Something kinda oooooooh

I think I may have used that title before. Well, anywho, so I have another Joshua update. His mommy told me that his new favorite phrase is "sit down tushie." OMG that is the cutest thing I have ever heard! I can't wait to hear him say that. I think his parents should make some sort of YouTube video (hint hint). And post it on Dave's Facebook. haha See, Tracey, Facebook is fun! You will give into the power one of these days! And don't forget to take lots of pictures in Florida of little Joshers at the beach. And then when you get home please call me to babysit because that one day we stopped by a few weeks ago was not enough of a Joshua fix for me!

So clearly we are not leaving the office early today although I am planning on leaving at 4:30, which my boss okayed, so that is nice.

Then it errands and home and then Greek Town! YUM!

Also, just to rewind to Wednesday...Gossip Girl was pretty good for a holiday episode. And as always, Leighton Meester (Blare Waldorf) was awesome. From clothes to her giving her maid a phone "so they can text." That scene was hilarious. I won't give anything else away because my sister has yet to watch. And also, apparently, when the show returns on Jan. 2...it promises to be quite eventful. Oh Upper East Siders. How I will miss you over the short break of the show. I wonder how many episodes are left until there aren't anymore due to the writer's strike.

And...my boss got me a Kiefer Sutherland/24 calendar for my holiday present. It is awesome! I also read that he gets about 3,000 letters or something ridiculous like that, letters a day in jail. I can't even imagine what half of them say. And no, I am not, nor am I planning to, send KS a letter. Although, not gonna lie. The thought crossed my mind. haha

If you want to destroy my sweater...

Oh Jamie-Lynn Spears. Pregnant and 16. Does anyone remember that movie on Lifetime along time ago with Kiki Dunst and Park Overall? Good stuff. So okay, I get that JL knows she made a mistake...and I am wondering if they did use some form of something considering she said that it was a "shock." So I mean unless she really had no idea that unprotected sex could get you knocked up, then maybe we should give her a little bit of credit. And while everyone is all, "ooooh she is such a good role model for keeping her baby..." I'm not. She could have (and still could, not sure how far along she is) have gotten an abortion. There. I said it.

Which brings me to my next point...when are we going to start separating reproductive rights and religion? Yes, I know "Thou Shall Not Kill." But a woman who gets an abortion is NOT a murderer and religion should have nothing to do with it. It should be a woman's choice. Period. Not the government or her religious leader.

Okay, getting off my soap box. Thanks.

Thanks for the memories...

So the dentists involved in this are my dentists. Lovely. Clearly, I am not going back there ever again.

In other news, I am totally obsessed with the new Ashlee Simpson song, "Outta My Head." I didn't care for it at first, but now I really like it. Its pretty 80s sounding...and I feel like Cyndi Lauper could have rocked it hardcore. But AS does a good job. I think the song might be a dig at celebrity bloggers, such as Perez Hilton. He never really says anything nice about her.

My weekend was too long to recap, but Bloomington was fun. My cousin Amy had to go back to the hospital due to complications from her gall bladder, but is hopefully on the mend. Nick and Becca are super cute though, and we had fun coloring, watching movies, and sledding. Becca is at that age where she mimics everything. And sometimes she will bust out fill sentences, and its like, where did you learn these things! She is 18 months but chats up a storm! My favorite is when she tells her big brother to "go away."

I had yesterday off and made chocolate covered pretzels for my department. I plugged my IPod into this device speaker thingy and totally gave my neighbors a free concert of all the latest pop music including High School Musical Two and lots of B.Spears. Seriously, dancing around your apartment while licking a spatula of melted milk chocolate...is the best. Everyone should try it.

So tonight is the health team dinner. I think it is me, M, B, A, and K. We are going to Quartino's, which is Italian Tapas. So that should be fun! Thursday is the NOW holiday party, and then Friday think I am going to Greek Town with S & T. Different T than my future bro-in-law. I heart Greek food.

Wow, I am boring today!

