Lu's Summer TV Guide...with benefits

I have actually been impressed with this summer's TV offerings. Anyone else?! I can actually say I have some show to look forward to Monday - Thursday. Now the weekends, that's another story. But I have been entertained with this summer's line up so far.

Monday
ABC's THE MOLE.... Yes, I know this shows old as dirt and yes I know NO ONE really watches it but me, but I gotta tell ya that there's something freaking mind-bending about watching a show and knowing you're being lied to by someone the whole time and trying to sniff the bastard out before the finale. So far, I am terrible at finding the Mole because there are only 5 people left and I have no freaking clue. Alas, I will watch on for further research. My guess: Craig the unassuming fat guy.

MTV's LEGALLY BLONDE: THE SEARCH FOR THE NEXT ELLE WOODS.... So first I thought this was going to be your typical bitch-fest filled with caddy ladies making total @$$es of themselves, but it was actually quite good (with the exception of the talentless Duff sister, not Hillary - the less famous one from Napoleon Dynamite - as the host). Tonight is the season finale so I'll be all about that tonight. They have let alot of talented people go and there's this one girl who is still in and whenever she sings, it sounds like someone's squeezing a puppy to death. So if she makes it on Broadway, I'm packing my bags and hopping the first plane to NYC because it's apparently easy to make it if you suck at something that's a solid 50% of your job performance!

Tuesday
If you haven't watched Wipeout, please - PLEASE - watch it. If only for the big balls montage. Yeah you heard me.

Wednesdays
My new favorite reality competition: So You Think You Can Dance. I know this is in its umteenth season, but I'm a little slow, ok? What I like about this show is while the fans can vote and have a say in who is in the bottom 3, it is the judges who decide their fate. Well, at least up until last week. Now we've put it in the hands of people who actually vote on these shows. I mean, we're all fans here, but come on... do you really pick up the phone and vote? My favorite picks: Twitch and Chelsie. If you've seen the show, you know what I'm talkin' about.

Thursdays
My other new favorite: America's Best Dance Crew. Again, if you can get over the host, this shows got potential. Sure, there are no Jabbawockeez on this one, but still entertaining enough to keep me quiet for an hour (40 minutes if I'm watching the DVR'd playback). Plus, the judges are Shane Sparks, L'il Mama and JC from NSYNC and they're always entertaining.

So there. If you've been whining about having nothing to watch all summer, I've just given you 4 shows that aren't doing too bad a job of keeping me happy. And if you can only pick one, I must insist you watch Wipeout. I'm cereal about it!

I'm a Disney Kinda Gal

If you haven't seen WALL-E yet, then let me ruin the ending by saying Mel Gibson's character gets drunk and calls WALL-E "Sweet Bits". I joke, I kid! Mel's not even in this pic. I'm pretty sure his Disney voice-over career peaked at Captain John Smith from Poke-My-Hontas. Now that I've let my entire point derail, let's bring this full circle and start allover again.

WALL-E is genius! Especially when you take the time to notice the little details they have in practically every scene. And there is something so endearing about the little guy. He's so cute - you wanna squeeze him! Which is kind of a big deal for Pixar to pull that off seeing as how he is not made from squeezy materials.

I've begun to notice that my time committed to Facebook each day is becoming...how do you say.....excessive. Anytime I creep past the 45 minute mark on that site I seriously start to reconsider how my time is spent. It seems like I am more social on the internet THAN IN MY LIFE! I keep in touch with old school friends, email my dad with my latest post-op status, and buy my entire summer wardrobe without so much as reaching for phone or my car keys. Kinda makes me wonder if I'd be 50 lbs lighter if there was no internet. Don't worry. I'm not going to do anything rash like delete my Facebook account or (gasp) cancel my Amazon Prime subscription (PS - If you buy stuff from Amazon alot, you should really consider this new fangled deal they call Prime - FREE 2 DAY SHIPPING on most of the things you were going to by anyway).

