clip it

Well, this one isn't going to have a lot of substance, but I HAVE to post this video clip. Its one of my favorites, its from The Breakup with Jennifer Aniston/Vince Vaughn. I just love repeating it! Well I can't figure out how to save the video to my computer then post it here, so just go to this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na70-2wv79A
Hopefully that works and makes a lot of laughs! :)

And that is all! until next time! :)



So, these pictures are for my best friend Natasha. They are from the Republican National Convention that was here in Minnesota. The Protestors were really annoying, but I really like some of the pictures I captured--the dog and the cops to be exact!

ouch

This week seems to be going way too slow already. I want it to be Friday RIGHT NOW. That would be so nice. It would also be Halloween, not that I have anything fun planned yet, but just thought I'd kindly point that out.

So yesterday at work, FedEx work, I kept hurting myself (on accident of course!!). I was hurting a lot. But today I did just fine and seemed to come out alive and no new major injuries, besides the normal bruises. I walked into this hook thing that was sticking out, it hurt really bad, left a bad bruise, but no worries I didn't mind.

The real bad news is how cold the weather was today!! It was like 30 all day, or at least I think it was about that. I really don't want anymore of it! YUCK! The other bad news is how many people support Obama. I do not like that man, no way. I really don't like his supporters, so many of them are such ignorant losers that don't like to bathe. I just don't like them and don't have the time to go into all the many reasons why. I don't necessarily like McCain too much either, but he is the better of the two by many counts. His supporters are way better as well, such a nicer group of people--once again I don't have the time to go into all the many reasons why Republicans rock. hahahahahahaha.

Well something on television is talking about some kind of luau, not sure the details, but I want to throw in the Hawaiian fish name, because I love it. Well really I love the hula dance that goes with the fish's name that was being taught on the whale cruise thing I was on when I was in Hawaii. I may not spell it right, but the fish's name is: humuhumunukunukuapua'a. I think that is pretty darn close to the right spelling. Sound it out! humu, humu, nuku, nuku, apu, ah, ah. Thats you sounding it out, if by chance you were wondering.

So I want a vacation and I want it now! I wish. That would be so nice if I got to go somewhere for a couple weeks, or just have some time off from work. That would be really freaking amazing! But better luck after the x-mas season probably. Who knows!

I am really excited for Nov 20th though! Going to Fogo de Chao. I think that's almost how its spelled. It is a Brazilian restaurant, they have them in Brazil actually, and all over the world, one of them being in Minneapolis!! That's where I will be going. I cannot wait. Anyhow, I will let you know how that goes. It is at least the plan for now.

Now, my real thought: why do Hawaiians love SPAM so much???? Just a question! My brother in law Makaala is a SPAM lover. SPAM is a Minnesota product, Austin, Minnesota to be exact. Crazy.

Welp that's where I leave you young one. Until another good read... :)

current events

Well this week was rather interesting. I had a very tough time waking up all week long, I probably stayed up too late the nights before in some cases, but in others I guess I was just being lazy. Oh well I guess, maybe I will do better next week!

First thing I want to talk about is how one of the saddest days in college basketball was yesterday, the 23rd of October 2008: LUTE OLSON RETIRED. I am sad, well happy for him, but sad for myself. I love Lute, he really is an awesome guy. I think I should throw in a couple of GREAT pictures here so that will justify my "tribute to lute" or "salute to lute." hahahahahaha. I HAD to say those, they made me laugh when I thought of them. Anyhow, here they are:

Well the next topic of discussion is how I am really not enjoying how the weather is turning to cold. I can handle chilly every now and then, but the temperature in Minnesota likes to go into way too freezing cold for me! It will probably be about 10 degrees in about one more month, I sure hope not. What I am also hoping is that the snow will hold off for a long time. I give the weather permission to snow on December 24th and then melt on December 26th and turn into 70 degrees by January 8th (the King, Elvis Presley's, Birthday!). Yes, I know what you are thinking, and it's true, MY birthday is one day after Elvis'!!!! We are pretty awesome in that way.

That is a nice lead into how I want to go to Las Vegas just for Sir Elton John's Red Piano show/event. Last year when I was there they were setting it up and doing the advertising, I was way excited. I am really just a feaux(sp) Sir Elton John fan, you've got to be just because of how ridiculous he is. You just cannot NOT love ridiculous. The reason I am a faux(sp) Elvis fan, is just for that small fact I previously shared, the birthday thing. Its also ridiculous, and if you know me, you know ridiculous (or that I love ridiculous and saying ridiculous things). I like good laughs, that cannot be a crime.

