The Monkees!!!

Check out my friend Laura's blog for a wicked cool trib to The Monkees!!!

I loved watching this show! I thought it was hilarious!
And I liked their music too. :)

Lunch...

YAY! Some coworkers got take out from Sansui (our local sushi joint).

I got my favorite meal from there...
-Salad with ginger dressing
-Miso soup - you get WAY more when you get take out!
-Volcano Rolls - I could easily eat 2 or more orders of it, but only got 1 order today (4 rolls)

They didn't pack enough chopsticks dang it!

So long Harvey...

Great comedic actor Harvey Korman died at age 81.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/TV/05/29/korman.obit.ap/index.html

I loved watching the Carol Burnett show...and still do! I loved seeing Harvey & Tim Conway at each other trying to make the other one crack up during the live taping.
And who could forget him in Blazing Saddles and the Pink Panther movies.

Here's to you Harvey...

Breakfast this morning...

Yep, McDonalds. I hardly ever go to McD's. But ever since their Cinnamon Melts came out I've been wanting to try them. Not so much a healthy breakfast, but you have to break the rules every once in a while, especially on Fridays.

Sausage Biscuit from the dollar menu...a classic, always good, if not a little greasy.

Premium Roast Coffee...pretty good. Better than what we have at work at least.

Cinnamon Melts...other than the fact that the frosting dripped out of the container and onto my capris...holy hell they're good! (Tide pen to the rescue!)

The BEST Anniversary gift idea!!!

I wish I could afford to get this for our first anniversary but it's SUCH a great idea!

A 'Memory Lane' montage customized via questionnair and photos you send in. Check it out!!

Your Memory Lane

If you go to the examples it will zoom in on portions and tell a little story.

I'm totally taking notes for when I CAN do this. This is also great for graduations, birthdays, etc but I can really see how meaningful it would be for an anniversary.

You can put things in it like where you met, where he proposed, where you got married, where you vacationed, your favorite place(s) to eat, favorite TV shows & movies, special things that you like to do together, things that are just YOU.

I LOVE it!

For ours (I know I may be killing the surprise in like 10 years but...) it would show these things:

-a garden (we were married in one)

-our two cats

-possibly Purdue

-Harry Potter!

-Starbucks

-Qdoba

-our high school (we were friends in high school) and possibly work in marching band

-maybe Las Vegas

-something about music

-definitely wine!

-Sonoma, where we honeymooned, even mention a couple wineries we visited or stayed at

-the name of our neighborhood for our first house or Dolphins Lane (there are street signs in it)

-Indianapolis zoo...he took me there for our engagement weekend

-TV...Ghost Hunters, Friends, LOST, COPS! our group of friends always seem to watch COPS together and make our own commentary

-they can work in all kinds of milestones and memories.

OOOHHHHHHH I want one!!!!

Runs $295 (unframed & I think it's a 'special' price) and up. But so worth it I think!!!

Ellen Degeneres even got one for her 50th birthday! See it better here.

On that note...

Triumph the Comic Insult Dog classic!

The best Triumph the Comic Insult Dog clip of ALL TIME!!!

Literal LOL!

Unfortunate Headline Incidents...

But hilarious!!!

You're kidding!

Oh! I've seen him!!

That's a little personal isn't it?

Did you get all that?

The government at it's best...

Well...what were they looking for?

Yea, that's just mean.

Oh Angelina, you know suspenders went out with the 80's!

Wow, they did a good job on that camo!

What did they think was in there exactly?

They'll be looking for a long time.

(For those history impared folks...The Wright Brothers made their first successful test flights on December 17, 1903)

"This is an artist's conception of the Mount Pleasant High School football field Friday after an electrical transformer blew, knocking out the stadium lights."

Wow it's so real!

What's unfortunate about this one is that it seems the headline IS real.

Seriously? Wow.

Chemisty Nerd Alert!!!

I did always like chemistry.
I would have loved this in college. I hope professors are showing this in class.

A nice surprise...

