) or in Hull getting my AuZone drinking/clubbing groove on....or a Daiglefest :P
5. Were you a party animal?
I was becoming one....
6. Were you in the "In Crowd"?
In grade 9, we were the coolest of the losers. By OAC/Grade 13, we were the Losers of the Cool People.
7. Ever skip school?
The beauty of being a nerd is that you can skip classes because teachers actually think you didn't want to miss class. I used Tom's death as an excuse...and then my dad's heart attack ("Miss....i have to take my dad for his physical..."...riiighhhttt...)
8. Ever smoke?
Uh, once in high school....a few more since then.
9. Were you a nerd?
When you argue with your teacher that your 98% should have been 100%, yeah i'd say you were up there.
10. Did you get suspended/expelled?
Obviously not. At Sir Wil (Bryan, refresh my memory), i think only one dude got expelled...for showing up massively drunk to a school dance.
11. Can you sing the Alma Mater?
The what now?
12. Who was your favorite teacher?
MR. McCartney....best inspiration ever...I wish i could hunt him down...
13. Favorite class?
All the sciences...

Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary School
15. School mascot?
A lancer. Don't ask.
16. Did you go to Prom?
I went to like 6 proms.
17. If you could go back and do it over, would you?
HELL YEAH! I loved high school.
18. What do you remember most about graduation?
Well with grade 12 being graduation from high school vs. grade 13 just OAC graduation...the "real" grade 12 one was stupid because I knew i was going back...OAC I think I was like "get me out of this place already"....
19. Favorite memory of your Senior Year?
Daiglefests....thank GOD Ryan's parents liked to travel to Florida...all the movies almost every Friday/Sat night...rollerblading all the time with a certain boy who took my mind off the worst breakup of all time....
20. Were you ever posted up on the senior wall?
WTF does that mean? I don't get this american school jargon.
21. Did you have a job your senior year?
Geezus I've been working since I was 13. By then let's see...Le Chateau...National Trust (a bank that got bought by Scotia Bank)...and that job where I had to sell tutoring things to parents....
22. Who did you date?
Date...or..."date"....
23. Where did you go most often for lunch?
Ha other than the Caf....we'd pile into Stacey's LeBaron and head over to that Loeb area...or McD's....
24. Have you changed much since then?
Hell yeah...I was a confident motherf*cker back then, I figured I was going to rule the world. Now it's like...can I stab myself with a fork yet?!!!
25. What did you do after graduation?
Worked...then went to Ottawa U (and still worked). Hung out in ROckland (boonies!) alot...
Boy wasn't that fun....
"The best year of your life."

22. Who did you date?
Date...or..."date"....

Ha other than the Caf....we'd pile into Stacey's LeBaron and head over to that Loeb area...or McD's....
24. Have you changed much since then?
Hell yeah...I was a confident motherf*cker back then, I figured I was going to rule the world. Now it's like...can I stab myself with a fork yet?!!!

In N Out: my blog likes extra pickles
So on KFI this morning they talked about In N Out (because there's that crazy lawsuit, blah blah), and so I figured I would scope out the Secret Menu 'cause I had no idea what a "wishburger" was...
From http://www.zenlemur.com/innout.shtml
In N Out's Secret Menu
So for those of you non-Cali folks, In N Out is a burger chain that's like...a religion here, and it's jsut interesting because it's all fresh yummy stuff...but it's still a fast-food chain. Plus, the menu itself has like 4 items on it, buty ou can order things all bizarre (i.e. the Secret Menu, above)...which is so interesting to think of not presenting your full list of items on a menu (common sense) but that just adds to the allure of In N Out.
Side note: if you watch The OC, if you see the kids drinking soda out of a drink thingy that's white with red palm trees...yep, that's In N Out.
MMM
mmm
good....
From http://www.zenlemur.com/innout.shtml
In N Out's Secret Menu
- "Animal Style" - bun is grilled with mustard, sauteed onions instead of raw, pickles, extra "special sauce" - [this can also be applied to fries (Note: I recently tried this on fries, but don't personally recommend it / Nov. 2, 2003)]
- "Wish Burger" - no meat, i.e. veggie burger
- "Protein Style" - lettuce wrapped around the burger instead of a bun for all of you who are in "The Zone"
- Update 12/23/2003 - there is no such thing as "Old Fashioned Style" - originally I had this listed as "ketchup and mustard instead of the weird special sauce" but that is incorrect as a call from In-n-Out today revealed.
- "Flying Dutchman" - two meat patties with two slices of cheese. that's it.
- "Double Meat" - Double Double without cheese
- "4x4" - 4 meat patties with 4 slices of cheese. Are you SURE you can eat that?
- "2x4" - 2 meat patties with 4 slices of cheese for the fromage afficionado
- "Grilled Cheese" - cheeseburger, sans meat
- "Fries - well done" - get your fries extra crispy and brown the way you like them!
- "Choco-Vanilla Swirl Shake" - just what it sounds like Note: this is not an official secrent menu item, but at most In-n-Out Burgers they will make it if asked for... 12/23/2003
- "Neopolitan Shake" - a blend of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry shakes.
So for those of you non-Cali folks, In N Out is a burger chain that's like...a religion here, and it's jsut interesting because it's all fresh yummy stuff...but it's still a fast-food chain.

Dear Abby
Killing MORE time...
I present to you...Dating and Personals, Sabina's Opinion...all the questions come from MSN.COM, but you'll get MY opinion...
Dear Lynn,
I am a 22-year-old woman that has seen all of the sex that I want to see. I’ve seen the highs and lows and came to the conclusion that it is all pointless without your life partner, so I recently decided to become a "secondary virgin." My only problem is, how do I present this to the men that I date? I have tried to do so in the past, but they all think that it’s a joke. Any suggestions?
-Re-strapping On My Chastity Belt
If at 22 you've seen all the sex you want to see, you are either:
a) an idiot
b) a whore
c) all of the above
My suggestion is: go get yourself checked for STDs, call your pimp and give him the bad news, and close your frickin' legs.
Dear Lynn,
I've been dating this guy for nearly three years. It's mostly an Internet thing, but I've spent time with him twice and his family as well. They're really nice people that try their best to make me feel comfortable. My boyfriend says he's ready for the next step in our relationship: Me moving in with him. However, when we argue, he will ignore me for days at a time—and when he comes back around, he wants to act like things are fine, like nothing happened. How would he act if/when I do move in? Time and time again, I've apologized to him after he's hurt my feelings, just for the sake of keeping peace in the relationship. He knows I hate to argue and fight, but he throws out comments just to hurt me sometimes. I love this guy with all my heart. I want a future with him, and I keep hoping one day he'll wake up and change, but is this a futile hope?
-Tearful and Tired
So when he ignores you for days, does that mean you can go out with your friends...watch tv in silence...do the laundry...go out, get plastered, and come home without hearing him bitch about you probably went out to pick up? Sounds like a good deal to me. Otherwise...he's a guy...guys like simple...ask him "Are you giving me the silent treatment? That's what a girl would do. That's so gay. Are you gay? Holy sh*t you ARE gay..."...that'll get him to start speaking again and prove he's a man by letting you get your bitching out of your system, or at least, yelling which will get you the communication you clearly crave.
Hi Lynn,
During the past six years, I have been involved in an on-again, off-again relationship with my college sweetheart. Time after time, we've gotten together and then decided to call it quits because of different circumstances. The real issue now is that over the years, she has gained more than 40 pounds.
I love her and could see myself with her for the long haul; however, her weight gain has really been a major issue in my not wanting to make a commitment to her. I have spoken to her about this issue a few times within the past few years, and I’ve gone as far as to write her workout plans, offer nutritional advice and advocate her making a lifestyle change. She isn't offended by my complaints, but aside from an occasional modest weight loss, she has regained the weight. I’m not shallow or using the weight issue to get out of the relationship: I'm worried about both the potential long-term health risks and, quite honestly, have become less attracted to her physically. Do you have any advice?
Yeah i got advice you cheap bastard...if you truly love her, then spend the money on lipo. Then you both get what you want. So shut your pie hole and take her to Dr. Rey. Oh, this only applies if you've got the body of an Adonis.

