Who Lied ...

about Tatiana on American Idol?

I cannot handle her!

Very annoying!

Good or Bad, Happy or Sad ...

Next to Jennifer Hudson ... who was AMAZING ... this was my fav part of the Grammys. Love this song and still carry that little torch for Justin T. (it's been that way since MMC )

enjoy ...

(skip to 1:33 for the music...)

Fishs Eddy ...

I bought these off a site

that I love.

They are so cute and have a 

fun vintage feel.

Plus, they don't stain like Tupperware ...

and they're prettier.

I think I will buy this next ...

especially since I have decided to start collecting 

cake stands.


And I need to buy this ...

I can already see it filled with flowers

sitting on my table.

Holy Cute!

I love this new site!

So much cute stuff ...

I just bought myself one of these.

How cute are they?!? 

I can't stand it.

Apology to Dustin the Target Check Out Guy ...

Today was a hard day.

By the time I left work I was feeling VERY overwhelmed with many circumstances in my life ...

and started sobbing uncontrollably.

I had to run to Target before heading home.

I sat in the parking lot for a few minutes trying to control the tears and to get a grip on my life.

Surely I could control the tears and frustration long enough to run into Target for toothpaste and shaving cream.

I made it through the store and into the line...

Only to meet Dustin ...

the nice, sweet check out kid.

(who looked a lot like the above photo)

Dustin asked me how my day was ...

and I lost it.

Yep, that is right.

I started sobbing right there in the express lane.

Poor Dustin didn't know what to do with himself.

I mumbled out an apology as I quickly signed my credit card slip.

Poor kid, 

I'm pretty sure I cured him of ever asking anyone about their day ever again.

Dustin,

I apologize for blubbering in your lane.

I hope you had a better day than I.

Who Lied?

This is the dialogue from a phone call I received at work last week.

Me: How can I help you?

Caller: Um ... my boyfriend has a really bad toothache and wants to have his tooth pulled. How much will it cost?

Me: It will be about X amount of dollars.

Caller: WHAT?!? We can't afford that ... what should we do? 

Me: You can try the Medicaid office and see if they can help you.

Caller: We can't wait for that. I have been trying to pull out the tooth with a pair of pliers for the last 2 hours, but I can't get a good enough grip. Should I do something different?

Me: (shocked silence) ....  Um, maybe you should stop trying to pull it out and seek some professional help.

Caller: Whatever. I'm going to keep trying. 

Then she hung up on me. 

Why would you try to pull out your boyfriends tooth? 

Who lied?!!

Butterfly In The Sky ...

Another one of my goals for 2009 is to make more time for reading.

I LOVE to read, but have not had as much time lately, and I realize that I have missed it.

So, I decided to read a few of my old favs to get myself going.

Oddly, enough many of them are books I read back in high school. 

I had some amazing English teachers in high school, and because of that I grew to love many of the books that I read while in their classes.

Last week I finished my first "old classic" for 2009.

(Don't worry that I am in the middle of 3 other books right now as well. I like to read a bunch at once.)

Ethan Frome.

I love it. 

Such a tragic and haunting story.

I also love the movie with Liam Neeson.

I am waiting for Netflix to deliver it.
