*UPDATE*
As of 10/01, my friend Bob has attempted to spam my site like 20 times. Each attempt was smacked down! Yeah! Hopefully Bob has left the building for good!

Everyone meet Bob. Bob@yXXXXo.com is a spam bastard. He's had a lot of fun spamming myself and other blogs over the last few months. I hate Bob.

After searching the MT Blascklist forums I found a post from another victim of Bob's spamming attacks, and Jay was able to hook him up with a string that should kill bob@yXXXXo.com in his boots.

So far it seems to have worked...the string is below:

I love this stuff. I bought the multi-pack a few weeks ago just see if it was worth buying the larger packs and which one I liked the best. This multi-pack offers five different masks for various skin types. I am totally in love with these masks.

It's $30 for the pack at Sephora. I messed up the first one so here are a few tips to save you from making the same mistakes (read this before you begin):

The papers are signed, the deal is done. Courtney and I are now home owners!

The weight of debt has been lifted off our shoulders, and it will make so much of a difference. We'll actually be able to save some money every month. And sleep better every night.

We bought the house that Courtney grew up in. His family has been here for twenty-five years, the grandparents live across the street. It's his home, and now we can call it home.

I have 5 gmail invites. msconceived was kind enough to give me one a few months ago. So I am returning the random act of kindness.

Drop me a comment, be creative with your begging, and I'll send along the invite. And most importantly, if you get invites please be kind and pass those along to others.

Pictures are up on the PhotoBlog page of the new puppy Winston!

iPod Guilty Pleasures

I have the usual: NKOTB, and WHAM! Being the punk-rock alternative goth girl that I am, I admit that I also have some Mandy Moore and more recently Hillary Duff.

So what are your iPod guilty pleasures?

I bought it. I had to..so kill me now.

I haven't sat down to watch all the DVD's yet, but I know people have. So check out this post for details about all the changes.

I'm hoping to watch it this evening with Courtney. I'll chime in soon.

I love the show Arrested Developement. If you haven't seen it yet, you must set your TIVO's for this show. It's so damn funny!

Congrats to the cast and crew for all the Emmy nods and FIVE Emmy wins!

To the Powers that Be at FOX,

I didn't really want to say anything about this until it happened. We just got a new puppy yesterday. Welcome Winston! I'll post a picture of him later today. Winston comes to us from North Carolina. He is a Standard Poodle (black), and he's just so adorable!

Courtney wasn't too hip on the idea, but now that he is here...he likes him. The other dogs seem ok with him too. Joey (Airedale) is really the only one that seems jealous. This morning as I was getting ready, Joey and Winston were lying next to each other on our bed. Just so cute!

Joey called me and asked for part of his rent money today. I knew it would only be a matter of time before he would ask. It kills me to tell him no, but he needs to work all this out on his own. Now I know what my dad might have felt when I asked for rent money.

It sucks feeling this way. This is so not a warm fuzzie, happy feeling.

Oprah's audience is probably still walking on air after yesterday's season premiere. I totally would be.

I just think that what she did was great. She has power, influence and money. She didn't know anyone in the audience, and I'm sure many of them really needed the car. She didn't have to giveaway 276 cars. That is just great. Go Oprah!

(Brian, we are so going to get tickets!)

Those damn commericals for BK and their Angus Burger are grating on my every nerve now. That character's phony Aussie/English accent is just plain annoying! AARRGGHH!

I just wanted to drop a note on my first attempt at this to say, being off for a month is really wicked cool.

And I also wanted to defended myself, I do NOT have an obsession with Natalie Portman, just a healthy admiration.

I'm still a little freaked out about last night's events. I've barely slept and I feel like I just can't get everything done that needs to be done. The laundry never ends, floors need to be mopped, toilets cleaned, dishes washed (yeah I don't have a dishwasher washer either), beds made....etc. The list never ends, and if I don't do a little everyday, it piles up on me.

I started a redesign for a friend, and I have my manager's computer waiting to get fixed. Hopefully I can get it done tomorrow and back to her by Tuesday. Then I have work for my second job to do. I hoping to get that done in between stuff tomorrow. I'm praying that work will be light tomorrow. I hate Monday's!

I'm off to bed. The guest blogger login is still open for those who want to leave a note.

Meghan, Joey, Courtney and I went to a late movie last night out at AZ Mills. Garden State....Have I said that I LOVE this movie yet? Anyways, we headed home this was about 1am. I'm driving down the street in my quiet little neighborhood, and we see our neighbors talking to the Police, and then we see this little car in my neighbor's yard. Damn that car looks just like Meghan's....SHIT it is Meghan's car!

