This is why I love "Scrubs"

Dexter Season Finale

The Dexter season finale will be December 16th. This calls for a Dexter Finale party. Should we dress as our favorite police officer or victim?

Everyone is at work, and I'm not

I'd have to say that my day started very well, with the help of Dave.

My one favorite sweet treat, the one that I would include in a last meal request, you know, if that situation were to ever arise, was waiting for me. The chocolate croissant.

Dave hosted a bike ride for the Bike MS board and about 30 riders showed up. Following the ride they had breakfast at Le Grande Orange and there he purchased my lovely croissant.

So here I sit, with my coffee and my yummy breakfast, checking e-mail and deleting a pest who keeps e-mailing me! She's the sister in law of one of my sisters who believes that she's going to be a millionaire from Partylite. At least it's just e-mails now, she used to leave messages at my house stating that I would be a great Partylite consultant. Really, what part of my smart-ass personality got you to arrive at that conclusion. Was it the time I told you to stop running off and getting more beer when we were trying to play dominos, its your turn and you wouldn't shut up. Yeah, those were some times...sigh. It could have been the time that the same thing happened when we were playing darts or a wii game...

Sometime this week I have to get my car emissions checked and have the registration updated, find Dave a flight to Texas for Christmas, and I'm still trying to figure out the ins-n-outs of my new phone. I'm hoping that we get pretty good reception on these, in the house. The only reason we have a land line is because our cellphones had bad reception downstairs. There were some nights that I sat in the car in the garage to talk. Not fun to do in the summer.

I talked to my sister in law in Ireland yesterday morning, to get the status of her trip to Texas for Christmas. With Alea (niece) being sick, and susceptible to germs, they were seriously considering not coming, but it looks like it's going to happen. We asked her to bring cadbury roses and a box of crunchies for Dave. She also asked me what I thought of Marc Jacobs handbags; I sense a christmas present in my future...I should have told her about my love of Chanel.

yeah for me

I don't have to go to work until the 3rd. Woo Hoo! I have many people ask me what I'm going to do, in anticipation that I'm going to answer Disneyworld or Tuscany.

I will be....

Wearing my Wonder Woman pajamas
Making breakfast at about 9am
Catching up on some homework.
Meeting friends for lunch

Thats about it, I don't think that I could do anymore, it all seems so taxing...

dammit, I signed up on myspace again,

Yes, you all stood in my home and I stated that I had to stop. Not because I was keeping in contact with you way too much, my friends but because I can't stop playing with the layout. I stated I was over it.

I'm at lunch today with Jeffy and he says that he signed up again, too and to look him up. I also found my 15 year old nieces page which states that she is EIGHTEEN. Nothing looks suspicious on it yet, but I'll keep checking.

So now I think I'm happy with my choice of layout for my page but now I am unsatisfied with my contact table. argggh and it starts again. I have to find my pink skull and cross bone online icon.

Not Carpooling

Dave and I began to carpool to work and I've really enjoyed the drive to and from with him. He's now out of training and his schedule has changed. The time he leaves doesn't give me enough time to get to school so for now we will drive separately on Mondays.

I'm driving home alone for the first time in two months when this song comes on the radio.



I really enjoy a good love song. It brings vision of my sweet baby and I walking on beaches and sharing a laugh in a hammock or whatever little "sweet" scenerio that you or I can think of.

Dammit, this song, like so many others, is now connected with an advertisment or a chick movie. I start singing along thinking of Dave and then I had visions of that white haired guy trying to get couples to meet up at his christian dating site.

I put in my songs about jane cd and that just brought up memories of man/boys that were not good for me and best forgetten. I do love that cd, though, its beautiful in its pain, mr adam levine.

I love you sweet dave

I was reading this site tonight about secrets. I found it interesting that many shared the same secret.

did you see tonights "Dexter"

Oh. My. God.

the best episode yet!!!!! and what the hell is up with Lila's lip? the upper one. Stop talking like that Lila!!!!

You must see it, you must

A clip from the Daily Show folk about the writers strike. An extra chuckle are the TAGS that they have for the clip. I also have my usual crush on the only British guy on the show, John Oliver, He's the one at the end in the top hat.

Ahhhh a four day weekend….

My birthday was Saturday and I just love telling people how old I am. They say I look much younger. I respond by saying that they are fooled by my maturity level. I took a four day weekend in honor of me.

Thursday night Dave and I went looking for a dinner made for us, instead of Dave cooking. Too busy at Corbin’s, too busy at 5 & Diner and missed the turn into the parking lot of Manuel’s. We planted ourselves into a booth at Rosie McCaffery’s. Undone by Weezer was playing as he enjoyed his Guinness; me, Harp as usual. We are trying to nail down our plans for Thanksgiving day.

We would really like to spend our Thanksgiving alone, no dealing with family; just dinner out somewhere. Last Thanksgiving I invited my sister in law and my niece. The SIL told everyone details about her divorce and how you need to take it one day at a time and it’s best to move on with her life while rehashing what a bastard he was. The niece insisted that everyone was mean to her. So, dinner, just the two of us, it is. Right now we are trying to decide on the Restaurant or we will be having dinner in with my sister and her husband. That would guarantee that I’ll get the type of stuffing I want. It’s all about the stuffing.

We then need to decide if we are going to the Company Holiday Party. It’s a dry party, not that that’s such a big deal, but most people don’t stay for the whole thing. The invitation says after 5 attire, so most put there outfit to good use and head to other destinations after eating at the party. We’ll probably do the same.

I did have a lovely evening with my new old friends from high school. It’s the type of evening that I love the most. Good food, very good food, red wine and hanging out in someone’s house late in to the night talking about ridiculous things. Yes, definitely will happen again. The whole schedule thing is a problem. I just wish we could just make spontaneous plans but with family, friends and school we do have to schedule time.

I also had another lovely evening in my home with my “family”. My sisters, husbands and friends that I consider family all meet once a month for family birthdays. I made a small mistake in thinking that no one will want to come upstairs so didn’t really clean the two bedrooms. Wrong! When two gay men in the house want a tour they want to see everything. I got a thank you card from one of the birthday boys, saying they loved my home, it was so “homey” I think that means messy.

So anyway back to me, Birthday night was great. Dave and I went to Salutè for dinner, because I wanted their calamari and some red wine. It was wonderful. We then headed to Corbin’s for another drink with my sister and her husband Jim. I spent Sunday morning “taking it easy” and writing a paper for the Southwest Native class. Sunday and today I caught up I all of my Tivo’d shows that Dave hates to watch and the movies that he would never see.

I found out that Barenaked Ladies are headlining at the Tempe New Years block party. I said I would never go again but it looks like I will be there this year. Never say never.

I just couldnt stop myself