So I totally support the Writer's Strike, but I miss my shows. New Gossip Girl tomorrow! YAY

YKYLM

Material Girls

I am posting another post 5 minutes after I just posted one because this:

Sadly, it seems as though she's been using her downtime to do something unspeakable to Oscar the Grouch, not even giving him the honor of being an entire coat, but simply making him into sleeves. As a huge fan of the seminal tune "I Love Trash," -- truly, it's neck and neck with "Rubber Ducky" as the best Sesame Street song ever, in my opinion, with honorable mention going to "C Is For Cookie," which I hear has been replaced by "Cookies Are A Sometimes Food," which, I sorry, is bullshit, because cookies are an ALWAYS food, they're just not a MASS QUANTITIES food. Why you gotta play me like this, Sesame Street? - I must protest this terrible injustice. I wonder if PETA has a Muppet Division?

Is why I love the FugGirls.

Seriously. Awesome. Oh and by the way, she is talking about Misha Barton's Citizen K magazine cover and general photo shoot.

ttfn

Spice up your life!

I so want to go see the Spice Girls. I think my sister D, and some of her main gays may try and get tickets! Whatevers you all know you want to go but just won't admit it!!

Anywho, so the holidays are rapidly approaching. Hanukkah ended last night, but my family isn't celebrating until Christmas haha for my sister and T's first annual Chrismakkah BBQ! It is going to be so much fun!

So the ETB event was a lot of fun. All the Hanukkah parties I went to over the weekend were fun as well. And the best part was on Saturday, pre going to Antioch for the party at my cousin's, my sister, T, and I stopped by T & D's to see....JOSHUA!! He is so freaking cute I can't even stand it! He is walking and talking and totally enamored by their Roomba (who has a name but I can't remember). He was pretty tired though since he had just got up from his nap...but he was still all smiles and was loving T. He kept handing him blocks and cars and things. So cute. Seriously. SO CUTE. I want to eat him up. Well not really but you know what I mean.

Friday is my company holiday party at Grand Lux Cafe in the afternoon. Then I am off to Bloomington for the weekend. Then off of work on Monday! I am going to try and make something to give as holiday gifts to my department. I am thinking choc (white and regular) covered pretzels. With some caramel as well--but only with the milk chocolate ones.

This writer's strike is killing me! I miss The Office and Ugly Betty. And whatever else should be new!! And really writers of UB...Wili froze Bradford's sperm?! Oh this is going to get goooood. And weird. As for reality tv, I am staying away from that mother/daughter beauty disaster show for obvious reasons that it looks AWFUL. The Hills though, is returning in January! Yay! As fake as that show is, I can't stop watching. Models is done tonight...but GG is back next week and then probably on hiatus. Oh and Bret Michaels is doing another Rock of Love. I hope they bring Rodeo back!

Uh, so yeah, well this post is boring but what can you do. I wish I had more exciting things to write about.

I forgot what number I was on for telling about myself so that will have to wait until tomorrow.

So here are the things I want list.

Movies I want to see:
Atonement (read the book, seriously soooo good)
Sweeney Todd
Juno

Things I really want for Hanukkah that I have no chance at getting:
John Krasinski
Christian Louboutin Sparkly Heels (sparkly heels like the ones Miley Cyrus (shut up) has on in the most recent issue of US Weekly--the one with ScarJo's maybe nose job on the front
Chanel ballet flats, boots, and a purse
Burberry rain coat

Alrighty well that's about it for now!

I am woman hear me roar...

I would just like to say that I think that J.Lo.Hewitt's bikini pictures are fabulous. She (in my opinion) is gorgeous and isn't getting sucked into that Hollywood thing of being rail thin and looking like a human lollipop. Curves rule!!! :)


Anyways...happy Hanukkah everyone! I am celebrating by going out to sushi with MS. My family is having our party on Saturday. And then J is having a little potluck at her house on Sunday! Fun Hanukkah festivities all around.

Also, if anyone is looking for something to do this Friday night. The Lesbian Rights Team is having an event at Early to Bed in Andersonville from 9pm-11pm. In case you aren't in the know, ETB is a women-friendly and women-owned adult toy shop. There will be wine, cheese, and a raffle!
