hold it down
i just checked my blog thingy-doo and found a comment from brent. he said "hold it down" which
1. is really hilarious
2. is really appropriate for right now because i'm REALLY STRESSED OUT for no particular reason and i'm finding it hard to "hold my shit down" and i'm trying not to scream.
so i just made a meatloaf (brent, i know you are unfamiliar meat products and such so for your information, a "meatloaf" is probably similar to a "field loaf", although i have never had a field loaf so i'm not TOTALLY sure.) which was really satisfying, but it will be more satisfying to eat it later. i plan on making potatoes, mashed to go along with it. and asparagus if i can remember. sheesh.

there is a warm basket of clothes and no kitty to sleep in them.
i just had to do the most heart wrenching thing imaginable. i had drop mao off at eva's house for the night. not that i don't trust eva to care for our cat, it's just that it's sad. i miss her already. it's quiet and lonely here. i hope that she will be okay.
anyway, the upside is that our leaky tub faucet is getting fixed tomorrow. yea!

my hair is wet and cold
yesterday brent and i went shopping downtown. we went to the adidas store and there was cute sporty style sweater that was $75.00. don't worry, i didn't buy it , because that is a rip.
we also went to the bon where i tried on 50 thousand pairs of jeans. there were some canadian girls in the dressing room at the same time:
girl1: i think i like these jeans. but i'm not sure. i think i want to get them. but not if they're $88. maybe if they're half off i'll get them.
girl2: get them. if you like them, you should get them.
girl1: if they are $88 then i won't have money for anything else. but i really like them. i think. should i get them?
girl3: you can always get them and then bring them back if you don't want them. i think if you buy them you'll be happy with them.
girl1: i reallly want to get them. they fit nice on my bum. look at my bum, don't they look good onmy bum? should i get them? i like them because i don't have to pull them up.
girl3: and they're really sassy.
girl1: they ARE sassy!!
girl2: GET THEM. IF YOU LIKE THEM THEN GET THEM.
jeesh. canadian girls are annoying. they say "bum" instead of "butt". give me a break!
so also last night:
we went to the henry art thingy and saw some stuff. there was a lady who had on a long brown (crushed?) velvet jacket, a black rabbit fur scarf and a orange "fun fur" purse. it all looked awful. nobody should ever wear that much ugliness. ever.
i'm going to go eat a donut. thankyouverymuch.

tummy
last night my tummy woke me up at 4 in the morn. it was awful. i didn't feel like i needed to fart or poop so i went to the living room to roll around and see if i could squeeze something out. eventually a poop came out ( in the toilet. not on the living room floor) and then i felt only a little better. now it is coming back. bah.
in other news: my skin is dry, i went to the doctor yesterday and missed 2 hours of work, and i'm going shopping with brent AGAIN today after work. jeesh. does this guy ever stop?

where am i? where'd i put my false teeth?
so i guess i just fell asleep on the couch while watching oprah. i wasn't even that tired. it's just that oprah was boring so i turned the volumn down and then the next think i know, the phone is ringing and i'm trying to get up to get it. i opened my eyes and looked around thinking 'what the hell? is this really where i live? SWEET! i better get the phone!!'
the same thing happened a few days ago when i was napping in the bedroom and i woke up thinking 'shit dog?! am i married for reals?! TO COREY! shiiiitt!'

a letter
dear guy who lives above us,
last night between the hours of 10:00pm and 1:00 am you were making a lot of noise. corey thought you might be nailing something together. i thought you were bouncing a large ball on the floor. what the fuck? i know you probably have no idea how loud you are actually being because you blast really shitty music like "jet" and "dido" and if you knew people could hear that you wouldn't play it so loud. anyway, so you were constructing a birdhouse or playing four square with yourself and then corey banged on the wall and screamed "shut the fuck up!" and it seems that you heard THAT. so maybe now you know that you were being to loud and you will stop being so annoying. really, we hear you squeaking your chair and bed or whatever at night. every night. i don't think you have a job either because you always seem to be making noise when i get home and i rarely see you leave. and when you do leave it's to get coffee at marketime and you are back within 5 minutes. so how bout this: you do your construction/recess games between the hours of 9:00am and 9:00pm. is that okay? you know, i probably would have slept though all of it if corey hadn't yelled at you. because i can sleep though shit like that. but corey can't. and when he doesn't get enough sleep he gets cranky. and a cranky corey is not fun to sleep by. just sayin.
fondly,
your downstairs neighbors