Dear Lynn,
My boyfriend and I have been together for more than a year and we have a five-month-old child together. My problem is that he is still married. We live together, and he hasn't been with his wife for three years now. I love him very much and he says he loves me, too. He says that he wants the divorce, but still hasn't gotten it. Am I being a fool by staying in this situation? What would you advise?
First off, you should get off the crack you're snorting...because clearly you had to have been on that to have a kid with a guy who's got a wife. A WIFE YOU IDIOT. You know what that means? It means she still gets to make medical decisions if something happens to him. It means if she effs up her credit history, HIS credit history is effed up. It means you better hope that he changed his beneficiary to your kid on his bank statements, or else you're f*cked. What would I advise? Getting a good lawyer to make sure your kid is taken care of if something happens to him, 'cause if I were his wife I'd murder his lousy ass.

Boys are just gross
So I don't have too much to say and I've got time to kill...so here's some random thoughts on all those things chicks are supposed to keep quiet about.
It's like Samantha on Sex and The City once said...a guy once dumped her because she missed a bikini wax. Women are NOT supposed to be human (episode where Carrie...uh...does something...in front of Big)...
Which I'm more than fine with. Kraig was getting upset the other day because I kept saying "are you done with the bathroom, are you done with the bathroom" 'cause i had to take care of the upper lip business...and there's 3 things i refuse to ever, EVER let a guy see...2 of them involve bodily functions and the other one involves the bleaching of one's upper lip...
He insisted that he HAS seen that, which I will argue to my grave. I don't care if we're stranded in some random remote area and I have to go in the bushes...he will NEVER see me. I don't care if I have a catheter...he better hire a friggin' nurse (go ahead, get a hot blond, i'll have other issues to worry about)....
We shave our legs
We shave other areas
I've had HOT WAX drip into my gonads
I bleach my teeth
I pluck the crap out of my eyebrows
I slather a boatload of moisturizer on my feet at night....
Chicks just aren't allowed to be gross. Ever.
So we all know guys are gross...but why can't they limit that sh*t amongst their own kind? I'm supposed to be a lady on my own...but around a guy, suddenly I'm at baboon-levels eating lice off his head (that was a metaphor....I've never actually dealt with a guy who had lice)...
And I know guys are neanderthal and think things that are gross are like trophies and prizes worth showing off. But are they RETARDED?! Show that crap (ha, literally) to your buddies, but i am NOT a buddy and I'm STILL a chick and i do NOT want to be involved in anything remotely nasty or gross whatsoever.
My friend/ex-cubemate Tony once drank an entire container of KFC gravy in order to get enough cash to visit his then-girlfriend...I am positive if the poor girl actually lived with him, she would have been subjected to him showing her all the nasty things that the human body does when it consumes family-sized quantities of leftover chicken drippings.
Kraig once drank a bottle of Tabasco. Fortunately, I didn't know him at the time. Unfortunately, I've heard enough about the side-effects that I might as well have been there at the time.
I dated another guy who's mother ALWAYS made her infamous Sour Cream Chocolate Cake (it was good, but not THAT good)...well he would never wrap it up, and he'd eat the whole thing in like a week by sitting in bed in his dorm with it...by then it would get dry and crumbly...i'm sure there was growth on it since he never covered it...it was basially the Sub that Homer kept eating even after Marge through it out....anyway his bed was a perpetual pit of these chocolate cake crumbs because he never once changed his bedsheets...it was just effing nasty. A chick once stopped me in a bar and pointed to him and said how he never changed his sheets when he lived in the dorm...i was like "yeah, and he's a guy...they're ALL effing disgusting"....
I actually spent $70 on cleaning products and walked, IN HEELS, IN THE SUMMER, for almost an hour to get back to his place in order to clean the frickin' bathroom, i couldn't handle it anymore.
THEN...after cleaning the bathroom, his roommate was like "get out, I need to use the toilet"...i'm like "go f*ck yourself, i just cleaned this"...clearly it then became war between me and his roommate...i had this air freshner thing that could open/close behind the toilet, and he KEPT CLOSING IT SHUT...that f*cker.
Boys
are
NASTY
Just effing nasty. I mean, why am I shaving my armpits when they've got hair longer than a Barbie doll's going on in there...
I've said it before, I'll say it again...if chicks had penises, I'd be a lesbian....guys are just effing gross and nasty.
I have to give credit to one guy i briefly dated...the place was a disaster, but he steered me straight for his room every time...it's like, he KNEW it was vile....the less time I gotta climb over dusty cardboard boxes, the better.

Peanut Butter is your friend!
This cracked me up, from Muppets 3D: A salute to all nations, but primarily America
So I came up with a few random things that I think are a testament to a guy's manliness:
That's not all-inclusive...just some stuff that came to mind.
Here's the general list of things that a chick should be able to do:
1. Give good head, or at least, be willing to learn how
2. How to decline sex without making the guy feel rejected when really, it's because she's got a yeast infection, bladder infection, is on the rag, or hasn't shaved her legs and she's not at that point with the dude where he can be exposed to any of that
3. How to wash cashmere, even if you don't ever own a cashmere item
4. How to cry without getting your face all red (i mean, you can bawl your heart out if you're in pail...but if you gotta stifle it, there's an art to stifling so that you get some tears out without your face looking like you've got roseacea)
5. How to fix a broken nail in a pinch (hint: matchbook)
6. How to sew a button (tip: to avoid it altogether, put some clear nailpolish on the threads of a new shirt)
7. How to bake at least one mean dessert (muffins and bread count as dessert)
8. How to walk in heels at least 3" high (they don't have to be pumps...that's my rule...'cause I overpronate and I can't walk in pumps of any height, i need straps!)...work your way up to 4". And then rest your back for the rest of the rest of the night 'cause that sh*t ain't chiropractically-sound...
9. How to style your hair when it hasn't been washed so that it doesn't scream "I haven't washed my hair! It's Sunday! Suck it!"
10. HOw to do Kegels (not that any of us actually DO them...but you should know how...for...whatever reason)
So speaking of heels, I'm having serious shoe issues. I had the craziest amount of shoes but then I got rid of ALOT of them (back from my Le Chateau years), and the amount in my closet is killing me. Plus, the weather in Orange County is freakin' awesome....I sometimes forget that there was a time when, if you wanted to wear heels in February, you went through hell and a half to not damage your shoes while freezing your ass of and almost slipping and breaking your back. So I've been trying to replenish my shoe supply but it's insanely hard to find shoes my size (5...or 5 1/2), especially if they're on sale or aren't brand new arrivals (and no, i'm not blowing hundreds on a pair of shoes...boots, yes, but shoes...unless they were to DIE for, which i have yet to find..boots, however, i'll pay whatever necessary....)
Oh, someone needs to remind me to post what Jackass Who Told Me I Need To Learn THe Splits once did involving a porn about BJs....
So I came up with a few random things that I think are a testament to a guy's manliness:
- driving manual
- using jumper cables when the batteries die
- being able to carry a chick out of a burning building
- knowing how to start a fire and cook raw meat...i.e. BBQing
- EATING meat...this vegetarian thing for guys isn't cool
- instinctively move so that at no times the chick is walking closest to the road
- removing a tshirt should never start by pulling your arms out of the tshirt before taking it off (unless the guys plans on wearing it again for whatever reason without washing it)....only because it's hot when a dude takes his shirt off by starting with the back and ripping it off...
That's not all-inclusive...just some stuff that came to mind.
Here's the general list of things that a chick should be able to do:
1. Give good head, or at least, be willing to learn how
2. How to decline sex without making the guy feel rejected when really, it's because she's got a yeast infection, bladder infection, is on the rag, or hasn't shaved her legs and she's not at that point with the dude where he can be exposed to any of that

