Flower Delivery Girl Gone Wrong

So this story begins with a Facebook message from a friend saying that he wanted to see if I could help surprise his wife for their anniversary. He was out of town and asked me to take flowers to his wife since the flower shop is closed on Sunday. So here was the plan.

1. Before my pedicure on Saturday, mom and I were going to run to the flower shop, pick up the flowers and drop off them off at the apartment.

2. Snae and I would take the flowers to our friend's house on Sunday when I was supposed to watch her children. Then Snae and our friend would go to work and it would be seamless.

Sounds like a good plan. . .right? So this didn't happen as planned.

1. Picked up the flowers and quickly realized that the flower arrangement was on the large side. But the plan was still on. Side note-- see how funny they spelled my name?

2. Then we had the big bump in the road. Our friend decided that she didn't need to work today after all. Thankfully, she asked if I would still come over to hang out with her kids so she could go grocery shopping. The entire time she's talking, I'm just picturing this big flower arrangement and trying to figure out how I'm going to get it there.

3. So all day yesterday, we were trying to figure out how I could drive the flower arrangement to their house since it wasn't logical for Snae to come with me anymore.

4. This morning I declared that I could not drive the arrangement. First of all, it would be difficult. Second of all, I get nervous driving to their house as this is the street that I totaled Truman and I didn't want to be distracted about the flowers.

5. So we needed to let our friend know that Snae would be dropping me off and then picking me up after work. This is when the drama started. . .our friend questioned why I couldn't drive myself. Note-- we are not good liars so this was trouble. So Snae said her car was having issues and it made her nervous. So then our friend asked what was wrong with the car and Snae said something that was 100% nonsense. I was laughing so hard across the Scholotzky's table.

6. We finally climbed into DC with the giant flowers. I could literally only look to the side. So at a red light. Snae took this lovely picture. This picture doesn't describe how squished I was in the car.

7. Finally arrived at the house. Flower delivery complete! Big relief. I don't think I would be a good flower delivery girl. Cross that off my career path.

A day in the life. . .

I realized today that I have a pretty good thing going for me today. I have great family, friends, and lots of fun things going on. Granted I still have that giant issue called my career but I'm having a good moment so let's not dwell on that. So here's my day:

1. Try to wear my hair wavy for the first time since it's been cut. Results: better than last time but it's barely holding up in the heat.

2. Did a mischievious errand for a friend. Shhhh.

3. Went with mom to get her first pedicure. Now my feet love me. I can almost hear them singing "Silly Love Songs." Is it weird that my pink toes sound like The Warblers?

4. Took lunch to the girls at Tools. It is that time of year!

5. Went to one of my fav places in the whole wide world. . . The Lewisville Library! It was amazing as usual.

6. Now I'm at home watching "Wildfire" at Netflix. This is my new favorite thing. The other day I dreamed about this show. Good thing I'm over half way through it.

7. After this is posted, I'm going to address shower invitations. "Wildfire" will still be playing! By the way, I'm totally "Team Matt."

8. Snae will eventually come home and we have a fantastic dinner of hot dogs planned. I'm actually pretty excited about this. After a delicious hibachi meal last night, I'm ready for something simple and cheap.

9. We'll have an easy night of TV watching, hopefully catch up on "Project Runway."

I don't think you can have a better day. Just wanted to share. Back to my good life!

The DVR: A Story of Heartbreak and Hope

So our computer broke.  . .then we couldn't afford the Internet . . .now we have a computer and Internet. . . we were going to write something clever . . .but who has the energy. . .let's try this again.

For those of you who don't know. . .we are addicted to the dvr. We only watch recorded TV. And we watch lots and lots of recorded TV. So that's the background that you need to know. There will also be dramatic emotions described. They are exaggerated. We know there's more to this world than reality TV.

A couple of years ago, I conned Snae into watching "Glee." She thought it was okay but I loved it. And she would've quit long ago, but it is one of my favorite shows. So when "The Glee Project" came, we had to watch it. Well. . . I had to watch it and didn't give Snae much of a choice.

But it was much better than expected. We recently gave our friend Cindy a huge explanation of what other shows could learn from "The Glee Project." As with all shows we have chosen a favorite, and we chose Damian. Cute, Irish, sings like a crooner, bad dancer, long shot to win. We love him. Honestly I think when we see him, we actually are pretending to see other Irish guys. Horrible font aside, Westlife is a very talented and popular Irish boy band all over the world and a one hit wonder in the US. PS-- Snae likes that ordinary brunette at the end. I like the third guy who is obviously very religious and smirky. Okay, okay, I'll post a video so you can enjoy Irish awesomeness.

Yes, I am getting to the point. Sunday night we were watching something on the dvr. And then the unthinkable happened. When our show stopped, the tv was playing the show it was recording which was "The Glee Project." It was a couple of minutes from the end and I saw a look of horror on Snae's face and I looked up and Damian was obviously going home. We had no idea what happened and it was horrible. We had already decided to go to bed so I just said that we would watch it tomorrow.

We mourned Damian all day. It was like living under a rain cloud. We decided that without Damian, we would put our full support behind Cameron. Quirky, from Fort Worth, has an unwavering stand on his morals (a very odd characteristic for reality TV). We watched the show on Monday night, we said our goodbyes to Damian throughout the entire episode. We repeatedly talked about how Cameron was a good choice. How he could maybe make it to the end. We were sad but Cameron was our new golden boy.

Then the Glee Project miracle of 2011 happened. (The show is already in talks for season 2 so there's a good chance for a miracle in 2012 . . .hence the date reference.) Damian was NOT going home. The thirty seconds we saw was just a misleading moment when taken out of context. Shocking that we would jump to conclusions. You will never believe who went home instead. CAMERON! So it was an odd feeling. Our "old" favorite was staying and "new" favorite was gone. So we sadly said goodbye to Cameron and hopped right back on the Damian bandwagon. I leave you today with Cameron singing "Blackbird". . .  until the video gets taken down for copyright reasons.
