Show Me What I'm Looking For

Hello All,

I hope that you had a wonderful and safe and awesome weekend! I had a decently good weekend, was pretty sick throughout, but here I am on Tuesday still kickin.’ So today’s blog title is brought to you by, Carolina Liar a talented rock band. So with that, I will jump right to it.

Erika’s 10 Things I Think I Think –

1. I want a rematch at the poker game we played Saturday night. I thought I played well, but I shouldn’t have gone toe to toe with my foe that knocked me out. Also it was suggested that we should start doing something similar to that on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Friends getting together for game night, whether it's Rock Band, Poker, Monopoly, Scrabble, or something. We should definitely do it!
2. Some people are just ungrateful for the things that they get and often times are out for what they can get without so much as a thank you. I am starting to despise those people.
3. Is it football season yet?
4. I get annoyed easy. Like really easy. And when I do, I get eerily quiet and withdrawn from the conversation or the action.
5. I am not sure what I would do without my IPOD when I am in the office. I am starting to think I would go crazy and beat everyone senseless. Some of the things they say in the office amaze me, and not because it’s smart, but because it’s mindlessly stupid. I am subjected to stupidity on a daily basis. So Apple, and IPOD, I thank you wholeheartedly. You are saving lives…
6. While looking through my clothes, I noticed that some were missing and that somehow I am unable to find a few of my shirts…only one thought comes to mind…washing machine monster
7. It sucks to be sick. I haven’t been sick in like 4 years and this weekend, flu like crap all weekend. Today I finally feel loads better, but only after a ton of Sudafed, Benadryl, and other medicines.
8. I think that I am pretty set in my ways and won’t be changing anytime soon. I have grown comfortable and I like where things are headed.
9. I hate folding laundry. I need a maid.
10. Is it just me, or are the new Kobe and LeBron puppet MVPs commercials just plain hilarious?

Rachael Real Moment – So this week’s surgery is not a big deal, but a big deal if you know what I mean. They are doing a biopsy but only because I seem to have calcium deposits in my joint like an old man. The procedure sucks because I won’t be too mobile for about a week. A second follow up appointment on June 15th and then a final surgery sometime in July or August. Fun stuff.

Pete Thought of The Day – Guess when this show was on t.v. I should have given it a little bit more consideration, but seeing as how I didn’t, I can thank my lucky HULU stars that they have the entire first season on there. It certainly was a worthy show, but now I can watch it in its entirety. YAY for HULU!!!

Mindy Moment – So finally I booked all of my travel (this morning of course), at least the first part of July. July 3-6 (Seattle) July 8-11 (San Francisco) July 17-19 (Las Vegas). Now just waiting to book my Fairbanks travel for the latter part of July. Man I get to hang with Mindy twice in one month!!

Julie Happy Thought of the Day – Spending one entire week with the Jordan man every other week this summer will be a time for some father/son bonding time. Normally I get three to four days per week, but now 7-8 consecutive days will be a blast! He is starting Summer Camp on June 1st and boy is he giddy. Can’t wait for this weekend to get here! Love ya Julie!

Eugene Sports Moment - My friend Eugene is entering into the Nathan’s Hot Dog eating contest this weekend here in Tempe. The winner of this “Regional” gets a trip to NYC and a slot in the July 4th contest. I will be filming the event for him and posting it online. Saw him eat an XL pizza on Saturday and I um…think he will demolish the competition. Eat those wieners Euge.

Misty Movie Reviews –

Hot Rod – I love Andy Samberg! He’s a funny guy. This movie…not so much. I mean it had its parts but for the most part it wasn’t that funny. It was more painful to watch than anything because he kept getting hurt during his “stunts.” Overall I give it 2.5 stars.

Terminator Salvation – So I watched this movie, and I have to admit…it was pretty dope. I mean it drags in parts, but for the most part it is very very good. The visual effects are amazing. The story is good, and the acting is good. I overall liked it. Some of the CGI was horrible, but then again not everything can be perfect. Of course…I was waiting for the Christian Bale Tirade….Overall 4 stars.

Night at The Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian – This movie…was very enjoyable. I LOVED the first one and this one falls right into the realm of that one. Visually amazing, funny, and just overall amazing to watch. I loved every second of it. Even Jordan who normally gets bored was enthused to watch it. If you have kids, they will enjoy it, if you are a kid yourself you will enjoy it. Either way, watch it. 4.5 stars.

JJ song of the week – Now that I no longer have cable, VH-1 and me are no longer homies, so I will have to pour a little bit o’ apple juice out for them. The song of the week is brought to you by Keri Hilson, Kanye West, and Ne-Yo, entitled Knock You Down. What a great song, and the video is pretty awesome as well. I think the coolest part of this video is when Kanye falls down…it’s dope.

Heather Joke of the Day -

Dead Dog - A man runs into the vet’s office carrying his dog, screaming for help. The vet rushes him back to an examination room and has him put his dog down on the examination table. The vet examines the still, limp body and after a few moments, tells the man that his dog, regrettably, is dead. The man, clearly agitated and not willing to accept this, demands a second opinion. The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat and puts the cat down next to the dog’s body. The cat sniffs the body, walks from head to tail, poking and sniffing the dog’s body and finally looks at the vet and meows. The vet looks at the man and says, “I’m sorry, but the cat thinks that you’re dog is dead, too.” The man is still unwilling to accept that his dog is dead. So the vet brings in a black Labrador retriever. The lab sniffs the body, walks from head to tail, and finally looks at the vet and barks. The vet looks at the man and says, “I’m sorry, but the lab thinks your dog is dead too.”The man, finally resigned to the diagnosis, thanks the vet and asks how much he owes. The vet answers, “$650.”“$650 to tell me my dog is dead?” exclaims the man. “Well,” the vet replies, “I would only have charged you $50 for my initial diagnosis. The additional $600 was for the cat scan and lab tests.

Jordan Quote of the week - "If you drink more water, you will get taller, you won't be sick, and girls will stay away from you." Oh the things you learn from a child! That's what he tells me all the time about water, that we all should drink more. Tomorrow is his last day of kindergarten and he is pretty ecstatic. Got his report card and he got a glowing review and he is definitely ready to move on to first grade! I have a first grader! Holy CRAP!!!