Yesterday was a busy day at work...so busy I had to come back in the evening. Rob & I carpool so I went home at 5 and turned around and came back by myself.

When I came home he had made dinner (ok, so I put out the spaghetti, sauce, and beef and said we'll have this for dinner tonight) but still he made it ok!
Anyway, as I'm heating up the bowl he made for me, I get out the wine. He asks if I want him to draw me a bubble bath. I thought "who are you?". But I said "I don't know".

I proceed to eat my spaghetti (which was very good) and sip on my wine and decide, yes, I want a warm bath. He said that he thought I might like one because of being so busy and my back hurting lately. So he goes in there and starts it.

When I make my way into the bedroom/bathroom here he had lit a candle, turned on some light jazz music for me, set my wine glass on the edge of the tub, and put a little towel pillow in the tub ledge. After I got in he closed the bedroom door (so the cats wouldn't bother me) and left me to myself.

I was 'so-so' on the bath idea when he first mentioned it, but I'll admit...it was fabulous and just what I needed.
He checked on me once, bringing the wine with him to refill my glass.

It was lovely.

I won't say what happened after...my mom and other relatives read this and I'm SURE they don't want to know. ;)

It was a nice night. Let's hope he's in this type of mood in just over a week for our FIRST wedding anniversary!
That reminds me, I need to look up how to defrost a cake...

Dose of Humor...

Classic Saturday Night Live skit...you know...when it was good...
(Except when Peyton Manning was on...that was pretty funny!)

Oooh, I have an article!!!

Who knew?
I had no idea any articles were written about me, or even mentioned me.

You learn things when you Google yourself!

Cell Phone Pet-Peeve...

When someone's voicemail alert is set to anything longer than about 2 seconds.

I already had to listen to your damn phone ring (on full volume...what do you have a amplifier on that thing?) while you didn't answer, do I really need to hear a whole lullaby-like tune for your voicemail notification?

Apparently.

Oh...you might want to consider silencing your phone while you are at work anyway.

Oh wait...this is the same person that shared with me how she was in a movie theater and a client called in the middle of the movie and...she answered it! And had a conversation with the person during the movie! And I knooooow she didn't have it silenced. She barely knows how to work it anyway. Ohhhhh, she's just lucky I wasn't in that movie theater too.

Ok. Rant over.

Dose of Humor...

Harry Potter News...

On September 23rd of this year a special anniversary edition of Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone will be released to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the original release!

According to The Leaky Cauldron it will include new artwork and new material from Rowling, although it is unclear what type of 'material' that will be yet.

And like the special editions of DVDs that are release after the originals...I will probably fall into the trap and feed them more of my money.

But for Harry Potter...I'm okay with that.

Indy gets 2012 Super Bowl!!!

After much a do...Indianapolis lands a Super Bowl! Sweet!!!

The Indianapolis bid package included commitments for:

-An NFL Village in downtown Indianapolis. This is a greatly enhanced version of an element that was included in the city's 2011 Super Bowl bid. Georgia Street would serve as a main artery of the village, which would connect the new Indiana Convention Center, which will house the NFL Experience, and Conseco Fieldhouse. The village would also connect to Monument Circle via Meridian Street. Organizers envision the village as a magnet for hundreds of thousands of fans who could be exposed to the Super Bowl experience.

-A Super Bowl Saturday Night party. The 242-foot Soldiers and Sailors Monument would serve as the centerpiece and stage for an event that would attract more than 50,000 fans. Additional stages with big name entertainment and giant video screens would be located on adjoining streets. Downtown office buildings would be used as a backdrop for NFL branding. The concert would end with a major fireworks event.

-A Friday night party at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the NFL. Plans call for the Pagoda Plaza and "Yard of Bricks" to be transformed into a large "tented cocoon". The start/finish line would mimic the start of the Indianapolis 500 with race cars past and present on display with a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to mingle with motorsports legends.

