it's a new day

no more whining, bitching, rantings, complainings whatever's about work related stuff...

i'm stickig to what's important:

my health & happiness
staying close to loved ones and friends
being positive and not dwelling on the negatives in life (ahem work)
not worrying about things that i cannot control

it's a new day and a new attitude

blah blah blah and oh yeah blah!

so my life is a wee bit chaotic and anxiety filled lately, not sure why, oh wait i do know why it's all connected to work.

u see about 2 wks ago it was casually mentioned that "hey, we don't currently feel that your living up to your potential so were going to move you to the dungeon aka downstairs, to another department where we feel u are better suited", thus leaving me highly confused and a little excited as i initally from the start wished to be in this position where they are moving me too, but yet at the same time hurt. make sense? probably not, but over that week my emotions were/are in turmoil and after that 1st brief encounter nobody has said boo to me about anything, thus my anxiety runs full throttle and i've become parnoid and a bit resentful. so finally about a 1 1/2 later i can't stand it anymore and corner my supervisor and ask wtf is up. i wanted to cry, scream as all these emotions needed to come out. although he couldn't really provide me with any more info than what i already knew it did somewhat make me feel better, and i do get a somewhat piddly raise, but, i'll happily take what i can get as we are lacking in funds right now.....

anyways

so that about brings me to date, i am now back with the intial company i started out with, they have yet to decide if i am offically moving to the dungeon, although i think it's inevitible as i really can't see how i can be the only person working from upstairs when everyone else is down....but whatever, what the fuck do i know??! i'm still highly confused and to top all that off i'm somewhat sick to my stomache today, or perhaps it's nerves....or i have once again caught the GD flu, as everyone and their dog has been freaking sick lately.

sigh

and did i mention my freaking head hurts too!

change is a good thing right? then why does it feel like the rug has been pulled out from underneath me? and that my gut feeling is that they want to stick me back on the main front lines, the dreaded "receptionist" position? overall i feel like i've been given the run around and i am quite tempted to search for another job, yet, they are so hard to find and i hate to start the whole procedure over again. and they do treat me somewhat good here, sometimes...despite the shitty bonus and the crap they've put me thru the last 2 wks

what to do, what to do

i need a drink, that's what i need, or a good cry, mabye both........

who would've thought...

you know back in 1994 my favorite show on the whole planet was "My So Called Life", i loved this show and everything about it, but, more importantly i loved Jared Leto who played the hot yummy love interest for Claire Danes, but even more sadly due to another new show Friends stealing the ratings this show was canned after only 1 awsome, life altering season.

ah the memories

i even had multiple posters, pics (swipped from a teen mag i'm sure) hanging/taped in my locker, one very similar to this in fact....
so what my question is how can one go from this, total, undeniable hotness to this????!!!!:

positively SCARY!!!! like what the hell has happend to you Jordan...ahem Jared i mean. i get that you probably didn't dig all the young screaming girls screaming at you and calling you a "pin up" but honestly did you have to go quite this far?? and i also get that your in some sort of punk rock band but still they have cute lead singers.....take the guy that fronts All American Rejects, he's totally yummy and doesn't look like he's a vampire reject.
sigh i miss the good old days

Popples


here's the best pic i came across, guess it was also a cartoon back in the 80's, the one i had was white and blue (i think), and one year for Christmas this was all i wanted
update: just found this over at Wikipeda
Popples were characters in a Saturday morning cartoon by the same name that aired in the United States from 1986 to 1987. They first appeared in a one-time Shelly Duvall special called "It's Popple Time", in which they were puppets and marionettes. The special went over very well, so it was decided to make a cartoon series with the same characters. Popples were created by Those Characters From Cleveland (TCFC), a subsidiary company of American Greetings, and the plush toys were manufactured by Mattel. The cartoon was produced by DiC Entertainment and LBS Communications in association with The Maltese Companies.
Popples resemble brightly colored teddy bears with long tails tipped with pompoms. They have pouches on their backs that can be everted, so they are in the pouches. The name "Popple" is a reference to the popping sound they make when unfolding themselves from such a ball. In the cartoon Popples commonly pull large items from their pouches that couldn't possibly fit inside, which presumably come from hammerspace.
The Popples live with a brother and sister, Billy and Bonnie. Billy and Bonnie think they are the only kids who have Popples until a neighbor family moves in and they have their own Popples, the Rock stars, Pufflings and babies. The Popples tend to come around and mess up whatever the kids are trying to do, such as if they are trying to brush their teeth the Popples end up spilling water, toothpaste and soap all over the bathroom. If the kids are trying to clean their rooms, the Popples come along, mess up the room even worse and then help them get everything back to normal just in the nick of time. The plot revolved around the children's efforts to hide the existence of the Popples from the adults around them.

when i was growing up...

a little trip down memory lane......

Golden Globes - the "good"

so i did end up having time today to run down my fav dresses of the night (a meeting was cancelled that i was supposed to have been in this afternoon), so, here we go!!

