bye bye gift cards

it sure didn't take that long to either SPEND or ALMOST SPEND our gift cards to:

• Macy's (empty... and now i own new lovely, lovely earrings)
• Home Depot (1/2 gone...i dunno what the heck you buy at home depot...but it sure made randy happy)
• Linens & Things (1/2 gone...i bought randy a 5 gallon boil kettle for his brew kit & 2 new cookie sheets for myself)
• Borders (3/4 gone...randy bought me some books)
• Starbucks (didn't touch any of them...and I got 3!!! I'm saving them for when I go back to work next Wed for my $5.05 mint mocha lite no whip frappachino)

SuperBad

Derek got this movie as a holiday present from Neil, and sitting across from the table of the two I heard them say something along the lines of THIS MOVIE IS THE GREATEST. Ok, that was enough for me - I had to see it (although I had no interest to see it in the theatre since I went from tears of laughter streaming down my face from 40 YR OLD VIRGIN to being kinda disappointed with KNOCKED UP. Anyway. last night randy & I popped it into the dvr & after 10 minutes of d$ck, d$ck, d$ck, c*ck, c*ck, c*ck, d$ck...I got frustrated & turned it off. My orig review of this movie is that it was SUPERBAD, and not in a good way - I mean...

...do guys REALLY talk like that?

Come on!!!

Then Derek told me again, YES - that is how 17 y/o's talk. No way! Yes Way! No Way! Yes Way! Really? Really. Hmmmmmmm. So, this evening I gave it a second chance. I'm glad I did - toooooooooooooo funny (that is once you get passed the first 15 minutes of c,c,c,d,d,d,c,c,d)

Oh, here is something else I just found out (from checking out the imdb website): YOUTH IN REVOLT is definitely in the works....and no other then Michael Cera is playing Nick Twisp!!!! I can't wait - it is being directed by the guy who wrote CHARLIE BARTLETT. I remember the director mentioned it at the Q&A about being a project he wanted to do, but he didn't confirm back then that it was an absolute done deal (oh - see CHARLIE BARTLETT - trust me, this is another damn funny movie that I recommend). I wish I thought first about marketing schoolyard fights - I would have made a FORTUNE marketing to the guidos how they kicked the rockers a$$, and would have marketed to the rockers the same vhs tape (remember - this is going back to the 80's) the same tape with a bit of 420 (LOL).

this week is flying by

first off - I got a good haul in the present dept this year...lots of gift cards to places I'll shop at....like:

• Borders
• Starbucks
• Bath & Body Works
• Linens & Things
• Macy's
• Cheesecake Factory

and then I got stuff I wanted, like: audio books, fuzzy slippers, toaster over (yes, I WANTED ONE), nick twisp books, etc. I hope randy really liked his present from me - I got him a complete brewing kit from http://www.midwestsupplies.com/. Now I just got to save up 54 empty bottles & we are ready to begin.

I've been off work now since last thursday & don't have to go back until after the new year...so what to do during this 12 day vacation? I dunno really. So far, the only major "outings" were 1) Saturday night when we all went to Ruth Chris Steakhouse to celebrate my parents anniversary & 2) seeing I AM LEGEND on Sunday night (no one told me that this was a zombie movie!!!!!)
I don't count last minute shopping (which somehow I still wound up doing - bought the eggnog at 4pm Monday afternoon) as an outing.

Okay, so now I'm off to the mall to spend some gift cards. Derek is gonna use his Sports Authority card & Randy is gonna use his Barnes & Noble & Home Depot card. I think I might have enough to come home with something shiny!!!!

drum roll please to the WH'r who knows this is for her......

final package is in transit - I hope you enjoy it!!!

ok, maybe i had a bit too much to drink tonight...but I just wanted to say I loved being your SecretSanta Renee!! Time to get some sleep {{zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz}} - michelmoba

Indiana is coming to town

whoooo-hoooo....btwn xmas & new years Ms K and her gang are coming to town. I cant wait! Orig the whole family was gonna camp out in my living room (which would have been fun), but sherri found them an apt to stay at by her. Will post pics once they get here - I cant wait to see how big the boys are now. Last time i saw Max he was under 2 y/o!

when small towns rule the world

get this for small town law.....because there is only one supermarket in my town (which closes by 11pm nightly), the CVS refuses to sell any "grocery items" during 11pm-8am. Don't beleive me that I can't buy a bottle of pepsi at my 24 hr CVS?

Check this out:
