Oh boy…it's Monday. Aren't you all just bursting with excitement? Yeah me neither.
Some cheese please
I am have a litany of whining going on today. I'm like the queen of whining. Luckily I haven't talked to many people today because otherwise all they would say was that I am whiny.
Here is a list of my top ten whines at the moment:
1. I'm tired, like exhausted to the point that I'm not entirely sure how I'm functioning.
2. I'm hungry, but not for anything that I have here at work.
3. I'm bored.
4. The day is already going too slow.
5. I miss my house, I want to be home in my house sleeping in my comfy bed.
6. I have an interview tomorrow for a permanent job at NPP and I 'm nervous and really don't want to do it.
7. My house smells funny and I can't figure out why.
8. My mom is out of town for a week and I miss her already, mostly because she's not checking email so I really don't have any way of talking to her besides the phone.
9. I CAPITAL H HATE talking on the phone, no really, please, I'm serious.
10. My back hurts and I don't feel good.
Weekend, if you want to call it that.
My weekend was long and busy. Seriously. I need a weekend from my weekend. Although I did make about 2 gallons of tomato sauce with tomatoes from our garden and it tastes really good! I used a Gordon Ramsey recipe. Mostly my weekend was consumed by our friends Justin and Whitney's wedding, which was a very nice affair. They had a "memory quilt" that they used in conjunction with their guest book which I thought was really clever. And they had a baked potato bar-which I wish I had thought of.
Smashy Smashy
Someone keeps jamming something up in the copier and when that happens it makes a high pitched squealing noise. They are doing it over and over. I'm about to go destroy something or someone.
Kendra
This was the big wedding episode! I cried thru the whole thing. I was so glad we only had to deal with Johnny Makeup for about one segment. Where did that strange gay little hobbit come from? France? I thought her dress was beautiful and her and Hank (Henry?) love each other so much I could hardly stand it.
Law and Order:CI
Good episode. I love seeing Goren and Eames. I watched it upstairs after dinner and it was really good. I'm sad the season finale is next week though, it feels like we jsut got started.
On the DVR
Seth has given me the go ahead to watch Top Chef Masters and Design Star by myself and to fill him in if anything cool happens-poor guy is so busy. He only watched Burn Notice this week! (Which was really good.)
El GATO de muerta!!!
I almost killed an orange striped kitten running across the highway on the way to work this morning. Okay that's not accurate, a orange striped kitten running across the highway almost killed me because I slammed on my breaks and swerved into oncoming traffic to miss it. I think I missed it. I don't want to know if I didn't, but if I didn't, I think I would be able to see so on my white car. And I checked.
Huh
I just inhaled an almond sliver from my Kashi Go Lean Crunch and almost died. I think it's a sign. Time to go!

The very purpose of existence is to reconcile the glowing opinion we have of ourselves with the appalling things that other people think about us.
FRIIIIIDAY! Uh! Working on a FRIIIIDAY! Ow!
Hey all! Man can you believe we made it here? I swear this has been the longest week yet. I know I say that almost every week, but this is especially true this week!
SYTYCD
I TOTALLY CALLED IT. Did I not? Check yesterdays post. Totally. But WAY WAY WAY more exciting was seeing last seasons favorite dances! Oh! Oh! Joshua! Twitch! Bleeding Love (I still do the head banging they do in that routine in the grocery store if the song comes on, Seth runs as fast as he can. Ask Pam, I've done it with her too) It made me realize what a much better season last season was compared to this one. There really is, like Nigel said, no superstars. I'll be sad when they don't have an excuse to bring back Season 4's dancers anymore, because they are phenomenal. Seriously. I'm sorry to all of you who are watching this season for the first time because if I had any wish for you, it would be that you watched last season first instead. Even Seth (last season was his first) agreed with me. But you know, it kind of goes in cycles. The season that Sabra won (3?)-I can't really remember anything about that season. But man, if you didn't know, Joshua (the one who did the Emmy nominated Samba dance by Dimitry) is completely UNTRAINED. He's a hip hop dancer from Houston. He used to be a football player and really liked his ballet class he had to take for football. He is AH-MAZ-ING. The end. He's my favorite dancer of all time. If they had an all stars show, I'd vote for him CONSTANTLY.
