still working on the Vegas blog...
but i just want to say...
HA HA and HA i was right...oh noooooo of course governments don't lie about war stuff for whatever internal reasons, oh no everything we find out is always the truth:
Vietnam War
Yeah of course the numbers we see are the true numbers, they're not over/underinflated at times of war...
what
the
f*ck
I swear sometimes living in this country makes me want to put a bullet to my head, 'cause some people have zero openmindedness (not a word, i know, bite me)... FYI people...every country is going to over and underflate all the facts, no one knows the ACTUAL truth because everything will always be skewed to serve whatever interest. I don't CARE whether people say how much research was done...governments cover stuff up.
Anyway it doesn't matter, because i know the people who read this blog aren't the ones in question, but I just get super frustrated and I'm sick of sometimes feeling like i need to have a redneck hillbilly mentality in order to survive here.

Whitney Houston is in my head....
Ugh when I was getting ready Sat night at the hotel the only thing on TV was American Psycho, and there's the scene where he's discussing the merits of Whitney Houston's work...and one song was playing and UGH UGH I haven't been able to get it out of my head ever since. Mother effer.
I was all psyched to unpack, do boatloads of laundry/ironing, and then right after I just popped a load in the wash Marmalade jumped on the bed and proceeded to pee on my comforter cover, my fuzzy blue blanket, the fitted sheet, the flat sheet, and the mattress protector. Which normally isn't AS much the end of the world when I can shove that crap in the wash, but I had JUST put in a load already.
So now i'm all "pff, whatever" about unpacking and caring about being ahead so as usual I'm backlogged on all the crazy cleaning and laundry and lord knows what else needs to be done to function as a grownup.
Will write about Vegas tomorrow...all I know is that I left Kraig for a few moments after I got my lap dance (after all that boob in my face, I felt like I needed to see some naked men...and...dang...those boys EARN their keep! And hands down, the dude with the knee pads pretty much had every chick in the place breathing a little too heavy....even for a strip club!) and I came back down, he was plastered, everyone had bought each other lap dances, and somehow my wallet has ALOT less cash than was in there before.
I probably wouldn't be so tired if I didn't stay up ALL night with Kraig who was puking nonstop...It got to the point where I was terrified that he had DIED on me, and then I'd hear him heaving and I'd think "oh thank God, he's still puking, he's still alive...."...along with "if that mother effer dies before we finalize on the legal paperwork, i'll kill him"....

Respect my authoritayy!
Definitely have alot to get to today, since I'll be out of town for a few days and i've got serious random thoughts and gripes to get off my chest.
First off, the explanation for one of my Exes suddenly emailing me:
Now I got the real scoop! Greg was going on and on about how hot you looked at the wedding and that's how Adam freaked!! Classic! Well, he was right, you did look amazing!!
I love my friend Natalie...I spend 99.99999% of my day feeling like garbage, and a little email like that makes me feel a weeeeeee tiny bit better.
The look of regret continues...
In other news, when I grow up I want to be a rich teenager on Laguna Beach. This week's episode: The Graduation Ceremony. I was almost bawling because I miss high school so much...I was a total nerd/whatever, all about the grades, but it was the best time of my life. Heck, i went to like 6 proms in 2 years 'cause not only could I not believe my own highschool experience was over, I felt the need to be a part of everyone else's experiences as well lol.
What I can say is that my parents SOOOOO did not make a big deal about graduation like the teens on that show...
First off, because not graduating university wasn't an option, so not graduating high school was a no-brainer. My family's not going to congratulate me for passing something that I should be doing anyway...the family perspective is that it's like say brushing your teeth daily...you SHOULD be doing it and you don't deserve any special recognition for doing what you should be doing anyway.
My mom and brother went to my high school graduation (well, one of two...the second one was for OAC, aka grade 13, aka pre-university year which was just a reason to get dressed up and hang out with friends later)...my mom only went because my brother dragged her, and he only went because he bought this fancy new camcorder and Snappy software and wanted an excuse to use them.
Here's my "blog" page for that graduation day from back in the day, however I didn't write the text...when I got lazy and didn't update hte site (it's missing a TON of pages, i guess my brother removed the content years later) my brother would write for me...so he wrote the content which is why it sounds retarded.
Perusing my old diary, here's my top 10 for 1996 (I deleted my brother's stupid comments, wtf):
10. The Simpsons
9. Chandler from Friends
8. Club Monaco
7. GAP
6. LipSmackers
5. Pocahontas (out on video Feb 28)
4. SATIN T-Shirts
3. Quentin Tarantino
2. Payday
1. Poutine.
Ha number 3 is because Desperado came out that year and I soooooo love that movie...and i do still love payday, Club Monaco, Simpsons, Lip Smackers, Pocahontas (hello story of my life...wanting a different path than that set up by my father...and not wanting to marry who he picked out for me) and poutine...and i do still love sarcastic witty men...so basically in the past 9 years the only thing that's changed is that i don't care for the Gap anymore (well although my jean jacket yesterday was from there...whatever).
What's the moral of the story?
When you think you've changed completely as a person, your tastes, your interests..turns out...you're still an unevolved chimp.
The song of the day is Independent Woman by Destiny's Child
The shoes on my feet
I bought it
The clothes I'm wearing
I bought it
The rock I'm rockin'
I bought it
'Cause I depend on me
If I wanted the watch you're wearin'
I'll buy it
The house I live in
I bought it
The car I'm driving
I bought it
I depend on me (I depend on me)
In honor of Nicole D and her fabulous merit increase...she's everyone's hero....
On a side note to anyone who hates that song...yeah the song sucks but you knwo what...i DID buy everythingo n that list without a guy (except for the watch, which was an xmas gift from Kraig)....
Alright gotta start planning for Vegas....

