Oh!

the view from my treadmill is not spectacular. in fact - minus the tv (when it's on) it's rather dull. i find myself staring at this outlet as it's rather high on the wall (for the air conditioner). it seems to have taken on a personality. this tiny little face saying 'Oh!' hmmmm....

have you heard the new song by Leann Rhimes - 'Nothin' Better To Do'? i love that song. currently listening to it in fact. although it did make me hurt my hip. well - i suppose i made me hurt my hip but nonetheless.... i was listening to the song while walking on the treadmill and got a bit spunky and sassy (did i really just use the word 'sassy'?) in my walk and it got rather bouncy. i may have also waved my hands about in the air. (nerdy..i know...but chris wasn't home) as a result i think i pulled a muscle in my hip and it hurt for weeks afterwards...ouch!

this blog is turning into treadmill stories. i don't really have much else to yak about. oh - i got some new yarn today! i know...i know..i shouldn't have. but it's for this extremely cute teddy bear pattern i found. i also bought stuffing. hopefully it turns out. i'll post pics when it's done. oh! and i found this posting there (at Micheals) - Warm Up America. Check it out - great idea for using up any scraps of yarn you can't figure out a use for! :)

what else?

i'm still stuffing envelopes at work! My fingers - aside from getting numerous paper cuts - were also getting rubbed raw along my right pinky from the outer lip of the envelope. then i discovered the latex gloves (of which the blood center is littered with!) and they are wonderful!

alright - dinner is served and i'm outta here :)

28

28 = second highest cribbage score possible*

28 = my cribbage hand :)

does it matter that chris still managed to beat me after getting this hand? as a matter of fact it doesn't. pish.

*29 is the highest possilbe score

and yes - i'm well aware of my own nerdiness.

Who's a Geek?

I'm a Geek!

Sorry - I know I said no more Potter Posts - but someone brought in HP cupcakes today w/character rings on top! How could I resist? And yes - I do have TWO Ron rings - what can I say...

"Weasley is MY King"

I Believe...

YAY!

and with that i promise not to post about potter for awhile. maybe. :)

Potter Party Pictures!

Kell Bell and I

I wanted this shirt!
(the front said 'Weasley is our King!)

Costume Contest
These were the winners.

Love the View!
This woman decided to stand herself right in front of me so I could have a nice view of her ass. How kind!

Blow Fishes!
After wondering around for a long time we decided to plunk ourselves down. This was rather dull so we entertained ourselves :)

What?

Ummm...
We are both supposed to be cross-eyed but Kelly goofed. As a result I look deranged and she looks high.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
that's all I got

"Performance"
These girls decided to show everyone a skit they created. It was...uh...well...interesting. sort of. i guess. but not really.

The Reaction
This is how Kell Bell and I felt about the "performance"

I Believe...
Although I'm only on Chapter 9! I may be proven wrong. I hope not though. I love Alan Rickman! I can't believe I'm only on Chapter 9! I was sick yesterday though which took away valuable reading time. sniff.

Back Support
Kelly and I just happened to plunk ourselves down in front of The Sex Bible. She had a silver wrist band which allowed her to get her copy first - I took this picture to keep her company in line..and to entertain myself. While I was waiting for her to return a group of girls (dressed as Death Eaters - but somehow I don't remember Death Eaters wearing ripped up garbage bags...) clamoured around me and started to giggle over the book shown above. One of many comments I heard..."Ewww! I would never do that! Would you??" they also picked up some copies but no one could be dared into actually opening it. I found it all hysterical myself :))

Oh the Excitement!
Kelly - as I mentioned - was the first to receive her copy and free poster. I was jealous.

Waiting...and Wating...
When will they call the PURPLE wristbands!?

The Line
finally at around 12:40 a.m. or so they called for the Purple's :)

At Last!
Oh the Excitement!

Ready to head home!
We were up WAY past our bedtimes :)

A fun time was had by all :)
Thanks for going with me Kelly!

And with that I leave you with one of the more memorable quotes heard during the night (by a girl returning to her group of friends after she struck-out in the Harry Potter Spelling Bee)

"YOUR MOM EATS SHOES!"

Potter Party!

HARRY POTTER PARTY!

that's right - i'm going one step further in my Potter Nerdiness - i'm attending the Harry Potter Party at Borders (or Barnes and Nobles - whichever is best)!

i hadn't planned on going. my mom mentioned that she was thinking about going - alone :) . then mia mentioned that she was going. then i got the urge to go. granted i already ordered my book and it's scheduled to arrive in the mail tomorrow - but when i get an urge i want it fulfilled NOW. i didn't have anyone to go with though - that is until Kelly said she would :)

so in about an hour or thereabouts i'm off to the Potter Party with KellBell :) It should be a nerdy night and i'm very much looking forward to it. i'm also looking forward to a completely uninterrupted day of reading tomorrow!

as for the book i ordered - i'll just return it :) that is if i can even get a book tonight...guess i'll have to see :)

tata!

Potter Nerd

I am a Harry Potter Nerd.

I have my pre-ordered (of course!) tickets to the midnight showing of 'HP and the Order of the Phoenix.' :)

I along with my co-worker Mia, her friend Susan and my "roomie" Kristin are going. Kristin is actually on her way over with a Papa Murphy's Pizza to watch 'Goblet of Fire' - which she has not seen. (she also hasn't read the books - something I'm trying to change). I even purchased some snacks - yummy Violet Crumble for the chocolate likers - and HP gummies for Kristin to enjoy during the show :)

I'm rather suprised at how quickly my nerdiness came to be. I didn't want to buy into all the hype even though everyone including the Aunt who used to not let her children trick-or-treat because it was evil bought into it. I started out just seeing the first 3 movies. Then I finally gave in and read the books - which I loved! Now I'm off to my second midnight showing. Not only that but I've named both of my pets after HP characters - Albus and Minerva! Wow...

All in All it should be a good night! :)

And did I mention that I have a slight crush on Ron Weasley. I don't feel so bad saying that anymore seeing as how he's legal and all now. But saying the word 'legal' makes me feel rather pedophilish so....hmmm....
