"The Claaawwww!!!"

This has been the summer of sequels. Alright, every summer is the summer of sequels, but this summer I have seen more than my fair share of them.

My latest movie experience was "Toy Story 3" and let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised. It was very cute, funny and a great ending to a memorable series.

I don't want to ruin the movie for you, so I will just suggest that you all take a rainy afternoon and treat yourself.

Monday Update

I'm thinking I will start updating once a week on Mondays.

We like Mondays, right?

The start of the work week, the end of the weekend...

Ok, we don't like Mondays.

Very bad idea, forget I said anything.

But I *do* need to update more.

I hope everyone had a fantastically patriotic 4th of July filled with grilled food, drinks and fireworks. I managed to escape the city for a few hours and head to Plainfield, IL where we drove on part of old Route 66 and nearly got lost in a cornfield. It was amusing, especially when some shouting and scolding was done in Spanish. Not at me, but at the navigator. Can anyone tell me why I didn't take Spanish classes in High School and/or college?

After several hours of food, sun and pool I found it extremely difficult to head back to work today. Unfortunately, my place of employment doesn't feel the need to observe in anyway, shape or form National Holidays. Weird, right?

One day I will have a real job.

One where customers wearing black rhinestone tank tops with blue velor pants don't come in and call a $400 purse tacky. (I wanted to hand her a mirror and tell her to take a look at herself. It was the pot calling the kettle black!!!!)

Happy summer, I hope you all enjoy the warm weather! (My friend Jerry does too!)

Eeeckk!!!!

I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goin' to the Chapel...

Ok, I first wanted to post this photo because of the awful bridesmaid dresses. I don't know where to start on them, the color, the length, or even the strapes but as I was gazing into the horror of salmon pink satin I discovered a few other things that bothered me.



1. The shoes. They all had to wear the same dress, but could wear different shoes? That makes no sense.

2. The man is wearing a matching flower! Not only are our eyes being burned by that horrid color that is found on every bridesmaid, but the poor guys also have to wear it!

3. The flower girl is PICKING her nose! Ewww...!

You seem unhappy. I like that.

I had another celebrity sighting today!!!!

It was this guy. You know, from "Scrubs"!

I am sure he thought I was crazy as I stared at him while I tried to place him. His face was so familiar!

I swear, the only thing that keeps me from going crazy at work is knowing that I could see someone famous.

Morning, Miss Alice. My watch is...

I have a new favorite movie.

Wanna guess what it is?

No?

Ok, I'll tell you then: "Bringing Up Baby" starring Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant.


OMG! It is fabulous!

Anyhow, I have been crazy busy lately. Toi visited last weekend. We had a blast. I have an awesome picture that I will share at a later time, hopefully by the end of the month.

The "alien in the carpet" story is completely true. I do have new details concerning that silly little creature: he can magically disappear with the use of a vacuum. Yep, that's right, just a vacuum makes it disappear.

I think the weird thing about the whole situation is that it has happen twice.

My mother visited this weekend. We had fun. One night she knocked over a drink, we watched the carpet suck it in incredibly fast and the next morning we vacuumed it away.

I'm sad we've found a solution. I would have loved for the Doctor to visit!

Lack of Imagination

I have seen Sex and the City 2 two times in three days. I can't see it again. Seriously, how does one end up seeing the same movies two times in three days? I'll tell you how...

First you make plans with a cousin to see in the near future. Then you go out with a friend for happy hour/dinner and it turns into a girls night out and you see the movie with her. Because you made the plans with the cousin your mother bribes you to see it again to avoid any family friction and you have to see it again.

I can't see SATC2 ever again. Not even on DVD when it eventually comes out. I've seen enough to know I've seen too much. Plus, seeing/hearing Liza Minnelli sing "Single Ladies" one more time might actually kill me.

Did you all see the Larry King interview with Lady Gaga? I feel like Lady Gaga and I could be friends or sisters. I especially related to her answers on religion:



The only thing that really bothers me about Lady Gaga is knowing that we are the same age and she has accomplished so much and I've accomplished nothing...

Anyhow, I am so excited to Toi's visit. I may actually explode. But I'll try not to. I don't think Toi would be happy picking up little pieces of me in Union Station.