Well on that note, I think I should go to bed, so I can wake up for work tomorrow (probably late again but I sure hope not!). It's only a "half day" at work tomorrow, I don't mind going in on Saturdays just because its not really tough work, they have breakfast or lunch catered in and sometimes it can be verrry delicious. Besides, I haven't worked a Saturday in a long time, probably a good month and a half or so. Anyhow, hopefully this has been an enjoyable read, and I have one more thing to finish off with...... :)

So my best friend Natasha, wanted to see what I am looking like lately, since we haven't seen each other in person in waaayyy too long! Therefore I am posting a couple of pictures of myself, well just one really, but in two different ways. The first one is just the normal picture with no editing effects, the second was edited at my newest FAVORITE website picnik.com. It is a way awesome website that you can do MANY cool things with your pictures. I was just trying out random things with this photo that I am posting, but I am sure better pieces of work will come along eventually, but I am way excited to use picnik in my scrapbooking endeavors. I LOVE it is the bottom line!!!! :)

memory lane

ANOTHER PICTURE BLOG!!! get ready, some pictures are older, some newer kind of I guess. :)

This first one was from this past May. My friend Jessica and I at her dad's place in Minneapolis. This was one FUNNN night!!!! (in my red high heels! LOVE THEM)

This one I probably posted before, but how can you not laugh EVERY time you see it. My friends Melissa & Justin had Herky come to their wedding. This is one of her favorite pictures from the event, but then again, how could it not be?!

This is me, at Jimmy Johns in Iowa City, a long time ago. Apparently I was way excited for a sandwich!!! OR maybe I am just freaking because they are so fast?! Thats probably it!!

This is me, getting a strike obviously. HAHAH Probably not actually, I think I am THE worst bowler I know. But too bad my big body is blocking whatever I am cheering about. hahaha.

This is from my 21st birthday. This is Amanda and I, we were born about 5 mins apart or so. We had our 21st party together. It was a real blast!!! And about 10 degrees outside, even better for the walk home. :)

This is an old one of my roommates from my jr yr of college. They are Justin and Melissa, we were at a wedding, taking a roommate picture, ha ha.

This is me, out in Iowa City one night with my blond hair. HAHAHAHAHA I am kidding. Its Kristen Cavalleri from Laguna Beach, I wanted my hair cut like this a while back and just HAD to try and fool people. I am so sure you all were fooled!

This is way old of one of my best friends Morgan and I. These are our normal faces, seriously. HAHAHA just kidding! I don't remember who I was on the phone with, but apparently we wanted to take a silly picture while I was chatting along. We were in Eau Claire, Wisconsin for this. Yet another FUN night!

Well that is probably enough pictures for now! Hopefully some of them were pretty exciting, although I doubt it. I love taking pictures and I love looking at pictures. Other than that I will try congering up some real good stories for tomorrow's blog, or whenever my next one is. Until then! :)

"but my lips hurt real bad"

Well it is just about time for me to hop into bed, but I figured I might as well write a little blog first.

First of all, the main issue of today is my bottom lip. When I went tanning I had a lot of things to hold so I stuck the tanning sticker in my lips to hold for a few moments. Well there must have been some real good glue or something that stuck to my lip, because when I pulled it off my lip it pulled some skin off, and it HURT! I couldn't believe it. I do not know how it happened or why, but it did and ever since that moment it has been bothering me.

Other than that fun, I don't have much to write about I guess. I was going to do some scrapbooking tonight, but I don't really have any copies of the pictures I want to use to scrapbook as this time. I had a few pictures from the Jack Johnson concert I went to a couple of years ago, but I didn't feel like doing those ones this evening. So, basically I need to get a whole bunch of my digital pictures printed out. I really love scrapbooking and I especially LOVE my scrapbook. It is pretty awesome, full of great pics, fun times, fun people, pretty layouts, sweet colors, all in all, awesome EVERYTHING. I mean, OBVIOUSLY. Why wouldn't it?!

On another subject, I really really REALLY want to do something to change my hair. I am not so sure what I want to do yet though. I am getting more and more antsy. I need to figure out exactly what I want to do and just go get it done. Sometimes I get really picky about hair, but that only causes problems so I try to be quite open minded and adventurous when I can.

