Deliciousness

Um...yowza! Awesome little etsy shop (etsy-as in where I found my ghoulies) FatDaddyBakeShop Tell me they don't look delicious and yummy and oohhh. This girl has done so well that she's opening her own little retail shop. Smart woman! It's a double layer cupcake in a jar and that come in some awesome looking flavors. Must get a couple soon. Another mad cool thing that I've been checking out is the new Pink Paislee Live site (scrapbooking)...it's like facebook but for scrapbooking. It rocks. LivePink Check it out if you're into scrapping and add me!!

In other news- another one of my best friends (Dawn) just found out she's pregnant. I am so super happy for her. She'd been trying to get a hold of me all weekend and finally emailed me while I was at work on Monday. She said "John and I will be joining the mini-van club in November."

Let me just say, though, that I'm glad I found out in an email. I am truly happy for them, and so excited- but I spent pretty much the rest of the day bawling every time I thought about it. I called her on my way home and she could sense I was down but I was not about to ruin her special time with my unfair jealousy so I wouldn't tell her why. It IS unfair, I know that. And it's not that I'm necessarily jealous, it's just that they basically "weren't really trying too hard, but weren't preventing" and here Tom and I am- charting and temping and everything else. It's just not happening. This will be their third child...it's virtually effortless for them. Why is it so fucking hard for us?

It's horrible to feel this way, horrible. But I just can't help it. I called my mom on my lunch break because Tom wasn't in his office and bawled to her. Then emailed Tom and bawled to him. Then I traded emails all day with Greg (another one of Tom's best friends) who was cracking me up and made me feel a lot better. Got home, cried to Tom some more and felt even better. Yet, still, here I sit getting all weepy. Hopefully coming here to admit that I'm a rotten friend for being sad while she's so happy will make me feel better or at least less guilty. It's not fair of me, and I know that. But, I'm just getting it out- I certainly didn't let her know that. I just wish it would happen for us.

One Republic and Water for Elephants

I've been wanting to post about One Republic for a while. They piss me off. Every time I hear them on the radio being interviewed about Timbaland and his remix of their song, they're bitching about it. Shut the fuck up. (Sorry non-cuss lovers). But for real. He didn't just add the "Eh, eh" thing like you said he did. He totally re-arranged the song and gave it the beat that it needed to be a hit. Get over yourselves. It's a good song- it is. Your version is good. But it's very GeorgeMichael-ish and he got rid of all that. IT WOULD NOT BE THE HIT THAT IT IS WITHOUT TIMBALAND'S REMIX. That bears repeating. IT WOULD NOT BE THE HIT THAT IT IS WITHOUT TIMBALAND'S REMIX. Your next single is really good, so don't worry about your credibility as artists-it doesn't matter that you have a hip hop song. Suck it up- you needed him. It's ok. Quit making it sound like you didn't because you look like assholes. **ok, stepping off soapbox**

Water for Elephants. I never would have read this book had it not been for the book club I'm in. I'm horrible about judging a book by it's cover and the cover of this one just did not seem like something I'd be interested in reading, so I never even picked it up to see what it was about. Shame on me. The book is amazing. I never thought I'd enjoy reading about circus life, lol..... but it's filled with romance and mystery and is reminiscent of Moulin Rouge. It's seriously one of my favorites ever now. If it's something you've passed up before- pick it up and read a couple pages. I was so wrapped up in the people's lives that I didn't want it to end- which is what makes an awesome book, imo.

Go Patriots!

It's the Superbowl....the hottest and best quarterback is playing today -- Mr. Tom Brady .... if they pull this off they will be only the second team ever to have an undefeated season in the NFL. Come on boys. Do it!
