Thursday Bug

I had a whole post written about all the things pissing me off lately, mostly work-related, and somehow it just deleted itself.


UGH.

Wednesday Want-Its: Work Clothes and a Hot Dress

I neeeeeed this dress. And it's on sale. Sah-weeeet.

This fake leather moto jacket is awesome as well...

I love that this dress is long sleeve, and would look good day and night.

Ann Taylor wool pencil skirt, on sale from $110 to $60!

This gorgeous new color from the Essie Winter Collection, available this week: Masquerade Ball

Tunery Tuesday: Stereo Love- Edward Maya ft. Alicia

I just love this song. It makes me happy every time I hear it. It probably has to do with the foreign sounding beat. Enjoy!

Monday Minute!

Link up with Christy here to participate!

Questions:

(1) What's for dinner tonight?
That is a very good question. Probably take out as C has to do grades tonight for his classes.

(2) Have you ever been stung by a bee or a wasp?
No! *knocks on wood*

(3) What time do you go to sleep every evening?
Around 11:30

(4) What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
Choc chip mint, but only if it's green. I won't eat it if it's white. I don't care if it's only mising the green dye. So, if that's unavailable, I go for pumpkin pie (in season...like now!) or Ice cream cake flavor...with the crunchies. Or if I'm home, it's Ben & Jerry's...personal fave is the brownie sundae one.

(5) If you could have one power, what would it be?
The ability to (selectively) read minds. Not all minds, just tune in to certain people whenever I want, and have like a radio dial so I can switch the stations...That would be awesome.

------------------------------------------------

I am obsessed with all things Jersey Shore related, especially if Snooki or DJ Pauly D are involved. So, I apologize in advance, but it's only 18 seconds long. :)

--------------------------------------------------------

One of the things I don't understand is how my body processes alcohol. Like, it doesn't make sense. Also, how some things don't occur to guys as they would do girls.

So Friday night, I get off the train and C picks me up,...and tells me that his friend J is in our apartment. I don't care- J's a cool guy- until I walk into my apartment. It is a wreck. And C had off all day. Actually, C had off for 2 days, and the first day he spent doing nothing (which is fine- I would've done the same) and day 2 he did a couple errands and nice stuff like dishes. But...if you know your friend is coming over...wouldn't you straighten up at least a little?? I mean, it was like he didn't even seee the mess! And of course, I'm all embarrassed, but it was too late. *Sigh.*

So I chilled for a little, then we went out for C's bday at a nearby bar. C doesn't like to make a big deal out of his bday. In fact, his bday was last week and he didn't even send an email to his friends about going out for a few drinks until this week. And, our friends live all over the place. So we get there, and eventually 2 other people come, but that was it.

And I was upset/mad.

I mean, he sent the email to more than a few people. He sent it with a week's notice. And, we make a point to attend everyone else's everything- bdays, engagement parties, weddings, child's bday parties, no reason parties- everything, so it's pretty shitty that they didn't make the same effort. Of course I didn't mention it to C, because I didn't want him to feel the same way I was especially since he really didn't seem to mind at all. But I was pretty pissed. Especially at the girl who said she wasn't feeling well. Because not only did we got to her reception here for her destination wedding barely 2 months ago, we also went to Mexico for her wedding. Her bday was about a month later, and C was dealing with his toe (story coming soon) and he had a cold. So I really feel like she was bs'ing and didn't want to come because C was sick for her bday party. And yes, I do think she's that petty. Especially since we found out that Sunday-Tuesday she was partying it up in Atlantic City with her girlfriend....and then she's suddenly too sick to come out for a few drinks by Friday? I'm not buying it. But whatever, that's just me.

It was fun nonethless. We were with good people, no drama or bs, and drinks. But then the next morning, I wake up with a hangover. I couldn't have had more than 5 beers. I know I'm little, but usually I can handle 5 Jack and Cokes,...and then  have a hangover. But only a few beers? Crazy!

So I nurse my hangover all day, because by nighttime we're heading to a friend's wine and cheese party. That was lots of fun. Well, until the end when I made a minor social faux pas which I will blame on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol! I even got hit on by one of the guests...yeahhhh I still got it!

I woke up today- after having more than a few glasses of wine- and no hangover! Sweet. I still barely did anything all day- watched a bunch of movies, went grocery shopping, and did some laundry- and it was wonderful.

Hope everyone else had a great weekend!

Almost time for some fun!

1. If you could have any talent and turn it into an occupation, what would it be?

I think fashion designing or wedding planning would be fun. Though today I saw someone listed as a "Flirtation Coach" ...what? I'd be down for that!

2. Would you rather have a house at the beach or a cabin in the woods?
Neither, I like living in a suburb and going to the city. But if I had to choose...beach house.

3. Is there any meaning or reasoning for the names you chose for your child/children?
No children, sorry!

4. What is your guilty pleasure? (I know we've done this one before, but I'm guessing people's "guilty pleasures" change frequently. At least, mine do!)
It was Jersey Shore, but it's over. :( I hate Sister Wives, but I can't stop watching...like a train wreck! And blog- hopping...C hates when he's around and I'm not paying attention to him because I'm reading blogs!

5. Do you live in a house that is deep cleaned or straightened?
Who has time for "deep cleaning" anymore? Sorry, I work full time...we're lucky if we keep it straightened up. That's a weekend chore.

Tonight: Carl's bday drinks at Dublin Square! Can't wait to see some friends we haven't seen in awhile.

Tomorrow: Wine and Cheese party at my friends, The Rays. Should be interesting- I've never seen their place. I've never been to one of their parties (unless you count a brunch a few months ago, which I don't), and I don't even remember the last wine and cheese party I went to. But it includes 2 of my favorite things, so it is sure to be awesome!

Sunday: Either Carl's cousin's daughter's birthday party, or going to see Grandma. We aren't sure if the birthday party is this Sunday or next.

Happy Weekend!

Tunery Tuesday: Marina and the Diamonds- Oh No!

I found out about this UK singer from Amy over at Turn to the Music. She (Marina, not Amy) kind of reminds me of Lily Allen with her "intellectual pop." I'm sure this won't be the last time she featured on my Tunery Tuesdays. Enjoy!
