[it's getting hot in here...]

Did I ever tell you guys that "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner is "our" song. Yeah, it's kind of a joke, but it's kinda serious, too. I guess the joke aspect comes from the fact that most couples have a song that's romantic and uses beautiful poetic words, but that just shows that we are not your conventional couple. Plus, it's FOREIGNER. 'Nuff said. Shout out to all my peeps who are reading this and singing along...you know who you are.

Hot Blooded

Well, Im hot blooded, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
Im hot blooded, Im hot blooded

You dont have to read my mind, to know what I have in mind
Honey you oughta know
Now you move so fine, let me lay it on the line
I wanna know what youre doin after the show

Now its up to you, we can make a secret rendezvous
Just me and you, Ill show you lovin like you never knew
Thats why, Im hot blooded, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
Im hot blooded, hot blooded

If it feels alright, maybe you can stay all night
Shall I leave you my key?
But youve got to give me a sign, come on girl, some kind of sign
Tell me, are you hot mama?
You sure look that way to me

Are you old enough?
Will you be ready when I call you bluff?
Is my timing right?
Did you save your love for me tonight?

Yeah Im hot blooded, check it and see
Feel the fever burning inside of me
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
Im hot blooded, Im hot blooded.

I love you, baby!

"Life should be a little nuts sometimes, otherwise it's just a bunch of Thursdays strung together."

(Kevin Costner as Bo Burrows, Rumor Has It)

Although, now that I leave work early for my 1:00 mosaics course on Thursdays, I think I disagree... Perhaps a bunch of Tuesdays strung together?

Praise be to art classes.














P.S. He's still a stud.

[i think you're gross]

Following an engaging conversation with tracie about retarded employees, I am inspired to deliver to you a list of things I strongly dislike (aka: hate). Here you go!

1) Servers who ask the same stupid questions over and over and over again like 'where is the coffee?' ...are you f*cking kidding me? This is a f*cking coffee shop! LOOK AROUND!

2) The Office Box. Human beings were not meant to sit in small concrete boxes with a desk and a computer screen for 8 hours a day without windows that open. Fresh air required for life. Duh.

3) Servers who wear black open-heeled shoes with NO SOCKS to a restaurant. In fact, NO SOCKS should be its own listing. There are few times when no socks are allowed, and those times are typically accompanied by sweet little slip-on summery shoes. Pick up a Vogue, dammit.

4) People who walk around without shoes on...especially in Washington DC (yes, I've seen this. It's like, hey, I feel like walking around a filthy city sidewalk where people spit and spill stuff and tread dirt and germs) and even worse, when people walk around in dirt without shoes on. Give. Me. A. Break. That's. SO. Gross.

5) Servers who eat bread pieces that have been sitting around for hours and, even worse, when they take said bread and place it on a counter top where money and god knows what else has been placed. Then they eat it. Are you people trying to kill me?

...and last, but not least....

6) Servers who bus their tables and hang on to leftover pizzas to eat as their own dinner. I'm sorry, you say you missed what I just said? Let me reiterate: Server cleans table top after guest leaves. Server picks up pizza tray with remaining slices picked over and unwanted by customer. Server glares longingly at said pizza. Server makes the conscious decision to take pizza behind counter and eat it. Server actually has the nerve to offer Kristen a piece, after which Kristen says:

I'm pretty sure we don't have a policy on eating other people's leftovers, however I'm going to decline due to high grossed out factor. But, um, uh, yeah, thanks, tho.

[i wanna feel the heat...]

[a party themed is a party earned]

Do you ever feel like something is missing from your life? Is there an unquenchable yearning that you can quite pinpoint? Well don't be concerned, because I have it too. Today I've realized something. I know what's missing. I have found the source of all this irritability, confusion and lack of overall happiness. These three words are what's missing:

The. Theme. Party.

That's right. The second you read those words, you, too, smacked your forehead in shock and disbelief that you did not, in fact, realize this simple explanation first. I beat you, but do not worry, for there is something we can do about it. Something we can ALL do about it. We can join together and alas, bring together these great minds and formulate the arrival to the greatest of happiness. We can plan THE THEME PARTY together... and save lives.

In honor of this new period of enlightenment, I have compiled a list of possible theme parties for all to chew on while deciding on the date of said get together. NOTE: I understand that feelings of joy will overwhelm you and leave you wondering how you will possibly choose one of these themes, or worse, conjur up your own. However, please DO NOT PANIC. We shall reach paradise as a group, a social network of eager themers.

Enjoy!

1. Don Henley Cocktail Hour - we will make tequila sunrises and enjoy Don Henley inspired conversation and dancing, of course.
2. A 'the 90's rocked my world' Party - in which we will drink cheap vodka and orange juice (or soda) as done in the early days of 'no one has a fake'. And of course, we'll be rockin' out to some oldies but goodies ala Brandy and The Offspring.
3. A Whitney Houston Crack is Whack Slammer - where we will shake it like it's 1989 all the while singing to such hits as 'I wanna dance with somebody' and 'Saving all my love for you'. Hair crimping, optional.
4. Your Basic Potluck Party (with a twist) - where everyone brings a theme food or dessert and we gorge 'til there ain't no more room. The twist is, we drink. Holla!
5. A Jimmy Buffett Paradise Party - Margaritas (frozen!!!) with lots of limes and tequila and tropical music. We may not live in Aruba or Bermuda or Key West, but we sure can party like we do!

Well folks, that's it from my creative reservoir at the moment. But, please - I urge each and every one of you to post a comment on this site with one idea...it can be anything. It could be as simple as a get together with cheap beers and a deck of Uno cards. Seriously. This is going to revolutionize our social networking.

NOTE: Thanks be to Geelite, who inspired this post with her Don Henley comments.

[legging you on]

This weekend I bought leggings. That's right. The kind you wear under skirts. The kind that are tight right down to your ankles. The kind you can wear under anything and feel completely cool in. I know what you're thinking. All I can say is that I've seen one too many Lindsay Lohan photos and am completely obsessed with the legging. Besides, they're perfect for the sub-arctic workplace temperature I deal with daily...

So - in honor of the fashionable and often times hated legging, I present:





















You have no idea how much I love this look!
