Third. Fourth. Fifth.

This weekend yielded a lot:

Tasty hot dogs on the 4th.

Lots of pool time.

Shopping. –Excuse me whilst I rant about my experience at Express today. I had a coupon for $20 of f$60 or $30 off $90. I chose to purchase a kick ass pair of Editors (in a new color!) But of course a sales rep HAD to help me find my size. Um, I am capable of finding my own size of pants without disrupting your display of perfectly folded pants. Good Lord.

ALSO, I really dont need a knock at at the dressing room door: Miss, are you set with size-ezzz? (Thats how she said it:SIZE-EZZ [this bitch should really be working at Hollister, Im just saying) –Anyway,  JESUS CHRIST, she scared the effing shit out of me! Im half naked trying on pants. NO, I really dont need your help. Especially after telling you I know my size and style and Im all set.

AND, for real, if I give you my coupon for twenty bucks off sixty, and YOU tell me if I spend another thirty Ill get thirty off. Wait, what? C’mon, seriously?

Oh and while Im at it… really no need to offer me your apply now for an Express card and score 15% off your purchase. Good lord!

Ok, I feel better.

The neighborhood fireworks are still going off. THANKS NEIGHBORS! I especially enjoyed the loud BOOM BOOM at 3AM. It really rustled the dogs up, and my poor heart, their damn lucky I dont have a heart condition bitches!

This week we will be enjoying a tasty burger at Bobby Flays BURGER PALACE. Im stoked. G-d, I love food.

J just ordering up a killer, sick, omg whoa, get the hell outta here FAST ASS desktop computer, Im really excited for her. Um, that sentance prior just made me sound like I was 14 years old.

J’s dad came and mowed our lawn this AM, and helped us reconfigure the basketball hoop @ the pool. Lawn looks great, basketball hoop looks better!

Today.

1. POOL TIME. Got some good color. Nice.
2. We highlighted/touched up my hair last night, looks fab, –Thanks Mich!
3. J and I fell in love with watching ROSEANNE reruns…again.
4. Realized we never saw SLINGBLADE. We watched. “Mmmm”.
5. The fireworks are out of control in the neighborhoods. Neo and Maddie have been panting for an hour. Nothing, NOTHING will help them calm down. Seriously the neighborhoods sound like war torn Afghanistan.
6. Have a MILD interest in seeing: BRUNO. Any thoughts?

Things. You. Can. Count. On.

1. A Fla-vor-Ice making you cough.

Unreal.

I have learnt silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers.

- Kahlil Gibran

This is pretty much how Ive felt the entire day @ work.

Also, Im pretty fucking pissed I HAVE but no choice to work my birthday in August. My G-d damn 30th birthday.

Im angry, and bitter today.

Constant. Playlist. This. Week.

1. Gypsy: Fleetwood Mac
2. Everywhere: Fleetwood Mac
3. Meet Me Halfway: Black Eyed Peas
4. All I Have: Matt Kearney
5. Two Step: DMB

Bed. Cave.

I walked into the bedroom last night and found this bed cave.

The comforter bound up and crunched up making a pretty perfect cave.

Neo AKA: Monkey, the youngest of the chihuahuas has a very CUTE habit of making bed caves to snuggle in with.

Not only does he do this on the bed, but he also does this on the couch, and with anything he can GET himself under.

Our typical reply to this is: OH MONKEY!

Shoez.

They’re so ugly I simply cannot show you them in their entirety. This is an absolute sure sign that I am getting old. I might as well be wearing AEROSOLES or EASY SPIRIT, getting my hair permed, and wearing Charlie Red. Ok maybe NOT that bad, but I literally found myself walking around the shoe store saying: Hmm, those look like they’ll cram my toes and hurt my back.

Oh well, a set of manicured toes and my Express Editors will glam these babies up a ton. :)

In. My. Head.

Pool.

The pool was amazing today.

Im burnt.

Im finally getting some good color.

Even better I got to wear my new aviators in the pool.

Double score.

Crumbs.

1. Salsa? Why yes, please!
2. It hailed and rained all day today. WTF?
3. Ive been going into work for 7AM all week. I want to cry Im so tired.
4. Maddies lump doesnt seem to be getting any better with the antibiotics.
5. Today, I picked up some new contacts. Ive been having tons of trouble with my old contacts, um which I havent worn in nearly 9 months.
6. J, Mich and I finished the series: Band Of Brothers this evening. It was really really good. When I first heard about this series back in 2001, I swear, I thought the series was about a group of men who worked in coal mines in Louisiana. I swear 100% THATS what I thought. -Well, for those of you that dont know…its a ten-part World War II television miniseries.
7. We are now about to get into Generation Kill,–another war miniseries.
8. Our DVD player shit the bed yesterday, so as a “in the meanwhile” we bought an inexpensive HDMI Magnavox which is a pretty big piece of shit.
9. Did I mention already, I want SALSA in my mouth, PRONTO?
10. J and I have The Heartbreak Kid on in the background right now, and its PRETTY fucking lame. Im just saying. Ben Stiller has NOT aged well. He totally should shell out $5.00 and grab a box of Just For Men in 5 minutes! –Not kidding, his grey is not becoming.
11. And because everyone else is making BAD Michael Jackson jokes, Ill do my part:  here’s a tame one: Turns out Michael Jackson’s heart couldnt BEAT IT.
