"you are so lucky he's your dog. i would immediately put him in a little sailor's outfit."

best quote from Veronica Mars ever. i laughed so hard. K. Bell is so funny. i'm only on, like, episode 9, or something, but i've definitely noticed the show getting funnier.

and i just finished watching an episode and guess who was in it?!! Aaron Samuels from Mean Girls! he's a cutie.

so, i got back into bed this morning at 9:15. took me a while to get back to sleep. i had read in the staff log that our staff meeting was moved from 12:30 to 1pm. so, i set my alarm for 12 noon.

alarm goes off. i hit snooze. back to sleep. alarm goes off. what the heck, i hit snooze again. alarm goes off. it's 12:20. so, i get up. check my phone. one new voicemail. "hi julie, this is just to let you know that our staff meeting has been moved back to 12:30." aw crap.

so, i immediately put on my electric tea kettle to start making tea. i blindly grab clothes and put them on. my slept-in ponytail will do just fine. bronzer up my face. tea is made. put some food in Ruby's bowl. BAM out the door.

and i'm early! the beauty of living above your workplace. staff meeting was fine.

so, my early morning started off to a "little riff" is how i put it, i believe. to elaborate a bit more, here is what i came downstairs to this morning. let me sum it up in one sentence:

"i don't have anything to wear so i'm not going to school!!"

teenagers, right? i mean, forserious?!? it was super stressful at the time. and i got into a pretty good sized argument about this. but, it ended well. i got her to go to school, finally. and, looking back on it, it's pretty freaking funny.

the drama just never ends. never. and, i have a feeling that things are going to start to get pretty busy around here. it's been pretty easy breezy all summer. but, in the next couple weeks we're going to have a mother move in here with her 7 month and 18 month baby girls. and this should be right around the time the new baby will be born. yikes! zero to three babies in a month.

anyways. what else.

i told you i finished The Old Man and the Sea.

i have the night off tonight. my boss is sleeping over in the office. and what does this mean!?!?!? i don't have to get up in the morning!!!!!! that's the best part.

so, my night will be pretty crammed full of Veronica Mars and snuggling with Miss Tuesday.

last night i was throwing her pink mouse around and she was going crazy over it. i throw it, and she brings it back to me. i throw it, she brings it back. this can go on all night. so, this morning i came back home from work and the pink mouse was right inside the door. i smiled at this. and then went back to sleep. went to staff meeting. came back from staff meeting and the pink mouse was on my bed! i don't know how it got up there. but, i laughed to myself.

so i'm very excited for my Netflix week. ok. so tonight, i have 3 episodes of Veronica Mars to watch. then i can mail that disc tomorrow.

tomorrow i will get another disc of VM PLUS a disc of Entourage! so, it will take me two nights to watch all that wonderfulness. AND THEN, buy that time, i should have MY NEXT disc from Netflix!!

i am so excited about this. i could get more VM, but i am either thinking of finishing up season 3 of Weeds. OR getting Rudo y Cursi. the movie with Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna. i'm pretty excited about seeing it.

but, this is also a bittersweet week in my Entourage watching. the disc i get tomorrow, will be my last. and then i have to wait for them to release the next season. when i realized this this morning, i was pretty sad. i couldn't believe it. i am going to miss all my new friends at HBO.

so, something weird kind of just happened.

i was listening to a cover of Jesus, Etc, and then all of a sudden i hear 'West Coast.' and i'm like, "what's going on right now?" and i look across the room and it's my cell phone alarm going off. it was from last night when i had set my alarm for 8pm in case i fell asleep while reading.

so, i shut off the alarm (after i listen to it, of course) and then get this notification that i have 3 missed calls and 2 new messages. and i'm like, "what the what?! where did all this come from?!" so, i look at it, and i got a phone call at the exact time my alarm was going off. so, that was weird. but, i also got a phone call at 7:15pm tonight. which, doesn't make any sense because i was right here. i literally haven't left my couch in like, 2 hours.

and then, i also got 2 text messages, which i also didn't hear arrive. it was a huge caddywonker of messages which i wasn't expecting. kind of strange.

in our staff meeting today, the director of the program used the word 'caddywonker' and it was pretty great. it gave us all a good laugh because nobody had heard it before. and then we all wrote it down because it was such a funny word. and he used it in a normal sentence and then just kept talking and we were all like, "wait a sec, what did you just say?!"

it reminded me of the part in Notting Hill when he says, "whoops-a-daisy" and then Julia Roberts makes fun of him. haha. that part rocks.

anyways, go and spread 'caddywonker' around this great country. it means like, mess. tangled. "all caddywonkered up" would also work.

haha. go enjoy it. make up new meanings.

so, i think tomorrow i might go out and start to price some speakers for my laptop. my old ones, which i've had since i was a sophomore in high school and got for free, are definitely on their way out. one of them just doesn't work. and the other one is pretty iffy.

i had my ipod hooked up to them the other night and it was on shuffle, and 'Microphone' by Coconut Records started to play. and i was in the kitchen and i didn't even recognize it! like, it started to play and i thought, "what the heck song is this?" and i stopped what i was doing and listened and then he started singing, so i knew what it was. but, it was weird. that song is the most affected by the non-working speaker. it makes it sound like a totally different song.

which, i guess is also cool, because i've actually noticed things in other songs that i haven't noticed before. like, cool background parts, or whatever. but, when it comes down to it, i want to hear the normal song.

anyways. speaking of different versions of good songs....

might i strongly recommend that if you like good music, you watch this video!!!! not only does it feature some pretty handsome Rooney members (ned, taylor and robert), but they are singing some classic songs! Lookin' Out My Backdoor by Creedance Clearwater Revival and The Weight by The Band.

Ruby Tuesday just happened to be about to fall asleep on my lap when i played this video. she opened her eyes, turned her head to the screen, and intently watched the whole thing. she really likes watching movies. also, since we recently watched The Princess Diaries, she might have recognized Robert.

but, i don't think you'll be disappointed by the video. Ned has a really great singing voice. and they're all hotties. so, really, what do you have to lose? nothing, really.

anyways. ok. that's all for tonight. or, all for right now. perhaps i'll have something more to tell you in a few hours.

until then, have a great night. enjoy what you are doing. and do what you enjoy! heyhey, look at that. what a great word switch. we should play that game more often.

OK! love you guys. thanks for reading. take care. drive safe. miss you.


<3,
your friend
