Netflix is awesome

As mentioned in my previous post, we have netflix. I have been watching tv on my computer for a few years and recently started streaming netflix on it as well. A quick list where you can watch netflix on your laptop is awesome.

On the couch while you watch another show on the real tv

In a hammock

In the kitchen while you cook/clean

In the bathroom (beats magazines)

While folding laundry

While working out

While on the phone with a friend (just say uh huh every few seconds)

LOST

Since the beginning of the show Lost I have boycotted becoming obsessed. I had never watched an episode because I am addicted to too many other tv shows. My roommate decided we should spend the summer watching Lost from the beginning. So, we have been netflixing the discs and we just finished the 2nd disc of the 2nd season. If you are familiar with the series then I will jog your memory and tell you that the two groups of survivors were just reunited and we now know how both groups have been living/surviving.

I got to thinking about if I were in their position. First of all I would probably have a panic attack on day 1. On day 2 in foraging I would probably pick the wrong plant and be poisoned. Dont fret there is a doctor on the island (how fortunate). Day 3 I would attempt to fish and probably step on a sea urchin. I really dont think I'd make it a week on a deserted island. I am clumsy and not very resourceful.

Where we are in the series they have recently started washing their clothes. My question is are they wearing the same underwear? I mean what would you do if you were stuck on an island in the same underwear for 41 days (thus far). Gross. They dont have shampoo and they are shacking up with one another...umm no! I cant stand stinkiness. I could get used to sleeping on the beach no problem but how come they havent encountered poisonous snakes in the jungle, I mean come on. Someone is going to get eaten by an anaconda for sleeping under the tree canopy.

Love the show, I'm now addicted.

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.
