No posts for several days, you wonder? I've been one busy girl! Weekly recap, starting.............
now!!
Monday: Good folks, good fun..it's Snakes on a Plane! Was the movie cheesy? Yes! Did it disappoint? Heck no!
Tuesday: An order for nerd.notes gets specific. My fingers ache from creating, but it hurts to good!
Wednesday: Take the night off work for no reason...play hooky by shopping, eating and listening to good tunes at a nearby bar
Thursday: Learn a necklace sells at Jubilation!!!!!!!! Also, find out rumors about losing my job may actually be true. Laugh as much as I can, even though the thought of leaving here is breaking my heart.
Friday: Forget for just a little bit that I live 3,000 miles from normal. Shop and TCB in the rain. Listen to a mom tell her daughter why rain is good..and I agree.
PS. What is it about Under the Influence of Giants' "Mama's Room" that makes me want to lace up my roller skates, grab a cute guy, and couple skate in the reverse direction? Oh, if only someone would help start up my glo-stick...
Ever since my vacation this summer, I've had a hard time getting back into the swing of things. And so I've been laying low, letting things simmer..and let the things that are supposed to happen find me. And once again, they did.
Someone wants something I make. And they want a lot. And they want to pay me more for them than I already charge. And I'm going to do it!
Ah, the Universe is good!
See some of you tomorrow for SOAP night! I may be drinking beers beforehand...just a warning I may call you to join me... :)

Months of internet buzz building to a near-deafening roar..we're T-minus 9 days and counting until Snakes On A Plane (See? SOAP! Get it?)
Samuel L. Jackson has already left me a voicemail reminding me of the movie...and thanks to the movie's website, my MySpace page is all decked out for SOAP!
Are you as excited as I am for this sure to be kickass flick?
Are you ready to join me for the screening??
If you answer the above questions with a SLJ-like "hell ya!" then meet me at the movies!
I'm thinking Monday night..where? Not sure yet. I will let you know!!
It's can't be the Summer of Fun without the Snakes!! As the movie's tagline proclaims: "On August 18th Summer Really Begins."
I am writing to you today to plea for the 150 minutes that you stole from me this afternoon. Oh, and if you could give Nick back the $15 dollars you took from us, that would be nice, too.
I guess really the fault must be mine. I mean, I guess I should have know the Captain Jack jokes would get old, but man that Johnny Depp was so charming the first go around. And really, the crazy love triangle? Could it have been any more predictable? And maybe previews with the scary Davy Jones should have been a warning (not to mention all I could think about was the Monkee). Faces with barnacles? Sheesh. So boring!!
So, Mr. Bruckheimer, heed this warning: No more crap, my friend! And if you need to remember how to make a good popcorn flick, pop in your copy of Top Gun. That shit is da bomb!!
I spent the morning catching up on my reality TV...the vacation must be over! (But really, with Project Runway back, it's like a vacation every Wednesday!) That's ok - I came back with a bunch of new loves! Wanna read 'em? Here you go!
My new loves: * Baby Rylee!! * Colaweisen * Frozen Custard * Summer Solstice Cerveza Crema * Raspberry Wheat Ale * Terminal Gravity Extra Special Golden * Rice crackers * My new cowboy boots!!! * The cute lady who sold me my cowboy boots * "Drinking With Daren" * The sweet Irish pappa who sat next to me on the flight back to lower-cased home and bashed President Bush with no apologies
Oh, and this is called burying the lead...it's a blog exclusive for those of you who actually read everything I write. I got a promotion at work!!!!!!! I'm now officially the weekend producer here at the soon-to-be former frog!!! My new duties, and new income bracket, begin next month.
