Congratulations!!!

A big hug and congratulations all around from ACGIK to my dear friend, Aaron, and his now-fiancee, Beth. Aaron proposed during a weekend getaway in Napa and he gave her what is seriously the most beautiful ring ever. Pop open the Veuve Clicquot! Cheers!!

Blog Friends

Why do I like blogging, you ask? Why do I like posting pictures of baked goods and crazy men on trains and writing about the awful movies that I watch and discussing my neuroses at length?

Because I totally dig the people – the other bloggers, the lurkers, the regulars. It’s pretty fantastic, really.

I mean, without blogging, I wouldn’t know that both Laura and Jennifer are totally preggers. And Janet is moving to Davis, which is pretty much my old stomping ground. And Aaron is a star photographer these days. And Heidi and Rachael are two of the coolest moms around. And The D gets amazing packages in the mail and never fails to make me giggle. And now I have a new bloggie friend, Erin, who is only, like a few hours away in Kansas City (which is waaaay cooler than Wichita, y’all. They have an Anthropologie and J. Crew).

Kind of like I tell everyone that I’m bringing the world together, one Pug at a time (sad, but true), perhaps the blogosphere is doing the same thing.

Cookies

I’d say they were a hit.

Hyperventilating

Thanks to my boredom this weekend, I jumped on the Facebook bandwagon.

And I found The Ex on there. You know… the one I moved to Kansas for? I haven’t heard from/talked to him since last May when we “graduated” from school. At that point, we had already been broken up for over a year.

And he is now MARRIED.

Truthfully, I couldn’t be happier for the guy. But it’s still kind of like a swift kick to the nuts (if I had nuts) for some reason. Yep, definitely took me a few seconds to remember that I’m supposed to breathe.

Another Desperate Plea

Veronica Mars has, in theory, been canceled. No “official” announcement has been released by the CW, but the show is not on the schedule for the new fall season. Instead, the search for the next Pussycat Doll has made the cut. I can’t even tell you how this breaks my heart, but whatevs. I’m trying to be strong.

Nonetheless, if you tune in TONIGHT to the CW and watch Veronica do her crime solving thing and maybe tell, oh, six million of your closest friends, there may still be hope. This episode was the opener for the past season, so it would be a good time to start watching and see what you’ve missed out on for the past three years.

All of the cool kids are doing it. Seriously. They are.

Memorial Day Weekend Boredom Bonanza

I’m bored. I’ve been bored for approximately 30 hours. Since the best friend moved away and then became the ex-best friend, I’ve had a bit more time on my hands than I used to. Don’t get me wrong – I like my alone time. I embrace it. But this is a lot of alone time and I’m Just. Plain. Bored.

Boredom can drive you to do crazy things.

Exhibit A: I watched Lindsay Lohan’s craptacular flop Just My Luck. And liked it.

Exhibit B: I cleaned my entire 1100 square foot apartment – top to bottom. I mopped. And dusted. Not just, like, picked up my shoes and organized the magazines on my coffee table.

Exhibit C: I finally picked up and started to read the new Conde Nast business magazine, Portfolio. It was kind of like the Vanity Fair of business mags – sorta meaty and fluffy all at once. Much more interesting than Forbes (of which I also have a subscription – odd, but true) and much less interesting than Us Weekly.

Exhibit D: I walked the Pug. And not just so that she could do a doodie. We actually went out into neighborhoods so she could doodie there. Don’t worry – I brought a baggie.

Exhibit E: I made chocolate chip cookies. And ate a lot of batter.

On the plus side, I had another date with The Crush on Saturday. It was lovely.

Friday Edition: Random Things in My Cubicle

I introduce to you my mini condiment collection, nabbed off of my room service trays or (admittedly) other people’s room service trays. My personal favorite – the mini Tobasco sauce. It’s sooo mini!!!

Why exactly I have accumulated mini condiments, I don’t know. And why I keep them in my cubicle, I have no idea. I’m rather organized and non-pack rat like at home, but at work, I tend to keep everything. Hence the mini condiments.
