Feel The Love From February...

Here's my and my nephew. Aren't we the most adorable thing you have ever seen?

The Best January Had To Offer...

Well, starting today I am going to post my 12 favorite pictures from 2006. I am starting tonight instead of tomorrow or Monday because, I just learned that I will be off to Madison tomorrow to celebrate the holiday with Bartender and some friends down there. Shenanigans will ensue, without a doubt. Can you believe that I have never gone out for New Years? And Mad-town seems like the perfect place to do it.

So without further rambling here in my favorite picture from January 2006.

This was taken of the lovely Melly and Xan at his going away party, just before he moved to California.

I Ain't Sayin She A Gold Diggah...

So I sitting here at casa de bunny and fish...

And Barb is on the floor booger diving in her son's nostril cavity.

That's hot.

"I've Got Another Confession To Make..."

I am considering posting my favorite pictures of 2006.

What do you think?

Do you care?

It's Been Awhile...

I feel like I should say something.

...


I got nothing.

I Am Going To Die Alone...

Annie got engaged this weekend! I am so happy for them. And they asked me to be in the wedding!

YAY! Congrats to them.

Happy Christmas My Friends...

I give you the view outside my door with my holiday greetings for the warmest of holiday seasons. The best of my love to you all.

Musical Musings...

So recently, I have purchased/been gifted the following CD's: Justin Timberlake - FutureSex/Love Sounds, Evanescence - The Open Door, Dierks Bentley - Long Road Alone, Keith Urban - Love, Pain and the Whole Crazy Thing, and Daughtry's self titled debut album. So let's dive right in.

Justin - I bought this disk on the basis of "SexyBack". I am a pretty little girl when it comes to that song. I cannot help but want to dance. I hated this cd when I first listened to it. Hate! Unwilling to give it up, I listened to it a few more times. It started to grow on me. Now every time this cd starts, I can't help but want to shake my booty.

Evanescence - Let me start off by saying, that I think Amy Lee has the opportunity to change the face of rock for women. I mean seriously, who do we have? There's the most famous chick rocker/burnout of all time, Courtney Love. Um, No. Amy Lee can save the world. I thought Fallen, their major label debut, was just the cat's meow! The Open Door. Eh. It's solid but mostly, ...unmemorable.

Dierks - Hummna, Hummna, Hummna. What a tasty dish. The cd is country goodness, but I have heard him do better. I still love him, but I think I will hold out for something better. There are a few stand-out tracks on the album though, that I just can't help but turn it up.

Keith - For a boy who released an album on the week he went to rehab, he's doing alright. I have yet to hear anything less then great from this man. I have seen him live 3 times now, and it's so very worth it. He is an incredibly charismatic performer and it shines through on disk, as well.

Daughtry - This cd comes to us from American Idol cast off Chris Daughtry. While I find it to be a very solid album, it seems to be it skips genres a bit. He has to decide what sound he wants to go with. He can pull off edgier pop, but he sounds more true coming in as rock. All that aside, this is still the most enjoyed cd I have acquired in recent months. I am eager to see what a second release brings from him.

So there you have it, aren't you just over-joyed now?

The Changing Face Of Employment...

When I first started in my current full-time job, they were the most generous place I had ever even heard of. We received gift certificates at Thanksgiving to help purchase our family turkey dinner. I always bought booze. Everyone celebrates in their own way...this was mine. We received gifts at Christmas, a healthy profit based bonus, and a very nice holiday party.

Times they are a changing. No Thanksgiving help this year, I was sober at Thanksgiving! The tragedy! No holiday party, but instead a snow tubing outing on a Thursday night. What the hell is that about? They are warning that our bonus may not be the stuff of dreams. My first year here, my bonus was over $700. Last year, it was barely $200. How much more undream-like can it really get? The only good thing going on this year has been that instead of a fruit box and cheeses, they gave us gift cards for Christmas. That $50 was way more appreciated then a few oranges.

And now, one of the more compassionate people on the upper management team annouced his retirement today. It's not looking so good for the little guy right now.

Checked The Clock When I Got Home And Realized I Was Alone*...

I can't believe it's been a week already. Where have I been? In my apartment. Packing. I don't feel like I am making much progress lately either. I have about 10 days before I am needing to be relocating. I have actually until the 5th of January to vacate this apartment...but I would much prefer to be out as soon as possible to have plenty of time to clean this apartment. It won't take long because I am a mostly clean little girl, but I still don't wanna rush it.

Oh well, I have to get ready for work, but I promise to work on a post at work today.

It's All About Priorities...

I have to leave in about 15 minutes for work. I have not gotten dressed or done anything makeup related.

I think it's a far better idea to dance around the living room to John Mayers "Waiting on the world to change".

I know what's important, yo.

Sweeet...

I am pretty dizzy. Light headed and everything.

I have to leave for the store in 4 minutes.

Oh Baby...

Top Gun is on! I love Tom Cruise in the 80's!

How Did I Not Know About This...

So there I was. Cruising Wal-Mart. Waiting for my laundry to finish. Wandering through the electronics department. Suddenly, the heavens opened. The angels burst into jubilant song and a light shone down on one product.




I WANT THIS SO DAMN BAD! Mother-fucking She-ra! That is my childhood right there.

After I was done geeking out in the middle of the aisle, the responsible-broke as hell adult in me walked away.

Once I can see light again with bills, I am soooo getting this.

Movie Mumblings...

My Date With Drew - I thought it was going to be the dumbest thing I had ever seen. It is fact was quite cute and quirky.

I Feel...

A little starved for affection right now.

Not to be confused with attention. I am not really craving that. Affection is a very different thing.

And that is what I want right now.
