Hey, I'm a loser!

2007-11-05T11:52:00.000-08:00

Joined myspace and even though I don't blog on there, I seem to BE on there a lot. So I have been forgetting to check blogs and write blogs.
So here's the happs...
coopercards is doing well. We are advertising on NAM now so check it out!
Biff and I are still having fun, right Biff?
MINIs rule my life.
Working at my new location is a dream come true. :)
That's all for now.

Later!

Oh yes...

2007-09-19T18:01:00.000-07:00

Fun with Illustrator

2007-08-23T19:59:00.001-07:00

Learning a new program and Biff is so bored while I am amused for hours on end.

My New Phone

2007-08-16T09:20:00.001-07:00

Ain't it schnazzy?

so tired

2007-08-02T20:41:00.000-07:00

of all the inconsiderate assholes who work in my building with me.

of all the smokers dumping their ashtrays in parking lots.

of people leaving trash anywhere they damn please.

of people who smoke right near doorways when the law now prohibits it.

of the roofers working at my condos who left pop cans and snack wrappers all over my patio.

of the rich assholes buying fancy townhouses next door who think they have the right to park in OUR covered spots whenever they come to visit.

of people driving so sloooow in the left lanes of freeways/ highways, etc.

just tired. this world is going to hell. no one can save us. people are too busy having tons of kids they ignore and doing tons of drugs.

When did it become cool to go to jail or rehab?

What is this?

2007-08-02T09:06:00.003-07:00

Biff thinks it's a taco man. I think it's a lemon wedge.

Slacking again

2007-07-22T23:07:00.001-07:00

Sorry I never post anything anymore.

Here's what's new:
Just got back from visiting Biff's relatives in Chicago and Wisconsin. It was a great trip! Very relaxing to hang out on the lake for a couple of days and then off to the city to sightsee. Good times!

Now Bifford and I are getting ready to sell coopercards at MITM, MINIs in the Mountains in Colorado.
We will start retailing the cards at the local MINI dealer this month as well.

Then I move to my new salon and August is done.

Whew! I am busy!

Tomorrow my friend C and I are going to check out Sarah Jessica Parker's clothing line Bitten at the Steve and Barry's onb the Wesssside. Should be fun.
:)

Later kids.

Weird

2007-07-04T09:27:00.000-07:00

This morning I woke up from some crazy ass dreams which starred two of my ex boyfriends, Justin and Ryan.
Then I get up and get a text message from Justin saying Happy 4th and then right after one from another ex Brian saying Happy 4th.
Weird shit, eh?
By the way, in the dream I had purchased a black Passat that was right hand drive. ??? I woke up SO happy to know that I still had my little Nugget.

I'm clean!

2007-06-28T11:14:00.000-07:00

No really!
You should see how many different types of shower gel I have in that shower!

Mint Chocolate Chip from Philosophy.
Oatmeal Cookie from TIGI.
Hot Chocolate from Bath and Body Works.
Love Spell from Vicki Secret.
Pink Lemonade from TIGI.

Told ya!

Smell me!

Oh, the HORRA!

2007-06-27T21:53:00.000-07:00

Anyone who knows me knows the deep emotional connection I have for Marsha Marsha Marshmallow Ice Cream by Ben and Jerry's. Right? Right.
Well the other day I was in Safeway perusing the frozen food treats when I noticed with extreme HORROR that it was NOT THERE!!!
There was S'mores in it's place.
I read the descrip and found it to be the same. So I bundled "my precious" into my MINI and motored home to indulge.
It's the SAME thing! Just a new name!
Why would they change the name? I do not know. But as long as there is a flavor such as that, I am happy.
So get out there and buy buy buy so they don't get rid of it all together!

OK, still waiting for Brianna and Janna to do a MEEZ.com picture. I know they would rock. Come on, even my Dad did one.

Oh, I bought a bathing suit. A suit that kinda looks like a short party dress. It's cool. I might actually let another human see me in it. :)

Getting ready to go visit Chi-town in a few weeks. It'll be FUN!

Getting coopercards ready to sell at the MINI dealership. :))

Getting ready to move to a new salon studio too. Lots to do.

Then getting ready to go to MITM at Copper Mt. Whew. Busy summer!

