Watching Project Runway right now. Love this show. I don't like the big tall weird looking guy. I'm hoping he goes tonight...but let's talk about the best show.
Nip/Tuck
Unbelievable. That show never ceases to amaze me. Bravo to the 2-hour finale. The only thing I don't like about the finale....is that it's over.
(Shit. Daniel Franco is "out." Oh well...I suppose the weird guy will create more drama.)
Tomorrow is the last day of school before Christmas break. Half-day. Yes! I'm so looking forward to it since coaching has taken my ability to take a mental health day here and there. I'm looking foward to reading, working out and getting my body waaaaay back into shape. Yuk, I feel so gross.
I'm also going to make some serious New Year's resolutions. I know everyone thinks they are dumb, but I usually keep them ('cept the whole workout thing...that will be the one I will FORCE myself to keep this year.)
Past resolutions I've kept.....
1. Not taking "revenge" on people who piss me off.
2. Finish a NY Times crossword on my own (so it took me 2 weeks...I still did it.)
3. Read a book a month.
4. Keep in better touch with people. (I'm not totally satisified I did it, but I tried my best.)
5. Writing people off that drag me down. (That one felt pretty liberating.)
6. Make the best of my job/living situation. (I'm pretty happy this year...still wanting to move.)
Not sure what my resolutions will be this year. Anyone making any? (Maybe get a boyfriend??? ha!)
Alright....I need to be out the door by 5:40 AM tomorrow...UGH.

Only in Fayette Co.
Friday:
I will not drunk dial, I will not drunk dial. Enough said.
Saturday:
After practice and a well deserved 3 hour nap, I still continued to take it pretty easy. Went to see Walk the Line. Excellent. Joaquin Phoenix was really great (and super hot.) Oh and I was thinking a couple of things when I was watching it does Joaquin Phoenix have a cleft palate scar? (No, because I looked it up.) Does he have a weird shoulder or did Johnny Cash and he's portraying him that way? (Haven't found out that answer.) And then Reese...Reese Witherspoon...I just think she's so cute! Though, I think she had some botox in between her eyebrows. She normally has great character lines and expressions when she speaks and that center part juuuuusttt didn't move.
I think she played her part really well. And, great vocals from both of them. I just burned my dad's Essential Johnny Cash cd's. The story was sad. In a good way, though. Great love story which got me thinking....but before I get to that....
1. In the theater there was an older couple (40's 50's?) Anyway...they were completely making out. How do I know? I HEARD them. Gross. Sounded like the guy was getting a handjob or something. I turned around at one point and made a few loud comments.."Oh my God. Are you fucking kidding me? Get a fucking room. Gross." You think that would have done it, but they continued. Not quite as loudly. Had they been, I would have pulled teacher voice on them. No doubt they were having an affair as my friend noticed they hadn't come in together. Only in Fayette Co.
2. Headed to Eat'n Park later to quench my thirst from the previous night. Who waits on us? The biggest drag queen I've ever seen. I don't know what it is about drag queens, but I love 'em.
Only in Fayette Co.
Back to the love story thing. I think I'm starting to miss being in love. For a while I was kind of indifferent to the whole dating thing. I don't know if it's the holidays, my hectic schedule or the alignment of the stars (any comment fellow cancers?) but I've been getting that feeling that I'm missing something. Also the fact that the 4 year mark of being alone is looming. However, I worry about two things by wanting to head full force into the dating world. Will he want to move out of this blackhole of a county and have I been alone too long--hence, not being able to compromise my life for someone?
Other than that and wishing for world peace, I'm trying to get ready for Christmas. I still have a little bit of shopping to do. Not too much. I'm looking forward to taking some well deserved naps over break. I'm also getting a list of New Year's resolutions. The one I really kept last year was reading a book a month. That doesn't sound like a lot, but during the school year it's hard to keep up. I'd rather do brainless stuff like watch TV.
Nip/Tuck finale is on Tuesday. God, I love that show. Pretty sure I'm going to have to tape it. Yes, I STILL have the VCR, not DVR.
Ordered my digital camera. I ended up going with the Canon SD450. I can't wait to get it.
I'm looking forward to going to the movies a lot over the Christmas break. I'd like to see HP4 again. Brokeback Mountain (though I'm worried it won't even come to Pittsburgh...hopefully this week.) Memoirs of a Geisha, The Ringer, Munich, The Family Stone, Rumor Has It, and even The Producers. Let's hope that they all at least make it to Pittsburgh.
3 1/2 days left until Christmas break!! Yeah!!!!

