Ok. I should start doing this. "Funniest thing of the day."

for today, I give you this, from this article:

On Clay Aiken on American Idol last night:

"Lowlight: Is that how Clay Aiken dresses now that he’s a big star? He resembled a college freshman coming back to impress the high school girls at homecoming. And do they not have hair stylists in North Carolina? He looked like a giant Swiffer."


I truly laughed so hard when I read that last line.

Yesterday's "funniest thing of the day" would be, hands down, the fact that one of my coworkers (shes crazy, for real) LEFT HER CAR RUNNING WHEN SHE PARKED AND WENT INTO WORK. Oh yes. I pull up beside her car and hear something when I get out, and when I look in her window, the keys are DEFINATELY still in the ignition, and the car is definately running.

(At least she got the thing into Park before she forgot what she was doing.)

It was awesome.

Let me just say...that I have had it up to HERE with automated phone systems for any type of company.

And I've also had it up to HERE with Doctor's writing the WRONG prescription for me.

I just read an article on msn that said if the amount of minimum wage had kept up with inflation, it should currently be 9 dollars and some change.

Yeah. I agree. I can't imagine someone living off the current min. wage. Its sickening.

"After the long months of cold and winter, we will soon be coming up to summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking as it's the only type of cooking a real man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved.

When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:

Routine...
1) The woman buys the food.

2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.

3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill.

Here comes the important part:
4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine....
5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.

6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will bring him something to drink while he deals with the situation.

Important again:
7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

More routine...
8) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces and brings them to the table.
9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

And most important of all:
10) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.
11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off." And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing women..."

Andrew picked up our wedding rings today. *beams* He told me my ring looks nice. I'm excited.

WHY I AM A JACKASS:

I keep getting really confused on dates things are happening involving the wedding. One such confused date is when response cards were supposed to be in. Soooo....I thought they were supposed to be in this past Saturday, two days ago. Since we had only received about 60% of the cards back in, I started panicking a little bit, and so I emailed a large chunk of people who hadn't mailed theirs back yet. The email was very nice and all, and I just let people know we would love to know if they're attending or not.

Last night, my mom brings to my attentition the response cards are not, in fact, due in, until this coming Saturday.

So now....I feel...like an ass.

Thats not something you can really undo, is it? hehe. oh well!

thats all.
