My lovely lady lumps

If you haven’t seen it yet, you MUST go to MSN videos and see the latest Alanis Morissette – she covers Fergie’s My Humps and it is totally hilarious. I have the song stuck in my head now. The video is hilariously spoofy.

What is sad that I was just thinking of Fergie too. I was complaining, to myself of course, what a sad video Lady Sovereign has (Love me or hate me - I think). Anyway, I was thinking that if I wanted to watch bubblegum pop then I would much rather watch Fergie’s videos that Lady Sovereign’s. Especially after she pronounced breasts with 3 syllables – honestly it was breastises. That is how is sounded, honestly. Even the commentators on Video on Trail noticed that.

I had the BESTEST supper today. It totally hit the spot. If you have been reading for awhile or know me, then you know how much lately I have been hating grocery days. I refuse to cook on these days since I just bought all the food, I certainly don’t want to cook it. But finding something for me that is healthy and low in sodium, etc. is really difficult. Usually I settle with something bad that I justify – like spinach dip and bread cause spinach is good for you. Or potato salad from the deli with an apple for dessert cause the apple balances it all out. I never said I justified well. Heehee. Anyway, today I was staring at the salads, trying to find one that wouldn’t expire by Saturday, when out of my peripheral vision I noticed the shredded lettuce and I immediately thought of tacos. And that is what I had – tacos with fresh tomatoes, shredded lettuce, soft tortillas, fat free sour cream, nacho shredded cheese and nummy ground beef. Despite the breaking of the no cooking rule, the meal just rocked. Who knew it was just what I wanted?

Note – disgusting topic coming up. I have to mention something just cause it was an interesting revelation that I never noticed before. I have mentioned before that we have new people at work now. This means new people using the restroom, which means new smells to get used to. Cause you do – you get used to smells after you have to smell them for so long. However it was the first time I ever noticed that someone’s bathroom smells (ie –#2) could actually smell like cigarettes. I mean really, does she eat them? Holy carp! It was awful. I totally understood why someone would bring in an air freshener. Of course, our office is ‘Scent-sitive’ so no smelling fresheners allowed. Thankfully, the people who I am 99% sure are the culprits are off sick (sure, uh-huh) and the bathrooms haven’t been too bad. I am not looking forward to that smell again.

Anyway, back to life – the last two days have been awesome at work. We have slowed down this week (knock on wood) and it has been nice to leisurely do our jobs and actually remember what it feels like to breathe every so often. I actually got off on time today (mind you, that was also because it was shopping day and I was getting a ride from a co-worker who is a big believer in getting off on time). Plus the beyotch has been away - sighhh - can you hear the office breath a sigh of relief? I am sure that is a contributing factor in the more relaxed atmosphere at work.

My back is finally feeling a bit better today. Somehow when I woke up Sunday, my back was just killing me. I went about my business and then silly me, put on some dancing music and did some impromptu dancing. Ow – lots of hip movements and sore back do not mix. Needless to say Monday it was still bad and this morning I was debating taking some pain relief, but it seems to have worked itself out (I haven’t danced a lot in the last couple of days). Hopefully, tomorrow it will be great and I can go back to listening to great music. Heehee.

Watched Happy Feet on the weekend. That movie was awesome! D didn’t realize it was an environmental movie, so wasn’t as pleased as I was. It is a very fun movie, just near the end was some blatant ‘environmental’ talk that didn’t really flow in the movie and then it ended well. There are a couple of really good extras – the tribute to Steve Irwin (he was an elephant seal in the movie, but was originally an albatross) and there is another little animated show in it that just makes you laugh out loud. I won’t describe it cause seeing it is 100 times better.

Another week of d&d went by, we are still in the war, though it sounds like one of the big wigs for the good side has gone down. We are off to hopefully save him now, though none of us have a resurrection spell, so who knows what we are going to do. We are playing again this week as we are sorta really involved in the storyline – it is like a really good book that you are almost at the end of and you know you need to put it down, but you just can’t, you just want to read just a little more… exactly the same thing here. Plus I am looking forward to some downtime where our characters can decide some very important issues like is the new guy actually evil, will the paladin sleep with the new guy, will the carpet survive another fight? Very important questions, I tell you.

Also went shopping this weekend for some work pants for D and myself. D’s were on a rockin’ great sale – regular 49.99, on for 9.99. I know! We grabbed 3 pairs just to be safe. I have a feeling they are discontinuing the style, which sucks cause the new pairs they have totally hold on to dust and debris. Ew! Mine were also a great deal but only because of my membership card. Still it was nice to get a smaller size. Heehee.

I am so looking forward to this weekend. Our office is closed both Friday and Monday, so it is a four day weekend for me. Yes! I am very happy, in case you didn’t guess.

Anyway, I should go. Lots to do and I am getting tired. Side note- my office is still really clean (that’s the good thing of parents coming over, they inspire you to clean – fear is a wonderful motivator – and I didn’t even just chuck everything in the closet – aren’t you proud of me?) heehee