Moving along, I am way exciting for, first of all Thursday night's episode of The Office, I get so impatient with that. But I am wayyy excited for Desperate Housewives on Sunday, and Boston Legal on Monday! I am way excited for those 2 shows because on Housewives they are doing a flashback sort of episode revealing secrets that happened in the past 5 years (between seasons they jumped 5 years ahead in the lives of the characters). Then, I am super excited for Boston Legal next Monday, because tonight's episode was good of course, but the preview at the end showed Alan Shore and Denny Crane (2 of the characters...James Spader & William Shatner play them), going to a dude ranch! Oh I cannot wait. If you don't watch either of those shows, this portion of the blog was probably verrrrry boring and very confusing. Oh well! :)

Furthermore, on the subject of tv shows, I really love Chelsea Lately. Chelsea Handler is quite hilarious! I have been watching it a lot lately and it really makes me laugh. Conan O'Brien also makes me laugh a lot. Basically I like shows and people that make me laugh, if you haven't noticed or weren't already aware.

Well since I cannot stop talking about tv, I should probably just cut out of this one tonight and pick up on some new topics later! But I must throw in that I hope the Tampa Bay Rays will win the World Series. Either team are fine with me I guess, but I think they deserve it (not that its fair to say any certain team really deserves something, but I kind of feel they do). Well, until another day! :)

corrections

Alright!! So it has been one whole week since I have written anything. That is pretty LAME of me, so I will try to never let it happen again (but you're never supposed to say never!). So my lips are chapping, that is way annoying and I should really put on some chapstick, that'd be grrreat.

Well, my trip down to Ames, IA was pretty fun. I enjoyed going to Hobby Lobby once again, I just love that place. I really wish I had one by my house, the closest one: Rochester, MN. That is like an hour away, not close enough in other words! So I also enjoyed baking some Halloween sugar cookies. They were quite delicious, as well as decorated very nicely! hahaha.

Now on to something extremely important: The Office was HILARIOUS tonight!! I loved it, once again. It seriously just never gets my hopes up, I ALWAYS anticipate greatness, and they ALWAYS deliver greatness!! That is amazing when things work that way.

Anyhow, other events this week that are worth talking about I guess. At work, the guy I cannot stand has been extra annoying to me. He really is an ignorant jerk, really. When I took some of those delicious Halloween sugar cookies that were mentioned earlier, he came in to work after I did, I hadn't even seen him, and he decides to call someone at the other office and tell them that I didn't share a cookie with him. Boy that was irritating, considering I hadn't even seen him yet that morning. I think he is stuck in some delusional world, because half the time the way he acts and the things he says are just so abnormal. I shouldn't let it get to me, most of the time I am able to brush it off, but not always.

Well, moving along, I have been tanning for the last few weeks now and I must say I am just loving it! Sometimes I get worried about what is going to happen to my skin and all the bad things tanning does, but it doesn't seem to stop me from going and loving it. That is kind of bad, but I guess there isn't much I am going to do about it. It is ironic that I think people look way healthier when they are tan, it really is NOT healthier, but it does LOOK that way. Another thing that I find quite ironic is how people in USA have tanning salons and are always trying to get darker, but I am told in India and Asian countries they have skin lighteners and such to try to get lighter skin. It is kind of similar to just wanting curly hair if your hair is straight and wanting straight hair if your hair is curly. I guess humans just really do want what they can't have. Perhaps.

Onto another subject, I really like grammar and writing styles. One thing that annoys me is when people type a message or whatever and make mistakes or typos that are SO obvious and they don't fix them. I know we all make errors sometimes, but it drives me nuts. There are a couple people I know that seriously have a typo in every single thing they type, they never take the time to fix it. Are they just stupid and don't know that they have made an error? Or are they just trying to be extra annoying? Its probably something simple that I shouldn't let bother me, but honestly I always use backspace, in my last typing test I used it multiple times and still had an 83 words per minute rate. So surely it really doesn't take too much time to fix these things, and really this is probably a minor error that when constantly repeated is the cause of our economic troubles. People just don't care enough. hahahaha, well I am obviously kidding about it being a reason for our economy, but I do think it says a lot about the person who doesn't correct those errors.

Well I definitely think this was a productive rant, maybe it was and maybe it wasn't! I need to take more pictures!! I have been dying because I haven't been using my camera enough. I used to take more pictures than some people could ever imagine, well anybody could imagine the amount really, but I am just saying I did take quite a few pictures. I need one of all the pretty fall leaf colors that are out right now. It is just way too beautiful to not capture. We'll see. So thats enough, until another day! :)

work work

Well I figured I had better update this, since I am going to be gone again this weekend and I wouldn't want to deprive anyone from reading my thoughts. hahahaha. I know its really not that serious, but anyhow an update is what ya get!