GIVE MY REGARDS TO BROADWAY!
Lastly, I've been throwing around the idea of resurrecting my Theatre career by auditioning for some shows that are being produced by the Towne Lake Arts Center. I actually played the role of the chick featured in the pic to my left - Princess Winnifred from Broadway's Once Upon A Mattress. And before you give me your wittiest oneliner in reference to that title, let me stop you by saying if I haven't already heard it, I probably thought it myself! I've been watching MTV's the Search for the Next Elle Woods (from Broadway's Legally Blonde, of course) and it's been making me miss the stage and performing. Then I decided to do a YouTube search of scenes from the musicals I've been in. I'd forgotten how much fun it was. So anyways, auditions are a couple of weeks away so I don't know if I'm ready for those yet, but they have several shows coming up so maybe one on down the road if not the next one. We'll see....

Oh yeah! I almost forgot. My new favorite jam: Untouched by The Veronicas. It's sick. I heard it on So You Think You Can Dance a couple of weeks ago and I've been hooked ever since. Check it out.

That's Some Acute Appendicitis You've Got There!

Greetings from the land of forfeited internal organs! As you may or may not have heard, I, Lindsey Kirk, parted ways with my appendix last Tuesday. In all honesty, he was being a total bitch and I really couldn't take it anymore!

What started with semi-intense pains on Monday lead to all-out "I'm-Going-To-Pull-My-Hair-Out-If-I-Don't-Get-Some-Relief" pains on Tuesday. Throw in a CT scan for confirmation, a little trip to Northside Hospital, and you've got yourself one great episode of Full House! And as a side note, Dilaudid is the greatest narcotic to happen to modern medicine since heroin morphine. I mean, seriously, it was just the best thing ever. When I first got to the hospital, they shot me up with morphine and I could hardly even tell a difference in the pain. Then they tried Dilaudid and all I remember is looking over to Stu and saying in a la-la voice, "I feel heavy".

For your edification, I decided to throw out this pic just to keep it real and let you know what exactly the appendix is and does. In researching, I found that there's no clear-cut answer in what the heck the appendix does, but it either helps us digest cellulose in plants, or is part of our immune system, producing white blood cells to fight infection. Either way, it's not necessary so beat it, Mr. Appendix! I was going to put up some graphic pictures of bloated, gross, appendices, but decided to spare you so thank your lucky stars for that!

I'm off to down a Lortab. Peace out!

I Now Pronounce You Mrs. & Mr. Asek

Can I get an Amen from the choir? I just finished up my 3 year wedding tour with my last stop, Mrasektownville this past weekend and boy are my arms tired?! That's right... I have constantly been in someone's wedding since December 2005. And just before that was my wedding September of '05. So not counting that brief reprieve from September to December that year, you could technically say I've been schmoozing the wedding circuit since 2004. I don't even want to think about the chump change that's gone into supporting my friends in their romantic endeavors. Let's just round down....

Nikki's wedding was bootylicious. We had a smashingly Spanish topless tapas rehearsal dinner where I managed to have 6+ Sangrias with dinner and just one afterwards. Of course, the one afterwards was what I like to call a "larger portion". It started out innocently enough...I was just joking around. But it's so good when it touches your lips.... I kept going. And then Mike (chief executive officer of the peanut gallery) just had to add the slightest hint of peer pressure. And the next thing you know, there's nothing but ice and I'm reaching for an abandoned 2nd pitcher that was probably consumed by people I've never even spoken to. Before you say "gross" and "eewww" and all those other descriptive mini-judgements, please realize that the beauty of drinking straight out of the pitcher is that you're the only one doing it and everyone else has simply poured themselves a regular portion rather than help themselves to the whole thing. So there is no exchanging of oral fluids - or any fluids other than Sangria and my belly juices. mmmmmmmmmm

After the rehearsal dinner, we went back to the hotel for more boozing because let's be honest here..... What's one more drink after you've had a pitcher and some change?! Jessica proceeded to fall asleep pass out first and she quickly became the victim of giggly chicks who have had too much too drink. I think we took 35 pictures total during her coma photo shoot. Here are the highlights...







