The last week

In the last week, two absolutely amazing things have happened. I shall describe them in detail.

First, last Friday, my sister-in-law and I managed to squeak out some tickets to see Kathy Griffin, who was out at Starlight, performing comedy in an outside venue. We arrived early, found our seats, and bought some margarita's.

Becca found the tickets on Craig's list, and although I was kind of afraid of meeting some guy in a parking lot to get these tickets, all turned out okay. (But I was trying to remember all I had learned in my self-defense classs on the way to get the tickets, just in case.) They were for seats about 26 or so rows from the front, and no one too tall blocking the way.

People Kathy talked about:
Brittany Spears
Justin Timberlake
Cher
Larry king
Rosie O'Donnell
David Cook
Paula Abdul
Eminem
Obama (she kept asking anyone if they got the 'VP text' that was supposed to go out that day)
Her mother
Miley Cyrus
and my personal favorite 20 minutes:

Nancy Grace!

Turns out Kathy finds her as annoying as I do, which is awesome. I could summarize all that she said, but it just wouldn't be as great as hearing her do it. She had no opener, and spent over two hours onstage! Needless to say, it was a great night, and I really want Kathy Griffin to be my BFF now.

The second great thing happened on Wednesday. We are all at work, just doing the normal job related duties and all of the sudden there's a strange woman knocking on the door (we keep it locked). When I answer the door, said woman says 'Hi! I'm from so-and-so business park, and for being our tenant, today is FREE ICE CREAM DAY!'

Not kidding.

Ever seen the episode of The Office where it's free pretzel day? Same thing, only the business park pays for a fully loaded ice cream truck to come around and we get to go outside, line up, and get whatever we want for free! I got a chocolate taco, and it was fantastic. And I felt like I was closer than ever to the TV show 'The Office' which is enough to make anybody smile.

So all-in-all, I'm just saying, my week has been pretty good, and to top it all off -THREE DAY WEEKEND!!

Sometimes you read sentences so good....

...You have to share them:

'Ariel looked queenly and elegant and ten times younger than her real age. Like [her daughter], her hair was blond and her boobs were big. She drove a convertible, wore diamonds with denim, and she never missed a homecoming game. She was so Southern that she cried tears that came straight from The Mississippi, and she always smelled faintly of cotonwoods and peaches.'

List of possible real meanings behind the 'HOLD ON!' license plate that was attached to the black car in front of me yesterday:

1. Hold on, I'm trying to get it in second gear!

2. Hold on, I'm talking on my cell phone about very important things!

3. Hold on, I can't be expected to read my book and drive and do both things well, can I?

4. Hold on, I dropped something on the floor and have to bend over and get it, thus making myself completely invisible from your vantage point!

5. Hold on, I may need to make a right turn at any moment, and therefore will keep my blinker on the entire time we are on the highway.

6. Hold on, I've completely forgotten how to drive!

7. Hold on, what do those yellow lines on the road mean?

8. Hold on,I can only get this car up to 40.

1. Barbara Walters.
2. Cage fighting, extreme or otherwise.
3. Joe Francis and his Girls Gone Wild empire.
4. The TV show 'Flipping out' on Bravo, but mostly the main boss, Jeff.
5. Shayne and Suede on this Season's Project Runway.
6. Cilantro.
7.The people (yes FOUR different people) who played frisbee golf THROUGH the wedding we were shooting, who didn't have the decency to go around us, or at least skip the hole.
8. Workaholics who I know had kids and a spouse at home, waiting for them.
9. Corporate America (I can say that, I am part of it)
10. Not being able to download Flash Player on my computer at work, without putting in an IT ticket in, and even then, I'm sure they'd deny it.
