It's Just another Migraine Monday

....errr, I hate stupid headaches! I don't really have a tonne to say. But I have heard from certain people that it is disappointing, dare I say devastating to sign on and find that those of us in the blogging world have not updated in a while. On Saturday, I rediscovered my love for Sid Dickens art plaques. (siddickens.com) I have loved them since I saw them in a friend of Tracy's house about 5 years ago....I still love them and think that they would be lovely in my living room....which by the way I have chosen my paint colors for and cannot wait to post pics of it all done! They are $75 a piece and I had no idea that he, on occasion, retires them. Of course, 2 of my fav's are retired and lots of $$. Why do I always like hard to get things that are expensive..._________insert sigh of consternation here. On another note...I cannot for the life of me find numbers for my house. At the moment, they are written on a piece of paper taped to the window. I am not sure what I am looking for, but it is not what is at home depot or any other store I visited yesterday! I am sure that I will find ones I love and they will be 4 billion dollars. (That is my number I go to when over exaggerate)

In other news, clothing club was fun on Friday night! We got to talk (and I mean talk...seriously, if you don't find a long enough opening or know how to yell...you don't get to tell your story! and even then the likely hood that you will be interrupted is like 98%) It is fun being in a room with 10 yappy women. Although, I suppose yappy makes us sound like tiny annoying dogs...let's go with conversational women...much better :) I forgot my camera, so no pics.

I do, however, have some pictures from the last couple of weeks that I think are worth seeing. So here they are: This one is at Torry's 30th B-Day. Torry is eating his free dessert and Cordell and Dale apparently find something very intriguing about Dale's fork. Then we have all the boys. Here is Tim and Jonny. They both think that they are very 'black'. Next is us girls. I had to eliminate one of our friends from the photo cause her hubby told me that I was not allowed to put her on the internet. Maybe one day?...cause I have great pics of us from the Ex of '05! These ones are from Gina's B-Day party. Here is Teesh and Torry pretending to be meeting for the first time...aren't they great actors? Hee hee. Then we have Gina and Colleen...so cute! Next is Gina and Dorian dancing for us...wow , they are great! I have video of it, but it is too big for youtube...so if anyone knows how to shrink video, let me know and I can post a link to it! I like the one where Gina is clapping while we sing her Happy Birthday. Hey, at least she got into it! Then we have Gina blowing out her candles and then being sad that she blew both of them out and re-lighting them to proceed to blow one out cause we all know that that means she has a boyfriend (or would like one). Funny girl!

I just want to be warm...

The feelings written here were provoked by these pics and the fact that there is snow on the ground!!! I was on a 'I'm so sick of being cold' tirade last night and now I wake up to snow....I am livid! This first picture was taken on June 22-don't we look happy and warm? I remember that evening because it was warm till midnight. I would like to be warm. The second one is from July-which is unfair because it is always warm in July...but it makes me want warm...NOW. It also makes me want to sit on the patio at Earls. I love the patio and being warm outside! I know, I know...I have the same little angry rant at this time every year. It's just that, well, I so yearn for the warmth of the sun to beam down upon me and excite my every cell (I am fairly certain I just 'borrowed' that phrase from Maroon 5...Speaking of which, they have a CD coming out on May 22...YAY and FINALLY!) Anyway, back to the rant at hand...I hate being cold. I hate cold hands. I hate cold feet. I hate having to keep my shoulders up by my ears to feel half-way warm. Yes, we could move away, but we have gone and gotten all attached to you people here. Thanks...thanks for keeping me cold. I just want to wear a tank top or capris and NO jacket. It isn't a big request...

I like summer. I like driving around with the sun roof open, music pounding, the breeze blowing my hair in my face and then in my lip gloss and then when I move my hair away it takes a streak of lip gloss with it....never mind...I don't like that part. I like that I feel happier. I like feeling healthier and like I have more energy. I like that it is easier to stay skinny.

Please make an appearance soon, warm sun, please! Maybe we could form a prayer group on behalf of the weather. Hey, Shawn and Kev pray for hockey...why not the weather!?

Here we Go...

Me being weird is not the question, but rather which of the 100's of things do I share with you? I think everyone I know has been tagged...so just enjoy :)

1. I love ugly things (let me clarify-these things are all non-living-my friends and family are all of the utmost attractiveness) I usually am very drawn to clothing/home decor items that most people would make fun of-I love them and somehow I usually make them work.

2. I have created my very own style called 'Gothtorian'. It is NOT 'shabby chic'-that is different all together. My house is slowly transforming and I looove it! I like things that are emotionally impacting and leave one feeling uneasy.

3. I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge about pathology and the inner workings of disease. Give me a list of 5 signs and symptoms and I can probably give you a possible diagnosis in under 30 seconds.

4. I love filing, organizing, and making binders of info for people-it brings me joy....joy, joy, joy.

5. If you have known me for any length of time, you would know that I have over 35 Hillsong Worship CD's...BUT my absolute favorite genre of music is Hip-Hop and Hardcore Rap. I can't listen to it much cause the messages are always terrible, but it is my fav none-the-less.

6. I check the alarm clock beside the bed about 10-15 times (more if it is a Saturday night) before I tell myself to stop being a big ball of CRAZY and stop!

There you have it. 6 weird things about me-if you can think of anymore-let me know!
