I heart grouches and blogs

Don’t have a lot to write about at present. Feeling generally lethargic, reasons unknown.

J is being a major grouch, I guess having serious financial issues, project due at the end of the week, and a bad leg would probably bring out the bitch in me as well…but still, he really is being a pain in the ass. I have kinda played along and been aloof as well, but will try to be nice.

I think I might plan a little picnic getaway to celebrate his presentation, and maybe that will cheer him up.

Deciding if I should start a recipe blog, but I have issues, with not being able to sort things on blogger, must look into typepad, or word pad or xanga or the other ones. I heart blogs.

Have lost 5lbs. So I celebrated this weekend by gorging on chips and dip. Way to go me.

Cycle 5 ANTM

The Bonus Premiere, episode thingy:

Lisa : “Sometimes, my heart is too big for my body.”

Ebony. “Don’t get it twisted” and bawling and saying bananas when she made the final cut

Cassandra: Don’t remember the exact quote but when she says something to the effect of her being a robot. This show is awesome!!!

Kim: One down, Eleven to go

Tyra has lost weight and her hair atleast yesterday, was not freakish and she seems a little less holier than thou this season, I might get over my tyra hatred, if she keeps this up.

Jay Manuel is as orange as ever. Miss J’s flowers were the most interesting moment during judging. Twiggy needs to step it up, if she wants to have any kind of impact on the show and Nigel Barker is as HOT as ever!

Midweek Recap

So I have decided, its time to seriously start exploring options for going back to school! I am a little scared, I won’t get enough financial aid, but we’ll see how everything goes. I’m just mentioning this now, and I’m sure I’ll post more about it as plans/ideas get more solidified.

The week hasn’t been terrible. Tuesday I went to dinner w/ J’s coworkers and work friend. THe restaurant was horribly over priced, and the food was really only average, but the people were nice, and over all a decent time was had by all. J and I did get into a minor squabble about when to leave, but nothing major. I am still a little insecure about 2 chicks from his work, but I’m trying to move on ,and get over my insecurites and not put any more ideas in his head (bad me, especially last night). But in all reality nothing too major. I hope, I refuse to fuel my insecurities by obsessing about them here. Writing something down is almost making it permanent, and honestly thats the last thing i need.

In other news, I don’t know how feasible India is going to be for both J and me, since his knee has to be operated upon and will cost quite a bit, even after insurance. Everything is so frustrating………grrrrrr…..I asked J, when does it all end and he said, ” when we die” and of course this led to a very depressing conversation in bed. GAWD, I have a knack for these things.

Hung out with NG last night, and it was really fun, now that I feel that boundaries have been established and she is not everywhere I look. We watched ANTM, and I must say, I have high hopes for this season! I do miss Miss Janice Dickinson horribly, and ANTM will never be the same without her. The contestants this season already seem very drama prone and that can only lead to some awesome hall of fame moments. I think for Cycle 5, instead of doing my re caps and lists, I’ll just post a few best moments and best lines.

The Fall of discontent

I am failing miserably at sticking to the following goals

1) prospecting more
2) Eating less
3) Keeping the house in better shape

grrrrrrrrr………

Had a generally pleasant weekend. Went and saw Yo Mama’s big fat booty band at the Pourhouse, it was strictly okay. Got hit on by Mulletman, but my knight in shining armor, Y, came to the rescue and gave him a major dressing down.
We went to IHOP later and met up with a coworker and then I passed out on the way home.

Experimented on saturday. Was not to liking.

Sunday was spent relaxing, cleaning, eating a big dinner and watching cartoons

I am feeling very discontent, therefore , I don’t want to write anything, I just wish things would fall into place. God, I just need a break!

Friends, Life

Hold Em

Played poker last night! It was pretty fun, I think I’ll definitely repeat the experience. No big news other than J tore his ACL. Won’t know till tuesday what the deal is in terms or recovery, surgery, rehab, etc.

So depending on whether he needs surgery or not, plans for the rest of the year are up in the air!

Katharine Hepburn

Refreshing boredom

Yesterday was refreshingly normal! The type of day, I will refer to as blah/boring/lame etc, in 2 weeks. J and I woke up , went to work, Work was a typical monday, Drove home , bitched about gas prices, being broke ass, had leftovers for dinner which included: mexican, thai, pizza, and scotch! After that, I went and bought my bookclub book and read till the Daily Show came on and made fun of our dear president! Then I read, and J listened to music and then we went on a little walk and went to bed.

J and his boy were wrong King of Wishful thinking is not a depeche mode song, but a Go west song. Score for me and KD. We also discussed the merits of Ringo starr! We are uber lame….yes i’m using the word uber. I also listened to a Michael Jackson song, I had never heard called “No one cares about us” and MJ might be a pervert and a weirdo but he did put out some badass music.

On a serious note, I am really worried about J and his leg. He hurt his leg playing basketball and now its not healing as quickly. It might be some serious tissue damage, but i really hope its not, cuz that would mean surgery! Yuck!!! I guess we’ll know at the end of hte week!

Oranges and Thai food smells really good together

….And back to reality

Wow! So much craziness and just in the 4-5 days that I have been back.

Africa was incredible, I am going to have to do a long detailed log/post about it which is still in the works, will probably be about 2 weeks, till I can put everything online. But I really had a great time.

First reunion with J was great on wed afternoon at the airport. Seeing him, after two weeks almost made me weak, it really hit me, how much I had missed him. All day wed was feverish talking, sleeping and some other stuff that I am not going to share with anyone 😉

Thursday, I returned to work and everything seemed like it had gone smoothly, other than one irate client, but thats just how it goes sometimes. Friday and Saturday, were crazy good times, missed J at the parties, and found out all sorts of weird info about one of his coworkers, who was hell bent on hooking up with him, but thankfully nothing happened. I love my b.f, he is the best.

I did drunk dial him at 5 in the morning on sun and rambled on about my love for him, thankfully he found it sweet. Sun, I slept in and picked up J and this time at the airport he looked even better……..yum!!! God I am so shallow, but since yesterday, I haven’t been able to stop staring at him and thinking only very very bad thoughts…..is it obvious to everyone that I am completely consumed by lust.

Truth be told, I am really happy to be back, I just want life to be normal , atleast till the end of the year, no drama, no controversies, just a staid , routine.

Bad thing I did this weekend: Smoked a lot, too ashamed to even write down how much.
Good thing I did this weekend: Stopped eating so freaking much.
