If I hear one more thing about Oksana & Mel, I may just have to shoot myself. I am the first to admit that I love reading the 'gossip' blogsbut is this all that is out there? I mean come on! He's an ass, She's money hungry  . . . . give it a break! There has got to be some better 'gossip' out there. I can already tell, this is giong to be a very boring day today . . . humph

God I do love my iPhone.

I want to go downstairs to Sbux & get an iced caramel macchiato. But . . . I’m trying to be good. I’m back on my daily calorie counter. I need someone to talk me off the ledge right now.

I used to go on-line and track all of my calories; which was a pain since I wasn’t by one all the time. So, in the end I quit counting. Now that I carry my phone everywhere there is no reason for me not to count my calories since there are apps to do it for you. I just need to find a good one (I don’t know if I like the one I have right now).

I did find an app that will track your period though. So much better than writing it down in the calendar.

Why does that candy dish next to me keep calling my name? Ugh! I really need a sweet snack right now. I must remember to go to the store & buy some fruit later.

(and yes, I am going to the gym after work)

All I have to say is . . .  28 days until vacation. I C A N ' T W A I T ! !

Sometimes people really piss me off & I need to learn to not take everything so personally.

At my job, one of my ‘duties’ is to plan anywhere from 1-3 parties/dinners a year. I find the location, I plan the menus, flowers, drinks, blah blah blah . . . And everyone always LOVES the parties. (But of course they do since they don’t have to pay for anything).

My whole family is extremely creative, I am the least out of the four of us & I’m still fairly creative. My parents went to and met in art school in Detroit, I think my brother has an incredibly creative mind. Some of the things he ‘thinks’ of is amazing . . . well, that was 15-20 years ago when he was either high or dunk so he was even more enlightened; now he may just have to get to it in a different way.

Anyways, the party’s/dinners are always a blast, they turn out great. So, when someone is trying to plan something they always ask me for help. For instance, one of the gals I work with is getting married in a few weeks. Her boss asked me to come up with some ideas for a dinner, preferably on the water. I found a fun lunch cruise. There were 2 options one was to see the ‘fleet’ come in for Seafair and the other was to just cruise around the Ballard Locks. They were both about $90+/- for the whole shit & shebang. Yes, could be a bit pricey but the Boss was totally excited for it. She wanted to do it. It would have been just lunch (no gifts), take ½ of work & have some fun (everyone but me is salary so they wouldn’t have to take any time off except me since I’m hourly). The e-mail that we received this morning was:

“Ok…got some feedback that maybe the cruise was a little far reaching pocket book wise, although it sounds like a lot of fun.”

OK. OK. I know, but come on. You are going to pay at least $50 a person for a dinner with drinks and then a gift on top of it that will be what . . . . $30-$40? Come on people!!

So then . . . .I responded back with another really nice cheaper place to go to that is just down the street.

She said . . .

‘All options sound good. I've got K checking out a place in West Seattle that has awesome Italian food and is on the water but not in Alki.”

Great. The bride is not supposed to have gluten. And that means I (and others) have to drive in, pay for parking & then go over to West Seattle. Mind you I don’t really like to drive now that I am a public transportation gal. (And I won’t take the bus home from West Seattle as I’ll have to transfer & I don’t do transfers haha)

I don’t know why I get so bent out of shape. I fell like everyone is always asking me for ideas but never uses them. It is not my fault that I enjoy the finer things in life. I’m sorry that I can be a bit of a snob when it comes to restaurants but who wants to eat crappy food? I really want to tell them to F-Off and not go to West Seattle for dinner but that would be wrong. Or would it?
