Did I really just SEE that?

Let me set up a picture for you: I work in a motel, which is across from a Hispanic church. The Hispanic church used to be a PAWN shop. I kid you not. Apparently, pawn shops convert into churches here in Oxford. In the front of the church/former pawn shop, there are glass doors. And I SWEAR that I just saw a NAKED man walk from one side to the other of the doors. I could be wrong, or he could be in head to toe khaki or something. I mean, there is somewhat of a distance between here and there, but WOW. Looked like a naked man walking around in a church. (I suppose they have something going on on Thursdays, BTW- I realize it's not a normal church day.)

My hair looks REALLY good today. I felt you should know that. It's all flowy and shiny. Mah-va-lous, dah-ling.

My dryer almost burned my duplex down today. BIG NEWS there. Apparently, the hose on the back of it that sends lint and condensation came off and my laundry room was BURNING hot, and completely covered in lint and condensation. We're talking, fuzzy water on the walls, doors, and anything else in our tiny laundry room. I discovered this minutes before going to class when my SMOKE ALARM was set off by my DRYER!

Recently, I've become hooked on Capri Suns. Like, I wish I one of those beer hats, but for Capri Sun pouches, so I can drink two at a time with NO HANDS!

Also- on to TV news-

America's Next Top Model- Ebony SO deserved to go home. I don't know why Tyra chose Ambreal to go over Ebony because Ebony had a stank attitude. In the end, though, Ebony used her stank attitude for good when she was like, "I've gotta be honest. I wanna go home." So, Ambreal got to stay and Ebony's stank attitude went home. She was just- BLAH. And...stank. There are no other words for it.

ALSO in TV news- on Bridezillas last night, I witnessed the first Bridezillas Stand-Up. The guy just didn't show up for the wedding. Just No Call- No Showed. Let me just tell you men-folk: Standing a woman up on her wedding day (especially since this particular woman PAID for ALL of it by her damn self) is one of the LOWEST thing you can do to a woman (non-abusively.) And then- and THEN- she took him back the next day & they eloped to VEGAS and got married in a damn Vegas "chapel." OMG- No. I would've have been like, "F*** BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP!" And then I would've gone to jail, because of assault.

Bwah ha ha!

I just got off the phone with my archnemesis. She was pleasant today. I've been waiting on her email for 2 - count 'em- TWO weeks & within 2- count 'em- TWO minutes of getting off the phone, my email was in my Inbox. That's how Sarah CrabWalk gets stuff done! What??!!??

This morning was one of those mornings that I really should've just stayed in bed. However, before I left for class, my supervisor told me, "I really appreciate you and the work you do." It made me feel good about myself.

)Growl( I don't wanna do anything today. Yet- I have 1 hr, 40 min. of office time left, then another hr. of NewsWatch crap, then probably an hour or two of package filming. I just wanna crawl in bed and watch "Friends" re-runs today. With a mug of hot chocolate, heavy on the marshmallows.

Ahhh Sweet Godiva

My hubby-licious Husband welcomed me after class today with a Caramel Apple Cider from Starbuck's & 2 Godiva Milk Chocolate bars. *sigh* YUM. He's dreamy.

Today's been a disgustingly miserable day. It's been rainy & cold all day long. I could barely make it through my morning class. I made a 90A on my latest package. And quite frankly- I'm a little pissed about that. I think it was DEFINITELY better than my last one, of which I also got a 90A on. So- my next package- it's gonna have to be ROCKIN'!! However, I am thankful for my A, as I understand that very few people in the class actually got As. So- yay!

There's only a month & a week left of actual school. (If you don't count the week of Thxgiving & the week of -gag- finals.) I'm so excited. I only have ONE class next semester! Yay! So, I'll probably spend more time interning. Or not. Maybe I should just take the semester to calm the ef down before I step into the "real" world. I'm so not ready for that.

Today- in class- we were going over this girl's story, which was set in Austria. This dumb girl in my class said, "I don't understand why the desk clerks don't speak English. I mean, shouldn't they speak English is Americans go there to visit?!?" Stupid! About 90% of our clientele is Hispanic. I don't speak Spanish. Heck naw. You come to my country & you learn to talk to me. I will not cater to you!! *shakes fist*

ALSO- I may or may not have a harrassment suit against me soon. Long story & far to complicated to blog about. Just thought I'd mention it if it came to fruition.