Yeah there's typos, suck it
So some serious business to get to today...
First off, Stefanie: see, this helps prove your theory! (I hate stealing from other people's websites, but suck it...it's from intellectualwhores.com):
Men's Ladder
and women's ladders:
So yes....every chick is effable in every guy's eyes...
Next up....Congrats to our winner Carrie, who identified the Song of the Day when we were out drinking yesterday and yes, it's a flippin' depressing song. I love Lifehouse.
Speaking of, today's song of the day is Candy Shop by 50 Cent
I take you to the candy shop
I'll let you lick the lollypop
Go 'head girl,
don't you stop
Keep goin 'til you hit the spot
Booyah.
It looks like Sat night we're going to a strip club in Vegas....I've never been to a strip club with Kraig, we'll see how that goes...only 'cause I love Tony and Rena will I take away from my valuable roulette time this weekend....From Tony's mass email answering my answers to Rena's questions:
1. I will break you.
2. Casino..I guess
3. Kraig loves wang and we all know it (the guys are upstairs in a different area)
4. I will kill you.
5. You will be broken.
I bought the Vanilla Creams Lipsmackers kit...there's like 8 chapsticks all with hints of vanilla and other stuff...I don't know why I buy crap like that when I only end up liking 2 of the flavors. Lipsmackers rocks my world. If i ever were a celebrity, these are the following products/chains that I would endorse for no money but the promise of a lifetime supply:
1. Bonne Bell Lipsmackers...i'm probably the oldest person who still uses that stuff.
2. KFC...but Canadian KFC, so that I can get endless amounts of KFC poutine. (And yes Nicole, I know PETA is against KFC, but if it takes being mean to a chicken so i can get that gravy over my poutine, well...that's just the circle of life....)
3. Target....anything Target....i should walk around with a white tshirt and red bullseyes on them for the sake of it.
4. Littermaid. Okay so that would be more my cat than me endorsing it, and I woudln't need a "lifetime supply" but i could donate them to the Humane Society or something. 'Cause i kid you not, i LOVE my Littermaid. If they didn't look so damn ugly I'd put one in both bathrooms.
5. Tazo....Tazo Passion Tea is the BEST STUFF EVER. Yesterday I spilled half my mug all over me (and it's one of those tall mugs) but fortunately I was wearing a purple skirt so the purple tea just blended right in and I smelled like Passion-ey goodness all night.
6. Pepsi....one day I'd like to show that it's possible to have more diet pepsi flowing through your body than blood itself.
More IMing with my mom, will paste that later...
My Name Is Earl is one of the best shows on TV right now.
So just a random thought about boys, men, guys, and "the game"...
Last night a few of us girls were having drinks (and water :P) at Happy Hour...and there was a group of 3 guys who kept looking our way. Somehow they ended up chatting with us (probably because we asked them to take a pic of us) and I don't mean to be mean...but....my girlfriends were WAY too goodlooking for these guys. In fact, i'll be mean, because my girlfriends are hot dammit.
And then next to them were these 2 guys...one was so-so, but the short dude was cute....and eventually i pushed one of my friends onto him....
And my thought is...
Why do ugly guys have the balls to talk to hot chicks?
Or is it that hot guys don't have to worry about it because they know the chicks will come to them? ALthough honestly, those 2 guys were by no means hot...one was cute, but that was it.
And on a similar thought...why chicks find it so important to get married....Sabina's opinion (and these opinions are my own, and do not necessarily reflect those of all womankind)...
Take edumacation for example. Your earliest memories involve school and you're in school for a frickin' long time, but eventually you know it's over. Graduation day is like one big sigh of relief (mixed with the letter behind your diploma when you're sitting at your seat playing with your GameBoy because your graduation ceremony was so effing long and that letter was from the alumni association wanting you to start donating cash....eff that crap I've only been an alumni for thirty seconds and already you want MORE money? Eff you)...it's OVER.
The same kind of deal is with chicks and marriage...starting with Bridal Barbie we're weaned on "the big day" notion, and then when you're big time dating it's all one big bizarre game, with that ring as the grand prize. And when it happens you get that sigh of relief, it's OVER...no more dating game.
I'll be the first one to say that marriage is boatloads of work and sacrifice and all that crap....but at the same time, dang, I do NOT have the energy for "the game" and maybe that's why some chicks aspire to get hitched at 22 or 23....how well do you want to play the game, how long do you want to play the game...
The game looks like ALOTTA work....it involves constant leg shaving...it requires nice clothes....it requires being Crazy Fun Girl....
I'm a lazy mofo. Which explains why I was always Serial Monogamy Girl....committment is way easier and way less work than dating (because i'm all about my sweatshirt and track pants and glasses on a Saturday night!)...
So I bow to the girls who are in the game and are good at it...marriage is for those of us that are just too lazy to keep playing!

I'm the most immature grownup ever
Is there anything more fabulous than:
My Little Pony
Power Puff Girls (mojo jojo!!)
Disney movies (still gotta open my Cinderella DVD)
Seventeen magazine
if i could, I'd still read Babysitter's Club, Sweet Valley High, and Nancy Drew (old skool Nancy Drew with the yellow covers, not any of the trendier stuff written under the original author's name)...
The Pony Project!!! Damn I wish i lived in New York!

The Pony Project!!! Damn I wish i lived in New York!
Sunday bloody Sunday
Yeah I realized that by linking to the Nicole Richie pic it effs up the template, but it'll get bumped over to the October posts anyway when November hits, so suck it.
The song of the day is You and Me by Lifehouse
You and me and all of the people
With nothing to do nothin to prove and
It's you and me and all of the people and
I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you
What day is it
And in what month
This clock never seemed so alive
I managed to score all 3 of the Holiday Exclusive My Little Pony, which is pretty rare each year...i also got one extra of the MInty, which will be saved for ebay of course (i do this each year and each year i never sell them, excpet for year one which i'm kicking myself for, i mean i have a ton of extras but now they go for $75 and i sold mine for like $30)...
Here's the deal with the lawyer...
You get yourself a living trust, and then get a "pour over" will so that if youv'e got like $100K of stuff that you forgot to fund into the trust, well at least the will part will get it covered. As a safety net. note to self: need to get paperwork to fund the trust for both the timeshare and Kraig's mustang.
There's all sorts of things you need to have in place so that if you hospitalized, other people can take care of "property" stuff, and people can take care of medical stuff...normally that person is your spouse, but if you're both effed up, you need someone else to step in. All that Power of Attorney for Property, Power of Attorney for Medical (=living will) stuff.
When it comes to buying ahouse, most people get "joint tenant with right of survivorship", but apparently that's NOT what you want...what you want is "community property with right of survivorship", that way the IRS treats all the gains like you bought it the year you sell it, or somethingl ike that. Like when yous ell your house, you get $250K exemption and your spouse gets $250K exemption...well if the spouse dies, you're effed, unles syou do the community property route.
And the biggie......turns out that being Canadian effing sucks. The lawyer was like "PLEASE get your US citizenship!" and I'm like "hey I've got 330 days to wait for my conditional green card to be switched toa regular one!"...Trust me, i'll get that badass citizenship when I can, I'll exploit this US thing for all I can. Once again, NOT something I would have known just going to NOLO.COM, but if you're not a US citizen then you get taxed through the nose if you inherit stuff...because the IRS doesn't do that normally (gift and estate taxes) because they're all for their people getting loads of dough to spend within the country, but the idea is that if you're NOT a US Citizen, then you can easily say "i don't want ot be here anymore without my spouse" and take all that cash to another country...uncle sam isn't down for that.
So i have to get a "Q." which is some sort of validity of domestic trust, which says that someone else is the co-trustee and they're agreeing that if i skip the country, they'll pay the taxes. Yeah don't know too many people who are going to agree to that, especially since i'm 3 or 4 years away from getting my citizenship.
And then when it comes to trusts there's all sorts of "styles", what you want is an "A/B" style because then whenever it gets down to your kids, they don't get reemed on the taxes (especially when teh estate grows)...and you want the Disclaimer A/B Trust, not the Formula A/B trust (which is good for say blended families, stuff like that)...
Anyway, it was a 2.5 hour meeting and I wanted to shoot myself when it was all over, and we have yet to begin.
When he started the paperwork, he asked what we wanted to name the trust. Like most people would just put the "Horigan Trust" or something like that...Kraig and I looked at each other and KNEW of course what that trust was going to be named...
The Marmalade Trust
Booyah. Of course if Marmalade dies by the time I have to call this whole thing into effect, i'll probably be more depressed than before....
Kraig wanted "One Trust to rule them all..." but i told him if that I had to deal with any LOTR crap when dealing with his death, I would probably flip out.
Dang i'm sleepy today.
The song of the day is You and Me by Lifehouse
You and me and all of the people
With nothing to do nothin to prove and
It's you and me and all of the people and
I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you
What day is it
And in what month
This clock never seemed so alive
I managed to score all 3 of the Holiday Exclusive My Little Pony, which is pretty rare each year...i also got one extra of the MInty, which will be saved for ebay of course (i do this each year and each year i never sell them, excpet for year one which i'm kicking myself for, i mean i have a ton of extras but now they go for $75 and i sold mine for like $30)...
Here's the deal with the lawyer...
You get yourself a living trust, and then get a "pour over" will so that if youv'e got like $100K of stuff that you forgot to fund into the trust, well at least the will part will get it covered. As a safety net. note to self: need to get paperwork to fund the trust for both the timeshare and Kraig's mustang.
There's all sorts of things you need to have in place so that if you hospitalized, other people can take care of "property" stuff, and people can take care of medical stuff...normally that person is your spouse, but if you're both effed up, you need someone else to step in. All that Power of Attorney for Property, Power of Attorney for Medical (=living will) stuff.
When it comes to buying ahouse, most people get "joint tenant with right of survivorship", but apparently that's NOT what you want...what you want is "community property with right of survivorship", that way the IRS treats all the gains like you bought it the year you sell it, or somethingl ike that.

