I hate to admit it, I really do, but i just had a horrifying realization that there IS a chick flick that I LIKE!

Notting Hill. 

With Hugh Grant, I in fact, used to hate him, especially in that weddings/funeral movie, but what i'm now realizing is that it waas Andy MacDowell who annoyed me so much she made me hate everyone else around her in the movie. But for some reason I really like this movie. 

There I've said it, as out loud as the internet allows, if you will.  It's on BRAVO right now and I think i'm just going to spend the rest of my night watching this ............chick flick.  Oh the shame/sheer delight.

p.s. if you can name the movie in which I've titled this post, i'll tell you a secret!

On this day, the 2nd of November, in the year 2007 I have for the first time in my life finished a tube of chapstick without losing it.  If you haven't fallen asleep and are still reading, it was a Chap Stick brand Original scent.  That for some reason smells awesome.  Don't ask 'cuz I don't know. 

You may now go back to your regularly scheduled un-me-induced boredom.

Bella Lugosi’s Dead!

Halloween was spent and dorle's just relaxing.  I brought her over beef jerky halloween candy, since she is a communist and doesn't really eat the real candy.  So i wrapped her up beef jerky to look like candy, she did in fact, love it!  good.  I stayed the night cuz beerses are not good in cars. 

I wake (several times) the next morning after dreaming I have been shot in a third person shooter game in a bathroom.  Very strange and even harder than it is strange to describe getting shot for fake real let alone in a dream. 

So i wake up, drive home, shower and leave to go to work.  Realizing traffic was not too bad on the way there i stop for starbucks and it is not the distance so much that causes me trouble, since it is actually pretty close to work but rather all the stop lights that slow me down. 

Luckily the full-faced but kind looking guy behind the counter was fast with my coffee (which rang up more than usual this time, over $5 for two large iced black coffes with room)  lots of room might i add she barely filled the damn cup half way up!   Anyway, as I was saying

The traffic lights had slowed me down a bit on the way to the s'bucks so I had to break a few laws to make it to work on time, well really I most likely just broke the same law over and over again, to get there right under the wire.  It's such a time thing really, I mean my car clock said it was 8:27, my phone said 8:28, and i'm sure the work clock in the 'lobby'(which is different than our comp clock and our office phone clocks) was closer to 8:30 than i wanted.  You can see how it is hard to tell when one is late or on time at work.  And depending on which clock the boss is looking on depends on how well i make out when i get there. 

After doing some quick and most likely incorrect math, ....and breaking the laws, I call kay at the front desk to let her know I'm almost late, when she tells me "she's in another office today" 

Now luckily, I was on time and the coffe made it without a spill.

the water is sitting on top, i have taken to long to finish the venti

till next time in the trials and tribulations of yours truly

Ciao Bellas

and I donated money to my favorite radio station on the last day of their week long first ever member supported drive.  www.wprb.com is where you can listen to what I listen to all the time. 

Tonight is dinner with family at a *new* restuarant that has recently opened in the area.  Originally, it was a place that had been there forever and was very good, I'm hoping the new overhaul that they did to the place still holds up the beautiful interior as well as good food and atmosphere; and later followed by drinks with one of my good coworkers - it is another one of her friend's birthdays too tonight it should be fun and make for a painful monday but I look forward to making that worth it. 

Maybe I'll take some snapshots of the evening to prove I can still have fun.

I am so happy today.  This morning (that is after i went back to sleep after waking up totally sure it must be 6:30 when it was infact only 3:30) after three months of class I passed my BIG state exam! AND to top it off the best freinds in the world took me completely off guard by sending flowers to my office!  It was such a nice surprise to get them, they are beautiful and the card was awesome.  These two are some of the best and one's of a kind!
