1.  I really like the new Chris Brown song, and wish I could understand the lyrics and rap along with the song.

2.  I simply cannot write a capital "I" without the extra lines on the top and bottom (or its roof and shoes, as I like to say).  I just cannot do it!  The "I without" is so much prettier at times, and I'll start out with the good intention to make a cute I.  And I will get the envelope addressed or whatever, and the I (in MI, for example) sticks out at me like a sore thumb.  

3.  I also really like cupcakes.

4.  Dear Mr. Lupe Fiasco:  there is no such thing as a win-doo.  Just so you know.

1.  Just recently joined Pinterest.  And Polyvore.  How is it that I am so behind on web trends?  I mean, I practically have to find new cool sites by stalking cooler people  than myself who are in the know.  Okay, not practically - it's definitely something I do.  Hello!  This is how I found facebook!  In 2001, I was sitting in my Spanish 1225 class at OU and overheard Cool Guy asking Cool Girl if she was on "The Facebook" yet.  That made me look it up when I got back to the DG house, and the rest is Social Network history.  It's weird when I think that when I joined, the site was called THEfacebook - that seems weird to me.  Anyway, the point of the story is that I wish people who have clever ideas would run them by me first so that I can stay in the loop.  K thanks.

2.  I am literally being driven mad by my desire to have a baby.  I enjoy things going according to schedule, and by my accounts, this should have happened right away.  Instead, it's been 7 months with no luck so far.  Grrrrrr.

3.  My desire for said child is making me excited for a baby shower I am co-hosting tomorrow afternoon. Don't worry, I won't steal her baby.   But only because she's my Big from college.  She's having a little boy this summer - Baby C.  Awwwwwww.  I am really excited to see her and her cute little belly!!!  For the shower, I am in charge of decorations, and I have been undergoing a crash course in baby shower decor.  I have tons of stuff ready and I cannot wait to get it all set up!  I am definitely doing a blog post solely on the shower and all my decor I created.  I even made a diaper cake!

4.  A new hot dog restaurant opened a few days ago, from the same people who brought us Big Truck Tacos.  Since I love BTT (usually - I always get the Fifth, and sometimes it just doesn't work!), I bet I will love this place.  And since both are within walking distance of our house, even better!  Even though I stopped at Forward Foods (LOVE!!!) last night and bought ingredients for baked ziti, the hot dog place wins and I will have to make the ziti once home from Dallas on Sunday!

Here are things I've been thinking about, in no particular order...

1.  I became hooked on VersaSpa tans a few years ago when it was suggested to me before a friend's wedding (by the bride - I know, I know!  I'm pasty!!). Well, I loved it.  It is so simple to become tan, and requires zero skin cancer on my part.  So I joined a tanning salon that offers these spray tans, and go occasionally (although probably not often enough to justify the squillion dollars said package costs me each month, but that's neither here nor there).  Well, as summer has begun, I've been going more frequently to spray tan, and my skin has completely gone to crap.  It's really kind of creeping me out actually, and I may have to forego the spray tans.  I am still deciding which is the greater evil, although I think the problem skin is winning out.

2.  I am a complete sucker for all things makeup related, and I bought the lipstick color that Kate Middleton wore for her wedding (Bobbi Brown - Sandwash Pink), and it looks HORRIBLE on me!!  It always shocks me when I see a color look so good on someone only to find that it does not suit my coloring at all.  Tear.

3.  I have a candle problem.  I will buy ANYTHING in candle form, especially if it's made by Tyler Candle Co.  I have TWO entire shelves in my storage closet dedicated to candles and smelly-good things.  See?

I wonder how long it'd take to burn them all.  I cannot stop buying them - I think I may have a problem.