Late night random thoughts
It's almost 2am, Sat night...
Just more random thoughts and griping, as usual.
Met with the lawyer today, more in another blog for sure, but I just gotta say G*DDAMN there's so much to know there's no way that printing a few forms off Nolo.com is gonna cut it, especially when it comes to tax ramifications and what not. It's kinda sad when the lawyer asks you whether your want your family to take charge of stuff and both you and your husband yell "NO!!!"....
My confession: now that Jimmy Fallon is gone from SNL, for some reason Seth Meyers is starting to look really hot in my mind (even though part of me thinks he might be gay...whatever).
I bought this purple/aubergine top that has a great cut to it but has hints of sparkle which always makes things look cheap, so I don't know if i'm gonna keep it (okay, well it WAS cheap but I love the style...just that sparkle situation)...it's one thing when you live somewhere with snow, 'cause then you think of the holidays and all that good stuff. When you live in California, it's more like "dang...can I get away by putting a jean jacket over that tshirt in December?"...
I want a new iron (I know, how very Martha of me to want one), but I want to splurge on a decent one...I don't think the one I have now gets hot enough and I want one with a stainless steel soleplate and a cord that recoils.
Speaking of ironing, wtf...so today I ran a bunch of errands, and I had to get new fluorescant lights for the bathroom (going days without lights in the bathroom is effing hard!), but somehow at Target I bought everything BUT the lights so after I pulled out of the complex and I realized I had forgotten, I drove up one street and went to Walmart to buy the lights...both stores were out of ironing boards, I normally use a tabletop board 'cause I'm so anti-ironing it's against my morals and principles to get a full-sized one...but lately I"ve been handwashing everything I own which means serious ironing required...
Yeah that's my griping, it's about ironing, whatcha gonna do about it? Suck it...
Every now and then thanks to Netflix I get to watch movies that I always think "yeah...i should watch that..." but would never rent and can't rent with friends because they're either REALLY old or eveyrone else has seen it....today I watched A Fish Called Wanda...yeah I'm an idiot, I never saw it, suck it. Totally retarded movie and yet I totally died laughing every time Kevin Kline kept yelling at people for their driving.
There's boatloads of movies that everyone's seen that I haven't and I need to get off my ass and rent. I boycotted Blair Witch and Sixth Sense for the longest time because I got so fed up of hearing about them. I refuse to ever watch Blair Witch (long story,don't ask) but eventually I figured I should see Sixth Sense 'cause I dig Bruce Willis...until um yeah I watched 50 First Dates and Drew Barrymore TELLS YOU what happens in it (this is the part where I wreak it for anyone who hasn't seen it and I tell you that she says how he's a ghost the entire time)....I think I screamed in the movie theater when she said that, and eventually when I did see Sixth Sense i was like "g*ddamn this is a boring movie" because to me, it was super obvious either way...but then again, that blond kid irritates the crap out of me so I'm sure I would have disliked it regardless.
In other news, I think my subscription to US Weekly ran out.
US Weekly is like...my BIBLE.
I just can't justify the cost of that subscription though...maybe if I get it cheap of ebay (which is THE place to get super cheap subscriptions), but even then it'll take at least 3 months to fully process. The highlight of my week is running to the mailbox on a Friday to get my US Weekly....sigh.
I can't believe it's already Hallowe'en in a week. IN A WEEK. That's crazy. This year flew by so effing fast. I can't believe I'm going to Vegas AGAIN for Hallowe'en. I can't believe that my costume will be a non-costume 'cause I'm sick of dressing up for parties or vegas each year.
Although I seriously looooove giving out candy...this is my 2nd year owning a home on Hallowe'en and I'm so psyched to give out candy again...I'm the biggest cheapest bastard on the planet, but Hallowe'en is my one time to go all out...you know...I gotta give back to the people! Gotta pay my dues, and I"m more than fine by that because Hallowe'en is the only holiday where hands-down, every year was a fabulous memory.
Going to surf the web for dresses that I'll never buy and then go to sleep.

I love Arnold!
Seriously, I love Arnold.
I really do.
At least he's got the balls to flat out say he's too busy for the president: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051021/ap_on_re_us/schwarzenegger_bush_visit
I love that he calls people Girly Men...
I love that he's standing his ground on NOT giving driver's licenses to illegals while still being all "Oh, we'll find something for them" but not coming up with anything (hey, I know the game...I know he's gotta BS around to make as many people as happy as possible)...
I love that he's actually taking a pay CUT to do that job...he's not some sniveling little twerp who's daddy wanted him to be the president his entire life
I love that he's not American
I love that my governer was in Running Man, Terminator (x3), he was Conan, that people think he gropes women to this day, and that he practically owns Joe Weider's ass.
My only complaint?
His wife needs to eat a burger....and get her teeth fixed. Egads.