The Philanthropist
This was another good episode. It looks like it is expensive to shoot, but I'm hoping they renew it. It's a nice little summer show, like Burn Notice. I've really enjoyed it. And I think Jesse L Martin and the guy who used to play Marc Anthony in Rome are great in it. I like watching them. Next week they do a show together so I'm excited about that.
Torchwood
I totally started watching the fourth episode and almost had to turn it off because it was so good and I felt bad about watching it without Seth. But I kept going because I couldn't imagine waiting to see how the episode ended. If I'm by myself tonite-I'm totally finishing the series. I can't believe ***** died!!!
Weekend
This weekend we have Cheeto and Whitney's wedding. I just remembered I have a hair appointment at 12. ( I thought it was at 11) so I'll have to grab a quick lunch and then get my hair done and hopefully by the time I'm done my in laws will be in town and I won't have to worry too much about being alone. Even though I totally planned on sleeping in the car, I don't think I'm going to have that kind of time. So tomorrow will be a LONG day for me for sure. Hopefully I have enough energy Sunday to get to the picnic, my Dad said we could ride together, which I hoped he met he would drive, but I think it means he wants to ride in my new car! Which is fine, as long as he drives.
I'm not going to get home in time to go the rehearsal with Seth, so I think I'm going to make coleslaw and relax. That's a weird combo, isn't it??
Succubus Garden
Guess what!?!? We have been getting tomatoes out the kazoo! I'm so excited. I'm going to try and make tomato sauce to freeze this weekend. Here's hoping they turn fast enough and I find the time. I'm going to use Gordon Ramsey's recipe from the meatballs I made Seth because that junk was good! It also looks like we will get two big yellow peppers and some banana peppers before all is said and done. The pumpkins are going crazy and the watermelon is stretching out. The cucumbers seem to be mostly done, but we will see. I gave a bunch to Pam who came over on Monday. They were huge!
Everybody's free to feel good
Alright people-go and have a great weekend! I hope it's whatever you want it to be-quiet, fun, relaxing, high energy, productive-whatever's clever! See you all Monday!
Love (to be able to go home RIGHT NOW!),

Rock and roll is the hamburger that ate the world.
Oh Thursday, you are finally here. Thank goodness. Although like I said, I have a pretty stressful weekend ahead, so hopefully tonite is enjoyable with my hubby, at least I'm going to try and make it that way!
Family ROCKS!
So last night after my tearful pleas, my family showed up to help me clean my pit of a house. My mom and brother swooped in, did all the nasty work while I found cleaning supplies, moved tiny things, and held garbage bags, and left as quickly as they came. It was a very Amish moment. And it took less time then I think even they expected. We didn't build a barn, but we got my trash to the curb for pick up today, which is monumental to me. My mom even scrubbed my husband's shower from top to bottom, which I don't even do. Thanks guys, it means a lot-I love you!
SYTYCD
Here are my couple reviews:
Melissa/Evan-Meh, it wouldn't surprise me if they go home tonite. Melissa for sure. She totally is lacking that star quality that Nigel was talking about. I honestly can't even comment on their dances because I can't seem to remember either one of them really.
Janine/Ade- This was better, but Ade just came out with a huge naked picture scandal, I read on mediatakeout.com so it wouldn't surprise me if he got the boot tonite instead of Evan. I like Janine, I thought she did really well.
Brandon/Kayla-This was obviously the top couple of the night, I agree with Lil C that they were two powerhouses coming together. I loved the Stacy Tookey piece and I was surprised it didn't get more praise or reaction. I'll bet it gets nominated for an Emmy next year or something.
Men's Group-I LOVED this piece, I was surprised it didn’t get a better response from the judges.
Women's Group-I thought this was terrible.
Judges-I fast forwarded thru most of what they said. Mostly because I wasn't agreeing with a lot of what they said and I was pressed for time.
Cat-I love her, she looked fantastic tonite and she is just the sweetest thing ever, I'll bet she is like that in real life too.
My husband is stressed
My husband is about to have a nuclear brain meltdown. I wish I could help him, but it's mostly mathy stuff, so really I can't. I try to tell him jokes though. I hope that helps, and do things around the house that he used to do. Being a wife to a stressed out husband is hard! But I'm sure I'm not easy most days either. Have a clean house helps LOADS though.
