(no subject)
Ugh... today is Nancy's bagel day (we take turns bringing them each Friday) and she got all these weird kinds. Not a single plain one, which is what I like (or cheese). And they are all really seedy. Oh well. The one I got is pretty good, if it weren't for all the seeds. Poor me. LOL
Well, I'm pretty sure that store that sold Sea Monkey stuff is no longer in business. The address I had lead me to this massive shopping center (for those familiar, the one on Dr. Phillips and Sand Lake). So I drove around it a few times looking for it, thinking maybe I had missed it or something. I even thought I was involved in a police chase at one point. Well, not really. I had come out of the shopping center and was going to go back in. I was turning left at a traffic light, and I eased out into the intersection so I could get a clear view and turn when there was a break in traffic. Everybody does that, but I'm not 100% sure if it's legal or if some grumpy police officer would actually give me a ticket for it. So as I'm turning, I see that behind me a police car is coming, lights and siren blaring. So I'm thinking it's probably not for me (not with the siren), but I've had bad luck with stupid tickets this year, so my heart skipped a little. Cars weren't getting out of the way of the police car fast enough, so after I turned I had a chance to dip in to the alleyway behind the shopping center, where the dumpsters are. Ha, I was trying to lose the cop. I'm such a rebel. When I came back out later, I saw him speeding down the street with his lights still on, so I guess he was responding to some call. Whew.
Anyway, when I couldn't find that store I called information and there was no listing for it (Education Express). So yeah, it's probably shut down. Anyway, the thing she needed was nothing more than something you squeeze and it blows air out into the water. I have one of those bulb thingies that you use on your ear or to suck snot out of baby's noses (you know what I'm talking about, parents), so I gave that to her and told her it would work just fine.
After giving up on the Sea Monkey pump search, I went and got some groceries, went home, put them away, hung out for like 10 minutes, and then went and picked Casey up from Girl Scouts. They have moved their park renovation project to next Saturday. Also, immediately after turning in her magazine orders to the school (she only sold 3 subscriptions... 2 to me and one to my mother), she gets the exact same stuff from Girl Scouts last night. I'm not even going to bother with the magazines, but she is also selling candy. That might be easier. I set the order form (with pics of the chocolatey goodness) out for people to see here at work. Whatever. These sales things are so annoying.
Last night's TV viewing included Gossip Girl (I like their soundtrack. Also, Blair looks kind of like Eliza Dushku... right?), 15 minutes of Private Practice (I like it so far - except for the cheesy opening when she's describing her new show to the Chief... weird - but had to turn it off for now because GREYS and THE OFFICE, hello!), and yeah, The Office and Greys Anatomy. Those are pretty much my 2 favorite shows, so yay for them being back.
Also yay for all the relationship stuff on The Office. Even Dwangela and Jan/Michael (what's their couple name?) were totally adorable. Pam looks pretty now, they have decided to make her less plain this season. And OMG PB&J! How cute, I hadn't thought of that.
Greys was great, although I'm really sick of George feeling sorry for himself. It's all he ever does these last couple of seasons. I miss the old George. For serious. And I like Lexi. I like how they brought it back to the first season, with them giving Bailey's speech to the new interns, George looking at the babies, etc.
"You're... kind of awesome"
"this is my zombie patient, so no you can't get in on it"
"Hey george, severed arm, izzie is dr doolitle, my intern is Meredith's half sister, and Alex hates your wife."
Cristina: I don't like you
Derek: You don't like me because of Meredith?
Cristina: No, I don't like you because you're you
(Thank you, Cristina. Derek is an asshole, and it's about time someone pointed it out.)
Alex: Callie's a bitch
Izzie: Word
"Did your head just explode with the amazingness?!!"
Is it really possible to give birth while unconscious?
So, at that pivotal moment at the end (don't feel like making a cut, so you know what I mean), just as he's opening his mouth to speak, boom DVR ends the show. I was like "Wha? But... WHAT? NO." and Casey started laughing at me. And then I remembered that on a whim I had decided to record the show after Greys (Big Shots... not sure if I care to watch it, but just for kicks I recorded it). Thank goodness I was able to see it that way.
Anyway, not much going on this weekend. Aside from all the usual stuff, Casey wants to meet up with the girls in her gifted group to go over the details of their video project. We've planned for a meeting at McDonald's at 3 on Sunday. I suggested they just come over to the house, but she's afraid Willow will bark at them. I said to just go in her room and she was like "NO WAY". Because her room looks like a tornado went through it. Oh well.
