Today started off fine. Not wonderful, but not bad either. Just fine. I woke up feeling as though I had gotten enough sleep and even layed in bed a few minutes before my alarm went off with the weight of Cali’s head on my feet. I let myself thoroughly enjoy the feeling of her head slightly moving as she licked her gums and making that wierd sound she makes when separating her lips from her teeth.
Ryan took me to see Iron Man on Saturday night at our local movie theatre. We went to the 9:30pm showtime and still had to wait in line to get in, which I totally love. I am a big fan of watching a great summer movie with a ton of people. The overall reaction and enjoyment is enhanced when everyone is into it as much as you are. We got into the auditorium 30 minutes before the lights when down, the previews came up and that is when Will Smith walked in with his son.
We noticed the back row taped off while waiting for the movie to start and Ryan and I were both wondering why Howie Mandel (also in the theatre with us) would be able to get the row behind him tapped off. Maybe he has a thing about people sitting and talking behind him when he’s trying to enjoy a movie? But that was not the case. I guess if you are Will Smith and essentially the biggest movie star in the world right now, you can get whatever you want.
I was finally able to watch my tivo’d copy of The Bachelor last night. Shayne, Amanda (meeps), and Chelsea were in Barbados with Matt and he got to have really long, one-on-one, overnight dates with all three women. The day-time part of the dates were spent either on the beach, in the water, or zip-lining through the tropical forests. When watching this episode where all four of them are secluded on an island, you always wonder if the Bachelor is getting lucky with all three women.
After much debate, I have decided to share a link with all of you that quite vividly demonstrates Mr. Beckham and his fit footballer bod. I feel like I have to share it with more people than just my mother: click here.
Now tell me, is he not the finest thing you have seen today? I was almost embarrassed to be looking at this Emporio Armani ad in the May edition of Elle that I was perusing at lunch while eating left-over pizza. My first instinct (which I did act upon) was the rip the page out of the magazine so I could study it closely. Then I went to my computer and Googled “armani” and “david beckham” to get the full experience.
I am the only one I know that has such vivid dreams. My emotions are always deeply embedded in these dreams and I can easily remember every single detail when I wake up. Sometimes the dreams are so good that I feel incredibly happy when I get out of bed and can not stop thinking about everything that happened in my head while I was sleeping.
Other dreams are more like nightmares and I wake up in a sweat or frozen, unable to move an inch because fear has wrapped itself around my body.
Ryan has season tickets to the LA Galaxy. He got them after discovering that David Beckham would be moving to Los Angeles to play on the team. Ryan has 2 seats and he shares the tickets with a friend of his. They split up the games over the course of the season and sometimes go together, but this Saturday is my day to go with Ryan. He is excited to take me and show me where their seats have moved to since last year. They were in a good spot before, about 8 rows up from the field toward the goal line. I went to a few games last season and had fun watching the games, but Beckham was injured so we only saw him riding the pine. But this season will be great because Beckham is fit and Posh is in the stands. Believe it or not, my hairstyle was NOT inspired by this Spice Girl. But I think that if we met, we would be the best of friends.
Back to the street
Down to our feet
Losing the feeling of feeling unique
Do you know what I mean?
Back to the place
Where we used to say
Man it feels good to feel this way
Now I know what I mean
Back to the street, back to the place,
Back to the room where it all began…
-Panic! At the Disco
“Nine In the Afternoon”
Last night I watched my Tivo’d copy of the Bachelor that aired Monday night and I was squealing with laughter when the fourth hometown date involved the girl, Amanda (aka “meeps”) hiring actors to play her parents. The fake parents were totally over the top with the Bachelor, Matt, and he was so embarrassed when the fake mom started to rub his nipple and kiss him all over. But even worse, the fake dad was mad at Matt for coming on to the fake mom! You should have seen Matt’s face, he was so flushed! Matt was trying so hard to prove to Amanda’s family that he was a good guy and they made it impossible for him to do that. But Amanda unveiled the prank when she feared it had gone too far and I think he genuinely liked the fact that she played a trick on him. You can tell that Matt is an easy going guy. If he was not so laid back and fun, he would not have given Amanda a rose at the end of the show.
You all know by now that I am a huge fan of food, especially sweets. One of my most frequented candy when in college was Sour Patch Kids, which I have just decided to call SPK. They always filled me up in between classes or late at night, were inexpensive and had 0g of fat. Sometimes I would chew a few, then I would switch to sucking off the sour sugary coating and succeeding in getting the gummy stuck in every crevice between my teeth. And if I was in the mood for something wild and crazy, I would wash them down with some Sprite and it was like the fizz would have a chemical reaction with the sweet/sour gummies.
I have worked in a couple of very different work office environments since graduating from college. I was an assistant for a short four month stint in a professional office setting and dressed very professionally everyday in suits, slacks and silk. Then I worked as a customer service representative in a warehouse-type-office environment and never saw any customers or clients, as business was all done over the phone or email. Here I dressed in jeans, t-shirts and sneakers.
This phrase makes me think of drinking my breakfast each morning when I was younger.
Carnation Instant Breakfast! You’re gonna love it in an instant!
I was a sucker for the chocolate or mocha flavors (of course) and I even had this bottle specially made for mixing, shaking-up, and drinking this instant breakfast. It had a pop-off, blue top and measurements on the side.
Sometimes I like running the show: being in charge of something and having people ask my permission and present things to me. A year ago, I actually had a staff of 13 people at one point. I had my moments when I truly enjoyed calling the shots. These days I am just a peon and do not boss anyone around, except Ryan and Cali, but even then those two get their way now and then.
