IKEA

I don't know how to explain to Mike my extreme love of all things IKEA, boys don't really seem to understand the IKEAlove that most girls I know have. When the IKEA catalog comes I can't help but grin and clap my hands because IT'S HERE! It's just like when I was a little kid and the Christmas JC Penny catalog arrived, I would just stare at the toy section, flipping those shiny pages as I imagined all the barbies I could own.

And when I go to IKEA (sigh), oh how I love it! I kinda wish I could just throw everything I have away and replace it all with IKEA stuff. Mike and I went there this weekend and I could stroll through the top floor for hours if allowed. Or just move in to one of the spaces and really see "what it's like to like in 536 square feet". We did manage to get a dresser for me and a desk for Mike, and a lamp and other fun stuff. But the ultimate frosting on the cake of wonderfullness IKEA was when as we were driving home we passed a building site right around the corner from IKEA. I almost teared up in happiness.

They are building a Target there!

British Celebs

I must profess my undying love for British celebs and their gossip magazines. If you have not yet enjoyed these pleasures I implore you GO! GO to http://www.hellomagazine.com/ or http://www.ok-magazine.co.uk/ Their gossip magazines are so much better in the "I like to know about the lives of people I will never meet" way.

My current favorites are Kerry Katona and Jordan aka Katie Price Andre. Kerry is a former pop-star who was in Atomic Kitten but then it was found out she never sang any of their songs on their albums. She was married to a boy-bander, 2 kids later. Then she married a cab driver (!!!!) and had another kid, and she is preggers again. (Oooo speaking of that Knocked Up comes out on DVD today! Must buy!) ANNNNNNNDDDD she was allegedly held hostage by armed gunman in her own home in June. And she has been to the mental hospital and rehab in like the past year! And there are soooo many pictures. LOVE HER!

Next we have Jordan aka Katie Price Andre. She is a "glamour model" who got her start by being topless in the newspaper, like they had a page just for boobs in this UK paper. That was when she was Katie Price. So she has a mentally handicapped kid who was sired by a "footie ace" which in American is a soccer star. (We don't have those here) AND THEN she was on "I am a celebrity get me out of here" in the UK where she met Peter Andre. He was a past his prime pop star from Australia by way of Cyprus. So now she is Katie Andre, they had 2 more kids, most recently a girl named Princess Taiimai. (no, really) And she has a show that is now on E! here, "Katie & Peter".

And I heart her as well. I think it because they are celebs because they let EVERYONE into their lives in OK magazine and are happy to get the attention. They are what celebs are supposed to be, they know the fans made them and can break them too. And they are both LOADED because of this. Kerry Katona just bought her cabbie husband a Lamborghini and she is going to get herself a baby blue one. How can you not love these people!

Mexicana

So a few things have changed since I last made an entry, 1) I withdrew from school and I am happy about it. 2) Mike and I can stand each other 24/7. Our trip to Cancun started very well, Mike got a white stretch limo to take us to the airport! (Hello!) The hotel was an adult only place and I am guessing that they thought the people who would stay in the hotel would know each other very well as there was no door on the bathroom. And the wall into the bathroom was a window. I love Mike but I don't want him to know me "that" well, and I would rather now know how "that" well either. I swiftly executed the "porch rule", meaning we had to go to the porch when the other had to do stuff.

A lot of the ladies there went topless, a lot. I was a rare one who kept my top on. We had a good time, very relaxing. And we discovered pretty much every place in Cancun where the Red Sox and the Patriots were playing. Phew!

School is annoying

I had to get to work this morning at 7am to be the "early" person in my office. I am so tired I might fall over where I sit. Dude.

So I had class last night and it was annoying, I think I need to be in a special class with people who aren't idiots. If these people end up being nurses, RUN! So genius in the second row likes to mumble responses to what the instructor is saying, there are no questions being asked, no she is just blessing the world with what she has to say that no one can understand. Awesome.

I talked to my Mom about it and she said that nursing school does suck and there are always going to be people in your class who you want to strangle. I wasn't thinking homicide, but maybe a good whack to the back of the head while saying "What the fuck do you think?". No princess we aren't going to learn how to read EKGs, nope not ever, that's why we are training to be nurses so we can not do anything, WTF!

Thankfully Mike and I leave for Mexico tomorrow so I can do nothing but sleep, swim and drink. Oh and eat, and re-apply sunscreen a lot.

In-a-ppropriate

As many people know I think inappropriate thoughts, mostly they are involving a runny, witty commentary in my head about people around me who suck. These people aren't aware of this suckiness but because I would like to survive the trip to work I keep this running funniness in my head. This morning I took the commuter rail from Norwood as I stayed at Mike's house last night. (Living in sin, living in sin la la la la la). It's 7:05am I have not had coffee this morning and a woman wearing a gold and jeweled barrette in her 80's hair got in and sat 2 seats in front of me, this = morning ruined as time traveler from 1987 was on her cell phone and talked the entire train ride. I hate her.

Get to Ruggles station, get on shuttle bus to work, driver man has the oldies station on; which I do enjoy. What I do not enjoy is freak show two seats to my right HUMMING EVERY GODDAMN OLDIES SONG. Yes lady, I know you probably shook your tail feather to all of these tunes at the soda shop, however SHUT UP.

I have class tomorrow and so help me god if that troll kid sits near me I will have to throw my pen at him, wait, I might not get my pen back because it will get stuck in his troll hair.

On a non-cynical note, I got a mani-pedi because Mike and I leave for Mexico on Thursday, my nails are purrtttyyyy.

I decided to stick with nursing school even though I just got a promotion at work, phhbblltttt. (that is me sticking my tongue out) Some of my classmates are very nice and others...dude. Seriously, there is the one who NEVER shuts up, NEVER. When it is her turn to talk, well she embraces that and runs with it and then talks about stuff that no one cares about. Then we have little man. I just plain don't like him, 1) he is drumming constantly-his pencil, his pen, his fingers ALL THE FRIGGIN TIME. He was doing it last night as someone was giving us orientation. Dude SHUT UP. And he is small, and short, with troll hair; he asks questions that the instructor does not know the answer to, like who invented the color green. And don't even get me started on the Haitian kid, no one can understand what he is saying and when we finally do, it still don't make no sense. He is another one who likes to ask questions that the instructor does not know the answer to: "so if a patient can not make urine and I try help him, what happen?" WTF! I'm guessing he might pee!

See this is why I worked with dead people for 4 years.
