Newest Obsessions

It's been a kind of weird week. My glucometer dissappeared into thin air (seriously, it did) and I had to get a new one in a hurry. Luckily, the dude at CVS "knows a guy" and I got one for free. This was especially awesome because I was thinking my old trusty one would show back up, but no such luck. So free meter for me! It's tiny and green and super cute. Win! Plus, I got a random text from someone who I haven't talked to in ages (nor really had the desire to talk to) and it was just weird because I'm sure it was a mistake. It made me feel all awkward inside. lol Plus, I've tried to cut down on my TV watching (read: I'm limiting myself to two episodes of Take Home Chef a day because I'm obsessed) so I can actually accomplish stuff instead of being hypnotized for hours. It's working, so yay. Plus, I still get my 6'4" of Aussie goodness, so everyone wins.

Lately I've been a little bit obsessed with ADELE and Katy Perry. I can't fight it--I actually bought their stuff off iTunes; it's that serious. ADELE is chubby and British and her voice is totally sultry and sleek--amazing. She is awesome. And Katy Perry is the new Cindy Lauper--just feel-good jams that make you want to sing along. She does a cover of "Use Your Love" by The Outfield that makes my life amazing. I JAM to that in my car like it's my job. In fact, the other day, I'm driving to Tiffany's work and blasting that shizz and this dude next to me LOVED it. It was awesome.

Speaking of going to Tiffany's place of employment, I went because her, Dee, Sam, and I went to go see The Happening on Friday, the new M. Night Shamalyn (Shamalayan? Shamalaun? Shamalamadingdong? I dont' know...) movie. My issues were the following: too many story lines that weren't really tied together well, mucho mucho gore, lots and lots of death and my main beef: Marky Mark remaining fully clothed. Um... When there are brain harming toxins of death in the air, and you go outside, TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRT AND USE IT AS A MASK MARKY MARK! DUH! Sooooo dissapointing. But I love Zooey Deschanel a lot, so my life wasn't that bad. In short, I don't reccomend it, especially not for a $10 ticket. BALLS.

Also too expensive? Gas. I'm kind of above paying $4 for a gallon... I'm about to be in a pinch, y'all. Serioulsy. I'm below a quarter of a tank.

Hmm, what else? Trying to be more active this summer than during the year. I'm trying to take Lancelot to the dog park twice a week (accomplished last week, awww yeah!) and take him for longer walks. We both could stand to lose a little bit of poundage, so that's the goal. Plus, I think I'm officially a size smaller and that gives me joy in my soul. Holla!

I went to the beach for the first time this summer on Friday. It was a mind over matter situation, too. I went to walk Lancelot in the a.m. and it was cloud-ish and gross, looking like it was going to rain but I said, "NAY! I'm going to la playa!" I even drove through a little rain (just sprinkles, but still rain) on the way there, but once I arrived it was so nice! Blue sky, no ominous rain clouds, it was great. Strapped on the iPod (Katy Perry and ADELE, lol) and layed in the sun. Sometimes, I guess, Miami is awesome. Sometimes. A little bit.

I head to migrant camp next Sunday for a week of madness, I'm sure. I don't even want to think of the confusion that will ensue... A week with Ms. D=mucho chaos, I can already tell.

I've also been rocking on my book this week and I can't wait to finish. I've been reading The Mists of Avalon since Avalon actually existed... or so it seems. And OMG emo Lancelot breaks my heart! *el sigh* I'm serioulsy going to have to decompress from this book. It appeals so deeply to my inner nerd that I want to belive it's real. I'm lame. Whatever.

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

Much love!
