We decided to go to Blockbuster last night. Although we’re broke and can’t afford hardly anything at all, we remembered t hat we had a couple coupons for there and so it was the perfect answer for the question, “What is there to do?!”

While we were browsing around, I came across a Zack Efron cardboard cut-out. I handed Lonnie the camera and say, “I gotta get a picture with that thing!”     So, that’s exactly what I did…

Well, one of the employees saw the big FLASH and came running over, saying, “I want my picture taken too!!!” So, we obliged… That was a pretty hilarious moment…and afterwards, we continued our search for the movies we’d gone there looking for. Sadly, they didn’t have any copies of the ones we wanted in, so we went elsewhere…to a different Blockbuster. We ended up getting “Kung Fu Panda”, “Clone Wars”, and “Tropic Thunder”….basically nothing I’m interested in watching. While Lonnie watched his movie, I wrote a card to Tab, and another card to …uh…wow, I forget who. I write so many, it’s totally gone out of of my memory…plus I wrote a pretty lengthy letter to Sarah.     :DJust in case anyway cares, here’s a tiny bit of video which was taken in Blockbuster. For those of you who can only view YouTube videos, the link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT2tRFpATTA

That pretty much sums it up! Not too thrilling, but at least we FINALLY did something non-work related!

Lonnie and I had to rush out the door yesterday. We hardly had any time before we had to be in the SUV and on our way to our destination. Well, I jumped in the shower and agreed to wait to put my make-up on in the vehicle.

Everything went as planned…I was in the vehicle putting my make-up on while Lonnie drove to our destination. I suddenly realized that I’d forgotten to pack my eye shadow!      Not good. I gotta have eye shadow. Well, I had no choice but to make due with what I had…I just used my eye pencil and mascara to play up my eyes as much as I could without the aide of the eye shadow.

I finally got finished putting my make-up on, and I turned to Lonnie and said, how does that look? He looked at me, raised an eyebrow and said something like, “It’s obvious that you need eye shadow! You look much better with it. I guess this’ll just have to do.” I said something in return like, “This will just have to do? I look THAT crappy?!” He said, “You don’t look crappy, you just don’t look nearly as good as you normally would….not made up enough.”

I understand that his intent was not to hurt my feelings, but wow. After all of that had been said, I felt like the ugliest person on the planet. I said, “I’m going to take a picture of myself and look at it to see just how bad I really look.

Here is said picture:

I agree that I don’t look at decent as I normally would, but is it THAT bad? I mean, bad enough to say that it’s obvious that I need eye shadow and all that jive? I suppose I’m probably just being too sensitive. It just sucks that I spent the entire rest of the trip with my sunglasses on and feeling super ugly. I have low self esteem as it is, so this was something I didn’t need.

Moral of the story: Do NOT ask for someone’s opinion unless you are 100% willing to accept their answer without getting your feelings all bent out of shape.

• If I make a butt-load of mistakes while typing this, I have a valid reason. No, I’m not tanked up. I don’t drink. I put these new French tips on my nails last night…they’re longer than usual, so I’m typing at a fraction of the speed I’d normally type AND I’m making tons of mistakes. Oh well. At least my hands look pretty .

• Nobody will EVER be able to hear the song “Everybody’s Workin’ For The Weekend” by Loverboy again without seeing Chris Farley doing his Chip n’ Dales thing.     He single handedly ruined that one for Loverboy…although I’d much prefer to picture good ol’ Farley than the dudes from Loverboy.

• Lonnie’s pulling an all-nighter tonight, so I’m going to do my best to stay up, too. I feel too guilty sleeping while he’s working all night. He doesn’t expect me to stay up - its’ just how I am.

• I’m sucking down coffee like it’s going out of style. Hopefully I’ll help.

• I love my new desktop. I LOVED my last one, so I was sad to see it go, but now that I’m doing this whole Desktop Thursday thing, I have to change it weekly. I normally would, anyway….unless I have one I really adore like last week’s. That’s okay. It’ll make the rounds again sometime in the future.

• I’m using OneNote to compose this again.  :swoon:

• I keep applying clear coat to my French tips. I’m afraid all the clicking on my keyboard will wear the white down. So I apply like two coats of clear coat per day. Better safe than sorry…although I only paid $3.57 for them at Sally Beauty Supply AKA my new home away from home.