To start things off, I felt like I wasn't working very well at FedEx today. I don't know why I felt this way, the walls I was building just didn't seem to me to be very good walls. But one of my managers told me they were just fine, so aparently I am just my own worst enemy. Well maybe it doesn't need to be in such a rough term, but you get the idea.

So The Office was on tonight. My all-time favorite show ever. It was pretty good tonight. I really love that Jim Halpert, he's just great. Quite cute I might also add. Now there is a special SNL on I guess. I find this to be kind of odd, but will probably bring some laughs. We'll just see.

Now for the big news, I am going down to Ames, IA this weekend. I'm leaving tomorrow after work and I really cannot wait! I am way way wayyy excited for this weekend. I am going down to see my friend Melissa (and her husband, but NOT the cat named Chasey, definitely NOT!!). hahaha. Well we have so many fun things planned already I just cannot wait to get there and go do them all! It will be awesome. Hopefully a lot of fun pictures will follow!

Well my lips are getting chapped. I do not like chapped lips at all, probably because I am so in love with Chipotle and it burns when you eat that while having chapped lips!! Such a traumatizing thing, but Chipotle is way too good to give up for that! Obviously.

And I think that is all I am going to rant about tonight. Hopefully fun blogs will come next week, just look forward to that is all I ask. Until then! :)

hobbying

It has been awhile! Well I made a trip down to I-O-W-A this weekend and also got a little touch of the flu. So lots of fun and then lots of not so fun! But I am no longer sick and back on track I guess, as far as blogs go.

First of all, I am right now watching the Presidential Debate and so far, I feel it has been rather ridiculous. I don't understand why the two candidates just continue saying "he did this, he did that" and then when that guy responds they just say "I didn't do this, but he did that and he did this." It is rather hard to tell who really did what and where they are coming up with it and how to believe one word or the other. McCain does seem to have more factual evidence against Obama through use of what he voted for or didn't vote for and what he has spent or not spent money on. All in all, Obama is probably the worst choice for President I could probably think of. :)

So, on to other things. Iowa was a lot of fun. The drive is never the fun part though. I really do not like driving the four hours it takes, it is so boring and I do not do ANY speeding along the way so sometimes it gets really annoying. Although, when I was down there in February was probably the most annoying drive of all, it took me 7.5 hours to get home, snow and ice under the snow made it really difficult to go very fast at all. I was mainly worried about the other cars on the road, some of them were driving TERRIBLY. One good idea when the conditions are that way, do NOT sit on the brake!!!

Well among other things, I stopped at Hobby Lobby. It is a great store with lots of great things in it! Whenever I need to decorate a house or apartment or whatever, I will most likely stop there for good things. They sell their stuff at really cheap prices too. That is probably the best part. Anyhow, I love their scrapbooking section, they have a huge one and its cheap and great. But something else I got this weekend, was a painting kit. Its of a sunset with palm trees. I have been working on that this evening, so far I'm not too sure I am liking how its turning out, but I think once I finish it, it will be AWESOME. At least I am hoping! :)

And I think I will end things there because this has really been a lot of random talking about nothing, plus I could really use a shower right about now. So until other days.... :)

picture day

So today I have decided to do another blog full of pictures!! Most of them I took, but a few of them I found and loved. So hopefully you can enjoy! :)



This is me with some cows. I love cows. This was taken last summer at my friend Melissa's parents' house.

This picture I found on the internet. I just like it, and it is now the background of my computer :)

I took this picture of Minneapolis last summer, I had to do a powerpoint for a class and this is one of the pictures I took for it. I really love this picture, Minneapolis is such a beautiful citay!

I also took this one for the class powerpoint. I love the cherry spoon, such a great sight. I love love love it!

This is my nephew Jeff. My sister sent me this picture on my cell phone when he was just a month or two old. He is so cute when he does this pouty lip. I saw him do it twice or maybe 3 times and it just gets me every time!

This is me and one of my all time heroes...LUTE OLSON!!! I LOOOOVE him! A lot!! He's awesome. He loved me just as much, well maybe just very close! He's such a nice guy!!

and this one I found, I love it!!! and I think it really speaks for itself. laugh it up! :)

and that is all. :)
