As i was e-mailing someone at the end of the day yesterday and told them "The day just got away from me." It's true the day just got the hell away from me and before i knew it 4:28pm was upon me i hadn't posted anything and i was going to my moms so i wouldn't be posting anything. Am i now out of the club? Was i even in the club to begin with? Or am i not only a member but the president of this club (that i just made up because i can. and no you can't be a member unless you go through initiation. And no it's not like a frat house or anything like that)? I'm sure that i can get away with not posting yesterday because i promise to make it up to you tomorrow....or something like that. I know i said i would post pictures from my weekend.....just give me another day and i will post them.
I would like to take a few moments and talk about the fashion crisis the world seems to be going through. Why is it now the in thing to look like your 4 months pregnant? All these baggy saggy clothes with tappered pants are not a step forward my friend. It's scary and it's bad. I try not to look around too much and i try not to have nightmares about ugly clothes but sometimes i can't help it. At moments like these i wish i had learned how to make my own clothes. Anyways i just wanted to take a moment and let that out. (now that was nice)
Tonight i get to see the Matches! So excited! Then tomorrow is wrist surgery day for Dan. (not so excited about that.) What can you do.
So who knew a dish rag would kick my ass? Who? As my mom and I restarted our dish rags last night b/c we swore to get them to look at least half as good as little big sis's, we begun to wonder if we were cut out for this dish rag business!! I finally got mine to look half way decent and finished the dang thing. Mom declared that she just could not do the shells and gave up. However (in case your listening little big sis) she has a new one for us to try next week! I told her that it's all fine and great except no one can use my dish rag as a rag now that i put so much love and attention into the thing!! So i guess i will have to turn the other way when the thing is being used!!
Lets talk about how my little big sis can make a perfect dish rag in one try and trim it all in one night!! I mean all night last night i was cussing that it just isn't fair! She crafted the thing like it was actually hidden in her sleeve the whole time and BAM magically appeared at the end of the night!! She rocks and it's not totally fair. She can cut hair, dye hair, make glamorous outfits, do awesome make-up, crochet anything, draw, read fast, write very well, bake yummy pound cake (and various other items), shop wicked good, gitterize anything, learn just about anything by reading a book on it, put together a very rad apartment......i could go on but you get the idea she is awesome and has all the talent. I'm good at ranting....does that count?

When Weekends End
So this weekend was fun! First we went to a 76ers game which i thought would be boring BUT it was lots of fun! Who knew there was a basketball fan inside of me. Or maybe it's the crowd that gets you into the game. I'm not sure. But you have to love (or hate) a city that boos everything the opposing team does. Example the players are being introduced they boo every player. They score their booed. The entire time they are trying to make any kind of anything booed. They say the opposing teams name Boo.....BUT their boos are not reserved for the opposing team only. Love the city because they boo their own players. There was one guy they didn't like (i suppose had i been watching all season i would know the reason why) so anytime they said his name or number he was booed anytime he was on the floor booed. So the city does not discriminate they boo their own as well.
I got so into the game i was beginning to wonder if i should watch it on TV. (I will say over and over that i hate watching sports and would rather be playing them. but i now have an exception i can watch live sports....as i know this stood true for soccer i was unaware that i could watch basketball live....as for football and baseball i still don't know if i can watch them live.) So i tried watching some basketball on Sunday and it was not nearly as interesting as watching it live. So i suppose there is not an inner basketball fan in me.
Saturday we went to Longwood Gardens. Longwood is the northern version of Brookgreen i suppose. But Brookgreen is better not just because they have the best chicken parm in the world, but because they have art through out the gardens so your not just looking at flowers and trees your also look at sculptures. Not to say Longwood Gardens aren't pretty and neat just saying they are no Brookgreen. However would i be saying Brookgreen is no Longwood had i gone to Longwood first...we shall never know. Altough Longwood does have a really neat conservetory we are definitely going back and considering a year membership b/c us going 3 times is the cost of a membership and so far we have gone once and we plan to go again and even again so that would be three times right there and we could easily go more in a year.....I would at least go 4 times to see all the seasons.....so we shall see. I will post pictures tomorrow or later today.
Then we enjoyed a nice dinner at an expensive but cute restaurant in Doylestown. (no not Pocos.) The only bump in an otherwise wonderful day was me deleting all my pictures on my camera!!! I didn't mean to! I mean if Formatting = deleting THEN why do they have a delete button as well? HUH?! WHY? Call it what it is people!!! STUPID FORMAT button i will never trust you again! And yes littlebigsis I actually used my camera and i was so happy! Then they all got deleted and i was very sad.....VERY MAD MORE LIKE IT. (Maybe more so at myself then at the camera....b/c it was an uneducated users error...but still!)
Sunday was my lay around and pretend like i was going to do something day. I did nothing I barely moved from the bed it was nice. Especially when this week is going to be a busy one!
IRTC: Yeah none of the lame comments bother me they just humor me b/c honestly it's just hair and most of it is black! But this morning her lameness continued when she thought i got rid of the color in my hair b/c it was wet. She was like "Did you dye your hair again?!" Honestly get over your insecure self. I LOVE MY HAIR!!

