I'll make an exception just this once

I hate the Harlem Shake.  I do, however, LOVE the Backstreet Boys.

Two observations: 1)  They are in their 30s like me and they STILL can dance.  2) That's Kevin in the bunny suit.  (Eeeeeee!)

I'm the most screwed up person I know

So besides my health issues down below, I am being tested for hypothyroidism, and my doctor told me I have eczema.  I mean WHAT THE FUCK?!

The only good news?  She told me to go to the tanning bed to treat it.  I shit you not.  I was practically doing backflips.  You know why?

Song lyrics of the day

Something happens when you look at me I forget to speak
something happens when you kiss my mouth my knees get so weak
could it be true is this what God has meant for me?
'cause baby I can't believe...that something like you could happen to me

"Something like you" 'N Sync

(yes I'm going old school boy bandish today.  Man I love this song)

Life is so much funnier when you have a dirty mind.

Song lyrics of the day

Here I am Lord and I'm drowning
In Your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and rest

I don't want to end up
Where You found me
And it echoes in my mind
Keeps me awake tonight

I know You've cast my sin as far as
The east is from the west
And I stand before You now
As though I've never sinned

But today I feel like
I'm just one mistake away
From You leaving me this way

Jesus, can You show me just how far
The east is from the west?
'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
Rising up in me again

In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
You know just how far
The east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other


-"east to west" Casting Crowns

True Confession Tuesday

DAMN IT, NC State!

This is why I don't do brackets most of the time.  I put my faith in teams that I think deserve a win, and they go and lose anyway.  YES I'm talking to you, Wolfpack.  DAMN IT.

Thought for the day

Dear Uterus

Your days are numbered.  FUCK YOU.  December can't get here fast enough.

Sincerely,

Carrie

Happy Panties Optional Thursday!

Real conversations

Overheard yesterday:

"There aren't any Mexicans working at Taco Bell.  That's garbage to them.  The only people working at Taco Bell are black people.  True story."

No really...

dook lost to MARYLAND last night.  Maryland, with their red and yellow mismatched shoes and their "we love the maryland flag so much we designed our uniforms to have the checkerboard just like it" jerseys!  It sucks to sit on the sidelines and watch all of the other teams in the ACC moving on in the tournament, doesn't it?  HA!

And the excuses you hear from dook fans?  "This gives us more time to prepare for the "real" tournament."

dook SUCKS

GAME DAY!

GO HEELS!

Man...

I feel like ASS.

Song lyrics of the day

A year passes so slowly and yet so quickly sometimes.  Just reflecting on what I was doing a year ago and where I am today.  God is good.  I have so much to be thankful for...

My Savior, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save

Forever, author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the risen King, Jesus
We're singing for the glory of the risen King, Jesus

-"Mighty to Save", Jeremy Camp version

Hard Habit to Break by Chicago

Well... there goes the neighborhood

Update on my neighbor lady across the street:

She put her house on the market today.  DANG.  I guess she said "Fuck this shit, I'm out of here!" 

Sorry

I've been in a bad mood for a couple of days, and the excruciating BEATING that UNC took from dook on Saturday didn't help matters much.  But don't worry, I'll be back.  Keep checking on me!

Song lyrics of the day

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe, I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you


-"I'll be there for you" BON JOVI!!!


Guess who's going to the show tonight!!!!  THIS GIRL!

Real Monday conversations

(Re: me not being done with school until December...)

Ninos:   it's almost done!
               9 more months- 9 more months!
               it's like having another baby!
               except you get a diploma!
 me:        that's so funny
 Ninos:   instead of poopy diapers
 me:        good point

The nerd in me just laughed out loud.

TRUTH.

Top 5 things I wish I didn't have to do

5.  Workout.  No really, I love to workout because I love the high you get from the endorphins and I am thankful that I did something for myself etc.  But I wish I didn't HAVE to.  I wish I could be in shape and thinner without all the effort involved in keeping a relatively decent figure.

4.  Dry my Hair.  If I decide on the afro, it takes less than 5 minutes.  If I want something resembling smooth, it takes over an hour. 

3.  Shop in Walmart.  Like EVER.  (And I only go in there out of pure necessity).

2.  Write papers.  I never want to write a paper again.  Like EVER.  A friend suggested that I go for an IT degree or certification after I was done with school.  I started laughing so hysterically at the thought that I almost started crying.  When MBA school is done in December, I am never going back.  I don't have a desire to be graded on anything else again in my entire life.  Seriously.  No more suggestions please.  Even if it was well-meaning.

1.  Shave my legs.  

Tights are not pants
