Blah Blah Blah

I must say I have not been keeping up my blog as much as I would like. I have tried but it's just not working, I have a lot to say but no time to blog about it.

I have been fairly busy at work. It's been a crazy week with a lot to do and very little time in which to do it. Sometime I wonder if the people at my job even realize that the world does go on outside those walls and that life is just to great to miss out on it over a spreadsheet. Really people, I know it's our job but we can relax, it's not open heart surgery.

Anyhoo, that being said I went to say Episode III and although I found it interesting for the most part, with good action sequences and stuff like that I was a tad disappointed. I think this movie was overkill and I could have done without a lot of the "fluff" that George Lucas added on trying to explain way everything, not to meniton the really bad acting.

That being said I am spending some time in Maryland this weekend of Memorial Day. I came to visit the Pickles and will be here until Monday. Tomorrow we are all going up to Baltimore for J's BBQ, it should be nice seeing her again, haven't seen her since February. Next week I am off to Cancun, finally a true vacation.I am very much looking forward to sepending some time on the beach (yes I know I just came back from Fl. but it's not the same).

I aslo have begun apartment hunting and am looking forward to moving in to my own place very soon. I guess that's why I've been busier, looking at apartments everyday after work, calling people about apartments, etc can be very time consuming. I'm sure that soon I will be able to settle down somewhere.

In a nutshell, that's where I'm at right now. Soon enough I will have more news and or stories to share.

Tattoo

Did I not mention? I had a temporary moment of insanity while I was in FL. I wanted to get a tattoo, yes you heard right a tattoo.

Maybe I should start from the beginning, I've wanted to get a tattoo ever since high school, and have come pretty close to getting one. So, this time I said to myself maybe I should do it, maybe I just just suck it up and stop being such a wimp.

That lasted all of half an hour because then I started asking myself "Is this the yoga thing to do?" I mean I've always tried to be good to my body so why in the world would I put myself through the pain. Then I asked myself "Would the Dalai Lama agree with me getting a tattoo?" I'm sure he has better things to worry about but a call would be nice. (I picture myself picking out the design with His Holiness). So, I chickened out again, but soon enough I shall make up my mind.

Anorexic student denied valedictorian title

I saw this article today and thought it was interesting: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7884243/?GT1=6542

Would they deny her the title if it were a different disease or illness?

Weekend Update

I got back from Fl. safely and now I'm at work. The trip was a success, I think. I had fun, laid by the pool, had drinks, shopping, dancing, overall good times. I have realized that even though I have taken numerous swimming lessons I still do not know how to swim. I have perfected the art of the "doggy paddle" but I don't consider that swimming. Specially when you see a 7 year old doing laps of intricate swimming strokes and you are just trying to stay afloat. Other than that all was great, the weather, the hotel and the general positive energy flowing through.

And now, back to reality.

Off I go.....

Ok, I'm going to Fl tomorrow. I just figure I'd make everyone aware since I won't be posting stuff over the weekend. I saw mini-pickle today and he is the cutest. I love that kid! I will make sure to discuss my trip when I get back.

Whatev'

I'm really tired today. I stayed up to the wee hours last night packing for the trop to Fl. Somehow, even though I know I am only going for 4 days I seemed to have packed for atleast a week. Overpacking seems to be my specialty but hey, I like to have options.

I was talking to a DC last night anf it seems to me that not many people say "whatev'" which is weird because I always say it. I thought it was rather interesting and surprising that he hasn't heard that before. We had a pretty long conversation although we were tired and involved doing other things at the same time (me packing) but it was nice. It's always nice to catch up and talk to people that want to listen. All this and I haven't even commented on the Mets.

I know the Mets lost yesterday but, they are doing better that the Yankees. I think we should all send positive vibes to the Mets so they have a good season and make it to the playoffs and maybe all the way to the World Series. Just in case you want to check the standings go to: www.mlb.com

In other news, the next installment of Star Wars is due out next week. For those of you that don't know I am a big fan (bigger fan of LOTR but Star Wars is more longer term in my life), however I am just going to see this movie to make sure I complete the process. I think the original episodes were just that original and we should not be subjected to any more of Hayden Christensen's bad acting. Why does he always look pissed? Is that some kind of new acting trend? Good grief I hope not.

Anyway now I'm just rambling, and in two days I will be in sunny Fl (thought I would through that in).

Not much goin' on

All I can think about is going away this weekend to bright sunny Florida. I am really excited and anxious to be away. I didn't do much this weekend, just hung around my house since I missed all the events that I was invited to.

