I'm baaaaack!

Alright, for the third time in over 2 1/2 years I'm going to try this again. I think I'm just not very good with keeping up with anything in my life. Blogs, Diets, Hairstyles, Fashion. I tend to stick with my boring sense most of the time. So I'm back to the blogging world at least for now. I'm really going to try to update at least every couple of days. I might have to get a group of friends to keep me honest. I'm also going to try and upload pictures this time. I got really lazy last time and never did it. This time it's a must. Who wants to read a blog that doesn't have pictures??

Well, I'm already getting tired of posting. HAHA this isn't going to last very long.

Lots of catching up.....

Holy bejesus! The last time I updated this thing was on April 23. Lordy, I'm horrible at having a blog. I think at this point it's safe to say that I DON'T have one.

Anywho, tons of things have happened since April. First of all I got engaged on my birthday. Great fun! I've already set a date of 7/7/07 in Vegas. That's right I hit the Jackpot....777!!!

My friend Daye got engaged this weekend. She's planning on getting married in August of next year. Needless to say it's going to be a busy year. Plus I'll be moving soon (fingers crossed) and then my life will be somewhat easier.

I'm doing the diet thing (AGAIN) but this time it's actually going well. Unfortunately I haven't lost anything as far as pounds go, but I have managed to go to the gym regularly. By that I mean at least 3 times a week. Sometimes more depending on how the week is going. I'm really proud of myself and this is the first time that I've actually felt like I'm achieving a goal that I've set. Even if I stay the same size I can still say that I'm in shape. I'm doing crunches....lots of them too. That's the thing I'm proudest of right now. Oh, and the fact that I can do pushups.

I've only lost an inch off my waist and about an inch in my bust, but it's a start. I still have 11 months to get this together. I'm off to a good start.

American Idol Drinking Game....

That's right kids.....for your viewing pleasure you can now enjoy the AI Drinking Game! Pound down the Rum as your favorite idols show their insecurities while performing. Want to get wasted by the time the second performer hits the stage? Well, here's how to do it:

Each person on the show has a quirk. Something really annoying that they do over and over again. Lucky for you I've already sat through a show and figured out what they all are:

Ryan Seacrest. Kind of a tough one because he does so many things in repetition but we figured out that he clasps his hands about a million times during the show. Not good!

Simon. Anytime he says, "Okay".

Paula. Anytime she says, "Refreshing" or "You're a breath of fresh air." Last week she used them in the same sentence.

Randy. This one's kind of up to you. I chose "Dawg" because it goes way back in AI, but now he's more on the "Dude" and "Baby" track.

Catherine Mcphee. She was actually kind of a hard one. I like the way she sings and she doesn't really do anything out of the ordinary, but she does have that damn sexy stare like Ace. Anytime she cocks an eyebrow and gives the camera "the stare"....drink!

Paris. She does this weird head bounce. Definitely not something you'll find during a slow song, but during the Beyonce performance......DEAR LORD!

Ace. Obviously I could do the sexy look with him as well....or even the hand raise. But last week I went out on a limb and chose to drink anytime he sings falsetto. I'm just so glad that I didn't decide to do that during the Butterfly song. YIKES!


Kellie Pickler. Alright, this was a tough one. I really wanted to drink whenver she says something stupid...."I've got Tarantulas" or "What's a ballsy?" but I decided to do her weird eyebrow movements. Turns out she made more dumb comments this week than the weird eyebrows, but I think this week I'll swap over.

Taylor Hicks. I'm sure people could count a million things that Taylor does, but the one that sticks out for me is the Joe Cocker dance. On Queen night we decided that anytime he threw his arm back and cocked his leg we would drink. He sang "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" so I'm sure you know how that one turned out.

Chris. Anytime he touches his stomach. I know it sounds weird, but he really does do it alot!

Elliot. Definitely one of the worst. He licks his lips in between every line. OMG! Luckily last week he sang a faster song and didn't have time to do it....but I have a bad feeling about this week.

Well, that's it. I'm happy that Bucky's gone because he passes the microphone from hand to hand and he does it after every line. Last week I was already buzzed when he was done singing and he was the first one!!

Good luck and for beginners you might want to make your drinks weak.

Another Tag.....Although I wasn't....

I know, this is really sad and pathetic because I'm doing this and I don't have to. But the questions seemed interesting so I decided to take it upon myself and have a stab at it.

So here we go......

1. First time you got kissed: When I was 13. I was a "late bloomer" by the standards of my friends and family members.....which is kinda sad if you think about it. I was kissed by a boy named Morgan Flake (who turned out to be a "flake" ironically). I had been in love with him FOR-EV-ERRRR. We rode with my mom to drop him off at his dad's job and right before he got out of the car he layed one on me!! I was on cloud nine for about 2 years....seriously! I had never felt anything surge through my entire body like that....and I finally felt some interesting parts that I had never felt before!!

