I just opened up a Word Seek book and the first puzzle I opened to was this:
Find the word skirt 28 times hidden in the box. 23 so far! That is a lot of skirts, even for me!

Extra Cheese Please!
I love the Daily Show for being fair and balanced. Although an avid Obama supporter, I thoroughly enjoyed this clip. Guess it just goes to show that sometimes it is the packaging more so than the contents! Although I have faith that the contents are a bit more quality this time around as well. Also, had anyone else ever thought about cheese on chinese food? How funny and true!

Also, getting a hair cut today! Actually in about 30 minutes. Trying a new funky place called Snipz. I'm excited to try it out. I saw an article about it in the paper, and it looked like a great place. Close to work too! 604 Baltimore in Waterloo! (This just in, post-post....best haircut of my life!)
My mom suggested I start Mystery School through the Grove this year. She gifted me the year, so I am super excited. I will probably not participate in person this year unless I make great strides in with my anxiety issues, but I'm very excited for the online participation and the personal growth that is sure to come!
If you are interested in more info you can go to www.dianasgrove.com They also have a dog rescue! Pretty awesome.

Coconut Lime Verbena
This is my new fave Bath and Body Works scent. I always loved it when my friend Mandy had the lotion in her office, but for some reason never thought to buy it. Well, I got some lotion in my stocking just by chance this year for Christmas. I decided to go out and buy body spray and bath wash too! Although, now I'm beginning to wonder if I'm allergic. I have crazy sneezing fits every morning when I get to work. I wonder if it is from dousing myself with the body spray. I hope not because I looooove it!

Short Hair: The New Drug
Well, I'm still waiting to see the hot new pics of my friend Josie and her recent hair chop! But, she did remind me that I need to get mine cut again. It is amazing once you go short, how much you notice that it has grown in places you don't want it to. The back of my hair needs to be trimmed up again.
Actually, I have a new inspiration. Aeon Flux/Rhianna.
I just don't think my hair dresser trusts that I want it to be kind of "edgy". I feel dumb saying that, but I don't want it to be all perfectly bobbed and cutsy. So, I'm sure I'll be calling for a spur of the moment hair cut soon! Wish me luck!
And Josie, if you read this...get crackn on the pic posts! Or come see me:)

I'm Yours
I'm guessing this song is overplayed and really popular right now. I say guessing because I don't really listen to much besides 97.7 Classic Rock (although is Pearl Jam and Counting Crows classic already? If it is...kill me now) so I don't really know for sure. Additionally, it has that "hey I'm different and kind of cool" sound that makes all the kids flock to it even though it isn't really all that different.
Anyway, every time I have heard this song which has been a handful, I absolutely love it. I plan to get it on my IPOD tonight! Sorry for those who know it is overplayed and hate it now because of it:)

Me watching current movies? Who is this strange woman?
As most of my family and friends know, I don't really enjoy going to movies. I mean, once I go, its fine. But, the idea of going is not all too thrilling. Expensive, uncomfortable, potentially trapped in the middle of a row, and no pause capabilities. But, I have found this great web site. You can watch movies online at http://www.watch-movies.net/
You don't have to download anything to do this, so I don't think it is illegal on my part. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they are bad quality, sometimes they are picture perfect. I got lucky and found picture perfect for Benjamin Button and 7 Pounds. Usually, I would have never seen these until they made their way on to cable.
Well, I didn't plan on seeing Seven Pounds based on my family's recommendation that it would destroy me. It pretty much did. I'm a wuss and hate to cry at movies. I cried a lot. But, I figured it would be good and since I was prepared, I would risk it. I am glad I saw it. Wil Smith did an awesome job. It was just pretty sad.
Benjamin Button was really good too. It was long...3 hours. I was glad I got to watch it at home because I took lots of breaks. It was kind of like a good book more than a movie. I won't discuss in detail, but I have some concerns with logic (yes other than the obvious subject of the movie) at the end. So, if you have seen it, I need someone to bounce the concerns off of.
So, I'm actually hoping to see more movies now that I can do it from my own home. At least until they shut the site down which I'm sure will inevitably happen.

Good year so far:)
The dogs of the night...Luna and Lilly.

Kala, Emily, and the demon child apparently.
Pix and Emily
Kala rocking the Jenga!
Me and Kala.
Well, the year is off to a good start. First off, our roommate Ben moved out. Not that Ben was a bad roommate. But can I just tell you I love wondering around in my house without clothes! It is so awesome to do that again! And then, we officially kicked it off at Seth and Kala's house which is documented above!
Secondly, with that comes my new and improved exercise room. My mom gave me her elliptical machine to hold on to for her and it has been in the dark and dingy basement. Now it is in our extra bedroom with light and windows and room to move! I love it. Had my first workout of the year last night! Thanks to Mariah for talking to me and keeping me moving 30 minutes more than I probably would have gone!
Thirdly, dog walks! Loving the dog walks. Even more so now that I have my fabtastic snowsuit! I remember the days of begging and pleading to not have to wear these to school any longer. I could hardly wait to get my hands on this one so I could walk the dogs through hell, high water, or Iowa winter! Below is a picture of the snow suit or coverall I like to refer to it. I was practically dying of heat exhaustion last night on our walk. In fact I went close to 2 miles with Jack and Lucy because I was so warm! I've been told by Josh that I look like a giant turd which I'm guessing is accurate based on what I can see of myself without a mirror. I'll have to take a picture and post it for your comic relief.
