Miss me?

So, for all one of you that's been missing the blog... I'm back. Laying low tonight. Watching some college world series softball stuff. Lots been going on. Been too tired to type! It's a crap excuse I know.

So right now I'm just relaxing. No homework tonight. I'm school free. Hoping that will help these shoulder knots I have. I tend to carry my stress in my shoulders and when I get mega stress, it is downright painful. So we'll see.

Is it totally wrong that I'm sitting here, listening to my self created playlist and loving every second of it? I mean i know I'm the one the picked the songs but still.

I really want to go shopping. But I'm not sure for what. And that's not a good way to shop.

Very excited for this weekend. My cousin Kate is coming into town. This will be the last time I'll see her for a while since she's moving back to Wisconsin. I'm so glad she was so close for a while. Maybe she'll move back. :)

Speaking of family, I think it's ok to be in countdown mode for going to Seattle. I can't tell you how stoked I am for that. I think part of it, is any time you can spend $400 at one time, for an airline ticket or anything else fun, it just feels good. Like some sort of accomplishment or something. I know, I'm lame.

So there have been a lot of pics of Ashley Judd lately since her hubby, who is bad ass enough to not have to be referred to as "Ashley Judd's Husband" all the time, won the Indy 500. Isn't it so cool when you see someone who after 8 years of marriage, still looks at her husband with goo goo eyes? I think that's just amazing. Like last night he threw out the first pitch at the Astros game. And even then she was like giddy. I just hope that's me with someone one day. It's really great.

I think tomorrow or something I'll post more just Hollywood gossip stuff. Because if I start now, I won't stop typing and i need to just lay down for a while.

Just wanted to check in, tell you I'm still here. :)

Later!

Middle of the day...

ok, minor randomness. It needs to stop raining. Seriously. I don't live in Seattle for a reason. I'm pale. I need some sun. PLEASE! Good news though is the river is back to normal. THANK GOD! I have at least two trips planned this summer... Always up for more.

Still going to Seattle (ironically) for 4th of July. Can't wait. I'm actually taking trips this summer. Somewhere in all of that I'm taking a full course load in school. I'm insane.

I was assigned the title of Head Beer Drinker at our company golf tournament. Very proud to hold that title. Must pace a little better then last year. The heat got me and I started drinking at like 730am last year so I was tanked out by about 7PM. But 12 straight hours in the 95 degree heat? not too shabby.

Ok, that's all. Tonight I'll post more. Just wanted to be a little random before getting back to work.

Been a while...

OK, so who would have thought that Brittany Murphy of all people is what really encouraged another blog post. I have food to make for dinner but I'm waiting just to write this. Well, and also I just need to mellow a little before I go right into cooking. Do you realize with school and all, I really haven't cooked much lately. That stinks! So tonight it's jalapeño chicken rolls. We'll see how they work out.

So Brittany Murphy. She's been engaged more times then most people have had boyfriends. So apparently she secretly married this guy like last week or something. And here's the thing. It's not that she just called off an engagement like 8 months ago. Nope. I'm actually OK with that. It's that she and her new husband went to the Kentucky Derby over the weekend, wearing their rings, and trying to avoid being photographed because they wanted to make an "official" announcement on Monday. I'm calling total BS. First of all, I'm not saying you have to stay in seclusion till you want to announce, but the Derby? That's like celebrity heaven. The damn Derby lasts for 6 hours or something but the actual race is like 2 minutes. What else are people going to do but photo the people there. So give me a freaking break you didn't want people to know. That's like getting a boob job, wearing a teeny tiny top, and being shocked that people noticed. Whatever. You got what you wanted.

If you haven't already, check out Taylor Swift. She's country, and she's fantastic. Trust me, you'll love her.

I think I'm extra tired today, but I'm becoming increasingly agitated with people on the road. For example, if you drive a piece of crap, is it necessary to take a speed bump at like 2 miles per hour? I mean maybe you're afraid the car will fall apart if you go any faster. I suppose I can see that. Also, the blinker... Just cause you turn it on, doesn't give you free reign to just get over. You still need to wait. And you don't get to just start nosing in because you were the dumbass that got in the wrong turn lane and now you need to cover 4 lanes of traffic in the matter of like 30 feet. Sorry... Oh, and where in the driver's ed manual does it say that during rush hour traffic, you should let no less then 5 cars turn in from a parking lot on a road with one of three lanes already closed for construction. There... feel better.

Oh, and I'm at the grocery store and I see this woman. And i know that sometimes you gain weight, your jeans start feeling a little tight and you start to rock the muffin top from time to time. Not our favorite time sure... But here's the thing. When you're already a little overweight, don't wear a top that while standing straight up, and not hanging on anything, totally shows your midriff. i don't care how hot it's getting. It's just not ok.

I've had a really great last couple of weeks. I finished my first semester of grad school. 2 A's and a B. Not too shabby. I'm happy anyways. It's wearing me out but it's well worth it. Last weekend I had the 2 day bachelorette fiesta. SO MUCH FUN. Mission accomplished on Friday when our group got on TV at the game. Totally cool. Then just had a blast the whole rest of the weekend. Wedding was this past weekend, had a blast of course. Christe was absolutely gorgeous of course. It was just so much fun. I'm still tired, and it's still totally worth it.

More Hollywood stuff. Paris Hilton. So apparently her parents have even contacted
Schwarzenegger to help get her out of it. PATHETIC. I hate people that just think they can buy their way out of everything. And apparently her mom is shopping around to TV stations for the rights to her interview. Give me a break. They all make me sick. I've got nothing more on this.

Lohan... in a cocaine scandal. Shocking? Not really. I've said it before... It's going to take her dying or something. I mean come on... Clearly no one has an ounce of influence on her. Her mom isn't going to do anything. It's like what happened with Britney. When she's your paycheck, you're not going to tell her no. And then when you try... it's too late.

Ok, Jake Gyllenhaal and Austin Nichols. Sure they're probably lovers... Which crushes me... but stop making it your mission to out everyone! It's really disrespectful and annoying.

Ok, one more thing... I think. I'm not sure if Jessica Simpson really cares or not, but i just saw a picture of Nick and Vanessa at the Derby this weekend. Ok, maybe cause I saw Nick and Jessica go on the Newlyweds, I just feel like it's their place and he can't take his new girl there. I'm just stupid though...

Ok, gonna go cook. Later!
