MCOQueen's Ramblings

I woke up to a phone call from my dad.  He wanted to know if I could pick him up from work today since Mom had the car because she had a p.t. appointment.  I said, "Sure!"  He also asked if I wanted to stay for dinner.  Today was guy's night at Adib and my apartment.  No girls allowed.  I could have stayed in my room but I decided to just chiil over at my parent's place until 10pm.  I actually sat down and watched television for recreation, not because I had to.  I watched "40 dumbest celeb quotes ever" on VH1.  I couldn't believe some of the stupid stuff celebs have said.   I also saw a preview for a special on the discovery channel called, "Inside the Womb: multiples".  Apparently they've put a camera inside women who're expecting multiples in order to see how the babies interact with one another in the womb.  From the preview, it looked really cool.  I set it to record on my parents' DVR.  It airs this Sunday from 8pm-10pm on the Discovery Channel.  I don't have cable at my place. 

Because I knew my brother was going to need the dining room table tonight, I moved my puzzle which is sitting on a big piece of cardboard (like you would use for a science project) onto my bed.  I didn't really have anywhere else to put it.  When I got home tonight, Vita was sleeping on top of my puzzle.  I could not stop laughing.  When I went to move the puzzle back to the dining room table, I bumped the cardboard and basically dislodged several pieces I had already put together and dropped several pieces on the floor.  I think an expletive came out of my mouth at that time.  Bad me!  Bad! 

I had spent several hours today reading, "Heiress for Hire" by Erin McCarthy.  She is a chick-lit writer.  Although, her latest books are supernatural chick-lit/romance books.  "Heiress for Hire" is to freaking funny!  It is also very sweet.  I really like this author.  Great, ANOTHER chick-lit author that I like.  I have too many favorite authors already as it is.  Oh well.  It's not a bad hobby to have. 

Oh, I also read Beauty is the Beast Volume 5 which is the last one in the series.  I liked it.  I was a little confused at the end until I saw the "Family Portrait" part at the very end of the graphic novel.  I also read the last book in the "From Far Away" series.  It was good.  I'll have to remember to bring both on Friday for insignia_void  .  Well, it's getting late.  I think I'll re-read "Heiress for Hire" and then go to bed.  Later.

Adib, Ayanna, and I played Tennis on the Wii last night.  Ayanna and I played doubles against Adib.  He kicked our butts!  Eventually his right arm started hurting so he switched to his left arm.  It took a couple of games, but we finally beat him!  Now we just need to defeat him with his right hand!  My shoulder and arm are killing me!  I'm currently at work right now.  Every time I lift my arm to a VCR it hurts!  It's a pretty light night in Satellite.  A few feeds, some commercials, a few promos and etc.  We're airing the BCS National Championship game tonight. 

I might actually be able to get some reading in tonight.  Oh, I'm about halfway through the glow in the dark jigsaw puzzle I'm working on.  It looks really cool in the dark.  Adib's thinking of having a Wii party once a month.  He'd just invite friends over and everybody would play.  Sounds cool to me. 

Oh, well, back to the grind.

Ayanna and I went to Souper Salad and had lunch.  Then we went to Barnes and Noble at Brier creek.  I bought 2 books.  I couldn't resist!  I also bought a book at Wal-mart.  I also bought some glow in the dark jigsaw puzzles.  Yes, I gave into that temptation as well!  Ugh!  I did manage to go to earthfare and get some stuff from there as well.  I've been playing with my jigsaw puzzle for the past two hours.  My back and neck hurts now. 

I can't wait for American Idol to start as well as "The Dresden Files".  It's almost around that time when my shows will start airing new episodes again.  Yay!  House rocks! 

I'm currently chatting with my mom on the phone right now.  Her first week back at work went well.   

I have two desk calendars I forgot to start using for this year.  I'm going to start using them right now!  

Later.
