Photoshop or not, It brings me pure beautiful joy.

Can it be?

While I was driving home tonight, I turned on the AC in my car and it smelled like summer/fall outside! It smelled like a hay field. I'm so excited for fall I could basically explode. It is my very favorite season. I like it more than all the other seasons combined. If fall were a guy, I would marry it. If I had the choice between being a millionaire or having fall year round, I would really rather just have it be fall all the time. I don't know why. I just love it.

Minty Goodness

Yes, Rebecca, I am shamefully stealing your blog idea. I started to write a huuuge comment on your toothpaste blog, and then decided that was annoying. So I'm making it a blog of my own. At least now everyone will be annoyed.

I heart Crest Clean Mint toothpaste with extra whitening. I carry a tube with me wherever I take my toothbrush, because I would rather die than use any other kind. Okay that would be ridiculous for me to say. But I would rather go without brushing than use any other toothpaste. And THAT would make everyone else want to die.

Its just a precious commodity for me. Its super duper minty and leaves your mouth feeling sooo so clean! I got a little miffed on our family vacation to the grand canyon because I suspected everyone was jealous of my toothpaste, and my fears were not unfounded. Everyone used up the very last of my precious tube.

Day Makers and Breakers.

So. Its about that time to list some of my recent day makers and day breakers.

Day Makers:

1. The repair man came and fixed my air conditioner! It was a blessed, blessed day. I no longer have to sleep with a fan on my windowsill blowing the still warm, but not burning, night air through to replace the air in Dante's Inferno a.k.a. my room.


2. Whilst at work, I met the man of my dreams, hitherto known as "dreamboat". No one believes me. That probably has something to do with the fact that I am very easily smitten by attractive guys who come in to take tests. But. Honestly. This one guy came in to take his midterm, and we talked. And I will never be the same. If he has a girlfriend or is engaged, my life won't be over, but it will be the most pungent day breaker of all time. I'll let you know how things go when he comes in to take his final. Because yes, he will still be the number 1 dreamboat at a that time too.

Day Breakers:

1. I stepped on a needle this morning right when I got out of the shower. It was sticking straight up out of my carpet. Luckily, the sharp end was buried in the floor, so only about one fourth of the dull end punctured the ball of my foot. But OUCH.

2. Also today: I boarded the bus, and as I was walking to my seat the bus driver accelerated REALLY fast. My little flat shoes were not made for that kind of stress, so I slid into a semi-split position in the aisle way. In a skirt. I got about 1/3 of the way down to the floor before I caught myself. With a smile and an audible "whoops!" I made my way back to the bench. Everyone pretended not to see, but I know they all did.

Splits are awkward.

3. Hellfather called back the day after he made me cry and complained about ME. He said he would rate my customer service as an "F". How excellent.

NEXT

Okay, I do not like MTV. That may have been a lie. I do not RESPECT it though. Ya, its good for mind numbing idle entertainment, and sometimes they have great shows... like... America's Best Dance Crew! But mostly the MTV time filler shows are just garbage.

I was home sick today, and was seriously bored out of my cabasa and Law and Order wasn't on ...

(any one else think Stabler is dreamy??) So I turned to MTV and let all my constructive thoughts slip away. I was watching NEXT, you know.. the show where one dater has a choice of 5 different dates, but only one at a time. SO if they don't like the first girl to walk off the NEXT bus, they say "NEXT!" in a super annoying tone and the rejected date has to walk back to the bus to tell the next girl its her turn.

Anyway... during this episode I watched, only one out of the 5 girls were typical MTV skinny. The rest were actually normal sized girls and I was impressed. They had some meat on their bones and were not a size 2. They weren't obese either. They were just normal, every day sized girls for once. Yay!

My inner celebration of normalcy was short lived though. The jerk man who was the main dater instantly nexted two of the girls after only looking at them. They were barely off the bus before he sent them back. And these girls were gorgeous! By the third girl, he made her change into a spandex body suit and do an obstacle course. She didn't finish fast enough, so he nexted her after one minute. The next girl came out, again normal sized, and she didn't even get to do the obstacle course before he nexted her. She changed into the body suit, and he looked at her from head to toe, and screamed "NEXT!" in her face.

Now, there are only 5 girls total, and this guy burned through the first four in the first 5 minutes of the show. So the last candidate showed up, and she was super duper skinny, but super duper annoying. It didn't even matter. He gladly went on the date with her. The guy kept trying to make small talk, and he was way lame. So, the girl tried to salvage the conversation and asked him what kind of girls he liked. Because so far, he didn't like any of the gorgeous girls on the bus.

He then said "I like small girls"

How small?

"Really small. Like 4'11'' and 90 pounds."