What they say = Nothing
Top 5 dumb comments about my hair....
5. Did you spill ink on your head?
4. What happened to you?
3. Oh.....
2. So what are you punk rock isn't that what they call it.
and the dumbest comment......(drum roll somewhere in there...no not dumb roll although....)
#1 Did you want it to be like that?
What the heck....really?! OK #s 5-3 i can deal with. #2 pisses me off only b/c why do i have to be anything to color my hair? why can't i just have fun? I'm not punk or goth or skater or WHATEVER....I'm 26 and i was bored of my hair.
We all know why #1 is bothersome but I'll tell you anyway. It's rude A. B. Come on no I left it like this even though i wanted something else! Remember that saying "if you don't have anything nice to say shut the hell up?" Just b/c your stuck in brown hair hell and don't ever want help out don't try to make me feel bad for coloring my hair BUT the best part about all of it is MY hair is not even that CRAZY. Really it's not. Can you imagine if i did show up with it yellow/orange bleached out mess that it is in the post below? For shits sake get over yourselves.
But lots of other people said very nice things. Like "awesome hair" or "cool i love your hair" and "it looks soooo good" also "wow really neat hair." So you negative snatch-face's can take your comments and shove them! yeah you heard me! (PS in the photos you can't even see the blue and purple.....someday soon though you will be able to.)

Ask me how to get 10 minute hair!
So I got my hair cut last night and I LOVE IT. Here are the top 5 reasons why:
1. It was free
2. It is awesome
3. It only takes 10 minutes or less to do in the morning.
4. When people ask me where I got it cut and I say my sister then they say “oh is she a hair dresser?” and I say “nope.” I love seeing the look on their face it’s priceless. It’s a combination of you let a non-hair-dresser cut your hair & I pay way too much money and hate my hair!
5. Did I happen to mention it was free and that it is awesome and that it only takes ten minutes to do in the morning? HELLO why wouldn’t I love it?
My supervisor’s face to me getting my hair cut by a non-hair-dresser was classic! It was so worth double the $0 it cost me to get my hair cut!! Yes people I will go on and on about how it only cost $0 for my wonderful hair cut. That’s right $0!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK I’ll move on if you insist! We had fun last night as usual. We ate we felt soft yarn and we talked about funny/stupid people. I attempted to have my mom watch Sweeny Todd and the whole time she is waiting for them to say “I killa tha people, you maka tha pies.” I almost felt bad telling her that it was just something my sister made up. Poor mom only watched the movie so she could hear that but it was not like “the fuzzy end of the lollipop” because there was no preview of the best line only for it to never appear in the movie!! It was a fictional line my sister added for humor. My mom said it would have been better with that line. Also she could not let go of the little boy getting treated badly. She just seemed stuck on the fact that he should not be treated that way. AND the word of the night was IDIOT!
(Yeah here comes more hair cut talk that line up there didn’t stop it from crossing over…what can I do?)
Then my mom was marveling at how well my sister cuts hair. I was acting to matter of fact about it I suppose. My mom says “you act like anyone/you could cut hair that well!” I say “well it’s more like I believe my sister can do anything so I’m not shocked when she cuts my hair well b/c in my mind she does everything well!” I guess I still have little sis looking up to big sis left in me. Just like I’m not shocked when my mom makes something really awesome b/c I believe my mom is super mom and can make anything! I just happen to be a lucky girl who has a super mom & sis!
1. It was free
2. It is awesome
3. It only takes 10 minutes or less to do in the morning.

