Kara 2.0

That’s right, on Saturday we played WoW from 10am to 9pm…9pm! God we’re nerds! Kara 2.0 was goods times nonetheless. It wasn’t quite the success as Kara 1.0 due to the fact the Holste boys couldn’t physically be there with us but seven out of ten really wasn’t too bad. Wetzel couldn’t make it at all due to a job or something, I don’t know… Unfortunately the Holste boys could only grace us with their on-line presence for about four hours and after that we had to PUG (pick up group) people, which majorly sucks. There were a few good people we got to come along with but us the majority were jerks, probably because they were twelve-year-old boys but still… Courtesy is never a bad thing people. I won’t get into how people were rude because it would involve too much WoW talk that only truly nerdy people will understand but trust me, you get some crappy people, namely Bitzit. If you ever run into this guy on Anetheron tell him he sucks and put him on your ignore list, moving on…

Tibor was super helpful during play time as always, the best part was at the beginning when he decided lying underneath the tables we were playing on was a good idea and then upon further inspection deciding it would be an even better idea to start licking the power strip outlets that were located in his vicinity. Needless to say, Tibor got a little shock from that one. All we heard was a yelp and then Tibor darting out from under the table. From that point on he switched from licking power cords to licking feet so that’s better…I guess…

Here’s to Kara 2.1 that we will hopefully have in September!

My eyebrows are trying to take over the world.

After realizing that my eyebrows were starting to morph into one intelligent life form and starting to wave at passer-byers I decided it was time for a wax. I made an appointment at my usual brow-waxing haunt, Estilo. Now my eyebrows are one thing that I really tend to splurge on. I figure my eyebrows are right there for everyone to see so no need in being stingy and risking having my eyebrows completely waxed off and then having to draw them in with eyeliner because that’s just not cool with me, I’d look freakish. I just love Estilo because it is so hip and the people that work there are awesome and tell you what you should do instead of asking me what I want because I have no idea how to make myself look good, that’s why I go to them so that awesome. It’s pretty expensive but totally worth in my opinion.
The woman who does eyebrows there, I think her name is Rina, is the most awesomely crazy, intimidating person ever. She’s a little older I think, like in her 40’s but I’m not positive because I’m horrible at guessing people’s ages, but way more hip and stylish than I could ever be so I kind of love her. She’s way nice but in an aggressive, scary kind of way and I love to hear the people there gossip while I’m being worked on, it’s like I’m on a TV show about style or something.
So Rina does all her waxing, plucking, cutting, etc. and shows me my new face and I am very pleased. It is crazy how different I look. I like that she shows me my brows after she’s only done one of them so I can compare and see the difference and it just blows me away every time. One day maybe I’ll take a picture of it if I’m ever brave enough. When she’s all done I remove the headband she uses to keep my bangs out of my face and I give it back to her and attempt to fix my bangs back into place covering up most of my face. Now Rina was just not having this. She decided I needed to do something to show off my new brows and not hide my face so she starts running around the store picking up headbands that they sell. This place is also kind of like a classier Clair’s and they sell all kinds of accessories. So she puts a headband on me and it’s all sparkly and way too fancy for me to wear to anything but a high school dance and I’m thinking, oh great I’m going to have to buy this headband that probably costs fifty bucks and never be able to wear it because I can’t say no to this women.
For one she is way excited about me getting a headband and two, because I’m a little afraid she may yell at and/or hit me if I say no thanks. After trying on the blingy, fancy headband she has me try on a yellow, ribbon-like one (shown below) and she just flips out. She tells me she doesn’t even want me to try on any of the others and this is one and I say, ok, and that’s that. Luckily it only cost $12 instead of my expected $65 so that wasn’t so bad. I go to take the headband off and tell her ok I’ll take it but she yells at me and says I have to wear it out and I freeze and slowly bring my hands away from said headband. She then proceeds to instruct everyone in the salon to look at me and tell me how fantastic I look and how the yellow in the headband brings out the gold in my eyes. At this point I just want to pay and get the hell out of there before she makes me buy anything else. Finally I escape and was planning on throwing the headband in my drawer of hair accessories that I never wear but then I decided that I’d give it a chance. I chose to believe that as soon as I left they didn’t all start laughing and saying what a dumbass I was. Instead I chose to believe that they genuinely thought I looked good.
In any case, I wore the headband today and got many compliments, even an 'you look exceptionally cute today.' Heh, I guess they know what they’re talking about. Ahh…I can’t wait till my next brow waxing appointment…it’s always such an adventure.

Aside from eyebrows what else have I been up to you say? Well, I finally graduated college! FINALLY! After only eight years, go me… I can’t believe I’m finally done, it’s been such a big part of my life for so long that I kind of don’t know what to do with myself now. I guess the next step is finding an exempt position instead of being hourly. Ugh, I hate job searching. I think I’ll just stay in good ol’ Financial Aid for a little while longer; I still like it so far.

Happy Birthday Kenny!!!

Today is my little brother's birthday! So Kenny...Happy Birthday to you! Party hardy out there in Japan. :) Welcome to getting old!

Today is also my boss' birthday so I decided to wake up early and go buy muffins and some balloons. I get to the Fred-Smiths at 6:45am to find out that they don't open till 7:00am, lame! I get the balloons and get them all the way to the office, put them on the boss' chair only to have one pop and give me a freaking heart attack. It sounded like a gun shot!

