Facebook Friends?

So...last night I took some pictures with my new 50mm lens. The picture were of myself, since I consider it to be more of a "portrait" lens. I added a few to my Facebook and MySpace and in turn changed my default pics. No big deal right?

Wrong.

I checked my e-mail and noticed I had a few comments on the new pictures so I went over to Facebook to check them out. One of the comments was from a guy I went to high school with. His comment? " Stop....enough already!" As in I shouldn't have put these pictures up.

Excuse me? I didn't force a gun to your head to make you look at my pictures! Geeze...just ignore the fact that I added them. I don't understand the need for people to be rude about insignificant things. I made my way over to his page though and left this message:

"I hope for your sake that the comment you left was a joke"

Some people!

I had something kind of weird happen to me on post today. I was walking from the commissary to the USO (Sean had the car) and an older lady stopped her car and asked me if I needed a ride. Since I was close to the USO I politely declined and said thank you, but then across the street walking with groceries I noticed an very obviously pregnant lady and her husband. I had to wonder why she didn't stop and ask them if they needed a ride.

I have tomorrow off. Woo hoo! I'm thinking of soaking up some sun at the Villagio pool. My pale skin is in desperate need of some tanning.

Commissary Woes and Stripper Poles

Got you with the title didn't I? I knew that'd get your attention.

Anywho...I went to the commissary today and was sorely disappointed. I went to get some items for these delish cookie/brownies that I saw on Brown Eyed Baker(check my sidebar for the link). The recipe called for bittersweet chocolate (which the commissary did not have) Nor did they have pitas that I looked for OR spinach that I needed to make a Green Monster. At first glance this isn't a bad commissary, but then when you start looking for things it's obvious there is a lot lacking. I think I'm going to have to make a list and then go to the commissary manager to have her order what I want.



On to the stripper poles. As discussed in a previous post I mentioned I wanted a stripper pole for exercise purposes. Yes, I do mean exercise purposes and not that I'm practicing for amateur night. I'm still thinking of getting one, but I'm wondering if you guys have heard which ones are the best? I have Shelia Kelley's S Factor workout and in turn she also sells poles, but I know there are a lot of other brands out there too. So....if you've heard anything then let me know.

Tuesday Tidbits

So I finished the last Twilight series bok yesterday. Survey says? Twilight was ok, but I have to say I prefer Harry Potter. It just seemed like Twlight got redundant after awhile and I thought the last book, Breaking Dawn was way out there. I'm sure there are a ton of people who disagree with me, but that's just my two cents.

Next up? I Love a Man in Uniform by Lily Burana. She's a journalist who used to be an exotic dancer and married an Army officer. It looks to be a good read.

Can I just say I love this shirt? Plus it's totally appropriate for the country I live in.



Don't even ask where I found it, because if you know me then you already know.

So...Sean and I are trying to eat healthier, which means lots of salads for us. Any great salad suggestions?

One last thing, go check out Steph's giveaway. You won't be disappointed.

Question of the Day

Today at work I had no Internet the entire time I was there. I may or may not have gone through withdrawls. It's scary how much I rely on the Internet for amusement. Don't get me wrong, I have other things that occupy my time, but it's so satisfying to check my email or to read your blogs.

Now on to the question of the day:

Do you have any tattoos? If so, what do they mean and what are they? If you don't have any, is there a reason that you don't?


(Photo courtsey of Tattoos from the Soul)

I have no tattoos. Quite honestly there is nothing that I like/love that much to put on my body. That doesn't mean I don't find tattoos on others interesting, I just don't have any myself.

Indiana Jones?

Sean and I did go to Venice yesterday for a few hours and I got a couple of pictures. Nothing too fascinating though. We decided to eat a Hard Rock and although I didn't have high expectations, I was pleasantly surprised. Sean and I shared some loaded nachos (complete with sour cream and guacamole) I haven't had guacamole in FOREVER and it was seriously heaven on earth.

While at Hard Rock I had the opportunity of seeing Indiana Jones.



Harrison Ford you ask? Nope, just some random dude dressed like Indiana Jones complete with whip. I have NO idea why he was dressed like that because the people with him were dressed normally. I told Sean I'd give him ten bucks if went up and asked him if he'd found the Temple of Doom yet.

Speaking of dresses...I have no idea why women, European and American alike, think it's a good idea to wear light colored clothing with colored underwear underneath. White dress with blue panties? Not ok. I can't tell you how many times I've seen this in the last month.

Oh..and a big thanks to everyone who gave me drink suggestions the other day. I'm going to write some of them down and try them. You gave me a ton of new ideas for the next time I go out.

It's Like Sex and the City

This post is at least. Only without the sex and it's all about the cocktails/mixed drinks.

What are your faves? Least favorites? Any drinks you've made up that you'd like to share?

My faves?

Spicy Bloody Marys and Mojitos.



No place makes Bloody Marys like Louisana and even then you have to be careful when you order them. Not all Bloody Marys are created equal. Trust me.

Thursday Tidbits

Thanks everyone for your feedback yesterday, I'm sure I'll be asking you plenty of more questions in the future.

Boomer has been cracking me up lately. We have tons of lizards around here and he is intent on catching one. He's come close a copule of times, but has yet to nab one. Watching him go after them is priceless.

Go visit Kebi over at Hanging By a Thread! She's giving away some awesome Sanuk sandals and you don't want to miss out!

I started watching the first season of True Blood last night. I'm already hooked and I've seriously seen one episode. Sean has watched more of the first season and told me he wasn't sure I would like it. Wrong! Love it. Although Anna Paquin's attempt at a Southern accent could be better.

Sean and I went out to dinner last night and midway through dinner he started breaking out in hives. We're pretty positive it was the pink sauce (salsa rosa) they served with the shrimp, because he is not allergic to shellfish, but has had that happen while eating Thousand Island dressing before. He apologized for making it a short dinner experience, but you can't really blame him for that. It's not like he tried to get hives. Besides, I still got to enjoy my shrimp risotto.

We are considering a short trip to Venice on Saturday. I have a few things I want to pick up there. 1. An animal Carnival mask 2. An item or two for my upcoming giveaway and 3. Sean still wants to eat at Hard Rock. Sometimes it feels weird to say, "Hey, let's go to Venice for a few hours."
