Great Night!

Tonight was a great night I have to say... ALL I WANT TO DO right now is get some shut eye but I liked to think my creative juices were flowing so I logged on for a must write post only to come up with what some like to call "writer's block"... it's a term I've become all too familiar with in the last couple of months. And judging by the number of times I've posted anything, you probably could have guessed that yourselves. Although, that wasn't "writer's block" that was "writer doesn't have a block - of time - to - write" or "writer doesn't have the bloody energy to write block". Block? Yeah I just threw that in. It makes no sense. Nor does anything I ever say. Wow.

So tonight - tonight was such a good night I must say. Although I sit here with a slight headache and stomach ache, I have to say that the time I've had to myself tonight has been seemfully a delight! See it started out by going to dinner with a big group of guys (and one gal) in Craig class to La Fiesta. A mexican restaraunt enjoyed by many - me excluded. See I'm not a big fan...so I ordered a sopapilla and you can't go wrong with cinnamon and honey. ? Anyhow, then we headed to our friend Jays house and played some FUN games for a couple hours and ate ice cream. Two new kinds were tried by me and one of them was called triple chocolate something. See, but it's not your average "triple chocolate"...cuz I don't like when it's chocolate ice cream, chocolate candy and chocolate fudge dripping. It's just too much chocolate for me- whose not a chocolate lover. Did I just speak those terms? Anyway... it's triple chocolate meaning WHITE chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate and they are seperated like neopolitan ice cream is. Wow. It's a delight. And for anyone who knows ANYTHING about me... you know that I am a HUGE huge fan of white chocolate. It's like the most delicious thing God created. He did create it right? Cuz all things are in God created or something right? I like to think He created all things - especially my favorite things. White chocolate is amazing and one of my favorites is the peppermint white chocolate hersheys kisses - and I love -gosh the name of the company just slipped my mind... they make those truffles in the bags... Lindt... that's it. They make these white chocolate truffles that are absolutely amazingly delicious! Oh my gosh, why do I say I'm not a chocolate lover?... that's chocolate- duh! I'm a HUGE chocolate lover. I take it all back. Goodness I did not log on here to talk about this "pre" part of the evening, much less to rampage off somewhere about chocolate. Anyhow we had ice cream, it was good, the games were fun and we went home. WAY PAST Linkins bedtime so he crashed as soon as we walked in the door. Well a little "tiff" so to say also happened between Craig and I as we got home (he is SOOO tired and completely exhausted from this weeks work/class and his body is still adjusting to waking up at 4 am so he's understandably tired and therefore excused for his bad behavior). So I took it upon myself to jump in the bath as soon as I put Link to sleep and I literally sat in there for like two hours reading my parents magazine. I got half way through the whole mag. See I just read them front to back these days so I make sure not to miss anything. I find out a lot of stuff that is very valuable perhaps in the future, and probably a lot of useless information too. But it's a great time for me. Then I got out, rubbed cream on my cracked dry nasty feet that were throbbing previous and then logged on to shoot out a few emails. I sent a nice email to someone, an advice like email - verging on lecturing so I hurried and pushed send, and a bickering email. So I think it's safe to say I'm well rounded. If you can apply the term there. Ok so the bickering email was a reply to my Dad sending me an email about how great bananas are in all these different categories, you've all seen it <--if not click there... its "bananas help this that and the other blah blah blah"... well the trouble with all that banana talk is that here I sit, with a lot of useless information and no bloody banana. Can someone say HELP!!! I need a friggin banana. I'm pregnant and I want what I want and now. And a delicious creamy, non acidic fruit no less. Despite all that though I remain pleased with my "by myself" evening and somewhat thankful for a so tired that his snoring could wake the neighborhood husband. Honestly, I was in the bath and his snoring literally vibrated into the bathroom. No lie, I jumped out of the bath, quietly tip toed out there and got the mini tape recorder and came back and put it on my empty pillow next to him and I believe it's still on record to this minute. He he. He'll never forgive me. Not only did I post about it, but I recorded it. WELL...he's always asking me what it sounds like and I tell him it's always different and no doubt about that cuz tonight was A LOT louder and A LOT deeper. No doubt an exhaustion type snore. And now he'll know...how pleasant it is to sleep next to a hibernating bear. That's just it though...he's a bear... so mean and vorocious on the outside but so soft and sweet down deep. AWWWW!! Sap. Throw me a bone here someone! So in place of the banana I so wish I could have eaten - I had a nectarine - a fruit I treasure - and an almost entire bowl of microwave popcorn. Oh and that's not an indulgent thing for the night, that a daily occurence right now. Is that bad? Anyone know the nutrition facts on that? Supposedly microwave popcorn can cause cancer... what bloody doesn't anymore? Honestly? I'm asking you. What doesn't? It seems like they are linking everything with cancer. Just because the person who developed cancer ate microwave popcorn everyday doesn't mean that it was the microwave popcorn that caused it. Ok ok, I get that it's not a study that brought this information and that it's probably a chemical IN microwave popcorn is known to cause cancer, but whatever the case... I don't care because I've had 25 bags of it since hearing that! Don't mess with me. So why did I get on here again? I feel as though I've accomplished nothing. Creative Juices? Blegh. That's nonsense. All this was was a pregnant chick ranting about different kinds of food she's eaten and how much she loves - well what else? Food. Reality though...food sucks and when I'm pregnant, I loathe it even more so. I'm constantly hungry and can not find anything that sounds good. Nor do I want to take the time to fix me up something. I think that's why the microwave popcorn has become so much of a habit is because it's all too easy and convenient. Pop it in. 2 minutes. DING. It's done. Although tonight I was so anxious to get to bed that my jaw started hurting from eating it too fast. That's when I thought of some things I wanted to say, and the thoughts kept coming so I logged on, mid popcorn eating and started to rant and here we are... bowl still half full... my belly not so satisfied and a bottle of sprite to wash it down and no closer to bed. In fact, I've shaved off another hour of sleep basically in this rambling. We all know that Craig is not going to want to wake up early with Linkin having had to wake up so early all week long so I'm down to about 5 or 6 hours as we speak and the words are still coming. Alright I'll call it quits. I can feel my carpel tunnel acting up. No lie. Ok it is a lie because I don't have carpel tunnel but just throbbing pains in my hands when overused. Probably arthritis. Yeah see ya. Good night. It's approaching 2 am.

