Tonight I went to Amigos for a couple of Mararitas with my friend Josie. I was going to say coworker, but I feel she is a friend at this point...not just a coworker. She is so great to just blab to about my stress. With the new direction I am taking in my life as far as being positive and "not taking things personally" and all that jazz, sometimes it gets hard, and you still need someone to vent to. Thank goodness I do have all my friends that I work with...we waste many an hour just debriefing about work and personal life during work hours. I wish I still had the entire crew there, but they are still with me in spirit, I know!
Anyway, even when you are trying to stay positive and be impeccable with your word...it can be hard to never gossip or just unload about shit. Josie is a good one to do that with because she will let you do that, and then remind you that there are more important things to focus on....that life is great! That I have so much to be thankful for....Thanks Josie!

Seriously?!
Did more than half of my last post seriously consist of information regarding Jessica Simpson? What is that about? I don't even listen to her music. I'm am drawn to weird things sometimes.
I'm also working on the first month of Mystery School. I can tell it is going to be a tough but introspective year ahead. It is really hard to describe what is going on right now. I'm having a tough time wrapping my mind around it without explaining it. Basically, it is more questioning on why and how we have come to be who we are. I really love it and hope to become more involved in the conversations that take place with the other Mysteries.
I also hope that perhaps before the year is over, I can find the strength to visit the Grove! I just want to see all the doggies. Doggie heaven!!!!

Updates and ramblings
Well, it is the Monday after SBS! Josh teased me incessantly about not playing the part of the good SB wife and making up the snacks. Finally, in a moment of true frustration, he set out to cut the meat and cheese tray during the last 54 seconds of the first half. As most of you know, he missed a big play. I was actually in to the game and was screaming my butt off and he was very annoyed and pissed at me and his friend Travis. We were slightly amused at his impatience which led to the event that led to the annoyance at ME! My bad...oh well, I never said I was wife material:) But, he got over it.
Loved the Obama interview prior to the game or whenever that aired, and I love how his comment on Jessica Simpson covering his face on the cover of People. "Apparently she is facing a weight crisis. Ah well." Josh and I were dying. Video here. (although labeled "Obama calls JS fat, he is not...he is joking about how stupid the title is from what I can tell). Especially after we saw this The Soup clip..about a minute in, Joel discusses the crisis in Jessica Simpson mom jeans news. Which, yeah, not so flattering, but I don't think she has gotten to the point where she could be called fat. I'd be willing to guess she is still thinner than me. Sorry, I don't consider myself fat, so perhaps we just need a call in to What not to Wear as opposed to Weight Watchers. Or maybe we cold all just get a life.
Additionally, in my quest to defend us short chunksters everywhere, I found this video of JS. Proving as a photographer once told me, two demensions really packs the weight on as compared to three dimensions. She looks SKINNY in the video...although the pants are still unflattering...but I'm not Stacy and Clinton either so I have no room to talk.
Anyway...other than that...life is swell. HOpe everyone else is doig well.

Skirt Stacy
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:)