Cookie Diet

2007-05-10T16:36:00.000-07:00

Just read this thing about the cookie diet where you only eat one meal a day, dinner, and you have six cookies that have all sorts of amino acids and whaetgrass or some shit in tem. They are not good cookies, not the ones I want to eat.
I propose we start the devil dog, ding dong, or SuzyQ diet. This is a diet I know I would stick to.
:)

Trying

2007-05-09T21:01:00.000-07:00

Ever since I bought the elliptical machine I have really put some effort into consistently working out. Recently a client of mine dropped off some exercise videos for me to try.
I have been alternating doing at least 20 minutes on the elliptical every other day and the next day doing a video. I am working up to 30 minutes on the machine.
Tonight's selection...45 minutes of Gunnar Peterson's Core Secrets. How those women, his back up ballers :), keep their smiles plastered on is beyond me. I was doing anything but. In fact I was doing quite the opposite of smiling. Not quite a frown, more of a grimace with some tears thrown in for good measure.
Sp after a grueling session where I almost toppled over several times, the horror ended. Now I sit here, covered in a film of my own sweat, NOT Biff's, and I wonder.....will it help? Is it worth it?
I'll keep you posted.
BTW, Victoria's Secret thong underwear does NOT stay put whilst you wiggle around on a ball of sunshine dust.
Peasout.

hello there old chappy

4 Steps away

2007-05-03T19:40:00.000-07:00

You know that six degrees of separation game? Well today I found out that I am 4, that's right FOUR steps away from Christina Aguilera.
My client Kara is doing an internship with Geffen records and actually works for that guy Ron Fair who was the producer of Christina's last album.
ME
Kara
Ron
Xtina

In fact, I could be 4 steps away from anyone he has produced, like Vanessa Carlton, the Pussycat Dolls, Fergie, and soon to be working with Ashlee Simpson.

I will allow you to speak to me.

Two posts for the price of one!

2007-04-29T23:05:00.000-07:00

ok, so I read Wicked and wasn't really feeling it. I should probably reread it because I may have missed all the subtle humor and sarcasm that I am now enjoying immensely in Son of a Witch, the sequel to Wicked.
So go on out there and read it. Biff bought it for me as a present and I wasn't sure I would even read it since the first one didn't really do it for me, but I picked it up and now I can't put it down.
BTW, the musical Wicked was great! Very funny and entertaining. I recommmend that as well. :)
Nite!

So I said, "AAAAAAAAAaaaaaAAAAAA"

2007-04-29T22:50:00.000-07:00

Something entered my MINI tonight via my hair highway. I opened the door to get out and something like THIS flew in. It flew into my hair and came to rest on my dash in the corner by the driver's windshield.
I was freaking out because anyone who knows me surely knows how I feel about large flying insects.
See when the flying roach flew into my hair.
See when the flying roach was in my home.
See when the large moth flew into my MINI.
See all of the above and know me better.
So I call Biff and I'm all hyperventilating. So he tells me to grab a RAG AND GO UP TO IT AND KILL IT!! Hello? We have a baaaad connection if you really think THAT is going to happen.
So I grab my car duster from the back and proceed to "throw" it onto the dash. The thing doesn't move. Then I have to go in there and GET IT OUT! So I go in there and get the duster out and throw it again.
Then Bifford says, "Just push the duster onto him hard and shake him out of it."
So I do that and the moth goes flying up into the light fixture above my car. I run to shut my doors and then I look for it again and I don't see it so I assume it has flown back into the MINI and then Biff says you're crazy he just flew away.
We shall see in the morning I guess. If I'm driving down the road and it taps me on the shoulder, I AM OUTTA THERE!!!

It's been awhile since my last confession...

2007-04-24T09:46:00.000-07:00

I haven't really felt like blogging. Probably because I think somehow people are reading this that I never thought would find it. Makes me censor myself unfortunately. Not that I ever say anyhting that salacious or note worthy.

So what's new with Dee?

Biff is going to MINIs on the Dragon next weekend to sell some of our coopercards. We have been very busy boxing them up and deciding how to ship them there.

We have been eating out like every day and getting very fat in the process.

I bought an elliptical machine that will be here in less than 4 hours.

My friend told me that I should have a one year, two year, five year plan and I don't at all. I live day to day. Is that wrong?

My neighbor is moving and I am glad I can bang my closet shut at 3 am if I feel like it.

I have Curious George gel pens.

I'm dehydrated...aaack.

I need to buy batteries for my new camera and actually take pictures. Of my MINI preferably.

That is all. Discuss.

Weekend

2007-04-09T09:01:00.000-07:00

I have decided to spare my little buddy his vet appt. His annual is really not due til May, so he gets a reprieve til then.

In other news, I went to a drag show on Friday night. It was kinda horrible except for two guys (gals). One was totally skinny like most performers are now a days and she was all over the place. Jumping up on the bar, chatting with the crowd, etc. Very entertaining. The other one stayed on the stage and in true stripper style (i've heard ;)) had the men and women come to HER for dances.
All in all an interesting night. I'm pretty sure when we walked in that they all looked at us and said STRAIGHT! Can't help it, I am.
:)
Then on Sunday Biff and I hung out with some peeps. Get it? PEEPS! On Easter??? :)
Later......