On a geekier note, I have signed up on Xfire, which is a geek website that shows how truly geeky you are. Also, it shows how much I play WoW, which probably isn't good.

Tibor's New Trick & 3 Years!

Tibor has a fun new trick he recently likes to do in the mornings. We've been letting Tibor be crate free at night for a week or two now (because he's freaking spoiled!) and for the first week or so it went super. He was a good pup that just liked sleeping on a pile of clothes on the floor or if that was not available then a pair of Bryan's underpants that are undoubtedly always somewhere to be found on the bedroom floor. Anyways Tibor's been great, not chewing on anything or having any accidents, but on Tuesday morning when my alarm went off at 6am, I did my usual pressing of the snooze and dozed off again when a few minutes later I got a second little wake-up call by a lick in the face. I groaned and pushed the dog aside and turned around so my face wasn't towards the edge of the bed but instead of a few more minutes sleep that I so desired Tibor jumped up on me and started licking my face again. I figured he just really had to pee and I was supposed to be up anyways so I got up and let the dog out and thought nothing else of it. Come Wednesday morning...my alarm goes off at 6am, I press snooze, and lo and behold a few minutes later I get another lick in the face. Instead of pushing the dog aside and groaning I chose to look at him to see what was going on and why he felt I shouldn't sneak in a few more minutes of snooze time. I look up to see Tibor standing there bright eyed and bushy tailed looking right at me expecting me to get my lazy butt out of bed and I figure he's just really got to pee again. Then this morning like clock work I hit snooze when my alarm attempted to wake me at 6am and a few minutes later I get a lick right on the lips and there's Tibor looking at me hopefully, ugh. Apparently Tibor thinks he is now alarm clock number two. We'll have to see if he does it tomorrow and the big test will come Saturday. Hopefully, he won't wake me up at 6am if my alarm doesn't go off because if he does, he's so going back into the crate!

On a more romantic note today is the three year anniversary of when Bryan and I meet for the very first time. For those of you who do not know, Bryan and I met on Match.com or as we like to say 'we met on the Internets...' and first met in person on this day three years ago at the Mayan, ooh yeah! Now that is romantic! :) The Mayan also happens to be the place where Bryan proposed to me on my birthday in 2006 (God I hope that's the right year, I'm horrible with dates!) because he's sweet like that. Here's hoping I get a date night at the Mayan tonight... :p

Also, I started a Facebook page because I was bored and I had a lot of other better things I could have been doing but didn't want to do them...check it out!

Also, the picture is from when we went to Strut Your Mutt and 'Yes!' Bryan and I are both wearing our WoW shirts, which makes us totally super way cool! :)

dogster, etc.

Don't worry, I started Tibor a profile on dogster. :) Enjoy!

So this weekend Bryan, Tibor and I went up to my parent's cabin and spent the night Friday night. This was the first night we didn't put Tibor in his crate to sleep and he did very well, except for how he decided to wake me up in the morning. I was innocently sleeping away and about 6:30am Tibor decides it's time to get up so he comes over to me and parks his butt right on my face! Needless to say that did the trick. Other than that Tibor was very well behaved and had a good 'ol time for his first time up at the cabin.

As for more weekend hilarity...after puppy school on Saturday (which Tibor graduated from, yay!) we drove home to three guys mowing our front lawn. Apparently we're the losers of the neighborhood and our neighbors decided to mow our lawn for us since we're bums, nice...

What did I ever do to soda?

In a rush this morning I realized I was very thirsty but instead of hauling my butt all the way up the stairs to get a glass of I water I decided to just grab a morning Diet Pepsi to enjoy on my drive to work. I grab my soda, get in the car and go to put my lovely soda into my cup holder when I realize, I have no cup holders, thanks to the unknown person or persons who decided to steal my radio. They could have at least left me my cup holders. So I go to put my drink into the center holder thing that lies between the two front seats when I realize this holder is already occupied by a can of Diet Root Beer and an unknown diet soda in a paper cup. Both these sodas still have liquid inside them so I had to chose which to throw into the garbage and risk it spilling out into the trash. I decided to pick the paper cup because it had a lid and I figured that might help deter some of the sticky mess. I pick up the cup and stick my new can of soda into its new spot and can sense immediately something is not right. The paper cup I'm currently holding over myself is leaking. That's right, there was a leak in the bottom of the cup and it's slowing dripping all over my car seats and me. So I dashed to the trash can and threw it away and decided not to change because I'm wearing black and I couldn't see any of the spills on me, so whatever. I get back into the car and start off on my merry way to work. Now for some reason I did not put two and two together and think, hey since that paper cup had a hole in it then there is most likely stray soda in the center holder, since I did not realize this I went to take a sip of my Diet Pepsi and got a fun surprise of stray soda hitching a ride on the can and got more spills on myself and the car seats. So I go to investigate the center holder and see there is a pool of old soda from the paper cup hanging out in there. Well, not much I can do about it so I go ahead and put the can of Diet Pepsi back into the soda filled holder and take careful sips here and there trying to make sure I stay over the center holder to avoid spilling everywhere. After a little while of this I realize I have a cup holder in the back seat area that I can sort of reach so I get smartish and finally use that instead of dipping the can of Diet Pepsi into the center holder pool of anonymous soda. So I ask soda, "what did I ever do to you?"