Cats in the cradle....
A few thoughts...
I think Nicole Richie is fabulous, she looks a million times better than before...kudos to her stylist for turning her into a gorgeous classy lady:
Link to a snippet of Madonna's new video for Hung Up...holy crap I can't believe how badly I can't wait for that CD to come out. I'm almost holding my breath....
You've got balls to try and pull this off on ebay: Chinese Police Probe Online Baby Auction
So a little something on my mind...
According to Dictionary.com, the definition of FLIRT is:To make playfully romantic or sexual overtures.
And to clarify "playfully": Full of fun and high spirits; frolicsome or sportive
That being said, I almost take GREAT offense when someone calls me a flirt. It's one thing to do that with a guy you're dating, seeing, sleeping with, or generally have serious chemistry that will lead to any of the previous items....
But in general, like say just chatting it up with someone, I am NOT a flirt. "Romantic or sexual overtures"...wtf...i have neither a romantic nor a sexy bone in my body, I'm the kid sister type. It took me almost 2 years of eating at the same place each week to get to the point where I could ask, when offered free chips, for the dude to toss in some guacamole...and I almost had a heart attack doing it.
I'm not afraid to get chatty with people and crap...i'll talk to a homeless dude, i don't care, but that's more of a random fascination with anything that passes my fancy at that exact second.
I think at most maybe 3 or 4 times has anyone ever called me a flirt (especially while sober!), and I almost flipped my lid.
I
Am
NOT
a
flirt!
Or at least, a good one....
Flirting requires skill...it's an art. Take Sylvia. I think she's gorgeous, and when you see that girl in action you know she's not messin' around. She giggles, she feigns interest in stupid boy crap, and she can walk that delicate line between teasing vs. making a guy feel stupid....I bow to her flirting greatness.
I however fall more into the "one of guys" category...not as much now since I'm married and I'm trying to be a little more girly girl as I get older (I was NEVER girly girl before)...but some chicks get in good with guys because they flirt, and guys feel good when girls flirt with them. That's WAY too much work if it doesn't come naturally, so eff that crap. I'd rather just hang out with a bunch of guys, talk smack, eat like a pig, dress like a slob (HA...Kraig even pointed out last night how i've got socks from elementary school that I still wear...I love my super faded-to-grey socks!), and let my pretty friends do the flirting work on my behalf.
And let's not forget, flirting comes in different forms. Angelina Jolie does it with her "come hither" eyes. Tara Reid does it by grabbing a guy's shlong in a bar. Same diff. It's all flirting in the name of playfully romantic or sexual overtures.
Mother.
effer.
It's like when people say i'm naturally thin (and i'm not, y'all have seen me in a bikini, i seriously need plastic surgery in the boob department).....let's be real, the people who know me know that I go to the gym at 11pm at night if i have to...and before I got married, i used to leave functions so that i could get to the gym before it closed (it was Gold's, not 24HF)...
On to other subjects
There's no song of the day because i have an old Michael Jackson song in my head (wanna be startin' sumthin') and if i write about that, I'll have to blog about how Michael wants to be hardcore and I told Nicole I wouldn't do that :P
I agree with everyone: LC and Jason should NOT be together, he's an idiot, and LC is way too gorgeous to be with a tool like him.
Final note: thank you Nic B for that article on pregnancy through the years...becausei 'm effing sick and tired of people telling me that i shouldn't worry about being like 50 when having kids... Kraig and i have the WORST luck and we'll be the statistic....SO yeah, i'm getting pregnant by the end of next year.

