The CSI trilogy starts tonight.

The CSI trilogy starts tonight. I wonder if it's going to suck as much as Lawrence Fishburn's acting sucks on CSI.

I love how there is

I love how there is an investigative report om KCP&L tonight and a commercial on the same channel stating how great they are...

28 Days Later.

Unemployment Day 28

That seems like a long time. 28 Days. I feel like I have accomplished very little. Except sleeping. And movie/dvd watching.

I still need to finish the wreath. Basically, yesterday was my day of being an absolute sloth. It was quite sad. Oh well. It's a new day!

The weekend with Fe was pretty fun. She came in about 8:45 pm on Friday night. I made our favorite bread bowl cheesy dip and fried ravioli and we sipped on cranberry/pomegranate champagne drinks while we spent 3 hours watching the barely 2 hour long movie, Twilight. I admit that we did enjoy it, although we completely made fun of the teenager-ish-ness of it. I'm sure I'll read the books now. I'm such a sucker.

Saturday we had lunch at Kona Grill. We had their chicken and shrimp lettuce wraps and I had California rolls while Fe ordered Las Vegas rolls. Both were awesome. Near the end of our meal, Colleen and Matt showed up. They would have been earlier but Colleen accidentally locked her house keys and car keys in the scooter seat and had to stop by her house to get an extra set. Sounds like something I would do! We left them to enjoy their yummy lunch (Happy Hour begins at 1 pm on Saturdays at Kona!) and we went to get dressed for the wedding.

The wedding was in Unity Village. Kind of a strange place but the wedding was very nice. The reception was in one of the meeting rooms at Harrah's. It was really nice. They had a cocktail hour with an open bar and a handful of yummy appetizers. Then, the bride and groom came in and cut their cake and had their first dance. Then a buffet style dinner. They had a fresh salad, pasta salad, freshly sauteed veggies, green been casserole, lightly breaded lemony chicken breasts and roast beef in a mushroom sauce. It was FANTASTIC! The cake was a double layer red velvet with a chocolate ganache middle and a true butter cream frosting (no shortening!). It was to die for! Way to go Jennifer on a beautiful and fun party.

Her fiance/husband was a football player at NW Mo so there was plenty of single eye candy around. However, they kind of kept to a huddle so I was scared to approach. At least it was nice to look at such hot and tall boys. Yum.

We took a cab home, called through the concierge/bell boy in the hotel lobby. It turned out to be a Lincoln Towncar limo so we rode home in style! It was $28 for 23 miles...not too bad! And very pleasant and not at all stinky like a cab! I have his number for future rides.

Sunday we got up late and went to breakfast/brunch at Mama's Diner near my place. They have 66 omelets on their menu! I got a philly cheese steak omelet with crispy fried potatoes and 2 slices of wheat bread. It was fantastic! So good!

Then we went to the Dillards Clearance Center at Ward Parkway Center. Fe ended up buying 5 dresses and a pair of shoes for $144! Sweet deal! Plus, all the dresses were Antonio Melani so they were normally around $180 original price!

After Fe left, I didn't do much. I guess I had better get caught up in life the rest of this week!

Dad's surgery has been changed to next Monday so I'm going to spend a few days with Venus down at Mom's before I drive Dad to Columbia for his surgery. I'll stay with Fe and Gus a few days and then drive Dad back home. I guess sometimes being unemployed DOES have its perks!

Tomorrow I had better drop by the MO Career Center. It's been 4 weeks since I got laid off. Woo.

I gotta get my lazy ass in gear.

Alright, going to go ruin my adulthood by reading teen books. Wish me luck!

Can't sleep. Shouldn't have taken

Can't sleep.

Shouldn't have taken that nap today. Am going to drink some sleepytime tea and see if that helps.

Unemployment Day 25

Why hello there!

Yesterday was my day of running around spending money on Christmas crap. I decided to get a (super early) start on my Christmas projects. I have time and why not? All the Christmas crap at Hobby Lobby was 50% off so I indulged in some interesting items. I will reveal all in a matter of time (i.e. when I am done with current project). Here's a hint what I'm working on...there are owls made of felt on it and it hangs on a door.

Here are the new friends I made... 

I still have to sew them together (I didn't have the right color embroidery thread) and stuff them. I need to name them too! And take a better picture. (I got the idea from a girl on Etsy...more about her work later.)

So I worked on that most of the evening when I got home yesterday. I should have ran...I'm feeling quite rotund. I will be running this afternoon at least!

I also got a haircut yesterday! No more she mullet! I can't tell you how great my neck feels without any hair tickling it! I hate hair on my neck. Yeck.

This morning I dyed my hair a lovely dark brown. Of course, it will probably turn back to red in a couple of days. It always seems to do that. Stupid hair.

Fe comes in early this evening for a coworker's wedding I will be attending with her. It should be fun. We're meeting Colleen for lunch on the Plaza tomorrow before the wedding. I'm going to make Farrah work tonight by helping me decide where my wall decor should go. Woo! Fun times!

I am wanting to make a post about all the cool things I want in life but I guess I'll do that next week. I need to find something to wear to the wedding and will therefore have little time to write a massive post (things I want) today. Oh I assure you...I dream big. And kind of weird.

So I am going to call it a day and go search for something appropriate to wear to a wedding with a reception at a casino. Sweet.

Ciao.

Oh.

Happy Birthday Christie!!!

Yay! I have a haircut

I love watching CSI: NY

I love watching CSI: NY because of the sweet shots of the Chrysler Building.

Just did my 3 dirty

Just did my 3 dirty dishes in the kitchen. Something seriously smelled like a** in that sink!