Sorry little buddy

2007-04-06T09:05:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I feel like a God.

Simply because I can look into Dusty's furry little face and I know what is going to happen to him on Tuesday at 3 pm.

He has no idea.

I am the puppet master, I am the fortune teller.
It's going to be a BAD day for him and he sleeps innocently at my feet with no clue.
It's sad really.

He is going to his least favorite place in the whole world. Anywhere but here. I have no idea how I am going to trick him into a carrier this time. It's harder every year. I used to put a treat in the cat carrier and he would run in. Then I had to use real tuna. Then that got old so I put him in the laundry basket and covered it with an old piece of plexiglass I had lying around. (Doesn't everyone have an old piece of plexiglass lying around?) He was doing his mime routine and staring me down.
It was amusing.
The last couple of times I put him in the plastic laundry hamper. This was great fun because I had to trap him like a wild animal and then scoot it up a tad and shove the lid on there. Then flip it right side up and tape it shut. Actually Biff helped me with this manuever. And when I say "helped me" I mean he did it while I cringed in terror.
I don't know if that will work this year but I am going to try it.
Any other suggestions?

The excitement is KILLING you!

2007-03-28T22:32:00.000-07:00

Back from AMVIV which was fun, but tiring. I need a vacation from my vacation. Sigh.
Broke even on the cards which is pretty cool for the debut. Sold 47 boxes. I got a lot of great feedback and learned a lot about what the people liked and disliked. I learned that we need to revamp our packaging structure because it was just too hard to have to explain it everytime.
A huge thanks to Detroit Tuned and Rogue MINIs for letting us use your booth space. :)

Now, the other stuff...
Thursday after driving and selling some, I went to the Rio with the gang sans Biff and was treated to the buffet by M & G. Thank you from this broke lady.
Then Friday we got up early and sat at the booth all day until the strip cruise. 400 MINIs cruised and some boys in an SUV waved a blow up doll at us. That made me giggle mucho.
Saturday we get up early and sit at the booth all day (and Tuls makes me laugh so hard I almost peepee) until the banquet. I didn't win anything. :( The desserts were great! :)
Sunday Biff gets up super early (6 am!!!) and I rest for another 2 hours before going to see some peeps off and planning to do the scavenger hunt which was hilarious fun! Then we hung out with the Rogues a bit before meeting the others at Treasure Island for the (strip) show. Then we had a very grown up, civilized dinner at the Venetian before running for 10 minutes to the shuttle. I got to meet Biff's brother which was surreal.
Monday morning we left.

Back to liiiife, back to realityyyyy.

...

2007-03-16T09:09:00.001-07:00

Almost time for AMVIV! I am sooo excited! Hope we sell all our cards.

Coopercards!

Thanks to all who made it out to my little soiree last night! It made my bday bearable. Usually it's a tear fest, but I didn't shed one.
Great to see those I don't see too often. You know who you are.

Raise your hands if you are sick of hearing about the Oscars!!!!
*me raising them both to the sky*
I am sick of the pictures, the after party gossip and pictures, the f-ing designer gowns, the skinny bitches...
SICK OF IT ALL.

Now, on to better news. I got free tickets to see Christina Aguliera tonight from friend Ch. Thanks girl! You rock!!!
After much ado about nothing, Biff has decided to join me. He realized, I am sure, that it was a great opportunity to ogle hot women all night without having to pay for a lap dance or meet the 2 drink minimum. Harharhar.
It will be fun!

On my way to work now. Not really looking forward to it after having 4 days in a row off, but whatever.

:)

Did you know...

2007-02-25T06:17:00.000-08:00

...that Girl Scout cookies expire like two days after you purchase them?!?!?!

It's true.

They become disgusting.

So you really MUST eat them all ASAP.

It's not that I WANT to, it's that I HAVE to.

To avoid the grossness you see...

