I looked around, I stood alone, I knew what I had to say...

For those of you awake at such an ungodly hour, Danielle is going to be on the Early Show on CBS, it runs from 7-9 and she doesn't know what point she'll actually be on, but you should watch! I am going to tape it.

ETA: Just in case anyone finds this post... http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4963741n

You know what just occurred to me? My new apartment complex is in a neighborhood. Not just a section of town with a name and some apartment complexes and random shopping centers. (Though it is part of one of those too, lol.) But a real neighborhood near houses and back roads and stuff. One of the things that I really want to do once I live over there is buy a bicycle because there are roads near there that I would love to just ride a bicycle up and down and go in a big circle and still manage to cover a sizeable area. Lord knows I need the exercise, and I freaking LOVE riding a bicycle. I cannot thank Rebecca enough for reminding me how much I enjoy riding a bike.

Also I was watching Biggest Loser tonight and I really hope there is a rowing machine in the fitness center at my apartment complex. Not because it looks like anything that remotely resembles fun, but because it looks like just the type of thing I need when I am not working my legs on a bike.

Please everyone remind me of this post when I am feeling lazy and/or complain about how fat I am.

I haven't written a "real entry" in 4 days. I realized this upon posting my fried rice... so here ya go.

Thursday is really the one noteworthy day... it was very long but worth every minute. Even worth forgetting to tape the AI results! (I am SO glad those 2 girls went home!) I went to work of course... but I actually got up early and showered and ironed. So then on my lunch break I went to the post office... I actually got back 5 minutes late, whoops. Nobody really cared though. I got Girl Scout cookies which I knew were coming, but my mom threw in a few other cool things as well. Thanks, mom!

After work I went home because I wanted to straighten my hair (yes, I realize that's lame) and I needed to change anyway since I was in business casual clothes. That took WAY longer than I had anticipated, and I got to Bible study 45 minutes late. But I hadn't really missed anything so that was good. I'm really glad I went because it was good times. OK I didn't elaborate very much on that, but oh well :)

After that I ran to Walmart to grab a couple birthday cards (I am MAD at Walmart! They no longer have the "21 things you should have done by the time you're 21" card that I get everyone for their 21st birthday! Unless it's at some other Walmart I haven't been to yet.) and went over to Applebee's in Tampa for Jenny's 21st birthday party! It was so much fun. Her sister went all out with the decorations and the cake and everything. And Jenny loved it so that is always good.

Yesterday after I got home from work, all of Thursday's activities finally caught up with me and I was tempted to go to bed at like 7:45pm! But of course I stayed up and goofed off on the internet instead :) Then today I got up and went to Target at 10am... I never do stuff like that, especially on a weekend! I usually just sit on my butt or don't go anywhere until the afternoon. But I needed a new pan for my fried rice adventure, and I wanted to make the stuff soon! I also ended up getting "The Never Ending Story 2" (Jonathan Brandis!!!!!!! ♥) and "Kindergarten Cop" (It's not a too-mah!) for $5.50 each... awesome.

It took me about 1.5 hrs for the whole fried rice process to be done but it was way worth it. It's not like the best fried rice in world history (that award goes to Taipei in Westport, CT), but I like it enough. Yay!

So anyway, a little tidbit I wanted to share with y'all... I was watching the episode of Celebrity Fit Club where that guy who had gone to rehab comes back. And something he said really stuck out to me. He said, "God spoke to me and told me I was worthy of being tested." That's such an awesome thing to hear! We all go through stuff (I know I have been tested lately... some of you have been victims to that, sorry!) but we are so worth it to God because He would not just sit back and let us go through total crap if He didn't think we were capable of overcoming it! So I've been reminding myself every day that God finds me worthy of the tests that I go through :)

I'm also addicted to these songs:
"Only Grace" by Matthew West (it's in my Myspace profile haha)
"I Shall Believe" by Matt Brouwer
"Praise You In The Storm" by Casting Crowns (they played it at the Bible study I was at on Thursday night... sooo good!)

Oh, OfficeTeam in Danbury called me for a job... wow so they never once called me in 10 months and I never "checked in" with them and they actually called me NOW? Idiots!!! And the Cold Stone I applied at 2 months ago finally called me... too bad I'm moving to the other side of town, sucka!

Let's talk about how April 4th is only the best day ever.

~Full House Season 3 comes out on DVD.
~NARNIA comes out on DVD.
~Mat Kearney's new CD comes out... of course I still don't even have his first CD but he's awesome so I should get right on that.
~It's Brian's birthday. Which doesn't matter TOO much since he's in GA, but shh.
~I'll have to find some other reason so this doesn't look too lame... hahaha.

So basically I will need to have a LOT of money on April 4th so I can hit Target/the mall after work that day. (I think it's a Tuesday.) I am excited.

( and start getting real! )

i met ace and mallory from the paris season of real world :) which is the one season i didn't get to watch since i was in ft. lauderdale w/like no tv access... lol. but i saw them on the inferno. they were cool. ace is a freaking alcoholic lol... mallory's very innocent, except for her ability to outdrink ace... haha. she's still a virgin, go her! we dug some secrets out of them, but nothing people didn't already assume anyway lol. and it was so funny some of the stuff people found out such as how the next rw is in philly, frankie leaves the show, etc.... that i already knew! i'm usually the last to know about this crap, but apparently not this time! go me! and i got their autographs too. yay.

good parts:

martina mcbride's performance
foo fighters if they didn't have that dumb piano guy
amy lee - "i'd like to thank 50 cent"
yoko ono's speech
even justin timberlake performed well


bad parts:

the other 3 hours. seriously, the grammy's were HORRIBLE this year. what was that crap, yo!

yeah, certain lyrics of "my immortal" by evanescence hit home. i tried typing them out but it looked stupid to me for some reason. oh well.

my computer is kinda sorta not really better. hehe. oh and LEAH IS BACK YAY!!!!!!! hehe.

so i should probably be sleeping but i'm not cause i know i won't be able to. eh, sleep is overrated.

today i went over to safety harbor and hung out with the crusade kids. fun stuff. we played knockout (i lost), carpetball (i won a bunch), scattergories, catch phrase, and "metroball". and james broke a light cause he's a "moron" :) oh and apparently i know what adultery is! haha. then we all went to cici's pizza and quinton made us turn in the wrong driveway. good job, good job... yeah so i ate way too much food. then i came back for the floor meeting which consisted of signing 2 pieces of paper and eating a cookie. STOOPID. then we watched american idol and the finale of rw/rr. how stupid must the rw guys have felt when they found out coral got bit by a spider!!!! dumb bells. road rules really deserved to win though. (i'm a big sarah fan... lol)

hmm, so i've had some anonymous commenters in my day... i might know who one of them is now (provided there's more than one)... lol. duuuuuuuh.

quote from theo: "this puzzle is mine. M-Y-N-E." yeah way to sound like a dork. cause we all know that if i were ever on a reality tv show i'd NEVER say anything dorky. ;)

so it would be highly beneficial to my sanity if jeremy was online more often... :-P

haha i went to go to the bathroom and i walk in on my side and julie comes in on her side and i was like whoa which then startled julie and it was funny.