We love you Pickles! It's all in good fun :)

After a slight setback with my tranny makeup was self-corrected, things went swimmingly. There were scattered showers throughout the pre-, during-, and post-show activities. But since there really wasn't a large outside influence as far as venue and location, it didn't really matter. The only time it came into play was towards the end of the evening when the getaway car arrived -- The Wramblin' Wreck from Freaking Tech. Yes, minions. Nikki's a traitor and decided to surprise her new Ball'n'Chain with a convertible ride through the streets of A-Town Down. And God was smiling as he released the heavens and allowed them to be peed on from above as they glided down Peachtree to the sounds of the drunken wedding crowd serenading them with the ever-appropriate, "WHATS THAT COMIN' DOWN THE TRACK?!!!" It was a beautiful sight.

I can't wait for her pro pics. I hope to gain access to them shortly so you all can see.

I would like to give a shoutout to my #1 fans - Mike & Alissa. Mainly because I want free Disney tickets at some point. You guys are beautiful. I hope to be your surrogate friend someday.

More pics from the wedding posted below. Enjoy! And I promise to make a consorted effort to post more than once a fiscal quarter from now on. Something about my new best friends down in Florida jumping for joy at their desks when they check my blog really gets me motivated. I'm sooooo popular. On the internet.

2 Legit to Quit

Hello, minions. I need to get my groove back and get this little blog that could up and running again. I don't know, I was thinking about maybe posting a crazy amount of posts like.....1 A WEEK! You heard it here first.

Toot Toot! Beep! Beep!
Oh! If you want something from me that's a little more boring and probably more widely read then please check out my featured article on ProducersWeb. It's a long drawn out way for my company to brand itself on one of our industry's leading websites. Notice the subtle mention of my company under my name. Anyhoo, it may very well drum up some more business for me at work so I'll say yes to the bigger paycheck.

DVR'd DIVAS
Can I get a "You go, Grill" for Cashmere Mafia? And before you breakout your Speak N Spells, I did get that right. Anyways, much like Chicago, it's the jazz. At first, I thought it would be a 2nd rate Sex and the City, but it's actually nothing like it and doesn't try to be. Except I really don't like one of the characters. She's - how do I say this - pointless. She doesn't bring anything to the show but sexual confusion and bad makeup. I wouldn't mind if she took a short walk off of a long pier (thanks for the joke, Dad! I knew I'd use it someday!). Plus, it stars Eowyn from Lord of the Rings - I think the one with the Ents in it and crap. Eowyn was the chick that was feelin' some Viggo Mortensen while he tried to save her village from the bad guys yadda yadda yadda. Anyways, its the new project of Sex and the City's mastermind Darren Star, so I guess thats why I like it so much. Check, please!

Lindsey Jr.
So now that I've managed to lose some weight, I've decided that I'd like to gain back the 35 and then some this year! That's right, stalkers! Me and the Hubbs are talking procreation. Mmmm. Nothing sounds ickier than the word "procreation" does it? It's awful redneck for a word with over 3 syllables. We think we're ready for that leg of the married tour so it's been confirmed we'll give it a go this year. Let's just hope those short bus jokes don't come back to bite me in the birth canal!

Janey Stainy Stain Pants

Ok I dont have too much to say, but I HAVE to post this video of my favorite commercial. It's the Talking Stain one from Tide to Go. I've never laughed so hard at a commercial...




I think the part that gets me is the gibberish/french the stain is speaking and also the part where he gets super loud at the end. SO good. Kudos to Tide.

Oh yeah - I almost forgot. AIRBORNE is the jam. I highly recommend it. This past Friday I left work early to go to the hospital and take care of my flu-ridden brother who had a temperature of 104! I was so scared I was going to catch it and of course the next day I started experiencing the standard scratchy throat you're-going-to-be-REAL-sick-when-you-wake-up feeling. So I got some Airborne and kept downing fluids like crazy and I was able to fight it off. I do have alittle bit of a soar throat but at least my brain wasn't baking at 100+ degrees!

