H A P P Y H A L L O W E E N!
I kind of look like an evil kitty in this pic. And yes I’m a cat, not a mouse. Note my gray contacts. Only a select few at work have noticed. But no worries I have another costume for tonight that is much more interesting 
MEOW
I stole this from kristen at vingtage journalizations. Because we all know that I want to be a Disney Princess (don’t judge me!) What is funny is that this was my nickname on my basketball team in junior high. That’s what I got for being on an all boy team. They were always asking me where my John Smith was. I know where my John Smith is now
You Are Pocahantas!
Free-spirited and wise. You have a strong passionate spirit that touches and changes all who know you. The wisdom and common sense that you have is really what guides you through life. Even so, you also have a very playful side that loves adventure and excitement.
Which Disney Princess Are You?
One last note: This was one of my choices for my halloween costume. It was won out by another Disney Princess. Can you guess which one? You’ll find out!
Matt from Delicious Nothings just told me about http://www.lala.com. It sounds pretty cool. You can listen to any song once in its entirety for free. This definitely helps you decide if you want to buy a whole album or not. Below are the bullet points from the email I received after signing up. Oh and if you sign up, the first 50 are free 
6 million songs are waiting…
What are you waiting for? Go check it out!
I’m so fucking angry right now. Actually that’s not true. I was for like 5 minutes but now I’m just indifferent. For those of you that read my posts about my ‘grams’ (here and here) this is the conclusion.
She called me twice on my mom’s birthday, and I wasn’t ready to talk to her. She called me again last night and again this morning. I was at tae kwon do last night and not at my desk this morning. I was going to sit down and write a letter today but because I AM the bigger person, I called her back. This was our conversation:
g: where are you at?
me: I’m at work
g: so you can’t talk
m: not really
g: so why are you ignoring my calls? is this how it’s going to be? you don’t want to talk to me?
(please keep in mind she is not some nice elderly lady. her voice is filled with sarcasm and neediness. also i called her crying on Labor Day and she never returned my call. she just happens to find my number on my mom’s birthday when she’s probably feeling an emptiness now that her daughter is gone)
me: I’m busy, much like you were too busy while you were here to see me
g: oh no. you didn’t make any effort to come see me!
(OMFG are you serious?! I tried on 3 different occassions to try and work something out with her until i finally decided to give up. Not to mention that C’s dad died during the middle of her stay here)
me: you had a car! I called you!
g: so this is how it is?
me: yes I’m done
g: ok bye (hangs up)
I’m pretty sure this isn’t what normal grandmothers are like. They aren’t this self absorbed. I’ve had plans to meet my cousin T for dinner tonight. I hope that the topic of ‘grams’ doesn’t come up. C thinks I should say something to T so maybe she can talk to ‘grams’. But you know what? I don’t care enough to want someone to show her my point of view.
As far as I’m concerned I haven’t had a grandmother since my surrogate Grandma died when I was 15. She babysat me every day from the time I was 6months to 12 years. She was a grandmother: warm, loving, kind. She baked me cookies, held me when I cried, let me talk about my problems (even when she knew I was in the wrong), she apologized when she was wrong and she never made me feel nonexistent.
The ever awesome Kat from Tough Girl 101 awarded me with this beauty:
I want to pass this on to all of the fabulous bloggers on my blogroll —> (aka Blogs I Voyeur)