He then pointed out that the girl on the date with him didn't fit those perameters either, and he nexted her too. Yep. He nexted all 5 girls for not being "small" enough for him.

I seriously want to punch this guy's lights out. I'm sorry, but most women aren't 4'11'' and 90 pounds. It sounds like he wants to date a 10 year old instead. Which makes him a pedophile. I swear, does it creep anyone else out when bigger guys date teensy tiny girls? I mean, I get it. Everyone has different physical preferences, but when guys want to date girls they can carry like a baby with one arm it just gives me the quillies. Please pronounce that "kwill-ease".

Dream Boat.

That's all I'm gonna say.

A Major 32

I just talked to the biggest nastiest stinkiest A-hole I've ever encountered throughout my customer service career. We don't need to talk about what was said on his end, because I know a few people including a few of my sisters who would hunt him down and seriously murder him.


I mean, I'm pretty good at schmoozing angry callers over. There really hasn't been a call like this in a while, I've even had a few calls that started with someone yelling at me, and ended with them thinking I was their best friend in the whole wide world. I'm that good. But this guy.... oooooh this guy, he made me cry. Bawl in fact. I blubbered like a baby when we got off the phone. He just seriously personally attacked me and my ethics and the way I do my job, and anyone who knows me knows that I seriously try my best to be honest in everything I say and do. I had to hang up on him, after politely telling him that if he continued to speak to me disrespectfully I would end the call. I thanked him for calling and told him that I would do my best to help his daughter get her course graded on time. I calmly pushed the "end call" button as his insults echoed in the background. And then I just cried. For a good 5 minutes.


A small piece of me wishes he would get hit by a bus. But not die. And have a really mean nurse at the hospital who calls HIM stupid all day long. But that sensation has mostly passed.

Sidenote: his last name consists of the word Hell combined with a nickname for "Dad". How Fitting.

Best Movie Moments Ever

So, my family (minus dad) always talks about their favorite mushy movies scenes, and how we should burn them all together and make one huge mushy dvd full of the cute heart warming tear jerking chick flick scenes we all love. I recently saw "sydney white" for the first time, and besides LOVING IT, I found a new favorite mushy scene. And it inspired me to post a collection of my favorite chick flick moments ever. Booth girls, and girlfriends, (and steve?) enjoy!

My Newest favorite movie moment, even though its backward for some reason:



and this is one of my all time favorites: gilbert blithe is so attractive:



My Best Friend's Wedding:



And oh, one of THE BEST:



Blurry, but you get the idea.



Oh Heath Ledger... you lady killer:



Please ignore the language dubbing. Its weird:



Oh you know... serendipity-dipity-ity?....



Romeo + Juliet: Kind of a montage, and no words (lame) but its the only clip I could find NOT in spanish...



Pride and Prejudice... Yay!



I really wish James McAvoy would have rescued me from a couple dates... "becoming Jane" style...



Oh ya... and this one. P&P is the bomb.



And This list wouldnt be complete without Never Been Kissed... but i can't find a good freaking clip. I'll have to find one and update this.

That is enough for now. Who needs boyfriends.

"Any of you, who wanna be a can't hack it panty waist, who wears his mama's bra... raise your hand"

I Am Baking Like a Toasted Cheeser. Its too HOTTTT!!!

My room is about 90 degrees right now. Our AC is busted, and I'm about to bust somebody's face. I seriously cannot inhabit my room during daylight hours unless I am laying on my bed and completely still, with my fan pointed right at me. Its like I'm in a coma in Satan's Hell hospital.

I Adore My Occupation

Oh man. Can I just say, that I adore working at the Independent study office. I always have. BUT. Lately, I have been sitting at the front receiving area a ton. Its great, because I get to help people face to face instead of only over the phone. And when I say face to face I mean my face to an attractive man taking a test's face. In the last couple days I have met a lot of extremely good looking guys who have come in to take their Independent Study tests. I mean, there are always cute guys coming in and out, but for the last couple of days its been more than just "okay here's your test its 100 questions closed book closed note turn off your cell phone no calculator allowed use a pencil if you don't have one you can borrow one... and you can use scratch paper or you can just write on your test." That's normally the sort of blurb that I go over with the students, and the test taking experience is usually void of all other verbal pleasantry. Basically they want to take their test, get it graded, and get out of the office.

So, its always a pleasant surprise when a guy comes in to take a test, and makes it a point to talk to me beyond the necessary test taking process. Its also fun when they talk to me, instead of either of the other two cute girls who often sit at the front desk with me. I can't help it. I love all the girls I work with, but I do not hate being singled out by outgoing, funny, attractive men. In the last three work days there have been three guys that have repeatedly come in and talked to me, and it has made my day every day. I'll let you know if I marry any of them.