So those are my plugs: Tide and Airborne. Seacrest out.

Ummmm, Anybody???

Ok so I don't post that much anymore. And I've pretty much acquired some facial wrinkles since I last wrote! Well I've been a little busy people! Sales is HARD. I have to make outbound dials, get inbound dials, get applications in the door....

It's not easy money!!! And the last thing I want to do when I get home is get back on the computer some more.

But, I feel it's my civic duty to tell you guys what is up with me.

I've dropped 32 lbs so far in my quest for weight loss....so that's good. I now officially weigh less than what I weighed when I got married. Which ain't sayin' much, if you know what I mean! (I mean I'm fat).

Me and Stu are tossing around the idea of making some babies. L'il Lindseys and Stus might be running around here before you know it. Oh boy. I'm hope my mother's standard curse of "I hope you have one just like you" doesn't rear it's ugly head because between you and me -- I was annoying as a kid! If my kids are annoying
I'm probably going to have to consider exchanging them for new ones or something. I dont' think I have my mother's divine patience. So I will keep you posted on that.

The new job is going well. I guess it's not new anymore, now that I've been doing it for 5 months now. I went ahead and hot my Life Insurance License and can now sell Life, Annuities and Long Term Care Insurance in the great big state of Gee-Gow (thats Georgia in redneck speak). I started a website, www.northgaltc.com, which is catered to people that are in the market for long term care insurance. Check it out. I'm still working out the kinks so we shall see.

I guess that's about it. If anyone even still checks this thing!

Thursday is the New Friday

Yeah, that's right! Two days in a row, people. I am seriously on a roll. I actually was able to leave work when it was still light outside so I feel like I have all the free time in the world.

Last night, Stu and I watched 1408 - starring the never-aging John Cusack. It's like he's the new Dick Clark. He looks exactly the same today as he did when he was holding a boom box over his head as it blared Peter Gabriel. What was that movie called again? Anyways, back to the movie. First of all, most of it is shot in one room. Sounds very Castaway, I know. But believe me, this ain't no Gilligan's Island. That movie freaked me out. And not in a scary-ghost kind of way, but in an evil-presence-that-you-can't-really-wrap-your-mind-around kind of way. I was tense the whole time (and Stu watched 90% of the movie with one eye peaking out from behind a sofa pillow, but you didn't hear that from me). We figured out that the main reason this movie is so creepy is that it lacks that "something freaky deaky is about to happen" music that builds momentum and clues you in to the parts where you're supposed to be scared. It's much more effective if you have no idea that it's coming. I like these types of movies much more than the slasher horror ones or the ones that are nothing but evil ghosts getting their spook on, etc. This is much more thought provoking and interesting than sitting back and watching some smart-ass teenager hide from a knife-weilding maniac who turns out to be the local high school janitor, or whatever. I like this one as a thriller because its one where while you're watching it, you're mad that you are putting yourself through it, but when it's done, you're glad you did.

Switching gears to Halloween topics. Can we discuss how women have two options when it comes to Halloween costumes: Ultra-slutty, or potato sacks. There really is no in between. Everything that is remotely cute is up your butt or down your neckline or comes in 2 tiny pieces that resemble dish cloths more than actual garments. Observe the example to the right. She basically needs two haircuts to sport that outfit, if you know what I mean. I think this is the cutest little get-up, but I have to wear my costume to work and something tells me this might be what I like to call a distraction. Now, to the left is one of the work-friendly ones. How boring is that? It's a striped potato sack with matching ugly hat. Not exactly something I'd feel cute or festive in. Why can't they make cute and flattering costumes that don't give off the "I really want to dress like this all year but am afraid people will call me a whore" vibe? Halloween does not = Festival of Hookers!

I'll leave you with this lovely website: Atlanta Ghost Hunters. This link will take you to some recordings taken from houses here in the Atlanta area. You can hear what appears to be voices from people beyond the grave (insert spooky ooooh's and ahhh's here). It's kind of chilling to hear these, but check it out anyways.