I am a shopper
I had LOTS of fun with my cousin on Saturday for her 16th birthday. She had never been to ROSS!! (it's a crime against shopping i tell you!) She is so super pretty and nice and greatful she is a very well rounded person! (it's a blast to be around good people.) I got a awesome pair of red shoes! I was going to wear them today but i realized that i would be going to my moms and the head snapper off er so i chose to wear more comfortable shoes. (whatever!) Any ways my cousin is just a lot of fun and i really hope she had a good time with her old bag cousin. (i feel like an old bag only because i remember when she was still in her moms belly! and now she is 16! where did all the time go?)
So the rest of the weekend flew by as usual. I watched "I am Legend" what a waste of time and film. OY!! I also watched "Sweeney Todd!!" That was awesome!! (you killa tha people i maka tha pies!) I also finally went to the storage unit! got rid of some clothes so i could by some more new ones!! (or incorporate the new ones i already bought.) Dan looked at me funny when i apologized to my shoes for keeping them in the scary storage unit telling them i would never do that again. (which as i was saying it i was thinking about how i'm such a liar b/c i will have to do it again when winter comes around.....so what if i need help b/c i felt bad for lying to my shoes!)
With my going home early time on Friday i finished my scarf....no not the red one but the one with the dollar store stuff. It's neat but so not light b/c the stuff was so thick but whatever! i made chicken tortilla soup and i did laundry! it's nice having extra time!!
Tonight i get my hair cut! I can't wait. I think i'm having a hair crisis nothing seems right maybe some day i will find a style i like for more then 2 months. But some would say having a style for more then two months is so pas say. B/c i really don't want to be one of those people that keeps the same hair style they had in high school when they are 50!! Which i've already nipped in the butt b/c my hair was down to my ass in high school and unless i start growing my hair out real soon it will never be there again. Which how in the name of all things fuzzy did i manage that hair i will never know b/c the thought of it makes me shiver!
OK well i suppose i am out for now have a swell Monday.

Another one
It's another Friday and i'm out of training!! THANK GOD!!! My uncle gave my cousin my cell # for the purpose of him calling me to try and get me into a pyramid (triangle whatever) thing!! Come on i was just waiting for what my cousin wanted the whole time b/c the last time i talked to him was 3 Christmases ago maybe even more! So he's saying how he saw my sis at the mall and she was telling him (forced conversation believe me) how she will be working at a hair salon soon.....THAT my friends was many years ago! THAT is how much he knows about my life!! SO i'm thinking the entire time what do you want, what do you want.....WHAT DO YOU WANT!? I hoped it was something like he was throwing a surprise party for someone or he wanted to get together with my mom....BUT no he "meet some business people.....that have been a blessing." COME ON! I was not born yesterday. OY!
On to happier thoughts (please). Because of the training that would never end yesterday i get to leave early today! (double super happy Friday!) Tomorrow i will be taking my cousin to get her nails done and for some shopping! (SHOPPING wahoo!!) I totally forgot about my shopping fun on Wednesday with the best mother in the WORLD! We went to just a dollar where i got a cute star shaped note pad for gel pens and some yarn (well i don't know if you would call it yarn) for a nice light scarf. (yeah i know i have lots of them but to be fair who cares!) Then we had dinner which we both agree we will not do next time it took up too much of our shopping time!! Then we went to fashion bug and value city! Fashion bug was mostly a flop but Value was great....other then the store closing before we got to look at shoes!! They had this really cute button up but i was way too big for it! It was in the juniors so yeah.
What else did i want to talk about......Oh well lets hear a cheer for Katie posting today!! Awesome! Also lets just cheer cause it's FRIDAY!! Friday not as good as Saturday but WAY better then Sunday! Ok i'm done you talk now.

