*Cough*

Long time … no blog. And now I am El Sicko. Guess where I caught it?

Above is a photo of Piglet trying to save us from the evil humidifier.

I spent the weekend in bed coughing and watching reality TV on TiVo. 6 episodes of Run’s House! Thank goodness Rock of Love has a new season.

Ummmm when is the strike going to be over? Don’t get me wrong … I love Wife Swap but if this keeps up I might actually have to go to the gym or something to pass the time.

I Talk to Animals

Alright … alright … only because I love Danielle and I love talking about myself (why fight it – everyone knows I do) I am going to do this blog tag thingy. But here’s the thing – I can’t tag anyone else because everyone I know with a blog has been tagged. My social network of bloggers is kinda small. Oh and Cougar Bait would punch me in the face if I tagged him. It would be like making him go to a Tupperware party or something.

Okay so here goes -

1. Link to the person that tagged you, and post the rules on your blog.
Okay done!

2. Share 7 facts about yourself.
Going to in just one minute.

3. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.
Totally do not have 7 more friends that would not punch me in the face.

4. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
Again – worried about my face

Here are my facts people!

1. I like to say I will punch people in the face a lot. I would never really punch you in the face though, because frankly I am scared of violence and I don’t want to hurt my hand. Even though I might verbally abuse you instead - I am really a delicate flower and I feel bad when I hurt people’s feelings – EVEN if they totally deserve it.
2. I have a HUGE guilty conscience! I feel bad about what I eat, what I said to you yesterday, returning things at the mall, not answering the phone when I don’t want to talk, or simply not paying attention when you’re talking. I feel bad about minor shit all the time and it’s really lame.
3. I don’t really like to travel at all. And when everyone asked how my trip to Australia was what I really wanted to say was – “I liked the people but I had the worst time because I was tired and cranky and hot and had vertigo and the flight took forever and I missed my cats.” I did love the Koala Bears and people but most of the time when I am away from home I just want to go home. And I think that sometimes people who say they love to travel just like to sound all “I need some shit to say to make me sound cool on my Elimidate application”. Oops … I feel bad for saying that too. :)
4. I love animals! And I think that they love me. And I think that on some weird level I can communicate with them like Dr. Doolittle and I am not kidding about my special powers one bit.
5. Footloose is my favorite movie and I think Ren is a fox! I can also recite the movie and every song word for word.
6. I was in a sorority in college and while it was fun and I wouldn’t take it back – I sorta think that it perpetuates women being mean to each other and I am not necessarily a super fan of sororities anymore.
7. I am going on a cruise with the Bermans next week! We are going to play Bingo, swim with turtles and dolphins (Yep! I will be talking to them too!), and eat cookies by the pool with Dave’s family.

Happy Hanukkah everybody! Please enjoy a pic of last night’s festival of lights. It was the last crazy night! Please note the giant Jesus candle hiding behind the menorah too. Give JC a shout out!

Fortune Cookie say ...

Some days Dave leaves popsicles on the couch … other days he is meticulous. Is there a method to his madness?The other day we got Chinese delivery. Dave was taking FOR-EV-ER in the kitchen getting his dinner. When I called from the other room to see what he was doing all I heard was giggling. Then he returned with his plate - That looked like this. He was so pleased with himself and talked to me about the importance of presentation. Well Okay then.

Happy Happy Birthday!

Wow – Celese, Danielle, and James did an amazing job on my cube today!As you may know … I was an Alpha Xi Delta in college. Well if you ask a sister they will tell you that they are an Alpha Xi for life. Ummmm okay well anyhoo …

Celese did not miss a single detail. From the blue and gold to the bear she nailed it!And they also added some Hello Kitty in for good measure. Madison (Danielle’s daughter) sent me a Hello Kitty pen and notepad and Celese and Pat even gave me the same Hello Kitty card that Dave did this morning. Love it!

I love all animals but Hello Kitty is my fave! And I would take you out with a sorority song but I only remember the dirty ones and those are secret! I think we all know how well I can keep a secret too so ask me next time I see you and I will sing it for ya! :)

Berman vs Berman

A lot of daily life with Dave and I revolves around popsicles. I never really liked them much until we started dieting all the time and now I have an addiction (as does Dave) to sugar free popsicles. My drug of choice is Diet Dr.Pepper and Root Beer and Dave’s is Lifesaver flavored. We eat boxes at a time and that creates a lot of empty sticks!

I like to give Dave lectures on cleaning up after himself. I really like giving him lectures on throwing away his popsicle sticks. He doesn’t like to throw them away until there is like - a whole pile of them. And once I came home to a giant orange stain on the couch because he accidentally forgot about a popsicle and left it to melt! I am sure that I do stuff that annoys Dave too but he doesn’t have a blog - so he did something else genius to point out that I am not so perfect. He took this picture. On my phone. When I wasn’t looking. And then … I went to look for a picture and I saw that he had taken one of my popsicle stick graveyard beside my side of the bed.
Touché Berman! Watch your back.

Oh and yes – That is Make Love Like a Porn Star by Jenna Jameson on my bookcase. And yes I read it. And no – there wasn’t anything in there that I didn’t already know. Thanks for asking!

It's Fall Ya'll!

Life has been sorta uneventful lately but here is a peek into the excitement!
Dave’s mom got us a Wii. Wii weren’t sure if wii would be into it but it turns out that wii are. Dave really is! He got me a pink holder thingy for my controller (Dave is good like that) and he bought Guitar Hero III on Saturday. He was supposed to sleep over with me on Saturday night (I am babysitting for 2 weeks) but got all antsy to go home. Guess why? Sweatpants, popsicles, and Guitar Hero III anyone? Hell ya!This is Cooper! He is the kitty cat that I am babysitting along with 3 teenage ladies. You would think the ladies would be harder to handle but this little guy yells loud! He is all bendy and cute and he tires himself out yelling and then passes out. Doesn’t it look like he is wearing his best grey furry pants? He is my new best friend.We used gnomes in my office for an event we had. My gnome is now guarding my garden at home but my bosses’ gnomes are in his office. Every day someone moves them to hilarious places and we haven’t figured out who is moving them. (Or hello – they ARE Gnomes – maybe they are moving themselves!) And last week when we came in this is what they were doing. The horror! Gnome sex in the office is never appropriate. And I love it.
