Day at the salon

Before:

Boo! We look ugly!

After:

Two hot bitches!
(hehe)

Both of us got groomed today- hope you can tell!

How I spent my morning

I sat on the freeway today for 2 hours and went 7 miles. You would think for an accident that had apparently happened 8 hours prior to this they might warn you not to get on the highway. Nope, just let all us poor fools back up and up and up. Traffic sucks, but at least I wasn't the one in the wreck.

Stupid movies that make you cry

Yeah, this is mine. Not sure why, but each time I have seen it I have cried through like the whole thing- pretty ridiculous. I think it might be because the dad in the movie (John Goodman) reminds me of my own dad- I don't know.
I do know I'm not the only one that cries at stupid movies- so what's yours?

Best gift ever!

For my birthday Mom and Dad got me a navigation system for the car. I cannot tell you how this thing has changed my life! I was always so lost before that even with directions, I would often get frustrated not being able to find my way and just turn around and go home.
I use my new navigator almost everyday and I absolutely love that I can go anywhere I want- even at night without fearing that I will end up in some other state! I used it today to get me to two different places in downtown Nashville and the amount of stress this things has taken off of me is immeasurable! It was really one of the best gifts I have ever received and I highly recommend it to anyone who is direction-less! Thanks again Dad for the great idea on the gift! You're the best!

It's official!

Look at me! Yay!
(Just don't call me at that listed number- it is an advertising number that is linked to my cell phone!)

Savvy Style

If you don't like what you do- then do something else!
I started seriously working today on my business "Savvy Style" a stylist/personal shopping firm. I have been wanting to start my own business for about a year, but haven't had the courage to do it yet- until now that is. Sometimes being miserable at a job you don't like motivates you to do something you do like! There isn't anything like it here in Nashville, so hopefully I will have a little success. Wish me luck- maybe I'll be busy enough to be self employed very soon!

Dolly said it all

Tumble outta bed
And I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch
And try to come to life
Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the street
The traffic starts jumpin'
The folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Workin' 9 to 5,
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy
If you let it
9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fat promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me

They let you dream
Just to watch 'em shatter
You're just a step
On the boss-man's ladder
But you got dreams
He'll never take away
You're in the same boat
With a lotta your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
'N' the tide's gonna turn
And it's all gonna roll your way

Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you crazy
If you let it
9 to 5, yeah
They got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it, don't you
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Puttin' money in his wallet

9 to 5, whoa
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy
If you let it

9 to 5, yeah
They got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you dream about it, don't you
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it

A little sad

Work is getting me down again. I'm feeling a little unloved and useless. Any nice thoughts would be appreciated.

A look back

I found a CD of pictures that Jackie had made us of our wedding reception while I was cleaning the other day. I uploaded them onto my Iphoto and was able to look at them all again. I really enjoyed looking through all of them again and re-living the night. It really was the best party every and I will be forever thankful for all those who had a part in it. Here is one of my favorite pictures.

Yay! Blogger is back!

Blogger has been broken for a few days so I haven't been able to post! Boo! Well, now it's back- so take a minute to catch up on all that I meant to say in the past week:

It's a Twister!

Lots of tornados here in Nashville tonight. Don't worry though- I haven't blown away yet!

Feb 3- Happy Superbowl!

Sassy really enjoyed the game- she couldn't keep her eyes off the TV!

Feb 2- Happy Groundhog Day!

Punksatony Phil has joined the Army and is currently serving in Iraq so he will be unavailable for weather forecasting this year. Sorry for the inconvienience.

Stock Show

For those of you who have never been to the Stock Show in Denver- this is what a National Champion Yak looks like. I thought you would like to know.

Mom and Dad and I had a great time Saturday at the show. We saw lots of great livestock and a super rodeo. Thanks Mom and Dad for a fun time!

Pretty Pretty Princess

Sarah and I played Pretty Pretty Princess with Sadie tonight. For those of you who don't know the world of Barbie board games, you spin, and put on the necklace, bracelet or ring that the board dictates, and if you are really lucky, YOU GET THE CROWN! Whoever gets all their jewelry pieces first wins. It is the perfect game- all about accessorizing! I love it! There is the BLACK RING though, that is apparently bad and you lose if you have it- but I kept telling Sadie that black accessories are so IN so we should want it! Sarah got mad because I was confusing the poor child- so I played by the GAME rules for the rest of the game trying as hard as I could to ignore the FASHION rules of today. I really wanted to win, so I was really sad when Sadie got all her jewels before I did. I stared to pout, but Sarah told me that I had to be an example of "good sportsmanship" and not protest- so I had to pretend like LOSING wasn't a "big deal". -Whatever. I have a degree in fashion! I should have won! Next time, it's ON little Sadie! That crown is MINE!

Nothin' New

I don't really have anything new to report. I have been working a lot this weekend- it's really cold here- not much of interest to blog about. I haven't talked to Patrick in a few days, so no new news there really either. So I found something funny to post for your enjoyment. I did a little search on the internet to see if there was something- anything interesting to write about, and I found these funny billboards. I got a little chuckle out of them- I'm sure you will too. I also linked a site to the title so you can check out more if you would like. Hope everyone is having a good week

Snow in TN= we're all going to die!

That's what people here think anyway. It don't think I will ever stop thinking this is funny. I pulled some choice comments from the news website so you can see how freaked out people get about the snow here-

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The threat of wintry weather this week has Metro Schools preparing for any weather emergency that may occur.
Administrators said Wednesday that workers with the transportation department will be monitoring the weather all night.
Phillips said each school bus driver has been instructed to check out their bus.
They must go through a long safety check to make sure they have enough fuel. They will also have to check their tires to make sure they are good for the road.
The district is also stocking up on extra food at every school in case students are forced to stay in school longer or have to return because of bad weather.
"Basically canned items, tuna salad, crackers, milk and so on," said Jay Nelson, director of food services. "But we just want to be sure children have something nourishing while they're here."

I especially like the part about needing extra food for the kids- like they are all going to be trapped and starve to death!

Now I know what you guys are thinking- "What's wrong with being cautious? Snow can be dangerous." Yes, snow can be dangerous- 6" or 12" might be cause for concern, but that's not what we get here- we will get 1/10 of an inch at the most. It did snow a little tonight, but it didn't even stick and it isn't cold enough to freeze. A snowy day here is like a pretty nice day in Colorado actually. These Southerners just aren't used to it I guess-That, or they just scare easily!
It suits me alright though because I don't really like the snow anyway and all these people with their canned food and propane heaters give me something to laugh about!

Yup, just checked online and as of right now school is closed for tomorrow!

PS: If you want to check out the snow yourself, I linked the Nashville Skycam to the title. Just click on it- but don't be disappointed if it is a snow white out and you can't see anything
: )

Snow in Iraq?

What do you think about this Al Gore?
