Stumbled upon this webpages from the NYTimes that tells you the song that was #1 on the Charts on specific days.
The day I was born it was Shadow Dancing - Andy Gibb
The day I graduated from college (had to go look up the date!) it was Maria, Maria - Santana.....
The day I started this job (the first time) it was Aint it Funny - J.Lo feat Ja Rule (I don't even know this song!)
On our wedding day.... We Belong Together - Mariah Carey (ugh)....
OK, that was fun. Back to work!!!!
Lindsay Lohan posed nude as Marilyn Monroe in the spring fashion issue of New York Magazine. Do you think recreating Monroe's last photo shoot before her 1962 death was a good career move for Lindsay?
I've seen the photos.... found them very uninspiring.... for reasons I can't explain, I find her freckles annoying. I had no idea that this particular photo shoot was Monroe's final shoot before her untimely death. A foreshadowing perhaps?
I was reading an article earlier this week about the trial going on about who is really behind Princess Di's death. For some reason, the article made me think "It's a wonder that Britany Spears, Paris Hilton, and Lindsey Lohan haven't suddenly died"... hmmm
Last Monday I was sitting in a bar waiting for some friends to show up and this random guy asked me if I had ever been told that I look like someone famous. I replied that back in the late 80s, when I had very curly hair and Dirty Dancing had just come out that people used to say I looked like Jennifer Grey.
He made this big production out of telling me I shouldn't be offended by who he thought I looked like...... after much build up, he finally said I looked like Mary Lou Retton. WHAT? Even more odd was that the young teeny-booper bartender (she must have only been 21) had no idea who that was. That made me feel old. Pretty random!
Our cleaning lady comes on Thursdays – we've established a pretty good routine when it comes to managing this. We both do the "pre-clean" the night before, I'm responsible for writing her a little note about what to clean, and Adam is responsible for hitting the ATM (we pay her cash) the night before and dropping off the key at the front desk on his way to work.
Today he sends me a note saying "Did you drop the key off? I looked everywhere and couldn't find it." I ended up needing to run home immediately because he couldn't get away and she usually arrives before 8:30am. I didn't want her leaving (and not cleaning!) because she couldn't get in.
I go upstairs thinking the keys had probably fallen off the counter and into our bag of plastic bags. It takes me FIVE SECONDS to find the keys. They were underneath the clean rags I had left out for her. He didn't even LOOK! So annoying!!!
Why wouldn't he look around a little? Why wouldn't he call me before he left the apartment? Why wouldn't he leave HIS key at the front desk so she could at least get in. STUPID MAN! I come back to the office and vent to one of my fellow female analysts. Her response, "Well, brace yourself, they get worse AFTER you have kids" -- Add that to my list of reasons I'm not in a rush to have kiddies yet!!!
My mom sent me this earlier this week. It was her first EVER forward! ENJOY!
I've been on facebook for a few months now and like it much better than MySpace, which I rarely use. Since then I've received some random friend requests including people I knew in highschool but was never really friends with and bizarre friends-of-acquaitences looking to increase the amount of people that are facebook-friends. For the pseudo-high school friends I have taken to just accepting the request and continuing to go on pretending they don't exist. For the random wackos looking to add to their friend roster I've quickly chosen to "ignore" them, never thinking twice about it.
Today, I got a friend request from one of the two girls that tormented me in middle school and made my life a living hell. This girl was one of the reasons I had such a hard time adjusting to my new school and she was constantly picking on me. Luckily, our middle school combined with three others when you reached highschool. She was in a lower-track of classes, so I only saw her in homeroom (which was done alphabetically - No way to avoid someone whose last name starts with the same initial.). I found my niche and ended up with a great set of friends. Thankfully, my highschool experience was nothing like middleschool -- hormonal pre-teens are mean!
Why on earth would this person think I would have any interest in "friending" her now???? Not sure if I should just "Friend" her and let bygones be bygones (I think the emotional scars have healed) or ignore her (would she think I was being bitter???). Honestly, i just don't want to let this person into my life at all, even if it is remotely from facebook....
Why the heck do I care? The whole thing is very strange.
Had a great hour long conversation tonight with a college friend! We were on the topic of a suspected closet-gay friend (that's not very politically correct, huh?) My friend mentioned that where he lived there were an unusually high amount of gay people (its a large southern city). In particular he talked about one friend that was an interesting mix between sourthern sophistication (think: Gone with the Wind) and Monster-truck lovin' rednecks.
I called it "Old Money Nascar Gay" -- I'm thoroughly amused with myself.....
I know this is beyond cheesy, and I've already sent it to a few people, but I can't stop giggling about it:
6 truths of life:
1) You cannot touch all of your teeth with your tongue.
2) All idiots, after reading the first truth, try it.
3) The first truth is a lie.
4) You're smiling now cause you are an idiot.
5) You will soon forward this to another idiot.
6) Theres still a stupid smile on your face.
I love Cathy!
Couldn't resist sharing this email forward that I received today:
Handle every stressful situation like a dog would:
If you can't eat it or hump it, just piss on it and walk away.
