Just a quick update....my "date" from 10 days ago decided to call *groan* He left a message i have yet to return it, any thoughts on what i should say? I thought i was off the hook seeing as it's been well over a week since i saw him...Help me !!!!
This email had me reminiscing about so many things from my childhood. Thought i would share:
You know you're a 90's kid if...
You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!"
You can sing the rap to "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air"
You've worn skorts and felt stylish or skids.
You yearned to be part of the Baby-Sitters club.
You know that "WOAH" comes from Joey from "Blossom" and that "How
Rude!"comes from Stephanie from "Full House."
You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a
Saturday to watch cartoons, the A Team and Wrestling.
You wore a ponytail on the side of your head and had fluffed bangs.
You wanted to change your name to "JEM" in kindergarten.
You remember reading "Goosebumps."
You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, wax off."
You have pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf.
You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.
You remember the craze then the banning of slap bracelets and slam books.
You still get the urge to say "NOT" after every sentence... Not...
You remember "I've fallen and I can't get up"
You remember going to the skating rink before there were inline skates
You ever got injured on a Slip 'n' Slide
You wore socks over leggings scrunched down, the fold roll, or pinned your jeans.
You remember boom boxes vs. cd players.
You knew what it meant to say "Care Bear Stare."
You remember Alf, the little brown alien from Melmac and Vicki the
Robot from "MY Little Wonder."
You remember New Kids on The Block when they were cool.
You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved
By The Bell."
You played and or collected "Pogs."
You used to pretend to be a MIGHTY MORPHIN Power Ranger and you owned a Skip It.
You had at least one GigaPet or NanoBaby and brought it everywhere.
You watched the original Care Bears, My Little Pony, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand.
You used to wear those stick on earrings, not only on your ears, but at the corners of your eyes.
You remember a time before the WB.
You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"
You thought it would be so cool to be Alex Mack.
You know the Macarena by heart.
"Talk to the hand" ... enough said
You thought Brain would finally take over the world.

5 Weird Habits
Alright so Jennifer was tagged to complete this and i decided to join in for shits and giggles. You are supposed to write down 5 weird habits that you have.
1) It horrifies me when others drink out of my glass or bottle or whatever it is i am drinking out of. I think it is terribly unsanitary and at the very least if they want to try my drink, i will turn the glass around so our lip marks do not touch. I don't need someone elses' saliva and food bits in my glass. Same goes for anything else i would put up to my lips. Dawn's dad once asked me for a drag of a smoke and I yelled out "what" with a disgusted look on my face. Once Dawn explained my aversion to him, he made a quip about me being able to share air with other people. Which leads me to my next habit...
2) Whenever i am out in public, walking past someone and they sneeze, i hold my breath until i pass the area that they were in. This also applies when people cough. Perhaps i have some weird issue with getting sick that i am unaware of, but i certainly do not want their icky germs in my body.
3)I have this obsessive habit of picking at my toenails. I'm not sure why but anyone that knows me has seen me at some time or another whip off my socks and fondle my toenails. I also always have them cut short. This is going to be a problem in June when i'm a bridesmaid as my friend wants us to get pedicures...i'll have to try and grow them.
4) Whenever I see a dead animal on the side of the road i bless it. My friend Lisa does this and i thought she was a big weirdo the 1st time i saw her do it and now i do it as well.
5) Years and years ago a friend told us while we were out drinking one evening that if you blow into the beer bottle when it is opened, you will not get a hangover. Usually a bit of mist comes out and if you get rid of it you will not feel the pangs of death the next day. Silly and very untrue, but i still do it to this day.

The Neurotic Date
So as per my New Years Resolution i'm stepping out of the box and i set up a date with the guy i met in December. Now just from talking on the phone with him to set up a meeting place, he seemed quite eager yet indecisive about where to meet and it was quite bothering me. To the point where i told him if it was going to be this difficult to choose a meeting place we might as well forget it. I told Jennifer i thought he was dumb and i wouldn't be gone for more than an hour. He asked if he could come and see her boyfriends band with me to which i replied no, we could meet up for drinks beforehand. I didn't want to commit to an entire evening if i did not like him or vice versa. So he tells me he will think of a place to meet that is inbetween us and call me back. He calls back and when i ask where he's thought of it's like he has no idea what i'm talking about and is like "ughhh, umm." So anyway we decide to meet at the place i had originally suggested. I tell him to meet me there at 7:30ish. To which he replies "when you say 7:30ish do you mean like between 7:30 and eight or like...." and "ok, well i guess i'll just find you in there or ummm ughhh, ummm" To which i reply "yes it's a bar and it's snowing outside, no need to greet me at the door just go inside and i'll find you" Ughh already my on my nerves.
So we meet up and i'm pleasantly surprised he's tall, has dark hair and i find him attractive. I had a few drinks the first time i met him so wasn't sure what to expect. So we have some drinks, get along well enough, we're both veggies for the same reasons and he's into the environment. I decide to invite him to see the band and hang out with my friends, even though i find him slightly neurotic. For example we both went to the washroom at the same time and he's like "ok, so i guess i'll meet you right back here, like right here" to which i just laughed. As well as the previous 7:30ish conversation and other various things he had said throughout the evening. I started to feel like i was hanging out with Woody Allen or was in the movie A Beautiful Mind.
We head to our next destination which is to see Aarons band and meet up with everyone. The neurosis continue on the subway when he points at my wrist and is like "you're beeding, what happened" I look at my wrist and it's the indentation of my watch, no blood, just a mark. His neurosis were also very evident to Jennifer when he was trying to tell her how to work her camera. She said he was like a backseat driver. He even admitted to me that other people have thought he was neurotic and perhaps had some type of OCD...no shit. He went outside and when he returned instead of coming to sit at the table he just stood at the bar so i had to go and hunt him down. Another time, we went to join Jennifer, cousin Phil and a bunch of other people at a table, i sat, he stood behind us. I pulled a chair up and said he could sit so he did. I asked him if he was very anti-social to which he replied no, but he doesn't really know anyone. He then talked about his love of comic books and star trek and various sci-fi things, still not interacting with anyone else but me. As well, he and his ex had bought a house, they broke up and she moved out, but her stuff is still at the house, it's been over 6 months....weird. He asked me if i wanted to go back to his house to which i replied no, my ride was leaving so i shook his hand and told him to call me and i left.
So for starters there is no way i could possibly date someone who is so neurotic about everthing, where to meet, the time, where will he find me when i return from the bathroom etc. As well i'd like to think that i'm a very outgoing person and rather sociable....he is way more of an introvert and certainly not for me. So i gave it a shot...and now i'm not quite sure how to tell him i'm not interested without being mean. Any suggestions?

