Movie Review Monday

Oh. My. God. This is seriously the best action movie I have seen in a long, long time! Bruce Willis is the only man on the face of the earth that can fight and F-32 fighter jet and kick it's ass! I sat on the edge of my seat through the whole movie...chewed off all my finger nails...and even broke into a cold sweat at some scenes. Seriously! I kept yelling 'No Bruce Willis - don't do that! Don't go in there! Oh my god Bruce Willis, watch out!!!!' Nearly had a heart attack! and the Mac kid - seriously couldn't have picked a better kid to play a computer nerd than the Mac kid. I fully recommend this movie - it's full of action action action, and the Mac kid is really kind of funny (okay, a little annoying), and even though it's a little far fetched with a couple of super corny sayings - it's totally what you expect from the 4th Die Hard Movie.

Fun with Photo Booth!

Seriously some freaky shit! Lovin' the Photo Booth!

Holy Crap. I found this website that rates your blog and guess what? I'm pretty filthy! HA! This made my whole day!

8 Quirky Facts About Kissing

1. Two out of every three couples turn their heads to the right when they kiss. Not me and the man man - we kiss nose to nose!

2. A simple peck only uses two muscles; a passionate kiss uses all thirty-four muscles in your face! Get your work out girls!

3. No two lip impressions are the same. See, I told you I was unique!

4. Research shows that the kissing improves our skin, helps circulation, prevents tooth decay, and can relieve headaches. One more reason to be makin' out with my man man!

5. The average person spends 336 hours of their life kissing. Pucker up!

6. Kissing releases the same neurotransmitters in our brains as parachuting or bungee jumping! And less chance of going ker-splat on the pavement!

7. The average woman kisses 29 men before she gets married. (sluts!)

8. Men who kiss their partners before leaving for work average higher incomes than those who don't. So ladies, lay it on your man man-then borrow his credit card!

Do you talk to your computer, too?

So I have this ACER laptop, that is pretty hip, made a few bad ass upgrades, and primarily use it for work. When I start it up I have a little menu option that allows me to choose which operating system that I want to use...well, sometimes I'll hit the wrong key (ooops, I'm clumsy), but I'll catch myself screaming at it F3! F3! while I desperately try to hit the F3 key in time - so that I don't have to go back and reboot. I hate rebooting...it's a gross expense of my time - seriously. I sometimes worry, too, at work that my co-workers hear me cussing my computer. Typically, it's my own mistakes, but I'll whisper under my breath, 'SHIT' or 'son-of-a-bitch!' Of course, there are those times that I pound my fists on my desk and say 'DO WHAT I TELL YOU TO!'. And days that Illustrator loads so blessedly slow I just can't help but grind my teeth and say 'HURRY (the fuck) UP!' while trying to restrain my fury. Sometimes I threaten to sell her on ebay PIECE BY PIECE or throw her out the fucking window. I tell her how inferior she is to the MAC (which I know is really hurtful) but she needs to know that she better straighten up and act right or she'll be replaced!

At home, I have a MAC Mini - that I fully recommend to EVERYBODY - it's a powerhouse of a little machine. I like to stroke her ego. I tell her how inferior the PC is to her (Sorry little ACER), I tell her how bad ass she is at managing my documents, running my programs, and quick she is a downloading my music (legally, of couse, CURSE YOU RIAA!). I tell her how thankful I am that I have her and how wonderful her little remote control is! Does it help? I don't know, but it can't hurt!

Now, I do have to be real honest with about something. When I am working on my webdesigns, regardless of which computer, I tend to cuss so badly that I put most sailors to shame. Mostly through a clenched jaw, it's things like, 'Ooooohhhh, you're a dirty little fucker, aren't you?' or 'You JANKY-ASS PIECE OF SHIT! DO WHAT I TELL YOU TO!' or 'fuckin' shit' or 'fuck-an-a' or 'fuck you, you fucking computer' - then I usually have to get out of the office, go smoke a cigarette, get my blood pressure down, then get back to work.

Do you talk to your computer, too?

Addiction/Smiction

Don't say it like it's a bad thing. I already know what you're thinking, 'This chick is totally wacked out!' Well, not so much. Not all addictions are bad for you. Okay, I take that back.

I am totally addicted to Marlboro Milds (in the short pack), but come on, everybody's got to have some vice. Cigarettes just so happen to be mine. On the good note, I'm down from 2 packs a day (a couple years ago) to about a half a pack, so, not bad. I have it down to a science...1 (or 2) on the drive to work, 10:00am smoke break, 1 (or 2) on my lunch break, 3:00pm smoke break, one on the drive home, and then a few that night. Addiction is all about control. You see?