I'll Take Things That are Awesome for $100, Alex

Ti's I! Lady Lu. Sorry so long since my last update (is it just me, or do I start off pretty much every post like that now?). I work non-stop these days, for serious! It's around 50+ hours a week, no joke. Yes, please whip out your violins now. My life is such a sad little place. But seriously, when you go into work at 7:45 and finally leave the building at 7:45, the last thing you want to do is think up something witty and worth someone else's time and type it all up and make it look pretty. So its my new job that causes me to neglect you and that brings such sadness to my life. Did I say sadness? I meant MONEY BITCHES! HA!

No - the new job really does take a lot out of me, but while I am crying about it in a corner with my binky and Pampers Pull-Ups, I do find the time to point out the things that I currently find quite awesome. So here is the list.

#1 - Andy Samberg
Most of you know him as that other guy in the "D*ck in a Box" skit with Justin Timberlake. He pretty much is the new Will Ferrell on SNL. It seems like every sketch he is in is an instant classic. Here are some of my favorite Andy Samberg moments so far.....

Punched in the Face While Eating

Kevin Federline's Guide to Parenting

2007 National Douchebag Championships

Love him!

#2 PalmerCash T-Shirts
Next on my list of things filled with awesomeness, is my new favorite outfitter: PalmerCash. This website gem is loaded with t-shirts that have a great sense of humor. I'm wearing my current favorite in the featured pic. I just ordered the "Stay Golden" one and I picked up the "Strictly for My Ninjas" a couple of weeks ago and wore it to work today. Part of the fun in sporting these shirts is getting people's reactions to them. I went in to Quick Trip one morning wearing my ninja shirt, and the next time I went in (wearing something normal and non-funny) the attendant said, "No ninja shirt today?" I was going to say, "Yeah, tool, I wear the same shirt every stinkin' day", but instead I gave him the courtesy laugh and grabbed my Rooster Booster Tall Boy and was off. But I think it's funny how people notice your shirts like that. Anyways, these shirts are perfect for me because we get to be uber-caszh (thats short for uber-casual...you try spelling out that hard "zh" sound without it looking weird!) at work most of the time so basically, this is corporate Barbie gear for me! In shirt short, if you need to purchase a gift for me in the near future and you don't know what to get, go with a shirt from these guys.

#3 The Office
Finally on my list of things that kick hiney (haven't used that word in about a decade in a half so you were due). Can somebody please tell me when the art of the sitcom died? This is the only decent comedy show that is airing right now and I find that odd. It used to be sitcom after sitcom Monday through Thursday but now this show is all we've got. The good news is that they make up for the lack of comedy everywhere else with the writing. Dwight K. Schrute my be the greatest character ever created in televisionland. That and the fact that I love the Jim and Pam coupledom. If you don't know what I am talking about, march yourself right over to Blockbuster and begin at the beginning. You won't be disappointed. And if you are, well then go post it on your own blog you Debbie Downer!

Lu-sing Weight
I am kind of stagnate at this point. Holding strong at 25 lbs lost. I am kind of suprised that no one really mentions it or notices much, especially at work, because I can really tell a difference. Here is a pic of me from June of this year next to a pic of me from 1 week ago. I can see it in my face and stomach. The pic on the left looks like I'm preggers for pete's sake. They say the difference becomes evident when you lose 10% of your body weight, and I did that along time ago. But I am interested to find out at what point do people who see you day in and day out really start to notice. 30 lbs? More? I guess we'll see.

Hola Lotta Sumpin' Goin' On

First things first: This is one of the funniest things on youtube right now. Enjoy...