Happy Val Day

It's Been Awhile

2007-02-06T19:11:00.000-08:00

What have I been doing?
Wellllllllll, the usual MINI club activities which now seem to involve going to Paul's bar and singing karaoke. Yes, I have been singing. The fans seem to like it. For example, a couple of weeks ago a scary, older biker chick kissed me on the neck after a song. Then this last weekend, a very large and in charge gal told me I was simply beautiful. It's these people who inspire me to continue. Yes, these people.
Biff and I made it through the stupor bowl without breaking up! That was an important milestone, says Janna Banana.
His new townhouse will be ready to house him in a week or so. I am very sad about his imminent departure. I know I am supposed to be all understanding about him moving forward with his life, which has been in limbo for 2 years or so, but I wish he could understand how hard this will be for me. I've become accustomed to his presence. Hopefully we will be ok even with him living 20 minutes away and not around all the time.
What else? I am working on a visionary board. A client of mine told me about this class she is taking at ASU where they discuss the power of positive visualization. It occurred to me that not only am I too pessimistic about the future, but that I had grown completely "satisfied" in the sense that I feel it's wrong to WANT more than I have so I have tried not to NEED more. It is not wrong to want things in life whether they be tangible things or emotional needs. I have decided to "go for it" and make my own board. On it: beach pix (cuz I love the beach and have not seen sand for over 5 years), a really cute house (historic home in Phoenix), a new MINI (for someday), and pix of places I want to visit, like Australia, London, Amsterdam, and Greece. I also included words like love, commitment, peace, etc. Still working on the thing. I know Biff is just rolling his eyes right now, but screw him! :)
This has been wordy so I shall go. I would like you all to think about what would be on YOUR visionary board. Share in my comments if you would like.

Last night Dusty the Wonder Cat unrolled an entire roll of new paper towels. It was really fun, I am sure. I think he is trying to tell me something. Here is what it could be:

1. Mommy, I need more attention.
2. Mommy, I get that "not so fresh feeling" sometimes.
3. Mommy, I hate you with every fiber of my being.

Well, I'm gonna go with #2 because there have been a few incidents with rubbing one's backside on the carpet.

Happy New Year ya'll.

Goodies

2006-12-26T14:01:00.000-08:00

I got some goodies for Hanukkah! 8 crazy nights leads to 8 fun gifts! Here is some of my booty.

2 CDs
a calendar
a fuzzy blankie for the couch
an iFish
2 books
a puzzle
a shirt

cool huh? Even a bonus gift in there for good behavior.

Plus some cold hard cash from the 'rents.

Somebunny fonds me. :)

Here We Go

2006-12-21T20:16:00.000-08:00

Remember when I was talking about moving my salon?
Well my Mom is so totally against this. She is of the old school where what you know is safe and change is bad.
She came in for an appointment yesterday and said that maybe the management would "change their minds" and be willing to negotiate. I said they wouldn't, they won't go down at all and what I pay now is too much. "Well did you ask them again?" No, they have a business to run and want as much money for the rooms as possible. "Well maybe if I help you out each month." NO! I am 35 years old and my decision is if I can't afford it, I don't need it!

Geez!

So I hope the room I liked will work out and still be available come summer since that is when my lease is up. I am scared to leave the familiar, but I know that worrying each month about making the rent is going to end. Maybe in the next 7 months I will find something else also that would be even better.
I am also really looking forward to decorating a new place. :)

Not for work...turn sound up

2006-12-18T10:20:00.000-08:00

A must see! This is what Biff got me!

Slacker

2006-12-11T12:36:00.000-08:00

OK yeah, I know I have been a blog slacker lately. A lot has been going on and I just haven't had the time to write much.

Recently traveled to Tucson for the MINI club holiday party. It was a fun day which ended up with a bunch of us at Paul's bar in Mesa where I did some Karaoke with T and her daughter S. Mainly country songs but today I though, why not Metallica? So I will be checking for that next time. If Biff allows there to BE a next time. Although I am not sure how much he heard since he was playing pool the whole time.

Hung out with Bri the other day. It was so good to see her! We don't get "live" chats very often. We also watched some L word which is always fun. Plus I got to see her panties. :)-

Our old friend Matt is coming to town this weekend. As always the MINIs have some events planned that he will surely enjoy. :) I plan to have him ride around with me a bit so he can enjoy my new exhaust and whiptastic handling.

Hmmm, what else? Well I think I am finally done shopping for Biff. It is so fun to shop for him. I cannot WAIT to give him his gifts! I think there is only one item he may be iffy on. Everything else he should LOVE.

Biff and I sent out some holiday cards together. I know, can you BELIEVE it? I guess he isn't as skeered of me anymore. Until he reads this however. Then the fear will return.

Missing all my absent friends and those who aren't around much.
Happy Days.

beta blogging? why?

2006-12-05T09:25:00.000-08:00

I was under the impression we HAD to change to this beta blogger thing, but signing in to comment on other's blogs is such a hassle, I keep wondering why I had to change. Anyone else having a problem?

I have NO idea what to eat for breakfast.
Biff took my waffles with him this morning. I had just bought those yesterday!

A few of my friends, clients and I were having a conversation about mistresses. Meaning the name a woman is called when she is a girlfriend of a married man.
We tried to figure out if there was a title for a man dating a married woman. When we could not find one we thought it best to make one up.

