Is there a Doctor in the house?

I think its going to be a weird day. It started when I woke up...looked at my watch..and saw it was 10:00! I jumped out of bed...I was SO late for work...then I looked at the clock by the bed...8:04! Jesus! Now I was going to be early for work. Hopefully there would be traffic and i could waste some time...unfortunately, Izzie was laying on the sofa and Paul had already gone to work..so I made it there in like 10 seconds.

I don't mean to go all hypochondriac on you, but I am totally suffering from several syndromes these days. Now that the Olympics is over, I have nothing to do. Well...not nothing, but I get totally involved in the Olympics and I watched it constantly..even the equestrian events! I watched water polo, handball..absolutely anything they decided to broadcast! Now..nothing! Is there some kind of rehab for this? Probably not...so I am suffering from POS - Post Olympic Syndrome. At least there was the Democratic National Convention! But that's over..and I've come down with a bad case of PDNCS! I suppose I shouldn't be excited that there is a major weather event on the horizon...but at least there will be something else to be glued to. (I hope it doesn't hit New Orleans...or us!). At least I don't have PMS...that would SUCK!

Happy and Warm

I was just commenting the other day how McDonald's no longer has Happy Meal boxes. I love those! But lately, every time I see a kid with a Happy Meal, its in a bag. There is just something about that box. So today for lunch, I went to McDonald's...and ordered a Chicken Nuggets meal (with Apple Dippers instead of fries) and guess what came to me through the window!!

Also..look what came today...my swift arrived so I had wind some yarn. I no longer have to do this by hand, around a chair back, with my husband laughing at me when I drop the ball of yarn!

And of course..a video. Jill, eat your heart out!!! :) Yes..I'll bring it with me when I come see you in November!

Admission and Recap

So..the American Idols tour...yes, you can call me a dork..I don't mind. Actually, I think the days of me not saying what I like are over...so here you go...I like Britney Spears music..I think it's catchy and is great to sing to..loudly..in the car! So there! whew..that felt good...

I said I was going to post more video..so here's more video..and pictures of course..but you'll have to go to flickr for them. I started posting them here and it was SO not worth the effort..so I'll direct you to the badge to your left..and just put my favorites here.

On the Street

I love Sesame Street..I admit it. I am 33 going on 5. Sometimes if I pass by it, I'll stop and watch.
So anyway...my mom was here visiting..and we both like this song by Feist and so we downloaded it. Apparently there is a Sesame Street version she did..and I think its cute.




From now on all my posts will have videos....

Idols on Tour

Carol and I went to see the American Idols tour on Sunday night in Houston. We had a really good time...even with the woman sitting on my right who screamed constantly!!! I wish laryngitis on the woman...long term laryngitis!!!

I'll get the pictures and videos up shortly.

Bug

I just saw this on another blog I've been reading. It made me laugh!



Warning...contains bad language..but so funny....

Then there's a remix too...

UPDATE: The remix was SO annoying I removed it. I realize you could just choose to not play it...but I still felt strongly about it....

totally forgot

How did I totally forget to say that we got a new TV???? Just in time to watch the Olympics too.

Nice huh?

pre pre pre pre preperation

It's been an uneventful weekend...well I can't really say that...I got my hair cut (on a Saturday night..how sad have I become???)..all of the laundry is done..and I am just about ready for my mom to visit this weekend.

I have also started the pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-move sorting and donating... I can use all those pre's because we still have about 286 days (worst case scenario) before the moving day. I mean, I want to be prepared, right??? don't want day 5 to come and have me sitting here thinking "Maybe I should start doing something before my parents show up and have simultaneous heart attacks.".

I've cleaned out the linen closet, got rid of some old towels, etc. and sorted all of my excess toiletries into sections.

..who knew I had so much lotion???

I better start moisturizing if I plan to use that all up!

I also cleaned up the bedroom closet - re-stacked all my shoes...and shelved my bags.

I even had words with Izzie...we cannot possibly take all her dogs with us.

She'll get back to me on her decision.

Polski Coldski

I went to Poland and all I got was a cold...seriously.

I haven't had a cold in over 2 years...then work sends me to Poland, I get sick. Seems unfair, doesn't it. So..due to my germy-ness (Im sure that isn't a word) I haven't done much this week besides lay on the couch and watch the Olympics. I will have a real post soon.

My Polski Weekend

First..this is not going to be a summary of an interesting weekend in Europe..with pictures of wonderful sights..nope. Not this one. I was really surprised to learn that there really isn't much to see in Warsaw. It seems that all of the wonderful architecture that you see in most parts of Europe were destroyed during World War 2 - so most of Warsaw is relatively new.

Since learning of this, I took the opportunity to do very little :) (I didn't even go shopping) When I say very little, I mean that I did things like have breakfast and then go back to bed (I did that on Saturday). After I got up from my post breakfast nap, I did find a shop to get some water and a few other things and then went back to my room...to watch the 3rd season of Scrubs. Thank god for TV shows on DVD! I also did some knitting. In the evening, I did meet up with some of my co-workers and we went to have a lovely dinner.

I didn't even take these pictures! I don't know what's wrong with me. I am usually such a picture taker! If Izzie was here there would be all kinds of pictures!

Sunday we worked most of the day - I did find time for a manicure though..and to start watching Season 4 of Scrubs...I love that show!!
