Star Struck

Last night I had a dream that I met Brad Pitt. In my dream I did not ask him for a picture, he approached ME to take a picture with him. I asked if someone could take a picture with my camera as well to prove my presence with the king of stardom. The random passerby flipped several pics while Brad and I coyly posed for each one. . . . I retrieve my camera to review the photographic evidence and learn much to my dismay not ONE picture was taken! One thing to note... I get very star struck. If you have been in a commercial, I will get slack jawed in your presence. So to have a dream that I was playing it cool with one of the most famous people on the planet is difficult for even me to imagine. This has led me to develop my top list of celebs that I would like to hang out with in all my star dazed glory. . .

1) Bono- love, love, love U2. He is the epitome of a rock legend.

2) The Backstreet Boys- circa 2000

3) The boys from Entourage- especially when Drama is in a fit of road rage

4) Chelsea and Chuy - possibly as a guest at the round table

5) Micheal, Jim, and Dwight from The Office

6) Will Farrell

7) Courtney, Jen, and Lisa

8) Bridget and Kendra from the Girls Next Door- Classy, I know

Just when you've had enough . . .

Dear Mr Unicyclist,

Cool, we get it, you love yourself some cycling. I slightly understand you weaving in and out of rush hour traffic as you cut us off at stoplights, making us drive behind you at a mere 10 miles per hour on curvy, 2-laned roads in your neon spandex appearal on a bike. We get that you are beyond fit and are saving the environment at the same time. But the unicycle?!? As you wobbly cross my path in your circus transportation at 7am on University Ave what point are you really trying to make? Are you just that good that biking 45 min to and from work has become a bore? Are you trying to show the rest of us lazy, sloths how dependant we are on our automobiles? Please reconsider the following: the uni, the bike that has a full on chair built into it, and the parent/child tandem bike (it is creepy and makes for lazy children) If this matter does not become resolved within the next 24 hours I have no choice left, but to pogo stick to work.

Sincerely,

LO

There is no such thing as a free lunch

Truth by the Tens : Ten things I believe are true . . . (today)

1) It royally sucks to be sick on one of the last nice weekends of the summer.
2) I don't know how to change the color of my blogs background- green is not my favorite color.
3) Not everyone is born into the same situations and sometimes we need to practice a little sympathy for
   those who may not have been given the proper foundation and building blocks to ease through life like
   many of us. Just because someone may not be "succeeding" at this current point in their life doesn't   
   mean they are lazy.  And who are we to deny someone who is in need help, when we have been given  so
   much help throughout our lives.
4) My hubby is the best Hubs of all :)
5) If my calculations are correct I will be the proud owner of this http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item.aspx?fromGrid=1&sku=22149806&mcat=148210&cid=287465&search_params=s+5-p+29-c+287465-r+101323351-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t by November!
6) The best thing about work meetings are the free lunches involved, when you take aways free lunches due to budget cuts and force people to (A) drive 75 min for said meeting and (B) to pay 10 bucks for their own crappy boxed lunch you will have a room full of crabby, resentful people
7) Glee, Cougartown, the Office, and the Community are the mark of the beginning of the end for reality TV shows (except for Project Runway). Long live witty comedy and Jane Lynch!!!!
8) I thoroughly enjoy the Twilight Series, however, seriously questioned many of the final book's subject matters as being appropriate for tweens or "young adults".
Note: the Edward inspired dildo being sold on the web.
9) I fully support following your dreams, but find all those posters, mugs, and plaques with inspirational sayings a load of crap and completely unmotivational.
10) It is a much better idea to be retired at the beginning of our adulthood (twenties- thirties) when we are still young, healthy, and fresh enough to enjoy it and to work from forty on up- I would thoroughly enjoy the chance to be able to tour the US by RV, be a snowbird, and spike my drink at noon while waiting for the adult bus to pick me up to take me to my fun filled day of activities at the community center.

Project Runway- Youz Out!!!

I am a huge project runway fan. I am amazed at the creativity and talent that pours out of these people's hands. I love fashion and would love to have just an ounce of their designing abilities, but whenever I try to creatively design my own outfit (read take a pair of scissors and a handful of safety pins to my threads) I find myself looking, well, homemade. . . Oh, but I have tried, don't get me wrong, my old journals contain sketches that suspiciously resemble last month's Elle, Target ads, or Glamour- if I am lucky. Nothing quiet as innovative or fresh as the budding artists on my beloved lifetime reality fluff. Thus I am resigned to a life of purchasing clothes, often with a scoff "I could make this", and a flash-forward of me standing in my closet, with an iron in one hand and scissors in another, hair in a sticky, curly mess, with the thought "this stitch witchery is crap"