Need. Sleep. Bad. Sigh.
It's 5:35am.
I've been awake since THREE AM.
Stash has been a menace all night, he keeps circling my pillow and chewing on my hair and really I could probably handle all that (even though his tail and fur in my face isn't so comfy), but he has serious claws and I'm always afraid he'll claw my face (cat scratches scar big time...I should know!).
Then you have Marmalade sleeping on my side of the bed, plus Kraig's incesssant snoring...normally this all starts at 4 or 5am, but today it started at 3 and since I didn't get to bed until 11:30...well I'm going to be super cranky later today that's for sure.
Might as well start reading this morning's news...
This is effing hilarious
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - The author of a new state law that allows felony charges against owners of dangerous dogs was hospitalized over the weekend after his own dog attacked him.
And i love animals...but...irony is always good for a laugh.
LOS ANGELES - Antonio Banderas got down on his knees and rubbed his hands over his new Hollywood star on Tuesday, then stood up and reminisced warmly about the events that led to his being immortalized on the entertaiment capital's Walk of Fame.
Okay I think the man is pretty hot, even in his old age...but really other than Desperado (one of the best movies EVER) and Shrek2, has he done anything THAT fabulous? And before you ask, I dare you to try and watch effing 13th Warrior. Exactly.
It's super hard for me to read the news here in the US because a good chunk of it is political stuff and since I can't vote, I prefer to keep myself as ignorant as possible. It's a choice every immigrant has to make for herself. I end up getting really pissed off at not being able to make a change...or at the very least, I end up thinking "am I missing something? Are people here just retarded? What the bleep is wrong with people?!"...
That being said...
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Investigators at the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services recently became aware of four cases of HIV infection related to work in the adult film industry. The infections occurred despite a widely adopted voluntary program of HIV and STD testing in the industry.
As reported in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the first identified case was a 40-year-old man who tested HIV-negative on February 12 and March 17, 2004, but tested positive on April 9.
You know what I love about that article? Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. That is officially the best title for anything EVER. Who decides on the content? I would love LOVE love to have that on my resume...."Contributing author for Morbidity and Mortality Weekly...job duties include finding some effed up sh*t"...
Kraig owes me big time...Stash is in the computer room bugging me which means he's not in the bedroom bugging Kraig...he better enjoy that sleep...
Well isn't this effing fabulous:
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) - Eastman Kodak Co., stung by a sharp drop in film sales midway through its painful shift from traditional photography to digital imaging, posted a third-quarter loss of $1.03 billion US largely because of one-time tax charges related to its massive restructuring.
And guess who's retarded enough to have stocks in Kodak? Oh yeah that would be ME. Okay so i've only got like 5 stocks, but with the stupid service charge I needed them to go up a bit just to break even (I paid $27ish and it's around $23ish right now). I swear, I have the worst luck EVER. There's one relatively cheap stock that I kept telling myself I had to buy (because I know how fabulous the company is), it was only $6 at the time and now it's over $12 and I'm KICKING myself because I totally knew it was going to go up. I swear I'm the biggest moron I know.
Had to yell just now at Stash for chewing on the metal Boba Fett I got Kraig last year
Yeah.
I'm babbling.
I'm exhausted.
And I'm FREEZING wtf.
Marmalde is pawling at my lap (she just jumped on, countdown to when she starts to jump on the keyboard)
I want a stupid bagel with strawberry cream cheese
Friday Five even though it's a Wednesday:
1. What deadlines do you have in your life right now?
- to get that whole wills/advanced medical directiving/living wills/trusts crap done
- to finally get additional life insurance
- to re-appraise my wedding ring for my jewelry insurance
- to re-do the photos for the house insurance (since the last time i did all that was when we were renting)
- to do serious inventory of our stuff for house insurance (becuase people always underestimate what they have)
- to put up all that crap i've got on ebay...i used to be SO good but the past 2 months, i've slacked
2. How well do you generally deal with external deadlines (i.e., those imposed by other people or factors)?
- I do very good, however if it's something cash related I get it done asap...if there's no cash involved, I prograstinate big time...heck even my green card conditional thing i took forever to do.
3. How well do you generally deal with internal deadlines (i.e., those imposed by yourself)?
- once again, depends if cash is a factor...like say getting supplemental insurance for things i'm good at doing...but just general "should do" like cleaning or whatever, i'm a lazy bastard.
4. What's the most important deadline that you've ever missed?
- Well...i missed that deadline to roll over the CD-type IRA that finally was reaching maturity and now i'ts locked in for another 3 years or something like that...otherwise....can't think of anything.
5. What's the most important deadline that you *didn't* miss?
- my green card application (the permanent one removing the conditional sentencing)
- renewing my passport while i was still on a visa (since i'm out of the country, that's not something I can afford to have expire!)
- I dunno...
Time to get in 10 mins of sleeping before my alarm goes off for work.
I've been awake since THREE AM.
Stash has been a menace all night, he keeps circling my pillow and chewing on my hair and really I could probably handle all that (even though his tail and fur in my face isn't so comfy), but he has serious claws and I'm always afraid he'll claw my face (cat scratches scar big time...I should know!).
Then you have Marmalade sleeping on my side of the bed, plus Kraig's incesssant snoring...normally this all starts at 4 or 5am, but today it started at 3 and since I didn't get to bed until 11:30...well I'm going to be super cranky later today that's for sure.
Might as well start reading this morning's news...
This is effing hilarious
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - The author of a new state law that allows felony charges against owners of dangerous dogs was hospitalized over the weekend after his own dog attacked him.
And i love animals...but...irony is always good for a laugh.
LOS ANGELES - Antonio Banderas got down on his knees and rubbed his hands over his new Hollywood star on Tuesday, then stood up and reminisced warmly about the events that led to his being immortalized on the entertaiment capital's Walk of Fame.
Okay I think the man is pretty hot, even in his old age...but really other than Desperado (one of the best movies EVER) and Shrek2, has he done anything THAT fabulous? And before you ask, I dare you to try and watch effing 13th Warrior. Exactly.
It's super hard for me to read the news here in the US because a good chunk of it is political stuff and since I can't vote, I prefer to keep myself as ignorant as possible. It's a choice every immigrant has to make for herself. I end up getting really pissed off at not being able to make a change...or at the very least, I end up thinking "am I missing something? Are people here just retarded? What the bleep is wrong with people?!"...
That being said...
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Investigators at the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services recently became aware of four cases of HIV infection related to work in the adult film industry. The infections occurred despite a widely adopted voluntary program of HIV and STD testing in the industry.
As reported in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the first identified case was a 40-year-old man who tested HIV-negative on February 12 and March 17, 2004, but tested positive on April 9.
You know what I love about that article? Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. That is officially the best title for anything EVER. Who decides on the content? I would love LOVE love to have that on my resume...."Contributing author for Morbidity and Mortality Weekly...job duties include finding some effed up sh*t"...
Kraig owes me big time...Stash is in the computer room bugging me which means he's not in the bedroom bugging Kraig...he better enjoy that sleep...
Well isn't this effing fabulous:
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) - Eastman Kodak Co., stung by a sharp drop in film sales midway through its painful shift from traditional photography to digital imaging, posted a third-quarter loss of $1.03 billion US largely because of one-time tax charges related to its massive restructuring.
And guess who's retarded enough to have stocks in Kodak? Oh yeah that would be ME. Okay so i've only got like 5 stocks, but with the stupid service charge I needed them to go up a bit just to break even (I paid $27ish and it's around $23ish right now). I swear, I have the worst luck EVER. There's one relatively cheap stock that I kept telling myself I had to buy (because I know how fabulous the company is), it was only $6 at the time and now it's over $12 and I'm KICKING myself because I totally knew it was going to go up. I swear I'm the biggest moron I know.
Had to yell just now at Stash for chewing on the metal Boba Fett I got Kraig last year
Yeah.
I'm babbling.
I'm exhausted.
And I'm FREEZING wtf.
Marmalde is pawling at my lap (she just jumped on, countdown to when she starts to jump on the keyboard)
I want a stupid bagel with strawberry cream cheese
Friday Five even though it's a Wednesday:
1. What deadlines do you have in your life right now?
- to get that whole wills/advanced medical directiving/living wills/trusts crap done
- to finally get additional life insurance
- to re-appraise my wedding ring for my jewelry insurance
- to re-do the photos for the house insurance (since the last time i did all that was when we were renting)
- to do serious inventory of our stuff for house insurance (becuase people always underestimate what they have)
- to put up all that crap i've got on ebay...i used to be SO good but the past 2 months, i've slacked
2. How well do you generally deal with external deadlines (i.e., those imposed by other people or factors)?
- I do very good, however if it's something cash related I get it done asap...if there's no cash involved, I prograstinate big time...heck even my green card conditional thing i took forever to do.
3. How well do you generally deal with internal deadlines (i.e., those imposed by yourself)?
- once again, depends if cash is a factor...like say getting supplemental insurance for things i'm good at doing...but just general "should do" like cleaning or whatever, i'm a lazy bastard.
4. What's the most important deadline that you've ever missed?
- Well...i missed that deadline to roll over the CD-type IRA that finally was reaching maturity and now i'ts locked in for another 3 years or something like that...otherwise....can't think of anything.
5. What's the most important deadline that you *didn't* miss?
- my green card application (the permanent one removing the conditional sentencing)
- renewing my passport while i was still on a visa (since i'm out of the country, that's not something I can afford to have expire!)

