Things I learned from John Hughes movies

I'd like to devote this blog post to John Hughes. One of the greatest directors in my opinion. His movies, even though I was too young to watch most of them when I was young have taught me many things. Here is a little list of what Hughes taught me.

10. Having a friend that is a little weirder than you are makes you seem a little cooler (ref. Ducky, Pretty in Pink)

9. If you a tomboy and you fall for your best friend (Eric Stolz) you will have to do a lot of work to look as good as the most popular girl in school. Sometimes its better just to be friends.

8. The most popular people in school are always rich kids

7. Nice red sports cars always get you the ladies

6. If you ever stumble upon a parade you should join in the fun

5. Being drunk at Jake Ryans leads to bad things.

4. Driving a car backwards doesnt make the mileage go the other way

3. If your brother gets on your nerves have him turned into a turd

2. Ten year olds are perfectly capable of outsmarting and severely injuring robbers.

1. It is possible to apply lipstick using only your cleveage.

Thank you John Hughes for making me LOVE 80s movies

MIA

Sorry to my readers who have missed my witty repertoire of my boring life. As you know I have taken a job as a property manager and have been working crazy hours. Much longer hours than at my old job. But I'm thankful I found something that I enjoy doing and will ad to my resume. I've also had some extra money to shop. Still saving up for my new marc Jacobs dress but because i sit at a desk all day and am not going to the gym in the middle of the day for an hour...I've gained a few pounds and thus shouldnt buy a form fitting dress. I pulled out my bender ball hoping to make myself feel slimmer and then I ate some banana pudding. I'm a bad person.

Since I have a pay check rolling in now I've decided to make my first quilt. I chose an Amy Butler pattern that looked really easy but now I think I have too much going on. Here is what it should look like and I will post pictures when i am done with mine.




On another note. Cant wait to see The Time Travelers Wife. Just finished the book and LOVED IT. that is rare for me because I hate to read. Thoughts anyone???

Awkward family photos

I have a new favorite website called Awkward Family Photos . Wanted to share my 4 favorite of the day. Enjoy!!












This is my favorite!!!

EMPLOYED!!

So last week I went to interview with a friend's dad who runs a property management company. I went in hoping to get a job but wasn't too optimistic. Well I got it and started today. So far so good, I really like the people I'm working with and I stay busy all day which is nice for me.

I also decided that since I was starting a clean slate with my job today that I should also start a clean dating slate. I had these 2 guys that I have been holding in the balance for when I needed a date to an event. I called them my permanent dates and used them as such. No romantic involvement ever became of my relationships with them and although I had thought about maybe dating one of them he never showed interest. So, yesterday I let them both go. Its a little sad that I'm now totally alone and have no dating prospects but today is about clean slates and I am confident that I will find a new guy, this time I wont keep him just to be my arm candy at events. Anyone know any single guys in Savannah??

4am

4am, cant sleep. I think my sleep cycle is out of whack. I've been going to bed around 1 or 2 and waking up around 10 every morning. This morning I slept till after 1130!!! Maybe I got too much sleep last night and now cant sleep tonight.

I also have some problems with anxiety and its always bad for some reason the week before my period (this week). My legs tend to hurt which makes me anxious. My doctor said it has something to do with the iron in your body moving to your uterus. Sorry for any boys who are reading this it may be TMI.

Do any of you have problems like that? My Dr said I might have PMDD but of course didnt give me anything for it. So last night I laid in bed wide awake and my left arm started to hurt then I had heartburn and the anxiety of it all convinced me I was having a heart attack. I took a xanax and finally went to sleep. All to wake up way too late this morning.

Now its night 2 and my legs are cramping and I feel like my heart is racing (i dont think it actually is, i think its in my head). Why do I feel like I'm going crazy? Someone tell me I'm not alone.

For Richer for POORER

I was in a wedding over the weekend. My college roommate and sorority sister married her boyfriend of 5 years. He was in the frat that we hung out with all the time and there are about 10 of us who are best friends and always hang out together. We take trips every year and I'm sure we will be those people who spend a week at the beach every summer with our kids.

So during the vows the groom emphasized for POORER. I got to thinking about how Poor i feel lately. I've been saving money buy eating lots of sandwiches, rice, potatoes, and hot dogs. No more funky stinky cheeses. I've also been saving money by not going out. Its starting to wear on me so today I decided I want my old life back and its time to get serious about this job hunt. Job hunt 09 is now at a level orange.

I need a job so that when I need to buy some more zyrtec (current situation) I can easily afford it! I considered starting a facebook cause called "hey man can I have a dollar" and having all of my friends donate $1 to me. I have over 1100 friends and that would help out but I havent done it yet. So as you are reading this click on my ads over to the right so that I can earn a little extra cash.

People always blame their parents when things dont go right in their life. I blame my parents for me expecting to make lots of money. I feel that I deserve nice things and should have them so not being able to buy clothes or other things I want makes me sad. Hopefully one of these jobs will pan out and I'll have my old life back. I feel like Goldie Hawn in Overboard.

I'm FUNemployed

The LA times wrote an article last week about people being FUNemployed.

Today for example I took my niece to lunch and then we went to the pool at my mom's house and played till around 4pm when we went and picked blackberries with some friends. I then came home and made dinner for my roommates.

I need money, yes. I'm thinking of starting a cause on facebook and asking all of my friends for a dollar. I have over a 1000 friends and that money could really help. Its not that I'm not looking for a job, its that no one seems to be hiring in my very selective and small career field.

For the past 2 weeks I have been traveling. I was in Charleston for a week and DC last week. Granted, it was all possible job related. But I had a good time while I was there. I'm not in a huge hurry to find a new job. Yes, I would like to be able to pay all of my bills in a timely manner and not worry about ruining my credit.

However, my organic veggie garden is producing squash and green beans right now. My dog is so happy to have me home and I actually enjoy working out everyday. This unemployment thing isnt so bad. I'm working on my photography and hoping to book a few more weddings and engagement shoots before fall. I also need to volunteer more, I have the time to do it, might as well. Maybe I will go play bingo at an old folks home, I love old people.

How many of you are also FUNemployed?
