I'm so jealous... :bloosmirk:

I can spend a couple hours at the local Korean market, there's so much to look at, and wonder at, lol. Unfortunately both times I've tried their seafood I've gotten food poisoning, which is too bad because they have so many neat molluscs and stuff.

I had to laugh when I read this:

The first comment summarizes things nicely. 8D

This is one of the reasons I love the movie Idiocracy so much. I get so many great reactions from intelligent people when I wear my Brawndo t-shirt.

It's a book review. 8D ;D

A forum I'm on got hit with a spambot, which posted about - wait for it - how Transformers Revenge of the Fallen is the best movie ever made. Its filled with links to a website that sells dvds. That's pretty special.

I'll bet you anything that person thought Jonah Hex was a better movie than Toy Story 3. :frankiemad:

I went to my favorite Chinese restaurant tonight. The group ahead of me got their order and left, and a moment later the girl behind the counter goes racing out the front door with an item they forgot. Too late; as fast as she was, they'd already left the parking lot. That happened to me once there as well but since I'm seldom in a hurry she caught up to me easily. Anyway, about five minutes later my order is ready so I paid, offered my thanks, and went home, where I unpacked everything I picked up at the restaurant and discovered a surprise. Guess who got a free order of the house special lo mein? ;D

Lol I got a free chocolate milkshake at a burger place once that way.

This is now mine. ;D

Nice. A new embroidery machine, I presume? :bloogrin:

Yup. We financed it.

I turned 54 this past Tuesday, and my sister, a substitute teacher at a nearby elementary school had a calendar in which she noted the due date of the student's homework assignments, but she also had my birthday noted. When she noted it to her students, they all suddenly broke out in "Happy Birthday To You." I may not have been there to have heard it, but in Mary relaying it me made me feel warm all over.

That is so cool. A belated Happy Birthday by the way.:frankiesmile:

Navy Bloo
 

Sorry for the double post, but I just cannot help myself. I got my vanity plates for my car today. I was going to get my AZ Vet plates, but you can only use five characters; instead, I got the AZ Freedom plate (the money still goes to support troops and vets), but I can use 7 characters. Here it is:

It has a double meaning: "Navy Blue", and I am a Foster's fan hence "NVY BLOO.:bloogrin:

OH GOD. No way!! ;D

:clap: That's awesome!

Yup that is them...thanks!:terrsmile:

Excellent!!! :bloogrin:

well. i got a new girlfriend the other day so big whoop there. ;D needed one too. got dumped a while back. :P

I took my Grandma out to eat at a mexican resturant earlier this evening. I ordered a vegitarian chimichanga. Grandma looks at it and says, "Oh! is that a 'chi-chimanga'" LOL. sooo funny :)

I just got back from eating at my fav Mexican cantina out in Apache Junction (AJ). I have not been out there in months. It is my fav place to get peace. I sit outside in the shade with the misters and read and eat. The Superstition Mountains are right in front of me.:frankiesmile:

Everyone with Facebook is welcome to make use of this application with me anytime, lol. Hopefully they'll make a non-Facebook method someday, too.

I made it into Gaga's "Gagaween" video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSXKR8kPdRY (at 3:21). Just the fact that she saw my costume and liked it enough to include in the video is enough to make me extremely happy.:P

I'd be doing the dance of joy if my favorite star did something like that for me. Congratulations! :bloogrin:

Slightly related: I got featured in someone's dA journal the other day:

I'm about halfway down the page. Definitely made me smile. :frankiesmile:

And once again, the Doctor Who fans dominate:

I just got back to my house with ORD in tow. He is in AZ with me. This has been a long - but a great day.:frankiesmile:

Yep, I am with Howard! It's been a long day for me, too. It's great to be back in AZ. It is my first time in the area in 11 years. :)

This absolutley AMAZING barrett I recieved as a christmas present from my sister. 100% wool, and made in Czechoslovackia

An instance that made my day intangibly but more a case of making someone else's day. The 7-year-old granddaughter of the next door neighbor had her little razor scoooter stolen last month. I knew this because she left little post it notes calling the thieves "sorry." On an impulse, I went to Target that Saturday morning, bought a new scooter, assembled it, and anonymously left it at their front door. The girl and her grandparents were most happy.

To this day, they most likely still don't know it was me. But it's all good. I'm at the age where the deed is what counts, not being recognized for it.

Last Thursday, my mum and I were walking to the bus stop, and on the way, we saw a fox crossing the road! Keep in mind that it was about 3 pm, and while we do see foxes around here sometimes, they've never come out so early before :D Really made my day.

Yesterday, it was waking up and finding this in my dA inbox c: I love my friends.

And today, I found out that CN are showing Regular Show over here again next week. Small thing, but it's been a while since they've shown it, and it was nice to come home to :).

..heh, I've been having a nice week, apparently XD I didn't realize how cheery I sounded until I wrote it all down! x'D;

Nothing...not until July 20...the Con BABY!:frankiesmile:

I finally got health insurance last month for the first time in 6 or 7 years. I am diabetic so I couldn't get regular insurance, I needed high-risk insurance and that's hard to get and expensive. Well I have it now, and was able to have extensive lab tests done. Results came back and I'm in good shape, I was expecting kidney failure, out of control cholesterol, what have you. But everything is perfect, other than my actual blood sugars, which are already doing better on my new medication.

Unfortunately the new meds did make me put on yet more weight, and nothing is helping get any of it off. Since I've been trying and failing to lose weight on my own for many many years I have finally been referred for a lap band, so we'll just have to see how that goes.

Still it's great to hear you're doing well for the most part.

I'm back in CA for two weeks, Tuesday through the 25th, I'll be in San Diego for Comic-Con. For the first few days and after CC, I'm seeing friends near LA. I'm also hanging with Rid, who used to live in CA and is visiting for one week. I'll be heading to AZ on July 30-Aug 4. :)

I just received my "Cookie Dream Babo" Ugly Doll (a SDCC exclusive).

I was in the library, and this girl (around 10 years old) saw my Cheese purse (which says, "I like chocolate milk" :cheese:), came up to me, and started saying, "Cheese! I love Foster's! That was my favorite show! My favorite was Eduardo.", and then we got into a little conversation about the show.

Needless to say, it was sweet. :)

A friend and I are in Moab, Utah. We are enjoying the red rocks, and the peace and quiet.:bloogrin:

Best. News. EVER!

Don't want to double-post, but 'Star Spangled Man' from Captain America: the First Avenger is in the front runner for Best Original Song at the Academy Awards! If anyone has seen the film and/or heard the song, you'll know exactly how awesome this is. :frankiesmile: I'll be EXTREMELY happy if it wins the Oscar!