This with That = All of it
As usual the weekend flew by but not with out a few things happening. I went to LUSH again (ok so i need help!). However this time i only spent about 15$ or so. But then we went to Burlington Coat Factory...well they had the most perfect purse and since i didn't spend money at LUSH i rewarded myself for saving so much money there by spending money at BCF. That evens everything out right? Then we went to Trader Joes and I spent some more money BUT it was on snack foods for work so it's kind of like not really spending money since it's money I would spend during the week on crap at 7-11. I like to think about shopping this way. I went to 6 stores and I spent a total of $123 so take that and divide it by 6 and you get $20.50 per store. That is so not a lot of money at all! Or I can even think this way..... the money i spent on myself was only $77 so if i divide that by 6 you get $12.84 per store come on! that is AWESOME! I am AWESOME. (or totally delusional.....it's all the same in the end.)
So anyways after the shopping fun I went to my honey's cousins B-Day party. It was nicer then usual, i think b/c i initiated conversations this time. Other wise everyone would have sat around waiting for someone else to talk. Where is this magical person that is going to talk? I guess that magical person is me. Then we had the bright idea to go to AC. It's nice to see the some what pretty buildings (the inside of them) but i don't gamble. I like to have my money to throw away on things not just throw away! like i would rather have a purse, shoes, or lunch one day then put my money in a slot machine and lose it. So we were there and I read my book while Dan & Heather gambled. Dan lost $1.30 (he's a high roller like me) and Heather may have lost $20 only b/c she pressed the wrong button. So at least no one lost hundreds or thousands of $$s!
Then i got yummy pizza on Sunday and visited my grandma. Monday I got my head snapped of then went to my moms. My mom made TORTILLAS and we decided the next president shall be TORTILLAS so if a enough people write in on election day maybe we can see TORTILLAS dreams come true i mean this is after all the land of opportunity right? My mom also made yummy bran muffins (even if muffins are ugly cupcakes little big sis) and brownies!! YUM! My muffin had a strawberry in the middle double yum!! I arrived home with yet another new scarf, i wonder when i'll be put on a limit of those......
I get my head snapped off tonight again as well as Wednesday but it is helping and that's all a girl can really ask for.
IRTC: MSI sounds interesting too bad i already bought tickets so i suppose i will either sit up stairs or stand way in the back in hopes of not getting anything thrown onto me. Plus i can always leave early.
I do agree the word "Mother" gets thrown around like candy and i cherish the word. I hate when people want me to call their moms mom, I have one Mom and she is the best sorry if i refuse to soil her good name. Not that other moms aren't good but MY MOM is the best and that is why i will only call her Mom. (plus the fact that I only emerged from one....well you know so how can i call other people mom?)

Spoon & My Soul
I sold my soul to a cigarette company last night for: 1 free t-shirt (that turned into 2), 1 free drink (a bottle of water for me), 1 awesome free photo, & 1 free jump drive. Ok so maybe not my soul but my address and name. Which most likely means I'll be receiving ads for the rest of my life and possibly even after I'm dead. However if lifelock is really worth their money I should never see this "junk" mail.....we shall see.
The Spoon concert was well....the Walkmen were good.....Spoon not so good....their sound was really bad and i thought it was my bad hearing, Heather thought it was the fact that she was buzzed....but apparently it was just the fact that their sound sucked. But we got tons of free stuff! you might wonder how 1 free t-shirt turned into 2 well.......we were on our way to the bathroom and the 2nd free t-shirt was on the floor just sitting there. It was in a plastic bag and it was not in the bathroom.....so it was sanitary (or as sanitary as anything can be at a concert). BUT here is the really funny part. Heather and I got the same t-shirt b/c we both liked the one, cool we thought. Then the one that we found on the ground in a plastic bag was a guy size....perfect for Dan. We didn't know what design was on it b/c you have to leave it folded so it does not get messed up until you get home and can hang it to dry. So i get home and unfold it only to find it is the same design as ours!! So now we all have the same shirt.....HAHAHA

