Check it out.. the next installment in the Chirstmas In July gallery:

So after lunch - yakdog and I venture over to BestBuy to see what I can get for my money. After the hard sell from the salesman (i swear i know him from somewhere and its not from "the list"), i decided on a Panasonic 25 inch idiot box. After verifying that Steve could indeed lift this monstrosity, we set out for the parking lot.

What a bad plan this was. After trying the back seat, the trunk, and the front seat - we realized that stuffing this monstrosity in the car was similar to a birth in reverse of an oversized watermelon in to a midget's ass. We budged and pushed and shoved and while I gave my less than helpful directions - steve only succeeded in drenching his shirt in sweat.

Steve finally grabbed a cutting implement from the trunk and he ripped open the box in a fashion so that he could fit it in the front seat with the seat turned back all the way. It took 10 minutes to pull that one off.

Thankfully, the tv took all of 3 minutes to figure out andf set up once it arrived in my house and then i was all set to enjoy a tv that was 75 percent bigger than my old one. It will take some time to get used to the huge size of the picture (some people are not meant to be viewed at this resolution), but it's totally workable :)

Big thanx to yakdog for making it all possible.

So I convinced yakdog to help me in my quest for a television set. We went to lunch first and discussed our future plans as man and wife. Its a happy pasttime which involves Steve being gleeful about the dowry he receives for marrying me (my parents really really wanna get rid of me) and me describing our wedding at the Fantasm convention. I plan on wearing some sort of white (or cream colored to follow "tradition") rubber outfit. Unfortunately for my body - i would have to wear some sort of boob inserts.

Steve reveals this nugget of knowledge in the middle of my narrative:
"A girl shouldn't have to wear fake boobies on her wedding day"

I nearly spit out my tea on that one.

My tv has just switched off. It just blanked out. No picture.. nothing. I think the tube is burned out. I asked someone what this means.. they told me that it means i need to get a new tv. Gah.

So i guess I know what my mission is today. I gotta find someone to help me shop for a new TV. Scratch that. I need to get someone to help me carry it and then hook up the cables and stuff cuz I am a wimpy girl when it comes to electronics.

yakdog? weswilson? one of you guys off work today and wanna prove how strong ya are? There is a free lunch involved :)

Yep, I'm a gallery posting fool...Here is the second installment of Christmas in July

OMG!!!

that's all i gotta say... for um... something..

So i SLAVED away all weekend... and have come up with the Christmas in July photos... here is the first installment.



Phrases that stuck with me this weekend:
"You'll find out later"
"You're next"
"Ted Bell's Steakhouse: You'll wanna put our meat in your mouth"

:)

Hooray for some of you. yakdog is 2 for 2 on these things. And some of you (circlek?) had talked to me already and knew. And then there are those of you that still seem to think i was going to conventions at 15. I even said last poll that I started going when I was seventeen. I didn't even know steve when I was 15. Chuckles go to those peeps for thinking that I dont' feel the world revolves around me anymore. That date hasn't come yet (smirk)

And now the reasons why i had the nose job ( Read more...Collapse )

Time to play "Name that Silly Anniversary That's Only Important to Dawn"



I'll have the answers up as soon as i get back from lunch with mom. We are going to Chili's to see yakdog. Momn leaves today for Colorado and won't be back for a week. Woohoo... party at mom's. Well maybe not.

Whose watching the latest real life slop - Big Brother 3 with me?

I know I am not the only one -- just the one of the only ones that's admitting to it.

yakdog called up after giving his shift to someone else around 7:30 and the pull of not interacting with my TV and actually going out to socialize was too great. We knew that bardiva wasn't working that nite and figured she would be at the Jazz Factory celebrating her first day at work with her co workers. We were wrong.

So one calzone and a few beers later - we headed over to Humphreys to see if maybe she picked up another shift... nope. So then we called up thorny and made him hang out with us.

We all met up over at weswilson's house to see if wes had gotten off work. Nope. So we hung out with lunatikl for a bit while my cell phone charged up and then headed to Fridays for some trivia. Maybe steph was over there. Nope. Steph, where did you go? we missed you.

Trivia was fun. I got Steve to sign up to get players plus points so he can look geeky like the rest of us. I am up to 137K since at one point in my life - i lived off multiple choice questions and happy hour. It seems that they never reset your account or delete it. Go me.

And then I got to talking to the people beside me. And they told me something disturbing. They said i looked like Ann Coulter. I apparently have her mannerisms and her hairstyle. And then they said I had her smirk. That's when I got mad. This is MY smirk, dammit. She is emulating ME. We left shortly before the squabble became a story that ended with "... and then we all went to jail."

I really don't like being compared to someone that is for executing retarded people. I might kick cats on a whim (no, not your cat) - but I do have some shred of decency. Gah.
