Okay, so it seems more and more these days that posts made on blogs need to be very generic as to not offend anyone and it's pissing me off. I mean, why have your own personal blog if you're not allowed to post whatever you feel without the threat of possibly getting yourself or others in "trouble"? Twice last week I was either involved in or heard of blog posts causing huge problems for people, but what I am referring to here are my posts from last week. You know, the one's that just happened to dissapear...

It seems that someone at some company didn't particularly appreciate my comments about some comedian. The odd thing is I had nothing but good things to say about the comedian and his performance. My only regret is that my "comments" could have potentially gotten an employee in unnecessary "trouble" which to be honest I still don't quite understand. The whole situation was definitely blown way out of proportion and is totally lame, as are the people with the complaints, but hey, thanks for searching the net and giving my piddly little blog some hits and some hype. I appreciate it. I debated about even posting anything about this and decided that I would. Still not sure if it's the right thing to do but I guess I'll find out and so will you if I have to pull this off my blog at some point too. I would rather keep my self respect knowing that I didn't harm anyone with my cheesy little blog post, that I'm still shocked anyone is even reading, than succumb to "the man", and yes, "someone" you are now in the category of "the man" and not in a good way. So, note to self - filter things you say on your own personal blog...hmmmm sounds silly huh?

Cold, Cold, Cold, Friday, Cold

It is colder than a witches tit outside! It's in the 20's but with the pleasant breeze that's blowing it feels like it's 12! YAYYY

BUT...it's FRIDAY!!! and I am in a much better mood than yesterday. I have a lunch "meeting" today, which just means that I can expense lunch with a friend of mine that works at another company, so there might be a little liquid lunch going on. Martinis at lunch time never sounded so good. Plus, I'll need a little fuel to walk back in this miserable weather.

Hope everyone has a lovely Friday and a spectacular weekend.

I am, without a doubt, going to lose my shit at some point today. This week has been FROM HELL. I don't even know what to pin point or what to say has gone wrong. It's just everything. Work sucks, my boss is killing me, I have a co-worker that won't go home but continues to cough and spread her phlegm and germs all around, and just nothing is working out the right way. UUGHH! I'm so frustrated. The fact that tomorrow is Friday is not even lifting me up. I hate everyone this week.

One positive is that I've gone to the gym the past two days and I plan to go again tonight. It helps get some of the frustration out and puts me in a better mood when I get home at least. Yesterday at 5pm I just couldn't take it anymore. I packed my shit up, left work and hit the gym. I don't know if anyone was looking for me but I also don't really care.

Tonight I plan to go to the gym then go home and drink martinis until I pass out. Wish me luck!

Doesn't it seem like two days of my life have disappeared like some kind of weird science fiction movie? Well, they have...more on that another day when the lame blog police are not on the prowl...

SO I went to the gym last night. I did have to look up my lock combination 3 times before I got there...It was go to the gym or cancel my membershit, no that's not a misprint. I had cramps, it's cold outside, I was tired and all I wanted to do was go home and sit on my ass BUT, I went, AND I stuck with it. I was on the treadmill for an hour. The bad thing is I forgot my iPod, the good thing was that each treadmill has an individual television so I watched Wheel of Fortune and jeopardy, and yes, I am a nerd, whatever.

Work is nuts this week. I can't believe it's already Wednesday, two more days...Woo Hoo!

So, the temperature outside has finally caught up with the date. It is now officially cold. And no matter how long the weather stays warm and how much I think I'm ready for the cold, I never am! I just remembered why I hate it.

It's supposed to snow here this afternoon which is just a huge pain in the ass because I need to go to the grocery store. And not for the typical toilet paper and milk. I need the things that I will need tomorrow when it doesn't snow. It literally might flurry here and we have already been "tracking the storm" on the news. I'm sure grocery stores are already in a tizzy and I can only imagine how the roads will be later this afternoon...OY! Why does everyone freak out at the mere mention of the white stuff? Now, if you lived in Malibu I understand, and yes, they got a dusting of snow the other day - it may be the end of the world. When I was little we NEVER got out of school at the mention or threat of snow. Hell, we would be in our classrooms watching it fall and in rare occasions we would be let out early. The most we got was a 2 hour late start and it really had to come down in order for us to get off completely. Now if there is a chance of snow, schools close! I can't even believe it. They have made everyone around here a bunch of chickens and it is so frustrating. The kids today are just going to be little wimps.

Anyway, some of you are in spots that have and are actually experiencing real snow. I hope you're enjoying it if that's your thing and I hope it goes away soon if you hate it. I'm sure I'll have a great bitch session to post tomorrow after my trip to the store!

I hope everyone had a groovy weekend. The Hubby and I went to the beach for the first part of the weekend to hang with my parents and some friends. Going to the beach in the "winter" is always great for shopping! All of the surf shops were having great sales and we all walked away with things that we don't need, can't afford but were 50% off so why not, right? I did get a lovely new coat for only $45!! Here is a picture of it. Not the best pic because it's so much more attractive in person but you get the picture.

When we went into another one of the surf shops we walked around the store, tried things on and were pretty much alone until we realized that the store clerk was asleep, or should I say, passed out behind the counter. He slept through almost our whole visit. We could have backed the car up to the doors and unloaded the whole store and this dude would have never known. When we were ready to pay he jolted up some how and asked in his best stoner voice, "Dude...how long was I out man?" I bet his boss would have been really happy to see how his store was being managed, whatevs. I did manage to snap a few shots of the stoner.

