Happy Gilmore

So this was me today when I got home from a long day at work...well not really because I went to a pretty cool workshop all day where they had an open bar at cocktail hour at the end (though I was driving so I couldn't partake-but the thought made me happy), but I was prepared to come home and figure out what I was eating for dinner...and then this came. Yes Folks, Gilmore Girls Season Seven...and my frown turned upside down. It is sad but true, but I am addicted. Everyone wants to be a Gilmore. Let's just say I know what I'm going to be doing this Thanksgiving.

To John Mark

Calling You
Blue October

There's something that i cant quite explain
i'm so in love with you
you'll never take that away

and if i said a hundred times before
expect a thousand more
you never take that away

well expect me to be
calling you to see
if you're ok when i'm not around
asking if you love me
i love the way you make it sound
calling you to see
do i try too hard to make you smile
to make a smile

well i will keep calling you to see
if you're sleepin'

are you dreamin' and
if you're dreamin' are you dreamin' of me
i cant believe
you actually picked...me

i thought that the world had lost its sway
(its so hard sometimes)
then i fell in love with you
(then came you)
and you took that away
(its not so difficult, the world is not so difficult)
you take away the old
show me the new
and i feel like i can fly
when i stand next to you
so what if I'm on this phone
a hundred miles from home
i take the words you gave
and send them back to you

i only want to see
if you're ok when i'm not around
asking if you love me
i love the way you make it sound
calling you to see
do i try too hard to make you smile
to make a smile

i will keep calling you to see
if you're sleepin' are you dreamin' and
if you're dreamin' are you dreamin' of me
i cant believe
you actually picked...me

well i will keep calling you to see
if you're sleepin' are you dreamin' and
if you're dreamin' are you dreamin' of me
i cant believe
you actually picked...me

i will keep calling you to see
if you're sleepin' are you dreamin' and
if you're dreamin' are you dreamin' of me
i cant believe
you actually picked...me

Another Exciting Day

Well I am a little behind on my daily postings, but I'm not sure it really matters because I'm not sure anyone reads these things. I guess that means I can say whatever I want and it won't get back to anyone. Well...that probably isn't quite true.

Let's see. We had a busy morning at work, but the afternoon slowed down quite a bit. I was just glad it was Friday. We went to eat dinner at my sister-in-law's house. I had a sandwich from Panera Bread and everyone else had lasagna. So yeah it pretty much sucks to be me since I cannot have the delectable Italian cuisine. They also had chocolate cake, which I couldn't eat either, but at least I could have the vanilla icecream.

Tomorrow is Saturday. I have a lot of running to do and catching up from a busy week in house work (wait, what is that?) It is kind of funny that I thought when I got married I would have a pristine sparkly clean house, but then the real world happened. It's not a dump, but I don't remember the last time we vaccumed or dusted. We have vacuumed more than we have dusted though.

Well I had better close this because I don't have anything else to say right now, but there may be a more though provoking entry tomorrow it I take the time to do what was on my mind at 7:30 this morning.

So What About the Cat

Anyone who has an animal knows that they are pretty much like a child. You have to feed them and pet them and pay attention to them or else you get the cold shoulder (although in some ways I might have just described your spouse). In a way yes they are just an animal...but on the other hand they are a part of the family. I will find myself asking JM at lunch or IMing him at work (don't tell my boss!) "Did you feed the cat?" When you think about it what would you do if you didn't feed the cat? It's not like you could call in sick so you could go home and feed the cat...and cats are pretty self sufficient that they could survive without one meal. So why do you even ask yourself these questions. Honestly I'm not sure, but I know it will be a very sad day when my cat dies. I have had her since I was 16. She is a pretty healthy 11 year old cat. I actually told JM that we would definitely be getting another cat within a week after Toto dies. It is kind of like when you have an old grandparent and you are waiting for them to kick the bucket, but you can't replace your grandparents. I am not trying to be morbid, but if you have experience three of your grandparent's deaths in the past six years you would understand. Still it will be a sad day. Poor Kitty.

Daily Grind

Back to the daily grind today. I can't believe Thanksgiving is in two weeks!! Actually my vacation is in nine working days. Wahoo!! Not much happened today. We were pretty busy and my back still hurts a little bit. Which is why I am keeping it short. I am about to go lay on the couch until it is time to go to bed. I'm such a lazy bum!!

P.S. If someone could help me to put my freakin' frackin' pic on here I would be very appreciative. I am not vain (well maybe a little), but I just like how everyone else has a cool picture and I always get errors.

Black Dahlia...Not for the Faint at Heart

I watched the Black Dahlia last night...alone in my bedroom. It is a good movie and love Scarlett Johanssen, but it is freakin' creepy/scarey. It was about the grusome murder of a lesbian in the 1930s or 40s. Anyway, I had nightmares all night (not really about that subject) and I am tired today. I am also sore, but I think that has more to do with the pulled back muscle than anything. Well I'd better go. I should be getting ready for church so I feel like I should be reading my Bible or something rather than writing blogs on the internet. Whatever.

Pulled Back Muscle and a Star Award

Today was a very interesting day of sorts.

The first thing of the day was that I decided to fix my hair at work. I do that a lot because I let me hair air dry and sometimes it is still a little damp when I leave in the morning. I had my head down with my hair hanging down (you know what I mean) and I sprayed my hair and scrunched it-just like I do every day. When I was done and flung my head back...ouch what was that. Yes that's right folks, I pulled a back muscle. I could feel my spine ache when I moved my head back and forth and my chest hurt too. I went to the break room and sat down. I called John Mark to tell him what I did and then hung up the phone. Ten seconds later I felt faint. I am not a fainting girl, but I started feeling hot and sweaty and dizzy. I called John Mark again and asked him to come to the break room. I seriously thought I was going to have to go home for the day. I didn't eat breakfast this morning (I usually eat it when I get to work), so I ate some cereal and felt a little better. It took about 15 to 20 minutes for me to feel like myself, but I felt a little better after that. It was pretty freaky. I feel much better now, but I am currently watching "Ugly Betty" with frozen corn on my back.

That wasn't the only surprise I got today. At about 1:30 my manager, supervisor, and a couple of other managers and supervisors came to my desk asking if I could "join" them. I stood there and waited awkwardly for them to tell me what this was about. Several of my phone reps came over and we all stood there. My manager presented me with the North Star Award for an enhancement I proposed to the system we use that was actually approved by corporate. He read all of these nice things about me and gave me a leter that said I woud have a big fat bonus on my next paycheck. This is one of the most coveted awards at my place of employment. I have been wanting once since I started there four years ago, but this is the first time I have received one. Needless to say, I was pretty darn happy. We actually went out to J. Alexander's for dinner to celebrate.

In the end it turned out to be a pretty darn good day...even though my back hurts at least I am standing a little taller (if that's at all possible.)
