Okay, so even my most loyal fans have stopped reading my posts My husband included. So I'm going to sign off for awhile. I'll come back when the mood strikes (maybe before the end of the summer, we'll see.)
Love ya!
Moi

So I JUST learned how to embed videos on my blog (last night). I'm so excited about it! So I'm going to post my favorite video just because I have nothing interesting to say but this clip makes me die of laughter... so mature, I know!

So this may come as a shock to you all, but when I was little, I LOVED Barbie.  In fact, (embarrassingly) I loved Barbie until I was about 11 years old.  So yeah, I still kind of played with Barbie in 6th grade.  I look back, and realize that's a little bit odd.  But it made me happy, so DON'T JUDGE!
Today, while I was reminiscing about all of the fun I had playing with Barbie, I decided to check out some old Barbie commercials.  I found the one below and it really took me back!  I loved my Peaches N Cream Barbie.  Such good memories....

On a side note (because I spent about 3 hours surfing youtube today) how many hours of your childhood were spent listening to this?

I ended up buying this one from bagborroworsteal.com.  I have to admit, I'm pretty happy with it.  It costs $350 (originally $600), and I'm returning the Chloe down below.

I have a new obsession.... Isabella Fiore bags.  The only problem is, the one I really really really want was released like three years ago.  So... it's kind of hard to find.  I found two on ebay.  The first one is selling from a girl in San Diego, CA for $150.  It's used, but it looks like it's in good shape.  The other is brand new and is selling for $450 from a "power seller".
Ok, so here's my issue.  I hate ebay.  I use it only as a last resort.  I've had such bad experiences on there.  Only 1 time out of 6 did I actually  LOVE what I got.  The other times I was so unhappy!  I guess I just don't trust people to sell me authentic stuff. 
So I told my husband I was going to buy the $150 one, and he thought that it looked really bummy and used.  I think it looks like it's in really good shape.  It's not stuffed with tissue paper like the $450 one, but other than that, I think it's great.  Theres a $300 difference between the two that I don't think is worth it.  Anyone have any opinions?

Have you ever felt betrayed by someone?  (No, it's not my husband).  I felt like I was betrayed recently by a friend.  And I know that this person didn't do it on purpose, and honestly if I was a mature person, it wouldn't bother me much at all.  But since we all know I'm very immature, it's given me a bit of a heartache that I hate. 
So I've indulged in retail therapy...

On sale at Nordstrom for $500 but soooo worth it.    I feel a little bit better already. 

Ok, so there's a whole new breed of the "teenybopper hottie" I'm exactly hip to them like I was when I was 16.  And in fact, I don't think most of them hold a candle to the guys who were the $hit back when I was younger.  But here's the best comparison I could do:

Round #1

---

Hot Boy Band
            
Jonas Brothers                                                 vs.                                    Backstreet Boys

To be quite honest, there was quite the discrepancy between Backstreet Boys and *Nsync when I was in high school.  I think Backstreet Boys were more talented, but *Nsync had personality and performace skills.  But for this purpose, I'm going to choose Backstreet as the ultimate 90s boy band. 
I don't know much about the Jonas Brothers, and I've only heard about three of their songs.  But I will admit they're talented.  But I will also admit they're just too darn young!  I mean, the oldest one is like 21.  I couldn't imagine having a die hard crush on anyone who was so close to my own age.  I do think the youngest one is the cutest (I know, shameful).  Almost as cute as Kevin was back in the day

Score
Old Heartthrobs: 1
New Heartthrobs: 0

Round #2

---

Hot Teen Movie Star
   
Robert Pattison                                            vs.                                        Freddie Prinze Jr.

No question, Robert is much cuter.  I never thought much of Freddie, in fact, I think he's pretty goofy looking.  I will admit, I did enjoy a few of his films, "She's All That" and "Head Over Heels".  I will also admit Robert's movies seems much better.  I mean, those "Twilight" movies are going to be HUGE!  I don't think any of Freddie's movies were that good.  I will admit that Robert is an acquired taste.  He's probably a little too european for most people's taste.  But between the two, Roberts is miles ahead of Freddie.

Score
Old Heartthrobs: 1
New Heartthrobs: 1

Round #3

---

Hot TV Star
                                                    
Chace Crawford                                           vs.                                Joshua Jackson

I'm going to have to defer on looks alone for this one.  I have no idea what kind of actor Chace Crawford is because I've never watched an episode of "Gossip Girls".  So based on looks, Chace wins.  Pacey had way too much baby fat back in the day.  Nowadays, he's doing pretty good.  I love him on "Fringe".  But back in the days of living on the Cape, he was just a wannabe player beach bum from a broken home. 
I hear that Chace is going to be playing the lead in the remake of "Footloose"  That should be interesting.  Hopefully he's a better dancer than Kevin Bacon!

