Random Thoughts for a Random Monday

Posted Monday, April 28, 2008 12:47 PM

I have a lot to blog about today so i'll give you the quick recap by highlighting the important/random/funny/weird topics of the weekend...

I Want to be the next American Idol (Friday)

Went to my cousin's house for her bday the other night... apparently some time ago, I had told them that if i ever had to sing karaoke, i would sing the song Black Velvet by Alanna Myles (for the record, i still do NOT remember saying this). Well, I got my chance on Friday, where my off key, off pitched voice still was able to conquer American Idol (on the wii of course)... get ready simon, here i come!

Colors, Fabrics and Jeans! oh my! (Saturday) 

Went out to lunch with the girls saturday, which afterwards i was supposed to go home because i dont have any cashola to spend at the mall. I only wanted to stop and get a small gift for the aforementioned cousin... I stepped into the store and looked around. Colors, fabrics, and jeans, OH MY! i was dorothy and this was my Oz... my black and white world just got tossed and turned and landed in forever 21. Apparently, they just built this fabulous 2-floor Forever 21 in Garden State Plaza. Not sure how many ladies are familiar with this brand, but you can get some great stuff for some great prices. So, even though I'm not supposed to be shopping, I did pick up a few cute things for my spring wardrobe. 8 items for $106... and all super cute and i can wear all but 2 to work. dual purpose. yes, i am justifying and rationalizing. do not make me leave oz. i like it here. :)

Barney Rules (Saturday night) 

Rob was at the store until late, so i spent my entire night watching Season 1 of How I Met Your Mother on DVD. If you haven't seen this show, i highly recommend it. Mostly for Neil Patrick Harris. Here is my favorite line to-date that he's said...

"It will be legend-wait for it... and I hope you're not lactose intolerant because the second half of that word is dairy!"

Barney also blogs, we blog... what's not to like... :P
 

Another One Bites the Dust (Sunday morning)

Did a 5-mile walk for March of Dimes on Sunday and it went great. however, found this a bit weird/funny. we park get out of the car, are walking to the gathering area, there's a dj playing. that's all fine and dandy... our team is for my friend S and her hubby who lost their baby girl at 17 days... and the song the DJ is playing, is Another One Bites The Dust.... hmmmmm.... just seemed not very appropriate for the event... LOL

A Burned Thumb (Sunday night)

I was at DH's store last night... he needed help with the mountains of clothes he now gets to dry clean... i got to work at the ironing table pressing a few suits... I have the process down pat after a jacket or two. When you put the jacket on the table, you blow air into it from the table, then you steam iron the top of it very lightly. This gets the wrinkles out very effectively and OUCH! i just burned myself on the d*mn steam... i won't bore you with anymore details, but let's just say it happened about 8 more times til i looked at my watch and realized it was 11pm and i needed to go home to my bed because my thumb was throbbing. Moral of the story: Ironing sucks. and im not quitting MY day job!

My New Favorite Snack (today)

Reeses' Peanut Butter Cups... but only the mini ones... i got the regular sized ones last week, definitely not as good. the mini's have the perfect combo of pb and chocolate. This has been surprising me, as I am the last person to really like sweets. I'd rather have a potato chip anyday, until now... weird??? do people's tastebuds change over time?

Barney is my favorite TV character to date (well, he ties with the Turk and JD combo on Scrubs).  Rock on for 80s TV actor comeback (Barney would kick Doogie Howser's ass!)

I so agree about Reese Cups!!  I don't like the regular sized ones because it's too much PB.  Of course, I can't stand the black wrapper you have to peel off the minis...always get chocolate under my fingernail.  They could eliminate the whole black cupcake-type wrapper.

I love HIMYM. I watch every week! I am one of the few I know who has watched since S1. I think Barney is the best character on the show. So jealous of your shopping Oz experience. I wish I had the $ to go shop like that right now!

re: Random Thoughts for a Random Monday

I LOVE  How I Met Your Mother!!!!  Matt vetoed my #1 boys name pick. TED.  I was so bummed.  And the ring-tone on my phone is Death Cab For Cutie's "Soul Meets Body"  because that song played on one of their episodes.  I don't ever remember laughing harder than in the slap bet episode where they introduces Robin as Robin Sparkles.  I love the line, "I was a teenage pop-star in Canada."  I say it all the time.  I often call my friends and ask them "Let's Go to the Mall, TODAY!"

Forever 21 is a habit I have broken.  I spend too much in there, and the clothes arent always durable.  

And with the Peanut butter cups, I am not a huge fan because I am not a fan of the mixture, but every Easter, when the Reeses Eggs come out, you have to pry the bag out of my hands to get me to stop eating them.

Barney rocks!  How crazy was last week's episode?  Can't wait to see what happens.  I too am a jersey girl, and will have to check out the new 2 floor store.
