I have Dana and Kevin to thank for my Grey’s Anatomy obsession. To me, it was one of those shows that people either watched or didn’t … and those that didn’t, couldn’t care less. Now, LOST is that show to me.  I didn’t get on board in the beginning and now I just think it’s one of those dumb shows that repeats itself every week.

  Dana and Kevin are my favorite couple … ever. They are the perfect example of todays modern, progressive thinking, organic, fabulous teamy kind of couple. They both have great careers, big hearts, deep souls, and unique personalities. Dana and I worked together in Long Island and became more like sisters than friends. Kevin is her husband and he’s a character. I really wish I got to spend more time with them because i’m still trying to figure him out.  I’ve kind of just learned to stop trying and just run with it. We have different political views and he’s the kind of humor that I hate … that DRY political annoying humor that only SOME PEOPLE think is funny. I can’t stand it, but I love him, so I just laugh and pretend like I get it, but I don’t. (xo Kevin … Happy Birthday!)  Anyways,  They are expecting their first baby this summer and I am soo happy for them! Dana went from being sooooo freakin thin to having the CUTEST baby bump ever!  She doesn’t even LOOK LIKE SHE’S 6 months along … just has a tiny little bump in the front. It’s precious… but the little baby is ripping her insides apart. Poor thing. They’re going to make such great parents. Ok, that’s the low down on Dana and Kevin … back to Grey’s.

  I just wasn’t into it. The first season came and went. I was in college, busier than busy, and didn’t have the time to have ” a show.” They were obsessed with it and insisted I atleast give the show a shot. I borrowed their DVD box set and started going over to their apartment on Thursday nights to watch the new episodes. They started filling me on who dated who, who is screwed up in the head, why everyone has such insane emotional issues, and the current status of every characters life. After like 4 Thursdays and a DVD box set later … I was hooked.  We’d make dinner, have sweet little chit chats, and watch Grey’s. Bonding.  It was such a cute little tradition … that I eventually screwed up by moving away.

   Fast forward a couple seasons later and the couple we Grey’s fanatics ASSUMED wouldn’t work out … are ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED!!! Holy. If you’re not a Grey’s fan, you pretty much need to grab the DVD’s, sit by yourself for a weekend, and get on board with the Seattle Grace family.  I can’t believe i’m about to say this …. but …. CLICK THIS LINK! It’s a WEDDING PROFILE that “Izzy” is doing on THEKNOT.com for Merideth and Derek. Ok, i’m officially a loser… but how cute is that?!

BTW – did you know you don’t have to type WWW before a website anymore? Who knew?! Not me. Everything is always changing. I can’t keep up!

TGI-Freakin-F! I’ve been wicked sick this week and i’m really looking forward to being able to take a long nap on Saturday afternoon. Those are the best kinds. Squeezed in between working in the morning, a hair appointment, and going out at night. I’m usually really confused when I wake up from those. I jump up, look at the time, and FREAK OUT because I have no idea where I’m supposed to be, what i’m late for, or where i’m going. It’s cool when you wake up and you realize you lived a day already and it’s not over, you get to go and live it until the sun comes up again. I woke up in the middle of the night last night with this terrible pressure-ish pain in both of my ears … now today … I can’t hear out of my right ear … i’m  guessing this is my sickness of the week running its course. Let’s hope.

Saturday night is the Lifetime Movie Premiere of The Natalee Holloway movie. I hate to say it like this, but i’m really excited about it.  I’ve been pretty much obsessed with her since she went missing years ago. I’ve followed the whole case really closely and I had a lot of theories about what actually happened the night she disappeared. I guess the movie is supposed to have details about the ordeal that never came out in the news. Things her family will reveal in the movie.  I’m so fascinated that in the year 2009, they can’t solve this poor girls disappearance. 

I’m considering staying home on a Saturday night just to watch it. My friends keep reminding me that it will be on 1,000 times and probably even the next day … we’ll see.

I was just reading the newspaper and came to the part where people can sell their junk … not really the classified … but this thing called “Betty’s Basement” or something. People post ads selling their STUFF … it’s usually cheap stuff that they are trying to get rid of for like $30. There were communion outfits, chairs, computer parts, bikes, jars, and then I saw TWO WORDS that totally took me back to the SIMPLE DAYS, the pleasure, the HAPPY days of my youth … POLLY POCKET!

I used to take those freakin things EVERYWHERE. When you’re a kid, going out to dinner is annoying. It’s not fun, you don’t look forward to it, and when you’re there, there is nothing to do. The grown-ups have “adult talk” and you’re just stuck there … an awkward looking 8 year old with nothing to do besides sip a Shirley Temple. Polly Pocket always rescued me from Shirley Temple-boredom overload. I was OBSESSED. I always called it “Playing Polly Pocket.” Whatever that means. It was a little world that fit into the palm of my hand. Polly and her friends lived inside. I’d put them to bed, make them get into fights, make up, break up, go to school, go to work, have boyfriends. For an 8 year old … I knew an AWFUL lot about DRAMA.

Thanks to whoever posted the ad. It totally took me back. Loves it.

Now kids only want things that need to be plugged in and charged. Polly better go electronic.

I had this EXACT one!