i didn't buy a used car yesterday
it is cold. i just ate cold fiber cereal with frozen berries and it is making it worse.
yesterday corey and i drove to bellevue. i fucking hate bellevue. and google maps. first of all, there are only two bridges to get over there, and secondly, jerks are always trying to go over there. i have no idea why. except that maybe they are all buying cars at the million billion car lots they have there. oh yeah, and google maps is stupid. so anyway. we got lost and the time it took to get from our house to the honda place was like an hour and 15 minutes. thats bogus man.
so we got there and i test drove two cars.
-'97 honda civic hatch back. red. manual. no power steering, no power anything.
-'98 honda civic coupe. black. way sportier with tinted windows and shit. and some dings. automatic. power steering.
they were both the same price, but i think the red car was in better condition. i don't know though. shouldn't a car have power steering? i think it should.
so we went back home and i sat in my other car and i think i just want to get it fixed because even though it's dumpy and ugly its really comfortable and i don't drive that much anyway. shit.
erin is coming over tonight with lui and then we're going to go to some fremont bars. then later we might meet up with carolyn&co. if anyone wants to meet up with us you should call. erin likes friends!

thursday butt day
wow. i am tired. corey is working from home today. i'm leaving early so we can go look at used cars to buy. i feel anxious. i don't want to buy a car and i hope i don't mess this up.
last night i left my cell phone at the nordstrom e-bar. don't try to call it. i guess eva called it once and someone answered. but i called it and nobody answered. i need to remember to get it sometime soon.
butt.

sorry marysville
brent and i went to thrift stores yesterday evening. i'm sorry to everyone in marysville (erin. do you even read this? because if you don't then i'm off the hook!) for not calling and hanging out. but we were crunched for time. thrift stores are only open for so long.
we started out at H.O.M.E which is where the old salvation army used to be and is exactly the same as the old shop and save which is now "value village". are you confused yet? okay! H.O.M.E is good because the prices are cheap and the clerks don't give a shit about anything. i don't remember what brent got (maybe a tote bag that said "LE BAG") but he went up and asked the girl "do you negotiate prices?" and she said "i'll give you half price!" brent is my hero. anyway, i got a really cute pruple sweater with hand painted buttons on it. yea!!
next we went to the goodwill and brent negotiated a shirt which i was really surprised by because the goodwill is usually a jerk about things like that. after that we went to tacos guaymas. i got fish tacos. while eating we realized that everytime we go thrifting we end up eating mexican food. weird!
after that we went to everett to the goodwill and it was about to close. i felt rushed but brent found a red peacoat for me. it was $14 which is a bit much but it was in really good condition so whatever. brent bought an adidas jacket i think. then we went to shop and save i bought a v-neck striped tank top and socks. brent bought shorts i think. it was all very fun and good.
also yesterday i got a package that i ordered a while ago. it was a tortoise shell comb and a nail brush and some soap. i ordered it from smallflower.com which is really cool. they have amazing toothbrushes. i recommend doing your online toothbrush and other fancy toiletries shopping there. yea!!
i will tell you that this afternoon i want to go home and clean our dumpy apartment up but who knows if will really happen, right? right!

people who comment spam are butt feces
yesterday i went shopping and bought some high fiber cereal. i bought other things but i'm really excited about this cereal and i want to tell everyone about it! it's called "all bran pellets" (nuggets?) and it looks like little tiny miniture poops. like, if i had a doll house and the doll house had a toilet, i would just put three or four pellets in there and everyone would know that whoever lived in that dollhouse had really good BM's. YES!! anyway, 1/3 of a cup is 40% of your fiber for the day. SHIT!! there is a recipe for high fiber cookies on the side of the box. it calls for 2 cups of brown sugar and that sounds like a bit much. but all that fiber cancles it out right?
RIGHT!!!

it's friday and i want to go home and take a nap!
i got my new drivers license in the mail yesterday. it says
"alison elaine marie argentine" so go change your address book!
today the mail man came and i had to sign my new name and it was weird!
yesterday eva and i went shopping and stopped by the grocery outlet. i bought candy and full metal jacket for $2.99!! what deal!!
so corey and i watched most of it but survivor was on so i had to stop it and i'll watch it later. i've got to say, that movie has a lot of really good lines in it. which i have heard before but never knew they were from this movie. i have been living in the dark this whole time!
i'm looking forward to a nap in a while! yea!

my lunch was good
i made a really great tasting sandwich today. it had black rye bread, ham, colby jack cheese, two huge tomato slices, salad spouts (broccoli and radish) and a butt load of lettuce. and salt and pepper. the key to not getting a soggy sandwich is to layer the tomatoes between the meat/cheese and the lettuce/spouts. that way it doesn't touch the bread. it also helps if the bread is really dry to begin with. just so you know.
eva, did you watch ANTM last night? my tape stopped part way through so i have it recorded on two tapes. i can't believe they kicked off what's-her-face. she didn't look that old, OR that fat. what are you gonna do? lluvy looks like an alien. she is kind of scary looking. what do you think? also, why the crap did they give that wrestler girl "ice blond hair!!" just like amanda? it makes her skin look ugly. even if a person has nice skin that color of hair doesn't look right. please don't let me get "ice blond" hair ever.
it's nice out today. i wonder if c-dog will go on a walk. i don't have to be home at any particular time because thursday night tv is crap.
i want a nap.

