I know what you're thinking....Im an idiot.

Aaron Spelling died!
This is so odd to me, not because he is dead...I mean the man was 83, BUT yesterday I had this huge urge to watch 90210. Like all day long I could not get it out of my head how badly I wanted to watch 90210.
I can't help but think that I might have some weird form of ESP. Like my intuitions are very strong, but not right on the money...they just kind of dance around things.
One time i was eating at Kabuto and sitting at the table with me and my friends was this lady who claimed to be a physic. And she went over everyone at the table, and made brief references to things in their lives, and when she got to me she just stared, and said that she believed that I had physic abilities...I have always kept this in the back of my head and now maybe there is some sort of truth to it.

(Oh and for all you out there who don't believe the story about Kubuto (and I have this weird feeling that you may not believe me) you can ask Sarah F. she was there with me, although shes pretty hard to get in contact with, but if you see her, ask....i dare you.)

a million times better

I just finished James Freys new book "My Friend Leonard" this weekend. Now I really really didn't like his "Million Little Pieces" and I was leary of reading his next book, but I am so glad I did. I really enjoyed it. The writing was easy to read, and gives you the sense that Frey is writing, and recounting the events right after they happened. His emotion seems so raw.

So in an effort to do some summer reading I am now looking for a new book to read...any genre is fine, just as long as it is engaging. So please don't hesitate to suggest a title or an author...I would appreciate the input, and the opportunity to read something good while lounging by the pool.

stayin put.

With all my travels lately I have forgotten how nice it is just to chill at home for the weekend. Friday night me and SP watched an ok movie...Saturday did a little light cleaning around the house, went to chick fil a for lunch, and got a prime seat at the bar that night at the 519er. Today was spent vegging on the couch and re-discovering my love for Sex and the City (me and SP watched the entire 6th season from start to finish) . Then people came over for spaghetti, and we finished the weekend up with a trip to Coldstone.

To some this might sound like a pretty boring/lazy weekend....to me this was a much needed vacation from every other vacation I have recently been on.

boys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses.

If you don't wear glasses, or contacts, and you have perfect vision be happy, and oh yeah...screw you. Because glasses, and contacts, and blurred vision are financially, and cosmetically two things that have ruined my Friday.

So I go to the eye doc this morning...just for a check-up. I haven't been since I moved to Greenville, and my eyes have been irritating me for a while so I bit the bullet and scheduled an appt. My appt. was for 8 am and I figured that would be perfect...I could be off to work by 9. No biggie. What I assumed would take a quick hour ended up taking over 4 hours. I ended up finding out that my eyes have been rejecting my contact lenses (thus the irritation) and I have an infection in both eyes....lovely. Now anyone who knows me probably knows that I hate wearing glasses...some people may not even know that I wear glasses because I hardly wear them except right before bed. So the doctor (and his name was Dr. Watson) tells me that I won't be able to wear contacts for quite some time. Great. So that means I have to purchase new glasses while I am there, because my old glasses are not strong enough...wonderful.

If you don't wear glasses you may not know that in the past few years glasses have become very stylish....however style always and forever will come at a cost, because style isn't cheap. So I began making my way through the racks and racks of glasses....every designer present from Gucci, to Valentino. Feeling a littel overwhelmed I settled on an old faithful pair of Ralph Lauren Specs...while they were not my fav I was tired of looking, and I feel like Ralph is just a classic, so how could a girl go wrong. I was also kind of rushing to finish because the girl who was assisting me was trying to talk me into clip on sunglasses, and it was really really pissing me off. I don't think I have ever worn a clip on anything...I just don't go out like that.

Then for those of you who might not wear glasses, or need to frequent the eye doctor you might not realize that after you spend a few hundred dollars on new glasses, and the procedure they then make you endure the worst part of the visit. The walk of shame with the plastic sunglasses on. Its so embarrasing. Not only are your eyes dialated to the point where its hard to see strait. The nurses give you these flimsy plastic, and paper sunglasses which fit behind your real glasses so the sunlight won't bother your dialated eyes. In short you just end up looking like an asshole. Or as BK thought Cyclops from Xmen.

I remember when I was little my brother had glasses, and I used to want them so bad. That is one instance where I wished so hard that my wish actually came true. I was also one of those weirdos that thought braces were so cool...but you live and learn.

So for those of you who have 20/20 vision consider yourself lucky. And for those people with four eyes out there...I feel your pain.

Back to life...back to reality

If it's called a vacation...then why am I so tired? 9 days at the beach meant 9 days sleeping in till 11, going to bed at insane hours of the morning. And drinking from the time I got up till the time I went to bed. My body is exhausted....exhausted, but tan. And now its back to the real world where my alarm goes off at 6:30, i have to cover up my tan with business attire, and it is unacceptable to have a bloody mary for breakfast. And they tasted so good.
But now its back to the 9 to 5. I miss the beach.

C's Whistle Stop East Coast Tour

I have been traveling so much lately. Not on a train, but either in my car, or in my friends cars. Either way the summer, or pre-cursers to summer have meant Road Trips for this eastern north carolinian, and so far so good.

It started off with the trip to Preakness...that trip can be filed under "will never do again, but everyone should try it once" And once again for the record I did NOT in fact see the horse break its leg.

Then I took it back to my old digs in Charlotte. I had a lovely visit. Got to revisit some old friends, and hang out with the fam. Got to meet JJ's new beau. I even perfected a home-made mojito...and LK said they couldn't be done at home. Leave it to me to find a way! Besides the 300,00+ race fans that also decided to make a visit to Charlotte for the weekend it was a great visit. PS just in case you were wondering if you want to be a race fan you have to wear denim shorts, and oakley sunglasses....tank tops for men are also encouraged.

So this weekend I will be headed back up North to Baltimore...well just right outside of Baltimore (Columbia MD) for a party for my beau. This time I am driving and SP is navigating. Im looking forward to stopping at a WaWa and eating Chipotle.

And then I have my first real paid vacation in my adult life. I am going on vacation for one whole week to the beach! Jealous??

So thats the start of my summer...and the traveling won't stop there, I am busy planning lots of trips for the summer. So if you are going to be somewhere fabulous within driving distance for me f%$! the high gas prices this lady is hitting the road.