Some suggestions:
Man whore
Misteress
Masterer
My pick: Cockubine

Please add your own.

Advice please

Here is the situation:
I have worked at this beauty mall for almost 5 years. I have my own private suite there and really prefer that situation to the "have a chair in the middle of a loud, busy salon" situation.

My current contract is not up until August 31, 2007. I was told by the manager that the rates are going up in January for anyone renewing a contract in 2007. He "gave me a chance to get in on the 2006 prices" by giving me one week to decide to resign now for 3 years with the rate to go up in August. These cheaper prices are not necessarily bad compared to the 2007 prices he mentioned. The thing is, do I really want to spend another 3 years paying what may be a fair price to some but is a little overwhelming for me?

I have been quizzing my clients about how far they would travel to a new place and such. A few seem to think I should just stay there and work more hours to cover the difference in price. The difference is not necessarily the problem. The others said they would go wherever I went. But what if they hate it?

I did some research and found out that the prices near my place for nail booth rental are pretty comparable to what I pay now (a little less in some cases) but what I have (privacy, security, a door I can lock at night) is so worth the extra.
I do not want to work in a big salon with a hair dresser to my right and another nail tech at my elbow.

So I found this cute, old, not as nice as I have now, but still cute row of suites 3 miles away from where I am now. It is not as nice as where I am now. Meaning it doesn't have a large lobby area with a waiting room and a pop machine and a large bathroom. It is basically a little houses split into 3 rooms with a little bathrooms in the middle. There are 3 or 4 little buildings. They are very old school but I could totally decorate my little space very cute. The room would be a little smaller too.

Here is the deal:
It is $200 less each month.

Now that I found this place and cannot move in right away, I have several options.

1.Sign 3 more years where I am at the "cheaper rates."

2. Do not resign now and wait til August to decide whether or not to stay and pay $80 more per month if I decide to stay. Risking the cheaper place being rented to someone else.

3. Ask to get out of my current lease or see if they can rent the room early and get the new room sooner.

4. Wait until August to see what else is out there. Do nothing.

Any help would be great or just use this as good reading. :)-

And so on

2006-11-21T06:49:00.000-08:00

The crazy stalker girl came back yesterday. Biff and I were watching TV and the bell rings. No one ever just stops by so I knew it was "her" immediately. I sneak up to the door and look out the peephole. She is standing there wiping her eyes. Looked like she was crying.
We tiptoed to the bathroom to decide what to do. After much debate about just how psycho she is, we decided to do nothing. Then...the phone rings.
It's her, of course, leaving some message about how she saw my car there and where am I? She doesn't understand why I haven't been in touch with her.
I feel really sorry for any man that dates her if this is what she is like after they decide not to call again.

Obviously this problem is NOT going to go away by itself so any suggestions? I do not have her email address but could find out where she lives pretty easily thanks to the internet and the fact that she owns a home.

The Girls

2006-11-07T19:28:00.000-08:00

I bet you thought after reading the title that this post would be about my boobs. ( @ ) ( @ )

Well, it's not. It's about The GILMORE Girls.

It's about the fact that one of the most fashionable, witty, and campy shows on TV has become absolute drivel. I knew things would change with the whole "writers leaving blah blah blah crap", but I had NO IDEA!
Seriously, I went into the kitchen to clean up dinner and Biff yells out, "It's back on!" and ya know what? I kept on wiping the counter. I casually strode back in and found that I had missed nothing except another diatribe by Kirk who really should not get airtime.
Will I continue to watch the show and pretend that the lack of chemistry between Christopher and Lorelai is actually just my imagination? Will I continue to pretend to be amused by the 2 minutes Lane gets each show? Or should I just wait for it's inevitable demise whilst watching my Pilates videos over and over again between 7-8 every Tuesday?

Yeah, this should have been about my bouncy, firmish boobies.

My opinion on "recap" shows

2006-11-02T13:47:00.000-08:00

I think they suck.

I watched ANTM last night with trepidation running through my veins as to which favorite of mine would be exterminated. Then I realized with horror and a shout of agony that it was one of those horrid episodes where they recap the season and show you the deleted scenes than you never wanted to see.
I didn't need any more evidence that Monique was a ghetto whore or that Anchal has an overeating problem. I personally think she looks great body-wise.
Anyway, so no new ex-supermodel hopefuls to report.
WhatEVER!