2. First time you drove a car: When I was 9. My family and I were driving out of town and I said, "Dad, can I drive?" and he said, "Sure get in my lap." So I did.....Unfortunately my parents both fell asleep while I was driving, so finally after about an hour of driving I decided I would wake them up before we got to the next town. I have never seen people freak out like that before....

3. First time you scrapbooked: In '03 right before my cousin's wedding. I decided that I was going to make her an album for her gift. For first time scrappers I would NOT recommend this and I will never do that again. Nicely put....people can be assholes.

4. First time you went on a date: Probably when I was 14. I probably went to the movies (that my mom dropped my date and I off at) and made out the entire time.

5. First time you fell in love: When I was 5 and saw Simon LeBon of Duran Duran on TV. Real people....probably Morgan Flake. Jeez! Who would've thought that guy had so much impact on my life?!

6. First time you cooked for someone: Maybe for my parents.

7. First time you got on a plane: When I was 4. My mom and I flew to Dallas to see my aunt. I remember my ears needed to pop the ENTIRE time. I remember thinking that the cars looked like little bugs, and when we got to the airport we saw a guy in a trenchcoat flashing people. Man, I have a better memory than I thought!

8. First time you shaved your legs: I was in 5th grade and I finally noticed during class that they were looking kinda shaggy. My hair was really blonde though, so I probably didn't need to shave them until High School!

9. First time you put on make up: Probably around 5th or 6th. My face started breaking out so I started using base to help hide it.

10. First time you moved out of your home: When I was 21. I had just graduated college and couldn't wait to get out.....and today I'm still in the same apartment. I don't really like change.

I feel so bad.....

How is it that Chriselda, the busiest person on the face of the earth has time to update her blog.....and I sit here at work every night for 5 hours and think, "I'm bored. I have nothing to do", and I never do this. Maybe because I don't have pictures on here. I think that would help. And right now I have some pictures that I would love to put on here so I could vent. Here's the story anyways.....

Brandon and I went to Walmart the other night before I came to work. We do our shopping and come out to the parking lot. I walk up to the rear and I realize....I can't get to the driver's side door.....someone is parked too close. The idiot next to me decided that instead of pulling straight into the spot they only went half way into the spot. The rest of their car was over the yellow line right next to my door. I seriously couldn't have put a bag into the car without injuring myself.

(Insert pictures here)

That's right. I took pictures. Mainly because I had this weird fear that Brandon or myself would tackle the person the second that they walked by their truck and we would end up in court. It's always nice to have a camera in your purse.

So we're standing there figuring out what we're going to do to this person's car....because we can't just let them get away.....
Brandon decides to go in and have them paged in the store so they'll come to the front so we can yell at them. I wait out by the car for the person to come out.

So here he comes. A guy with a handle bar mustache, Nascar hat on....definitely the driver of this new Ford pickup. I ball my fist up and start preparing what I'm going to say to him. What if he hits me? Brandon's in the store. What will I do? Maybe I shouldn't say anything......

Wait. He's not getting in the truck. He's walking past it......He's in the car next to the truck. CRAP!

Hmmmm...there's an older lady walking by. Jackie O's on. She seems pretty harmless. HEY! Why did she just get in the truck??? Where's she going?????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? THAT lady??

And that was it. She was gone. She parked like an idiot and will never know it. How could I let her get away? I know one thing's for sure.....I have her license plate number and the make and model of her truck.....I'll be on the look out for that grandma!

Helllllooooooo!

Wow, it's been a long time. I just read Chriselda's blog and thought that I finally needed to update mine. Then after reading hers I also decided that I'm lousy at telling stories and that I should just copy hers onto mine.

I've been sucked into that evil spawn called Myspace and haven't been able to post anything on here. Plus, I'm still not officially able to be on the computer at work for non-work related things......oh well!

I've been trying to get some top secret Christmas shopping done, but because this is on the internet where people can read it at their will I'm being forced into keeping quiet about it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I was just watching the AMA's and holy crap it's awful. I can't say that all of it is bad but most of it is horrible! The only good things that I've seen are the old 80's people that are on there....Cyndi Lauper and The Eurythmics. Damn, Annie Lennox looks good! And what the hell is going on with Hillary Duff?? What happened to that chick? She's totally falling into that Ho Bag Lindsey Lohan's footsteps. She looks terrible (way too skinny, horse teeth) and she was singing off key and I swear she was on something.

And while I'm dis'ing the Teen Queens I might as well get after Ashlee Simpson. GEEZ! What was this drunken debauchery in McDonald's? Alright, I'm neither rich, nor famous and trust me, I've had plenty to drink in my day....but come on! Don't you at least TRY to clean up your act when you're in the spotlight? Her daddy Joe taught her to wait until she was married to have sex, but getting drunk and sitting on the counter at Micky Dee's is ok. WHAT??? I don't think celebrities realize that camera phones could be the beginning of their demise. Do you really think that anyone would've believed that guy if he didn't have it on video? Well, probably. But that just makes it better!

So Hillary, Lindsay, Ashlee and the countless other Drama Rama Girlies, be on the lookout! You never know when your anorexic, fake teeth, drunken, drug crazed days may be over.
