Well, Sally is dead

Sally Motornose, the car formerly known as the most trustworthy and dependable grrrrman-made car, is dead. DEAD! She died in a tragic car-battery drain accident. Oh boy.

Spanksgiving and Beyond

First of all, sorry that I haven't written anything in a while (Dad). I couldn't think of anything, and since I don't like to pretend to be existential and smart and like I think about everything all of the time, I left the page intentionally blank. Like, if you can't say something funny, don't say anything at all. Similar situation.

Well, we celebrated a beautiful Thanksgiving. Small and humble, but lovely none-the-less. I think my mom would have been proud. Even though Penny did all the hard-hitting news with the Turkey. I'm sorry, there was just no way I was ready to stick my hand in a turkey's butt and remove questionable business and then feel good about eating it. Wow, I may have just called myself out. Should I be a vegetarian, Journal? Not sure.


ThanksgivingBonanza2007 has been awesome. If you know me, as much as I love running around and doing lots of fun things, I also love lounging. Just love it. Well, Andrea's visit gave us the excuse to do this:

Loungefest has been fun. The thing is, with our panoramic view windows, we can feel like we are actually outside in the beautiful SD weather which makes us all feel better. Even though we're lounging inside. I'm a little disappointed that after this weekend, I will have to go back to sleeping in my actual room.

Even though I'm going through the opposite of SAD (seasonal affective disorder) I love San Diego. Let me backspace and explain for a minute. I'm having some sadness over the fact that it's supposed to be the holidays and chilly and bundly etc. and it is all sunny and warm and flip floppy. Thank goodness I'll be home soon. I NEED SOME SNOW.

Anyway, we went out to the point for a brief brief photo sesh yesterday. So beautiful. Seriously.

There have been some glorious movies on Television, Journal. High School Musical and High School Musical 2 were on last night. Also, The Secret Garden. Marathons of Reno 911. Elf. The Family Stone. Cheaper by the Dozen 2. It's been a glorious break from real life. I'm sad just thinking that we will have to go back soon. :(

things that are too beautiful to not share with the entire world

halloween is the best. i can wear my tacky accessories and call it costume. i can put on turquoise eye shadow and glitter eye liner and no one will think twice. it is the best.

behold:

and the best thing about this, is that we only spent $479 on these outfits at american apparel! awesome-town.


additionally, my ears are itching real bad this morning. i did a quick search and there are several reasons for itchy ears. the most horrifying is that bugs may be living in your ears. it could be a skin condition like eczema or psoriasis, which is unlikely to have popped up over night. also, i could potentially have too little ear wax in my ears which is stupid but a possibility considering i use q-tips like 7 times a day. if you have thoughts, i'd love to hear. i took some benadryl because someone once told me that it could be allergy related.

by the way, i hate having to go to work.

I have been busy as a bee

I have not had hardly a minute to myself! It's true.

Between going to, understanding (almost) and enjoying local flag football games:



Heavily scrutinizing the office

1. i loved thursday's episode
2. i love pam and jim
3. i love depressed, moaning dwight
4. jan looked dang good in the train scene
5. you could book a trip to schrute farms if you wanted to: Beets Beets Beets!
6. oscar and darrell are the breakouts of 07

Doing errands and other fun things while looking like a stylish boyscout:


And desperately wanting a dog, any dog at all (especially the one-eyed pug we saw in Lowe's yesterday):


I have just not had a minute to myself! Not a minute!


Also, living with Penny again is hilarious. This morning I said how I hated the smell of toast (I really do--especially wheat toast) and Penny told me to "take it up with the Lord today." We're getting ready to leave for church, so that was particularly hilarious.

if i had a blog

if i had a blog, i would post about all sorts of things that make me happy:

1. pineapple
2. lady grey tea
3. trips to world market
4. buying shoes
5. the office
6. halloween
7. point loma, cabrillo ntl monument
8. tidal pools, sea life
9. funny friends

if i had a blog, i would post about all sort of things that make me mad:

1. people who can't park right
2. stupid shelving
3. stupid girls with tiny stupid accessory dogs
4. inconsiderate people
5. twitching eyelids
6. more stuff that i can't think of because i'm mad that i accidentally drank milk while eating pineapple and it takes like chemistry class in a bad way in my mouth.
   

dad, i also have the jimmy legs

my mom has always complained (or at least commented) that my dad has RLS at night. (RLS support group, anyone?) it's funny because he rubs his feet together in the middle of the night and he tends to rub sheets thread bare right where his feet are. funny, right? well, i have the same condition and i just discovered that i rubbed a hole right in the foot spot of my sheets. how so very odd. i call it the jimmy legs and i'm not entirely sure where i got that name or if it's offensive in anyway, but there it is.

hey sportsfans

just sitting here in our fabulous living room watching the boats go by. that's right.

a couple college buddies (penny, ari) and i found an ab fab house in ocean beach with a beautiful panoramic view of the ocean. it's unreal. the sunset will take your breath away. in the words of scarlettjo, "i can't believe i live here." i'm so happy! it took a lot of woman and man power (jules, andrea, pt & friends) but we got all the crap moved from the ghetto to the resort-like house in which we now live.

a lovely sunday morning. a little gym, a little bagels, a little ocean watching in sunny socal, a little talking smack about people we don't like, a little ragging/giving props to celebrities...that's what it's going to be like in our corner of the world. feel free to stop in for a cup of tea.
