In The Land of Women

For some reason, I want to see this movie. Maybe it's my crush on Adam Brody. Must be, because it sure ain't to see Meg Ryan's funked up face.

Hello Kitty Hell

I just found this site: Hello Kitty Hell. It's this guy who lives in Japan and his wife buys Hello Kitty stuff, just like me. I believe I would be just as bad as his wife, if I lived in Japan. Oh my god. That would be the coolest. I only have a few things that I posts, but I want them all!
If you wanna see my stuff, you can check it out here. I haven't updated it lately. I need to do that soon.

American Idol

I haven't been watching it this season. Just off and on. I have been following it, so I am in the loop. I recorded last nights episode and watched it today. I recorded it to see Gwen Stefani. I have a girl crush on her. She looked so pretty without the red lips. I pretty much agreed with Simon on the critiques. I liked Blake this week. He annoyed me with the beat boxing and dancing. This week, he just sang and it was a good song. I also loved Jordin, for the same reasons my sister does. Big ups to Glendale, AZ!! Also, she wore this:
it costs $2900! sooooo jealous. How can I not support her? And then on tonight's episode, Gwen was awesome. I love that song. I agreed with that Chris dude getting kicked off. Novelties like him don't last long, unless you are Sanjaya. I choose to not participate in that madness.

thanks dad

My dad asked me today to go to a preseason game with him on Thursday. That was nice of him! I am looking forward to it!

today

What a day! I am glad that it's over. It was very strange and long. Good, but strange. The morning started with getting up early (went to bed at 1am, got up at 7:30am) and waiting for the Maytag repair man to come to fix the dishwasher. My original plan for today was go to my parents house, spend the day with my mom and go out to dinner tonight. But since the drama with the dishwasher, my plans were altered a bit. Not much, thank goodness. Here's the back story on the dishwasher: Our dishwasher was making a really loud noise. We have one of those extra quiet ones and it was not quiet at all. So, Chris called the repair man. On the 8th, he came out and told us we need a new motor. He said that he could come back the next week to replace it. The motor was still under warranty, so all we had to pay for was labor. So we were ok with that. Then the next week rolls around and they called us the day they were to come out and said that they didn't have the motor yet and would come the next week (yesterday). Annoying, but ok. So the guy comes yesterday and starts taking the dishwasher apart. He then realizes that he can't get to part of the motor unless the dishwasher is pulled out from under the counter. Problem with that is, he won't pull it out. He said that he couldn't risk damaging our tile. Have you seen our tile? We don't really care if it gets damaged. It's like 40 years old and falling apart all on its own. But he still refused to pull it out from the wall. He left and the dishwasher was all torn apart. He said that he would check with dispatch and maybe be able to come back tomorrow (today). That's how he left it. So we didn't even know if he would come back today. Stupid. Last night Chris pulled the dishwasher out and didn't damage the tile or anything. Duh. Then this morning, they called and said he would be here between 8-10am. Great. I can wait at home for him and then leave for my parents when he is done. Not a big change in my plans, just a delay. He comes around 9am and installs the new motor. What I have failed to mention is the fact that this repair man is old as dirt. Seriously. He has to be in his 70's. Chris keeps calling him the original Maytag man. He has that shaky handwriting. I can't believe his is doing this job. I feel really bad every time he would get on his knees to work on the dishwasher. I was afraid he would not be able to get back up. He always did, so good for him. But still. So today, he cut his hand. He was bleeding really bad. There was blood all over the floor. He cleaned up a lot of it himself, but missed a bunch. After he left, I carefully cleaned up all that I could reach. There is some still under the dishwasher that we won't be able to get to until we move the dishwasher back. Lovely!!!! Bottom line is it is quiet now. There is still one problem. When he left, he left it still out from the wall. Apparently they can't put them back either. Also, there are more screws out then Chris had originally taken out to move it from the wall. Now Chris has to figure out where those mystery screws go. So that whole mess was fun. After the dishwasher guy left, I went over to my parents. My mom and I went out to lunch and then went to downtown Glendale. We went to some
antique shops. In one shop, I found this vintage dress (in the photo to the right). It was a custom made dress and jacket from Hong Kong. It was only $22. If I was skinny, I would have bought this in a heart beat. In fact, I would be a total vintage store shopper and have lots of cool clothes. Oh well. Maybe one day. That's a whole other blog post. Anyway, I didn't buy anything, but we had lots of fun. My mom found some cute things for her house. She is more into country stuff and those stores sell a lot of that. After all the shopping, I came home and changed my clothes to go to dinner. I got together with some girlfriends from high school. We went here. A couple months ago, we randomly got together and decided to make it a regular occasion. One of the girls decided that her new years resolution was to reconnect with old friends. It was nice the first time and nice today. I dread them, but end up enjoying myself. We just spend hours talking and tonight there were 3 more people then last time, so there was some catching up to do. Today was a really long day. I am way tired and that is enough rambling.

Unnecessary Censorship

I love this bit on Jimmy Kimmel. It cracks my shit up!
This is a best of clip:

Hilarious!

woo hoo!