Letters to the editor....
Marlene: ughghgh I gotta stop EATING relative to the exercise though lol...even though on a whim I went last night at midnight to the gym, but I go primarily to relieve stress...I find when I don't go, I'm 100% pure bitchy (as opposed to only 90%....)...I figure, I'm doing a public service when I go!
Bryan: a certain Rockland guy was the non-hockey player (I mean, couldn't skate, couldn't do JACK) even though he played every other sport. Plus he drove his mom's Tercel....and he WHINED....<>...
And you KNOW it was the university boyfriend who said the splits comment! Who else would be that much of an ass?

shhh...sneak in a quickie
Just a few quick thoughts...
0. On the subject of hockey still:
Yesterday a coworker asked me if I played hockey...I'm like "pfft maybe it's different now..but growing up...girls don't play hockey, we DATE hockey players"...(I mean, we may have WANTED to...but I've watched a hellofalotta more games than I've ever played)
In Canada I think i dated only one guy who wasn't a hockey player, and I gotta admit...his manly quotient wasn't all that high in my eyes. I think it's something in the water that makes you think like that.
1. THANK YOU NORMAN....we're going to California Adventure today! We owe you big time :)
2. So I have this other site (well I've got a ton) that I was using kind of just like an online diary (yes, i'm one of those chicks who's been writing her in her diary since she was like 10) but they underwent a massive drive failure and now all the data is lost...i've been using that site for like 4 years and it's just so weird to me that all that data is gone, it's like, there's no proof that I existed for the past 4 years almost (they kept saying there would be a download/backup feature, but it never got implemented). All my wedding planning, all that stuff, was in that diary. Very very weird to me, and it makes me super sad to say the least...
...yeah. just...sucks.
3. Sasha Cohen at the skating exhibition last night...holy SH*T that girl is crazy good. She didn't do any jumps but she can contort her body like no one's business.
WHICH leads me to...
4. I dated a jackass who insisted I should learn how to do the splits (yeah, c'mon guys...will it REALLY make a diff if your girl knows the splits? I mean, REALLY?), and I busted my ass for a year each morning stretching like a mofo. Well after seeing Sasha...i'm back on.
I call it, Contortion 2.0....aka....Do The Splits Before Age 30....
Which will clearly be my 3rd new year's resolution for this year.
(Do The Splits Before Age 30 Or Pull A Groin Muscle Trying more like it)....
5. When will someone invent an at-home lipo machine? Just a straw attached to a Dyson or something. If i can do an at-home glycolic peel, if I can do at-home microdermabrasion, I damn well should be able to suck the fat out of my thighs myself as well.
6. I was at the gym till midnight yesterday (well i mean...i only got there at like 10:45). Suck it. Which either means I'm dedicated like crazy or I clearly have no life.
7. Is it bad to want to rip your husband a new one when you come home from work, exhausted, and he took the day off to be sick (yeah thanks Marlene for that one), and the home is still a disaster when you get home?!!
8. On another note, I switched air fresheners (the plugin kind, i went from Glade to Airwick) and Kraig went on this huge rant that he doesn't know why it smells like perfume but he is NOT having an affair on me...so I'm like "uh I'm not really too worried about that" which then lead to this HUGE discussion about how he COULD get a chick if he wanted to (I'm not disputing that...but if he could choose a saturday night of D&D or a sat night mackin' some chick, we all know what he'd pick)...I think he was really upset that I knew it was the air freshener and not some lavender-scented chick perfume.
9. Looks like we're finally doing a trip to San Jose end of March...
10. Looks like my mom is gonna postpone her trip until Autumn...oh thank GOD (how that works with my dad's free ticket is beyond me, but there are certain things in life that I just don't question).
Booyah.
0. On the subject of hockey still:
Yesterday a coworker asked me if I played hockey...I'm like "pfft maybe it's different now..but growing up...girls don't play hockey, we DATE hockey players"...(I mean, we may have WANTED to...but I've watched a hellofalotta more games than I've ever played)
In Canada I think i dated only one guy who wasn't a hockey player, and I gotta admit...his manly quotient wasn't all that high in my eyes. I think it's something in the water that makes you think like that.
1. THANK YOU NORMAN....we're going to California Adventure today! We owe you big time :)
2. So I have this other site (well I've got a ton) that I was using kind of just like an online diary (yes, i'm one of those chicks who's been writing her in her diary since she was like 10) but they underwent a massive drive failure and now all the data is lost...i've been using that site for like 4 years and it's just so weird to me that all that data is gone, it's like, there's no proof that I existed for the past 4 years almost (they kept saying there would be a download/backup feature, but it never got implemented). All my wedding planning, all that stuff, was in that diary. Very very weird to me, and it makes me super sad to say the least...
...yeah. just...sucks.
3. Sasha Cohen at the skating exhibition last night...holy SH*T that girl is crazy good. She didn't do any jumps but she can contort her body like no one's business.
WHICH leads me to...
4. I dated a jackass who insisted I should learn how to do the splits (yeah, c'mon guys...will it REALLY make a diff if your girl knows the splits? I mean, REALLY?), and I busted my ass for a year each morning stretching like a mofo. Well after seeing Sasha...i'm back on.
I call it, Contortion 2.0....aka....Do The Splits Before Age 30....
Which will clearly be my 3rd new year's resolution for this year.
(Do The Splits Before Age 30 Or Pull A Groin Muscle Trying more like it)....
5. When will someone invent an at-home lipo machine? Just a straw attached to a Dyson or something. If i can do an at-home glycolic peel, if I can do at-home microdermabrasion, I damn well should be able to suck the fat out of my thighs myself as well.
6. I was at the gym till midnight yesterday (well i mean...i only got there at like 10:45). Suck it. Which either means I'm dedicated like crazy or I clearly have no life.

What the BLEEP
I swear to GOD....i might as well have bet on this, because only when I make a bet would I lose this bad:
TURIN, Italy (AFP) - Ice Hockey legend Wayne Gretzky accepted the blame for Canada's shock Olympic Games exit after his country's worst performance in the tournament for 26 years.
Sometimes, I should really just keep my mouth shut.

