You ever have one of those great weekends that's great because nothing that exciting happened? That doesn't make sense, does it. i should make a list.
1. i saw a polka band. no, this is not a joke. it wasn't intentional either.... but at the mall they were having a health fair and the entertainment for this event was.... a polka band. i suppose having to hear that all day would inspire me to get healthier. i also really want to learn to play the accordion now. no, not really. well...
2. i'm going to take a moment here to be a girl. and the female readers will understand this. but i got so darn excited yesterday when i was trying on new dress pants for work at NY&Co. and had to buy a smaller size than i usually wear. i've really been trying lately, to eat better and get active. and its nice when i can see the reward for the effort. and to make it better they were on sale for 8 bucks. you can't beat dress pants for eight dollars.
3. yeah then i turn around and bake a pan of brownies today. i used to bake brownies all the time (you didn't know that did you? me, bake things!) but i hadn't in awhile. i think i also cheated death or at least food poisoning because i think the eggs were past the 'sell by' date. oh well. it was nice to just hang out today with my music blaring, channelling the Dude in my bathrobe, getting stuff done around here. that is until...
4. my idiot dog ran away. i was dumping water outside from mopping and i barely had the door open before she took off. so i took off after her not even thinking that i was wearing my bathrobe. i was the epitome of stereotypical trailer trash, running down the road yelling at my dog. and you know the angrier i got the more the twang came out. needless to say, she spent a good part of the afternoon in the kennel and i no longer want a second dog!
5. I've recently become aquainted with the work of Anita O'Day. She was a jazz singer in the 40s-50s. I love this kind of music. And her story is an interesting one. That's my musical selection for you for today.
6. no thats a lie. other musical selections include Ben Folds singing my fav song and Ellen Degeneres' Bathroom Concert Series. I also have this theory that john mayer is one of the best guitarists of our (our?) generation, even if he does seem to act like a douchebag.
7. apologies for not being on here as often as i normally am. i've been stewing on myspace a lot. but i think i worked all that nonsense out finally. however i'll prob drop off the radar for a few days mid-week. so apologies in advance.
8. i got my new kicks so i am now ready to start this running nonsense with tonya. :) we're going to become runners, just you wait. if not, we're going to be damn fast walkers.
9. i think you can tell a lot about a person by looking at their eyes. i think thats why i feel the need to always make sure people look me in the eye.

i haven't heard much on it for a while, but i read something about a canadian company wanting to set up a very small scale hydro electric thing at the dam, just to kind of test out its generating capabilities.
