The brand new 2006 Mini Cooper just rolled off the line today.  I find the blue and yellow trim especially adorable.

No, no, no, silly.  Not that Mini Cooper.  This one:

And although it's difficult to see in this low quality image, he did decide to stick his tongue out at me as I was taking his picture.

By the way, excellent commenting, everyone.  I'm very impressed.  I'm sure Jen's excited that the new comments pushed the one where I called her a ho off the list.
 

Impromptu Grey's Anatomy Party at Jen's house.  Gretchen brought the veggies, Jen sent Bob out for pizza & soda, and I brought the oh-so-delicious Olive Garden chocolate lasagna.

Doesn't that look delicious?  It is.  Silly, silly Monica left just before the chocolate.  So, armed with pizza, veggies & soda, we settled in for THREE HOURS of Grey's Anatomy.  It was a really good finale, up until about 10 minutes from the end...

NO!!  STOP THAT!  DON'T!!  MEREDITH!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!  HE'S MARRIED!!  YOU HAVE A DATE!  RIGHT OVER THERE!!  WHO IS HOT AND NOT MARRIED!!  PUT THAT--PUT THOSE BACK ON!

This is not how I wanted that to happen.  The three of us have also come to the conclusion that we are not too concerned about the cliff hanger.  Derek or Finn?  It's not that critical.  Although we'd like to keep Finn around because he is hot.

Apparently Alyson (Lily) Hannigan is making her presence known with the casting director on How I Met Your Mother--first her husband showed up as Robin's co-anchor, then last night Fred from Angel showed up as one of Barney's scorned exes.  For a funny show it had a very sad end of season.  Poor Marshall.

Gas is too high.  I just put almost $40 worth of gas into a CAVALIER!  Is that even possible?

Why don't you all comment?  I know you're out there.  I've gotten over 3000 hits.  I know you're there.  You tell me you're there, but you don't comment.  What's up with that?

Yeah.  So.  A couple Tuesdays ago I had a crying panic attack freak out of sorts.  I called up Jen that night and she and Monica came over to calm me down.  We did Yoga in the middle of the night.  I have awesome friends.  If you notice, earlier that day was the last time I posted.  I was really upset for a couple of days and lost my will to blog.

The women at my office were really nice, offering support and lunch.  Then Katie took me out for a pitcher of margaritas after work.

Let's see, what else has happened...

Picked up my ceramics stuff last Saturday.  Art Boy had problems with the kiln, so there was some waiting around time, while everything cooled.  I'm getting mixed messages from the cute guy with the girlfriend.  Every time I looked at him, he was already watching me, smiling.  Oh, well.  Never going to see him again anyway.  Karen says, "Girlfriend-Shmirlfriend."  As soon as Katie gives me a picture of the piece I gave her, I'll post everything I made here.

Sunday I decided that I'm not going to sing with the choir at church anymore.  Cantoring just makes me too nervous.  I get all shaky and my fingers turn to ice--I'd just rather not.

Tuesday was a Gilmore Girls season finale party at Jen's house.  She made delicious lasagna & spinach dip & cake.  Mmmmmm...  Then we played some Nintendo.  Jen kicked ass at Mario Party, of course.  Then we played Mario Tennis, Jen & I against Monica and a computer player.  There were lots of shouts of "You're glowing!!" and "Oh, damn, right in the cooch." Monica won the practice round, but Jen & were the winners in the end.

Boston Katie & I have been emailing back & forth frantically all week, getting more and more excited about the prospect of our trip in September.  Looks like it'll definitely be the three of us from last year (the two of us, plus Beth), with a couple possible cameos from others.

Katie & I went to see "Friends With Money" at Plaza Frontenac.  I was really looking forward to it.  It was so depressing though.  Even Jason Isaacs looking all cute with his short dark hair was totally ruined by the fact that he had an American accent and was an asshole.  I was so sad after the movie that I had to get a Hagen Daaz bar.  Now THAT was good.

Just spent all weekend with Mom & Grandma in Freeburg for Mother's Day.  It was just as fun as it always is, which is to say, not.  I mostly read.  Even when I try to read other stuff, it comes back to Harry Potter.

From "The DaVinci Code": 

Just because a girl is walking through the mall with a Victoria's Secret bag, that does not mean she wants you to hit on her, 40-year-old man!  Guh-ROSS!

So, Jen & I were trying to take advantage of $1 movie day for Wehrenberg, in honor of their 100th anniversary.  We thought we were super smart by going to Jamestown way early.  Thought we'd get tickets, hit the food court, do a little shopping.  We did not anticipate the wave of humanity we encountered.  The entire corridor outside the movie theater was wall-to-wall people.  I've never seen that many people at Jamestown before.  There had to be over 1,000 people there.  So after Jen's first Chick-Fil-A experience (Are you shocked?  I was shocked.), we hit the Mills instead.  We both agreed that we'd pay an extra $6 not to stand in that line.

Despite having the same writer, "Stick It" is not nearly as entertaining as "Bring It On" was.  It made Jen cry, though.  I was stunned.  Looked over at her and she was dabbing her eyes.  I really do think the BADASS lightening we saw on the drive over was much cooler than the movie.

I'm going to Disney World in September!  YAY!  Watch for the resurrection of the vacation countdown webpage!