Yesterday TSO and I hit the malls, Target, etc to do some returns and the other hellacious things you have to do after the holidays. I've discovered something that I was hoping to never know...My husband is not fun to shop with. He gets all aggravated and impatient (as do I) but he makes me feel uneasy and in a rush. But, I've always been a shop alone kind of girl anyway. I don't like shopping with anyone. I do enjoy grocery shopping with my hubby tho, that's the only type.

Last night I went to my friend Sarah's house. She had a "Golden Globes Party". It was really a bunch of girls eating junk food, drinking wine and talking about how all of the celebrities looked. We've come to the conclusion that divorce in Hollywood does a body good. All of the divorced peeps looked the best; Reese Witherspoon, Alec Baldwin, Brad Pitt, etc... The "fug's" of the evening in my opinion were Cameron Diaz - Barf-o-rama! She looked hideous. Pale skin, black hair, a pale colored dress and bright red lipstick - ewww what a nightmare! Sienna Miller - YUCK, and Brittney Spears...Oh wait, she wasn't there she's just a train wreck all the time!

Anyway, enough of my commentary. Hope you all have a nice weekend!

I had a dream, I think it was this morning, that my brother -in-law was going to announce to the family that his wife was pregnant and then I started thinking that I had been really tired lately and really hungry all the time and maybe I was pregnant too...YIKES! I think I was really tired and just wanted to sleep more and I knew I had to get up any minute. Weird, weird!

So all my shows are coming back on soon and I can't wait. I don't watch too many of them but the one's I love, well, I just love! I didn't start off watching it from the beginning but I caught up and now I really like Hero's. My FAVORITE show that I am truly in love with is LOST and I can't wait for that to come back in February. I love the Anthony Bourdain, No Reservations show on the Travel Channel, The Office, I like 30 Rock but I don't watch or TiVo it regularly, I like Top Chef on Bravo and I like the show Intervention on A&E. I also still really like Survivor and the Amazing Race, can't wait until they're back either but that will be a little while.

I did watch Courtney Cock's (I know, shut up) new show, Dirt! on FX the other night. It sucked. And I caught the premiere of Knights of Prosperity last week and that show rocked. I loved it. I actually laughed out loud once or twice and that's rare from prime time, network television. I will definitely watch that one again tonight after the ass hole is done speaking.

What does everyone watch? What am I missing that I should really, truly check out and what shows do I watch that you think are lame?

Birth Day

Well, it seems there are quite a few very important birthdays today. The first being a True American Original. That's right, the one, the only...thank you...thank you very much...Elvis Presley!

Another American Original that was also born on this very day was...some love him, some hate him, we all agree that he was very influencing and that today is his birthday, that's right, President Richard Nixon.

(love this picture! it's a classic)

And last, but by no mean least, my husband, another true American Original. Yesterday we had a handful, or maybe a few more, family and friends over to celebrate a day that brought us all one of our most favoritest people in the whole world. I'm so happy to be a part of his life and I'm going to use this day (although I pretty much spoiled him yesterday...and the day before) to let him know how much he's appreciated. I love you baby. Happy Birthday Mr. Funky!!!

P.S. to all the ladies, apparently leaving the boots on is very sexy...rraaarrrr!

Okay, the meanest thing you can do to someone is bring them a food gift after the holidays...A good friend of mine brought me a poppy seed cake that her step mom makes. It's as heavy as a brick and it's so freakin yummy! BUT, I had one piece, okay a piece and a half, and made the hubby take it to work. Let those people stay fat. Not me! he he...

So, I cut my hair off last weekend. It's above my shoulders. And I also darkened it up for the winter. Even though it has yet to be "winter" here. It's going to be in the 50's - 60's all week oh and we may get some rain. I'm OVER the rain. Why can't it just get cold and snow so we can't go to work? HA, I can't even believe I just said that. I pretty much hate the cold and winter months but I guess this goes to show I am an East Coast girl to the core. I don't know that I could ever move somewhere that didn't have some sort of change of seasons. Well, not until I'm 80 and living in Boca anyway...

For Christmas the hubby and I didn't exchange gifts. We bought a 42" flat screen, plasma, HD television for a really great price (with rebates it ended up being $800!!) - so...that was our gift to each other! Plus in every other aspect we are flat broke! What about you guys, anyone get anything great for Christmas, anyone GIVE a great gift?

I am SO glad the holidays are over. My disdain for Christmas has grown and the fact that it's over for another 11 months is a welcome feeling. Just thinking of next year gives me hives.

Our NYE was pretty lame. I'm not necessarily complaining because it was the first New Year's Eve spent with my new husband and that aspect was very nice but it was definitely a change from how we've spent it in the last 9 years. Hubby ended up having to work on Saturday and Monday so any plans to leave town were out. Actually, any plans to do anything remotely high maintenance was out. We were home and in bed by about 1:30am and I was stone cold sober. It's probably a good thing...

I am fat, fat, fat and I feel horrible about it. I am really just tired of eating. The holidays kicked my butt this year. Actually I think it may be the combination of being newly married and the holidays. I feel like all we've done is eat since our honeymoon in September. I could seriously stand to lose about 60 lb's and I'm going to try to! I know it's the typical "new year" thing. The whole, I'm gonna make a resolution to lose weight and go to the gym...whatever. I'm going to lose weight and exercise because I am hideous! I am just feeling really bad about myself right now and I have to do something, so that's the plan.

I hope everyone had a great holiday and NYE. I haven't had anything to say or any inclination to blog so I haven't. I haven't even felt like turning on the computer lately. I checked my yahoo email account the other day and had 180 junk mail and 140 regular emails. It was very intimidating! I hope to get back into it and catch up on all of you this week