My latest and greatest new addiction is Texas Lottery Scratch Off Tickets. I'm not proud, but hey, at least it's not crack! I never go into expecting that I'm going to win a fortune, but it's the $2 or $5 or $10 winners that keep me going. Sometimes I'll buy $20 worth of same ticket, just to see what the odds are like. I can't stop! And I love it!

A few years ago, I got really into 'Idiot's Guides', they are simple, easy to read, well laid out, full of concentrated information, and fairly inexpensive. And you can find them on any subject. But only the Idiot's Guides. I don't like the books for Dummies - it hurts my ego. I am not a Dummie, there are just some things I don't know yet. My Idiot's Guide Libraray consists of the following:

Idiot's Guide to Starting Your Own Business

Idiot's Guide to Law for Small Business Owners

Idiot's Guide to Grant Writing

Idiot's Guide to Assertiveness

Idiot's Guide to Cultural Etiquette

Idiot's Guide to Budgeting

Idiot's Guide to Cigars (that one belongs to the man man)

Idiot's Guide to Meeting and Event Planning

Idiot's Guide to Throwing a Great Party

Idiot's Guide to The Perfect Wedding

Idiot's Guide to Creative Wedding
Idiot's Guide to Budgeting for your Wedding

Idiot's Guide to Being a Bride
Idiot's Guide to Being a Groom

And I know that the next time I hit up the Half-Price I'll probably pick up another one. I'm sure that you got the impression that I'm getting married, well, not yet, but I am a certified wedding and event planner (more to come on that), which leads me to my next addiction:

Bridal Magazines, Books, Planners, Guides, and other publications. I can admit it, I keep regular subscriptions to Martha Steward Weddings (is it possible to truly love someone and truly hate someone at the same time?), Brides (the norm), Elegant Bride (made by Brides, pretty well the same magazine), Grace Ormonde (super posh), San Antonio Weddings (local-they don't really change their content altogether too often), Modern Bride (just like Brides), The Knot (just like Brides), and some weird and random magazines that I pick up here and there. In addition, I have spent a small fortune on Amazon.com, at Half-Priced Books, and let's just say I'm on a first name basis with most of the staff at Barnes and Nobles. I can't get enough of the wedding business!

Fonts. I love new fonts. I am constantly downloading new fonts. Currently I am up to 6, 231. Fonts are fun! They convey thoughts and feelings and emotions that otherwise you just might not be able to get out there. Yeah, fonts. I can admit it.

I am an addict and I am not ashamed.

I'm girly, really, I am!

Okay, seriously, I'm the first to admit that I am not the girliest of girly girls, BUT I am on a mission to be more girly.

It all started with the wardrobe. I've always been a jeans a t-shirt kind of gal, but recently have added more skirts, flowers, and frilly shit. This is a huge step for me.

Next came the make up. I have in the past prided my self on the fact that I could just brush on some eye shadow and mascara and be done with it. Well...not anymore. Like I said, I'm on a mission, so I've added some foundation, eyeliner, blush, and (gasp) lip gloss! Okay, so I'm on my way.

Then came the jewelry. I can honestly tell you that I have not taken my watch off since I got it in April of 2005. That's not really a bad thing...I always know what time it is. But I've added some new earrings and a couple of gawdy-ass rings.

So I can do this, I can be girly. BUT, today I stumbled on this list and it really made me want to revert to my old ways.

BIG SIGH! Seriously!

Lovin' the Sam's Club

So the man and I recently joined the Sam's Club...and we're loving it! And let me tell you what, I look really good in my Sam's Card Photo! At first, it's a really scary and daunting place...with the huge warehouse feel, concrete floors, and towering shelves...but then you make it down a few aisles and realize that I can buy:

800 rolls of toilet paper

7,000 trash bags

an entire living room set (lamps included)

250 granola bars

a palette of dr. peppers

a 400 lb. chicken

a case of wine

and a good book

Then Sam's isn't such a scary place, but fun and exciting. In addition, we save $14 a year by buying the 800 pack of TP, $22 with the trash bags, have managed to furnish our whole house, will never run out of granola bars (at least this year), we can drink all the dr. pepper we want, I can cook chicken for every meal, and we'll have plenty of wine to go with that chicken, and finally, I got a great deal on a book!

Lovin' the Sam's Club! Can't wait to go back!
