The girl who smells

Again, trying to do laundry. And we have these pre-loaded cards that were suppose to use instead of change. You use this machine to put any amount of cash on the card. Makes sense. Should be simple. Its NOT. You can't use $1, only $5 or $10. I don't have any cash people. I mean come onnnnn. I have quarters, singles, even susan b anthony's. So now I have to go to the ATM take out a $20 (u can't take anything less, obvi.) Then I will go to CVS and by something dumb so i can get some change. For real. This is why people walk around smelling. Its too much work. I wouldn't go through the effort normally, however I down to my ugliest pair of underwear. It's not looking good, folks. I just might be the girl who smells this week.

whammy. don't for a second act like these aren't in the bottom of your drawer.

I need an assistant.

To do what? Wellll I would prefer someone who can cook, clean, do some laundry, and maybe drive me places I wanna go. And it wouldn't hurt if they happened to look like the sexy studs below.

I don't even like vegetables, but i mean come onnnn.

i am 100% positive that this would persuade me to spend more time in the kitchen.

he isn't even contributing, but i don't hate it.

Really? Do guys like this exist?

he looks good doing that, no?

Sneaker freaker

i just really like this.

I wear a size 6.5 if anyone wants to buy these for me. Any of them will suffice.

Creepy Mcgee

In a recent conversation with my landlord, he called me "lil corn muffin". There are many upsetting things with this statement. One being, that is not a pet name. Two, I am not under the age of 5 where that may have been somewhat acceptable. Oye. In other news, I totally want a corn muffin now.

17 days and counting...

I am headed down to North Carolina in a few weekends for my best friend's wedding. I am honored to stand next to her as she vows to spend the rest of her life with the man of her dreams. The kind of love that they have is something I wish i could bottle up. I am overwhelmed with emotions; so happy that the two of them have found a soul-mate and also green with envy because that kind of guy is extremely rare to come by. As the days march onward I have to compose the token "maid of honor" speech. I have so many things that I want to include...however is this the type of thing that is suppose to be funny? Nostalgic? Inspiring? Any thoughts?!?! Girl is desperate.

Hot Mess Duo

Thank God these two got together to sing another song about falling in love and finding their "Baby"!! Justin, you have horrible hair, you were born in 1994, and your going to be upset when your voice changes once you hit puberty. Luda, why are you in this music video (which takes place at a bowling alley)?? I thought you were better than that. However, you both get more action than i do, so congrats...your a hot mess.

Excercise Fopaux

My complaint for today stems from my recent at the run at the park. Now I am not a hardcore exerciser, but i do own sneakers and appropriate clothes that one can comfortable run/walk in. Pretty sure I noticed a lady speed-walking in gold sparkle flats and and another couple doing squats in jeans. For real...you couldn't put on some sweats or find a pair of sneakers? Stop it.

Well said

I hope a certain someone in my life reads this, I think it is perfect for her. And for the rest of the human race.

Sooo I couldn't sleep. Clearly this is the most amazing video. Sure, its a waste of your time, but I guarantee 2 minutes in and you won't be able to stop singing it.

Fame or Fortune?

This past weekend while it was terrential down-powering in NJ, I escaped to DC for a girls weekend to celebrate my best friends bachelorette party. Aside from it being an outrageously drunken debacle with lots of laughter and copious amounts of food, we found time to get our palms read at this tiny little nook in Georgtown. For $10 I was given a very detailed description of my future.
Including:
i. I have the hands of an obnoxiously wealthy woman (minus the obnoxious part, that would be rad)
ii. I am going to be proposed to twice in the next 9 months (no thanks)
iii. I will be traveling abroad in two summers
iv. I will be blessed with two daughters and if I want a boy, I should adopt.
vi. There is a woman in my life that causes me drama, I should wash my hands of her..


She had a few other thoughts and for the most part she had pretty insightful things to say about all of us. I don't know if I believe in all of that, however it certainly left us pondering our futures for the remainder of the weekend...

Peace Up, A town Down

People love to throw the peace sign for pix. But I can't say I blame them...if only I looked half as cool as these people.

hippie peace.




creeper peace.


lame peace.


just learning peace.

old peace

Need a Post it?

Sooooooo as many of you know I share an office with quite a few people and we enjoy pranking each other just because it hilarious. J is infamous for prank calling us while were in the same room and making us answer in our "office" voice. We also constantly "pager race" other people in the department to see how long it will take them to respond to their pager. Yes, we use a stopwatch. Anyway...today I walked in to find that they transformed M's desk into a note-taking frenzy....

Pure genius. In her words: "Payback is a bitch". Let the games begin.

Walking on Sunshine

It has been beautiful outside so far this week. Even though I am stuck inside for most of the day, the warm rays of sunshine literally put me in a better mood. Everyone could use a little pep in their step. Its so nice out....it makes me want to fall in love. And then fall out because relationships are like having the bubonic plague...

and that lovely thought leads me to one of my favorite quotes from "Almost Famous":

[[i always tell the girls never take it seriously. if you never take it seriously then you never get hurt. if you never get hurt then you always have fun, and if you ever get lonely you can just go to the record store and visit your friends]]

Courtesy Call?

Morning! I have off today on a random Tuesday because I either had to use my personal day or lose it. Whomp whomp. However, I will gladly take the day to get a few random chores done. So its 9am and I just happen to be awake and Im tinkering around my living room and the doorbell rings. I open it barely because I paranoid that someone would see me in my pajamas/try to kidnap me. This really perky guy goes "Did you need an exterminator". Uhhhh pretty sure I didn't have a need. He sees the blank look on my face and goes, "You didn't call but we come once a month just to check up." FOR REALL??!?! That was the most bizarre thing ever, who does that?! A courtesy call for bugs. Even tho I am bug free I am relieved to know that someone will be back to check next month. Also, he is real lucky that I was already awake because if I was woken up to that request I would of been UPSET.

I like IKEA and IKEA likes me

I had off today and decided to make a venture to IKEA. I got lost in there for 3 hours just walking in and out of the show rooms. It was fun to pretend that I could actually afford the trendy furniture and funky color schemes. I can't wait for the day where I can furnish all of the rooms in my house and fill them with trinkets and gadets from the Swedes. For now I will just have to be pleased with my $20 coffee table that literally took 10 minutes to put together! Who needs a guy when you have a screw driver? I also bought a bunch of cheap picture frams, a cute lamp for my bedside and a tea light lantern. Minus the spilling of my drink and ramming my cart into the rump of an elderly lady, it was a successful day off shopping spree. Woo!

"Jobs are Overated"

says my discouraged friend. A and I were venting about how it would be wonderful to just pick up and leave our jobs and our current stressful/lame/boring lives. How about going to this serene B&B in New Zealand and working in the garden or kitchen? In exchange you get to live there for free. Or how about a bonsai tree farm in Maui, or a horse ranch in Denmark?! Honestly, I think that sounds fantastic. Being able to be in a completely new place, where no one knows you and do a little work and then have the rest of the time to explore, THAT sounds next to wonderful. I would have a purpose but also not have the dreaded feeling of "going to work". I know there are a ton of organizations that set-up and promote this type of life-style. Not only does it promote cultural awareness but it is rather economical. I even read about a horse farm in Denmark, I would even do that and I don't even LIKE horses.

Stanky Feet Complaint

To whom it may concern: if the people surrounding you are making a miserable face like they smell something awful, chances are it could be you. If other people smell your rancid foot odor, you should probably acknowledge it as well and buy some Gold Bond. Or just wash your feet. Or change your socks... Please and thank you.

i bet these feet do not have any stank....
