Poopy Mondays

Ugh. Mondays. Hate 'em. Been sitting here at work for an hour and a half and so far have done about 2 minutes of work.

A big Happy Birthday shout-out to my mom, who turns FIFTY today!!!!

This weekend was fairly uneventful. Friday's shower went well, I guess. I was diasappointed at the number of people that showed up, but oh well. Sometime I forget that Mormons are the biggest flakes and cheap-o's ever. Lame. Saturday was the laziest of days. I only slept in until 9:30. Bizarre. I think b/c I was hungry. Went to the mall b/c Sephora was giving out free Stila lipglazes so I snagged one. Then we headed to the other mall to have my ring checked out. I noticed at work the other day that it looks like a corner of my diamond is chipped. Yikes! So I took it in and it turns out, yes, it is chipped. Sad!! Luckily, my diamond has a lifetime warranty, so they will replace it with a diamond of the same clarity and size and whatnot. But I like MY diamond. We looked at tons of diamonds, and although mine isn't the highest clarity, it's super nice for what it is. You can't see any inclusions under a scope or with the nekked eye. So they are ordering some diamonds in for us to look at. I may decide not to replace it right now if they diamonds are ugly. I told Derrick it must mean it's time for an upgrade. ;) He wasn't buying it.

We decided to go to a new restaurant for dinner. I had heard some good things about it, even though the reviews online weren't so great. It's a Mexican place on the Southside called Conejitos (which means little rabbit for you gringos). It was actually pretty good. And super cheap. And it better be, considering your dinner comes out on paper plates!!! We got chips and salsa, a Coke, and I got chicken enchiladas with refried beans, and Derrick got 4 steak tacos. Grand total of $10.60. Can't beat that!! We'll be going back for sure. Oh, the salsa was really good. Spicy, but fresh and yummy.

Books go on sale today for Fall Semester. Gah. 2 weeks. I wasn't really ready for school until I took this temp job. I'm soooo ready for school now. Plus, I'm excited for new school supplies. When I was a kid I loved back to school time. I would take out my new backpack and pencils and notebooks everyday and look at them and arrange them and countdown the days until the first day of school. What a DORK!! Still, it's like a fresh start. Clean slate. Love it. What I do not love, however, is paying for books! Last semester I paid over 800. This semester they have a deal tho, and you get all the books in a bundle and it comes with CDs of all the books that you can install and create folders and cross-search for topics. Should be pretty cool. If I use it. Ha. I think the bundle is $500, at least that's what my friends say. I already bought one book off a friend who took the summer class. So that saved some cash. I have NO BOOKSHELF space to put these suckers. It's already busting at the seams. What to do, what to do...

I'm going to take some cooking classes this fall. The one I really want to take is the Sushi class, but I think I will take the Dim Sum and Slow Cooker class too. They're only $7 each, and it's a one night class for 2 hours. Hopefully I can get some other people to take it with me. We'll see. No one seems to like to come out of their holes and do anything. Maybe b/c they have kids. Still, make the hubby watch them for 2 hours, they'll survive.

So I had to laugh when I read this joke this morning. It's kinda gross, but I thought it was hilarious.

An old married couple no sooner hit the pillows when the old man passes gas and says, "Seven Points."
His wife rolls over and says, "What in the world was that?"
The old man replied, "It's fart football."
A few minutes later his wife lets one go and says "Touchdown, tie score."
After about five minutes the old man lets another one go and says, "Aha. I'm ahead 14 to 7."
Not to be outdone the wife rips out another one and says, "Touchdown, tie score."
Five seconds go by and she lets out a little squeaker and says, "Field goal, I lead 17 to 14."
Now the pressure is on the old man. He refuses to get beaten by a woman, so he strains real hard.
Since defeat is totally unacceptable, he gives it everything he's got, and accidentally poops in the bed.
The wife says, "What the heck was that?"
The old man says, "Half time, switch sides."

Ha!!
