Just when you thought it was safe to have your picture taken with the inflatable dinosaur...

You know what's great?

Watching the local news team try to change their expressions quickly after you know they've been watching the tv show before their newscast. It's great. Tonight I was watching Alias and right after an intense scene there was a live commercial for the news. Bob Opsahl and Martie Salt had these shocked looks on their faces for about 2 seconds before they switched over to news mode. It's great!!! You have to look for it though. The switch over is even better because they go from being shocked to not knowing how they should look to smooth reporters in t-minus 3 seconds. you think I'm crazy but I'm not. Watch for it...

Blast from the Past

Whoa. Today I went into the dance studio because we were taking pictures for our recital. Yes, I am doing a recital but that is besides the point. The person taking the pictures was a friend of mine from junior high school. The problem was we had a falling out of sorts(I can't exactly remember the exact reason) so neither one of us acknowledged the other. It was definitely odd since she was the one taking the pictures. I imagine the fight that we had was probably something really juvenile since we were only 15 years old at the time. Anyway, we hadn't talked since 9th grade so it seemed odd to just be like "Hey, how's it going?". I don't know. Usually I can get past it and just say HI, but not this time. I don't have a grudge against her or anything, I just really didn't have anything to say. Oh well. Maybe next time...

Doing things I don't want to do

Do you ever go along with things because it's harder to think up an excuse not to? Is this not a ridiculous way to live? I say that if I really don't want to do something and it's not something that I am required to do(i.e. go to the doctor, etc.) then I should be able to say "NO" and not have to explain myself at all. I know that I tend to worry about what other people think about me and I've just about had it. Either I have true friends or I don't and if they don't want to hang out with me because I say "NO" once in a while then screw them! Ahhhh...I feel better now.

The sky loves me.

What a Weekend!!

On Friday I went to a poker party at my friend Michelle's house. I did not partake in any poker because 1) I had no money, and 2)I like to keep the money that I have(seeing as how I am between jobs). Anyway, I somehow got swept up in a heartpounding game of fooseball with my friend Jess. The best part was that we both sucked equally. My friend Emily jokingly pointed out that she had never seen a ball actually stop on the game board. It was actually the most entertaining game of fooseball I had ever played. Usually people are so much better than me that they railroad me at the beginning and are done with it. Not this time, my friend. We were screaming and talking to the fooseball and dancing and falling over laughing. I hope I never get any better. HAHAHA.

Saturday was interesting. I had this gift certificate to this tanning place over in Cocoa Beach that I had won on the radio. It was for $40. Yeah, I don't tan in beds so I went there and started looking at all their non-tanning items which were few. I ended up getting two candles and a bag to hold my yoga/exercise mat in. The lady was laughing at me when I was going through and smelling all the candles, but hey, you can't have stinky candles. And they had a lot of stinky candles. A. Lot.

After the whole tanning store excitement, I went and hung out at Macys for a bit because 1) I have a gift certificate to them as well and 2) I was killing time before meeting a group of theatre folk at the Olive Garden. The dressing room at Macys was just weird. The doors have diagonal slats in them and you can pretty much see right in them when people are dressing. There are signs everywhere that say the dressing room is being monitored for theft and whatever, but doesn't looking at people while they try on clothes go against some sort of amendment or something? Very odd indeed.

It is finally time to head over to the OG and so I do and I get one of those black discs that secures my name on the waitlist. Now when I'm meeting people I am always on time. Maybe not when I'm going to work, but definitely when I'm meeting people. We had said for everyone to meet at 5:45. I was there at 5:25. AT 5:45 There were only 5 out of the 9 people that were supposed to be there and I was HUNGRY. Come on people!! It turns out one person was just getting off of work, two people had gone to the wrong OG, and another person was taking 40+ minutes to drive somewhere that should've taken around 25 minutes max. Anyway, we order we order we order we eat we eat we eat and then we drive we drive we drive to the theatre to watch this British comedy that might've been a total loss except there were some quirky characters thrown into the mix that saved the day.

So this should answer the question, "What did Tina do all weekend?" because I know you were waiting by your computers for me to post this.

Here are the newest additions to the family. 2 Bright shiny red kayaks.