• I love you, Sarah! xoxox

• Just had to say that. She’s not been online too much lately and I miss her lots. For those of you who don’t already know, we have declared that we’re each other’s wives. Yes, that’s right. We’re cyber married. If it’s good enough for these prepubescent little twits on MySpace, it’s good enough for us.    :P

• Yes, Lonnie is aware of the marriage to Sarah. He just rolls his eyes at it.    :lol:    Let him laugh…whatever. GOSH!

• The “toys” they give you in Cracker Jacks anymore are freakin’ pathetic. I demand a REAL toy!!!

• We bought 60 lemons, a jar of Cayenne Pepper, and a jar of 100% pure Maple syrup last night. We’re going to start the Master Cleanse Diet the day after tomorrow. I cannot wait! I’m SO excited!!! It’s FINALLY happening!!! I’m going to keep a log on how I feel and everything. Just thinking about it is making me feel sooooooooo flippin’ excited!

• My daughter is already buggin’ me to decorate for Christmas. We decorate on the weekend after Thanksgiving….alaways have. I told her that, but she thinks we need to change tradition. I explained to her that if we change traditions, the house might spontaneously combust, so we’ve gotta stay on schedule. She looked at me and said, “Gimme a flippin’ break, Mom. I’m 10, not retarded!”      Where the heck does she get that mouth?!?!

• My tailbone’s bothering me. I have arthritis in it from about 5 years ago when I fell down the stairs and broke it. It acts up once in a while. I guess these are one of these times. I need to go ask Lonnie to kiss my ass. Hehe

• Holy balls of crap! Now Lonnie’s playing Flock of Seagulls - “I Ran”. If he keeps it up, I’m going to be the one running…down the street in my t-shirt whilst screaming, “SAVE ME!!!”

• I’m so stoked that Lonnie’s been using his My.Opera account lately. I hope he’ll actually stick with it. I am certainly not holding my breath.

• BTW - If you would like a Christmas/holiday card from me, let me know and I will get your addy from you and mail you one. I want to break a personal record this year of how many I sent. I normally send quite the fist full, but I REALLY want to spread the cheer this year!!! So, seriously…..if you would like to be added to the list, just say the word, I’ll give you my email address where you can send me your mailing address and I will send a card! I promise to keep your address secret. I’m not the type to go blabbin’ that type of info. I respect people’s privacy just as though it is my own. Scout’s honor!

• Oh my. Now it’s “Karma Chameleon” - Culture Club. I’m not ashamed (although I should be) to admit that I actually like this song! Hahahaa

• Holy crapola! Sir-Mix-A-Lot?!?!?!!?! “Buttermilk Biscuits”!!! Hells yeah! Hahhahaaha…I love this song!

• Okay, time to wrap this mo-fracky up. Thank you so much to all of you who read my blog so religiously. I can’t tell you how excited I get when I get on my computer in the morning, open my Outlook, and see that I’ve got new comments on here. I immediately get all giddy and then race over here to see what was said. The fact that anyone wants to read what I have to say boggles my mind…and the fact that you keep coming back is truly touching. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I love you guys!!!

My daughter and I went to Walmart the other day to do some Mother/Daughter Bonding. There’s almost no better way to bond with your daughter than to browse the Clearance rack at Walmart. Wow…it’s full of such interesting things to talk about. Most of it is absolutely hideous, but there really are some cute things if you are willing to stand there and dig deep enough.

Well, after about 45 minutes of Clearance rack diggage, we decided that we’d take the little bit of money we had and buy something for Lonnie with it instead of ourselves. Both of us love to give and we agreed that he’d earned a special treat.

We made our way over to the men’s clothing section. As a general rule, Lonnie hates to get clothes as a gift. He prefers more…uh…oh, I don’t know. He just likes more fun items like movies, computer stuff, magazines…etc. Clothing is generally not something he gets excited over. I seem to slowly be changing that fact, though. Yay!

So anyway, my daughter and I found ourselves looking through the boxer rack in the men’s section. They have so many cool choices. Well, then I saw them:

The Almighty Mario Boxers!!!!

 Are they not the most badass $5 purchase known to man?!