On the DVR
Here are some shows on my DVR that still need to be watched:
The last two episodes of Torchwood (which I love)
The Philanthropist (more Jesse L. Martin please!)
The F Word
The last two episodes of Top Chef Masters
Obsessed
Design Star
It looks as if they may be there a while what with the busy weekend we have ahead.
Pain in my butt
My butt hurts. Like the top half of my right cheek. It hurts to sit and it hurts to walk. It's almost unbearable sitting here in this moment. The two positions I have that don't hurt are laying on my side with a pillow between my knees and laying on my stomach. Neither of those which I can do at work. Nuts. How many more hours in this day? Crap.
Ole' Ole' Ole' Ole
I feel like nachos. I gave my mom a coupon for a Mexican restaurant last night because I had 2 Mexican restaurant coupons! That's random. I'm not sure why I told you that.
Crazy Town
I'm obviously losing my mind, because of the pain. I'm going to go now before I start pulling down my pants to take a picture of exactly where my butt hurts for you all.

People who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like.
Happy Hump Day everyone! The weather is LOVELY in Nebraska right now, it's just perfect and I couldn't be happier! I want to go get my heavier duvets out and sleep like a monster under them. It also makes my after work naps just divine because I'm not sweating up a storm. The sheets on the bed however, in desperate need of a change, and if Seth makes it home early from his test tonite, like he says he will, I'm going to ask him to help me (he lifts the mattress for me-it goes much faster)
TV
Okay I didn’t really watch that much TV last night. I spent a while on the phone (boo) and then I did laundry and made dinner for myself and watched some Intervention while I did that, but I don't think the story was all that interesting, the dad creeped me out. I didn't watch Obsessed because I only watched TV while I ate dinner and I didn’t' want to watch someone who was afraid their teeth were going to explode or someone who pulls all their hair out while I tried to shove food down my gullet.
DVD making machine
Instead of watching TV, I have been working on our family videos-transferring them to DVD. Last weekend I did our wedding and reception and this week I have been working on our Orlando trip. I actually think it's kind of fun, although it sucks to have to sit there and watch the same video over and over to mark the chapters. I'm trying to figure out if I can get photo slideshows on there…I've been using Roxio's Project Creator and it's actually really simple to use!
SYTYCD
A few more spoilers-
Judges are Lil C , Nigel and Mary.
Two group dances by Sonya, solos, and 2 paired dances per person
Sonya did the Top 3 guys group routine it was Willy Wonka inspired. She also did the Top 3 girls group routine and it was superhero inspired, Jeanine was Wonder Woman and she was freaking awesome and they all had cute belts with the first letter of their names.
Samba for Ade and Jeanine - Jeanine got rave reviews (Nigel was slightly gross), Ade not as much; Lady Gaga music
Broadway for Melissa and Evan - Tailor made for Evan; wedding theme; source and judges liked it okay
Contemporary for Brandon and Kayla - she wants to end the relationship theme; judges liked it but there was some negative critique (not over the moon about it); mostly Kayla was highlighted and did well but Brandon played his part; source said one of the best three performances of the night
Hip-hop for Ade and Jeanine - eviction theme; awesome routine; Ade proved himself here for the source; Jeanine was great as well; Lil C loved the dirtiness; rave reviews; one of the best three of the night
Quickstep for Melissa and Evan - started strong and lost some of it in the middle; Melissa was better in expression but couldn't hold form; only Lil C really liked it but the other two not so much
Disco for Brandon and Kayla - awesome routine; really difficult and energetic; one point they looked exhausted but got it together; rave reviews; probably best dance of the night according to the source
Solos: boring except for two; Kayla was great and Brandon got a standing O from Nigel and Mary, and deserved it according to the source; source doesn't even like him and thought it was amazing
Those are from Televisionwithoutpity.com by a poster who went to the taping last night.
Oh! Oh! Oh!
So I just learned that A&E is going to introduce (in Obsessed time slot on Monday's) a special on HOARDERS! HOARDERS! Yayy!!! I guess they ran out of OCD topics. Exciting! I wonder exactly when it starts, I know it's not next week because I just double checked the DVR recording schedule for next week.
