I've been singing this one all day...

durangodawg13 and I were talking about the similiarities between Ugly Betty and Sex and the City a few weeks ago.  In the end, I concluded that Silvio pretty much ripped off Betty's romantic storyline and made her into a version of Carrie Bradshaw. 
It’s late, so please bear with my descriptions.

writing nutrition reports + Mamma Mia! soundtrack = happy Nena :)

"Lollygag".  I first heard it in Blazing Saddles: 

Come on, boys, the way you're lollygagging around here with them picks 'n' shovels, you'd think it was a hundred and twenty degrees. Why, it can't be more than a hundred and fourteen!


Ah, just like summers here in EP :)

was off the hook! :D

There were over 100 of us @ www.ustream.tv/channel/michael-urie%2C-live-and-incognito earlier this afternoon, and it was SO fun.  He ended up commenting/answering on lots of things I mentioned - such as the Getty Girls, the Ugly Betty musical episode, Nick Pepper, and Flight of the Conchords. 
Michael also asked where everyone was from - I answered "Texas!!", natch and he gave me a little shout-out with the "hook'em horns" signal.  I don't even go to school here (NM, peeps!) but it was still exciting.  I also mentioned how scary Patricia Field's wardrobe choices were....he looked a bit shocked, laughed, and didn't say anything.  :D


Chatting with him made my day.....and I must say, even though Marc is swishy, I think Michael is total hottie.

I have one professor that drops students if they miss more than 2 sessions of class.  Today he cancelled -  today I didn't go to school AT ALL.

Yes, my people, I got up at 9am, watched Arrested Development, grabbed some lunch, and went to work for some extra hours ($$$!!).  And tonight?  It's another show-fest...I'll study for that chem exam tomorrow.

A friend of mine from the www.modegirl-sandwichguy.com forum started a Getty shipper's team on www.sparkpeople.com.  I joined a few weeks ago, but never updated my profile - until today!!

It's a site that helps you keep track of both your nutrition and exercise habits, helps set goals, and stay motivated.  It looks great so far.

Last summer I lost 20lbs, then gained them back over the Fall semester :P   Time to lose them for good  -  and stay that way!!



Goals for the day: 

1) fruit for dessert tonight
2) walk 1 mile

Here's my first whack at making icons...just a little of my favorite men and art.  : )

hanging onto the last vestiges of my Christmas/Winter break.  School begins next week (!!!)  and I'm still debating if I should keep my current schedule or change it...again. It's really a matter of taking a 3-class sequence in chems or just take one easier one and get it all finished now.  It'll make my bachelor's degree that much closer.  However, I'll still have to take those harder chem courses if I want to go to PA school.  What's a girl to do?  I'm actually getting tired of being in school....I don't even know if I'll want to go back another 3 years (+ internship) after getting my bachelor's.  Eh...but I'll worry about that after my movie has ended.

I'm watching The Holiday (no official tutoring this week - I'm by myself and doing mainly paperwork and answering the phone).  I really wish that more of the storyline between Kate Winslet and Jack Black's characters was shown.  Their story is so sweet.  The movie ends with everyone back in England celebrating the new year.

My celebration actually came the 2nd.....a bit unexpectedly; a lot of my family members just showed up at my grandma's house, and we had a big lunch (crazy combo of ham + sides, Carribean shrimp, and the coconut cake that us girls made next door while watching Mamma Mia! )  There were more of us that day than on Thanksgiving - go figure.  Uncle Ray brought some home movies for us to watch - he still had my Uncle Mando and my Grandpa Tommy (that have both went on to be with the Lord), filmed.  They were just as I remember them always - smiles and love.  At least I can take comfort in knowing that I will see them again.

It was a little embarrassing seeing myself as a kid.  My mom insisted that I was still a child, and should dress like one.  That meant the dress, curled hair and HUGE bow.  No wonder I didn't start wearing dresses again til college.  Funny thing - we saw footage of my Aunt Gloria's baby shower...and you can see me sneeking to the door and motioning my eyes to the outside while tilting my head.  I walk out, and soon there's a trail of like, 5 kids after me :D  It was hilarious seeing that  - most of those "kids" aren't related to me, but they're still my family.  I hadn't realized how long its been that we've known each other.

Crikey, I could blabber on for a while, but I'll stop here. I'm almost done with my candy cane. :D

SO, Ribs and I rang in the new year with Phil Joel singing "Beautiful Sound" via YT (Mr. Bean's Holiday on the telly, hehe) while thanking God for the past year and asking him to bless this one. 

We could hear the neighbors and cousins going nuts with the firecrackers and music, but I'm content with the simple and calm evening at home.  Today was beautiful outside...a little warmer than usual (the sun felt ah-mah-zing!!)....and I pray to God that this year, my heart will be joyful as well.
