Its been too long....

Ahhh....I know you've been anxiously awaiting my next post - and really, I had to wait until Britney got out of her rut before I could begin to go on with my life. After seeing her new video premier on 20/20 last friday, I feel it's finally time to journey back out into the world, proudly wearing my "I (heart) Britney t-shirt. 

 I do love her....LOVE her....in a celebrity crush sort of way. My sister is still kind of in the closet about her, but I have always been a big, huge fan. Thank you Britney for proving me right!! I knew you could do it.

Ok, ok...this blog is NOT about the Britster. 

I feel bad about not keeping up on this thing. Let me fill you in on what I've been up to:

I started School in August (yay me!)

I started training for a 1/2 Marathon to run in Moab in October....but I missed registration and that's no longer going to happen - but hey, I got in pretty good shape for it.

I sing with a Band - we don't have a name - but the guys in the band feel we need to spend every waking moment practicing.....

The Celebrate America Show finally wrapped its 2008 Season in September.

So now - finally - tonight, after I finished writing a Synthesis Summary for a visual and literary text, and studying for an Algebra (yes algebra) test tomorrow, I can now update my blog and play around on this thing.....

I still don't know how to make it amazing....and I don't know how to subscribe to other people's blogs unless they have the button on their page. Maybe that's the only way, I don't know. 

It's not so bad...not bad at all!!

Well, I've done it...I've turned 30!
What's different now that I'm 30? Well.....let's see...I'm sure there's a gaggle of things that have changed overnight....let me get back to you on that one.

I have been completely spoiled. My work decorated my desk, there was plenty of '30' paraphanelia, I had a plethura of '30 sucks' suckers, I got a piggy bank for my 'face lift fund...for all those sagging assets...' it was great...my balloons are still floating and it's been a week! I should really post some pictures up here, my roomies took me to Charlie Chows for a mongolian feast, delicious! So Far - 30 is great! I think the best part is that no one believes I'm 30 - people I meet think I'm 24-26...which is fine with me...I wouldn't mind being 'twenty something' for a few more years.

I also got a mac laptop - the thing is tiny and beautiful...with it's silver finish.

Another year older, and Wiser and almost debt free....I spent my 20's in debt...literally. I SPENT my twenties, and my 20's.

So now that student loans, and my car, Jamaltima are all I have left to pay on (among other things)- it's time to start school again and get my degree. Enough of this foolishness, I'm older and realize the rewards that come with that piece of paper...plus, I never got to put on a cap and gown for my high school graduation. My parents need something to be proud of.

Lazy....Lazy Sunday....

Oh, here we are again...couch potatoes wondering what to watch on TV. I don't know if I'll be able to give up my selfish life of doing what I want - when I want, just to conform to what's expected of women my age, and have children. Oh wait, I think I'm supposed to be married first, and then have children. 

Is it wrong for me to feel like this is not in the cards for me at this point in my life? Sometimes I really really want it, and sometimes, I don't. And I can't tell if I'm talking myself into it, one way or the other to make it okay, or not okay - do you see what I'm saying? 

I just confused myself. 

The weather is gloomy and dreary today - nothing too exciting is happening, just the rain sprinkling down on the pavement outside. Truth is, I feel bad about not keeping up on my blogs, how could I have done such a thing when there are people, fans - if you will, (and you know I will) who are depending on my words of wit and wisdom to get them through their day....how could I be so selfish? 

Want to know what's new in my life? 

I turn 30 next month...I want to cry when I think about it. 

My highlights have grown out and I need to get my hair done - I cry when I think about that, too. 

I got a guitar for Christmas and I've picked it up twice and All I can play is the first opening notes to 'stairway to heaven' and my fingers KILL.

I have a weird chest/throat thing that keeps me coughing and it started when I decided to go for a jog outside in the polluted air. 

I'm getting a gold scooter I will name Wanda. 

2nd round for Sundance? No thanks....

So if any of you are thinking of going up to the Sundance Film festival in Park City, UT during the closing weekend, may I advise you that it will be a complete waste of your time and money.
The scene is void of any entertaining trysts...yes even the frat boy bar, Royal Bliss followers....the Star bar was LAME.
I was - however entertained by the opening bands at the Star Bar....especially one from L.A...called the end of the world, or earth, or ocean....or something. Their lead singer created his own echos..echos...echos....yes, that was something talked about for the rest of the evening...and into the work week on Monday morning.
Hopefully the scene this weekend won't be completely useless and tasteless....perhaps we will be entertained in a different light....opening our minds to something other than boy bands with hot aisian chick cello players.
Thanks coat check guy for making us laugh, and for broken arm guy for getting our attention. Both of you tried - and I want you to know it has not gone unappreciated.

I know what's wrong with me!

I woke up yesterday with sinus pressure all over my face, my ears were clogged and I felt if I leaned my head too far to one side, it would roll right off my body.
I went to the doctor hoping to get the antibiotics needed to nip this in the bud. Clearly, it was a sinus infection; as I've had them twice a year since I was 21. I know the symptoms and what is needed to give them the kung fu kick they need to get out of my body.
Anyway, this was a new doctor, fresh out of Med School...she even had a med student come in and stand against the wall ( and say nothing ) while she was to make her diagnosis. She didn't know what was wrong. She gave me a prescription and told me NOT to get it filled for 2 more days incase I start to feel better. UM.....all I want to do is go home and sleep! THAT would make me feel better.
So I got the prescription filled immediately and took the first 2 pills.
Now it is the next day and I STILL feel like crap. I've slept most of the day....hoping to kick this sinus pressure.
I don't know why I'm blogging about this. It's clearly not interesting.
OH well - wish me luck. I have plans I need to get to this weekend.

Sundance Stories & Pants without Borders....

I went up to the Sundance Film Festival In Park City last night. My friend Rose and I were just going to see what was going on. Parking was EASY - the bus shuttle to main street was convenient, it was like a Winter Vegas. I didn't meet anyone else from Utah. Mostly I met New Yorkers and LA guys.

Highlight of the night was 4 guys from the UK who have now relocated to New York, Bermuda....They were quite possibly the most charming group of men I've ever met. Rose would agree, they helped make our night out at Sundance a success.

About the Borderless pants:

One of the UK guys made his money at home working 'without pants.' This means he just sat in his underpants and made money somehow....We were laughing so hard our stomachs hurt. This turned into a story about how comfortable it really is to work from home, without pants. Then this turned into pants without borders. Let's just say a good time was had by all.
