Gotta love this!

Has anyone else seen this? I was crying I was laughing so hard when I saw this!

You're not going to believe this!

Ok... so Saturday Stephanie, Molly, and a couple other friends and I went to go see Chicago (the musical) at one of the local theaters here in town. It was great! And it was only $20. We had a really good time. Except for one thing. During intermission I was in line for the women's restroom, and it was a pretty long line. I was chatting with this nice woman behind me (her son was in the show) When this older lady, maybe in her 50's 60's, comes out of the restroom exclaiming how long the line was. Looks at me and says...

Lady: wow this line is really long. They should really let the pregnant ladies go first (points to me)
Me: my mouth hanging open... the blood is slowly rising to my face
She walks away... but then comes back
Me: Did you just call me pregnant?
Lady: Looks at me like a deer in the headlights and walks away.

Just FYI... I wasn't just a little bit miffed... I was full fledged PISSED OFF! A woman does not just say that to another woman unless she is about to pop. Ok, yes I was wearing an umpire waist shirt but I don't think I looked in the least bit pregnant! My friends were very comforting. Saying things along the lines of "You do NOT look pregnant Becky." And "That lady was stupid Becky, F*ck her." and "You look stylish and beautiful. She's just jealous." Just goes to show you that I have great friends. Love you guys :-)

Yes I am alive...

unbeknowinst to you all. I just haven't felt like blogging in a while. I am finally all moved into my new place. I love it! It's huge... well I guess anything is huge compared to my old place. Also, so far so good on the roommate situation. She is really down to earth and sweet. We get along great! I kinda like having someone around once in a while you know...

Lets see what else... I still hate my job. But I figured nothing is going to change unless I make it change. So I am applying for anything and everything! I have just been going on to monster and craigslist and applying for whatever I see that looks slightly interesting. I have also come to the conclusion that I may need a second job in the mean time. All of my savings are gone. And I WILL NOT go into credit card debt. So... I'm not sure what kind of job yet but something to give me a little bit more money.

I finally figured out what I am going to be for Halloween! But it is a surprise! So you will just have to wait and see until I post pictures. It is pretty original so I am sure no one else will have it at any of the parties that I will be attending.

In other news my uncle (the actor) is shooting a movie with my favorite directors right now. The Coen Brothers! When I heard this I almost fainted I was so excited! Maybe he could get me an autograph or something! I would just die. If you haven't seen No Country for Old Men then you need to go rent it right now! It was one of the best movies of last year.

Nothing really new in the guy department. I have been on a couple "eh" dates but nothing that gave me fireworks yet. We shall see. I kinda like not having to worry about a guy. It really gives me time to concentrate on myself.

Bits and Pieces

Well lets see... what has been going on....

I finished Twilight yesterday. It was SO good! I definitely recommend it. I started the next book, New Moon. I heard it's not as good as the first but hardly anything ever is. I'll let you know what it's like as I get going.

What else? What else?

Oh it was Stephanie's birthday celebration this Saturday. Her real B-Day is on Tuesday. We had a great time! We started off the night at Houlihan's for dinner than on to a local bar. We played a million games of pool. I didn't do too bad. I'm getting better. The past couple of guys that I have dated were so determined to teach me that I actually picked up a couple things. I wasn't feeling too well near the end of the night so I went home.

I think she is realizing how old she is...

Pretty ladies


She looks so happy :-)


Which is a segue into my next story...

As I was laying down, I got a text for my friend that I work with. It wouldn't have been unusual but it was almost 2 o'clock in the morning. I read it and it says, "Your new apartment is on fire. Burning up." I was like WHAT??!!! She calls me and tell she is across the street at her apartment complex and there is like 10 fire trucks outside of the apartments that I'm going to be moving into in a couple of weeks and one of the buildings is on fire. So I get some clothes on and drive over there... its like 3 minutes away from where I live now... and boy was she right. One of the apartment buildings in the complex was completely on fire. As I stand there watching it I figure out that the building that is on fire is not anywhere near the one that we will be moving into. Thank God! It was really scary though. There were people running around and fire fighters all over the place. I drove by this morning to look at the building in the daylight. The top apartments where it started I guess, was completely destroyed. I'm just glad it didn't happen when I was living there.

So all this fire stuff really made me think. If there was a fire in my house and I had only a couple of minutes to get out... what would I take? And this is what I came up with...

1. My stuffed care bear... I've had it since I was a baby and really means a lot to me
2. My external hard drive... it has all my pictures and all of my music on it
   
3. My camera
4. and the locket my Grandma gave me

If your house were burning down... what would you take?

new car pictures... finally

Here is my beautiful new car! Sorry it took so long for me to post, but here it is! I've been trying to think of a name for it. And I haven't come up with anything cool yet. It's definitely a her. If you have any ideas... let me know!

My new addiction

Thanks to some friends at work I have found a new addiction. While no book could ever take the place of my first love...


Twilight has settled my longing for something irresistible that I can not put down. I long for the work day to be over so I can read. I light my cider scented candle and prop my self up on my couch for a good read. Stephanie Meyer has taken everyone's perfect man and made him come alive on the pages of her first novel. With one big exception... he's kinda a vampire. Now I sound like a book critic or something. Anyway... I had to take a quick break from the book to share with you all how great it is.

oh perfect job.... where art thou?

So it has been 4 months and 12 days since they played pomp and circumstance and I so proudly held my head up high and marched across the stage and received my oh so elite Bachelor of Arts diploma. My question now is.... oh perfect job... where art thou? Actually let me rephrase that last statement. Oh job... any job... where art thou?

This question formed in my head today while I was at my current position. Am I really cleaning up after children? Really? With my thousands of dollars education? REALLY? I'm so frustrated right now. I shouldn't have to do this anymore. Why did I go to school? Please someone give me some motivation quick!

I did send my cover letter and resume to this one ad agency that had posted a job opening last week. This job would be so perfect! I would have 18 paid holidays a year! Full health insurance and a 401K! Please everyone pray for me.
