In my car...

My head is constantly filled with random musings when I'm driving home in my car. The morning commute is usually so quick and part sleepy that I don't think very much except to not hit the person in front of me and when I need to get over.

But the afternoon is much more...more. It's just more. More music, more people annoying me, more traffic, more things on my mind. Here is a sampling of the thoughts I've had this week that stuck with me:

"94.7 if you say you play more music then you actually have to play more music!"

"It is sick and disgusting that I like this song (Right Round by Flo Rida) but its so catchy....Z100 is kind of rotting my brain"

"Did I unplug my curling iron???"

"Lady Gaga, your fashion choices are shameful....it is also shameful that I like this song. And that I know the words."

"I should really tell some one about the women's room toilet at work being broken..."

Woman who called in on Z100s song of the hour gets Jonas Brother tickets from the "prize wheel"- "Unless you are 15, you just got screwed dude"

"Z100 is rotting my brain slowly and mercilessly, must remove from pre-programmed channels"

Commercial detailing how a person could get tickets to the britney concert in TACOMA by dressing up as Britney and going to the Paul Mitchell salon downtown comes on: "That'd be so cool... I could totally pull off dressing up as Britney...no pants- check, stringy disgusting hair-check, lack of personality/high on drugs....oh yeah...probably couldn't do that...wait, the concert is in TACOMA? Who the heck would go to all that trouble? Oh there's a limo as part of the deal...sweet!... Wait, was I just thinking about going to a BRITNEY concert?????? MUST-STOP-LISTENING-TO-Z100!!"

What we've been up to...

Steven and I have been busy playing our Wii and doing our Wii fit activities...he's getting very good at bowling too! He has Pro status. I'm not that good...but I'm working on it.I finally put my pictures from my camera on to the laptop. Here's the photo I took of Shelley and I right before 'Wicked'.
This weekend Iva came to visit us from Eastern Washington. Its fun to have a house guest, plus we took the opportunity to have a total girls weekend. Thankfully, March Madness was on, so Steven had a way to distract himself from all the Sex and the City we've been watching. We went out shopping yesterday and today. Yesterday we came home and I made soup and salad and we just relaxed and rested our tired feet from walking around downtown. Today we hit the outlets and it was fabulous. It was there that I found my new baby:
Steven and I have been planning our Easter dinner and we needed something for the meat we have selected. Viola!!!! I could not be more excited...I have been wanting one of these for a long time now.

Last weekend we had a little birthday party for Dad and Chris at a brewery in McMinnville. It was a lot of fun.This is my favorite picture from last weekend. Dad and Colin are precious.

Random Observations

Yeah, its been a while...so here are some of my random observations:

Went to see Wicked on Saturday and the show was phenomenal! I thought the book was very mature and was wondering how it might be distilled down into something age appropriate for all the kiddos I keep seeing on TV that say how much they loved the show...well I was suprised. It wasn't 100% true to the book, but for the most part very good and followed the story pretty well. I'm wondering though if Elphaba is, in fact, still alive as portreyed by the show and I have heard musings about. I guess I will have to keep reading Son of a Witch to find out the story there. Anyways, I'm at the show and I had wondered if I shouldn't wear my little black dress and an adorable green scarf (to be in style with the main character) but I thought it was too much. I got there and there were a million little girls running around in various black and green ensambles. I should have went with it.

I may need an intervention for how obessed I have become with Flight of the Conchords. I blame Darren for letting Steven borrow the CDs and DVDs. It is fabulous and has helped me get through some stressful days at work by keeping me nearly singing out loud with "most beautiful girl in the room" and "bowie's in space" goodness. I can't get over it. It is constantly funny and dry humor. Loving it, loving it, loving it. I have also turned a few people here at work on it to it as well, which is just awesome. I'm just doing my job to help promote New Zealand's 4th most popular song/folk duo.

I had never set foot into Sur La Table before I went shopping with a friend right before Valentine's Day. I'm now on their email list and every time I open an email I feel a pang of lust for new cooking supplies. I swear. Today they sent me an "Easter goodies" email and now I'm convinced that I must have this Bunny Rabbit platter and dip bowl for my Easter celebration. Seriously- the marketing folks there have GOT-MY-NUMBER.

We have some birthday celebrations coming up which we are looking forward to, Grandma is doing well, which is always good. I visited last week on my Friday off and made cookies with brownies in them. (Yes, it sounds amazing, but the recipe wasn't so good. The brownie recipe was worth it though). I was proud of myself for trying something new. Then Mom and Dad helped me wash my car and we had a good lunch together. It was a perfect Friday- 60 degrees and sunny with no wind. I was out working on my car in jeans and t-shirt. You don't get many days like that in March around here. Saturday we had snow. I don't know what kind of weather we have going on here, but I'm ready for some serious spring!