Second of all, Light the Night was a huge success. Our team ended up with over $24,000 in raised funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! We had a great time and it was neat to see how things played out. Somehow, I think this event would be more fun with some beer added in, but I guess that wouldn't be appropriate........would it? Anyways, now that we have attended one of these cancer fighting throw downs, we know how to bring it next year! The Atlanta Light the Night goal for this year was $1.32 million and we capped it off last night with $1.37 million so we did better than we planned on! Very exciting. Let me know if you want to join next years team and raise money with us. Although I will warn you that failure to actually raise money will result in multiple "Are you going to raise money?" emails from Yours Truly! So beware. :)

I finished up my last day of Life Insurance License School this morning so I should be taking the test to get my license to write insurance shortly. So if you need some life insurance or perhaps an annuity, I'm your gal. Wink wink, nugde, nudge.

Stu's birthday is today and he's the big 2-7. We are celebrating with some dinner and the standard Sunday installment of Dexter. If you aren't watching this show, you're retarded. It's really good. If you don't have Showtime, find someone who does and become their new BFF. It's worth it. Trust me.

On the weight loss front, I'm down 25 lbs, playas! I am loving it. No complaints at all from this medication and people have actually made appointments to see my doctor about getting on it themselves! Like I'm a weight loss guru or something!

All Hail, VH1

Ok ladies and gentlemen....the time has come for us to learn who Bret chooses in the end. And the winner is, Jess! My personal fave and the most non-hookerish of all the Rock of Love Ladies. I am so glad he went with the normal one! I actually can't believe it, but he did. Well, if you call someone who dyes her hair pink normal. But out of all those crazy hookers, she was the least crazy and slutty. So, kudos to Bret Michaels. Despite his terrible fashion sense and tendency to wear guy-liner, he does seem to have a relatively decent taste in women when choosing from a pool of completely hopeless hopefuls.

And just when you thought it was all over they give you - the Reunion Show!!!! Woo freaking hoo! They were showing previews during the commercial breaks and this one's going to be a doozy. We are talking Flavor of Love Style verbal battles and censor beeps galore. I can't wait to get down and dirty with these trashy ladiez. I am especially interested to hear what Heather thinks about her "Bret" tattoo now that he didn't pick her. What a hose-job. You'd think that getting a guy's name inked on your body permanently would win you the top spot! Reality TV is SO HARD, you guys.

But if you think your Sunday nights are going to be oh so empty without these characters, you can thank VH1 for pulling out all the stops and debuting their newest series next Sunday night: America's Most Smartest Model! YES I AM SERIOUS! It's America's Next Top Model meets Jeopardy. So these people have to be (as Tyra puts it) fierce on the runway AND not be a total dumb-ass. Now thats what I call entertainment. Stay tuned for more debauchery and exploitation! Oh - and my favorite new word coined by this show: Himbo! Now of course, that means a male-bimbo. Use it in a sentence today!

Jessica's Team Kritta fundraiser at The Three Bears Cafe in Marietta was a HUGE success this past Friday. Combined with the admission charge and the ipod raffle we had, we were able to raise over $1,000 in one night! Bling-blingin' it for cancer, baby! What was so great about this event was that it put us over the $20,000 mark. So much so that we are actually over $21,000 for our Light the Night Team! So we are on a roll. There are two weeks left, so I am going to see if I can squeeze any more change out of whomever I haven't hit up yet! Maybe we can get to $22,000.**please see facebook for the reason I am holding my beer up like a trophy in pic**

Why Don't You Marry It?
I must confess that I LOVE my new Dyson vaccuum. It was a splurge gift me and Stu ended up buying eachother for our 2 year anniversary (I know, how lame to get a vac as an anniversary gift) but if you're thinking its lame, you have not tried one yet. It sucks up carpet pieces that aren't sewn down into the carpet! I mean thats crazy! Everytime I use it I have an entire cat's worth of hair chilling in the bottom of the dust collector cup. Ick. I feel like we've been living in filth up until we got this thing. It's sick. I highly recommend one. Dyson, you can send my endorsement check to................

TV, coke, and other activities...