Halloween party

2006-10-30T18:58:00.000-08:00

Went to a faaaabulous Halloween party this weekend. I had sooo much fun! It was at Trace's house and at around midnight the cops showed up! We left around 2 am. It ain't a party til the cops show up ya know. So we can be very proud of ourselves. I was BatGirl if your can't tell. I actually won a prize for Best Costume. :)

Quick ANTM update

2006-10-30T18:51:00.000-08:00

Does anyone care? Just wondered.
Well, they voted Brooke off and I'm kinda sad to see the lil white girl who raps go. She was very naive, young, and fun to make fun of. Please excuse my dangling participle.
It's a crying game, I mean shame that Jaeda is still there. All she does is cry about her hair. For fuck's sake! If that is the only thing that made ou pretty, you better go get yo self some extensions but quick just as soon as you get voted off. Hopefully that will happen this Wednesday.
Later kids...

He stares longingly into my eyes. His whiskers tickle my nose. He gently moves my hand away from my face and rubs his cheek against mine.
Say my name.
He says meow.

Great site!

Speaking of

2006-10-18T20:25:00.000-07:00

ANTM, A.J. is out.
I am perplexed by this. How could boring ass Jaeda still be in the running and the amazing A.J. gone?
So now I must pick a new fave, but it seems to be a jinx. So I guess I'll pick Jaeda cuz then she'll go home fo sho.
Other than that, the whole coming out thing was not very interesting. Michelle is "unsure of her sexuality." Alrighty then.
Yeah so I went a little link crazy! Deal biyatch!

America's Next Top MINI

2006-10-18T20:20:00.000-07:00

Look at the body language. She seems to be saying, "Yes, I'm fierce!" Her eyes are twinkling with happiness and her angles are very complimentary. Fine job! You're still in the running to become America's Next Top MINI.

Ever eat at Zoe's?

2006-10-16T21:44:00.000-07:00

I love this place. It's cheap, healthy, and cool.
The decor is fab. The food is good. What more could you want?

I'm Alive!

2006-10-16T13:53:00.000-07:00

I survived Friday the 13th! I just worked all day and nothing exciting happened at all. Good thing, cuz we don't want "Vegas Dee" making an appearance on some psycho's ass!

I have been slacking on my ANTM updates so I will just sum last week's show up in one quick sentence.
Meg went home and I don't care. :0-

This week however, one of the twins is going to admit that she's bisexual. Should be interesting as all the other girls, who are young and naive will probably assume that means she is going to try to "do" them all. Yeah, doesn't quite work that way, but good try.

This weekend I went to Mt.Graham near Tucson which is a really fun twisty road that takes you up to the clouds. I had a groovy time, but came home and found out that I'm not as young as I once was. Meaning I had NO energy to go out on Saturday night. Biff however is like the energizer bunny. So I hauled my sleepy ass out to the convertible and we went on a little drive/scavenger hunt.
He keeps me on pointe.

Sunday we went to the fair with Janndrew. It was fun wandering around for 4 hours and eating various "bad foods." I had a corn dog, a fried twinkie, some kettle corn, and some of Biff's cotton candy. Big day for me!
Yeah, I got my ass on the elliptical bright and early this morning.
Laters......

Greeaaaaaaat

2006-10-12T08:20:00.001-07:00

Dear Dee,
Here is your horoscope
for Friday, October 13:

A part of your past involving a female relative or some female energies becomes a pressing matter. Part of you wants to pull the covers over your head, but go deep. You'll come out of this with a new point of view.

Let me give you some background as to who this might be about. I have this old friend we'll call Elsa. Let's just say she is not all there. She has been stalking me in a way. Numerous texts, calls and uninvited door knockings. I, of course do not answer any of these attempts. After about 2 months of this happening every third Friday I thought she might get the hint and go away. But she hasn't and now I am just worried about confronting her at all.
I just hope that this is not indicative of a little mental breakdown for her. She does tend to strike on Friday nights. Note to self: Do not be home and have car with you.

My New Shoes

2006-10-10T22:12:00.000-07:00

Now what to wear them with?

Haha

2006-10-06T09:42:00.000-07:00

This made me crack up and yes, I know it's wrong!

Update ANTM

2006-10-06T09:06:00.000-07:00

OK, forget everything you have read about ANTM here. After Wednesday's show, I have a new fave.
A.J.
I think she is awesome! She looks good, has that gawkiness they like. She can walk. It's all good.
More later on this great episode.

Yes, Lisa...it's true

2006-10-02T08:56:00.000-07:00

I DID go to Pinetop this weekend and drive on the infamous highway 666 or 191. I DID have a great time with 30+ MINIs from AZ and New Mex. I DID enjoy the twisties and the cameraderie. These things are all true. I also DID kick Trace's ass in said twisties even though she will blame her tardiness behind me on her new windshield. Yeah, I didn't see her back there for a bit. HA!
Anyway...it was great and now it is back to the real world again.
Later for now.

