Best song ever!
This is on the music video DVD at American Eagle and I basically love it. The video makes the song for me. Hope you guys like it... it's a little... um... "out there". It's altogether awkward and even a little bit creepy. Enjoy!
P.S The song is called "Ready for the Floor" by Hot Chip

It's that time again!

Yep, it's time for The Bachelorette! The time when I get totally sucked into to someone's ludicrous quest for true love! Those of you who have been watching please comment your opinions!
So last night my absolute favorite went home, Ed. Poor guy! His boss was going to can him if he stayed. Sweet little "Jilly" was way worked up. Who wouldn't be? The guy was uh-mazing! But she was way hard on him. Like, "if you get another chance at true love don't let work get in the way." Wow, wow, wow! Hold the phone Canada Dry! There are still what, like 10 other guys still around! Many of whom she's been saying the same things too. "We have such a connection... blah, blah, blah." The guy would have a 1 in 8 shot at true love! Can't say I blame him with sticking with the sure thing. Who knows how many years he's put into his career. And let's get real, how often does the Bachelor/Bachelorette turn into something that "lasts forever"? 
For all you fellow Grey's lovers, does he look like Denny or what? Holy cow!
P.S so disappointed that she kept around King D.B Wes! Gag me! Did you notice the " I'm not here to promote my CD, but here I am again talking about my CD!" plug that he pulled during snowmobiling?! Ew, I dislike him strongly.
Doesn't he just have D.B written all over him? Sick.
P.P.S Jilly dear, please send Tanner home. He is a whiney tattle tail that is more focused on the other guys than you. And that nasty shiny black blazer he wears is DISGUSTING! Please Jill, you have much better taste than that I am sure!
My favorite part of last night was the sneak peek for next week's episode! Oh man if you didn't catch it, here it is!
Ahhhh!! Pig! Again, gag me and ew, I dislike him strongly!
This didn't show the preview that was on last night. Last nights, also showed a peek into the "fantasy suites" part of the season. Skank-opolis as I like to call it. I may be super naive but I always thought for sure these people aren't doing the dirty. Some serious hanky panky, sure. But the full on humpty dance? No way. They have to realize their little dream gal/guy is also having two other fantasy suite dates too. Surely people aren't that ridiculous. Oh but they are! Cause next week it would seem that someone can't ahem "perform" during their fantasy suite moment of triumph... gasp! Drama!
Anyways, that was a ridiculously long post about someone else's love life. I think I need to find a real job. This was a fairly negative blog and I like to end things on a positive note! How darling is Michael? Oh my gosh. Yes he's a bit "outlandish". But he's such a sweetheart and I love how into Jillian he is! What a keeper! Plus, hello! Break dance instructor? A guy that can move? Please.

So You Think You're Obsessed?
I love dancing! I am so sad that my parents didn't put me in dance lessons when I was younger. To get as good as these guys you have to have a lot of practice under your belt! I am going to sign up for a dance class this summer though so that should be fun. Anyways, back to the point. I love love love So You Think You Can Dance! Last week was the start of the Top 20 routines! I was blown away by this dance. It was incredible! I loved the girl's facial expressions! And this song is awesome too! Hope you like it as much as I did!

I hugged a tree, I hugged myself
Once I tried to recycle. I bought a little tupperware bin. I washed out our jars and broke down our cardboard boxes. The bin got full real fast. And then the floor around the bin got full real fast. And then my husband said if you don't take this to the recycling bin tonight I'm throwing it all in the trash tomorrow. Seems fair since the bin had been filling up for two weeks with no reprieve. So guess what happened. My recycling collection found its way to the dumpster. Don't judge me. The recycling dumpster thingy is like a whole parking lot over! It was winter and oh so cold for a walk! And that dang bin was just to dah small! It filled up like in a day! So we quickly returned to our previous tree killing, environment ruining, little critter home destroying state.
Until yesterday!
For the past year I have been noticing how much paper educational institutions waste. My nursing program has a full binder for each class (9 in all) and there are chuck full of one sided notes. Like I can't write my own I need them to copy 20 copies for everyone in the class. Seriously? So now that school is over I emptied the binders, removed staples, and even cut open the binders themselves to retrieve the cardboard in the cover! Yes! So much to recycle! It's summer now so that little walk to the other parking lot is far less daunting. I was so proud of myself!

Some people don't know when to quit!
As if the buzz was not enough.
Casey: "You know the only thing I've never done with my hair is bic it."
Karen: "Oh no. Sick."
Casey (at midnight mind you): "Lets go get a razor!"
About 20 min later...
To summarize, my husband looks like Edward Norton from American History X. I'm afraid he's gonna get shot. Don't worry too much though, the brotherhood will protect him. Sick sick sick. One thing I've learned about my husband is that he learns much better from his own mistakes rather than me telling him what to do. Hence the hair... or lack thereof. Thank goodness it will grow back in a week! He's giving Britney a run for her money!