Seriously week, seriously?
It's only Wednesday? In my head its Thursday. I need this week to be over already. I have a long weekend ahead with Cheeto and Whitney's wedding and I'm trying to prepare myself for that. Part of me wants to forgo my hair appointment I made and rent a hotel room and nap and then do my own hair and make up and have a place to get ready. As of now after I get my hair done I'm getting ready in the back of the car in the church parking lot. Seth's family probably won't stay long because Janet found out something she volunteered for at church is actually this weekend, so he has to be up the next day at like 5 am to go help with that. So I'll be by my lonesome most of the night. *sigh* At least I get 2 guaranteed long car rides with my honey.
Sunday my side of the family is trying to have a family picnic in Nebraska City, but I'm really doubting I will have the energy to make it. Seth has a HUGE project do on Monday so he's out, I'm currently trying to bum a ride for it that doesn't leave at 9 am-which is when my mom is going. Maybe I don't want the weekend to get here!
Sleepy
I'm sleepy. Seriously. I spent all last week plotting on how to leave early everyday and I'm already starting it again this week. If it wasn't sunny right now, I'd be gone because it is like the most perfect day ever to sleep. I keep telling myself, just make it to noon! Just make it to noon! At least then you've worked half the day!
Goodbye!
That's all I really have folks-hope you have a good Wednesday!

The first half of our lives is ruined by our parents, and the second half by our children.
So I totally slept in today. Don't judge me, just be happy I'm here, I spent all 20 minutes of getting ready trying to talk myself into going back to bed. I don't listen very well.
SYTYCD
I thought it was important to get you all these SYTYCD spoilers-I know you are chomping for them!
Evan/Melissa - Broadway by Tyce and Quickstep by Louis Van Amstel
Kayla/Brandon - Contemporary by Stacy Tookey and Disco by Doriana Sanchez
Jeanine/Ade- Hip Hop by Napoleon & Tabitha and Rumba by Louis Van Amstel
Spoilers for the top 6 results episode:
*Musical guest is Sean Paul.
*Dance guests are Jabbawockeez.
If I get more info tomorrow, like who the guest judge is and how particular people did, I'll let you know!
Random
It feels like this has already been THE LONGEST WEEK EVER! And it's only Tuesday, I have to keep reminding myself. I seriously need to get it into gear.
House
My house is falling apart. Would anyone like to come clean it for me? Seriously? I'll make you lasagna. I'm available next weekend. It's starting to give me an anxiety attack and we have just been so busy…
Harry Potter
Can you believe I seriously haven't seen this movie yet? SERIOUSLY! I have another grand plan of going this Sunday-but Seth's already talking about how much work he will have to do on his project since it's due Monday. And I like to avoid epic meltdowns of my husband. He's completely useless to me once that happens.
The Closer
This was a great episode last night. I really liked all the twists and turns, although I knew from the get go who the killer was.
Secret
Secret shout out to Pam and Jason who are the sweetest bestest friends ever. They know why. You made me cry-enough said!
London Calling
Actually it's work. Sorry this is so abbreviated, but like I said-I slept in. Hee.
PS
One of the igoogle quotes (where I get the subject line quotes) was Eddie Izzard! I wanted to use it but it was too long! Dang it!

If I get more info tomorrow, like who the guest judge is and how particular people did, I'll let you know!
Random
It feels like this has already been THE LONGEST WEEK EVER! And it's only Tuesday, I have to keep reminding myself. I seriously need to get it into gear.
House
My house is falling apart. Would anyone like to come clean it for me? Seriously? I'll make you lasagna. I'm available next weekend. It's starting to give me an anxiety attack and we have just been so busy…
Harry Potter
Can you believe I seriously haven't seen this movie yet? SERIOUSLY! I have another grand plan of going this Sunday-but Seth's already talking about how much work he will have to do on his project since it's due Monday. And I like to avoid epic meltdowns of my husband. He's completely useless to me once that happens.
The Closer
This was a great episode last night. I really liked all the twists and turns, although I knew from the get go who the killer was.
Secret
Secret shout out to Pam and Jason who are the sweetest bestest friends ever. They know why. You made me cry-enough said!