2006-09-27T21:00:00.000-07:00

Something unusual happened today.
I was proven wrong.
I don't know why it had to happen.
But it did.

Megan was voted off ANTM.

I don't know WHO to root for now. Maybe Brooke or Melrose. I cannot live in a world that would allow Monique, the bitch to win. If that happens, the world will have to end.

Sigh.

It can't be!

2006-09-27T20:53:00.000-07:00

Here it is

2006-09-25T08:52:00.001-07:00

ANTM recap.
So now that I have actually watched the first show I think I will stand by my Megan prediction. The girl is cute if not a little piggy-noseish.
This one bitch on there is just a complete brat! The one girl who stole the other girl's bed. WTF? No manners at all (and that is encouraged btw).
Melrose seems cool, but is doing this whole mother hen thing that is totally (needed) annoying.
I am so tired right now I cannot think of anything else to add.
Wednesday's show should be GREAT! It's makeover time! This is the show that will make or break em. Remember Jade from last season? They cut off her fro and died it blond. She hated it (HA!) and I think it took her down a (needed) notch.
Later kids.

Wanna Be On Top? (again?)

2006-09-18T20:21:00.000-07:00

Hopefully you enjoyed the long hot summer filled with reruns cause it's baaaack!
ANTM!
Stay tuned to hear my views on everything from the bitches to the bitching.

In true Dee fashion I will now name (sight unseen, mind you) who I think will be the winner. Don't worry though, I am never right. I mean last year I thought Nnenna was the clear winner but she was axed after like 6 episodes. I'm gonna go with Megan. Remember I have not seen the show yet. I am basing this on nothing. This year they have some ugly twins on. I hope they get axed right away.
I also can't wait to see all the "My Life as a Cover Girl" commercials with Danielle, the last winner. I wonder if they sent her to a speech pathologist or something. Should be "inneresting, mmmhmmm" if nothing else. "Shut yo mouf!" No really, I LOVED her! She was very cool and totally deserved it.

Be there Wednesday for the two hour premiere.

Twinkies!

2006-09-16T15:12:00.000-07:00

Maybe I am the last person on earth to hear about this Twinkie Cookbook, but it is so cool! I haven't had a Twinkie in about 10 years, but now I want to make these Twinkie pancakes. I am sure they will be very decadent. OK, they'll probably be gross. I'm doin it anyway!

iFish

2006-09-14T20:07:00.000-07:00

I have stumbled upon a new obsession. I have been creating little pictures with fish in them. Nothing is sacred, computers, minis, whatever, they have been my tools.
Biff thinks I'm insane. Brianna says "dear Jesus", Janna thinks I have gone too far, but she luvs me anyway. What do I have to do to prove I am an artiste with a valid need for self expression?
I shall post one of my creations here. I believe it is truly divine.

Macquarium

2006-09-13T19:39:00.000-07:00

So as a few of you know, I have an old iMac that is not functioning. I am going to build (or Biff is) a macquarium. I will then have a little fish that I might name Hubert Cumberdale. Cool eh?

awwwwwwwwwwwwww

Bathroom Pix :)

2006-09-10T08:20:00.000-07:00

Wot up

2006-09-09T18:51:00.000-07:00

I went roller skating last night for the first time in eons. I did pretty good, but fell down hard a couple of times. The first time was all me, but the second time was because someone was trying to skate in between me and Trace. MARK!!!! Anyway, it was fun.
Biff is certainly good on skates. He can do all sorts of footwork. Is there ANYTHING that man can't do?

In other news, my bathroom is almost complete. I got my shower curtain and it is amazing. Found some bright orange towels at Target and aqua rugs. It is truly a work of art! All it needs is a new towel bar and some art on the wall. Sigh. I love my bathroom.

WICKED!!!

2006-09-03T16:41:00.000-07:00

Biff and I waited on line this morning and they picked us!!! Well, they picked him, but he won two tickets!!
We just got home from the show. It was GREAT!!!

Tuesday, bloody tuesday

2006-08-29T21:16:00.000-07:00

Today I gave blood for the first time. I'm not gonna lie and say it didn't hurt, cuz it kinda did. Then I got a little nauseated. Then I got some apple juice and cookies.
I'm a hero though, according to the guy. Yep, little old me just saved two lives. That's right. :)
Then they give you a sticker to wear that says "Be nice to me. I gave blood today." So even Biff was nice to me. ;)
BTW, I think I might start calling Dusty the cat "Puff Dusty". Just a thought. He is rather puffy.

OH!! And I ordered my shower curtain finally. The orange towels really work in the bathroom. Yippee! I am iffy on the orange rugs though. Thinking of aqua rugs. The rugs don't have to match the towels, do they? Or is that match the curtains? hahahaha...anyhoo.