Honorable Mentions: St. Angelina herself, even though i'm still not really sure if i totally dug the dress (it was dark grey afterall) but needless to say she was still breathtakingly stunning, Ali Larter and Hayden Pinette from the show hero's which i still have yet to start watching and Hilary Swank



1st up is Reese Witherspoon, also recently split from her just as cute ex Ryan Phillippe, now cameron diaz should take notes, this is how you attend an awards show showing everybody that you are single and HOT! at first i hated the dress, but the more i looked at it i luv it, and her hair is smoking!! in fact i may just try to mimmick this the next trip to my salon...anyways my main point of focus here is her Red, yes RED shoes!!! so freaking hot & sexy and i so want a pair of these!! You go Girl!












next up is America's sweet heart America Fiera (i'm too lazy to google her and get the proper spelling), better known as Betty from the hit show Ugly Betty. now this is a girl that young women/girls should look up too and want to aspire too. she's a real women with curves and shape, and beautiful on the inside and out, and she pulls off this gown spectacularly. luv the color, luv how happy she is and way to go on snagging best actress in a comedy! you so deserve it












up next is Drew Barrymore, remember last year's show where she showed up not sporting a bra in a whore-en-dous green ensamble? so sad yet it's almost worth it to see her here like this. she looks AMAZING! the dress hugs her in all the right places and the healthy tan just makes her look so relaxed and flawless, luv everything about this look, here's to hoping she's on a comeback as i luv her from way back













i think this is Helen Mier? Meir?? can't remember, anyways, man if i look this good when i get up to her age.....wow, simply amazing, classsy, and perfect. the color is superb what else can u say really?


































and lastly, i've saved my favorite for last and it's none other than Jennifer Lopez, man would i love to be her for like a day, or better yet have access to her wardrobe for a day. geesh. she's just so gosh darn perfect it's almost sickening but yet you can't help but love her at the same time for channeling her inner goddess in this dress. the dress, the hair, it all is goregous! simply amazing

Golden Globe fashion run down

will start off with none other than the "bad" or "wurst" of the evening

honorable mentions go to: Vanessa Williams, Gillian Anderson, Jennifer Love Hewitt


who better to start off with than the diva herself, miss Beyonce, now not only is she really striking quite the "diva" pose here, and thinking that she is really working this gold dress, which of course hugs all her bootylicious curves, which normally would be a good thing but sadly this shiny gold number really doesn't do it for her, and neither does the tacky, icky blonde hair extensions, she looks like a fake plastic doll or something, it's just wrong on so many levels, sorry B but you get an F on this one













next up is recently dumped Cameron Diaz, oh boy, where to start here and be nice about it......hate the dark hair, it really needs to go, go back to your happy perky blonde days, and the dress, oh boy the dress, girl one would think where you were attending an awards show where your ex is going to be at, you would want to look amazing and make him green with envy, unfortunately for you i think u just confirmed why justin just dumped your ass....to many ruffles, the color is whore-en-dous, and yeah, it's just all around nasty













next up is nicolette sheridan from the not so much hit show (at least not for me, i haven't watched once this year...) Desperate Housewives, and that's about what she is Desperate, with a capitol D. she never, ever chooses a gown that i say, wow, she looks really amazing or better yet at least current and hip and in this decade, when was the last time a mermaid skirt was cool? the 80s?? ick i hate this dress so badly! time to move on














now i really wanted to give patricia arquette the benefit of the doubt, i love her show and i love her (she's a great actress and she's proud of her "normal" curvy figure) so i wasn't go to be all harsh on her ass, but frankly she deserves it. like what the hell. what's up with the black bra like top, and the icky, dull grey color, or better yet why if you know that you are curvy would you pick such an un-flattering dress? and to top all that off, her hair is well nasty to say the least, sorry girl but you could have done, way ,way better and where's your cute adorable hubby??












and lastly, i can't remember this girls name but i think she stares in the movie babel, if that tells you anything. but i just couldn't resist this, i mean she had to know that she would be put on several worst lists by chossing this, or perhaps that's what she was going for.....better to be on that than fall into the just "meh" category and be totally forgetten. overall i like the soft purple color but it stops there, the floating balls, the black shoulders and her bleach blonde hair really washes her out, in fact i almost feel somewhat sorry for her, but she had to know before she left her house what she looked like, so i don't, you my dear are by far the wurst dressed of the night, even beating out over the top beyonce in her golden shiny number

i have been challenged

yes my friends it is offical, i have signed up here at the office for.....

are ya ready


THE BIGGEST LOSER CHALLENGE aka BLC

and the topper of this cake is that not only did i sign up but i'm my teams team leader. which is really almost sort of comical but i'm hoping to turn it around and really focus on the task at hand.

right

but no really, i'm taking this very seriousily, honest and it's not really about losing the weight (well sort of) but more importantly living my life healthy and choosing healthy "food" choices, which i so do not do right now

so today is day 1

we have weighed and measured our selves and honestly i'm ok with what i way, which really scared the bee jebus out of me but i know what i have to do and by all that is holy i am going to do it.

yes my friends i have sworn myself off of mcdonald's

sob :(

but it had to be done

next step in the works is to actually cut french fries entirely from the diet but that one is going to be ruff , but i shall try, or at least only have them once a week

and i'm taking this all in stride, i'm going to try to exercise 4-5 times thru the week and i'm even contemplaiting purchasing one of thos pedometer counter thingies

so bring it on team 2, bring it on!!!

p.s. god i hope i can stick with this for the 3 months........
