ACL

I'm so excited! I just can't hide it!

I'm going to see the Foo Fighters on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday night!!! 

OMG! This is so f-ing cool! I have the biggest band crush! I know so many of their songs and just love their music!! 

Buy your ACL ticket now and come join me!!

Yikes -

I thought I was safe??? 

But, the May '08 magazines are starting to come in!  I am overwhelmed! 

Tonight I watched one of my three Netflix that I have been holding for a good month and multi-tasked with magazines! I got through one movie and THREE InStyle Magazines! 

Why do I put this stress on myself? I could end my 3 movie at a time Netflix and all my 12 magazines a month by sending a certified letter to somewhere in Siberia for forgiveness. (Similar to the steps you must go thru to terminate a tanning membership - if you have ever had one).

I guess it is a seasonal thing? I love to watch movies and read magazines in the colder months and I want less drama during the spring/summer daylight savings time. This is the time to work in the yard, go to the lake, play in the park!

Anyway, those are my thoughts...

Magazine Whore...

If you have been over to my house - you know that I LOVE magazines. 

I currently subscribe to: In Style, Oprah, Austin Monthly, Real Simple, Prevention, Glamour, Health, Lucky, Oxygen, Redbook and Bon Appetite! Right there, that is 11!! Almost a dozen!! And I may be forgetting a couple others - yikes~

I rationalize it because when I am at the grocery store check-out and I am surrounded by all the periodical temptations (People, Star, InTouch, etc. - the ones I DO NOT subscribe to - but will occasionally purchase) - I figure that by subscribing to them - I am saving money then by purchasing them one off.  Who wants to pay $4.25 a magazine??? (The accountant in me).

I guess I am running behind! I have at least January, February, March and April editions of each of the above magazines left to read~ I am simply overwhelmed and don't know where to begin reading. Do I start with April and work backwards? Or do a I start with January - even though that is so last season!

Major Dilemma!

 

So when it rains it pours...

Am I wearing a wearing  a huge sign around my neck? I have been single for awhile (but I am guessing that may be a blessing in disguise)???

What is it with men?

Do you radiant a scent when you are happy and excited about someone in you life? Do these masculine beings come down to Earth and try to ruin or conquer that feeling?? Where were they a month ago or six months ago? 

When it rains it pours -  I guess.  I'll never understand men!

 

I'm not complaining by any means - I feel adored and all that greatness (when it is pouring -mind you).  

I will keep you updated...

Brazil

As most of you know - I was scared to death to go to Brazil for my work trip! Was I going to come back with all my organs? Was I going to be kidnapped?

Turns out Brazil ROCKS! I enjoyed my time there so much that I'm looking forward to my trip!

The only thing I dread is the 10 hour flight from Dallas and back. That's a long flight for someone who can not sleep on plane flights. ;-(

So, did you know that in the Southern Hemisphere the water goes down the drain counter-clockwise versus clockwise (as it does in the US)?? Well, I attempted to document the moment.

And, I did! I started with the sink full of water and to watch it drain... no luck - it just all drained down in one big whoop.

So, my second attempt to document this amazing phenomenon was to record the toilet flushing.  I videoed the flushing of the toilet and I either saw the water going the opposite direction or maybe I just tricked myself into thinking it actually happened. Yippee me - I'm so accomplished - I have documented water going down the drain counter-clockwise!!

Smarty (me) gets home and downloads all my pictures and video footage. I forward all my fabulous photos, minus the videos, to my coworkers. Then I get the wise idea to delete all the photos/videos from the past 12 months in my iphotos and on my camera after I thought I had filed them safely away in file folders. 

I go back to upload this amazing video footage of my sink and toilet for you all to view. And, it is GONE! I deleted it!! I am so upset~ I now have no memories from Brazil except for the photos I sent to my co-workers and the small t-shirt I bought. Waaaa!!! 

Good thing I get to go back this summer (their winter)!!

I can't even get the pictures I e-mailed away.  Sorry - one day I will learn how to use this silly blogger~

Grrrr~

 

 

Dr. Oz on Oprah...

I record Oprah every day - sometimes I watch it and sometimes I just delete it.

But, today on Oprah my favorite guest was on- Dr. Oz.

 

Did you know people EAT in their SLEEP?

This one lady eats 1000-3000 calories in her sleep each night! She has NO clue what she has done until the morning when she sees the spoons and empty containers. 

Ummm...I would stop buying food and eat out only. 

If I start having night eating binges and sleep terrors - I am blaming Oprah and Dr. Oz~

Yawn - Good Night~
