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?
