A day (or two or three) in the life of...

Tomorrow will be a scarey day for this lil blogger. More details to follow. I got so excited during my first experience at Loehman's (had never been and didn't want to leave) today that when Grasshopper came in to get me (um, see, I told him I'd just be a minute and that he could wait in the car since he was so tired), I ducked in women's 'Intimate Apparel' section and didn't pop my head back up until he walked far enough away that he wouldn't see me. This lasted about 6 minutes until I was caught in the shoe section. I'm addicted to make up. Well, just to buying make up really. I have ridiculous amounts of it and as much as I try to pare down my collection, I go into panic when I don't have access to any particular shade/product so I find myself spending too much time in Sephora. Found the best sheer reddish/berry'ish shade in lipstick today (after recruiting 2 Sephora employees and testing out all possible reddish/berry'ish lip...

I'm going on what I know of the Chinese (well, Vietnamese, for the sake of my Grasshopper) New Years and in preparations, he's cleaned the house to the nines. ( I'm going to have to look up where that saying came from ... heh, looks like I used it wrong, big surprise there) Our house has newly laid (heh, laid) hard wood (heh, wood) and is spotless. Grasshopper has vacuumed, dusted, cleaned away all clutter, reorganized and generally cleaned the house. I did the laundry and cleaned the bathrooms and basically, we're left with a spotless home and nothing left for us to do in regards to cleaning. Apparently, we're to start the new year with no cleaning left to be done and a clear mind and home . No cleaning is to be done while celebrating the New Year and our energy is to be concentrated on positivity and wishes for the year, for us and for our loved ones. No debt has been left unattended and for the most part, I think we're out of the red with everyone. That bei...

Holy smokes this man makes me quiver. I mean, he's emotional, he's heroic, can heal most injuries, has intense eyes and is tall and lean. He's my type. Yums. Sorry, if this post is post is too annoyingly groupy-ish but, hot damn that man makes the show all the more TIVO worthy. I mean, he's not as hot as my Grasshopper * but he'll definitely do in a pinch. *Obligatory loyalty to Grasshopper statement. Ok, now that that rant is out. I'm wondering if Lost is going to jump shark sometime this season or if it can actually keep on being great and keep us thinking about everything that goes down on that island. I'm constantly kept thinking about what might really be going on with this character or that one and if this one could really be one of The Others... It's great! And with my lovely TIVO helping me out, I can rewind or slow motion any scene that needs more attention (say, if Grasshopper decides he wants to talk over a particularly crucial scene) as muc...

Now, I know I've covered this topic before but I'm baffled. I really am. I look around at the women in this office building and try to guess who are those which are in need of proper toilet training. Someone needs to teach these 'ladies' the importance of sanitation and general flushing techniques. I mean, it's not going to be me who volunteers for this daunting task because, well, I don't really like gross people who think it's fun to leave floaters, heck, not even just floaters but really vile torn up pieces of their former colon inhabitants, to stare back up and disgust anyone who may have the misfortune of entering this bathroom stall after them. I've already figured out one of the women who's ass blows up all over the women's toilets because I happened to have entered the bathroom right as she was walking out of a stall. Bitch didn't even go to wash her nasty, shit splashed hands! Now, I'm sorry if my crude words are offensive but,...

New Edition's reuniting for another tour!!! Who wants to go to a concert and relive these tunes like the little teeny boppers that we were back in late 80's, early 90's? Heh, I already know Harms is all over this. Right? "Dust off those "I Love Ralph" and "Ronnie Is So Sexy" T-shirts — New Edition is reuniting. An expanded lineup featuring the group's six members — Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe, Ralph Tresvant and Johnny Gill — will be hitting the road for an extensive tour that is planned to last at least two months. The catch: The tour won't happen until 2008. " Damn, 2008??? Hmmm... I've only been to a handful of concerts in my life and none have been from my initiative. It's always either been someone else suggesting it (oops, except for seeing The Gypsy Kings at Wolftrap, that was my idea) or having extra tickets (thank you Buggy!). Here are the concert I've been to in the order (as I can recall...

Hi, my name is Clussy and I'm... high maintenance. ((group monotone reply)) " Hi Clussy " I'm: love starved needy of affirmation (see below for why) insecure jealous (see above for why) paranoid sensitive control freak I could go on but this is not a post on self bashing. That I do on a regular just fine and don't feel the need to share it all. :-) Hmm... I wonder how one comes to get to this level of high maintenance. Solely with enough enabling perhaps? Perhaps. Hi group, meet my Lover Grasshopper, he's my enabler. ;-) Just random observation about me-self. I think it's time to clear up some time to do something about this. Will have to revisit...

