- I am beginning to really, really hate Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Not because of them personally, but because I cannot stand one more morning waking up to some DJ telling me some inane detail from a "source close to" them about their life. I so do not understand the obsession people have with the private doings of individuals with whom they are so wholly unconnected. Corollary: I am also fed up with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn, and the unholy cultural phenomenon of stupid mashed nicknames assigned to all of the above.
- I'm sorry, but if the several protests about immigration could be held at Library Square without disrupting traffic and closing roads for an entire Sunday, the gay pride people can do it too. And don't flip me off Man in the Crosswalk when I have to make a turn before you get all the way to the other side of the street because the light is yellow, there are 47 cars behind me and there was no advance warning about the closed roads.
- It should not be 97 degrees on the first Tuesday in June. 87 I could handle. But if it is reaching almost 100 in the first of June, one long, hot, miserable summer of smelling of sunscreen and hat hair is before me. Not. A. Fan.
- Shut up, Fox News. Specifically, but not limited to, John Gibson and Bill O'Reilly.
- Is it fangirly of me that I really want to buy Anderson Cooper's book Dispatches from the Edge despite having no money with which to do so?
- How sad is it that in my late 20's I'm fighting a losing battle against a sophomoric crush on a guy from church? Especially one who doesn't know my name and is at most only 2 inches taller than I, therefore incompatible with every pair of shoes in my closet, except the flip flops.
- Jane Austen novels are like crack. They get you all high on 'romance' and 'love' etc. and then you crash, hard, into reality, ie: see above.
Any thoughts? Or do I just need to stop wasting time and get back to the ugly, ugly world of past due invoices?

SO there for you on those Monday WOES!!! Every time I see a schmeared celebrity couple name, I want to barf! YUCK. But every girl needs a crush. It is what makes life so interesting, right?
*handing you a cool lemonade* Hope tomarrow brings a breeze and less protestor road shut-offs.
I love you for this. Thank you and Amen.
I bet he does know your name. And I second Panini's amen and mama darlin's comment. Who ISN'T sick of hearing those yucky nicknames? UGH!
Hey, Panini, how is life? I miss your blog since it made me feel we actually kept in touch!
Katie, it is 50/50 about the name knowing. I don't really particpate in ward activities and I always manage to have my worst 'Overslept and Rushed to Chruch' looking going when they take pics for the ward directory, so I'm kind of a ghost. But I have had a small conversation with him, so anything is possible.
Mama Darlin', thanks for the lemonade!
Ditto...and I did do the Lucky 7, btw.
:)...but I still feel connected because I'm still reading all of yours. I'm thinking about coming back...I even started answering the 7 things...but I think I'll wait til school gets out. see you tonight!
Yay, Panini! Esperanza and I were talking last night (I needed her opnion on a little gift for H) and we agreed that the blogs were the best for keeping in touch. I mean, I've had Mama Darlin's email for years, but we've only caught up/kept in touch with the blogs. We need to get all our friends on here. If I, the one technology hates, can manage a blog, anybody can! See you tonight.
Go for the guy! I don't think any of us will ever get over our jr. high type crushes....maybe when we are married finally?
