"I drank WHAT?"
Well today was a very mellow day. I'm feeling last night so we pretty much ditched all of our plans and put them off 'til tomorrow. We went driving around the mansions on Bayshore and Hyde Park, then to the International Plaza for a short run, and ate dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. A quick stop by ABC and it was homeward bound again... I'll probably be in a coma next week, but it's well worth it! See the entry just below this one for photos!

Ain't nuthin' but a G-thang
It's late as you can see by the time-stamp, so no witty commentary. I'll let the photos speak for themselves. Especially the second one! (I give you photo 1 and photo 2.) More to follow later...after sleep!

Soooooo...
You know your husband feels like he's in for a wonderful weekend when your own mother leaves the following comment in this old entry : "Don't forget how Kathy always helped you with your Victoria's Secret fetish too! ;)"

Oh yeah, this should be fun! *evil grin* Have a great weekend!

Damaged goods?
This will be short 'n' sweet as Kathy gets here in just a few more hours...but remember this entry? Well, good news -- I "passed" (or is it flunked?) -- and don't have to deal with that for another four years (unless my condition improves). At least the weekend is starting off on a good note! Have a great weekend everyone! Hopefully we'll have all sorts of photos for your viewing enjoyment soon.

Fiddle-e-aye, fiddle-e-aye ay!

For better or for worse...to have and to strangle...

Tonight I ran across this cake topper again and thought I'd share since the spring and summer wedding season is just about upon us. It features the bride strangling the groom -- something all past, present, and future brides can relate to after being nose-deep in wedding planning for months on end! The price is right, too, as far as cake toppers go... Definitely one I'd have picked out if given the option!

Tuesday means...
It's time for Ashley's "This or That"!

Do you answer the phone on the first ring? Yes or no? No. We wait for Caller ID to show up first. We're lazy like that.
Which is worse: door-to-door salesmen or telemarketers? Door-to-door salesman. I hate slamming doors in people's faces, but won't think a thing about doing that with the phone (after saying "put me on your do not call list"). You can also turn the ringer off -- the doorbell will ring regardless of whether or not you answer it.
Which is worse: the phone company or the oil company? The oil company. But ask me again after our next Verizon bill...
Cordless phone, cellular phone, or corded phone? All three. Cordless for the house. Cellular for Todd on the road to and from work. And corded because with summer storms in Florida, you've got to have a non-electric-reliant option on hand.
Phone number: write it down or remember it? WRITE IT DOWN! (And then lose it most likely...sigh...)
When you tell a date, "I'll call you", do you mean it? Yes or no? Sure do. Unless my health gets in the way...
Do you own one phone? Two? Three? More? Three in the house and one cell phone.
Have you purchased anything by phone? Yes or no? Yes. I do a lot of our shopping online and via catalogs since I can't always get out.
Have you ever called someone and then hung up before you spoke? Yes or no? The most embarassing time this happened was right after Todd and I started dating. I still had his parents' house in my memory -- one off from my Gma. When his dad answered, I recognized the voice and what I'd done and promptly hung up without saying anything. Wouldn't you know (this was 1992) they had JUST got Caller ID for the first time and were just itching to bust someone. I could have DIED. I still don't know if Todd really believes it was a mistake. LOL!
Do you own an answering machine? We have voicemail through our phone company so a message can still be left if we're on the phone.

I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom
Kathy will be here in two more days -- I can't wait! (She's been one of my best friends since we were 15 years old.) While doing a little digging online about Tampa Bay, Kathy discovered that Digital Underground ("The Humpty Dance, here's your chance, to do the hump") are going to be at Empire Friday night. The question is...are we that brave?

Here's a cool free tip from today's "Call For Help": Sick of trying to type out long URLs in e-mails and what-have-you? Visit TinyURL.com and it will help you create a short redirect to that site you can then add to your browser's toolbar. You can also use it to redirect to any page at your website if you are burdened with a long URL -- or hide URLs you don't want seen by others!

Well it looks like MGM and United Artists have finally come to their senses and will allow the new Austin Powers flick to be titled "Goldmember". I was most-amused by the list of alternate titles in the works though: Live and Let Shag, You Only Shag Thrice, Never Say Member Again, and License to Shag

Reason #4762 why I hate Hollywood
So "Bridget Jones's Diary" is on Starz right now. We're watching out of sick curiousity I guess. I seriously darn-near went postal during the commercial previews phase for the film in 2001, as listening to Renee Zellweger butcher her English accent was extremely painful on the ears. But there's nothing on TV tonight...so here we landed.

It's probably going to be difficult for me to get past any redeeming qualities for the film - if there are any - after the start of Bridget reading her diary aloud ("Weight: 136. Goal: lose 20 lbs.") Granted, I'm 5'10". But after reading interview after interview about all that weight Miss Zellweger gained for the film (and what a miracle it was that she lost it again so quickly in order to get back to the standard Hollywood size 0-2) - I'm sorry - but I just don't see where she was so vulgar and disgusting "with the fat on". In my wedding photos I'm at, what I consider to be, my "ideal weight". And can you believe I weighed in at an ungraceful 145 lbs. in those photos, "with a bottom the size of Brazil", according to Bridget? The horror!

Hollywood blows.

At My Most Beautiful by REM.
Jump in the River by Sinéad O'Connor.
Supervixen and Vow by Garbage.
Bathwater by No Doubt.
White Lines (cover) by Duran Duran.

Monday Mission
Here's this week's Monday Mission!

When was the last time your computer crashed? What happened? That would be the Dell story...and...I bought a Mac! True "final straw" moment.
Recommend a movie (new or old) for us to watch. I'll recommend a new and old. If you like b&w movies, my favorite of all-time is "Jezebel" with Bette Davis and Henry Fonda. As for new, we just watched "Zoolander" over the weekend. Although I expected to hate it, I laughed all the way through.
When was the last time someone told you that you were attractive (and you actually believed them)? That would probably be my wedding day. It's the last day I actually felt attractive (meaning, I wasn't sick yet).
Do you like to sleep in or wake up with the chickens? SLEEP IN. That's a no-brainer. My mom always said I was the only toddler on the block that knew Johnny Carson by sight.
Are you gay, straight or bi? Ever been tempted to go the other way? Straight - and never been curious, although I've been propositioned. It's just something I've just always "known" in my own case.
What will be the next computer-related purchase you will make? Hopefully an AirPort so I can finally go wireless!
I soak up affection like a sponge. But in my current relationship, sadly, I am the giver. The only hugs I get are the ones I initiate (and those become fewer and fewer). I tell you, I would be putty in your hands if you were to be affectionate to me. What is your role when you are in relationships? A giver, a taker, or is it an equal balance? In our marriage, it's very much an equal balance. Although I was insecure throughout several of my earlier relationships and I was almost-always the giver.

BONUS: Would I lie to you? Now would I say something that wasn't true? I'm asking you sugah...

Well it looks like my blog is back to normal now (or at least as close to normal as it will ever get. The skins are working. The search is working.

Hey -- welcome to the new digs! There are going to be some bugs for the next few days until the DNS catches up with me. The ~~skins won't work~~. The ~~search won't work~~. And links to individual posts in the sidebar ~~will take you to the wrong place~~. But at least here I'm online. So buckle up. The ride may be bumpy...but it's filled with panties! Thanks for being patient. And have a great weekend!
