& that's the way life goes

I’m up in the air about liquids being classified as food, but you consume them the same way, so I’m making an executive decision to put this in the category of food.

I love this pop!  Yes, pop…it’s made by Faygo which is made in Michigan…therefore it is pop and should be called pop if it is sold in any other state.  Sprite, Coke, Pepsi….call whatever you like: Pop, Soda, even fricking soda pop I don’t care.  Drinking Faygo?  It’s pop. kthx!

A good friend is a connection to life – a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world. ~Lois Wyse

You know what I found out yesterday? The most amazing news of the week! My BFF who left me to move to the sunshine state (aka Florida) booked her flight for our “road trip”. I say “road trip” because we know where we are going so I don’t think that qualifies us for a road trip, those are supposed to be spontaneous. We will however, be renting a cabin and relaxing with some adult beverages (I hope) watching Lake Huron lap at the shore. And our beverages will be better than the nasty beer (aka MGD, Budweiser, and Mikes Hard Lemonade) we drank there 8 years ago. GAH! I feel old.

I am ridiculously excited about this trip because it will be nice to have some girl time, and I haven’t seen her since I think Thanksgiving and we just went and got coffee. I’m also excited for the actual car ride, it’s not the same as being in the car with C…well maybe but in a different way. I’ve known IC for…oh dear let me count…12 or 13 years. So there is a lot of history, I’m sure you have friends like that too. We were inseparable almost all through high school, therefore creating lasting memories and laughs.

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t have a lot of friends. But that is totally fine with me because the friends i do have, I hold close to my heart and give thanks for them everyday, because they are true friends. Friends who know me and still love me. Friends that I don’t censor myself around. And THAT makes me a lucky girl!

Let the countdown begin!

Ah I need more time in a day! I have like 3 posts sitting in my head. And who knows how long my memory will store them until it makes room for something else. Gah!

Here is something smushy I’ve been meaning to post since Wednesday…If it invokes the gag reflex, don’t say I didn’t warn you…

If you read my earlier posts you know that I’m CAA-RAA-ZZY about chocolate. I called C♥ about how I left my candy at home on Tuesday. He felt bad for me since he knows how my day revolves around the substance.

I didn’t go home after work cuz I went shopping, but when I talked to C♥ while I was at the mall he informed me he had a surprise for me.

On the table when I got home were these:

True love knows the meaning of the extent of withdrawal. Candy is always better than flowers or a card. At least in my book

This table is so cute, it reminds me of something should be on the corner in a, market (for lack of creativity).  I know in the picture it kind of looks orange, but you can clearly see it’s a strawberry and those are red.  So this is my red wild card.  I think yesterday’s post of the flower pens will be categorized as office supplies, because well, I said so

This table and chair set is on my floor outside the graphic design office.  The chairs are from IKEA, I asked haha.

I was in high school, I think it was. You know when Elmo became really popular? The tickle me Elmo dolls and all that shit? Well my Mom and I saw an episode of Sesame Street or something (why? I have no idea) but Elmo was really fucking hyperactive and annoying and he had new shoes. Throughout his whole what? 2 minutes on the screen all he kept saying was “Elmo got new choose” (you know the word shoes in that high pitched baby voice?)

So my Mom being who she was, would hysterically laugh and say this when I got new shoes.
“Ria got new choose, ria got new choose, ria got new choose”

Well in fact I did get new shoes for Christmas from C’s dad. His sister picked them out and damn she picked’um out good.

Have a looksy:

I know it’s not the best picture but sue me it was 7:50am and I had just sat down at my desk. They green blobs are hula girls and they say aloha on them.

Rock on with your bad self!