This is a thought of frustration....
As my mom and i are sitting on her couch talking for the millionth time about parent child relationships and the conversation takes it's usually turn to me stating how not having a father was just fine by me. How my mom did the job of both so well that i never for one moment growing up thought hey why don't i have a dad? Then finally i tell her that the ONLY reason i would have wanted a father (and not mine PLease! but a good one) was so that she could have someone.
I said to her (for real) how did she do it all alone? HOW? But it's not just that she didn't have a husband I told her it's also the fact that she didn't have an awesome mom to call to make things all better like I do!! In all seriousness she didn't have anyone. Some of her family was slightly supportive but not to the point that she could call them and feel good or that they would come to visit her. Her parents (both sets) were pretty much useless. She made friends while we lived in CA and i suppose that was her support system but it seems to me she supported them a whole lot more then they did her.
I feel like I have been through somethings (nothing really when you look at other people but anyways) and I don't know how I would have gotten through those things without my mom and yes even my sister. BUT here's the thing my mom was raising 2 small children in a new place she didn't know very well and doing it all while helping other people along the way. She didn't have a super mom to call and ask for advise or help. She didn't have a husband or boyfriend to lean on in hard times.....all she had was herself. She told me that while going through everything you don't think about what is going on you just get done what needs to be done.
BUT the thing she said that really lets me know that she is without a doubt the BEST SUPER MOM in the WHOLE WORLD is... Look at it this way all I wanted out of life was to be a mother and I got what I wanted so I'm happy.
So don't wonder why I will always say she is the greatest and don't wonder why I sometimes think I'm the shit.....she gave me confidence and if I say anything in this Life most nothing will be more true then the fact that my MOM is amazing, wonderful, awesome, strong, and every positive thing you can think of.
So where is the frustration.....you know where it is.....it's in the fact that she still thinks she could have done better for my sister and I..... But when you already have the BEST how can you do better? (just so you know you can't.)

From me to you
Howdy hi hello holla greetings good day good evening....
moving on.
I hung out with the best mom in the world (or BMITW) last night. She made me yummy tortillas and a scarf! I almost finished my red scarf. (i started it changed my mind about the width took it all out and started again....) I spit OJ all over the kitchen floor as well as myself. which always means you had a good time. I was totally thrown off when i 1st arrived at my moms b/c Pizza guy was walking a pug by my moms house. My mom......so strange. But he waved and asked how i was. He was always nice. but it was all so strange.
Still pushing my way through all this insurance and car crap! It's more then knee deep! I have to start seeing a chiropractor and even though he touches people for a living i still don't like the idea of him touching me! But i need to be able to reach behind me and turn my neck no matter the pace! So much more things to do with this crap, I just want it all back to normal!
Littlebigsis hope you are feeling better. Also hope the new job is going well. We missed you last night (even if i have to sit on the cold chair when your around).
I'll be going to see Spoon on Thursday. Looking forward to it even if i never really listened to their music. I like live music it's always an experience. So far in my life i have seen:
-No Doubt they were just awesome. Gwen was so cute and all over the place!
-DMB to be honest it will most likely be the only time i will go to a big venue to see someone it's so stupid b/c it's like watching it on TV. They were good and all but so far away what is the point?!
-the Matches & Yellow Card. They were both awesome.
-Motion City Sound Track & Sugarcult. They were pretty bad ass.
-The Ataris and a bunch of others at an outdoor festival they were ok. It was the end of a long day so it was like ok enough already.
-Zwan loved them didn't love the others there to see them....meaning the nasty crowd of nastys
-the Yeah Yeah Yeahs LOVE you Karen O! That show was AWESOME for sure almost as good as No Doubt except there is nothing like your first time.
-the Prodigy they were awesome extra points because it was in NY double points because they went into the crowd!
-the Bravery they were decent. but again the crowd (post for another time).
-Lifehouse they were ok it was more fun watching my friend b/c she is the one who wanted to see them i just went along for the ride.
The bands that i have up coming:
-Spoon (yeah i need to go listen to some of their music too)
-Mindless Self Indulgence (can't wait!)
-the Matches (with some other groups) I really can't wait for them!!
-Regina Spektor (she will hopefully be cool)
Have a swell day.

