Quote of the day:

You know you might be in the South when you hear the following conversation:

Dad: "Are you and so-in-so still an item?"
Patient: "Naw, man, we broke up over deer-huntin' last year. I told her that was the final straw!"

Never a dull moment up there.

Buttons

Great news everyone: I got the job at St. Joe. I'll be the AP English teacher next year! I can't wait for the Fall; this whole receptionist thing is not for me. So anways, this Friday I am going up to the school to look over curriculum and find out what NOVELS I will be teaching next year! (Dorks!) Also, let me share with you my interview expereince. So, I decide to wear my brown pants and this new white blouse I bought especially for the summer. Call it my new "summer shirt" if you will. I get out of the car and head to the school and I start to notice a slight draft. And, yes, my bottom button had come off. then I look over and the button on my sleeve had come off too. AND THEN I notice that the middle button (the most important button of all) is bearly hanging on by a thread! I am so self concious as I am sitting in the principal's office. Good thing he offered me the job right away BEFORE my clothes started falling off entirely. How embarassing!

Old Navy: Crazy?

So, I went shopping this weekend with Holly and Stacey and made several EXCITING purchases. Purchase #1 will be kept a secret until a later date. Purchase #2 includes two for one long length tank tops from Old Navy and two for one brightly colored t-shirts (Summer 2007, here I come!). We are standing in line at the register, and the cashier hands us some scratch and win game pieces--each card is a winner. I totally won a free bag of Jelly Bellys. It says in fine print, "Subject to verification; see back for details." I'm thinking, "Must be 18 to win; must be accompanied by an adult," perhaps. But, no. Not quite. It did say this, though...

Canadian Residents: You must correctly answer the following skill-testing question to claim your prize/discount. If claimant is under the age of majority, a parent/legal guardian may answer the skill-testing question on their behalf: (10x4)+(3x2)-10+____"

WHAT??!! Is this a joke??! Is this some sort of discrimination against Canadians who are bad at math? Fiona, I am offended for you!

Me and Jesse

So, I decided that I need to find "The One," you know.....my personal hair stylist. One person to do my hair from here on out. None of this switching back and forth, trying new people, changing salons. I am ready to settle down in a committed relationship with a hair dresser; I am ready to be a one-stylist kinda of woman. So, I had my appointment today with Jesse. I told him I wanted layers in the front to frame my face, and I wanted to keep my long hair because I just discovered the hot rollers and loved my huge movie-star curls. My only problem was that my layers in the front were so long that it made my hair flat and the front never wanted to curl the way it used to. His response to this was, "No offense, but...." (already, I am reconsidering my feelings about Jesse) "The movie-star look you are going for is not very realistic. It's all pretty at first, but then that style doesn't last for very long before the weight of your hair will pull it right down. You need to go shorter..." Why do you have to be such a hater, Jesse -- Can't you just a let a girl live The Dream?!?!

(Matt: Stop freaking out!!!! It will be way grown out by the time you get home in July....)

So he took a couple inches off, and now I have swoopy bangs! YAY! I don't know if I will keep these bangs the next time, but they are defiantly fun and just the quasi-drastic change I was looking for. So, I think I will keep Jesse. We work well together. He knew I wanted swoopy-bangs before I even said it. However, he is a fan of the flat iron, and I am attached to my hot rollers and curling iron. I guess every relationship has it's minor adjustments...

Hot Rollers

I have recently discovered the Hot Roller. Thanks to Danielle and her expert opinion on the topic of long hair care, I now have a wonderful set of Conair hot rollers. Now, my hair looks HOTT (hence the name, I guess). I highly recommend them. Pictures will be posted soon.

I know this is minor, but i have recently rediscovered the Town House cracker. It is nothing but, light, buttery, flaky deliciousness. I could eat a whole sleeve right now. They are entirely underrated.

Did she really say that?

So, I ran into one of the crazies today. She came into the office, and we were chit-chatting, and then she goes, "Well, you just graduated from high school, didn't you?" And I say, "No ma'am, I graduated in 2000." And she goes, (....wait for it.....) "*GASP!!!* Oh my!!! Well you need to get married and start having babies! Do you know that your fertility rate drops by 13% every year after you reach 21?!?!?!?!" .....Are you kidding me?...... First of all, I feel this is an improbable statistic. I am no math major, but doesn't this mean that you would be incapable of reproducing by the time you are 30? And second of all.....did you really just say that? Out loud? To me? In front of all those people in the waiting room? (Mandy, where were you when I needed someone to laugh with me!)