I'm so pissed happy that my all time favorite sugar addiction is taunting me in the stores (only HT, Safeway and some Giant stores sell my brand though) as this is my favorite candy of all year. Yes, my dearly beloved Brachs candy hearts (um, kinda like powdered sugar, pepto bismol/dinner mints crushed into one bag of heaven) are now available and I've devoured not one, but two bags so far this Valentines season. But.. But... "Valentines season has hardly begun, Clussy", you say? yes, well, them Fuckers have these indulgent bags of sin thrown at my face as I walk into these stores already and I'm not as pissed as I am ecstatic, yet. Damn it Jim! I love sugar. I worship this delightful sucrose laden treat and it tempts me as a buff Asian male stripper would... Right, you get what I'm saying here. I have my desires and they come seek me. Did you all not have dozens of hot Asian male strippers trick or treat at your houses this past October too? No? Right, well...

For anyone who knows me, it's common knowledge that I recall a lot of my dreams in pretty vivid detail and usually share them with my friends, sometimes just to laugh over the ridiculousness of them or to pick away at them and see what hidden meaning they may have. I mean, after all, it's our subconscious talking to us, right? I've had a good amount of violent dreams where I'm running or fighting and even took a bullet in the back of my head once for Grasshopper. In my dream, I ran in front of him just in time to save his life and I remember thinking " Shit that hurts ! ouchie ouch ouchie! ". It was all in a days work for me in my dreams though. When I told him about this dream, he was not nearly as appreciative as he should have been. I mean, come on man, I just told you that my instinct was to take a bullet for you! Right? Right, so another one of my frequent dreams is where I'm being chased or attacked and I can't scream for help. It's the most...

This was the gist of my Sunday night slumber party w/Jemmy Pie. The scene of debauchery. We were on a mission since we have a slumber party every so... oh, about never. Jemmy making his best ' Scarey Boo ' face. And No, I will not take this pic down even if you beg me. Sorry, makes me too happy. Rawr, look at that tongue! ;-) Not even liquor and champagne made House of Wax good, though it didn't stop me from screaming, as usual. As I said before, Jems almost fell off the bed laughing at the part when La Paris got a rod flying at here face, and not the expected kind that's usually filmed poking away at her either. Shit was gross, but snickering Jems still screeched w/loud giggles. Heh. 'Dirty Love', which was written, produced and starred Jenny McCarthy was so stupid and gross that I was able to get a good amount of almost crying laughs out of it. Jenny is just insane. She has such a gross out humor but come on, depicting menstrual emergencies in the grocery s...

Tasmine Ocean (no her parents aren't hippies... far from it) Takoda Tinson They wanted to go with very different names for the twins but wanted them both to start w/T's. :-) Funny cuz they wouldn't share the names they had picked out before their births because they didn't want any opinions (whether good or bad) to sway their decisions once they made them. I can respect that. It breaks my heart to see them looking so vulnerable though in their incubators. Takoda is still requiring help w/his breathing but Tasmine is doing fine. They were both put under those special lamps to help them out with their pigmentation somehow? I guess they had a mild case of jaundice as most preemies do. Mama Ly is at home now. I'm gonna see if I can go with her to NICU tonight to see Jr's. Hopefully they're not so covered up anymore. I'd love to see their cute little faces. Ok, there you go Harms. good?

I'm feeling lazy and not so optimistic about my resolutions already and it's just the 3rd day of the new year! I think this has to do with my waking up later than I wanted to today. I was hoping to get up by 7:30 so as to not rush in getting ready for work but instead woke up at 10 after 8 and rushed into the cold shower (our plumbing apparently takes a good 8 to 10 minutes to finally let warm water up the pipes to the shower, especially early in the morning, which I find weird), didn't have time to really relax and get ready, then tried unsuccessfully to wake Grasshopper up as I was getting ready and kept getting the good 'ol "5 more minutes" plea and because I was not chipper, this annoyed me. I shouldn't nag him but, damn, the later he wakes up, the later he gets into work and then his day starts off rough at work and then he has to stay later to clock his full day and ... well, it just starts a chain reaction that I know is headed in the wrong direct...
