My new favorite blog.

Seriously. I am sitting here in my chair at work, and almost falling on the floor laughing. Check it out.

Stuff White People Like

More wedding pics...

After looking at all my friends' wedding photos, and voting again (you can vote every day - I would be super fantastically pleased if you'd go vote for me again today! ;)), I have been looking through more of my photos, and I feel like sharing the ones that didn't make it into the top 7. Just for fun. Bear with me...I'm still a newlywed and get a little sentimental over the best day of my life. :) ::cheese!::
I promise, no more wedding stuff after this! :)

I love this picture of Mike, getting ready.

My "something old, borrowed, and blue." My mother-in-law's antique pendant, passed down to her from her grandfather. I was going to wrap it around my bouquet, but I decided that I loved the way it looked with my dress.

I love how pretty the aisle looked with these pomanders.

Me and my girls.

I think this shot is adorable...everyone making cheesy faces at us. :)

My husband is just too freaking adorable in this picture. :)

A very cool winery shot. :)

This is the photo we sent out with all our thank you's.
You gotta have the barrel room photos!

Here come the newlyweds! Ready to party. :)

Father & Daughter Dance

My cake table looks super cool in this shot...though you can only see the very top of the "I DO" letters.

I think this is such a classic, pretty picture of the cake cutting.

My nephew thoroughly enjoyed his cake... :)

Time to boogie!

Not sure what Mike is doing here...

Oh yeah, I like to get down on the dance floor!

The coolest bouquet toss shot ever...I totally threw it over everyone's head!

This shot is one of my favorites...end of the night, so romantic. :)

Thanks for putting up with all my wedding reminiscing! :)

Vote for me!

Dear blog readers:
I entered my wedding photos into the Knot's contest - The First Annual Wedding Awards. It is a competition for the best wedding of 2007. I personally think that my wedding was the best wedding EVER, so of course, I had to enter! :) Please, check it out, and please, vote for me! I would SO love to win a South African safari. I would also get my photos published in the Knot magazine. I'm sure my photographer, Angie Gaylor, would be thrilled!

Here is the link to my photos. I would be SUPER excited if you'd rate me 5 stars on all counts.... ;)

*muah!*

Gross idea

Okay, I came up with this awesome idea for a scene in a horror movie last night. Mike was totally grossed out, but I still think it's awesome, so I'm going to share it. I've had this horrible congestion lately, even though the rest of my cold has been gone for almost 2 weeks, the stuffed up, snotty nose just WON'T go away. I started to wonder where all the green boogers come from! Seriously, I blow my nose like every 5-10 minutes, and I am so amazed at the volume of this stuff. Where is it stored in me? My roommate T said that it is all in my sinuses...behind my cheeks, behind my eyes, etc. SO totally gross. I have snot pockets in my face. Makes sense why I've had such sinus headaches. But anyway.

So, I was thinking, for a horror movie, part of the storyline could be that one of the characters has a really bad cold. Then, however they end up getting murdered (it's a horror movie...almost everyone gets murdered, k?), their face would get blown off, and along with all the blood and guts, you'd see all the green boogery goo, too. Isn't that rad? I should totally be a horror film writer...LOL

On jobs and temping and getting really anxious

UPDATE:
Well, she finally emailed me back last night, answered my questions, and set up an interview time for tomorrow. I'm really excited about it. I'm just a little concerned because it sounds like she already has 4 other interviews tomorrow. I didn't realize there was going to be so much competition! Wish me luck...I'll update again tomorrow!!!

*****************************************************************************

So, I feel like my heart is going to beat right out of my chest at this very moment.

As some of you know, I received an email out of the blue last Friday from a graphic design company I had interviewed at for a receptionist job a few months ago. I didn't get that job, and I was really bummed about it, but I got over it. Well, on Friday, she sent me an email, asking if I was still looking for a position, because they are looking to hire a project manager. I have been SOOOO excited about it since then! I got in touch with her that afternoon, but we weren't able to talk, so she asked me to email her my questions about the job. I emailed her yesterday, and she will be back at work today after the long weekend, so today is the day that we need to talk! I'm really excited about this...It sounds like the perfect career job for me (from what I know of the job).

Now, the thing that is freaking me out is the timing. I am working at a crappy temp job, and I am so excited for my contract to be over. I agreed to stay til the end of February, which happens to be two weeks from now. My agent called me this morning, and needs to know TODAY if I am still leaving, or if I am going to sign up to stay til the end of March. Of course I want to leave at the end of February, but I'm still not sure what's going to happen with the job at the design firm! I have to talk to the designer today so I can find out what time frame they are looking to hire someone, and whether or not I even have a good shot at getting the job or not. This could be huge...I am about to go call her. Hopefully it will work out okay so I can call the temp agency and tell them I am still done in two weeks!!!

Wish me luck!!!

Mad Libs "Pickup Lines"

Ever heard these before? If so, run away dizzily!

• Can I buy you a sprinkle or do you just want the money?
• Your uvula must be real tired, because you've been oozing through my equator all night long.

• Is it springy in here, or is it just you?
• Do you have cheese? No? How about a date?
• Look at all of those Kleenexes and me with no zippers!
• Do you have a Band-Aid? Because I skinned my belly button when I pooted for you.

100) I don't like tea.

Mad Libs - "Mama's Boy"

Mama's Boy

At first you thought his relationship with his mother was creamy and moist, but now you're starting to think that your sweaty guy might be a little too attached to her carrot strings. Here are some signs to look out for:

• He jumps his mother 4 times a day (OMG!!!)
• She still buys him boys to wear at the office.
• He asked you to take cooking lessons from her, so you could make his favorite dishes like rack of bunny (OH NO!!!!), Alanna Pie (WTF?), and BB Soup. (hee hee!)
• She comes over to the April every night to run him into Nikki.
• He lectured you for an hour when you accidentally lost the Rachel his mother gave him.
• His mother asked him to drive back home...and he's considering it.

WOO! That was a pretty good one. The April/Nikki one was a little odd, but otherwise...Nice choices, girls! :)

The Third Date

Story details courtesy of Cristin.

The Third Date

On your first date, he rented Disneyland and took you to an expensive hot dog. On the second date, he got tickets to a sold out concert featuring the fabulous new band "Pink Two Hundred." Naturally, you were looking forward to the third date and even bought a new ballerina to wear. Unfortunately, he showed up in jeans, an enlarged t-shirt and carrying a container of Chinese windows. You're disappointed when he says that he thought the two of you could stay in and watch the newest release, "Dude, Where's My DVR, Part 12." You want to dance out loud. Instead, you invite him in and go to change into something more outrageous. When you return, the ugly movie is already playing, he is sprawled out on the house, eating with his purse from the boobies. You suddenly realize you're dating your father!


Um, ew!!!


LOL

Okay.....GO!

biting my nails

UPDATE:
(Like 2 minutes after my original post...)
Hillary is projected to win California. Wow. I'm a little sad. :( I was REALLY hoping for Obama. There's still hope...I'm still hoping it will happen!!! And yay for McCain. I was so not thrilled with Romney.

Seriously, elections make me nervous. Like I told my friend KT earlier, this is like a football game that lasts all day and then some. I am SO anxious to see who is going to win! I know that Super Tuesday isn't even going to decide it...things are so close right now! But, I'm especially to see what my own state of California votes. I'm glad that McCain is doing well as the Republican candidate, but I am seriously biting my nails and my heart is pounding over the race between Hillary and Obama. I am SO anxious to see what happens! Maybe I'll stay up all night...we shall see...
