Monday Musings

1. Last week I booked my trip to London. I'm going for five days, four nights in August. To say I'm excited is an understatement. *squee*

I want a picture with one of these guys:



2. I'm watching a Dr.Phil episode that has Kelly Osbourne as a guest. She's actually making some really good points. To say I'm surprised is an understatement.

3. I'm tired of our gym canceling classes because the A/C is out. Currently it's been a week at the gym without A/C. How is this possible? I was so jazzed to go to spin class today and when I got there it was canceled. So...I did my own spin class instead.

4. I'm in a retail therapy mood, but I know better then to even look at Forever 21 or Old Navy right now. I did find an awesome website though for clothing. www.modcloth.com. Some of the dresses are a little pricier than I usually spend, but they are so cute!

Monday Musings

Just a collection of scattered thoughts I've been collecting today.

-Why is the engagement of David Schwimmer newsworthy? There's got to be something else more interesting happening in the world.

-One day of 60 degree weather doesn't mean you should break out the booty shorts and flip-flops.

-My dog makes me laugh everyday. Yesterday we went on a walk and found a flower that someone had picked and laid on the ground. I picked it up to show it to him and he promptly bit the top off it.

-I got the nicest e-mail from a fellow blogger today. It made my day!

- You know you've been watching too much True Blood when you start having dreams about the characters. Although I'm not complaining about my Erick dream from a few nights ago. *wink*

-Who else is jazzed about March Madness? Speaking of...I need to go do my brackets ASAP!

-Why do the weirdest people add me as contacts on Flickr? It's like I'm a creepy magnet or something

1. I hate snow. I'll be glad if I don't see snow again for a year! I spent a little bit today shoveling snow off our driveway. Needless to say I didn't see that happening when I envisoned coming home for a visit.

2. I'm not looking forward to my flight on Wednesday. I'm praying I make it through customs in plenty of time in Paris so I can just get home!

3. I'm so excited to see Boomer that it's not even funny.

4. Sean and I are getting to talk 3-4 hours a day online and it's making this deployment ten times easier.

5. I cannot wait to get my new laptop tomorrow.

6. I cannot wait to get home and start editing all the pictures I took on this visit.

7. Negative windchills are ridic. I wasn't aware Oklahoma was the new Arctic.

8. I'm hoping to eat at Chilis tomorrow. One last fling with delish, fattening food. Once I get back to Italy it's exercise and good eating. Gotta look good for R&R!

9. There is a possiblity that I'll be heading to NYC to spend some time with a friend after R&R. I'm so excited!

10. I wonder what I would look like with dark hair? Instead of coloring it, I think I'm going to get a wig.

I swear our landlord is an idiot and I'm convinced the people in the housing office may not be much better. As I've posted, we have a mold problem in our apartment, but just on one wall that happens to run the length of three rooms. On Saturday, our landlord brought someone to check it out. His advice? To open our windows for an hour a day and then run our air conditoner for 2 hours each day.

Umm...what? Pretty sure that's going to do jack-crap as mold is still continuing to grow. The stupidest thing is that if our apartment were as humid as they are saying it is, then we'd have mold everywhere....not just on one wall in the house. I asked housing today to send out their inspector to look at it. I want documentation of this, so eventually when this mold doesn't clear up and I want to move out I'll have it all on paper. It's just so frustrating!

In other news...I'm leaving for Oklahoma next week! I'm excited, but I feel like a bad dog mom because I'm not taking Boomer. I just hate traveling with him and I'm always paranoid something is going to happen to him. Luckily, the lovely Becca has agreed to take in Boomer for the time I'll be gone. I know he's in good hands with her, so I'm not worried about him, but I sure will miss him!

Last, but not least I wanted to say I won't be posting much between Wednesday and when I leave for Oklahoma. I will not have my laptop and therefore will have to blog at the library. I think most of you know the reasoning behind this.
