Meadow-esque

Auri told me I could call her my muse. And there are two reasons as to why, but I can't seem to remember the first one. Oh, wait, it just came to me. I'm special, I know. Being that she's my HLP we spend a considerable amount of time together. Although, not so much lately because of her effing migraines. Moving on... Occasionally when we're hanging out, we'll have moments of temporary insanity where either one or both of us flies into fits of giggles and silliness. During many of these fits we have come up with some funny shit, a lot of which we still refer to on a daily basis. And most of the time, if we try to explain it to someone later, it turns out to be one of those "had to be there" types of things.

Anyway... let me attempt to explain a couple of them to you. She and I were IMing on our CrackBerrys the other day (because we're cool like that - we don't need to talk on the phone, we just IM each other all day long). I think she was telling me which part of Twilight she was on... no wait, I was telling her that I was stuck in meetings all day. She asked if it was totally rad/awesome/tubular, I said no, none of the above (I have no idea why she was having '80s vocabulary flashbacks). She then asked if it was "meadow-esque" (think Twilight) and I told her I was using that in one of my next blog posts. It was at that point she told me I can call her my muse. Apparently she gives me lots of blog post ideas? So, whenever something is beyond fabulous, you can call it "meadow-esque." Actually, no you can't. It's mine.

As for the second explanation: A few months back we were talking about someone I was dating (or thought I was dating - apparently I was confused - or maybe we are dating and I'm just not aware of that fact). We were having one of those giggle fits while discussing the situation and she burst out with, "You can't handle my java," in relation to this dude. I proceeded to use the line quite a bit over the next little bit, and then she informed me that I stole it. I wasn't aware she had laid claim to it. Apparently it belongs to her. So don't use it. Or use it and don't tell her. Or tell her you used it and let her get mad at you, too! Ha!

Well, for not having anything to write about today, I think I did pretty well for myself. I hope it made you giggle. If not, I'll make sure we come up with some more funny shit!

P.S. I'm trying REALLY hard not to post Twilight shit everyday, but it's not easy, because clearly, I'm obsessed. So, I may post a hot picture (as I did today), and then tell a totally unrelated story. Or a story with only a minimal mention of the obsesh. But I'm trying to diversify, seriously. I promise!

Today's Play List

As per usual, it's Friday, I'm working from home today, and that means I'm working from Starbucks. It's my home-away-from-home. Ever since they started their free wireless program thingy, I'm here all the time. I'd work from home, but I have a tendency to fall asleep on the couch or crawl into my bed, so it's better that I leave the house. I'm listening to a play list I've got on my iPod... I decided to name it the Fall Mix. Again, I'm great with the unique names. It's time to make some new mixes because the ones I've got are getting old. I need some variety.

Here's a few of the songs I've got on here...
September - Earth Wind & Fire
Right As Rain -Adele
In This Life - Delta Goodrem
Keep Wanting More - Nikka Costa
Ghetto - Leela James
Facing Up - Kate Voegele
Forget About the Rain - Trapt
Fly Away - Black Eyed Peas
Wake Up -Story of the Year
Sleep Together - Garbage
Let the Flames Begin - Paramore
Twist - Goldfrapp
Into the Night - Santana & Chad Kroeger
Breathe Me - Sia


It's a fairly extensive list so I'm not writing down all the songs. Since I'm a music junkie, I'm finding new stuff all the time, but I haven't come across anyone new and amazing for a while. Does anyone out there have any fabulous suggestions? I've had my eye on Kate Nash and need to get her new album. I'm very excited for Lily Allen's new one to come out next week. Anything else I should check out?

PSL No More

So, remember how I spilled an entire effing Venti Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) in my car? Yeah, it makes me cry, too. Well, I caved in and took it to the car wash. Not the drive through, DIY car wash, but the one where I ended up paying $40 to have the inside and outside cleaned and the upholstery and floor mats on the driver's side of the car shampooed. Yeah, $40. I probably could have taken it to the guys my dad uses and spent twice that amount and had the whole car done, but I'm broke as it is, and I'll do that in the Spring or something. At least the interior of my car is no longer orange. And there is no threat of it smelling like sour milk. I would gag, and then hurl, and then I'd have myself a whole other problem on top of the PSL fiasco!

Coffee and Other Lovely Things

I love coffee... but more than coffee, I love going to coffee. For those of you not versed in "going to coffe," let me explain. This usually entails going to a coffee shop with another person or a group of friends, drinking coffee (or any other fabulous liquid delight) and talking. The talking may go on for 10 minutes, or three hours, but as long that it's going on, all is well. I went to coffee tonight with J. This will have been our third coffee date, fourth date in all. (We went to a movie a few weeks ago). Anyway, I had a great time laughing with him and talking. We were there for well over two hours.

I think more than coffee, I love Ambien. I've told y'all before about me and Ambien... at least I think I have. If I haven't, here it is. I am a night owl. I usually get my second wind around 9 or 10 PM. This is difficult because I have to get up early and generally don't get enough sleep. So, I came home from my date and took 1/2 of an Ambien, and now I'm blogging. Generally not a good idea, but I'm being good. Oh, how I love the Ambien. Drunkenness without the hangover. It's just fabulous. So, with that, I'm going to end this, close my laptop and go to bed, like a good girl. Odum would be so proud.

I need a ginormous Tide stick for this one

So, I'm setting up shop at Beans and Brews today to do some work, I grabbed my drink to move it closer to me, and guess what happened? The frickin' lid popped off! The whole drink didn't dump out, but at least a quarter of it landed either on me, or on my laptop. Yeah, lame. I had to shut down the laptop and try to soak up the liquid before it either ruined it, or made the keys too sticky. After I got the laptop cleaned up, I went into the bathroom and tried to clean myself up. That didn't work so well, so I took my two tops off, rinsed them out, and got my hoodie that was, thank God, in the back of my car, and put it on. My day is going well. It can only get better from here!