OH MY GOODNESS... I finally remembered what I wanted to talk about. ha hah hahah ahahahha!!!

AMERICAN IDOL. Fans? Anyone? Ok so here goes another rampage. I just want to say (and many of you have heard me complain already about this and more than once I'm sure). Simon has been known to tell a few contestants, "you're forgettable" right? Well can anyone say HALLELUJAH to that because after Wednesday nights last contestant of the day and the show for the week, there is absolutely no one else I'm thinking of but him. AND the bloody song he brought with him. I have to say it's seriously hilarious. We've seen it all right? It's getting so old to see random people come in random costumes and random songs they sing and it just can't be funny anymore right? I thought so too. But it still was. Even hearing the same thing we always hear it just still was funny. I guess the contestant himself wasn't so funny but seeing Randy, Paula and Ryan dance with him was a highlight and my favorite part of the show - Simons reaction to anything. I have a crush on him. He's so mean and blunt and direct and hurts feelings and I STILL have a crush on him. I think he's a softy bear deep in there somewhere and I just love him to death! Oh but my point about the last contestant on Wednesday and where the complaints come in is that his DARN song has not left my head for more than two seconds since. NO LIE. Last night, I didn't fall asleep until 3 or 4 in the morning because my mind was racing with the words, "I AM YOUR BROTHER, YOUR BEST FRIEND FOREVER, SINGING THIS SONGS THE MUSIC THAT WE LOVE...OHHHH! WERE BROTHER TIL THE END UP TIME...TOGETHER OR NOT, YOU'RE ALWAYS IN MY HEART" AND ON AND ON AND ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For those of you who aren't fans or missed it... it's a MUST SEE!

CAUTION: You will NOT be able to get the song out of your head for at least days, if not weeks. If you do choose to watch it... you must watch the whole clip because he is so cute and funny after the audition when he's talking about Simon. Oh I just love it!!! ENJOY

I can't even begin to tell you how happy that post has made me. Here I am, it's 1:00 in the morning, and I'm enjoying my own alone time and you are just cracking me up. I love reading what you write because it's like we're having a conversation, but I just can't get a word in edgewise! I LOVE it! Thanks for the great end to my day Jackie! I'm so happy I get to call you family.
