This Week

...went by really fast. I took most of Tues. off cuz A. was here getting her senior pictures done. I've already got the proofs back and they are awesome. She had some done with all 5 of "her" dogs and they are oh-so-cute! Even though it's illegal, I'll probably scan a few to post here!

The 'new' Dr. Who started tonight! YAY! It's from the 2007 British season. Have I ever said how very much I love the British culture?!

I think I'm allergic to work. The past few days I have left work with a pounding headache and nearly everyday that I'm there I have a headache. I think it's the ventilation system.

Guess The Flick

"I'm going to Vietnam. It's like this whole other country."

Another clue:

"Dear God, make me a bird. So I can fly far,far far away from here. "

One more clue:

"Stupid is as stupid does."

Yep, it's Forrest Gump and it's on again on WE.

Wasted

as in another day. I'm so sick of this weather - more snow and cold. And it's way too messy to be outside. Ugghhh - I want spring.

This Week

Saw me...

1. Going to A.'s first rugby match of the season

2. Picking up hubby from the airport in a blizzard

3. Working

4. Getting by for another week without doing laundry (it's down to the wire now, or should I say the last pair of clean underwear!)

5. Thinking about doing taxes - ugghhh - I'm scared and really hope I don't have to pay in

6. Excited for the weekend: sleeping, planning menus for next week, cleaning, doing laundry, getting the pups ready for their photo shoot (A. is finally doing her senior pics on Tues. and she wants one with all of the dogs in it - Kami, Sadie, Molly, Bali and Simon) and generally hanging out and wishing I was planning a trip abroad for myself

Will It Ever End?

Winter, that is. ANOTHER 8" of snow and the worst driving I've had to deal with in a long time - our normal 2 hour trip from the airport to home took us 4 hours. YIKES! It was nasty. When will spring arrive?

Woo Hoo!

One of my favorite TV shows ever is on - Quantum Leap! It's on the same network that ran the entire series of The Wonder Years last summer, which I also love. However, i do not love the fact that they run the entire series consecutively and then go on to another show - so if you miss a night, you're sol.

High School Confidential

Have you seen it? It follows girls through their high school career, from 9th grade to graduation, and tells their story.

Here's the official blurb from WEtv:

12 girls. 4 years. 1 unprecedented WE tv event.

In this unprecedented television event, we follow 12 diverse girls through their tumultuous and exhilarating high school experience. They encounter sex, drugs, unwanted pregnancy, health crisis, and family chaos -- all while trying to discover who they are. Each episode explores the girls' stories through four years of heartache, discovery, friendship, and self-acceptance. These are stories we can all relate to.

Check it out here.

I Should...

...be doing something besides playing on the computer with ANTM on in the background (Cycle 5 again - Nicole wins!).

I should be vacuuming or doing laundry or doing dishes or planning menus or something. But I'm not. A lazy, rainy Sunday.

Guess The Flick

"You know - things, life, whatnot"

"Life is not whatnot"

Here's another clue:

"I can't believe I gave my panties to a geek"

And another:

"What's happenin' hot stuff?"

Yep, it's Sixteen Candles. When I was a young teenager, my goal was to watch this movie 16 times by my 16th birthday. I'm pretty sure I succeded - I seem to remember something like 20+ times before I was 16.

BTW, it's currently on WE.

My Favorite Ad

Diet Pepsi Max

What I'm Hating Now

Spending the last hour pulling up links to all the groovy songs I had listed and then Blogger wouldn't let me post the links - stupid technology crap stuff

What I'm Loving Now

1. When I bring in a new bag of dog food, my collie girl has to sniff very carefully around the new bag, the old bag, the floor, the can the new bag goes into. It's very important stuff!

2. Spring may be arriving - I hear upper 40's-low 50's for the next few days!

3. My new favorite group Paramore, especially crushcrushcrush

4. Car Crash by Matt Nathanson

5. Some SoapDishers went to Costa Rica on holiday and here's some photos from their trip by one of my favorite photographers Rebecca Picard. I SOOOO wanna go - it looks like so much fun!!

He's Gone Again

Hubby is back in Reno to clear out SIL house - we anticipate foreclosure stuff to start happening any time now.

Can I just say how VERY thankful I am for MY parents - thank you for being normal and nice and BORING. I am SO VERY SICK of the crap that people try to pull - and this is supposed to be family. Unbelievable. Needless to say, it's been a very stressful week and I am so sick of it, but not done with it. My hubby tells me to leave it alone - that's just the way they are, but I won't. If they can be assholes, I'll be one right back to them. So watch out. I'm gonna come at them with all guns blazing, or at least a few harsh words.
