we've got a lot to cover here

I really need to be better about posting over the weekend, so that I can avoid one big one on Sunday night. But that would mean that I would have to slow down L-I-V-I-N.

In case you were wondering, 17 Again is wonderfully amazing. It is also the best old person turning young and learning a life lesson movie ever. Especially because it takes the hotness of Zac Efron, and the humor of Matthew Perry and creates my dream man. Sigh. Yes, I am 26. Get off it. :P

Added bonus: this kid at the movie theater totally looked like him. Having no shame, I totally snapped a picture:



On Saturday- I was opened to a whole new world- Guitar Hero. I know, most people have been exposed to this much earlier. I have no excuse. But- I want to let you know, that I am the best Bass player in the world . I play in the band Jock Strap and the Elastic Waistband... but since that doens't fit well on posters, we go by Jock Strap.

Watched Quarantine today. Totally creepy. Basically- this film crew is following some firemen and they end up at a random call in an apartment building. After finding a freaky old lady gone bonkers, all of the residents, the camera crew, the cops and firmen get locked into the building. Some crazy version of rabies is being spread. I watched Family Guy to try to make things better, but then had to go home to a dark and empty house... with a cat that may or may not have had rabies.

Just a little taste of the weekend. Gonna watch Tough Love before bed. When I wake up, it's Monday. Joy.

single ladies, all the single ladies

So, there are times when it is really enjoyable to be a single (tax definition- unmarried) lady in her mid twenties. Last night was one of those times. After a great off-site meeting, I stopped by Albertson's. Not my normal shopping place, but it was on the way home. Got some great deals, including a new bottle of wine to try. It had the name Three Blind Moose , and was on major sale- so why the hell not? After rearranging my grocery bags in the parking lot (apparently Marcus has never actually bought his own groceries, and did not realize that throwing a few boxes on top of a package of chicken could lead to a disastrous situation) I got home and was suddenly motivated to clean out the fridge and cupboards. Then, since roomie was at her gym/dinner date with her mom- I made tuna. One of my favorites, but makes the roomie sick. I watched HIMYM , since I have given up on Dancing With the Stars . And then popped open my bottle of wine and started a new book . It was great. No babies asking for crap. No husbands trying to watch something lame on ESPN Classic (I love sports but I cannot understand that station). Just me, some vino and a book. Rad.

better than expected is always good

I thought this weekend was going to be a little bit of a cluster bomb, but it ended up being pretty fun. Hung out with the sisters and our sister soul mates, the O'Briens the other night. After Arizona lost, boo, we ate a bunch of crap and watched movies. Girls nights are a necessity.

On Saturday, I went to my parents and chilled by the pool. I miss that backyard. Chillin by the pool is rad, and it gave me some time to read my book club book that I have to finish by Wednesday. Yes, I am a big loser face, and I go to book club. I am old. That night the ladies of the fam went to my cousin's "personal bridal shower." Oh, estrogen. The boys (including Joey) were at my parents' house playing poker. I was mad jealous.

On Sunday, Joey and I took a random drive into Cave Creek. He wanted to go to this sports bar that has this amazing cheeseburger. But there were too many bikers, and I didn't think I could pass with my pearl earrings, and cardigan. It was Standing Room Only too. So we went to this really great Mexican food place instead. The experience wasn't as great as the last time we were there, because we were eating at the bar instead of a romantic lakeside view. ;) We probably also missed our Al Sharpton duck that was there with his fro last time. On the way out of Cave Creek, we decided to stop at this place called "The Town Dump." This place was crazy. I just thought there was a bunch of crap inside, but there was at least an acre of outside crap. Apparently Joey wanted to but an Armor Knight's suit and I crushed his dream. Sorry, it was creepy. That place was full of creepy things, and I felt like I was in an episode of Supernatural. Here is an example:


creeeeepy.

We drove around some more, ran some errands, and hung out atmy place. It was one of those giggly fun, reconnect when the world has been crazy, remember that you are totally mushy in love weekends. I think we needed that. (vomitting upons reading this is totally ok).

After a weekend like that, Monday just kinda sucks by comparison. So, I got reallllllly a.d.d. Surprised I didn't write this there. ;)