Big shout outs to the Tamster and Paul E. Thanks for reading.:)

My Big Fat Weekend

2006-08-27T20:55:00.000-07:00

Well I am just BEAT! What a weekend!
Friday night Biff and I had a splendid dinner with Janna and Andrew at Redfish then motored around town to research our next event. We ended up at my place watching Salad Fingers episodes 1-7 which led to Janna and I re-enacting the episodes for the rest of the night. I can't really stop talking like him and Biff is sick of it. He can do the walk perfectly though.

Then I worked a half day Saturday and continued the quest for a shower curtain and towels.
Biff and I went to a couple of places and I finally broke down and bought a stripey curtain and lime green rugs and towels. I get all this mess home and we put it in there and it looks horrible! The green was all washed out but the curtain was ok. Then I checked my mail and had received my sample of the koi goldfish shower curtain!!! As soon as I put it next to the wall I knew it was the one I would have to get. The vibrant colors of the fish told me that my instinct to use orange towels and rugs was spot on. So I will be returning the whole mess and trying to find towels to match this orange fish now. Target had some Biff thought would be perfect.
Then Saturday night we went to a surprise bday party for Brianna. I got to meet all the people she is always talking about and they did not disappoint. It was an amusing evening, but we left around midnight. I am so tired at this point I can barely converse with Biff.

I knew I had to get up early for the MINI club fun run and BBQ today, so I went right to bed. Needless to say I was still awfully tired at 8 am when the alarm rudely interrupted my rest. I called Biff and said I didn't think I could go. He told me to think about it. Then I decided it would be fun and I would go to bed early tonight instead. So I went, had a great time and plan to retire shortly after I finish writing thisszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Pillow Talk

2006-08-25T08:43:00.000-07:00

As usual during one of bouts of insomnia, I had a moment of clarity and genius.
I have decided to name my owl pillow "Woodsy Owllen".
A play on Woody Allen and Woodsy Owl.
Yes, I know. You can't believe how clever, talented, and funny I am.
I can hardly believe it myself.

sorry

2006-08-23T23:10:00.000-07:00

I have no camera so I cannot post pix, but I need some advice.
Do I go with orange towels and a goldfish theme or do something more predictable, like a bluish green shower curtain and ? towels. Help!
I kinda like the goldfish idea. :)

Ten years ago

2006-08-21T08:39:00.000-07:00

...this month, I moved into my litle condo. Ten years ago I thought this was just a stepping stone to a bigger place with a possible man and family involved.

Oh, how the time's have a changed.

I am quite happy living in my little place in the city with all the freedom in the world. I am also 5 minutes away from everything I desire. Well, almost everything. ;)
For the last 5 or 6 years I have been playing what if.
What if I painted the kitchen celery green?
What if I had my dream aqua bathroom?
What if I had some time, energy and friends to make this happen?

That time was yesterday. Those friends were my Mom and Biff. That bathroom is AQUA with a capital WOW. That kitchen is the zest of a lime.
That dream is a reality.

It did not come easy though. The second I slapped on the first bit of green in the kitchen I thought, "I've made a HUGE mistake." (yes, said in my head in true GOB fashion for you Arrested Development fans)
I calmly walked into my bedroom and began crying. My Mom came in and said what is wrong. I said I hate it. She said you are just going to have to get used to it. You have been seeing white walls in here for ten years. She is right in a way. I think the reaction would have been less if I had not gone so extreme with these colors. They are a "little" "bright". But I guess I let everyone else's opinions of what colors to use drown out my little "let's do a lite celery green and a teeny tiny light aqua".
I'm not unhappy with the decisions I've made, but I did NOT get to ease into the idea of painted walls.
Not. at. all.
No easing. We have dived right in.
Pics to follow. Now I get to accessorize the new bathroom. That's actually the most fun!
Thanks Biff for kicking ass!!!

Gross, but funny!

2006-08-18T20:09:00.000-07:00

See it here.

Some pix from my weekend.

2006-08-17T08:57:00.000-07:00

I won't put the top up! I won't!!!

My eyes! My eyes!!!

MINIs at Burning Stones Plaza, Copper Mountain, Colorado.

eeek! a twin! They didn't show up til late Saturday, so I was the only gold for a time.

Just got back...

2006-08-14T11:34:00.000-07:00

from MITM. MINIs in the Mountains. We have an acronym for everything. haha.
Yes, went to Copper Mountain, Colorado for five days to meet, mingle, and drive with MINI owners from many different places.
A big shout out to my shabbat sister Jenny from Chicago!
Anyway, more pix and stories from that to come. Stay tuned!

Take that!