-Construction of an enclosed multi-purpose athletic center. Organizers propose building the state-of-the-art facility on the campus of Arsenal Technical High School on the city's near east side. It would be used as practice site for the National Football Conference team, but importantly would serve as a legacy of the 2012 event and a potential catalyst for neighborhood revival. It is possible the facility could also land at IUPUI or Marian College.

I don't get anything, just recognition. But there is an award ceremony at the State House in June and all the winning photos will be on display for a little while.

I'm just proud of myself :)

I took some great pics while in Texas. I'll post some when I've got the time!

Great & Easy Party Idea!

More Reasons Why Chuck Norris is Better Than You...

-Chuck Norris always knows the EXACT location of Carmen SanDiego.

-When taking the SAT, write "Chuck Norris" for every answer. You will score over 8000.

-Chuck Norris invented black. In fact, he invented the entire spectrum of visible light. Except pink. Tom Cruise invented pink.

-Chuck Norris ordered a Big Mac at Burger King, and got one.

-Chuck Norris and Mr. T walked into a bar. The bar was instantly destroyed, as that level of awesome cannot be contained in one building.

-The show Survivor had the original premise of putting people on an island with Chuck Norris. There were no survivors, and nobody is brave enough to go to the island to retrieve the footage.

-It takes Chuck Norris 20 minutes to watch 60 Minutes.

-Chuck Norris can touch MC Hammer.

-Thousands of years ago Chuck Norris came across a bear. It was so terrified that it fled north into the arctic. It was also so terrified that all of its decendents now have white hair.

-Chuck Norris played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.

I'm a bad American...

YES, I'M A BAD AMERICAN
I Am the Liberal-Progressives Worst Nightmare. I am an
American. I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some Liberal governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican!
I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!
I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, it makes you a smart American.
I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to
anything.
I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, do it in English.
I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.
My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and whoever canceled Jerry Springer.
I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.
I've never owned a slave, or was a slave, I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you! So, shut up already.
I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country! This is AMERICA.If you were born here and don't like it you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you.
I want to know which church is it exactly where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution.
I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry rear if you're running from them..
I also think they have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what color you are.
And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my drivers license. I think it's good..... And I'm proud that 'God' is written on my money.
I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.
I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making 'donations' to their cause.
I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents.
I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think.
I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA!
If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.

Tron Money! Sweet...

For those of you that are sitting there saying "I don't get it"...

TRON (1982) - movie

Plot: Computer Classic, one of the first computer generated movies. A hacker is split into molecules and is transported into a computer. In this computer a mean program called Master Control behaves like a dictator. The hacker, who programmed a number of features of the environment he got into, teams up with a book keeping program and his girl-friend and together they try to replace Master Control with Tron. Tron is an honest safety system.

Next Week...

Saturday Rob & I head to Austin, TX! We won't be back until Thursday and then Friday we'll promptly make the drive up to Elkhart for the weekend.

I'm hoping this trip will recharge us...we've both kind of been 'out of sorts' lately. Maybe just getting away from everyone and everything here at home will help. Well...we'll be with his parents and some other family...but his parents are paying the way there and for the hotel, so I'm not complaining. Plus we don't spend as much time with them as we do my parents it seems.

While we're there we'll also have a day or two in San Antonio and we'll do all the sights...the Alamo...the Riverwalk...

Anyway, I'm trying to save up some posts for while I'm away. We can now schedule times for posts to show up, that's nice.

I would hate for my readers (the dwindling numbers that they are) to get bored!

Kinda how I feel...kinda...

I love Keane.



You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can

You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Since everybody's changing
And I don't know why.

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same.

You're gone from hereS
oon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
'cause everybody's changing
And I don't feel right.

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same.

Ooo...Everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same.

Food Fight...

How I didn't understand what I was seeing until the obvious, I don't know. I thought it was just a silly thing that some people put together (that took 3 months).




It's actually a food fight that represents wars around the world, with each food representing a different country.
The breakdown of what the different food represent can be found here.

It's interesting.

Watch for Hiroshima, the Cuban missile crisis, and 9/11.
