me, throwing a tantrum

i want, I Want, I WANT!!!!

i was checking out the website of the most fabulous barenaked ladies, only to find that they are doing ships and dip v, which is in fact their third caribbean cruise (http://www.shipsanddip.com/). they do a cruise with their favorite band friends and the entertainment every night is a barenaked ladies concert. it's like my dream vacation. it's for the first week of february, but it's about $850 for the cruise in the very cheapest quad occupancy cabin. and that doesn't include getting to miami for the cruise departure. i'm so sad. it's not even that i'd miss a week of school, because it wouldn't even matter that much at that point in the semester. i don't have money to go. i'd almost be willing to give up my europe trip to go on ships and dip v. but only almost. but still. i want to go!!!! (big disappointed sigh)

astrology

i was just poking around on msn today and found an article about astrological signs and pet peeves. for as little faith as i put into astrology (none at all), it sometimes hits the nail right on the head.

Aquarius:
You're the rebel, the radical, and the eccentric in every group, whether it's family, friends, or your team at work. You love and cultivate those labels because of the freedom they allow you to be yourself. The worst thing, then - the very worst thing of all, in your eyes - is being pressed into a mold, being told what to do, having to obey, and being forced to act like everyone else. It's simply not acceptable - and it doesn't happen often…

this may very well explain my aversion to high school reunions. hmmm, that's one to think about.

ode to go

this lovely item, basking in the ethereal glow of my computer screen, has just captured my heart. i had some little stains on the upholstery in my car that were starting to bug a little too much. i was looking for a cheap cleaning option, and this was it. honestly, i was a little skeptical. can a little wonderpen filled with tide really do that much?? well, yes, it actually can. my car is now approximately 3.4 stains lighter and looking prettier than she has since, well, since those stains made their way into her pearly grey interior. i now understand why people register for these at bed bath and beyond for their weddings. that doesn't make it any less ridiculous to register for one or three, but if someone wanted to buy one for me, i wouldn't turn it down. so, my new-found friend is happily resting in the pencil cup on my desk, ready at a moment's notice to free my world of the embarassment that sometimes occurs because i'm old enough to be allowed to eat without a bib. or a drop cloth, for that matter.

withdrawls

i shouldn't have read so fast. i'm having a hard time wanting to do anything except read vampire books again. a lot more difficult now that i don't have work to distract me. on the other hand, i don't have any reason NOT to reread the whole series. i could be done in a week (or less based on past experience). what a dilemma. i'm thinking of a new crafty project to work on, but it's only putting off the inevitable. i must either get a life or start reading the books again. and i think we all know what is the easiest option of the two. i'll keep you posted on THAT little internal battle.

whoa, baby!!

was that a good book!!! yes, i'm done already, and no, i didn't have to stay up all night to do it. i read for 2.5 hours after work until sarah and the fam came over. we chatted and ate dinner and they left shortly after 8. then it was back to work. 4.5 hours later, i couldn't keep my eyes open any longer and had to drag myself to bed. 8 hours later, feeling fully rested, i was back at it for 3 hours before i had to get ready for church (only 75 pages from the end, i might add). things were just starting to get really tense. and church miraculously did not seem like the normal 3 hours that it is, and then i was freeeee! i skipped all of the socializing after church so i could run home and finish. and finish i did. and it was soo good and pretty much as perfect as i could have hoped for. and can i just say that whoever did the cover art on this series deserves a huge raise because now that i get the whole picture, the cover art is so symbolic and, for lack of a better word, PERFECT. they should get really big bonuses. all of them. that is my rave review of breaking dawn, not giving away any of the plot because i know that laura doesn't even have her copy yet, and she would make a special trip from green river to beat me if i gave anything away. haha. can't wait for you to read it, laura. you'll like it so much more than the other three, i'm pretty sure. i'll just say i'm not disappointed one little bit. very much worth the wait. and now i'm going to socialize because that's what sundays are for when you are old and single like me :)

the suspense is killing me. . .

and for once i don't hope that it lasts!! i'm sitting here at work and just dying to go home and read breaking dawn. i've been waiting for this day all summer. not only is it my last day of real work for a while, it is also new vampire book day! i can't wait to read it. it's going to be so so so good. i'll let you know how good later after i actually read it. but in the mean time i'll just be beating my head against the wall (figuratively) because these people won't stop calling so i can go home and read!!