Blogariffic
Clearly, I have issues:
Alien does JDate
What's more funny:
1. "Synagizzle"
2. A yarmulke that says "WWJD" heh heh
or
3. "Circum Size Me"
One day, I'm going to seriously hurt myself laughing.
So this weekend was pretty busy. A few things to note...
Avengers Game - Sat Night
So apparently Melissa Rivers (Joan Rivers' daughter) has season tix to the Avengers (indoor arena football). Now of course I've seen her a million times on TV, but it's always different when you see a celeb in real life.
First off, the girl is TINY. I mean, UBER tiny. But...when she stands next to celebs, she looks bigger than them. Which basically means that Reese Witherspoon et. al. are all microscopic in real life. The camera adds like FIFTY pounds.
That being said, she's NASTy in real life. I mean, her FACE...thep lastic surgery has her a few away from looking like that catwoman chick. If my mom were Joan Rivers, plastic surgery on my FACE is the last thing I'd do.
Dogwalking
Me.
Daisy.
This time, I actually picked up dog poop. ONCE. That's my limit.
Sunday Morning
Yee haw, got to see some dear ol' friends from San Jose who were in town for the weekend. Got our Mimi's Cafe groove on.
On that note...
Marlene (aka Slovebunny), meet Norm....his roommate is an arrogant bastard that I work with. He thinks he knows STUFF. Now you know.
On that note, i find it hilarious that Marlene calls up her sister reading this blog....you are all much, much dumber for having read it. You've been warned.
General poll
Listen, i have NO problems with guys who do figure skating. It's hard as hell. I know that. But i can also say that no straight guy would voluntarily do it (males SINGLES skating)....it's not a knock against gay guys or figure skaters. But i grew up in a place where guys learn to skate before they learn to walk, and trust me, they're not jumping to be figure skaters.
See, it's not ME who thinks that straight guys aren't figure skaters...ASK A STRAIGHT GUY. No self respecting straight guy would EVER want to be a figure skater. Speed skater, bobsledding, anything....ANYTHING...other than figure skating. I took an informal poll, and I was right.
note: this applies to north american dudes....maybe european ones think differently. I don't know.
Desperate Housewives
I'm so glad Nicole D swung by last night, DH is always more fun when you watch with friends :)
So a note to ABC...enough with Susan being an idiot! Okay last night she wasn't that bad, but lately we've all been hoping that her wandering spleen would kill her off.
I did dig the little story about Gabby and her mom....we don't see much insight onto Gabby's life, so that was a refreshing change. And amazingly Lynette's story wasn't much of anything other than to highlight Bree's drinking. Bree of course has the best storyline right now...
...and finally....
WTF I went to Target to quickly pick up a few small things and walked out having spent $70.00 even. wtf.
Product Reviews
Gillette Fusion Razor: for some reason I keep getting Gillette razors in the mail. Anyway I was excited to give this a whirl...5 mutha effing blades! And i'm a hairy beast! Sounds like a match made in heaven.
In reality, the blades are overkill. They're packed too close together, so it's a pain to rinse out the goo and hair. The handle is great, but the part where it connects to the razor itself is awful...it doesn't fit into your typical "razor holder" thingy in your shower. Plus the cost of the replacement blades is crazy....honestly, I did a test...and it pretty much did the same job as a Mach 3. So save your cash.
Maybelline Unstoppable Mascara: Now I'm pretty old-skool...when I like something, I don't stop using it. But it was one sale, and I figured i should give it a try. On the plus side, this stuff DOES last all day. The rest of Maybelline's mascaras tend to run out, but this stuff was still on even after a full day AND a trip to the gym. The downside...the consistency isn't like typical mascaras (think black icing type), it was more like...a liquidy sludge type of consistency. NOt a big deal, but you gotta take more time to apply it because it's so watery.
Pantene Root Booster: it was on sale at Target, what can I say. Plus my hair's been going pretty flat lately. Anyway I gotta admit, this stuff is GOOD. I blow dried my hair upside down as usual, and when I flipped my hair back up I lookedl ike Cindy Crawford circa 1992. VERY impressed.
So...2 out of 3 products get a Sabina Seal Of Approval. Heidi Ho.....

New Year's Resolution update
So i had two NY's resolutions. Here's the status update...
1. To be more refined and elegant: Ugh not going so good. I think I'm going to buy a Miss Manners book so I can be more proactive on that.
2. To be a better wife.: so part of that was to make dinner at least once a week for Kraig...I know some couples eat together every night but it's hard for us, we have seriously different schedules. Plus lots of times by the time I"m done grocery shopping after work, the last thing I want to do is actually COOK...I mean, I've realized that I'm productive for ONE task after work before I'm zonked. Whether that's pick up dry cleaning, pick up prescriptions, do grocery shopping...that's it. So really cooking is a 2-day task for me, one day to shop and one day to buy. Plus we end up having leftovers that we NEVER eat.
Anyway, I just cooked an early dinner now for him and he was all "Why are you being so nice? It's weirding me out" which clearly shows how much more work I have to do on this resolution!

Oh the humanity.
So I called up Verizon, 'cause this texting situation isn't working. Really the only two people with Verizon that I text are Nicole B and Carrie...everyone else has some other package...and I spent $55 over my limit on texting.
So I upped my texting package from 50 non-Verizon to 500 non-Verizon, even though last month alone I went 650 msgs over....but the chick gave me $10 free (which is the cost of the package), so I figure I might as well use this now and then next month up it to 1000 messages for $15.
On another note, I did a financial snapshot of our situation, and just whipping out the general expenses per month, NOT including the timeshare, Kraig's car, and food/stuff (i.e. credit card stuff), it's around $4K. If you factor in the food/stuff (where stuff=toilet paper, gas, etc), then it's almost $5K. Mother effer.
We keep saying we should do a lottery pool...I'm SO down for that. Like say once a month, ALL of use girls get together...put $4 each in an envelope, pick the numbers, and then once a week one designated person buy X amount of numbers.
Ugh. Gonna take a nap.

I....hate...PEOPLE....
SOOO effing pissed.
I was driving home and some dude passed the car next to me and clipped mine. He scraped a chunk of paint off my side mirror.
Now anyone who's seen my car knows that there's probably more grey than white on it at this point, but it's one thing when it's MY fault...it's another when it's some jackass.
The dude totally sped off, and I honked like a mother effer, finally I was like "f*ck that. I'm gonna get the bastard".
So I sped like a mofo but at one point on the two lane road there were two SUVs driving at the speed of lard, and by the time I finally passed them I barely managed to see where Jackass was going, and I coudn't catch up before I lost him. So now i'm pissed at the Jackass who hit my car and the two f*ckers who decided to drive side by side on Felipe.
All I wanted worst case was the Jackass' license plate. All i wanted BEST case was to catch the dude going into a parking lot so I could rip him a new one.
Anyway, I'm in a bad freakin' mood as a result.
To top it off:
In a game that was supposed to be a warm-up for tougher opponents, Switzerland shocked the Canadian men's hockey team 2-0 at the Torino Olympics Saturday morning.
WHAT THE BLEEP. This is turning out to be the worst day ever.
If they actually showed effing hockey games here instead of...the CURLING matches...I might be able to catch these:
They face Finland Sunday (CBC, 3 p.m., EST) and finish against the Czech Republic Tuesday (CBC, 10:30 a.m., EST).
AND...why is it that on my ONE day off of work it has to pour rain? WHY WHY WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I need a mini violin for my sad song.
My question to you Sabina is based on what you've seen of Canadian men and American men, who dresses better (Kraig doesn't count)?
Well...it's a tough call. Really we have to narrow it down between
Ottawa+surrounding areas
San Jose + Bay Area
Orange County
Orange County dudes definitely dress the best, but really there's not much choice. EVERYTHING here is soooo all about appearances, the haves and the have nots (okay...the "haves and have not"...since i'm the only "have not" here clearly).
Next is Ottawa, however that's brutal because you have to give some slack to people who have to deal with extreme elements (crazy snow and crazy rain)...I mean, after awhile you can't keep caring about how you look when it's effing freezing outside, you're a walking static machine, and salt has chewed away at your leather boots.
Last are the folks in northern cali...and you'd like to think that San Francisco being the uber gay community and all that MAYBE guys would dress better, but since I didn't live in SF, and San Jose and SF are SOOOOO worlds apart, I can't factor in the folks who live there. But the Bay Area...oh my GOD. Men can't dress worth ((bleep)). It's all about the free tshirt, it's all about what you can wash in one big load (what? Separate whites from darks? Dry cleaners? IRONING? )...
I don't think I would have noticed how bad it was if I hadn't moved directly from northern cali to southern california...but it's like an entirely different country here.
On an unrelated note, I kinda do miss the Bay Area....almost everyone's a transplant and most people your age are all that same point in life, not like here where you're loaded if you were smart enough to buy a house 3 years ago...I don't know. Sometimes I think nothing is more fabulous than living in Southern California, other times I'm already mentally preparing to move again (or the argument to Kraig to move to Canada....)...
This was a useless post, I realize that. I'm just in a bad frickin' mood over the car thing, plus using my "need to use up" vacation day on a day where it poured rain.