At about 1245am a Dodge Shadow came flying down the street in front of my house. Meghan's car was parked in front of my house under the trees. The speeding car hit Meghan's car head on. The force of the impact caused both air bags to deploy and pushed the car into my neighbor's yard across the street, between the street sign and fire hydrant. See pictures below.

The police tell us that the Dodge was stolen and the suspects dumped the car up the street. No one was inside. The police helicopters did not find anyone roaming the streets. The whole event was very odd, very unbelievable. Thankfully Meghan was not in the car, and no one was walking in the neighborhood when the crash happened.

So, this morning at Starbucks, a man driving a large diesel pickup just so happened to have an all black standard poodle in the back seat of his truck. Poodles just aren't for girls anymore....

Well don't everyone run at once. I guess the guest blogging idea didn't go too well. Makes me wonder if anyone besides spammers reads this, or am I talking to dead air. Oh well what can you do.

Have a good weekend!

I have a ton of stuff that I need to catch up on over the next few days. While I'm doing that, I'm leaving the door open for guest bloggers. Be kind to each other, and don't make me delete entries.

See you in a few days!

I'm back to work and I'm really trying to be productive. It's not working out so good.

I still have more pictures to upload later tonight. I spent most of the day yesterday cleaning, doing laundry, etc. I was able to get a decent nights sleep. I felt refreshed and ready to take on the daunting task of weeding through work emails.

I forgot to say that I found the perfect print for the quilt that I'm going to make for Courtney's sister. I'm so excited about it! I just need three or four more similar, yet contrasting patterns and I'll be set! I'll post a sample of the pattern when I get home.

I'm not sure why, but I barely got any sleep last night. I crashed around midnight (eastern), and was wide awake at 5am. And for the life of me I could not get myself back to sleep. I can feel it, I'm tired, but all I do is toss and turn. Looks like the car ride down to Hendersonville maybe a rough one.

I tried to find wi-fi access down there, but no such luck. So I'm not sure what I'm going to do about internet access. I shutter to think that I may have to go without! Damn hick town, get some hotspots will ya!

Carolyn and I are going to meet up tomorrow at the apple festival. I'm excited to see her again. It's been so long. Our email conversations have been good...and it seems like we still have things in common. It should be fun.

We're also going to see my mom later today so she can see her baby granddaughter. This will probably be the only time all of us will be one room together. I assume thinking of this is why I can't sleep. I have no idea why it stresses me out.

These allergy pills make me a little wired. Plus I still have jet lag. Everyone else is sleeping and I'm like totally wide awake.

I can't sleep and now I'm totally bored.

Stop by the photoblog page. I've posted many of the pictures of my trip so far.

I'm getting the chance to cook while on vacation. Making beef strganoff for dinner tonight, and I mafe chocolate chip cookies earlier. I still got it :) I so need to hook Teresa up with better cooking tools. Sounds like a gift basket opportunity :)

I'm hoping to pick up some cheesy WT gifts before I leave for the gang. Maybe I'll find some on the way down to Hendersonville.

Ya, I wish I could afford a house like that. And if I could, you wouldn't have to be in the guest house. You could have your own wing. And tell Teresa that Maggie is so adorable. I am sure that she was happy because cool antie e was in the house.

I just missed your call. I walked away to talk to someone. later.

The crew at our Starbucks changed? Again? I hate that shit. You're right that has to be a training store or something. Maybe we need to stop at the one on 16th or 24th streets?

Yes made it over to Chapel Hill yesterday. God it's such an amazing campus. Lots of 'scenery' to look at.

We're going to take pictures of those houses I was telling you about today. Not much going on today. Just hanging out around the house. Dude I so need to get my fat ass into the gym. I'm afraid to go to WW next week and see all the damage.

So how did the review thing go? I'll get mine when I come back. Don't forget I work the later shift for two and half weeks when I get back. I'll have to come up to Starbucks to meet you, then I'll go back home to hang out before heading into work.

Oh yeah and dude, you so need to come with me the next time.

June 16, 1988....I think I know what that date is, but not exactly sure. Hope you made it to Chapel Hill. Have you visited your mother yet? I can't wait till you get back. The Starbucks crowd all of the sudden changed on us in a flash. It was very weird this morning. One thing forsure, Ice Team Man was in the house. I did my PM with the boss yesterday. We'll talk later.
