the first thought that comes into my mind is you and your friends are all morons. except what you write about your girlfriend- she seems cool- and i know she must be very patient and maternal to put up with your big ego. its okay- i know my role in your life, even when you told me differently, was to give you an escape- a flat in the city- where life was different and sex was great. for you at least.
i still occasionally peruse your blog when i have an inkling of self doubt about moving on from you as quickly as you did me. well- as we both know it was a fabulous decision on your part to sneak around behind my back and be deceptive about both your actions and your intentions.
im sooooo glad that you hate kids and hate the thought of ever having kids because a: as you freely admit, you are way to selfish to ever be a parent, and b: the world doesnt need any more obese children.
when i wanted to gag the first time i saw you in person, that really should have been my first clue that something was not right with this picture. the fact that i was interested in you DESPITE your physicality doesnt speak much for either one of us, as it means i was deceiving myself.
so thanks again for being around when i was too busy to find anyone better or more appropriate for me, and you are welcome for the same thing.
turns out to be a win-win.

this is a very important year
in shoe history. Salvatore Ferragamo invented the wedge heel 70 years ago, in 1937. Also, the Chanel slingback turns 50 years old this year. Celebration!!!
Thank you, fashion fanatic Stacy London, for bringing this very important information into the public light.

i hate spiders
i am DEATHLY afraid of spiders. i will warn everyone up front that i WILL run screaming and very possibly crying across the room, down the street, and into the next county if i see one, eventually landing on the closest Very High Thing... which makes perfect sense, because they cant climb, can they? ... anyways there was a humungo one in the garage today, and being the loving and ever so protective mother i am, i sent kk into the garage with a high powered can of aerosol spot shot to kill it for me. then when she missed and it jsut ran away, i gave her my car keys and taught her how to turn on the ignition jsut far enough to roll up all the windows since of course spiders would rather be inside a nice SUV than anywhere else. who wouldnt, really?
so kk comes back inside, then goes out to the garage half an hour later to get Pink Blanket and tells me its baaaaaaack.
so i have her tell me where, this time i grab the spot shot, since i have excellent aim, and drown the fucker. he curls up in a ball and falls to the floor poisoned... or does he? no, he doesnt. he crawls back up, softly singing nana-nana-boo-boo and i give him another dose of the good stuff. this time he falls and i dont see him get up, then again, i dont see him at all, which means he is probably scurrying into my bedroom as we speak. never mind at this point that half a wall of drywall is drenched with a poisonous and fumes are filling the garage, because there is no reckoning with an arachnophobe under attack.
did i tell you that once i called my mom bawling at 3am to drive across town and kill a spider for me? she did. she smushed it all up in a biiiig paper towel and declared its time of death so i could finally become unparalyzed. at that point she came to hug me and comfort me and i thank her for the huge imposition she let me put on her by punching her and screaming dont you dare come near me with that thing. i didnt mean to hit my mom; it was a completely gutteral reaction. sorry mom.
ohhhh she better not read this blog lol.
anyways, long story short, i hate spiders.
but i love this site... wish she would post more. maybe they broke up, who knows.

my dad
i have to write a special post today- my dad turns 66 and i have to let everyone know how wonderful and fabulous he is. even though he gets on my nerves about the fact that i am a mazillion years old and still cant handle my finances as well as id like to be able to, i love him more than any man on earth and always will. he is how every man should be, in every way, and if i ever meet a man with half the qualities he has, well, i will be out of luck because some other girl will have snapped him up first.
but i keep hope. my mom and dad didnt get married until she was 31 and he was 35. so who knows what the future holds? all i know is i am lucky to have such a great example of how a man should be.
happy birthday dad- i love you!

10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.
11. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make The Passion o f the Christ for financial gain only.

Score:
Points:
1. a. 2 b. 4 c. 6
2. a. 6 b. 4 c. 7 d. 2 e. 1
3. a. 4 b. 2 c. 5 d. 7 e. 6
4. a. 4 b. 6 c. 2 d. 1

9. a. 7 b. 6 c. 4 d. 2 e. 1
10. a. 4 b. 2 c. 3 d. 5 e. 6 f. 1
Now add up the total number of points.
Over 60 points: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care" You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.
51 to 60 points: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.
41 to 50 points: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.
31 to 40 points: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful and practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest...Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.
21 to 30 points: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.
Under 21 points: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything. They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

wednesday night tradition
during the summer has become blogging during commercial breaks of top chef. so not really any flow to follow but oh well. i know that predictability is not one of my top 5 best features ;)
ok so i am getting nauseous (one of my hardest words to remember how to spell) thinking about having teeth ripped out of my jaw tomorrow. im very excited but i also freak out at anything dental ever since my dentist tried to kill me 18 years ago. so i am trying to keep myself distracted so i dont overthink anything going into tomorrow.
i jsut feel like commenting right now, maybe talkin a little trash, or who knows- if i talk long enough i may have some kind of epiphany or say something brilliant (dont hold your breath) :P lots of side notes and brain wanders in this blog, yes? (and lots and lots of parentheses!!!)
i am going to go to the top 5 search movers and see what kind of disasters people care about these days:
1. High School Musical 2: Loved the first one- have seen it several times. HSM2 debuts Friday night on the Disney channel and I am going to watch it with kk and however many of her friends want to watch it with us. Troy Bolton is so dreamy... but i still wont let kk get HSM clothes with his face all over them!
2. Consumer Product Safety Commission: Um- how much are we paying these people to jsut find lead in toys now?!? OK to any of you who saw the story about chinese food vendors stuffing cardboard and mixed paper into hamburger buns to save money- im sure you are not surprised by lead paint on toys. No one can keep our kids or us safe all the time- but this was a pretty major oversight. if they can put powder in a tube and mix it with something and if it is cocaine it turns blue like on COPS, you would think they would have some easy kind of test for lead in paint. DUH!
3. Roz Savage: OK i didnt know who this was until just now. I googled her name and came up with some one-legged woman who sailed across the Atlantic alone or soemthing. Boo. Do something really impressive- like find room in my budget for car insurance. kidding folks, kidding.
4. Tropical Storm Erin: Glad I dont live anywhere where stuff like that happens. It is nice and calm up here... where we await The Big One. who knows if it will happen in our lifetimes. not something i care to dwell about. Anyways back to Erin. i jsut dont think i could live somewhere where my home was pounded over and over and over. How many times can you repair and move ahead? I know myself well enough to figure it would beat me down after time. Hope everyone stays safe and this is a little tiny thing that fizzles out by the time it gets to my texan beauty queen.
5. Graceland Mansion: Its being renovated or remodeled and Elvis fans cant go tour most of it to celebrat the anniversary of hir birth or death or something. Yawn.
This is really the 5th most searched term on the web? Its a sad sad world we live in.
OK off to drink a little lemonade as my last thing before surgery. wish me luck!

im sleepy
but i cant sleep. that has been the problem alot lately. i go to bed at a very decent hour hoping to catch up on sleep but end up never being able to fall asleep. at this point, 1147pm, i have been in bed an hour and a half with no luck. so i thought i would get up, do some stretching, write a short note here, and try again.
its very frustrating not being able to sleep...
ok enough complaining- whoever prayed, prayed loudly! my neck is about 80% better than it was yesterday so i am very thankful for that.
here is a pic for you! kk wavejumping in the ocean on our spring break trip to ocean shores.
