Ok. For my bday, Dougie surprised me with 2…TAYLOR SWIFT tickets!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!! The date is Friday, April 16, 2010 and they are very good seats! Now. I know a lot of you peeps would like to go with me so I have devised a plan. An essay writing contest. I am very serious about this. If you would like to go with me, you have to write an essay telling me why I should pick you. Here is the criteria:
Why you?
How many songs do you know?
How loud will you sing?
How do you feel about screaming kids?
If you could be any artist in the world, who would you be?
How do you feel about wearing matching outfits?
You make this essay worth my while and this could be you:
Soooooo Thanksgiving is at my house again this year. I like having it at my house. We have a good space for all the peeps. I also like making my company put on my turkey hat and say what they are thankful for. It’s a tradition. Here’s a pic from last year:
So my dilemma this year is that I am doing the Turkey Trot 5k in Long Beach on Thanksgiving morning. (I want to EAT on Thanksgiving therefore I must workout. I saw that there was a Turkey Trot and I just went for it.) Well, my job is to cook the turkey. That’s really all I have to worry about…food-wise. I am REALLY good at cooking the turkey. I have a wonderful recipe. Here is a pic of my turkey last year:
GORGEOUS!!! Now my question to you is; should I or should I not leave Dougie in charge of the turkey while I am at the 5k? He will have to baste and things…hmmmmm? It could turn out like this:
Two of my favorite things happened on Saturday night: A new snl AND Taylor Swift hosting! BEST SNL EVER!!! Sooooo funny. I’ll let you make up your own mind! Here are my favorite clips from the episode:
Hehehhehehe! I <3 Twilight too!!!
WONDERFUL!!!! And I love that Taylor and my favorite little werewolf are dating. So CUTE!!!
What a wonderful day I’ve had. Yes, the very opposite from my last blog. Why was my day so wonderful you ask??? Well. Let me tell you. I was at the grocery store, again, and I see a bunch of pink balloons and a whole pink display for Breast Cancer Awareness month. I ALWAYS buy the pink products. I can’t help myself. I LOVE PINK and anything to do with breast cancer awareness.
So I stroll on over to the display. I see pink cookies, pick chip clips (bought them), pink pens, AND…
A PINK SNUGGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
OMG! I can’t believe it. Of course I buy one. I was seriously contemplating buying more but realized Dougie probably would think I was crazy. Crazier. But at least I got one!!!! There are soooooo many things I can finally do, that I NEVER could do before, now that I have the Snuggie:
I can read:
I can file my nails:
I can Facebook:
I can talk on the phone:
I can eat corn on the cob:
And, of course, I can drink wine (NEVER could do that before):
Today was the worst day ever!!! Seriously. Here are the events, in order, of my day:
Took me an 1 hour and 45 minutes to get to school. I don’t understand why people cannot drive in the rain. Obviously you will have to drive a little slower! I saw like 50 cars hydroplane today. Ok I’m exaggerating. Only 25.
One of my friends, who I was supposed to pick up today on my way to work, due to her car troubles, very generously bought me a Starbucks. She sent it over, by student, and the first sip I take, seriously the FIRST, I spill down my white button down shirt. (Things you must invest in: Tide Stick To-Go)
Yay. I had music today with the students taught by another friend. Although, as I am walking out of the slippery cafe, my foot slips on a puddle and down I go on my knee, in front of 2 second grade classrooms AND the music teacher AND the other second grade teacher AND who knows who else lurking in the darkness, being right across from the office. (BTW, this is the same knee from the “House of Brews” night.)
THEN, during lunch, which is rainy day schedule BTW (means I get 30 minutes and have to go back to the room with the students where we have already been in for recess.) we are told there will be more cuts this year. Wonder if I’m going to get another pink slip?????
Finally, a few more things happen. Blah blah blah. I am NOT a happy bunny.
So I drive home, not as bad as the morning. Whoopie! <—- Sarcasm. Realize that I’m supposed to celebrate my 3 year anniversary with my wonderful, marvelous, incredible husband. Trying to make my night go a little bit better then my day, I stop by Vons to pick up some dinner and wine (duh). REALLY REALLY REALLY trying to better my mood but everything just makes me mad. Women with shopping carts. Lame guy asking if I need help picking the cheese. Teenage girls dancing around the booze section. UGH.
Sooooo I’m walking up to the cash register, face all grumpy, when all of a sudden I see that the gentleman in front of me is purchasing a dozen long stem roses and a bottle of champagne. Sooooo cute and handsome and smelling really good. Who is this man you ask? Well…
This is what wordle.com thinks about shannonscrazy.com…funny. It says words like sing, song, singer, dance. Pretty right on. Oh yea and Dougie jealous. Hahaha!
