All about the ring
Oct 1st
Earlier this week, for what constituted our “weekend” on Monday and Tuesday, Snackpants decided to take me to Savannah for a little getaway. We had an awesome time wandering around the city, being tourists, and exploring many of the local pubs, of which there are a great many.
Monday night we ended up in Kevin Barry’s Pub on River Street where we found ourselves sitting at the bar with a party of drunk middle-aged guys. There were about 8 of them and we later found out that they work for a company that sells sewer pumps and had budgets due the next day so they were drinking away their worries because they were not going to hit their sales goals.
As the night wore on, one of them got slowly more and more drunk while the rest of them went home to get some sleep, and this one guy kept hitting on the waitress at the bar. Turns out she has a cop boyfriend, though he continued to pursue her anyway. In an effort to boost his morale and “help him out”, Snackpants made the following comment:
“It’s only serious if there’s a ring.”
Excuse me, what?!?
He tried to save himself after this one, but the damage had been done. That’s how you define serious, Mr. Snackpants? I can see we are going to have some problems then. Being that we live in a military town, I don’t think I would have too much trouble finding another casual boyfriend (or two) since I appear to be mistaken about the commitment level in this relationship.
When you come home to find me gone, having run off with some 19 year old recruit, remember that you dug your own grave with this one! Then you’ll recall the immortal words of the great Beyonce: “If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it.”
Dance it out for me, Ava!
**Note: I am not actually going to find another (or more) “casual” boyfriends, in case you were seriously worried. I threatened Snackpants with a post about this one so here it is.
**Edit: I know he is getting a lot of crap about this one. I also know he didn’t mean it the way it came out. Blame it on the 3 Irish Car Bombs. I do.
Dragon*Con 09 review – coming soon
Sep 8th
So, because I have WAY too much work to get done tonight, I am taking the time to post that in the coming days, I will recap my impressions of Dragon*Con this year. So be warned. There may even be photos posted, since I took so freakin’ many.
My new adult sippy cup
Aug 14th
I admit that I am a huge nerd, and while I was wandering aimlessly around Target today, I came across this bottle and decided I had to have it.
It’s like a spill-proof sippy cup for adults. Does it get any better than that??
Made by Thermos, it is even more awesome than I expected it to be. Of course, it’s not a water bottle. That would be discrimination against other beverages. So it’s called a “hydration” bottle. Made of double insulated stainless steel. And I am pleased to say that it really does what it claims to do.
When you push the little grey button on the lid, it snaps open to reveal a straw, which is then pinched shut when you close the lid so there is no leaking. Hence, spill-proof sippy cup. Of course I had to hold the bottle upside down to test this out, because I am that mature. And of course, it did not leak all over the place. Which was good, cause I was not in the mood to clean up that mess!
This bottle is made of pure awesome. It claims to keep cold things cold for up to 12 hours. I managed to test it for 3 hours today before I ran out of green tea, but it stayed cold the whole time. And the absolute best part was that the outside of the bottle does not feel cold, and it does not sweat! No more rings all over the place or getting your hands damp every time you want a drink. Pure. Awesome.
The only thing that would make it better is a carrying hook or strap of some kind. Though, since it does not sweat, I have zero problem putting it inside a bag with other things, so it may not need one after all.
You know the first thing I thought when I saw it today? “This would be perfect for my booze at Dragon*Con!”
I am such a nerd.
Reality Check!
Aug 2nd
I am the first to admit that I watch trashy television. And I blame it on Snackpants. I have no idea what show we first began watching, but it has become like a sickness since then. And VH1 is the disease!
Now, there are a lot of channels with “reality” shows on these days, but I have to say that I believe VH1 to have the trashiest shows. Most recently we finished watching “Daisy of Love” and “Charm School” featuring the cast offs from “Rock of Love Bus” and “Real Chance of Love”. The guys on Daisy were all tattooed, pierced, guy-liner wearing, disease-laden emo musicians. The girls in Charm School were all trashy, alcoholic, prostitute types who can’t imagine why they can’t find love. Gee, I wonder. And I predicted the winners from both shows, cause I am that awesome.
A new series starts up today, called “Megan Wants a Millionaire” and “Real Chance of Love 2″ premieres tomorrow. “Tool Academy 2″ will start at the end of the month. I know they are trashy. I know exactly what I can expect from them and the drama that will ensue. And I cannot look away!!
I feel like I need to disinfect my eyes each time I watch one of these shows. And yet the morbid fascination of watching the disaster each week draws me back in. I may be a VH1 reality show addict. I think I need help.
July 27th? Not this year!
Jul 27th
Though I have absolutely no authority in the matter, except in my own mind, I have decided that July 27, 2009 shall be stricken from the record books and we will just do it all over tomorrow and hope for a better day.
Except for the cold hands doctor. We shall not redo that tomorrow. 
Good night, people! For today was only a figment of your imagination…