There’s this new movie coming out in May about a 22 year old girl who gets paid to pretty much be a high class call girl. $2,000 an hour to act like your girlfriend.  $2,000 an hour??! I must be in the wrong business. As OUT OF THE QUESTION this may be for most of us working “normal” jobs … i’m completely intrigued by the concept of this woman, her life, and what she gets paid to do. It’s sort of an unspoken thing that i’ve always had TONS of questions about … but never known anyone personally who did this to that extent.  The link below goes to the trailer for the movie.

Here’s what i’m wondering though. Doesn’t she feel SMALL when she goes home to her boyfriend? Does he know what she really does? Doesn’t that make him angry or jealous? Maybe she’s a really good actress and finds a way to trick herself into being ok with what she’s doing. I’m SO going to see this the day it’s out.

… $2,000 an hour to entertain a lonely man … wow

Feeling crappy today. Forgive me if my thoughts don’t connect.  I woke up sweating and I came to work in a hat, flip flops, jeans, and a tee … mind you … it’s cold out and kind of rainy.

Anywhoo … I rarely watch Dancing with the Stars, but nothing else was on while I was waiting for Jon and Kate Plus 8 to come back on. So I tuned in … and caught that cutie gymnast Shawn Johnson doing her dance … to an AWESOME arrangment of John Mayer’s ‘Dancing in a burning room … and wow. My attention was completely locked into her, the dance, the chemistry … little did I know, this chick is 17!!! She turned the MATURE on and rocked the samba … with her hottie partner. 

  Today, I woke up thinking about a class I took in my sophmore year of college. It was a class that basically analyzed current tv shows and why they work or don’t work, why they are on at the times they are, what kind of show makes for primetime tv, and at the end of the semester we had to write a script for a show and pitch it to one of the major networks. Dancing with the Stars had just come out and I was SO against it. I remember debating some know-it-all guy about it because I just thought it was the stupidest idea for a show. I still do. I actually WON the debate … WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THE SHOW WOULD STILL BE GOING STRONG YEARS LATER? I’m still not a fan, but last night … I sort of becamse HER biggest fan. The poor thing is missing her high school prom to be on the show. Hmm what’s cooler though … DWTS or the prom? I’ll go with being on tv dancing with professionals looking hot over drama filled prom any day!

I’m dying to see the new HANNAH MONTANA movie, but I’m thinking I need to bring a tiny person with me…

Anyone have a kid they want to let me borrow for a night? … maybe i’ll be a creep and post an ad on Craigslist “20-something year old female seeks the company of a YOUNG child to take to a movie … all the candy you can eat.” Yeah, that wouldn’t be creepy or anything. LOL

I had a pretty nice weekend, but I decided I have a new rule. The next time I see a cute guy – I’m not talking to him. The second they open their mouth – it’s over. Done-zo. It happened Friday night and Saturday night. I see a hottie, hottie makes eye contact, hottie approaches, hottie speaks, hottie is dumber than a box of rocks. So from now on … I’ll just let them remain eye candy. The mystery is way more exciting than the pay off of knowing the potentially awesome dude is actually …  dumb. Maybe dumb is harsh. Let’s go with socially awkward, uninspiring, and unexciting.

My lap top pretty died on me a week ago. When I turn it on, the screen stays black. So since I haven’t gotten around to getting it looked at … I’ve been a lazy blogger. I went home last weekend for a baby shower for one of my BEST friends from highschool, Christine’s baby shower. It was a nice weekend and it was really great to see family and friends. Now i’m back into the swing of things and i’ve been in RARE FORM lately. Hopefully I can regroup this weekend and do some CLOSET CLEANING – literally … and not …

I was reading this list of “The Kinds of People There Are” and then I found this fabulous list that a woman CLEARLY wrote … of the  15 kinds of men … it’s priceless … and so freakin’ true.

1. Guys who will do just about anything, but chop off their nuts, in order to screw without a condom.

2. Guys who consider their sneaker collection more valuable than family photos and cherished memories.

3. Guys who would never admit to loving “Real Housewives,” but totally do, especially NeNe, she’s the bomb!

4. Guys who always leave the toilet seat up and never put out a new roll of TP. (Like seriously … did you want me to use a FACE CLOTH??)

5. Guys who are so comfortable with their sexuality that they are totally down for a little anal play. Just don’t tell anyone.

6. Guys who hook up with women on the first date and then act like these same women are sluts for hooking up with them. (Ha – like every guy)

 7. Guys who think menstrual cramps aren’t really painful, but get sympathy pains when they watch a guy get kicked in the nuts on YouTube.

8. Guys that are always broke, because they’re chasing their next big cash in…which never comes.

9. Guys who want to marry their moms. (I know a few of these … pathetic)

10. Guys who consider themselves feminists because they never, ever pay for a date.

11. Guys who never, ever, ever call you again, even though, seriously, the date went f**king awesome.

12. Guys who don’t see the point of having a top sheet when the fitted sheet works just fine on its own.

13. Guys who don’t cry, except for when their favorite sports team loses the big game.

 14. Guys who don’t wear deodorant because they think their natural scent is manly.

15. Guys who seem really progressive and supportive of your goals and career, but then slowly start to reveal that they’re just looking for a June Cleaver to cook them dinner and make them babies.
