i always have to take a minute to upload a picture of me where i don't look too horrible.

at least i look better than i felt that day. it's a cropped shot. the rest of it has my two closest work friends. it was the last day of one of them.

i've been miserable ever since...

I DID IT!

i captured the illusive "rolen sleeps like a dead cockroach" picture!

my morning car conversation

*car radio* coming up next - be caller number 9 and have a chance to win hannah montanna tickets before the even go on sale on wednesday - we'll be playing kid's bop singing bee!

*nina* MOMMY!!! MOMMY!!! MOMMY!!!!!

*me* Nina - i'm trying.

*phone* beep. beep. beep. redial. beep. beep. beep. redial. beep. beep. beep. redial. beep. beep. beep.

*nina* MOMMY!!! YOU KNOW ALL HANNAH'S SONGS! YOU CAN WIN ME TICKETS!!!

*phone* beep. beep. beep. redial. beep. beep. beep. redial. beep. beep. beep. redial. beep. beep. beep.

*nina* MOOOOMMY!!!

*me* nina - i told you i'm tryin. can you hear the busy signal???

*phone* beep. beep. beep. redial.

*nina* yes but i REALLY REALLY REALLY wanna go!

*me thinking* you saw her last year sillyhead.

*phone* beep. beep. beep. redial.

*nina with sad eyes while being dropped off at grandma's house* you aren't going to give up are you???

*me thinking* stupid puppy dog eyes!

*phone* beep. beep. beep. redial. beep. beep. beep. redial. beep. beep. beep. redial. beep. beep. beep.

*me* YOU DUMMY! IT'S "TELL ME BOY NOW WOULDN'T IT BE SWEET?"

*phone* beep. beep. beep. redial. beep. beep. beep. redial. beep. beep. beep. redial. beep. beep. beep.



and thus - with a beep beep beep - i have once again failed to secure nina's everlasting happiness with hannah montana tickets. darn you y98! don't you know better than to have those contests at a time when a kid might be in the car guilting her mom!

so i got so depressed yesterday....

i was walking around the office with the keys for our new office space downstairs and i said "i am the key master."

my intern looked at me like i was strange - which i'm totally used to. he had no clue.

i was like "it's a total movie reference! you should know that!"

he asked if it was from some old movie that was before his time.

i said "it's ghostbusters!"

and he said "exactly - it's an old movie."

*sniffle*

isn't that sad??

pssst....

it's still hot....

so for your entertainment - here's pics from our day trip to springfield with nina.

she even rubbed lincoln's nose - after i lifted her up to do it. his nose was higher than i remembered it being....

hey kristine...

did you get my email that i can't make it sunday!?!?!?

fyi.

it's hot.


that is all.

yes sir - that's my intern!

my intern and his friends are trying to become you tube famous. so i thought i'd help.

here's the opening sequence to their new show - chris 'n chair.

more to come i'm sure.

misuse of the hello kitty kitty!

how on earth could sweet little hello kitty kitty be considered a form of punishment? she's so SWEET!!!