Trapped Mouse thrown into Fire Gets Revenge!!
Not sure if any of you caught this article in the paper last week, but i must give a hand to karmic retribution!! Yay for the mouse!!
Trapped Mouse Thrown into fire Gets Revenge
Fort Sumner, N.M - A mouse got it's revenge against a homeowner who tried to dispose of it in a pile of burning leaves. The blazing creature ran back to the man's house and set it on fire.
Luciano Mares 81, of Fort Sumner said he caught the mouse inside his house and wanted to get rid of it. Village Fire Chief Juan Chavez said the burning mouse ran to just beneath a window, and the flames spread up from there and throughout the house. Noone was hurt inside, but the home and everything in it was destroyed.
I loved this article, it reminded me of various stories i've read about hunters getting shot.

Weight-loss Challenge
So i've been terribly busy and neglectful on this blog and for that i appologize. My work is a 45 min commute from my house and on Tuesday evenings i sometimes work from 9-8pm. When i do that i stay in the city at a friends place, which i did last night. It was great, we watched tv ( Law and Order ) which i enjoy but only seem to watch when i'm with him and Scrubs which i had never seen but found quite funny. I was also able to relax and start to read TommyLand finally which was great. I have books upon books that i've borrowed or purchased and i never seem to get around to reading them. It seems when i'm at home i'm either on the computer, at the gym, running errands or doing whatever, i'm always on the go. It's difficult when i get home at 6pm after working all day. By the time i have dinner and hit the gym it's almost 10pm which leaves little time to get in the pleasures of reading. Lately when i get home i'm planning and cooking healthy meals to take to work. It seems i'm up till midnight cooking when i'd rather be reading :)
Jennifer and myself and now Yraucta have a new blog for our challenge to one another check it out at
jenniferandashley.blogspot.com
It stemmed from a conversation a few of us were having post new years over fried mars bars and ice cream :) Each of us has a different reason as to why we would like to slim down. My motivation is a wedding in which i will be a bridesmaid in June. The bride is a size 0 and the rest of the wedding party not much bigger. I'd rather not stand out as a big fat cow up there so that's my motivation for this challenge. As for the others you will have to ask them though i believe Jennifer's is a cute green dress. Anyway, check us out on there and heckle us if you must....we enjoy it!!

New Years and Stepping out of the box
Alright so welcome 2006!!! I attended a house party for New Year's which was good times. We strolled into Jennifer's apartment around 5:30am and slept well past noon. At lunch the next day i was supposed to order something i had not tried before. See, my New Year's Resolution was to step outside the box, get out of my comfort zone and try new things. So i did just that, however the bar did not have the ingredients for my order and i went back to my old failsafe the veggie burger. However, i ordered Cajun fries which was new for me and i snuck off to call the fellow i met the week before which i consider stepping out of the box, for me anyway. I arrived back at the table to announce what i had done, see i could not have told my friends ahead of time as they would have taunted me and listened in had i called him at the apartment.
Jennifer and i also decided that we're fatsos and need to lose some chub. We've decided to have our own Biggest Loser contest. We measured each other and hopped on the scale to get ourselves started...i've been to the gym 3 days in a row now Jennifer :) Anyway, see for those that know us, i'm sure you've heard one of us call the other fatass or fatty or some other such name. Jennifer and i decided a few years back that these two guys on the Amazing Race were hilarious. They referred to one another in ways one would not normally talk to a friend. I recall an episode while one was repelling the other was trying to motivate him by yelling "swing you fat bastard, swing." So Jennifer and I decided to join in on the fun. Now i just received an email from Miss Jennifer saying we should start a two-way biggest loser blog to help movtivate ourselves and for you to all amuse yourselves with our struggles. Yup sounds like a great idea fatty let's get on that :)
