where have I been for over a week?

Well....I have been busy...

Spring has sprung and I spent all of last weekend cleaning the house. But before I did that I went to Target and spent a small fortune on Penguin Chocolate Mints (hey they are caffienated) and Lavendar Method Cleaning products. I also bought some new makeup. The Boots line is supposed to be amazing and I am a sucker for the buy twelve dollars of stuff and get one of three items free coupon. I have decided that The No. 7 lipsticks... are ... completely divine. They go on like a little slip of color. No taste, no smell, and very very subtle. Better honestly than anything maybeline has offered me in a long time. And the lipstick case is sexy as hell. Sophisticated. Dare I even say grown up? I think I shall. And... in doing a search for a boots link... I found this link (and apparantly even Greenpeace likes them).

So I get my house cleaned up, I take the insulating plastic off the windows and patio door (not sure if it worked or not, but its spring now). I decided that I was going to go through the boxes of old video tapes that I have laying around and found my Freaks and Geeks tapes. And yes, I decided that what I had was in such poor condition, that I needed to order the special edition of the dvds. I am so excited. I wish that they were shipping already. But I am a patient woman. I found all my Twin Peaks videos too. They are in really bad condition. I really really need season two on dvd. That will never happen I don't imagine. And that is really really sad. What about the fans huh? What about us?

I have actually gone to the gym once. My brother will be so proud.

Watched the nightmare that is Courtney Love on Letterman last night. Why would anyone no matter how much she craves any type of attention want to possibly jeapordize her legal situation with her daughter like that. The woman is going to loose any chance in hell she has to be a good mom. Fuck you Courtney Love. I am ripping your record off the internet right now... Sorry Richard Branson... but your little american sweetheart (who you shouldn't have signed to your label...) is a complete nut job and I will send you a personal check made out to you for the amount of money you may or may not loose by my ripping it, but please don't share it if you don't mind. You are just enabling her. No wait. We are all just enabling her but commenting and watching her freak show. It wasn't cute before and it is only sad and very much plastic surgery disaster right now. I hope someone is watching over her daughter.

Been playing with the newest tech toy... my new treo. Unfortunately I am stuck with Sprint. The people that work in the local store are complete morons. I don't trust them to take care of me at all. So I have learned that I am not going to go into the retail location...ever again. That I am going to just make a simple phone call to the 1 800 number (who thankfully haven't sent all their calls to India... it may be Canada, but at least there is no miserable IP caching going on so no lame and hard to deal with delay). But I love the phone. Alot. So fun. And if someone where to ask me if it was worth the 700 bucks, I would say no. Honsestly, I would say no. But, its what it cost and I wanted one. So what the hell.

Went out last week on a date for dinner. He was nice but I was completely uncomfortable the entire dinner, which meant that I talked alot and didn't really let up. I was uncomfortable because he was late and didn't call me to tell me so, called the manager of the restaurant who came over to the table. I waited a half hour, and he was there. It was crap. Then ordered a huge meal which was very expensive which I wasn't comfortable with at all. Wait for a second date to show you have a nice credit limit on your platnium amex please (and yes he pulled it out and says... platnium very quietly, it was petty and stupid and juvinille and very gross). He thought I was declase' because I didn't valet my car. Whatever. Just for you all who are interested in what appeals to people on a first date... do NOT answer your cell phone and proceed to talk at the table before you have even said hello, do not just order for your date let them choose and tell you and you can fill the waiter or waitress in on the choice but don't just choose, allow your date to order coffee instead of a second cocktail, let your date pass through the door first (I mean its just polite), let your date say thank you, and if you say you are going to call you really should. This is why I just abohrr dating.

I am listening to a conversation going on with some office mates. Its really interesting and I am learning something about the dynamic of someone who is professional and willing to help a customer talking to her officemate who is a complete freak and doesn't have a clue. Very educational.