Census: Phoenix nations 5th-largest city

We are awesome! Awesomely huge. Ahhhhh, suburban sprawl. Gotta love it.

MISSING!

I found this on John Mayer won't date no FAT GIRL blog. She's hilarious!
It's true though. It seems that since he has been with Jessica, he doesn't have the time for the things he used to do. I guess that happens in any relationship, but it still sucks.

guilty pleasures

I have caught myself watching some craptacular shows lately. So I have decided to reveal my television show guilty pleasures. The top of the list used to be The Hills, but since Heidi refuses to break up with Spencer, I refuse to watch it anymore. So, the current shows are Girls Next Door and I Love New York. I know. I know. I call them guilty pleasures, because I am embarrassed that I watch them. I love them, but won't admit to it until now. A new season of Girls Next Door just started, but I Love New York is almost over. She better pick Tango! So, I admitted to mine... now its your turn. Comment away people.

Happy 1st Day of Spring

It was a comfortable 80 degrees here today. This after the 99 degree weather last week, so 80 is nice! It has been spring here for over a month, but I hope that it is lovely where you are. Enjoy.

Grand Canyon Skywalk

This new skywalk opened today. It's a big deal around these parts. But all I can say is there is no way I'm getting out on that thing! That's 4000 feet down. I'm not crazy.

what did you eat for dinner?

I ate a bowl full of kiwi.

yeah... I keep telling you I'm weird.

taxes = done

I just finished our taxes. They are pretty simple. It was just a matter of getting everything together. I use taxslayer. I have used this online for like 4 years and never had any problems. I am happy to say that we are finally satisfied with our refunds this year. In past years we got barely anything, but this year we are getting a nice chunk back. So it really wasn't painful and it has a positive outcome. I am just glad that they are done.

this is crazy

My neighbors are having party. These are the same neighbors that just put up a fence. They had a Tigger bounce house and I thought that was fun. But about an hour ago, this truck showed up and it was full of animals. Seriously. I had to get the camera so that people would believe me. They set up a little petting zoo. There is a horse, a mule, a llama, some goats, a pig, a baby cow, some bunnies and some chickens. I keep thinking that this party must be for something more than just St Patrick's Day. It must be someones birthday or something. I am also thinking that maybe they recently came into some money. First a fence (They are not cheap. We are needing to get one in the backyard, so we know this.) and now this insane party. I was outside watching all this when the pig got free and came across the street. It went in my next door neighbors yard and they chased it down. The lady told me she would sell me the pig because it was driving her crazy. It was fun to watch all the chaos. But after they unloaded all the animals, they closed the gate. Boo. I was enjoying watching the party. I wanted to go over and join in. I am jealous. Since I have no life, I live vicariously thru my neighbors.

edited to add: When they were packing the animals up to leave, the mule got free! It was so entertaining. It started running down the street and for a minute, they all just stood there watching it. Then the lady who brought the animals started calling it by its name and whistling. I don't know how she thought that would work. She finally went running after it. I don't know how far it got, but it was over 10 minutes before she came back with it. Hilarious!!

you better be wearing green!

Enjoy this in honor of the day...

song in my head 03/16/07

It's a really fun song. Gwen rules. Have I mentioned that I have Tick Tock Gwen? Still in the box. Anyway. It's been in my head all day.
Plus, I really like the way Akon sings.

ticket drama

I am trying to convince myself that the seats I got are ok. I hate to admit that I am a total idiot and bought the wrong seats. Oh - back story... John Mayer tickets went on pre-sale today. I had two windows open while trying to get good seats. I pulled some non floor seats, but very close and kept them in the shopping cart. Then in the other browser, I pulled 4th row on the floor! I was so excited. But I ended up purchasing the first tickets I pulled and lost out on the floor seats. I should have closed the other browser, but I didn't and was so excited that I made the mistake. I had told myself that if I pulled any floor seats from row 1-4, I would buy them. Any floor seats further back make it too difficult for me to see. The seats I did end up getting are just to the left of the floor seats in the 3rd row. They are on the far left side of the stage, at an angle. Lemme see if I can get the seating chart...
The star in section 103 are the seats I bought and the star in section CCC would have been the 4th row ones. So it really is not that bad, it really isn't. At least I will be able to see over people's heads. The other problem is that they will not let you buy or even try to see what is available, for 60 mintutes. So I can't even try to get better tickets. I will check again later, but I don't know if I want to have the stress of trying to sell the other tickets, like I had last time. By "last time" I mean, I bought 2 pairs of tickets, because I kept telling myself that if I checked again I could better seats. I ended up selling one pair on ebay. I didn't make any profit on it, because I just wanted to make sure I made my money back. I was paranoid. I don't want to have to deal with that this time, so I am trying be to satisified with just going to the show and not be far away. My seats are good. My seats are good.

edited to add: oh my god! I did it! I looked again. I couldn't help myself. I should have been satisfied. But - HOLY CRAP!!! - I JUST GOT 2ND ROW IN SECTION CCC. Those are even better than the first ones I lost! I bought them. I did. Now I gotta try to sell the others. I doubt I will have any problems, since the others are such good seats. I am such a freak!
BUT I HAVE 2ND ROW SEATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
