Funny quotes (and thoughts) from Yesterday

"I think Adobe is my abusive boyfriend." If you've ever used Adobe products, I'm sure this quote needs no explanation. It came from Rica whilst working on altering an ad that she really didn't want to alter in the first place.

"Nobody yells about dog balls, but girl boobs, that's a problem." This too came from Ms. Rica. It seems complicated to explain and might even be funnier out of context, so I'm going to leave it at that. If you want to the full story, you'll have to coax it out of her.

Finally, this wasn't a quote but rather a thought that I just found a bit ironic. I've mentioned that Will and I have been trying to eat healthier. As a result I could probably count on one hand the number of times i have had fast food in the last 3 months. The few times I have had it, my body has been pretty unhappy with me, so I've gotten to the point that I don't even want it any more. (Trust me, while I know this is a good thing for my health, it really freaks me out. I love me some good greasy fries! Anyway...) So last night I'm at my yoga class and we are at the end doing final relaxation (I'm all about workouts that force you to relax). The instructor is saying things like, "this is time for you," "feel the body relax into the floor," and then she says "allow yourself to go to your favorite place." Now, normally I just sorta zone out during all of this. I can't really explain what happened, but the second the words left her mouth I had an image of myself sitting at In-N-Out Burger with both hands wrapped around a double-double. There was no one else around, just me and double-double. Sweet action!

Well, that's all. If any of this made you laugh a fraction as much as i did, you're likely in a better mood now. YAY!

I heart the Faux-hawk!

So, Will has a tendency to not visit The Hair God (our stylist) as often as he should. In his defense, it's freaking expensive, and let's be honest, I don't go as often as I should either. He's also got the same problem I do, in that our hair grows really freaking fast. Great if you get a bad hair cut (which NEVER happens with the Hair God), but means more frequent pricey trips. So, pretty regularly Will's hair get on the long and shaggy side. Not long like some skater punk long, but long enough to make styling it challenging if not pointless. Eventually he goes to get it cut and always gets the gay man's hair uniform, short and spikey with blond highlights. I recently tried to get him to dye it black, you know the super deep black that makes it look almost blue, but the Hair God said it wouldn't come out right so he bailed on the idea. So this time i convinced him it was time for a Faux-hawk!

He's done this before but it usually only lasts 2 days before he's back to the short spikey mess. I think it looks really great this time and it makes me happy! It also made me happy to take ridiculous pictures of him so I could memorialize this moment on my blog. This is my favorite pic....

After checking out Will's new do Oscar decided he wanted to jump on board... (or he might have given me dirty looks and tried to bite me the whole time i was messing with his fur, but whatever)
My boys and their Faux-hawks! I LOVE IT!!!!!

Day of Mourning

Last night I was cozied up on the couch buried under blankets and Oscar, watching The Black Donnelly's. (New show, seems interesting, we'll see how it goes, it's on Thursday and that's already filled by CSI and Grey's Anatomy which were both re-runs last night, hence checking out the new show) Suddenly my phone was trumpeting the tone that alerts me to the presence of a text message. It's from the Reverend and simply says, "looks like you'll need a new jersey." I immediately pause the TV (God bless Tivo technology) bolt up and order the boyfriend to go to colts.com. He hangs in head because he had gotten news a little earlier from a friend and had opted not to tell me.... Brandon Stokley's contract with the Colts has been terminated.

It's devastating! The day after the Superbowl the bosses were kind enough to give us the day off to celebrate. I thought it only appropriate that I have a day to mourn my loss. I called the Doctor, who hadn't heard the news yet, and made my request, explaining the situation. His response, "Well it sounds like you just need to work extra hard so you can save for a new jersey." ggggrrrrr! Well played Doctor, well played. Not the sympathy that I was looking for, but well played indeed.

I'm not holding my breath, but there is still a chance that the Colts could re-sign him for less money. He's an awesome player; he just had a rough season because of injuries. I expect some other team will scoop him up and I'll be forced to move on. If so... Dallas Clark, you've got a new #1 fan.