yesterday
sooo.. i have a couple of things to talk about.
first: has anyone seen the starlet on the WB? wow. if you like america's top model then this is probably right up your alley. (eva. this means you. and cat also.) so on last nights episode they had to act out this scene from some other show or movie that i have never seen before. in the scene they had to kiss another girl. so they all sat around this table and paired up like they were in high school gym class or some shit. like "oh. well i'm really comfortable with you so if that's okay, we should be partners" all of the girls made this really big deal about all of it like "oh well i haven't kissed a girl. it's just not something i would do. but i guess i have to do this" (aren't you supposed to be "acting"? is it that big of a deal??!?) it was terrible. they showed this scene where this one girl just lunged at the the other girl and she was all over her! i had to close my eyes it was so bad. it was awkward. that girl ended up getting kicked off. their "you're fired" line is "don't call us. we'll call you" which is really hilarious too, because they pick two girls to boot off and they say it twice. ha! one girl looks like yoanna from ANTM which kind of bugs me but she's not as annoying. so whatever.
so, also last night, corey and i went on a walk and stopped at starbucks. i got one of those mocha fluffachino thingies and i ended up sleeping like crap and having terrible dreams. at one point i woke up (at 4:05) and then fell asleep and had a dream about a million beached dolphins (scary) and then woke up five minutes later (4:10) and smelled cinnamon coffee cake or something.
tonight i will make hamburglers for din.
GOOD TIMES!

stuff
we saw "the aviator" this weekend. it was long. we also saw "saw" and "love liza". don't ask me how saw was because i fell asleep about 10 minutes into it. and don't ask corey what it was about because he will just give you some bull shit answer like "it was really complicated and everyone dies in the end."
love liza was gross.
sunday morning we went to julia's in wallingford. i had "eggs benedict" for the first time. they were good. after that we walked to the u district and i was wearing sandals. now my feet have blisters.
a couple of other things you might want to know:
-i saw lui this weekend. i made her a satchel. i will put pictures up after my mom emails them to me. lui and i have totally different taste in everything it seems but her bag turned out cute i think. i'm happy with it.
- my dad said "you can't make a purse out of a sows ear. but you can make a purse out of two sows ears!"ha. sows ear. huuh!

barf forum
okay- a couple of things first:
-mini mew is officially a woman. she is in heat! ahh! we need to get her fixed.
- ups attempted to deliver my package today at home but i wasn't there. it will be delivered to my work tomorrow. YES!!
- i bought an exercise ball and i am sitting at the computer and wiggling around. i bought a "medium" sized one and i think should have gotten a large.
-i also bought new sheets at target today
OKAY so today erin and i were talking about farting and barfing and stuff. toilet humor is always fun. anyway- please leave a story about farting, pooping, vomiting or even pants-peeing in the comment section. woot!!
here is a story about someone i knew in 8th grade:
i knew this boy who once barfed up a hot dog that was still intact and he thought it was his insides.
okay so i don't remember most of the details but that was the important part.
Posted by alison at 07:31 PM | Comments (4)
ups is a jerk
i ordered something the other day and it was supposed to be delivered on tuesday. but of course i wasn't there when they came because it was 1:30. then they tried again the next day at 1:50. and again i was not home. today i had them "reroute" it to be delivered to work and now i am worried that they are going to deliver it at like 6 or something and nobody will be here. shit.
anyway, i ordered this 54-week date book and i am really excited about it. i want it right now so i can make a list of things i need to buy at target tonight!
i'm sleepy!!

i think i remembered what i forgot earlier.
it might have been "i made lasagna last night. it was good" or it could have been "i have to make a brown baby"
or maybe "i want to have a terrarium making party".
you choose.

yeah
yesterday i went to the social security office to change my name. it was really easy. there was on old (possibly homeless)man wearing about 5 coats bitching about the goverment and stuff like that. then he said "well this whole town hates my guts!!". i love that. i don't think people hate other peoples guts as much as they used too. sad.
corey brought home FIVE boxes of girl scout cookies last night. i forgot to bring some to work for lunch. i think he wants me to be fat though. because he wouldn't eat any of them. what a butt.
in other news: our internet is not working for some reason. greg, are you responsible for this? i sure hope not. also, something else. but i forgot.