Recently my friends and I were having an argument about whether or not a woman could get pregnant from a man's pre-cum... so can she or not???
Thanx 4 the help, Confused...
Dear Confused...,
Yes, a woman can, though the chances are low. Sperm could be in pre-cum, but only after a recent ejaculation, after which some sperm may be left hanging around in the urethra. "Recent" means masturbating earlier and then having sex with a woman, or during the same sexual episode of the recent ejaculation. Urinating in between ejaculations flushes the urethra of stray sperm and makes the way clear for the sperm-less pre-ejaculate fluid. If sperm remains after a prior ejaculation, then it's possible that they can enter the vagina and make their way to meet an egg.
Hey somehow guys have bladders of steel and can go again within say an hour but without peeing in between...
http://magazines.ivillage.com/cosmopolitan/experts/carnal/qas/0,,638353_615777,00.html
My boyfriend likes to rub his penis on the outside of my vagina. Is there any chance that I could get pregnant from his pre-ejaculatory fluid?
While it's not likely, it is possible. When a guy is aroused, a clear alkaline liquid -- that's considered to be sperm-free -- is released to lubricate his urethra (the tube that carries the urine and sperm out of his body), preparing it for the safe passage of sperm when he does in fact ejaculate.
But any sperm left in the urethra from a previous ejaculation can mix with the secretion. And, if his little swimmers make their way into your vagina, you can get pregnant. You should also know that this fluid can transmit STDs, such as HIV and hepatitis. And, other diseases, such as herpes, can be passed simply by rubbing against each other's genitals.
Bottom line: Since exposure to pre-ejaculatory fluid can lead to pregnancy, play it smart and have him use a condom. If you add water-based lube, he'll learn that rubbing against you will still feel fabulous.
Exactly.

Out of Sight, On His Mind
By: Jessica Rogers
Women may be stereotyped as the clingy ones in a relationship, but it's men who truly have separation anxiety.
The longer men are away from their partners, the more attractive they find them and the more they want to have sex with them, says Todd Shackelford, Ph.D. Women are not similarly affected by time away from their lovers, his surveys show.
Men aren't necessarily more sensitive, says Shackelford, assistant professor of psychology at Florida Atlantic University. He thinks they're just acting on an ancient survival instinct--the fear that another man might get to their partner, fertilize her egg and pass on his genes first. Prior studies confirm the theory, showing that the longer a man goes without sex, the more sperm he ejaculates when he next has intercourse--nature's way of making up for lost time.
I think we all knew that last part...

Craigslist
I swear, the first thing I found when I moved to the was Craigslist, and I love it so much I even thanked it in my wedding speech.
This made me die laughing this morning:
They say thin is in but fats where its at. Whoever they are. It's also said that the best kind of woman to marry is a fat tattooed ugly woman. Because you have heat in the winter, shade in the summer and moving pictures all year round. And if she's butt ugly you won't have to worry bout anybody taking her from you. I myself prefer plump woman over skinny women any day of the week. Don't want an obese woman . Just a plump one. They're so cuddly. And if they're homeless it's even better. Because then it don't matter where in the fuck you drop em off at.

Adult Version of 'Doctor Who' To Hit Screens
An adult spin-off of Doctor Who which contains sex and bad language is set to shock fans of the classic family TV show. The BBC has commissioned risque new series Torchwood, an anagram of Doctor Who, which will air late at night. Torchwood is to be written by Doctor Who scriptwriter Russell T. Davies and will star that program's John Barrowman. It follows a team investigating crime and alien activities in contemporary Britain. Davies says, "Torchwood will be a dark, clever, wild, sexy, British crime/sci-fi paranoid thriller cop show with a sense of humor." BBC3 boss Stuart Murphy adds, "The people have affairs with one another. There will be sex and swearing, I assume. I'm quite relaxed about that."
I love LOVE love Dr. Who. I used to watch it every Saturday night, it was one some cheesy public access type channel in Canada. Dr. Who is like the poor man's James Bond (and they've probably had just as many actors playing him).
I doubt i'll ever be able to see it since it's on the BBC, but dang...seriously...Dr. Who rocks.

Of money, lawyers, and IMs with my husband
Okay before i seriously start blogging the weekend, I need to have a freak out about money...
The wildcard bills that I get are my car insurance bills and disability insurance bills, because they're always over $500 and i get them every 3 or 4 months or so....but between the two of them, i never know when they're coming in...that's just more anxiety than I can handle for now.
Anyway my car insurance bill came in, and I'm setting up an appointment with another lawyer for our wills and all that (Yeah i know i can do all tha tmyself but right now, i just don't have the motivation to get all the stuff from nolo.com and i figure, this is a one time expense so i might as well just get it over with)...
So that's around $1500 this month, if not $2500, just for those two payments, and if you include my property tax payment of over $5000, we're looking at $6500 to $7500 in one month and um yeah that makes me want to projectile vomit.
Thank GOD life insurance is relatively cheap.
Kraig's going to kill me for posting this convo:
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:18:46 PM): I want us to meet with a lawyer for wills, advanced medical care directives, etc...what day next week after work works for you (and you can get out earliest?)
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:19:10 PM): or actually, can you meet on the 22nd with him or do you have DnD
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:19:23 PM): 22nd is what day?
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:19:33 PM): sat
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:19:37 PM): next sat
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:19:54 PM): yes I think we moved it to sat afternoon
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:19:59 PM): so if we wanted to go sat morningthat would be fine
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:26:45 PM): are you free this saturday morning to meet with the lawyer?
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:26:58 PM): yes
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:26:58 PM): I believe so
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:27:17 PM): how much is this going to cost us?
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:27:19 PM): okay i'll scope it out with the lawyer, it depends if nicole T is coming down this weekend or not, otherwise it'll be the 22nd.
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:27:31 PM): Cost...between 1K and 2K probably. That's the average it seems.
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:28:07 PM): geezes
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:28:07 PM): do we have that right now?
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:29:11 PM): well put it this way....we can't afford NOT to. If something happens to the other person, we're pretty hosed. Like you can't change any of the accounts listed under my name if i'm in some coma for 20 years without serious hell....this isn't an option.
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:29:37 PM): We also need life insurance, but i'm waiting for this presentation we're getting in a few weeks from a new company here at work....and that's pretty cheap.
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:30:00 PM): ok ok
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:30:04 PM): marriage is stupid
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:30:04 PM): :P
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:30:22 PM): no kidding.
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:30:35 PM): I am glad you take this stuff seriously
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:30:49 PM): I thought you didn't like that I did all of this, like i'm being too paranoid.
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:30:56 PM): I dont have the patience for it
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:31:16 PM): no I like it that you do... I dont like IT
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:31:21 PM): which has nothing to do with you
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:31:27 PM): if is a big hassle to me
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:31:42 PM): its like we are married... that should automatical convert everything.
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:31:58 PM): why we have to pay a lawyer something that is pretty obvious is beyond me
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:32:19 PM): its like the lawyers put things in place so they have work to do
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:32:32 PM): But it's not obvious...just because we're married doesn't give you the right to say close my credit card account or something.
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:32:36 PM): Unless i give you permission.
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:32:47 PM): if you die it should
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:32:52 PM): since you arent around anymore
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:32:57 PM): that is pretty obvious to me
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:33:14 PM): I'm not worried about death, because yeah in that case it IS that easy. But if one of us is hospitalized, that's the problem i'm worried about.
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:33:43 PM): I don't want my credit score to go down when i'm out of my coma just because you coudln't tell the creditors to let you have access to stuff.
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:33:48 PM): I want to be able to yell at you when i come out
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:34:00 PM): Oh you will
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:34:05 PM): but if you are in a coma it shouldnt matter
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:34:10 PM): cause you said to pull the plug
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:34:26 PM): so I am making sure you never come out
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:35:18 PM): Yeah i'm all for pulling the plug...i couldn't be bothered to stick around if i'm already half dead anyway!
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:35:31 PM): :P
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:35:35 PM): i am sure our kids will appreciate that
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:35:41 PM): well that's a whole other issue.
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:35:49 PM): leave me with a tub
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:35:49 PM): tube
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:35:54 PM): we need to figure out legal guardians and stuff.
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:36:01 PM): I am all for being a robot
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:36:10 PM): borg me out

