Blogging about blogging

I regularly leave my blog un-updated for longer periods of time that I would like when these things happen:

1. I have absolutely nothing to write about.
2. I have so much to write about, I don't know where to start, so I just don't.
3. What I want to write about should not be posted where everyone can read.
4. I have something super good to write about that I'd rather just think about it.
5. I have something super bad to write about and I'd rather just think about it.

Time is not an issue - I always make time to write if I really want to.

In this case:
1. Nope
2. A lot has been going on with a newer part of my life.
3. I met someone amazing :)
4. Did I mention I met someone amazing?
5. And I got in a ridiculous car accident this past Friday.

Moves like sea breeze

I can't stop thinking about how I'm feeling this way!

Ratatat or something like that

I'm having an amazing weekend :)

Just rinse and repeat

Well, we made it official yesterday and swapped our stuff back. It actually wasn't sad or awkward at all until I gave him his key back and started crying.

On a separate note, I just got my hair cut about 4 1/2 inches. I'm pretty happy with the bangs but the rest of the cut is just so-so. Can you believe I agreed to that? I can't remember having actual bangs since I had them cut straight across my forehead when I was little.

Jam packed, fun weekend to come! More details later.

I bought these babies today

Soooo dress? Check. Shoes? Check. Date? Nope. Still deciding if I'm going by myself or going to try to con a guy friend into going with me. If only I could buy those off Amazon also. Or I could just not go. Wait who am I kidding? This is going to be the night my shoes make their big debut. I can't rob them of that :-P The only thing is, I have what is apparently called toe cleavage. When I put the shoes on and saw my toe cleavage, I sort of freaked out that my toes had somehow grown abnormally large recently (I didn't have this problem with any other shoes). But I asked CE, who is much more with this stuff than I am, and I guess it's the new, somewhat popular style. I checked online, and sure enough. It's a hate it or love it kind of look but I love these shoes so I'll risk looking like I have freakishly long toes just to wear them.

On a separate note, my new computer toys came in at work today! You'd thinking being in IT, we're spoil ourselves by always having the latest equipment. Nope. It wasn't until recently did Claude tell me to go ahead and order Kristi and myself Dell Latitude D830 laptops! To order them in a certain price range, we had to make sure everything "upgradeable" was as low of a spec as possible. Then we can, as Claude said to me, "pimp it out". It has a 15.4" screen, Core 2 Duo (2.20 Ghz), 24x CD/DVD RW, and 256MB NVIDIA® Quadro NVS 140M graphics card. I already upgraded the RAM (it had 512 MB and I added 2GB) and plan on upgrading the hard drive from 60 GB to 80 GB or 160 GB. Hmm what else can I do to actually pimp it out so it looks nice? I also have a new 22" Dell widescreen monitor to go with it. Claude let me have his old monitor when he got a new one, which then got traded out for the 22" (the old one was a 20"). Definitely super geeked - ahhh!!

I've forgotten to mention! Props to Blogger for all these awesome new features ! By far, Blogger has got to be the best and most sophisticated blogging site I've ever worked with. I feel like I'm finding new features every week that make editing entries and the template easier and more customizable. The best is that I've been looking online for a long time for an HTML code that will simply allow readers to flip through entries that are older or newer rather than having to click on all the archive links.

A few things I'm really looking forward to:

CE's Swedish meatballs on Friday - CE and BGS and I have gotten into this swing of cooking together/for each other. I'm have to boast I'm pretty impressed at what I sort of did. CE decided we would make some sort of asian noodles with veggies and some sauce her roommate had. I used my exquisite taste (not really, haha, I was just hungry) to add some soy sauce and PB to make it a little more Thai. Then over the weekend, BGS made chicken and peppers grilled in Italian dressing with the rest of the noodles we didn't use from the Thai dish. I already have my plans for food laid out, but it looks like that won't be until after Friday.

Zoo Day on Saturday - like last year except this year it will be at Toledo and not Detroit, and there will be no plus one for me :(
