Pink + Yellow = Orange

Have you ever had one of those days when you all of a sudden realize that when you use a pink highlighter on yellow paper it makes orange? I had one of those days. Yeah, I don't feel well today and this is all I got. Sorry :(

But I would like to thank the 265 people who have checked out my site in the last 25 days, you rock!

Ahhh.....Comments!!!!!!

I would like to send a huge THANK YOU to Julio who was brave enough to post the first ( yes 1st) comment on my blog. Thanks for taking the first step Julio, now maybe others will follow. And yes Julio you would make the perfect plumber!

"The Plan"

This post is for the girls out there.....sorry guys! Here is what you need: ( I will explain below )

1. 4 girls
2. Lots of Money
3. Lots of Time

So here is the problem my friends and I have had many times in the past. Something in our houses or cars has decided to stop working and we can't fix it. We have to call someone to repair it and then feel like idiots when the workman is "trying" to explain the problem. I know I have been taken advantage of just because I am a woman and I don't know shit about repair work.
So here is the plan. Each of the girls goes to school to learn a trade:

1. Car Repair
2. Heating/Air Conditioning
3. Plumbing
4. Electrical

The 4 girls then "trade" their services amongst themselves and charge all the other people out there not smart enough to do the plan with their friends. The downside is you need time and money to stop working and go to school. Why didn't we think of this in high school when we could have probably trained in these fields for close to nothing? And lived at home so rent/mortgage wasn't an obstacle? And we could have probably taken out a student loan. Oh yeah, because we didn't have anything to worry about back then, and when shit broke we didn't have to pay for it ourselves, that's right, that's why. Damn it!

This is what Julio, Nicolle, Ali and I would love to do! So, if anyone wants to sponsor us in the endeavor we would be happy to return the favor with free work in any of the skills we learn.

My Fall TV Schedule (& The Fact That I Wont Have a Life Once It Starts)

It all started tonight with the premier of "Prison Break" on FOX. I get sucked into new shows at the beginning of every fall season. But the good news is, I like this show, or is that bad news? Too early in the season to know that. But here is a list of the shows I want to watch so far this season.....(the * indicate the shows I watched last season).....ready

Prison Break, The OC*, Reunion, Bones, Head Cases, Arrested Development*, Kitchen Confidential, Lost*, America's Next Top Model*, Numbers*, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition*, Desperate Housewives*, Grey's Anatomy*, Amazing Race*, Nip/Tuck*, Freddie, Commander in Chief, Hot Properties, Criminal Minds and Out of Practice.
And keep in mind those are in addition to Starved, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Filthy Rich Cattle Drive, Wildfire, Beautiful People, Rome and Miami Ink which I am already watching regularly now.

Then every year there are shows I don't think I want to watch and then someone tells me about them or I "accidentally" see them and then I get sucked into another show I don't have time to watch. Every year.

My original plan was to list all of these shows by which day of the week they come on, but I don't have time for that so you will have to look them up yourself. Yeah, I didn't realize there were that many until I typed them all out, I'm so screwed. I will tell you that this is my favorite link because it tells me all the start dates, lets call it my TV Bible.

So thank goodness I have TIVO and see you all around Christmas when I finally emerge from TV jail, oh I kid....I love it, love it, love it.

Hungover!!!

Thanks to Jessica (aka Julio) and Rob for throwing a super fun bash/bbq last night. I had a fantastic time and a few too many shots off the ice luge. Or was it the Sunshine Wheat in the keg? maybe both. I met some very cool people! And I'm sure when Ali wakes up and addresses her hangover there will be a fucking funny post on flipflops. Thanks again guys!! I assume you all feel like I do today. (and if you don't, you did it wrong)

Humans on Display at the London Zoo

I think this is an interesting idea, too bad they get to go home every evening.

"Caged and barely clothed, eight men and women monkeyed around for the crowds Friday in an exhibit labeled "Humans" at the London Zoo."Warning: Humans in their Natural Environment" read the sign at the entrance to the exhibit, where the captives could be seen on a rock ledge in a bear enclosure, clad in bathing suits and pinned-on fig leaves." (Comcast News) Fig Leaves? and Bathing Suits? wtf They couldn't find volunteers to be naked? now that would be a natural state.