This is certainly not new, but I still believe I am sidetracked and have lost focus of what is really important to me, however I did want to give myself a break from all the thinking I was doing. Trust me this break is well deserved. Soon enough I will be back to my paraniod, obessesive self and all will be back to normal.

My boss (Mrs. PotatoHead) came back from matenity leave today. My peace is now over, I now have to listen to her voicemail (even though I have an office with a door I can still hear it) and watch her do her chicken little act. I'll do my best to continue on without interruption as I feel I have been more than productive in recent days.

Three days to go, and then sunny Florida......

Recap, and it's Friday!

I had a fun last night "cinco de mayoing" with friends, drinks at one place, dinner and a drink at another. Overall I had a good time, I saw a few people that I haven't seen in a while and that's always refreshing.

This week has been so hectic for me though that I just want to go home and rest today. I am supposed to meet LV for drinks but I don't think I'm up for it. I want some rest today. Tomorrow I have a few things lined up none of which I have strongly committed to. This weekend I am leaving open to last minute plans, or some last minute sleeping. I also need to pack for my trip next weekend which as I mentioned before I am really excited about. Now I have also remembered that this sunday is Mother's Day which makes the weekend a tad more complicated than I thought. That means that if I am going to have any me time, it's gonna be tonight and tomorrow, sunday has just become unavailable.

P.S. I have developed allergies since last night. Don't know why, my eyes are red, itchy and watery and my sinuses are starting to bother me. I think I may be getting congested again. Good thing I have eye drops, but those make my eyes really dry, no help for the sinus issue.

Carpe Diem!

In my continuing effots to enjoy myself and be adventurous I have decided to take an impromptu trip to good ol' Fort Lauderdale, Florida next weekend. Being that I didn't plan this trip a month in advance and carefully planned all the details makes it impromptu. I just decided yesterday that I was going to do something next weekend, got on aa.com and booked my flight, called my sister to book the hotel and that's pretty much it. I'm really excited, this will be my mini-vacation pre-Cancun. I'm very much looking forward to taking the time off.

On another note, I will be celebrating cinco de mayo with a few friends and colleagues today after work. Going for mexican food and margaritas (on the rocks with salt). Hopefully I'll make it through the night wearing these shoes. They are the cutest shoes with 4 inch heels and hurt my feet like they (the shoes) want to see them (my feet) die. But, they are cute shoes and one must pay the price.

Moderately Alcoholic Adventure

Needless to say I had fun last night. I had just enough drinks and went home just at the right time after hanging out with a some interesting people that say interesting things.

Now I wish I had the power to turn gay guys straight. I believe that every woman should have a one time "freebie" to turn one gay guy straight during their lifetime. That way we all get what we want, I keep on wishing though maybe it will come true.

Not only that, it turns out that while I was out on the town with the G-Unit, there was major pipe break in the bathroom above from mine. From what I hear, they had to call the fire department and everything to come get the situation under control. Just my luck, I'm out and firemen come to my apartment while I'm not there. I missed the show, missed the firemen but hey you really can't have it all can you.

Cancun Baby!

I am super amped because I justed booked my trip to Cancun Baby! not just Cancun, but Cancun Baby! I am really excited and thought I should share. I will be going the week after memorial day for about 6 days. I can't wait to get some sun and play in the nice weather. Good thing I am bathing suit ready, I don't have to spend too much time doing crunches or anything, I do enough of that during the winter for this purpose alone.

I will be going out for a night on the town with VC today. It was her birthday this past sunday so we are going for a bit of a celebration with a few friends. I will provide my report tomorrow if I can.

And Suddenly

And suddenly I find myself with not many interesting things to say, which is surprising being that I always have something to say. I think I may be suffering from some kind of Blogger's Block (get it writer's block, I blog, blogger's block).

I finished Angels and Demons and it is a bit weird but overall it was good. I found it very similar to the Da Vinci code but this one was a bit more grusome. I started to read The Life of Pi, I got through the first two pages and put it down. Not only do I have blogger's block but I also can't concentrate that well and seem to be losing focus. I know I'm a bit tired but I still haven't put my finger on what's going on with me. This has been going on for the past 2 weeks at least.

Had a good time this weekend. I went out to a couple of places. New York City is definately a good place to live if you want to hang out. I had a few "moderately alcoholic" experiences (as my friend Magpie would say) and slept a lot. Other than that not much happening here.

BTW, still considering if I should post "the list" or not.
