After checking out Mama Duck's WBW,
I decided to post these gems of me & my sister:
1) Disneyworld circa 1987, don't I have a nice poodle perm?
2) The two of us pretending we actually liked each other
And just for fun, enjoy the 80s Montage:
1) Camping & drinking games, ah the good ol' days
2) My junior yearbook photo
3) Me washing my first car: a 1981 Toyota Celica

where have you been?

This is kinda fun: create your own visited states map

Here's where I've been!

what's up with that?

Obviously I was a bit on the bizzz-izzzidy side this past week but here are some random thoughts that have been plaguing me; a.k.a. what's up with that?
1) Cheezy men wearing big gold wedding bands with channel set diamonds. I'm telling you, I see one almost every day in my building! People, this is not Long Island.
2) Ugg boots. I hate them, and they're MF expensive!
3) Enormous aviator glasses, do you really want to channel Tom Cruise circa Top Gun?
4) The return of the mullet and rattail? I kid you not, this past Sunday night I saw a "cool" guy sporting an honest-to-gosh-golly rattail, replete with bleached blond tip. If you are not familiar with the rattail, then clicky: dear god, are you for real?
5) worse still, the return of fur
6) the reappearance of bad 80s fashion; granted I love-love-love the 80s but the crap that is showing up on teenagers is scary. C'mon kids, legwarmers? Well I did hear that J-Lo was recreating scenes from Flashdance for one of her videos...
More later...
7) Short pants with ankle boots, BOO! Think Ashlee Simpson, yuck...

more about boys

Some of you may remember back in August I had a post about some of my dating foibles. Well here is the latest installment in the exciting drama that is my life. On Saturday my ex-boyfriend (a.k.a. Great Disappointment; Winter '04) called to wish me a happy birthday. Ok people, I have not spoken to this man since the day I dumped his ass in early April. Please note: this is a man who relies on his dad to remind him when it is time to change his oil yet he can somehow remember my birthday eight months after we broke up? Now that is just weird. Even weirder is the fact that one of my best friends ran into him at a crafts show that afternoon and yet another one of my best friends ran into him at a restaurant two nights later. What is with the sudden resurfacing of the GDW'04???
And the plot thickens. I found out that one of the guys I was dating in the early part of summer is going to be moving in with a friend of mine who LIVES ON MY STREET. *sigh* That guy was nice but he was confoundingly flaky. I actually liked that guy and I really wish he wasn't going to be living a block away.
And the the coup de grace: the guy who said "We will make a great boyfriend-girlfriend couple one day" traded his 2005 Nissan Titan for some crack. His number was on my caller id three times yesterday; apparently he does not understand that Do Not Contact Me Ever means Even If You Lose Your Truck To A Crack Rock.

I am truly surrounded by winners. Or is that wieners?

on the road again...

Crap.

According to my sister we are going to do the Hill Country Ride for AIDS again next year...if you're not familiar with the event then take a look: HCRA. Also, please check out my sister's explanation of what went down in 2004 (plus a great pic of Lou Diamond Phillips!): queen of napville's executive decision.
As much as I want to get off my lazy ass and do this thing; that lazy part of me is dreading all the hard work, flat tires, and sore buttcheeks that go into training for an event like this. The pay off is totally worth it though, I have never experienced anything quite so powerful.

Wish us luck, we will need it!