Projection

Lets just take a minute out of our day and learn the meaning of "projection," shall we? This will be fun! (for me)
*Projection (n.) a defense mechanism by which your own traits and emotions are attributed to someone else
So as some of you already know, there is someone out there in the big bad world trying to rain on my parade (and our website) by using what she seems to think are hurtful and rude comments. I think its funny, because as an ex psych major I'm am extremely aware of what she is doing.....yes my friends..... projection. I know you saw that coming. She knows her life isn't in anyway like mine and feels the need to "project" her shitty feelings onto me. Anyway, to the one who thinks she can get me down by making rude and unnecessary remarks....nice fucking try! Sell your bullshit

Fake Porn Pictures

This website is hilarious.....enjoy! (make sure you click on each picture to see what it is)

Filthy Rich Cattle Drive **UPDATED**

This show is so fucking funny. (You can see it Sunday nights on E!) If you haven't seen it....its 10 overly spoiled and completely ignorant rich kids who have volunteered to drive cattle in Colorado to earn money to donate to charity. This is for charity people, suck it up! OK, the episode they had to check the cattle for pregnancy was the funniest thing I have seen on TV in years. And when Courtenay Semel called her daddy to tell him he should call the network and get her off the show because it was too hard, and they hadn't even left for the drive yet! Can you say "super spoiled?" What were they expecting? The Four Seasons? I highly recommend it for a fucking huge laugh!

The trail boss for the cattle drive is Joshua Smith ------->
(We met him at Butter's house after the Scavenger Hunt last weekend. He's really nice& polite)

*** Thanks to all of you who are searching the internet for the show (and mostly Joshua Smith) and then staying to check out the site. Most of the hits I am getting are searching for info on Joshua Smith...and I'm sorry I don't know very much about him, but check out The Fishbowl.com interview with him and Alex Quinn (he's hot too!!) ***

Male Birth Control Pill

Hell Yeah!! Does anyone else think this is a kick-ass idea? Researchers at the University of Kansas Medical Center are trying to develop a contraceptive pill for men to take either weekly or monthly. Three words....Bring.... it.... on!! And how lucky are they, their options are weekly or monthly? We have to remember daily, or use the patch and then deal with it ripping our skin off every week. First Viagra and now this....men will be able to do it longer with no consequences. Just one more reason men truly have it easier than women. I love this idea but I see a couple of potential issues: 1. Will the men actually take it? (if you're a guy I would love to know) and 2. Will the incidence of STD's increase? (Men not using condoms as much because there is no fear of pregnancy) What do you think?

Is This Cool or Scary?

I stole this entry from another blogger. But, I thought it was soooooo interesting. (thanks to dave hamilton @ blog 'em if ya got 'em)
Watch the video and check out the website. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think? cool or scary?

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia!

Anyone who knows me knows I watch way too much TV, yeah it's sick. (I heart TIVO) And I won't be around much when fall TV season starts......
SO, Has anyone else seen It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia? I love it! The guys that star in it are also the guys who write it, and I think its genius. You can read all about it on their website and then watch it on Thursday nights on FX.
I am posting on Saturday about a Thursday show because I just watched it this morning. It's on way too late. Well, way too late for me is after 9:00 pm, and it comes on at 11:00. What can I say? I get up early.

So I missed posting yesterday because I got my haircut/colored and didn't have time to get anything up. Can I just say my hair is awesome and my hairstylist is the coolest. (If you live in Denver and want a good one, e-mail me) Look how blond I am.....sweet. Anyway, sorry I didn't get anything up and this isn't the most exciting post, but tough cookies, I love love love my hair. Wow, I look tired. Damn the beer(s) last night!

Julio Rocks the Casbah!

Why you ask? Because she painted this frickin' cool ass painting for me. I admired the paintings in her place and she said "buy the canvas, the paint colors you want and I'll paint you something." So when we got back from Grand Lake I picked up my painting. It is so much more than I expected and it looks awesome in my house. Thanks Julio!! (ps Julio's real name is Jessica, so she rocks even more!) I noticed you posted on your blog Julio! Keep it up! (read Julio's Blog)

What I Did On My Summer Vacation....

