PARIS withdrawals

I know i know, when i write about how much i miss Paris on a regular basis it probably makes some of you want to throw up......i am SPOILED, I KNOW IT!!! but damn do i miss paris today........and most all days. I have started to speak french to my dog (that is right, i got a dog, pics to follow...i get the internet on tuesday!! YAY) and while speaking to me dog it makes me cry that my fluency is so terrible

anywho, today i remembered one of my favorite late night haunts......

This place "the foot of the pig" hahahah, is like Paris's Denny's equivalent. It is open all night, the waiters are awesome....and (unlike denny's) the food is amazing( unfortunately not as cheap either...but in paris money doesnt count right?)!!! Nothing in paris is actually open all night, so this was a regular hot spot for late night youngsters...

I had my first steak tartare here....that is raw beef people....i am just crazy like that!!! It was pretty good

Weird fact....there is also a pied du cochon in atlanta, the parisian owners opened one there when it got more popular...weird choice....

Expose for the day (no pics yet, i am a slacker)

I can think of about twenty people off hand who will be shocked by this post.....but this is my post of things i really dont like but pretend to cuz everyone else seems to think they are AWESOME.....and the biggest one i can think of is...

disney land! how sad for me huh?? i mean, it is OK...its just when i get surrounded by other peoples kids running around, i start to hyperventalate "where are you parents?? where are your parents?? anyone could just take you!!!!!" runs around in my head constantly. Then there are the really little ones you are afraid you may step on......plus everything is so expensive...i just want some water, thats all....its like an airport, water at disneyland costs more than a meal in the real world...

and next....cruises! I know!!! what is WRONG with me???? it just seems like you never have the time you need in the place you want, plus then you are stuck on a boat with a BAJILLION people wanting to run around and play bingo and there is no room by the pool for relaxing unless you want to sit up front with the uber peppy/slightly scary cruise "host" singing to you.

speaking of cruises....my co-worker (that one who wants to be everyone's best friend even though she is totally mean and devisive) came home from her cruise with those braids in her hair with beads on the end...and i have been biting my tongue not to be mean....but my blogging friends wont care....so really lady, you are 55 years old...i know you want me to invite you and your whole family to hang out with my friends who are all less than half your age but the braids arent making you look any younger....ok now i am really mean...but she does stop by my desk on a regular basis to tell me my job is SOOOOO much easier/less important than hers (while she has tried to get my boss to fire me so she can take my job)......

and for those still reading...here is a really good expose for today. I definitely picked my nose at work today!! hahaha!!! that is RIGHT!! i admitted it....sometimes you just got to get the little bugger out and tissues arent around. that is the reward you get for making it to the end!

Ok, again negativity.....but then i think, well wait, this is good for everyone....because i will be one less person crowding the most wonderful place on earth and cruise ships.....yay for less crowds!!!!

Quick update

I have moved!!! which means i will soon be adding an addition to my life......a dog!!! WOOHOO!!! anyways, life has been busy busy busy, but soon i will have pics posted of mike's and my trip to moab for hiking and trip to st. george for mt. biking.

Ganglion Cyst

Anyone ever had one of these?

I have had one for years and i am finally getting it taken out and i am NERVOUS! I know, coming from someone who has had thousands of shots every year, i probably sound like a huge wuss....but this is my wrist! i am freaking out just a little bit. My appointment is next thursday, hopefully my doc wont slip up and cut a tendon or finger or my entire hand off.

Do you know what your kids are watching???

OK, i know it already. Blogs are SO much more fun with kids on them.....I LOVE the cute things all your kids do....so i am stealing a kid!!!! (well for my blog anyway!)



This is my nephew, who will remain nameless cuz i would feel weird putting any info about him online without my brother's permission. He was about four when this next conversation took place:















nephew: "mom, should we talk to our doctor?"

mom: "well, sure, we should always talk to our doctor"

nephew: "Yeah but shouldnt we talk to him immediately?"

mom:" hmmm......well i mean, that depends on if we are sick, if we are sick we should definitely talk to our doctor immediately"

nephew: "yes, but shouldnt we talk to our doctor immediately if we experience a rrrection that lasts more than four hours?"





Ok moms, daytime TV (probably the sesame street channel) taught my nephew the word erection.....what are you letting your kids watch?? hahahahah, just kidding...im no moming expert, but i do think that story is HILARIOUS

I HATE DREW BARRYMORE!!!

I know...i know, you all love her....but i cannot even stand to hear her voice. Hate is a strong word....and it isnt even based off of her as a person. I haven't a clue what she is really like and she may be the mother theresa of movie-land, but in almost every movie she has ever done that I have been forced to see, i can quote my LEAST favorite line of hers...you know that stupid whiny line she says that is so completely stating the obvious. I feel bad for hating her, i think it is weird that i really cant stand her voice...but i do...i hate hate hate almost every movie she has starred in. I also hate that people think she is a "good actress"....she ONLY EVER PLAYS THE SAME ROLE EVERY TIME... anyway, enough of that, i could really go on for hours, and then i would move on to other actor/actresses i do not like at all....like that "scientist" on jurassic park./.....BLAHhhCH!

I LOVE Cate Blanchett....everything about her...that should even out all the hate....

PS- i know, i am a mean person who is judging someone i dont even know and i am probably going to hell.....but i cant deny this any longer...i will not be a slave to drew's whiny/romantic comedy crap any longer
