I just ordered my laptop.  The next time I update this site, it will be with my bad ass Sony Vaio laptop. You can’t see me, but I am drooling right now.

Friday did not go so well.  I lost my credit card, so the day of beauty never happened.  Cirque du Soleil was awesome.  They had these girls that could not have been 13 years old with their bodies contortioned in some wacky positions.  My bones ached just looking at them.   Dinner at Marrakesh in DC was delish. We got a seven course meal and they had a belly dancer that was cool.  Sunday was uneventful, except that I did find my credit card under a stack of bills I was planning on paying. Go figure.  I did make some chicken with pineapple and corn salsa. That was excellent.

I made some pork chops with an apple and brandy sauce last night.  It was okay, I mean the chops were great, but I guess I would rather drink the liquor than cook with it.  I got my braces tightened, so it hurts to eat.  Note to self – don’t eat Fritos two days after getting braces tightened.  It’s nothing a little beer can’t handle.  I received my first birthday card this year from Laura.  She is a sweetie. People, just a reminder, my b-day is this Saturday.  Gifts will be greatly appreciated.

Friday’s happy hour was cool. I only spent $6 bucks and that included a tip.  I drank and danced my ass off on Saturday with my friends from Delaware.  I love bumping into guys that dump you after 2 weeks.  They always ask for my number over and over again.  Why would you want my phone number if you couldn’t stand me for two weeks?  It just boggles the mind. This one asked for permission to look at my web site.  Maybe he was expecting naked pictures.   I really hope he is reading this now.

I am still biting my nails over this election thing. I am at the point now that I just don’t want to hear one more thing about it. Just tell me who won for goodness sakes. I have yet another happy hour party to attend today. Which reminds me, in a little over a week, I will be one year older, but sooooo not wiser. I still have not figured out what to do for my birthday. I don’t have a fabulous date, so, I’m not expecting flowers or to get laid. Pitiful. Anyway, my friend Laura sent me an e-card about Scorpios. Here it is:

You are strong-willed and energetic with an exceptionally high tolerance for hard work. No matter what the stakes or how difficult the obstacles, you never give up until you have seen a problem through. You are honest in all relationships and when it comes to those you love you are both loyal and possessive. You are noted for your faithfulness and honesty but what is perhaps most admired about you is your remarkable ability to concentrate. Although you have a tendency to become obstinate or headstrong at times, if you temper these characteristics with compassion they will enable you to become a skilled and fair leader. Scorpios make excellent scientists and often achieve success as surgeons or in the research and laboratory fields. They are also artistically and musically inclined, with a sincere appreciation for the arts and literature.

This is all sad but true.

You will be very proud of me.  I voted today!  I was exercising my right to vote.  You should too. Even if you are a Republican. Uh-oh, I used the “R” word.  I am planning on updating this site to Flash.  If you have any suggestions, or know of any good tutorials, email me. I have submitted my paperwork for my laptop through work.  Soon I will be updating this site with a sweet Sony Vaio.

I finally figured out why my smoke alarm would always go off when I baked something.  There was some drippings or sauce of some sort way in the back of the oven that was burned to a crisp. Some of it was on the broiler also.  Yes, I had nothing better to do this weekend than to clean my oven.  Man, am I lame.  The only good thing to come out of it was some kick ass baked italian chicken.  Very tasty.  I will bake cookies soon.

Everyone is concerned for my well-being. I think I will be okay.  I’ve been better. Last week I was way better, and now, I am just functioning.  It’s painful not to be able to talk to someone when they are halfway across the country.  I am talking about my friend Laura.  She is one of the few people who can actually make me feel better.  It will be very hard to sleep tonight.  You get used to another person’s warmth and their snoring makes them cute.  I really miss the bed head comments from Mr. UPS.
