I like ice cream!

The other day when I came home for lunch, I was STARVING. But sadly, there was no food to be found. Mom told me to eat a Lean Cuisine frozen dinner, which I said was too small, but she said I could eat something else after I was done. I reluctantly agreed, and when I was done with the dinner, I still had the problem that we have no food. So I had a huge bowl of ice cream. I just love the irony. I had a Lean Cuisine meal and ice cream. hee hee.

I have a friend that has been my friend for over a decade. I was friends with her and her husband before they even met. Now she has filed for divorce. Sometimes I feel like there's no point in trying to get married because it never works out. But she's agreed to go to therapy rather than just getting divorced, so maybe there's hope after all. *sigh* The whole thing just makes me sad.

I had something else I was gonna say, but now I can't remember what. This happens to me everytime I go to blog, dammit.

Ethan's dad and stepmom miss him terribly. They really want him to come back up there. But they are willing to live with the agreement. They're just having a hard time with it.

Man, this post is a downer. Remember at the beginning, when I was saying that it's funny that I had a lean cuisine dinner and some ice cream? Remember that? Huh? That was pretty funny, huh? Ah, good times.


This afternoon, my boss came up to me and asked, "When are you leaving today?" Now how awesome is it that I have reached a point in my life where I can basically set my own hours? Don't get me wrong, I couldn't just say, "Hey, I'm taking two weeks off, see ya on the flip flop," but if I go to my boss and say, "Hey, I need Tuesday off," or "I'm tired of working, I'm leaving early today," his response is usually, "OK." How cool is that? If there's lots of work due then he might tell me I have to work Saturday or come in early some days to make up for it, and of course I'm paid by the hour, so it's in my own interest to work more, but still! That's why it's four o'clock and I am home already. Which is totally sweet.

I have a new guilty pleasure. I the time that I've been sick and forced to stay home more (also due to Ethan's return) I have discovered "So You Think You Can Dance?" Now normally I avoid so called "Reality TV" but for some reason, this show has drawn me in like dirty magazines beckoning to a teen aged boy. I have my favorite guy and girl even. My favorite guy is Benji, an adorable (in a puppish way) Mormon boy from Salt Lake City who's recently returned from his mission. He's always smiling and having fun, and he's an awesome dancer. He can be serious if the dance calls for it, too, not like some of the OTHER dancers who are ALWAYS smiley. I find that annoying. My favorite girl is Natalie. She is hot hot HOT. She has an awesome body, and she has an amazingly beautiful face, with wide eyes and a wide smile, but she's also humble and takes the judges criticsms as they are intended and incorporates their advice into her dance. This week they got paired together, and it was AMAZING! I totally loved it. I loved Benji's old partner Donyelle, who is a full figured and gorgeous girl, with mad dancing skills, but I just like Natalie a little better for some reason. There are other people I like, but those are my favorites. So. . .yeah. I watch reality tv now. Weird.

Uh oh...I guess it's okay as long as you don't become one of "those" people. Reality TV freaks give me the wiggins.

We've been having trouble watching TV lately, because we're not working, so we never know what day of the week it is. I did watch both Top Chef and Food Network's Next Star (or whatever it was called). I liked Top Chef and watched that the whole way through. I guess if there is a reality show for every conceivable human interest, you're bound to find one you like. Josh is just waiting for "Battle of the Magic Nerds" or "America's Next D&D Master."

We ate ice cream yesterday. Do you watch South Park? There's one where they are stuck in a bus and it's supposed to be like a flashback episode, but they modified the end of each flashback to include ice cream, and each kid ended his flashback with "Now that's what I call a sticky situation!" That's how I want to remember my life.

I went to Amy's once. I had chocolate ice cream with marshmallows. The marshmallows were stale.
