Mirror Dance with Liz

So how lame is it that I'm a.) blogging about a TV show, and b.) blogging about it like 30 minutes after watching it (and having a Facebook status about it...nuuuthing). Anyway yeah yeah, bless my heart. Sooo...I was watching 30 Rock and being in love with it since this season is totally redeaming itself, and it made me want to blog about a theory I have. Anyway as many of you know, I feel like an Un-Fancy Liz Lemon (without a fancy t.v. job but with straight teeth and youth) with her twin love life. Looking back I have dated many boys, and I have no hard feelings or regrets- they were all great at the time. But each of them is a version of one of Liz's boyfriends (yes I know Liz is a fictional character...) O.k. so, I've had a Dennis Duffy (totally sleazy but easy to be with because they are so easily impressed/tricked...dang I'm mean), Wesley Snipes (settling soulmate-when every one of my friends has a bf and it is Valentine's Day and I have just watched "Sixteen Candles", I can always say "well at least there's always _________  ), Jon Hamm (PURE HOT= no personality), Floyd (once again when I've just watched "You've Got Mail" and am getting over the latest tool I've been dating, I always wish I had married this person...because it would have been easy), and Carol (twin personalies-totally fizzled out). Wow that invented being a run-on sentence.... Anyway, my point is, I'm happy with my life and my fun a$$ job (who-hoo Estee Lauder), and I am excited for all of the things I want to do in my life....BUT when the time is right  I think my soulmate will be a Jack Donaghy!!!!!! (an Un-Fancy Jack of course-just a regular Joe one) Liz and Jack are totally going to end up together!!! And in a few years (or in Heaven ;) maybe I can graduate from the weirdos and get a man!!!

Life...Yeah ;)

Ok so all the fans out there (all 4 of you) have been begging me to update my blog. All right here it is!!
So I am on vacation and it has been amazing- cheesecake for breakfast, 30 Rock marathons, not wearing make up, and lots of family time!!! I am in a reflective mood, so be prepared for a serious-ish post.  My dad passed away two years ago this March, and today was the first time I have been able to watch home videos of him. I was extremely hesistant-he meant the world to me and even talking about him gets me emotional. I guess I was afraid that seeing him would make me come undone, that all of the grieving and accepting I've done would be erased. But I so desperatley wanted to hear his voice again,so I went for it! For about an hour my sister and I bawled and laughed and watched, fixated on finding any trace of my dad. It was so nice to hear his voice, and for a few seconds it was nice to escape and go back to a time when he was with us.  I wont lie- my heart ached for a few hours after and it has been sort of a hard day. But watching was so worth it- I am getting to a point where instead of being sad I am appreciating my time with my dad. I am so lucky for the family and friends that have helped me through this. I am so glad for the million tiny surprises and joys in life to look forward to. Ok very, very cheesy, but true!!!!  Before this sounds anymore like an excerpt from Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul, or JD at the end of a Scrubs episode, Merry Christmas!!!! -L

New Songs!!

No you are not walking into a Forever 21 store- we got young person music!!!! -LHM

Poo!

Sooo so tired after work. Decided to make pancakes despite my self diagnosis that I am allergic to them. I have a "disease" where food gets stuck in my esophagus and tries to choke me.  I can't remember what it's called? Basically it's too boring and vague to study (according to my Dr.) so they just gave me an inhaler, a head pat, and a big a$$ bill. I am never going to go on WebMD again since I'm always trying to diagnose diseases I may have.Very expensive hobby that robs you of any dignity.... So anyway I made the pancakes (Matilda style) for myself and they were gross/practically suffocated me (my "disease") and I think I gained like 90 lbs. since I made myself eat 4 plus chased them down with a mini bag of cool ranch Doritos. Also, I look in my fridge and I think an infant diarrhea-d  in a bowl (pardon my french).   I posted pics of the fridge poo and pancakes!!! -L

My Coke Rewards

So one of the more alarming facts about me is that I collect My Coke Rewards points. Basically you look under the caps of Coke products and then enter them into your account (at a whopping 3 points a pop). You can get anything from 3,000 point inflatable Coca-Cola beach balls to 450 point Fanta sweatbands.With glorious prizes like these, I don't know why more people don't participate!?!! Anyway, the reason I started this like 4 years ago was to get the coveted Diet Coke 25th Anniversary sterling silver charm. Alas they discontinued it before I had the points :(  Now all they have is a dinky non-sterling silver Fanta charm bracelet. So I need advice; should I spend my points on the bracelet, or wait for better prizes????   -L

Crawling up the Walls

I have a wicked ace migraine that put me into a foul sour mood for most of the day. I took  migraine meds and now I'm shaking and crawling up the walls! I reorganized my room and put up a chandelier in my room ($50 says it's going to fall on my face while I'm sleeping by the end of the week...). I didn't eat because I'm waiting for my roommate to make dinner and I am STARVING!!! So hungry that (I'm not proud)  I ate a bag full of naked loose M&M's given to me by the birthday committee from church. I am sort of a germ- a -phobe so I kept having visions of the M&M's being packed by unwashed hands where individual M&M were probably licked by a rat before wiped on the carpet and put in my birthday bag. Not to be ungrateful but it went through my mind!!! Well almost time to eat....tootles. -L
