Being mermaids!

Chocolate cherry + bright auburn brown = bye bye blonde!!

I love plums, and softball. Also, I am sad without my puppy, but she is not sad. And that is good for her. Even more also, I hate ASU and am terrible at eating sunflower seeds without eating the shells. That is all.

Your task for the day:

Go to www.google.com. Type in the word "failure", without the quotation marks. Click "I'm Feeling Lucky". Laugh.

My head hurts. The sickness has been put on me and I don't like it. I'm happy to hear that Noel is out, she is cool.

I don't have my phone, if you have been trying to intialize communication with me. Just so you know. If you have, and I don't call you back today, I hate you.

The War on Christmas

may be over. I don't know if we democrats won or lost this fake war, it might not even be over. But if it isn't, we should ease up on Christmas, we've got to save our energies for The War on May Day and The War on Flag Day, Groundhog Day, Grapndparents Day, etc. But the big one, the war that I'm not even sure if I'm courageous enough to fight, is The War on Administrative Professionals Day. I mean, we're out to kill the spirit of the country, but mess with Administrative Professionals' Day? I think that that's just going too far.

Just some thoughts as the New Year approaches,

Things that I am terrible at:

• Opening envelopes.
• Remembering the word "prototype" when I want to use it in a sentence.
• Hearing.
• 
  

Things that scare me:

• Piles of hangers - they're all creepy and disorganized!
• Ducks, geese and turkeys.
• Elevators.
• 
  

Things that creep me out:

• Touching bananas, they're yummy, but I can't stand touching them.
• The smell of cold cardboard boxes, ick.
• 
  

I left open bullet points so that you all can fill in anything that you find overlooked, something that might be sad that it didn't make the cut.

I still need to figure out what to wear to the New Years Eve party, because as of right now it's just going to be my hot shoes and a mask. Although that would be readily accepted by the other partygoers, it might get a bit chilly. We are going to see Cats tonight and I am extremely excited. I also don't know what to wear to that. I am going to pull off some stylin' magic in the next 36 hours.

Praise Zeus that we know who the carver is! Don't worry Joey, I wont tell you. I wlil say though that last night's episode was the most stressful tv watching experience of my life. I survived though, aren't you proud of me?

Also, the club has a name. Strut.

Wow. Mucho love to everybody.

Dear Ashley (with whom I live):

I miss you. I am sad that I see you for approximately 1 hour a week. :( . I think that that will come up as a mad emoticon when I actually hit post, but it's supposed to be a sad face.

Love,
Sad Face

The Land of Disney was great. Pictures to come. We rode the rides, ate the eats and had generally a grand time, except when Jakers needed to eat. Updated Space Mountain rocks your world. Sorry Jodi and Josh that I didn't call, but after 14 hours of running around in D Land, and having to leave for Phoenix at 4:00 a.m., all I was thinking about was sleep. We will catch each other soon!

Disneyland or bust! This should be fun, and I hope to return with stories. Stories that will be told after the 12 hours that I have to work on Saturday. Have fun not being in Disneyland everyone :)

The right gesture from the wrong one. I'm not sure how I feel about this yet.

I'm turning into an old lady. Ashley and I spent the evening after watching our picture stories in the recliners knitting. Meg taught me how to knit about a year ago, and that's about how long it's been since I have done it. It should be interesting to see how it turns out. I'm not going to say what I'm making yet, I'll wait and see what it turns out to be before I decide what it is. Also, the soundtrack to Love Actually is very good.

Who has a clean apartment? Oh, it's me.

I know, I'm lame.

Lots of weird high school reunion fun last night. Weird. Fun.

By popular demand, I am posting the "Arizona Barbies" bulletin that I saw on MySpace

Barbie Dolls
Mattel recently announced the release of Limited-Edition Barbie dolls for the Arizona market:

Scottsdale Barbie:
This princess Barbie is only sold at Scottsdale Fashion Center. She comes with an assortment of Kate Spade handbags, a Lexus SUV, a long-haired foreign lapdog named Honey, and a semi-custom dream house with a saguaro Cactus in front. Available with or without tummy tuck and facelift. Workaholic ex-husband Ken comes with squeeze-me Skipper and a Ferrari.

Chandler Barbie:
This modern-day homemaker Barbie is available with Ford Windstar minivan and matching gym suit. She gets lost easily and has no full-time occupation or secondary education. Traffic-jamming cell phone sold separately. Can swear in English or Spanish. Available at Target.