The Guide - American Style (Esquire some more)
More from Esquire....What Women Want Their Men To Wear as per their survery in Marie Claire, O, and Harper's Bazaar.
(not going to type the whole thing, just snippets)
1. I prefer a man's legs in:
b) Levi's (80%)
I dunno, Chinos was an option and sometimes a dude can look pretty sharp in a pair of chinos. But yeah when in doubt...jeans jeans jeans.
2. The most flattering color a man can wear is:
a) Blue (41.9%)
well geezus pink was 12.9%...wtf is wrong with women out there?!! At least 35.5% wrote "whatever matches his eyes", which I'll agree with.
3. The sexiest thing a man can wear is:
b) Rugged jeans and a plain white tshirt (67.7%)
Yeah that's good in theory...but like a tux got 22.6%, and for me personally i think tuxes look HOT as hell on guys, only because it is so, so very rare that you see them in it. THe only time I"ll ever see Kraig in one is if I look at our wedding pics, and I thought he looked FANTASTIC in a tux. I wouldn't want to see it every day...but...when it happens, it makes WAY more of an impact than jeans a tshirt. AND...don't be dissing the boxer-briefs (6.5%), some of us are suckers for those Calvins too.
4. I like it when he smells like
a) Nothing (58.1%)
Yeah...kinda...once again...it depends. We all know there's some scents...where if a stranger at the mall has it on, it reminds us of a certain boy from our past, and we drool....Aqua di Gio always makes my heart skip a beat, as does Chanel Egoiste, even though I don't think I really liked either on the boy in question.
5. If i could change one thing abuot my man's style, it would be:
d) I'd give away his double-pleasted pants and buy him flat fronts (35.5%)
Good LORD i wouldn't let those pants through the front door. No wait, Kraig might have a few old pairs in the back of the closet. Dammit. Gonna have to look into this tonight.
6. When I see a guy in sandals, I think:
a) A simple flip-flop will do 61.3%
ummm i'm with option b, which was "he's coming nowhere NEAR my uterus"....i mean, sports sandals are okay if necessary (like the beach or we're traveling somewhere HOT)...otherwise...um yeah no. Heck, i think flip flops are worse than sport sandals.
7. My favorite thing to borrow from my man is:
a) His worn-out button-down shirt.
Um yeah Kraig's got like all of 4 button down shirts, and they're all new. So that's not happening. None of the options listed would work for me...the only thing I like to borrow is the FCUK jacket we bought in san francisco a few years ago (but not something i would wear normally, it's huge on me).
8. The most common male fashion crime I witness on a regular basis is:
b) pants that are too short 32.3%
OMG are you kidding me? I work in TECH! We should have an in-house prison for the crimes of fashion here. What's not on the list: nasty freebie computer tshirts. In the Bay area someone once told me it was only tacky to wear your OWN company's shirt, and from a geek perspective I'll give that as the bare bones minimum. BUT...we all know you got those shirts for free...they're only good for cleaning the car or cleaning the toilet (and i don't mean WEARING them for those chores....)
9. A man who dresses better than me:
d) is generally not interested in dating my gender 51.6%
I agree 100%. Think CLUELESS (Cher)...."I suppose. He does dress better than I do. What would I bring to the relationship?". A dude's gotta be a LITTLE sloppy sometimes, to keep up his testosterone levels.
10. My man looks best in:
a) Sneakers 35.5%
I dunno, Kraig's got these spiffy brown oxford Sketchers that I totally dig. Sneakers make me think of little boys.
11. I like it best when he comes to bed wearing:
b) Just boxers 67.7%
You know, i would PREFER it if he wore PJs ('cause then he'd be warmer, and i'd then be warmer)....but no self-respecting man would do that. I'll accept PJ bottoms for dudes who live in sub zero climate. Think twice about being with a dude who wears full-on PJs to bed.
12. I like his jeans to fit
b) LIke Brad Pitt's in thelma and louise 83.9%
Ummmm i'm a disgrace to my gender...but I never saw the whole movie. But either way, I like straight leg but kinda baggy-ish but not TOO baggy.
13. The acceptable dollar amount for a man to spend on a haircut is:
b) $50 41.9%
You know, this is a tough call. I dated a dude who had massively curly hair, and he used to go to this cheap barber across the street 'cause he was the only one who could cut it right. And guys' hair grows so fast, it makes no diff really. $50 seems kind of high if you're just going to say "#2 on top, #3 on the sides"...but $15 seems way to cheap....more like $25-$30 i would think? But that wasn't an option...
14. My favorite kind of suit on a man is a:
b) 3 button (51.6%)
I agree 100%!!!
15. My fav type of men's shirt is:
c) A plain white tshirt 42%
egads i can't believe some people voted "a taut, ribbed tank top that shows off his guns"...how white trash ARE Marie Claire readers?! Compared to the other options, yeah this is the best one...the other choices were a little...girly....
16. My favorite pattern for a men's tie is:
c) plain, with texture 71%
Yeah..but the "collegiate stripe" isn't THAT bad...not ideal, but you gotta make sure the plain color looks sharp...and with a single color, it CAN look off.
17. My favorite man in uniform is:
c) Fireman 51.6%
OH heck no...i'll take the Naval Officer or Policeman any day...and by policeman i mean the old skool type, not the CHP Chips style....no wait forget that, Naval Officer all the way.
18. If my man asked me to pick one style icon for him to emulate, I would pick:
b) George Clooney
Well Tom Wolfe as an option is a bit of a dandy....Johnny is too all over the map...and he's not hip enough to pull off Kanye West (all the layers)...yeah I'll take George, which pretty much are just suits...
19. An averge man becomes instantly bed-worthy when:
d) He jsut doesn't give a damn 32.3%
YES YES YES YES YES EYS YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESYES YES YES YES YES EYS YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESYES YES YES YES YES EYS YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESYES YES YES YES YES EYS YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESYES YES YES YES YES EYS YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESYES YES YES YES YES EYS YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESYES YES YES YES YES EYS YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESYES YES YES YES YES EYS YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESYES YES YES YES YES EYS YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESYES YES YES YES YES EYS YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESYES YES YES YES YES EYS YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESYES YES YES YES YES EYS YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESYES YES YES YES YES EYS YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESYES YES YES YES YES EYS YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESYES YES YES YES YES EYS YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES...
ALthough only 6.5% said "he displays finely manicured hands", and I am the BIGGEST sucker for nice hands (along with great shoulders and the back of a neck"...I'm telling you, a certain friend of mine (Bryan, think of yer boy who works at HD) acts like he doesn't give a f*ck, like he has the biggest man-meat in the room, and i don't think he even knows he does this...and yet, i swear, it's effing HOT as hell.
20. A man should dress for:
d) HImself 61.3%
yeah that's good in theory. what is WRONG with women who answer polls?! If you leave a guy to his own, if women made NO diference...they'd all be wearing their free computer tshirts and track pants. PLEASE..."Me" with 35.5% is the right option....think about it. If it were up to me, I'd wear my Lion King boxer shorts and a soft cheap tshirt every day....if the entire world were BLIND we wouldn't dress for looks half as much as we do now....A man should never ever be left to dress for himself! Oh the humanity.
AND...before any guy says he's got great taste in style...please. If chicks didn't exist...y'all would be lucky if you ever did your laundry.
(not going to type the whole thing, just snippets)
1. I prefer a man's legs in:
b) Levi's (80%)
I dunno, Chinos was an option and sometimes a dude can look pretty sharp in a pair of chinos. But yeah when in doubt...jeans jeans jeans.
2. The most flattering color a man can wear is:
a) Blue (41.9%)
well geezus pink was 12.9%...wtf is wrong with women out there?!! At least 35.5% wrote "whatever matches his eyes", which I'll agree with.
3. The sexiest thing a man can wear is:
b) Rugged jeans and a plain white tshirt (67.7%)
Yeah that's good in theory...but like a tux got 22.6%, and for me personally i think tuxes look HOT as hell on guys, only because it is so, so very rare that you see them in it. THe only time I"ll ever see Kraig in one is if I look at our wedding pics, and I thought he looked FANTASTIC in a tux. I wouldn't want to see it every day...but...when it happens, it makes WAY more of an impact than jeans a tshirt. AND...don't be dissing the boxer-briefs (6.5%), some of us are suckers for those Calvins too.
4. I like it when he smells like
a) Nothing (58.1%)
Yeah...kinda...once again...it depends. We all know there's some scents...where if a stranger at the mall has it on, it reminds us of a certain boy from our past, and we drool....Aqua di Gio always makes my heart skip a beat, as does Chanel Egoiste, even though I don't think I really liked either on the boy in question.
5. If i could change one thing abuot my man's style, it would be:
d) I'd give away his double-pleasted pants and buy him flat fronts (35.5%)
Good LORD i wouldn't let those pants through the front door. No wait, Kraig might have a few old pairs in the back of the closet. Dammit. Gonna have to look into this tonight.
6. When I see a guy in sandals, I think:
a) A simple flip-flop will do 61.3%
ummm i'm with option b, which was "he's coming nowhere NEAR my uterus"....i mean, sports sandals are okay if necessary (like the beach or we're traveling somewhere HOT)...otherwise...um yeah no. Heck, i think flip flops are worse than sport sandals.
7. My favorite thing to borrow from my man is:
a) His worn-out button-down shirt.
Um yeah Kraig's got like all of 4 button down shirts, and they're all new. So that's not happening. None of the options listed would work for me...the only thing I like to borrow is the FCUK jacket we bought in san francisco a few years ago (but not something i would wear normally, it's huge on me).
8. The most common male fashion crime I witness on a regular basis is:
b) pants that are too short 32.3%
OMG are you kidding me? I work in TECH! We should have an in-house prison for the crimes of fashion here. What's not on the list: nasty freebie computer tshirts. In the Bay area someone once told me it was only tacky to wear your OWN company's shirt, and from a geek perspective I'll give that as the bare bones minimum. BUT...we all know you got those shirts for free...they're only good for cleaning the car or cleaning the toilet (and i don't mean WEARING them for those chores....)
9. A man who dresses better than me:
d) is generally not interested in dating my gender 51.6%