London Calling
Actually it's work. Sorry this is so abbreviated, but like I said-I slept in. Hee.
PS
One of the igoogle quotes (where I get the subject line quotes) was Eddie Izzard! I wanted to use it but it was too long! Dang it!

Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed.
Oh Monday-what a nice nice Monday. There is rain in the air, things went more then well at our special appointment, and I'm just chugging along at the day.
Let's talk about TV!
Kendra
This episode had me in tears the whole time. I can't believe her mom's reaction-how selfish and awful. Like I get that you have fears-but how can you say that to your daughter? I kind of hate her mom now. A lot. And I love Hank even more.
Law and Order CI
YAYAYAYAYAY Someone is listening to me! They did a episode where the detectives interacted. Now I would have loved to seen Jeff Goldblum's detective and Goren work together, but I'll take what I can get!
It was a really good episode too! I didn't get bored or anything. Seth had to work all night last night so I just sat upstairs and watched on the living room tv and snuggled on the couch with the kidtens. There needs to be more Law and Order!
Entourage
This was also a nicely rounded episode about everyone growing up. I loved Ari's father figure role in all of it. It's nice to see Turtle manning up too. I hope he moves in and marries Jamie.
Torchwood
Like I said Seth worked a lot this weekend, so I got to watch a lot of "my" tv. I watched the first three Torchwood's. I forgot to tell you all that the British do sci-fi monsters really badly. They are like a guy in slacks with a monster head. But still, I really liked the whole storyline and I look forward to finishing it up.
Burn Notice
What a great episode! Did you all catch it? I really like when he helps random every day people. Its fun all the tips you pick up.
Weekend Review
We had a pretty low key weekend, since Seth spent most of it working or doing homework, but it was a nice one. We had dinner at Dan and Kathy's and that was super nice because we sat out on their new deck and just talked. I totally can't remember what we did Friday. And Sunday we went to church and then had Summer Kitchen and then I relaxed and watched tv.
The week ahead
Seth has class Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday this week (boo) because he has another test on Wednesday. Friday starts the beginning of activities for Cheeto and Whitney's wedding. They are getting married in Fremont on Saturday and we have rehearsal stuff all over Nebraska on Friday. I'm going to try and make the dinner, but it's in Yutan and that's a hike for me from work. I'm hoping Seth can bum a ride to Fremont with Cheeto and then I can pick him up from the dinner. But we will see how it works out.
Hug it out!
Alright everyone, since I got in a little late I'd better get to work! Have a GREAT day and let's hope this week flies by fast!
Love (everything about everything right now),

When a person can no longer laugh at himself, it is time for others to laugh at him.
Happy Friday everyone! Wow this week has flown by. Let's get down to business!
SYTYCD
Whoa, I did not see that coming at all. I thought for sure Evan or Ade would be going home and Melissa or Kayla would be. I wasn't even close. But I wasn't really affected by all of that because I spent most of the episode squeeing and pausing to point out to Seth how my favorite dancers were there. Joshua, Twitch, Ivan, Mark, and Travis!!! (hmm, all my favorite dancers are dudes) I'd love to tell you that I enjoyed Katie Holmes dance, because it was for charity and everything, so I can't judge at all, but honestly I spent most of the clip watching Joshua and cheering at what he did. Hee hee. What did you all think!?!?
Space!
So last night we went out into the yard (thanks Mom!) at 10:21 to watch the International Space Station shine across the sky. It was AMAZING. I totally teared up. I was like, that's SPACE and we can see it. That's people living in space that we can see. I know most of you don't get my obsession with space, but it's kind of like being a rock star to me, it's something I'll never do-but the act of doing it seems SO COOL and extraordinary.
Don't judge me, I'm sure you like really boring stuff too.
TV
We were busy trying to make Chet look decent for Cheeto and Whitney's wedding next weekend, so we didn't get to anything but SYTYCD. I plan on watching The Philanthropist, The F Word, and Top Chef Masters tonite though. And if Seth is up for it, finally checking out what Torchwood is all about. I finally gave up and deleted all of the Ice Road Truckers, I'm never going to catch up, and I'm not really that interested anymore.
Weekend
We only have two big plans this weekend. One is we are going to Dan and Kathy's for dinner and the other is going to see Harry Potter (for real this time!).