(It sounds like I'm in elementary school with that statement, and I may have had enough to drink last weekend that my brain has reverted back to lets say about age 7) So the answer, duh.....drink beer. We are back from Grand Lake, and it was super fun!

<---This picture was taken 20 minutes after we pulled up to the cabin, we waste no time. Luckily we rent a cabin within walking distance of town, and everyone knows drinking and walking is better than drinking and driving. (Unless you're me, and then walking is a whole different ballgame and you have to spend the fun summer vacation in a walking boot because you have a broken foot....see Jess' Crappy Day in July & Foot Update ) Anyway, the weather was beautiful, shy of one rainy night. And don't you worry there will be a full post on FlipFlops, when we have time to sort through the roughly 150 pictures and 7 videos we have.....relax, we won't make you look at all of them.

Grand Lake Here We Come!!

I won't be posting for a few days, its that time of year again. The annual Grand Lake Extravaganza is happening this weekend. It's a "real" vacation, none of that.... "we have to go here or there" or "see him or her" crap. Its just 4 girls sitting by the lake for 4 fun filled, beer drinking, sun-tanning & super relaxing days. For last years pictures see Grand Lake 2004, see you all next week.
Oh, and please leave comments, It's sad to see you all reading and nobody wanting to say hello! :(

Sex & Poop

And I know all of you just thought to yourselves "ewww, who would put those words together?" I'm not talking about Sex and Poop as one topic, but as two completely separate ones. But here's the deal, I don't know what its like at your job....but Sex and Poop are the 2 things we talk about most at mine. Despite the fact that I look at peoples innards all day, thanks to barium enemas and barium swallows, we talk about our OWN bowel movements and lack of all day long. So when a co-worker actually summons you to the bathroom to look at the color of their latest, you know we may have gone too far. And when it's neon green, you wonder: a. why is it green? and b. why would they want anyone to know it was green? Anyhoo, I know we all talk about sex at work so no need to comment on that, for now.

I Heart Gale Harold

I have officially decided that I love Gale Harold. He makes me really happy, if you know what I mean. (Megan understands, we talk about him at work) If you don't happen to know who he is, he played Brian Kinney on Showtime's "Queer as Folk." The series is over now :( But he has been in a few movies I have never heard of, which I could care less about because I can see his naked ass in every episode of Queer as Folk. Yeah!! Naked male asses. I love him, I love him, I love him, and if you know me outside of this blog....you know I don't gush about famous people. But I cant help it.....I want him!

This is a little segment I like to call..."What the Fuck?" or WTF (or What the Flop?) You Get It!

I was driving home this afternoon in a rush to get back to my mom's to do laundry. Because do you think I remembered the bag of laundry I put next to the door last night? ....no I didn't, so I had to drive all the way home to get it. (btw my mom lives 17 miles from me) And why do I do laundry at my moms: 1. Its free and 2. She lets me watch TV and 3. Its so much better than the "watch your clothes so they don't get stolen" laundry room at my apartment. Anyway, I was sitting at the light and I look over at the van that had pulled up beside me. I notice the side of the passenger door says "3D home painting, call us we can paint almost anything in your home." I'm interested in the fact that is says 3D, so as I look at the side of the van I notice there is a.....naked, anime looking, huge ass boobs, should be painted on the hood of your 80's T-bird not the side of a work van, type girl painted on the side. WTF? Is this what they would paint in my house? Cause I'm thinking um....NO! What kind of painting company advertises with naked women on the side of the van? Even if some horny guy saw it, called them and hired them, don't you think that guys wife/girlfriend would be pissed if the naked lady van was parked in their driveway all day? And the market for single guys who need house painting has got to be pretty slim. I'm curious how the 3D painters make any money? Maybe that's why they were driving around at 1:45pm on a Monday.

So I was up this morning at the crack of dawn...

I always seem to get up way too early, even after a night of drinking. I was reading some of my favorite blogs and I love the idea of publishing useless crap for others to read, so here it is. I have officially given myself a place to vent, rant, bitch and generalize about everything in my life.
I work a job I sometimes like, with people I usually like and to put it mildly it was not the job I thought I would have at 30. But here I am, single and having the time of my life with my friends, drinking too much beer and occasionally traveling. (see flipflopsinsnow)
I hope I can keep up with this blog, enjoy!