Wow...it's tv season and I freaking love it! Sooo many shows to talk about. Unfortunately, none are as trashy as Rock of Love. I don't know what I am going to do with myself after next weeks season finale. Will it be the stripper? Or the normal girl (if you consider pink hair normal). May I just say that if he picks the stripper, I hope he understands that he didn't need to go through a reality tv show just to take a stab at bangin' a stripper! I mean come on!

But on to more substantial programming, HEROES made its way back into my weekly routine last night. And might I say.........snoozefest! Where was all the crazy action and special ninja skills I have grown to love? All I saw last night was a spoon being turned to gold and Claire's standard leg break insta-heal action. Bo-ring. I need to see people's heads being sliced open, flying, invisible dudes, etc. I hope next weeks installment brings something more along those lines to the table.

Hooked on Coke
Experts say soda is like a bomb in the average American diet. In other words, its nothing but empty calories and can have 400+ calories per "serving" (XL fast food drinks are 32oz - thats more like a tub o' cola than a serving) So quit coking it up, people! Not only are sodas loaded with non-nutritional cals, but the sugars in them actually promote overeating! And yes I am still talking about the liquid kind....everyone knows the other coke actually keeps you from eating. How do you think I've lost all this weight? JOKES! Anyways, on top of all this, they say that drinking calories doesn't have that much effect on your appetite, so when you drink 400+ calories, you still have no problem eating your burger and fries along with it. YIKES! I think if Mcdonalds revamped things and gave Ronald McDonald cankles and man boobs, kids would think twice about getting the McCola to go along with their 4 piece chicken McTesticles McNuggets. For the full article on cnn.com, click here.

Something I would like to leave you guys with. I like to consider it the best prank phone call of all time. It has some language in it, but it's priceless!!!

"You dont' want me in your house...'cuz I'll tear that thing apart!!"

Thats Capital with an A, Baby!

Hey kids! We're back from the lovely District of Columbia. And might I say, what a great weekend getaway destination?! There was so much to do. We found ourselves saying, "..next time we come we need to.....", about a dozen times. I highly recommend it!

We arrived Thursday night and our flight was uneventful. Except to say that it was a ridunkulously low fee to upgrade to biznazz class so of course, we did! High 5! We boozed it up and kicked back for the hour and some change flight over and arrived safely.

Friday, we hit up the sites of DC - Library of Congress, the Capitol, Washington Monument, and also we peeped the Smithsonian for the high art scene. You know how we do! Great stuff in there - including the only American Museum owned Da Vinci painting. So that was pretty cool. We also got to see some Degas, Monet, Van Gogh, and all kinds of stuff. After our tour, we had dinner at this great steak place and chilled the rest of the evening at Casa del Decker (Andrew and Sara's place).

The next morning, we did some wine tastings at 2 vineyards in the Shenandoah Valley region - The Oasis, and Naked Mountain. $3 to taste 6 different wines! So we basically got a glass and a half for $3. Then we got a few bottles and shared, of course, but that is a heck of a cheap starter course if you ask me.

And you know we had to watch the Dawgs play at Sara's brothers place. And what a great game that was. I am still a little hoarse from all the yelling/screaming/cheering I did during those few hours. But, we pulled it out (of our *ss) in the end so that's all that matters, right?!

On Sunday, we walked across the bridge into Georgetown and had brunch and shopped. This place makes Athens look tiny! It was huge and had so many shops, bars, restaurants and stores.... It was like Athens cubed! I wish we could have spent more time there, but as I was saying all weekend, maybe next time!

My favorite souvenir is a word Decker taught us: ROFLCOPTER. Now, the origin of this word is some stupid online gaming website, but we took it to pretty much be anything we wanted. It pretty much became a great way to describe something funny, since ROFL is the online acronym "rolling on the floor laughing". Case in point.... this is a ROFLCOPTER:
This is a roflcopter not only because this crazy chick has her hair shaped like a freaking helicopter, but also because thats a hilarious updo!! Roflcopter makes for good jokes! Try it in a sentence today. Like, "What the roflcopter are you doing?!" or "Get that roflcopter sh*t outta here!"