Quickie blog
OMG how fantastic is Badgley Mischka:
New Ads
Inspired by The Shining?
They did a wedding gown that I would have given Kraig's left nut for back when I was engaged...um yeah like I'd ever in my life be able to afford it. But it was GORGEOUS.
I'd die for Ashley's dress...
Working in a male-dominated field...you really wanna bust out and be girly girl sometimes, but when I do I feel like i'm playing dress up or like I'm some little girl in the sea of...ugly nerds.

The Laws of American Style by ESQUIRE
A few tidbits from Esquire...
The Laws of American Style
Of course...these rules apply to men...these are some of the ones I found interesting...
- Livestock are the only American staple that should show any visible branding.
SOOO true!
- The ideal age at which a well-informed sense of style finally agrees with the level of the American man's disposable income: 35. Pre-35, you have no money. Post-35, you hae kids. And no money.
- The short-sleeved shirt has no place at the office. Unless you wear a name tag, in which case you have choice in the matter.
- Things from your closet that do not go together: jeans and cufflinks, socks and sandals, matching tie and pocket square, boots and suit pants, dress jackets and shorts
I HATE the look of socks and sandals! Why do guys do this?!
- Things the American man should not wear after the age of 35: sports jerseys, tracksuits, double breasted suits, polo shirts with the colar up. Things he should not wear before 35: rimless eyeglasses, cardigans, double-breasted suits, plo shirts with the top button fastened.
Um when are cardigans on non-Fratboy types ever okay?!
- Navy is th most flexible suit color you can buy.
- Just as every american man worth his salt should know how to fix a flat, so too should he be adept at sewing a button, steaming a suit, and operating a washing machine. A man who can hand-wash his cashmere sweater? He's more man than we're willing to admit.
That's a tough call with the cashmere...you can't take it to the dry cleaners...but I don'tk now if I like the idea of a guy knowing the proper way to clean that. Unless a girl taught him how.
- Places where sunglasses should never make an appearance: church, the courtroom, the DMV, the top of your head.
I can't stand it with guys put sunglasses on the top of their head. It's a little too chick-ish.
- Furthermore you should take your shades off when speaking to someone who's not wearing any. It's a trust issue.
You know, this is SO true. And i'm sure I've been guilty of this, but i really do hate talking to people with sunglasses when I don't have any on...it's like, they're too cool to let me see their eyes when they can see mine.
- A man should replace his wallet every 365 days. All that cash and credit card stretch out the leather. Your wallet is leather, isn't it?
Now you know!