Short Quips
Lazy. That's what I've been about blogging. But enough about my reasons and my catching up on what I've been doing. This isn't an itinerary...for the most part.
I did some shopping today. The first really this season. I'm not usually this far behind with Christmas shopping, but this year I can't seem to get into the spirit. One thing that drives me crazy about mall parking lots--I HATE when people go the wrong way in the aisle. How freakin' hard is it to read the arrows? Look at the way the cars are putting? I saw this woman today go down the wrong way to get into a handicapped space. Now these spaces are obviously close to the entrance making it even more difficult to cut the turn to get into the space correctly. THEN she drives through the two (narrowly) spaced HC signs to the other space which now makes her pointing out of the space yet STILL in the wrong direction. Fucking women drivers (ha! that was for the men who read this...heh.)
The clerk who checked me out today smelled like onions. BO maybe? Or hoagie onions --which is not much of a difference. Yet, she was wearing a wedding band. Not that I want to get married, but Jesus. She smelled like fucking onions and some guy found her. Note to self: buy onions.
2-hour delay tomorrow. That's why I love teaching.
My sister and her man broke up right before Thanksgiving. Long story, but in the end it definitely was for the best. So I asked my mom the other day while decorating "Did she buy him a stocking last year?" Mom couldn't remember. I'll venture to say yes. Why you ask? Because I'm a firm believer in when you buy a stocking for a boy you're dating...it's the kiss of death. Everytime I've purchased a stocking for a boyfriend, he never made it to the next Christmas (sometimes that particular Christmas.)
I swam yesterday with my team. Just at the end and then a little with a few that decided to stay late. In my effort to not "look slow" and appear to be out of shaper (yes I have a warped sense of what I look like) I hauled ass in the pool. Yeah. I'm old...because I can hardly move.
Funny fall of the week....down the bus steps. Huge bruise on my arm and a really sore back. Ouch, but typical. I'm actually surprised I haven't broken anything at this point in my life. I think because I expect to fall, I don't worry about it too much--therefore not hurting myself too badly. Shit I feel like I just wrote a theorm for geometry class. What was that little three dot triangle thing again?
Dropped my phone. UGH! I'm so pissed. I have 3 months until my plan is up. I have insurance but I'm being cheap and not wanting to spend the $50 to get a new one. The screen no longer lights up so I need to be near a light to see who I'm dialing. Texting is a bitch. Why do you pay $5 a month for insurance and then you have to pay $50 to get a phone? Hello?? I pay the insurance?
I know I'll end up getting a phone tomorrow. Fuck.
I'm not even really excited about New Year's this year. I don't know what it is. I'm looking forward to hanging out with friends, but not to the whole hooplah of going out. Buying a new outfit (some variation of black sweater and jeans I'm sure.) Maybe something crazy will happen this year.
I think that's all on this post. I have some more.

No Time at All
It's not that I've been lazy about posting, it's just that I've been extremely busy. And, my computer time has been spent researching digital cameras. Ugh, the bargain hunt. Sometimes I have such an obsession with getting the best price that I end up procrastinating the purchase. I don't know much about digital cameras to begin with so I'm worried that I'm not getting the right one for me. I've pretty much decided on the Canon SD 450. Anyway...
I've also been at the grocery store and cooking all week. Heading away for the weekend to Deep Creek. I volunteered to get the food (for 16-18 people mind you.) It's been a big challenge, but actually pretty fun. I'm just about finished with all the prep work. Goal was to get everything ready so that all we have to do is heat things up. I won't bore you with the list of things that I made, but I'll give you the brief with 4 gallons of chili, 40 cupcake sized cheesecakes, etc. A lot, but I've done it. (How do you IronChef?)
Fighting off a cold and I have a feeling I'm going to get it this weekend. I hope not. As long as I'm okay to get my massage on Saturday morning, I don't mind.
I would love to get into a major post, but it's 12:26 and I need to get up by 6. Hopefully, because I'll be done with all the prep and packing tomorrow, I'll get to the post I want to.
I smell a snow day on Friday....I'm hoping for only a 2-hour delay. Ah, I love winter.