Kraig (10/17/2005 4:37:14 PM): i cant believe you are going against my wishes because its too much effort
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:37:27 PM): sorry to put you out
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:37:30 PM): Well you and her can lead a fabulous new robot life, and I'll get it on with the poolboy.
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:37:51 PM): I guess I should have married someone with a little more love for me
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:37:51 PM): I'll let you have your life support if you get me a home withe a pool. Or a guy who mows the lawn...the lawn we don't have....
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:38:20 PM): You realize this is going in the blog!
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:38:25 PM): you are setting up all this stuff so it will be easy to knock me off
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:38:25 PM): no hassles

sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:38:52 PM): get with it!
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:38:58 PM): that leaves a trail
Kraig: why is it that women poison?
sabinaims: Because women cook the meals!
Kraig: something about feeling too guility to just do it too my face!!
Kraig: oh I didnt do anything... it is his dumbass fault for eating my food
Kraig: he should have known it was poison
Kraig: dumbass
sabinaims: No, i'll be like Bree...the pharmacist did it....except i'll make sure the pharmacist isn't a GAY actor...
Kraig: with big eyebrows... like the gay lawyer?

sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:29:11 PM): well put it this way....we can't afford NOT to. If something happens to the other person, we're pretty hosed. Like you can't change any of the accounts listed under my name if i'm in some coma for 20 years without serious hell....this isn't an option.
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:29:37 PM): We also need life insurance, but i'm waiting for this presentation we're getting in a few weeks from a new company here at work....and that's pretty cheap.
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:30:00 PM): ok ok
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:30:04 PM): marriage is stupid
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:30:04 PM): :P
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:30:22 PM): no kidding.
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:30:35 PM): I am glad you take this stuff seriously
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:30:49 PM): I thought you didn't like that I did all of this, like i'm being too paranoid.
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:30:56 PM): I dont have the patience for it
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:31:16 PM): no I like it that you do... I dont like IT
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:31:21 PM): which has nothing to do with you
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:31:27 PM): if is a big hassle to me
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:31:42 PM): its like we are married... that should automatical convert everything.
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:31:58 PM): why we have to pay a lawyer something that is pretty obvious is beyond me
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:32:19 PM): its like the lawyers put things in place so they have work to do
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:32:32 PM): But it's not obvious...just because we're married doesn't give you the right to say close my credit card account or something.
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:32:36 PM): Unless i give you permission.
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:32:47 PM): if you die it should
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:32:52 PM): since you arent around anymore
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:32:57 PM): that is pretty obvious to me
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:33:14 PM): I'm not worried about death, because yeah in that case it IS that easy. But if one of us is hospitalized, that's the problem i'm worried about.
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:33:43 PM): I don't want my credit score to go down when i'm out of my coma just because you coudln't tell the creditors to let you have access to stuff.
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:33:48 PM): I want to be able to yell at you when i come out
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:34:00 PM): Oh you will
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:34:05 PM): but if you are in a coma it shouldnt matter
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:34:10 PM): cause you said to pull the plug
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:34:26 PM): so I am making sure you never come out
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:35:18 PM): Yeah i'm all for pulling the plug...i couldn't be bothered to stick around if i'm already half dead anyway!
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:35:31 PM): :P
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:35:35 PM): i am sure our kids will appreciate that
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:35:41 PM): well that's a whole other issue.
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:35:49 PM): leave me with a tub
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:35:49 PM): tube
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:35:54 PM): we need to figure out legal guardians and stuff.
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:36:01 PM): I am all for being a robot
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:36:10 PM): borg me out
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:36:24 PM): i'm not borging you out, that's too much effort. plus isn't 7 of 9 a borg?!
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:36:37 PM): yah and she is hot
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:36:46 PM): if lifesupport makes you hot I am all for it
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:37:14 PM): i cant believe you are going against my wishes because its too much effort
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:37:27 PM): sorry to put you out
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:37:30 PM): Well you and her can lead a fabulous new robot life, and I'll get it on with the poolboy.
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:37:51 PM): I guess I should have married someone with a little more love for me
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:37:51 PM): I'll let you have your life support if you get me a home withe a pool. Or a guy who mows the lawn...the lawn we don't have....
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:38:20 PM): You realize this is going in the blog!
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:38:25 PM): you are setting up all this stuff so it will be easy to knock me off
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:38:25 PM): no hassles
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:38:35 PM): why?
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:38:43 PM): Yeah i'm buying the arsenic on ebay right now.
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:38:48 PM): this is blog-worthy.
sabinaims (10/17/2005 4:38:52 PM): get with it!
Kraig (10/17/2005 4:38:58 PM): that leaves a trail
Kraig: why is it that women poison?
sabinaims: Because women cook the meals!
Kraig: something about feeling too guility to just do it too my face!!
Kraig: oh I didnt do anything... it is his dumbass fault for eating my food
Kraig: he should have known it was poison
Kraig: dumbass
sabinaims: No, i'll be like Bree...the pharmacist did it....except i'll make sure the pharmacist isn't a GAY actor...
Kraig: with big eyebrows... like the gay lawyer?
Kraig: they are like brothers
sabinaims: what gay lawyer?
Kraig: i cant tell the two apart.. they should have made the horney lawyer look totally different
sabinaims: that lawyer looks TOTALLY different, wtf!
Kraig: like the Rock.. the Rock should have been the lawyer for Mrs. Solice
Kraig: he could have gave the people's eyebrow to carlos...
Kraig: no the lawyer looked just like the pharmists
Kraig: forgot two letters
Kraig: pharmacist
sabinaims: The rock isn't very slick...i think he's super hot, and I'D do him if he was our lawyer, but Gabby won't...
Kraig: She likes the young ones huh
sabinaims: yep
Kraig: like that todd guy from smallville
sabinaims: who's todd?
Kraig: tom?
Kraig: superboy
Kraig: I dont know his dumbass name
Kraig: only that he is in the fog
sabinaims: TOM WELLING omg get it right...
sabinaims: geezus it's your fault i think he's hot
Kraig: Like I care
sabinaims: you shouldn't watch stupid comic book shows
good times...welcome to the world of marriage and discussing life's important tasks...somehow the conversation always gets off track!
Beat that bitch with a bat
yes i edited my running man blog becuase i put 1980 instead of 1990 for the fly girls date...bite me! My brain was elsewhere
So I've been put in charge of BLOG duty, which means whenever something super funny or inspirational came up, I had to write it on wahtever paper I could find and then later write about it when we came back.
It's gonna be a long day of random thought blogging lol.
Just a few disclaimers...
1. It's back to being a gym whore. It's a REQUIREMENT. I can't even zip up half my pants! I was flipping out this morning.
2. I kinda wish i HAD got that coach purse, although I would have kicked myself i'm sure later (especially with the credit card situation)....i just cleared out a ton of my purses though and i need to restock!
3. I also need new bikinis...i've only got like 2 that i really like, i have a third that i love but Stash chewed the halter thingy for it...it's official, i'm throwing ALL of my old ones out (and i've gotl ike 7 or 8 old ones that could stand to be pitched).
4. Beat that bitch with a bat....why can't i get that out of my head?!
5. My cuticles are SO effing dry, and I think it's partially from the dry air in Palm SPrings...seriously, thank GOD NicoleD brought her fancy shmancy suped up humidifier...which goes to show you how old we are when we plan on packing humidifiers instead of loads of alcohol. Although we drank plenty....
6. I'm sorry Nicole that I told you A&W burgers were good...to my defense, I hadn't eaten there in 10 years and that was for poutine so really when I was a kid and they were the old skool restuarant style places, i swear their burgers were FANTASTIC.
7,. Speaking of burgers, my car STILL reeks of In n Out from last Friday...but so, so worth it. I don't think it was possible to go 1 hour this weekend without someone mentioning how good In N Out is...
8. Seven ate nine....
9. I think we all agree that the writers of Desperate Housewives effed up with Lynette and her new job...they really should have put in something abuot how she could no longer work for her friend's company, because as much as I know there's the comedic element to her crappy boss, we all just wonder "why doesn't she quit?".
10. Speaking of lynette...i need fabulous new work clothes, although with winter/fall kinda here at least I can start wearing my sweaters and stuff again, which is great 'cause i was getting fed up of wearing tshirts that required me to wear massively padded bras in order to make me not look like a little boy!
Alright, on to the REAL blog for the weekend....