Why do i bother arguing with people in my own blog? This is MY blog and i can cry if i want to, cryyy if I want to...
So my original point that got deleted was...
Why the EFF is 90210 not out on DVD yet but frickin' Charles in Charge is?!! Who the HELL would buy that?
I own Sex and the City on DVD...
I'd like to own all of The Simpsons....
We have Family Guy for Kraig (I don't like it enough to BUY it)...
If I could have 90210, OMG, we'd need another DVD holder. Okay well we need one anyway, but for sure we'd have to buy one.
If the people disputing the ownership rights could get their heads out of their asses, that would be fabulous. Or at least, if Dish Network can make F/X part of their cheapie package so I can see the reruns on weekends. And so that I can finally watch Nip/Tuck again.
On another note...
Why wasn't Tom Leykis around when I was going through my single girl phase? Why don't they have him in Canada?! It drives Kraig crazy that I listen to him, but the stuff he says is so, so true.
Only ONCE have I ever really disputed something he said, and I tried like mad all week to call in and give him a piece of my mind. He insisted that women dye their hair because they have low self esteem.
I mean, I already have low self esteem, but trust me...dying my hair has NOTHING to do with it. To women, our hair is another accessory...I replace my shoes, I change my nailcolor, I've changed my eye color...my hair is just another accessory. I don't wear the same jewelry every day, why should I be stuck with the same hair color? And to top it off, that's like saying that anything you can do to enhance your looks is a result of low self esteem.
I like my natural hair color, but since moving to California it gets really light really fast, and I don't think it looks good against my skin tone...so I'm just bringing it back closer to the color I had when I was a kid. It's not a self esteem issue.
Other than that, I think the dude is pretty accurate with what he was saying. The other day he had on two guys who wrote some book about the myth of the stay at home mom...
Now I'm not a stay-at-home-mom....and the chicks these guys were describing were pretty well off, and anyone I know who IS a stay-at-home-mom certainly is not well off (and as such, they don't have nannies, pools, or expensive strollers/devices to make life easier). That being said, I would MUCH rather spend my days with my children than be at work if I could (I mean, at least I'm making a difference with my kids...the satisfaction level is a little different when it comes to work...this doesn't apply to all women/careers, i realize that...but I know that a huge portion of my girlfriends agree with me)....
I was SCREAMING at the radio, "I don't care whether it's a cushy job or not for these chicks to not work! I don't care if the kids are grown up and maintaining a house all day isn't hard! Don't let the cat out of the bag! Don't corrupt the minds of the few guys who can support a one income household! NO NO NO!!!"....
I'm telling you, my dream in life is to be a Mission Viejo Mom....now if only I could get that lotto ticket that'll help support that lifestyle...and the uber fancy stroller that converts to a laptop computer...
Sigh.
In other boring news (because I'm the most boring person I know), instead of drinking tons of Tazo Tea today I've drank like 7 Diet Pepsis and I feel like ass...you could pierce my stomach and cola syrup would spill out.
The song of the day is White Wedding by Billy Idol...'cause it's in my head wtf. I think it's 'cause Wedding Singer was on tv this week.
Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister who's the only one
Hey little sister who's your superman

Oh the humanity
I had a frickin' blog posted but then my computer timed out and the whole thing got lost. Dammit.
A few quick comments:
For my money I would choose Marilyn Monroe over just about any woman out there.
Yeah I think everyone would agree on that, however I'm sure women back then thought Marilyn was a nasty whore for all we know...I think she was like the Pam Anderson of her time. Personally, i LOVE Pammy...but a good chunk of women think she's nasty as hell. Gasp, SKANKY even.
How you guys define skanky is different than what we do.
Now about your bashing of Nadine Velazquez and Jamie Pressly, and your praise of Lauren Bush was a bit tooo much. I’ve seen my fair share of pictures of all three women, and I know that you’re not gonna like what I have to say. Nadine and Jamie have an appealing look to them. I would not say stunning, but it is still quite exotic and they are rather shapely too. Lauren has plane vanilla look that just does not make her look attractive. She almost reminds me of the tomboy next door.
Let it be known, I like Jaime Pressly (gasp and I would have thought you would have spelled her name right), but without makeup...she can look skanky. And Nadine...okay shapely body, nasty face (i expect my television hotties to be...HOT...and she's not)...she's a step away from butterface in my mind. I mean, for a REAL girl she's hot. But keeping in mind the standards by which I hold actresses...um yeah no. Both chicks are blah.
I don't think Lauren Bush blows anyone away, I just keep using her because the girl looked so much like her...definitely very pretty (the model, not the girl I saw at lunch...neither of them were that great). I mean, every girl would have died for my pick's skin....it was FLAWLESS. Her hair was great too...not unwashed shoved back in some ratty ponytail.
Really, in a perfect world, us chicks would be lesbians...it really sucks that we need you guys for reproductive purposes. And to open jars for us.
The moral of the story: next time, I need a chick with me or I'll poll the girls as well...problem is, it's ALOT easier for me to go up to a random guy and get his opinion on a chick than to go up to a girl and do that...without possibly offending the chick in the process

I don't think Lauren Bush blows anyone away, I just keep using her because the girl looked so much like her...definitely very pretty (the model, not the girl I saw at lunch...neither of them were that great). I mean, every girl would have died for my pick's skin....it was FLAWLESS. Her hair was great too...not unwashed shoved back in some ratty ponytail.
Really, in a perfect world, us chicks would be lesbians...it really sucks that we need you guys for reproductive purposes. And to open jars for us.
The moral of the story: next time, I need a chick with me or I'll poll the girls as well...problem is, it's ALOT easier for me to go up to a random guy and get his opinion on a chick than to go up to a girl and do that...without possibly offending the chick in the process
Ohhhh sayyyyy can you SEEEEEEE...wait wrong country
Jarome Iginla scored two power-play goals to lead Canada to a 7-2 win over Italy as the team opened defence of its Olympic gold medal.
I actually wanted to wake up at 4am in order to watch this...uh yeah that wasn't gonna happen.
So a few months ago one of my coworker's wanted to buy something from Tiffany's for his fiance, thank GOD he asked my opinion because I'll be honest with you...I don't know too many chicks that would have liked his option (I mean, it was pretty...but you could tell bylooking at it that there's not too many necklines that would have allowed for that type of charm on the chain)...in the end, I suggested going with the old standby that most chicks have, the heart one, in the SMALLEST size available.
When it comes to Tiffany's, girls are okay getting what everyone else has. It's TIFFANYS.
Anyway so i guess back in November I told the story to Kraig and I guess I mentioned that I liked a particular one (I had suggested it to my coworker but he didn't like it...but I liked it better than any of them)....it seems that Kraig actually remembered the name of the one that I said i liked...heck, I don't even remember even saying the name or what it was called...
Well needless to say, I got my Eternal Circle necklace last night...I was pretty shocked to say the least...and in true Sabina style, I yelled a little 'cause of his job situation (fortunately since I knew the price, I knew it wasn't THAT bad so don't worry, I didn't yell for long!).
Yeah, I've got a wonderful husband. What can I say. Suck it.
Marlene: YES YES YES breakfast on Sunday sounds fabulous!!!!

Will you be my Valenblog?
Happy Valentine's Day
I
LOVE
Valentine's Day.
Too much chocolate around work though, that's for sure. If i were to eat everything offered at my job, you'd have to harpoon me.
So cheers to all the wonderful things about love, and guys....becuase we know this holiday is created for us chicks...some credit has to go to guys for actually letting us HAVE this day without argument.
What we love about guys...
1. The way they look when they come out of the shower. With their hair all slicked back from the water.
2. How great kissing them feels when they actually shave.
3. How their arms feel wrapped around us....this is why I couldn't ever be a frickin' lesbian. I need STRONG arms wrapped around me.
4. How they have veins on their arms....okay i'm probably one of the few chicks that digs that.
5. How they look when they drive.
6. How they do little things to actually act somewhat like gentlemen in this day and age...whether it's moving us around so that they're walking on the side closest to the road, or opening doors....
7. HOw they have no problems opening up jars and bottles for us.
8. The way they look when they're using power tools. (Okay once again, maybe that's just me. It's a woodcutter thing).
9. Seven ate nine. Again. wtf. It must have been hungry.
10. The way they cave into valentine's day, even though we all know that they'd rather stab themselves in the eye than buy flowers and chocolate.
The uber song of the day is the ULTIMATE love song ever: Can't Help Falling In Love by Elvis
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can’t help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can’t help falling in love with you
That is the BEST love song EVER.
In other news...tomorrow...4am Cali time...Canada vs. Italy in hockey....let's see if ESPN actually shows it here....

