favorite purchases

I love the feeling of purchasing something so epic that it takes all my self control to go on with my normal life when all I really want to do is sit on my front porch and wait for the postman to bring it.  I have had that feeling twice this year.  The first was when I bought this:

Yup, I know, super freaking awesome but a new package arrived today that gives it competition for the title of "Best Purchase of the Year."  

5 boxes of the most delicious bread ever.  Olga flatbread from Olga's Kitchen.  It was by far the best place to eat at the mall when I was growing up.  I think people actually might have cried when it closed.  Its still open in Michigan. (I have definitely thought about a trip to michigan only for Olga's)  Now I can make their delicious three cheese sandwiches whenever I want.  I don't think anything will wipe the smile off of my face today.

Overheard at...

The Las Vegas airport.

"I've been on Irish national television.  You can google me."

A loud douche to a group of guys he had just met.  The best part is that when they tried to google him they couldn't find him.  I had to bite the inside of my mouth to keep from laughing.

Overheard at...

The Oakland Airport outside baggage claim.

"You hurt my feelings first by telling me to move my feet because you wanted to sit down.  The whole trip was fine then you didn't want to sit next to me."

I would like to say the woman was 12 years old but she was around my age.

Hunger Games Hunger Games Hunger Games

I might be on a Hunger Games high right now but it seems to me that Starbucks is getting into the spirit.

enough already

Is Lent over yet???? I gave up cussing and exclamation points. The cussing doesn't bother me but I want my exclamation points back.

Overheard on ...

a Southwest flight from San Diego to Oakland.

 "I grew up in Danville but we would trick-or-treat in San Leandro"

 HUH???

my future

Does anyone remember that episode of Mama's Family when she became addicted to the home shopping network?  Her family held an intervention and beat her with newspapers when she tried to order anything from the television.  I think that might be in my future.  Its amazing what you can learn during a 3am infomercial or on one trip to the "as seen on tv" store at the mall. I love them.  I have a feeling that if I ever have grandkids there will be plenty of forever lazies and bra extenders in their futures.

Overheard at ...

IHOP in Maui (I know, don't judge)

"She puts Cameron Diaz to shame.  Jennifer Lopez is so elegant."

The icing on this beautiful cake is that the woman who said that was wearing a Bret Michaels style bandana.  

Fail

I was excited to write about my adventures working on a cruise ship for 5 months. After less then 48 hours on the ship it was made clear to me that a cruise ship was not a good place of employment for someone who gets motion sickness. oops. Oh well, I can now add "Jumping ship" to the list of things I've done in my life.