Apache Junction Barbie:
This recently paroled Barbie comes with a 9mm handgun, bowie knife, a 78 El Camino with dark tinted windows, and a meth-lab kit. This model is only available after dark and can only be bought with cash, preferably small bills, unless you are a cop, then we don't know what you are talking about.

Ahwatukee Barbie:
This yuppie Barbie comes with your choice of BMW convertible or HummerH2. Included are her own Starbucks cup, credit card set, and Country Club membership. Also available are Shallow Ken and Private School Skipper. Ahwatukee Barbie hasn't been affordable since the early 80's.

Mesa Barbie:
This pale model comes dressed in her own Wrangler jeans two sizes too small, a classic Metallica shirt, and Tweety Bird tattoo on her shoulder. Wants to major in NASCAR at MCC. She has a six-pack of Coors Light and a Hank Williams, Jr. CD set. She can spit over 5 feet and kick mullet-haired Ken's ass when she is drunk. Purchase her pickup truck separately and get a confederate flag bumper sticker absolutely free. Available at Ross.

El Mirage Barbie:
This tobacco chewing, brassy-haired Barbie has a pair of her own
high-heeled sandals with one broken heel from the time she chased Beer-Gut Ken out of Mesa Barbie's (discontinued) house. Her ensemble includes low-rise acid-washed jeans, fake fingernails, strawberry lip-gloss, and a
see through halter-top. Comes with Barbie's dream doublewide trailer. Available at Wal-Mart. Cheap.

Sedona Barbie:
This collagen injected, rhinoplastic Barbie wears leopard print spandex, and drinks cosmopolitans to new age music with friends at the lodge. She's into crystals. Comes with Percocet prescription and two alimony checks. Also cheap.

Phoenix Barbie:
This Barbie now comes with a stroller and infant doll. Optional
accessories include a G.E.D. and bus pass. Gangsta Ken and his '79 Caddy where available, but are now very difficult to find since the addition of the infant.

Flagstaff Barbie:
This doll is made of actual tofu. She has long straight brown hair,
archless feet, hairy armpits, no makeup, and Birkenstocks with white socks. She prefers that you call her "Willow." She does not want or need a Ken doll, but if you purchase two Flagstaff Barbies and the optional Subaru wagon,you get a rainbow flag sticker for free.

Gilbert Barbie:
Is pregnant, drives a new Ford Excursion and is perfect in every way. We don't know who Ken is because he's always away hunting or in Japan on business. Gilbert Barbie aspires to become Scottsdale Barbie. Not cheap, but still very naive.

Tucson Barbie:
Into basketball and marijuana. Dropped out of PCC. Does nothing but complain about Phoenix Barbie.

Guadalupe Barbie:
This Spanish-speaking-only Barbie comes with a 1984 Toyota with expired temporary plates and three babies in the back, without car seats. This is the only Barbie who is willing to do manual labor. Ken comes in a meat-packer's uniform and is missing three fingers on his left hand. Green cards are not yet available for Guadalupe Barbie or Ken. Available at Food City.

Van Buren Barbie/Ken:
This versatile doll can be easily converted from Barbie to Ken by simply adding or subtracting the "snap-on" parts.

Sun City Barbie/Ken:
These dolls are going fast! Well, what we mean is they're old and don't have much time left. Both write checks for everything or pay in change, and can provide hours of endless repetitive conversation about "The good ol' days." Drives a golf cart, signals right to turn left. Can be seen in Barbie Grocery Store (sold separately) arguing over prices. Available at the doctor's office.

I'm bored. And not just at the current moment, just in general. So, I think that it is time to polish up the old resume and start looking for ways to use my degree as more than a coaster. We'll see how this turns out. Sidenote: I heart Ash, a lot.

Apparently upper respiratory infections can turn into corneal infections in the eye. That sucks. Just when you think that you're getting better, bam! Eyes are infected! Suck on that!

So I got my license plate today, that's pretty exciting.

Rock climbing was super fun. I tagged along with Justin and his friends on a trip to Joshua Tree National Park. I will post pictures soon. I climbed my first wall, and then proceeded to cry almost the entire way back down because I had to go backwards and balance my weight in a really scary way. For a few moments, I contemplated living on the top of that rock for a while. It would have been a good life, nothing is like life at the top of a rock in a beautiful national park.

So, I'm pretty sure that I'm going to do this. I'm not really positive that I can afford it, but I think that it's worth the try. Mom's going to flip!

Cosmos andNip/Tuck. How could this night go wrong?