Yo Chino guy...
Norm: in this day and age of camera phones, ask yer buddy why he has an old skool phone that can't view pictures, let alone take them!
Girl2 was WAYYY prettier, had better clothes, wasn't borderline skanky. The other chick was...blah...
Blah with a Flat Stomach and Tight Jeans.
That's IT.
And her hair was all gross and shoved in a nasty ponytail.
Clearly guys think Skanky is attractive. I mean, put it this way...most women would agree that Grace Kelly was a classic beauty, very stunning. How many guys would agree to that...
Take for example the maid from My Name is Earl. She's been in Maxim, Stuff, etc...yet honestly, by Hollywood standards, I don't think she's remotely pretty. I mean, maybe in real life...but I have a higher standard for the chicks I see on TV (especially those that are "unknowns"...i don't think Jaime Pressly is super pretty or anything, but she plays the part so well and she's somewhat famous)...but I think she's got that "I have the potential to be skanky" look about her.
Heck one scene she did a mini-pole dance with a pool cue...um it was SO not attractive, and yet they had Earl drop his jaw....wtf. Is that all it takes? Be a pseudo-skanky chick who can move up and down a pool cue? Pfft any chick can do that. How's that hot?!!!!

Cheerleaders are dancers who have gone retarded
A few things first...
Mother effer, Blogger.com is almost always down these days. Pain in my ass.
Desperate Housewives
Okay the plots these days are getting hokey, but I'm SOOO digging what's going on with Caleb...he's a nice little pervert-slash-deranged-psycho. I love it. Plus we all know Gabby's maid is going to somehow betray her trust. Fantastic.
Celebrity Fit Club
Blah. This season is so boring. And enough already with that Hanson kid. Okay he's not from Hanson. But whatever. He was upset about his hair being cut...yeah my ass the military would have accepted his Boot Camp haircut. Next week will be good, when that dude from Grease comes back and attempts to tell everyone that the Benadryl really WAS the cause for him to fall asleep while in a rowing competition.
Flavor of Love
Now this just can't get any better. What we've all been waiting for...Brigitte Nielson! Gita! It was fabulous. Hottie is a psycho, Smiley was a stripper...and in the end, Goldie is the one we're all rooting for.
So just a piece of advice to all guys out there...
1. Don't EVER try to pick up a girl by saying "What's your name?" as a pickup line. There's a THOUSAND things you can say, that is the most useless one out there. Do you want my housekeys too? Trust me...anything and everything cheesy is better than just flat out asking my name...because the minute you ask my name and I respond, I'm automatically sucked into a conversation with you and who knows if you're even remotely interesting to talk to.
Don't get me wrong, I'm married, I'm not looking to be picked up. But after a brief incident this weekend I was reminded of WHY that pickup line doesn't work. Chat it up for a bit and THEN let me say "My name's so and so" so that you can then give yours. If i don't think I have an "out", then I'm not going to bother going "in" in the first place.
2. If you hit on a chick and it turns out she's got a wedding ring on, do NOT automatically give the look of distaste. One jackass did that on Saturday, he started chatting it up (i.e. he asked my name, i replied "i'm looking for coat check") and then when he saw the ring he said "UGH! You've got a ring on!"...
THAT then suddenly piqued my interest, because it was like he found out I had a contagious disease. First off, he's in idiot..he shouldn't have insulted me. He could have been a gentleman, and I would have maybe introduced him to my friends. HELLO that's what us married chicks do...if we see a cute guy, we'll make sure our friends get him. Otherwise, you haven't even gotten past the bouncer.
Anyway so I was like "wtf i thought guys LIKED chicks with rings, because that means no committment" and he goes "well...assuming she's into that type of thing..." giving me a questioning look....
Uh, no. I told him I had to find coatcheck and walked off. Point is, don't be retarded. Sometimes us chicks are cockblockers...other times, we're like a VIP pass to our girlfriends. Don't piss us married chicks off. We're not there to compete for guys with our friends, we're not going to get all jealous if one of our girlfriends gets all the attention...we're there to live vicariously through our girlfriends, so if you're awesome to me then I'll certainly make sure you get in good with my friends.
On to other topics...
So on Saturday night we went out for dinner/dancing in Corona Del Mar, which really turned into Dinner (that Stefanie decided to treat us to...WAYYYY too kind of her, so sweet!) slash People Watching...
Unless you were a supermodel, you weren't getting into this place. Okay supermodel plus one crazy drunk old lady with big ears. But otherwise...I can't begin to explain how gorgeous these people were. It was like being on the set of a tv show or something. Then MEN were beautiful even. Everyone had a nickname..."Lost guy"..."Hollister"...and of course, my guy: "Baby Gweedo" (guido, whatever sp)....i just wanted to pinch his cheeks!
After Saturday night, my self esteem is definitely down to the floor. I lack blond hair, blue eyes, great legs, a great body, and a great wardrobe....today I'm wearing just a crappy black tshirt and old grey slacks 'cause i feel like a blob. CLEARLY i need to be drinking the water in Corona Del Mar, or at least, the neighboring cities. The best part though of Saturday was watching all the people who DIDN'T get in...hey, we got in...we had every right to be catty!
So since it's the day before Valentine's Day...the song of the day is Groovy Kind of Love...i think it's been a song of the day before, but it's a classic 80's ballad that deserves credit!
When I’m feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then I’m not so blue
When I’m in your arms, nothing seems to matter
My whole world could shatter, I don’t care
Tomorrow's song is gonna be a good one, in honor of Vday and all.

Olympic Blog
Marlene I got your call...glad to have made you laugh via the blog today :)
Mother effer it's a pain to get any info from a non-US perspective on the olympics.
First off, I'm SO annoyed with the Roots apparel infiltration into the US. Because it's really just to say "Roots US" (heck, they even have stuff at Target) AND they sponsered the US team. WTF. That's like...Ford...sponsoring a German team. It's just WRONG. Roots is so uber Canadian, it's crazy.
You have your Apple Pie and Ford.
Let us have our Poutine and Roots.
On another note, here's the Canadian hockey schedule (more for my sake than anyone else's I'm sure...odds are remote I'll see this stuff on TV since I don't have the premium sports packages):
Men's Prelim. Round - Group A: ITA - CAN 07:00 15 Feb
Men's Prelim. Round - Group A: CAN - GER 14:00 16 Feb
Men's Prelim. Round - Group A: CAN - SUI 09:30 18 Feb
Men's Prelim. Round - Group A: FIN - CAN 15:00 19 Feb
Men's Prelim. Round - Group A: CAN - CZE 10:30 21 Feb
Although I would be interested in seeing the US against Russia:
Men's Prelim. Round - Group B: USA - RUS 14:30 21 Feb
And finally:
Men's Play-offs Quarterfinals 10:30 22 Feb
Men's Play-offs Quarterfinals 11:30 22 Feb
Men's Play-offs Quarterfinals 14:30 22 Feb
Men's Play-offs Quarterfinals 15:30 22 Feb
Men's Play-offs Semifinals 10:30 24 Feb
Men's Play-offs Semifinals 15:00 24 Feb
Men's Play-offs - Bronze Medal Game 14:30 25 Feb
Men's Play-offs - Gold Medal Game 08:00 26 Feb
In honor of countdown to Valentine's Day (speaking of...aww aren't I a good wife, I made Kraig dinner twice this week AND made him lunch, which i would have done more often had I actually been home at night), the song of the day is All My Life by K-CI & JoJo (yeah...i know...to those who are reading this who I've known for years...that's Stacey and that golfer's song...but whatever. It's really sweet)
I will never find another lover sweeter than you, sweeter than you
I will never find another lover more precious than you, more precious than you
....
You're all that I've ever known, your smile on your face, all I see is a glow,
You turned my life around, You picked me up when I was down,
You're all that I've ever known, when you smile your face glows,
You picked me up when I was down
You're all that I've ever known, when you smile your face glows,
You picked me up when I was down & I hope that you feel the same way too,
Yes I pray that you do love me too
Nap time.
