Newsflash

Dear Sandra Bullock,

You have moved to the top of my least favorite actress list.

Why, you ask? For ruining my dream of running away to California and becoming Mrs. West Coast Choppers.

That is all,
Janet

It's gross in my office again and I think it's making me insane.

Inspiration

After seeing Batman Begins on Friday night, I was inspired. I decided that I want to sleeve on of my legs above my knee. (It's still a sleeve if it's on your leg, right?) I guess it would be more of a half sleeve, seeing as how it would be above my knee.

At first, I thought of getting all the comic book characters I like. I'm not majorly into comics now, but in high school, I was an XMen fiend. I've also always liked Batman, from the campy TV series in the 60's, to the cartoons, to (most of) the movies. The problem is, I don't think that I like enough comic people to really fill that part of my leg.

Then I thought maybe just movie or fictional characters. I'd really, really love a yoda. I keep telling Chris I'm gonna get it on my left butt cheek, but I'm kidding. I also would like Wolverine and maybe Jack and Sally.

I don't think I really have a point to this, other than to do an entry to kill time at work. I think I'll stick with the half leg sleeve idea. I'd love to have someplace on me heavily tattooed, and that seems like a great spot. I could even wear some skirts and still hide it if I had to for work or anything. Just not sure what kinda theme I want to go with on that one. Only time will tell.

(no subject)

So vacation starts on Friday with the Chicago/Earth Wind and Fire concert. Yippee! Ok, so that was sarcasm, but it's my Mom's very first concert and she's 56, so I'll fein enthusiasm for her. Sunday is the dreaded shower of doom. We told Sarah we had to go to a Parent/Student brunch at La Salle and she seemed to buy it.

Monday is business day. Get my license renewed, sleep a bit, do our wash. Then take the trail of death. otherwise known as Route 42 over to the shoe place in Jersey. That should prove to be interesting, considering I think half the bridesmaids and my Mom are coming with us.

Tuesday we'll be heading down the shore, but I'm not sure what time. I'm not which shore point, either for that matter. It's a free trip. Chris' best friend Scott's parents have a house down there and since Scott will be there, we're meeting up with him on Tuesday and spending the night and Wednesday there. We don't know what time Scott will be going though, so if it's late, we thought we might take in the aquarium during the day.

Thursday we'll be going to Gettysburg. Chris has never been there, I like history and we can do everything there for a total cost of $14. Not a bad deal. We'll spend the night at my Dad's friend's house, then head into Duncannon on Friday. We used to go and stay there when we were younger, and I haven't been up there for probably about 10 years. It's a really neat little town, with this antique store/museum called the sled works. It used to be a sled factory, it's not just a clever name. We're going to have lunch at the Red Rabbit, which has the best burgers EVER. No, seriously, it's worth the two hour drive just for one of these puppies and I'm not quite sure why I haven't already done that. I've considered it a lot, but never actually done anything about it. To top off our day, we'll be going to the Titanic exhibit in Harrisburg then heading home.

Nothing too excited, but it should be a fun relaxing time. Most importantly, it will be cheap. We're trying to get my Mom to go with us upstate, but she hasn't given me an answer yet. She loves it there and doesn't get to go anymore because my Dad is a cunt, but if you read my Live Journal, you already know that.

I feel kinda bad for Sarah. We have our differences and stuff, but she's still my sister. According to RuthAnne, only 30 people are coming to the shower, so that actually means only about 25 actually guests. There's 6 bridesmaids. Almost nobody bought her anything from her registries, which is a shame, because it's not like she asked for anything that outrageous or overpriced, like I thought she would.

Maybe she'll get lucky and a lot of people will wind up shopping on Saturday.

I'm out for now. I've discovered that I'm definitely allergic to the acrylic they use to do my nails and I have horrible blisters on my fingers. I cannot describe in words how badly it hurts to type. Almost to the point that I don't believe I'm doing it, but not so bad that I totally can't. I think I'll play with my scanner for awhile, seeing as I finally hooked it up and that only uses a mouse.

Blast from the past

So Sarah had to go through and find baby pictures and what not for her wedding video, and we found a bunch of me.  I thought it would be a fun way to test my scanner out finally.  I'm not sure exactly how old I am in all of them, but I did my best to guess when I wasn't.  I know they're all before 5 and a half though, because that's when I got glasses and I didn't have them in any of these yet.  They're all pretty big, so if you have dial up, beware!
