have you had your latin kiss today?

"you don't think about it, you don't do without it, because you're beautiful"--suede

hey hey,
so last night i met shawna, colleen, vincent and my new "niece" lucinda (shawna's cuuuute new puppy! sooo adorable!) at shawna's and then we went to baby a's for happy hour...umm, can i just say that not only is tuesday all day happy hour, but that the next 3 hours were some of the best 3 hours i've had in a long time. i don't think i've laughed that much STRAIGHT for that long. we're making it a weekly occurrence, from silly baylor stories to baylor gossip to high school stories to embarrassing stories to coining the new term "the boo factor" (similar to the "ick factor", when i have a full definition for the boo factor i'll let you know)
"y'all are funny"
--"no! YOU'RE funny"

so i drove to my mom's to tell her bye since she went on her much needed vacation to florida today and talk to my dad real quick. i just realized how funny mom is sometimes, while watching the golden globes the other night, she claims that EVERY actor is her favorite, therefore whenever a presenter came out, she'd say each time "OH! i like HIM!" "oh, leonardo!" i'm like, "damn mom, you like everyone"...another thing about my mom, her favorite actors tend to be in whatever latest movie she's seen, so as of this week it was Rumor Has It and she's really in love with Kevin Costner and Shirley Maclaine. ok whatever.

also, i got my furniture bill as i do every month, which i was sure was no interest until april '06 causing a tiny bit of finanical stress, since i needed to start paying it off like in the next month so i wouldn't end up paying like $5000 for $1000 furniture...when i actually start reading the bill instead of just throwing it aside, i realize it's april '07! well hell, that gives me another 15 months to not worry, so thank you rooms-to-go.

i got home, very tired, was on the computer, here comes batman on my phone, so i talked to kitch a little bit and then i wanted to go to sleep, instead i fast forwarded through my soap and watched the rw/rr: gauntlet....sooo good. i hate beth. whatever.

this morning, my mom called me to say "bye" and also that i should start looking for a car and not to worry my parents would help me, oh..NOW you're going to help me. they were going to help me before, but probably not as much until my new 19 year old friend showed up from a family of 7 siblings with her mercedes, my mom said she thought to herself..."my daughter is an ONLY child and she has THIS car??!" so needless to say, in a few months, i would love to be toting around in a used jetta, that would be my dream...i mean, my birthday IS coming up...does anyone else feel like even though we're still 23, your parents still treat you like you're in high school, paying you stuff...don't pretend and don't lie, i know there's some of you whose parents still pay for your trips, your gas, or something equally as $$$$. for me, it's my cell phone bill, and i will leave it like that until i can. i have no shame. i have 5000 bills, if i can have 4,999, then so be it. i can not complain. i live paycheck to paycheck anyways, i think of the money i "save" on a cell phone as my happy hour fund...yeah, that's what it'll be.

i just had an ergonomics assessment, for those of you who don't know what this is, (b/c i didn't) it's when they watch how you sit at your desk (for me, this is indian style in my chair, with no shoes) and decide if you need adjustments to your chair, keyboard, monitor, etc to actually work better and not strain yourself. 5 mins later, i have a ream of paper boosting up my monitor, and a request for a footrest. i actually think i NEED a footrest, so that's awesome.

ok i think i'm done with the little randomness of the day

peace out.