Anyhoo, we upgraded - AGAIN - to biznazz class for the venture home and got back a little after 10:00pm. So all in all it was a great trip. If you guys ever need some new place to weekend it up, I am telling you - our nation's capitol capital is where it's at!

Lu-sing Weight
Still just down 23 lbs., but thats alright with me! I'm looking and feeling better everyday. I hope I can get another 10 down before I go and see the doctor again in October.

Say You, Say Me

Hellllooooo!!!!

Sorry I have been a huge disappointment lately in the blogging sense. Now that I am getting into the groove over on the sales team, I think I will be able to post more. Here's hoping anyways....

Oh let's see. Where do I start? I know!

Rock of Love Update!! How exciting! That skanky ho I love to hate is finally outta there (yes, I am talking about Kool-Aid weave, Lacey). It's about time. In the end, it was her weird ass dad that made Bret realize that she would never "work out" as he likes to put it. I think his words were, "You crazy, b*tch!" Just kidding. But I wish he did say that. For fun, try looking at the myspace pages of all these people. Why do they all like the new Nickelback song so much? And could their pages ooze whore-ishness (new word) any more?

Operation "Eat Less Food, Fatty" is going well. I have dropped 23 lbs so far. And its becoming a problem in my marriage because now I am buying clothes left and right because - surprise - I look better in outfits when there is more of a waist and less of a FUPA. So I have been scolded about that, but I can't help myself! I haven't gotten excited about new clothes in over a year! Can you blame me?

Tonight we are flying out to the most romantic city in the world for our 2nd anniversary....Washington DC. I know what you're thinking - what about Paris, Rome - oh no people. There's something about Democracy that I find so sexy and thrilling. I can't wait to steal a kiss in front of the White House. Maybe even get a little Lewinsky action - JOKES JOKES! But seriously, I know DC isn't exactly the number 1 honeymooners hotspot, but this trip is going to be so much fun. I can't wait. Except for the part where I have had that scratchy throat feeling all day and can tell I am going to be sick as a dog when I wake up tomorrow. But oh well, you win some you lose some!

See you guys next week.

Serially

Ok so I can't post everyday since I'm "soooo busy" with my big girl career - aka, I'm trying to bust my hump and prove myself so I don't have time to sit on the computer like I used to - but I will try to post as often as possible for you, my fans. Just kidding. But anyways....

Michael C. Hall is my new favorite crush. Stu and I started the Dexter series from Showtime in our Netflix queue and I LOVE it. Plus, there's something about this guy thats so sexy, but I can't put my finger on it. If you don't know, this show is based on a series of books written by Jeff Lindsay. Stu read the first one, Darkly Dreaming Dexter last summer or sometime around then, so he already knows what goes down, but I'm only 4 shows in and I'm hooked. The premise is this blood-spatter analyst who just also happens to be a serial killer. They get you to like him though because he only kills murderers and pedophiles who get away with their crimes. It's bizarre to be watching a show and realize that you're on the serial killer's side! If you haven't checked it out yet, I urge you to do so. It's like CSI meets American Psycho meets 6 Feet Under (I say that because Michael C Hall starred in that before Dexter). Plus, it has the guy who played Richard in Sex in the City. I have no clue what his actual name is. To me, he will always be Richard. That cheating bastard!

The poor dawgs were frustratingly terrible this past weekend. Getting beat by Spurrier always burns a little the next morning. And I love how everyone who doesn't like the Dawgs always manages to get a text or phone call in there. Notice I don't do that to you people everytime we win you a-holes!

Lastly, I need to run an idea by you guys. I was thinking I could get these cute shirts made and sell them as a fundraiser for the team I started in memory of my mom. Here is the design I came up with. What do you guys think? I think they'd be a hit. They are kinda funny. At least the younger peeps might like them. I was thinking maybe sell them for $15-$20? Thoughts, suggestions.....

I'm kind of at a stand still here. I'm at about 19 lbs but have really slowed down. But I m fitting into smaller dresses and pants, so that counts for something in my book.
