chain letters

I got this in an email from my uncle and it made giggle. I feel the same way about all those stupid chain email things/facebook scams. I can't believe people fall for these things! I remember back in the dark ages when Myspace was all the rage and friends constantly posted bulletins to the effect of "repost this or you will never love again!" to the point where I would delete them as friends. Seriously? I'm a bit superstitious, but I at least know that fate is not determined on whether or not one forwards an email or reposts a bulletin. Silly people.

It's not as long of a read as it looks, but it'll definitely waste some time if you've got some to waste. (and Lord knows I do)

As we approach the beginning of another month -- I want to thank all of you for your educational emails over the past year. I am totally screwed up now and have little chance of recovery.

I no longer open a bathroom door without using a paper towel, or have the waitress put lemon slices in my ice water without worrying about the bacteria on the lemon peel.

I cannot use the remote in a hotel room because I don’t know what the last person was doing while flipping through the adult movie channels.

I can’t sit down on the hotel bedspread because I can only imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed..hmmmm

I have trouble shaking hands with someone who has been driving because the number one pastime while driving alone is picking one’s nose.

Eating a little snack sends me on a guilt trip because I can only imagine how many gallons of trans fats I have consumed over the years.

I can’t touch any woman’s purse for fear she has placed it on the floor of a public bathroom.

I MUST ALSO SEND MY SPECIAL THANKS to whoever sent me the one about rat crap in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing.

ALSO, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die for the 1,387,258th time.

I no longer have any money, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.

I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa’s Novena has granted my every wish.

I can’t have a drink in a bar because I’ll wake up in a bathtub full of ice with my kidneys gone.

I can’t eat at KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes, feet or feathers.

I can’t use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.

BECAUSE OF YOUR CONCERN, I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.

I no longer buy gas without taking someone along to watch the car so a serial killer doesn’t crawl in my back seat when I’m filling up.

I no longer drink Pepsi or Fanta since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put ‘Under God’ on their cans.

I no longer use Cling Wrap in the microwave because it causes seven different types of cancer.

THANKS TO YOU I can’t use anyone’s toilet but mine because a big black snake could be lurking under the seat and cause me instant death when it bites my butt.


AND THANKS TO YOUR GREAT ADVICE I can’t ever pick up a Penny dropped in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a $ex molester waiting to grab me as I bend over.

I no longer drive my car because buying gas from some companies supports Al Qaeda, and buying gas from all the others supports South American dictators.

I can’t do any gardening because I’m afraid I’ll get bitten by the Violin Spider and my hand will fall off.


If you don’t send this e-mail to at least" 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes", a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 p.m. tomorrow afternoon, and the fleas from 120 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor’s ex-mother-in-law’s second husband’s cousin’s best friend’s beautician . . .


If you do not forward this bad luck will follow you for the rest of your life ;-)

A German scientist from Argentina , after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their e-mail with their hand on the mouse.

Don’t bother taking it off now, it’s too late.


PS: I now keep my toothbrush in the living room, because I was told by e-mail that water splashes over 6 ft. out of the toilet.

Hopefully, I'll be back with an outfit post! Last night I was just to tired to whip out the tripod, but Chris is off tonight so I can rope him into being my photographer! (he takes better pictures anyhow)

I'm off to go running, eat lunch, waste some more time at work before getting off EARLY for a Dr.'s appt (which I really don't need, but I would love to miss work! haha) and then going to take pictures of my dad and his staff for their new website! Followed by a workout, some Moe's and then bedtime! (squeeze in a blog post somewhere in there) :]

laugh

I just laughed so hard at this video. And I'm not really sure why, but it's probably because I laugh that hard at crazy Mac Photobooth sessions with friends... oh, and her crazy laugh doesn't hurt either. Something about distorting the face is SO funny! So, enjoy, I hope you laugh as hard as I did. (please do, so I don't feel dumb. HA)



Back later with an outfit post? Possibly.

blown out

I have such a headache right now! Ughh
I messed around with my blog layout a bit over the weekend. I like this better. I also added some more links to my blogs area and a last.fm recently played tracks list. It's a lot easier than having to think of what I'm listening to at the moment. I can just say, "Here's my last.fm url, it has everything categorized." Ha, I'm so lazy.

Christopher took a lot of pictures of me in this outfit, but the sun just wasn't cooperating. Most of them look blown-out, and took a lot of editing to look decent. So these 3 were the only ones that made the cut :/



dress: forever 21
cardigan: target
tights: old navy
shoes: toms




I absolutely love this cardigan. If I didn't make that clear in the last post, haha. I'm on-and-off with this dress, though. I think I might sell it, or donate it to goodwill. The zipper on the side is broken and only zips up half-way, but I would only wear it with a cardigan anyway to hide it. I dunno. I just really wanted something in buffalo plaid at the time, so I might've been a bit hasty in purchasing it :/ BUT, this was another outfit that I just threw together with things I never thought to combine before! Blogging about what I'm wearing really inspires me to look harder in my closet rather than buying new things. Not to mention the inspiration I get from looking at other bloggers! It also makes dressing differently feel like it's worth my time. There aren't too many fashionable people down here. They are few and far between. Most of my friends have unique style, but we're a rarity. So it's easy to feel really out of place when you're dressed so nice and everyone else around is in jeans and t-shirts. I kept getting looks at the mall in this outfit, but then I also got compliments on my tights :] I've gotten to the point, though, that I just don't care if my style is eye-catching. I try to take it as a compliment. But it's such a testament to the way people view getting dressed when it's fairly simple to me to put even the slightest amount of thought/energy into an outfit only to then get called out for always looking "dressed-up." I go out with people sometimes and they tell me they feel "underdressed" compared to me. I feel bad but, it's my style and it's really not hard! It's fun!
