About me:
Check out my vacation widget!! I think all of the outbound links are blocked by MySpace, but you can listen to my France and Italy music mixes... and if you want to see more, visit my vacation website at http://www.recentlyconsumed.com/europe
Catch me blogging at http://recentlyconsumed.com 2008 promises to be a little more calm. Exciting things that happened 2007: Lon & Roxy's space wedding, new job at Organic, 18 day trip to France and Italy in the fall, 2007 was pretty awesome. Typical life in the week of me = come home from the 9-5, sometimes get in a delicious dinner, bottle of wine, movie watching, fixing up the house, exercising, making love, working on websites, before going to bed way too late. Never get as much done as I like, but it doesn't matter because at least I'm spending time with Tom, who still makes me laugh until I cry after 2 years. Weekends = errands, housework, relaxing, seeing the family, and the going out to party with our buddies, usually in Ferndale ('cuz we can't get our friends to come to Canton or the flat suburb of dullness), sometimes in Chicago. Time goes by too fast... but we better enjoy it now, next time I turn around there are going to be babies and college funds and grandkids, yikes!!
Who I'd like to meet:
Friendships:
Reconnect with old friends, stay current with current friends, especially those that move to stinky Memphis and don't pay their phone bill.
Hey, you should check out one of my myspace friends "Pierogi Picnic" it is my friend Lydia from Chicago, she is making her own clothes and selling them. She has these really neat tee-skirt things that I thought you might like. I might order one from her once I have a job!
Y'know, I really did like WALL-E. I think I am cursed with being able to see everyones point when they bring things up, so the last reviews I read before the blog were somewhat negative and I got down on WALL-E... but there are just as many good points that maybe I did not express! Don't know why I felt I needed to explain! Whatever! See you soon...
I've been listening to the Bachelorette Party Mix CD you gave me. It's been a year since I've listened to it... and I don't think I listened to the whole thing. It is AMAZING!!! I started playing it on my way to and from work on Monday, it's Thursday and it still hasn't started over! Once again, AMAZING! Thank you soooooo much!
I think I know the clip you're talking about. I really love that man! I miss you too. There definately aren't any Marta's out here... at least none that I've found, and I doubt I will :(
Question: Is it me or do you love my hair?
Just kidding. I don’t really expect you to answer, silly - I know you love us both equally. That’s the name of my new song. Check it out. And while you’re on my page, you should leave a really flattering comment. For example, you could say, “White Gold, your glass is always half beauti-full. You have a certain glow about you. And it isn’t just skim deep. Wow…Wow. Wow. Wow.” You know, or something like that. Speak from the heart.
So you probably already know this, but the shitmovie site is over run with spam right now! I was thinking we should make more flyers for the site and hit the west coast with those bad boys... well at least LA... hope you are well, when do you get to come here for business?
How did your presentations go? You must be tired from being on the road snorting coke with groupies. Also, after I dropped you off the trains were all messed up and it took me almost 2 hrs to get home. I felt great the next day!
we will be in barcelona 10/15-10/19ish, then driving to Nice, probably stopping in Marseille. We leave on the 22nd. When are you going there? I wish we could cross paths!
Hey there! I'm doing alright down here. I'm trying to get enough money together to move to KY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I hope you have a great one and I'll get in touch with you soon :)