Wet -n- Cold

It's a miserable day in the neighborhood. Rainy & chilly. My feet and the bottems of my pants are frozen. That's the grossest feeling I can think of. That- and my legs are fuzzy. I. Am. Disgusting.

Mandy Lynn got kicked off of "America's Most Smartest Model" last night. Can't say I hated to see her go. She seemed like a real sweetheart, but her face was sooo ugly. However, I will say this- she took the judges advice week-by-week and applied it! I had to give her mad props for that.

I pulled something in my back last night. I was flipping over and simultaneously trying to get closer to Brandon when my lower back just said "NO!" I felt like one of the wrestler's whenever they try to dive onto someone from one of the corner posts & they hit the mat instead & they just kinda flop around in pain, clutching their back. That's what I looked like around 1:00 a.m. this morning. Brandon got all scared & wanted to go to the hospital (mainly because I was crying like a baby & could barely move.) And I was like, "No- let's wait it out til morning." (mainly because we don't have any insurance.) And today- it just feels like the leftover pains from a Charlie Horse.

So happy to be married.

I'm sitting here listening to one of my nearest and dearest friends cry over the phone lines because her long-distance boyfriend's psychotic ex-girlfriend got his car taken away from him the day before he was supposed to come see her. Apparently, the car was in the ex-girlfriend's name and it was "supposed to have been taken care of." And what-not. Blowing smoke up her ass or truth? Who knows? But, I do feel sad for my friend. Thank God I'll never have to go through the relationship b.s. like that again.

On the flip-side, another one of my nearest and dearest is going through the beginning stages of a budding relationship. She's got a crush and all signs are pointing to he has a crush on her, too. There's something special about that. And it does make me sad that I'll never experience that again.

But overall, this morning, I woke up to my hubby making me breakfast and babying me because I wasn't feeling so good. He just loved on me and made me laugh so hard that it hurt. And in those moments, I wouldn't trade the newness of a first kiss or all the giddiness of "Oh my God- I think he likes me!" for what I have now.

Twice in One Week!

That's just scandelous!

I've had 2 stories that I've done be the top story on the NewsDesk this week! Whoot. I don't know how to install links to them, but if you go to olemiss.edu, and click on the NewsDesk link, there's a story about the Acropolis and about David Galef winning the Fulbright. I'm awesome. (Considering the fact that each story took WEEKS to get done & get approvals for.)

We went over my package in class today & it was met with mostly warm reviews from Dr. Schultz. I'm excited about that. And I knew my flaws before he said them, so I think he was impressed by that. Again, I'm awesome.

It seems we have a little mousy friend running around the motel somewhere. Maybe I'll write a children's book about it. But- maybe there already is a children's book about a mouse that lives in a motel... Hmmm... I'll look into that before I write it.

Before Nov. 1st, I have to write 14 pages of SOMETHING. I wonder how impressed Prof. Pendarvis would be if I turned in 14 pages about a mouse living in a motel. Ha ha. Probably not very. But, if he was...man, would I be awesome! :-)

I renewed my car insurance today. MAN! Did that hurt? $369. (However, if paid in installments, I would pay $469. And since I'm not down for LOSING money, I had to suck it up & take it out of my savings account.) *Sigh*

"America's Next Top Model" blurb- I liked that Janet looked like Liza. It made her interesting. However, she was a little annoying. So, sure- kick her off. And I understand that Heather has Ausberger's, which makes her a little socially awkward, but MAN- she is so annoying. Yet- she's been Cover Girl's Model of the Week, like, every week, because she's "such an inspiration." Whatever. Don't know what it is- but she irritates the snot out of me. And that's why my sinuses are acting up!

My Ovary Hurts

I'm assuming it's my ovary. It feels slightly ovarian.

My Jour teacher commending me on my interview framing today. Score one for me! Altho, quite frankly, the rest of the package- not so hot. But, maybe he'll just be so impressed w/ my interview framing, I'll get an A anyways.

I missed my Engl class because I was stuck in the editing lab. The thing is- I should have been done before class started. HOWEVER, I tried doing my editing like my Jour teacher told us to do it in class & I screwed everything up and had to start over about an hour before class started. So, I missed it. And feel terribly bad about that, too. Truly. Because just Thursday, I was saying how I wasn't going to miss anymore classes this semester.

I felt very smart today. An article on Jennifer Anniston said she was feeling a bit like "Walter Mitty." AND I KNOW WHO THAT IS! Suck it down tabloids trying to sound smart. I got your joke. I've read Thurber. (Or some of him. Thx Boz.)