wahoo for you!
Last day!! LAST DAY!! this is the last day song la la la laaaaaa last day song....la la la la la la laaaaaa last day song!!! (this is dedicated to you littlebigsis!!)
Today is Friday!! So there are two dances to do.....the last day dance and the Friday dance!! I maybe tired and a little sore from imitating you Blazer at a rock concert guy and your totally 80s girlfriend maybe wife, but i can still do a last day and Friday dance!! It may not be fair to have been imitating you and your women but it sure was fun. I'm also sure that while i was doing that someone saw me and thought what is that whack job doing OMG and they proceeded to imitate me....then someone saw them and imitated them and so on and so on till it got all the way back to Blazer at a rock concert guy and maybe just maybe that's why he kept dancing the way he was dancing b/c he was imitating someone who was imitating someone that was imitating someone that was imitating another someone that was imitating me who was imitating him. The circle of life people the circle of life.
You see how exciting my life is? This is stuff you can't just make up! Well it's Friday in case you couldn't tell and i got um 5.5 hours of sleep. and my brain functions are at an all time low so this post will be short.
Sorry.

My left foot!
I called my insurance company to see how my claim was going. The guy is telling me there is a payment in the mail. I'm like huh?!? I said you mean his insurance company is already paying the claim? Then he says "No i meant we have sent a check in the mail to pay the rental car company." Ok like i give a rats ass about that!!
So then he tries the Bull shit line of "we are still waiting on the police report." So I say "I can fax you a copy because I have it." Then all the sudden he has it! It's in their system as of that morning! So it's going to be like this!! Oy! Maybe I will call the guys insurance company and take care of business! Oh and i forgot the best part the claims guy tells me "His insurance company might call you with any questions they have." OK that already happened!! And where were these words of "wisdom" before they called me? I am really pissed and I do believe i am going to have to complain to my agent and who ever else will listen b/c these people get 100$ a month from me!! I should be able to get better service then this!! I should feel a little more at ease but i don't!
Grrrr!

What a dandyriffic day!?! The girl that works in my office with me is out sick, which means it’s lonely today. I am up front right now in an empty office! Everyone has left for lunch, which I like the empty part if I have to be up front. Even if I don’t know how to work the phones….I’m sure I can figure them out. Right?
I think Dan and I are turning too much into each other. I guess that happens after almost 3 years together with 2 years and 9 months of that time living together. But the reason I say this is because the other night we are trying to figure out what to have for dinner and I suggested Chicken alfredo b/c we had all the stuff for it. he says “I don’t want any chicken because the last time I had it, it was gross.” That is totally something I would say!! I’m the one who usually gets grossed out by chicken and wont eat it for 1-2 weeks depending on the incident. There are plenty of other things that he does that I would do or I do that he would do. (wow read that sentence 5 times fast!!) But I just found him saying that to be to over the top for me. Too funny!
An update on my accident, I got my car back on Friday, the insurance company has not called me since the whole thing that happened on Thursday last week. The police officer and I keep playing phone tag. I am seriously not happy with the police report b/c it seems to lean towards the guy who slammed into me. Personally I was always under the impression that the person with the rear end damage is the one NOT at fault. Unless it is a pile up, for instance an old man smacks into a line of cars stopped at a red light causing a chain reaction of cars hitting cars hitting cars!!! So I will be working my hardest to figure out what can be done to rectify the situation. Oh and the guy who hit me will be charged with hit and run.
What else what else…..