Score:
Old Heartthrobs: 1
New Heartthrobs: 2

Round #4

---

Hot Overall Celebrity
                                  
Zac Efron                                                         vs.                                  Leonardo DiCaprio

Ok, I think we all know where this is going.  I will admit that Zac has his moments, but Leo is untouchable (at least in my mind).  He's a classic movie star!   I would be surprised if
1. Zac has his staying power
2. Zac develops his talent (several Oscar nominations!? maybe for High School Musical 11)
3. Manages to move to serious movies without alienating himself
Hands down, Leo wins!

Score:
Old Heartthobs: 2
New Heartthrobs: 2

So it looks like it's a tie.  I'm going to think overnight about a tie breaker category, to see if I can get this settled once and for all!!  Can anyone suggest a final category tie breaker and nominate some contenders?

So yesterday morning I woke up with my sinuses feeling funny.  Today, my knee hurts extra (it has been hurting for three years, but today it REALLY hurt).  Plus, I was hot all day, even though it was only in the 60s outside.  I think it's definitely something bad:
-achy joint (knee)
- stuffiness (my sinuses feel like I've had 10 glasses of wine)
- overheated
Too bad I already called out sick one day last week. 

On a more positive note, this past weekend my dad and I built a hutch for my desk (and when I say "my dad and I" what I really mean is, my dad built it in 90 degree weather outside while I watched from a window inside with the a.c.).  I think it looks nice.  Plus Bri and I got a filing cabinet.  So I officially have a work space in our little home.  No more "working" in front of the TV in the living room.  Don't worry, I'm not completely OOL ("out of luck" for those of you NOT in the know....)  Take a look below.

Yes, I really do have three computers (two for work, one personal), and there's a bonus one in the corner that you can't see that doesn't work anymore.

And just because I'm in a giving mood:

THE CUTEST LITTLE BOYS ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET THAT EVER LIVED!!

I am practically blind.  My vision is so bad, my husband has a hard time believing it sometimes.  Even when I'm wearing glasses/contacts, my husband's vision is so much better than mine that I don't blame him for thinking I'm faking.  I haven't been able to see for as long as I can remember.  There's nothing that would make me happier than to wake up in the morning and be able to see clearly.  I can't even imagine it.  Plus, wearing contacts is TIRING!  They're a pain in the butt!  But at the same time, I'm too chicken to get laser eye surgery. 

On the other hand, my other senses are really really good.  That's good and bad news I guess.  Because sometimes the taste of nasty food almost makes me want to throw up.  For example, two weeks ago, my neighbor invited me over to taste some black caviar.  I took one bite, and that was all I could stomach.  I kept thinking about little teeny tiny fish eggs.  It was enough to turn my stomach.  It tasted like very salty sea water and little bumps.  Luckily, she wasn't offended that I couldn't eat any more.

I can hear EVERYTHING.  I can hear the faint base of my downstairs neighbor when he's playing rap music two rooms away.  I know he doesn't listen to it loudly, because even when Brian is standing right above the room the music is being played in, he can't hear it at all.  He can faintly feel the base in the floor, but only when he thinks about it.  But I can hear it so clearly, I can even tell what song he's playing (mostly Kanye West on repeat).  I can pick out a song in a restaurant with no problem.  Most people don't even notice restaurants play music.

I can smell cigarette smoke a mile away.  That's why I'm ecstatic that FINALLY in December there will be a smoking ban in restaurants.  I won't miss smelling that nasty smell.  I HATE cigarette smoke so much, I give people the stink eye if they light up within 50 feet of me.

I don't think my sense of touch is especially sensitive, but I don't think that's as easy to measure against other people.

So in short, even though I can't see worth a damn, at least I can hear you if you're talking about me behind my back

This morning Brad Pitt was on the Today Show talking about his new movie coming out.  Something directed by Quentin Tarantino (which means it will be weird and very bloody).  I never got the super hotness vibe from him like so many women seem to get.  I remember in high school Allison would always rave about him, but I just never saw him as the sexiest man ever.  Even Brian would talk about how great he was (in a stricly hetero way of course).  But I will admit, he looked pretty good in "Troy". 
And as for his "partner".... I know everyone thinks she's hot, but I would never want to date her if I was a guy.  You know this bitch must ALWAYS be serious! 

NO JOKES ALLOWED!