Beat my head with a shovel to put me out of my misery please
I woke up today feeling like I was going to die. As I got ready to go to work, I had to carry a box of crackers with me everywhere I went...do you know how hard it is to blowdry your hair and eat crackers?! I crawled back into bed for a 10 minute snoozefest after I got ready, which cut in heavily into my "last minute packing for Palm Springs because I'm an idiot and I didn't pack earlier this week and why do I stay out late on school nights" time...
Breathing today is so, so painful.
Today is going to be a huge HUGE huge mix of random thoughts so if you wanted to read something with a point, this is not the place. Then again, I never have a point, so really I stand by my claim that you're all dumber for having read any of this. Go to dictionary.com and learn a new word...that'll compensate.
The song of the day is True by Ryan Cabrera which I think was already a song of the day but it was in my head this morning so suck it.
You don't know
what you do
Everytime you walk into the room
I'm afraid to move
I'm weak, it's true
I'm just scared to know the ending
Do you see me too?
Do you even know you met me?
Let's talk diamonds for a moment shall we....
Now I'll be the first chick to say that sometimes, I don't always think like a typical chick. And sure, all chicks say that, granted. But I had this thing for the longest time, I was anti chocolate and anti diamonds.
Well for some reason, after I moved to the US, i developed quite the taste for chocolate. Don't know why. Maybe it was the turning point of being a grownup, I don't know. I just know that until I was 23, I hated HATED chocolate (except for my beloved Baci...that i've always loved...but that's just 'cause it's like Nutella in a chocolate ball...mmm...NUTELLA....)...
As for diamonds....Didn't care much for them until an ex boyfriend and I walked into Birks (the Canadian answer to Tiffany's) and he announced loudly "Okay honey, but I'm not spending any more than eighteen thousand" and the sales people RAN to us (not that $18K is a lot if you WERE loaded to spend on diamonds, but this was in Rideau Center and i'm guessing not too many people announced that type of thing there). And I believe I tried on a trinity ring...and I melted...and diamonds have been my kryptonite ever since.
That being said, I own two diamonds...
1. The ring that Kraig proposed to me with...but that's really his mom's ring, I don't feel like I truly own it.
2. My engagement/wedding ring...and I was there when we picked the ring out but he secretly got a bigger stone put in than what we had discussed, which blew me away when I opened up the box later and saw the stone he put in.
Okay I guess should mention the other diamond, but it's super tiny and NOT fine quality...but my dad secretly gave me a diamond nose stud thing....he didn't want me to tell my mom, because my mom would have FLIPPED...my parents are the most strict parents on the planet, to this day they can still impose rules on me, but by virtue of having an ethnic background piercing your nose as a chick is not a sign of rebellion...so my dad was all for it, but my mom was beyond against it...I actually considred getting it done for the longest time but the scar that it leaves isn't pretty. And not that I'm vain because I think I'm some hot chick, I just think that I'm ugly enough I don't need to add to the list of items!
I would absolutely LOVE love love to have more diamonds, but I can't imagine that ever happening except maybe on my 50th wedding anniversary when the kids are out of the house and we've paid everything off and then maybe then I won't yell at Kraig if he gets me another diamond ring. I guess I figure before, when you're dating/engaged it's okay because it's not my money...but now, if Kraig got me diamonds...well it's "our" money and if I wanted a diamond, I can get one myself, and we have a thousand things we need first before I get any diamonds. Girls who need new shower doors, laminate flooring, new cabinetry don't deserve diamonds. Kraig i'm sure would disagree, but since it's "our" money....I would never ever feel like we could justify the cost, even after the car and timeshare are paid off....and he would have to listen to me bitch and complain if he ever splurged behind my back....so no more diamonds for me, sniff, until i'm 50....
On to other subjects...
I might splurge on that Coach purse.
Speaking of, I still gotta mail Syl the Coach tote/makeup-bag/whatever-you-call-it for her birthday. Dammit.
Speaking of diamonds, i gotta get my ring re-appraised because my insurance on it has to be renewed.
My hair is super dry and I need to see Henry BADLY, but I have to wait till my bangs grow out...it'll have to be after Hallowe'en, which is brutal because I cut my hair in August. Maybe I can slide it in between the 22nd and the 29th.
OMG my head is pounding....How am I gonna drink this weekend?!
