Before I Disappear

My sister is flying in today!! WOOHOO!!!! So, likely no blogging for at least a week. Yesterday and today have been CRAZY busy at work. Right now it's nap time, but I am too excited to nap, so I am blogging. (Yes, we do have nap time at my job. It's a great job.)

I am totally looking forward to the next 3 days at disney with my sister! My mom gets here late thursday night, but she will spend friday by the pool while sis and I finish up at disney. Then on saturday we are going to see the postsecret exhibit in Melbourne and on Sunday my judge is having my "goodbye" party - like 3 MONTHS before I leave!!!! LOL He's crazy. I won't be back at work until Tuesday.

Not much is going on in my world. I have been having INSANE dreams lately though, and I would like to write them down, but I don't have time right now.

So, anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know I am alive & you should hear from me again in about a week!!!

Scarves = Terrorism

Either Rachael Ray or her stylist, or both, are terrorists. Apparently they missed the latest Fox News memo announcing the connection between scarves and terrorists. Or maybe they DID read the memo and chose the scarf on purpose to communicate their sympathies to Bin Laden! So sneaky!!!

Either way, this new fashion rule is going to be difficult to adjust to, since white people love their scarves. But, I guess truly patriotic white people already knew about this and threw out their scarves on September 12, 2001. So this will really only be difficult for people who live in blue states.

Back to the Grind

For a week at least! This has been a CRAZY month!!! First K was here, then JG, then K again. This weekend I went to Ft. Lauderdale for my friend's daughter's 1st birthday. But today I was back to work and VERY BUSY!!! I was working pretty much non-stop from 7:30am to 4:30pm....which is very unusual for me! I did get to go grab quizno's for lunch, but that was my only break. I even worked while I ate!!

At 4:30 I was totally caught up, so tomorrow should be less busy. But Thursday we have 5 sentencings & a picnic. Then on Saturday I have to go to Tampa to meet with the leasing people at my new apartment. Then next Tuesday my sister will be here!! Woohoo!!! We are gonna spend 3 whole days at Disney World!! Yay!!! My mom gets here next thursday, and K may be back next saturday. On Monday (the 9th) they all leave and I will take a VERY LONG nap!!!

But the craziness will start up again at the end of June when I have a bench trial (which is a lot more work for me than a jury trial), and then in the beginning of July I am going to my hometown for my high school reunion!

I think this summer is gonna fly by, which sucks because it just means that the end of this fabulous job will come too soon. So I am gonna try my best to enjoy every moment of it.

Mini-Vent

I'm watching the How I Met Your Mother from a couple of weeks ago. In this episode Ted finds out that his g/f didn't have sex for 5 years and all of his friends freak out. Like going 5 years without sex is such a big deal. That's how long I went and actually, it was great and it flew by. It really bothered me to watch this episode and the things people said about this girl. How she "needed" to get some, and how desperate she must be. It was just ridiculous. I guess for guys it's a big deal to go five days without sex, but I think that most of the women I know could easily go years without sex and not have a problem. I mean, when it's not in your life, it's just not there. Other things are going on, it's really not that big of a deal. I mean, I realize that not everyone hates sex like I do, but I still think that most women could give it up without much of a problem. I'm not sure why female actresses don't say to their script writers that women don't really talk that way. I mean, I knew guys who were shocked that I didn't have sex for 5 years, but all of my girlfriends thought it was no big deal. I just hate how TV shows make it seem like life without sex is miserable. GRR!

Let's Do Some Math...

This morning, at 6:20am, a local radio station gave out 8 gallons of free gas to the 1st 105 people to show up at a particular gas station. Gas in Orlando is about $3.75/gallon right now, so that works out to around 28 dollars worth of gas. People started lining up at 11:30 last night for this free gas. That means they waited for 7 hours to get 28 bucks!!! That's $4/hr. Well below minimum wage.

Why would people do that??? I mean, sit in a gas station parking lot for $4/hr??? Would they take a job that paid like that??? It's like the crazy people who camped out at Ikea. I just don't understand it.

I Heart David Cook

How excited am I about American Idol????? VERY excited! I have been loving Mr. Cook all season long, but I never thought he would ACTUALLY win!!! This marks only the 2nd time in seven years that AI has gotten it right! (The first time being season one with Kelly Clarkson, of course.)

I didn't watch the entire 2 hour extravaganza, but the parts I did see were pretty damn good. I LOVED David Cook with ZZ Top!!! David A. with One Republic was kind of a disaster though. Also, I don't think I realized that One Republic was white until last nite! LOL I was excited to see George Michael but I didn't like his song...it was like he was singing a speech or something. Very "I'm in a musical."

Besides the end result, the highlight of the night was Paula standing up and shaking her booty during like EVERY SINGLE PERFORMANCE! I wonder if the people sitting behind her were warned in advance that their seats had an obstructed view!

I am a little worried about David A. - I hope his father didn't beat him last night. But I think he will still get a record deal, make one album, and disappear into the night. I really don't think he has any long-term potential as a pop star.

As much as I love David Cook, I was worried that the teeny bopper vote would outweigh the people who actually listen to the music. But I was blissfully wrong! I'm sure it didn't hurt that the David A. fans had to be in bed by 9pm and couldn't vote as much as the grown ups! LOL Myself, I only managed to get through 5 times on Tuesday to vote. Still, he won by 12 million votes! Woohoo!! I am so excited, I can't wait for his album!

He's Baaaaaaack!!!!!!

Yep, it's true. K is here again. No, you are not being punk'd. He is sleeping on the new couch as I type. Crazy, right? I think he should be gone again by Thursday...but it's almost starting to feel like we live together! LOL