Hellbusch, out.
Alright babies, I'm off. Not that I don't have anything to do, but I really have run out of interesting things to say. Maybe next week I will be more prolific.
Love (for food pills of the future to have been invented already),

What's another word for Thesaurus?
Thursday! Where did you come from you sneaky little minx?
Comic Con
So Comic Con is going on today in San Diego and I'm reading all the blogs and the news updates about it and I'm so very very jealous my lip may be stuck in a permanent pout for an unspecified amount of time. As may have slipped out before, I secretly want to go to Comic Con more than like 20 other things on my list of things to do in this world.
SYTYCD
Did you watch last night? How about that Tyce piece? For the first time ever, I actually was moved by a Tyce piece. FINALLY, I've been wondering what the hullabaloo was about. Also-Laurie Ann (Boom Kat) ROCKS. Let's have her on all the time. I kind of heart her, mostly because she used my new jam-"Battlefield" by Jordin Sparks. I LOVED Ellen as a judge though. Can she come back every week? Did you all watch? It's getting down to the wire!! Don't forget tonite is going to be the 100th episode and it's going to be SO AWESOME with all the favorite moments. I can't wait to see Joshua again!!
President's Speech
The other part of the evening I watched the president's speech. Nothing horribly exciting to report there.
This weekend
Hopefully this weekend stays quiet again. We have a big day Monday morning so I need it to be restful. Just know I may not blog Monday if the morning doesn't go well. Saturday we are going to the Lockheed Martin picnic and then to Dan and Kathy's for dinner (yum!). Sunday we have church and HARRY POTTER. Seriously my Mom has officially seen it before me, she also has Netflix and downloads them to her PS3, I feel like I'm in the dark ages, next thing you know I'll be writing letters on typewriters while she sends me emails from her blackberry.
Tonite
Tonite we are supposed to go to Kohl's to help Seth's brother Chet pick out something to wear for Cheeto and Whitney's wedding in less than a week. I really don't want to go, I just want Pepperjax afterwards, but they need my card so they can use the coupons. Nuts.
Once again
I'm leaving you short. Sorry guys, I'm just not that eloquent this week. Hopefully next week I will have TONS OF AWESOME to write about. See you tomorrow!
Love (red and yellow bell peppers),
Carrie

Never offend people with style when you can offend them with substance.
So the good news is its Wednesday, Happy Hump Day! The bad news is I've been farmed out to another building away from my computer so I don't have long to write.
SYTYCD
I wanted to make sure you all got these spoilers before tonite! Don't forget Thursday is the big 100th episode full of awesome!
*Ellen DeGeneres and Mia Michaels are guest judges.
*Travis Wall is doing a group number this week (for this episode) to "Let It Rock".
New couples:
Ade/Melissa - Contemporary (Tyce Diorio), Cha Cha (Tony Meredith & Melanie LaPatin)
Brandon/Jeanine - Pop Jazz (Laurie Ann Gibson), Waltz (Hunter Johnson)
Jason/Kayla - Broadway (Tyce Diorio), Hip hop (Shane Sparks)
Evan/Janette - Jazz (Sonya Tayeh), Rumba (Tony Meredith & Melanie LaPatin)
First off, yay Sonya is choreographing and Shane Sparks! Also yay for Boom Kack (Laurie Ann), some of you may know her from Making the Band, she's the one who got in a huge fight with Diddy and left. (Or if you are sane and have a life, you may not know that.) What are we going to do this week without NappyTabs? According to their Twitter account they are at a "battle" in Nashville with Quest from ABDC (America's Best Dance Crew-All the guys in Quest were on SYTYCD too.)
New show!
So I was flipping thru the channels and I stumbled across a show on BET called "Tiny and Toya" which is all about TI's girlfriend and Lil Wayne's ex wife and I kind of love it, even though I can't understand half of what they are saying (thank GOD for closed captioning) anyway, it's kind of like Kendra, fun to watch.
Intervention and Obsessed
I watched these two and I wasn't impressed with either story so I'm not going waste time talking about them.
Torchwood
I haven't watched it yet, have any of you?
Alright, so sorry, but that's all I have time for!
Love (for the week to go by faster),
Carrie
