| Gee Toto...Okay-
I made it here alive.
I have to go up near the owner's house to get internet and my cell phone does not get any reception at all until I drive about a mile away from the house. Yeah, I'm in the boonies. It's kind of nice though. A 15 minutedrive will get you most anything you want. Everything else is quite a ways away.
Haven't been anywhere exciting yet, but I am looking forward to seeing some new stuff.
The job is pretty good so far. I wish I had a desktop computer, my own desk, and my own phone. I would get SO much more done. Right now I am at a little table in a little corner of the Marketing/Sales office area and am on a laptop, which is slow and annoying. I honestly can't stand laptops. They are just not designed for comfort.
I had an AMAZING crab cake the other day. It was actually my boss' lunch, but after she found out I had not had a Maryland crab cake yet, she gave me her whole lunch, except the fries. It was almost nothing but meat and was just a little spicy with black pepper. I have to get more! I have barely started my seafood eating, but I have a feeling once I start, I won't be able to stop!!
Once I get my paycheck, I will get xanga premium again and be able to post lots of pictures!
That is it so far!

| So for those who don't know and that read my blog, I will be living in Maryland for the next 10 weeks. I got a summer internship in the sales and marketing department of a Ready Mix company called Chaney Enterprises.
I will be living here:
Living in Brandywine, MD and working in Waldorf, MD. When I found out I would be living in Brandywine I was a little excited. I am a big nerd and the Shire (where the hobbits live) is on the West bank of the Brandywine river. Yeah. I know that. It's kind of sad how much of a Lord of the Rings freak I am. I try not to show it too much.
Anyway, I will try to post pictures of the apartment and where I'm working when I get up there. However, I have been told the internet connection in the apartment is pretty bad because we are out in the boonies. I'm not sure how frequently I will be able to update this thing, so bear with me.
I'm not sure how I feel about the whole thing. One minute I am super excited and the next I'm ready to go ahead and decline the offer for the internship. I just have to keep telling myself it will be a good experience.
In other news, I went out shopping for shoes today and it never ceases to amaze me how FEW flat white shoes there are out in the world. They have every color but white. I'm almost 6' 1''. I do not need high heels to give me height and I try to avoid adding to my height any way that I can. Now that I have kind of grown into myself it is less about self confidence and more about safety issues. Being 6' 5" leads to things like putting my arms in ceiling fans when I stretch, hitting my knees on the edges of tables, etc. It's a danger being tall. I am still on the hunt for cute, professional, comfortable, flat white shoes.
I did have a good shopping day though. I managed to put together a semi cute outfit and find pants that were actually long enough for me that I didn't have to order off of the internet. If you know me, I spend most of my time looking completely disheveled and have a hard time putting "outfits" together. I'm usually okay with whatever is comfortable on. In the beauty world, comfort is not easy to find!
I'm spending this evening packing up all of my stuff. Tomorrow I need to get a new social security card and then I am spending the day with mom and Grandmama. Friday I go through emissions and I am off to the north!
I will try to keep pictures and stuff up to date while I am out there!

| I made dinner tonight and thought that the people who read my blog might like to try one of my favorite things to make, especailly with summer coming up.
It's easy to make and you only have to boil water for the ramen noodles. So no oven heat!! That's what makes it so great during the hot summer. The picture isn't exactly how I make it, but it is pretty close. I forgot to take a picture of what I made so I found this one online.
Boil Ramen noodles, but DON'T use the seasoning on them.
Get some peanut sauce from your local Thai restaurant. The sweet stuff. Its like a combo of sweet and sour and chili pepper sauce.
Slice up cucumbers, red bell peppers (I like to chop these into bite size pieces), lettuce, and mint. Also chop some peanuts up or get them pre-cut up. Then get some very thinly sliced roast beef from the deli.
Arrange all that on the plate as show above and pour the peanut sauce over the noodles ( I pour it over all of it because it is sooo good.)
Or you could just toss it all together like a big salad. That's how it gets eaten anyway. People mix it up on their plate when they get it. It tastes better.
Cheap, quick, light. It's a very good lunch or dinner.
Enjoy.
Also, because I was really proud of it, I will post pictures of Quentin's birthday cake.
Without candles:
With candles:
Yep, it is half of a die!!! I felt pretty smart.

| I had a momentary mind lapse.So, I don't know why I posted 2 pictures and then quit. I promise not all that is on my mind are Lemon Drop Martinis and Bricktop's food. Though sometimes, I wish life was just that easy.
Honestly, I don't even know what to write about anymore. I've given up on people. They are stupid and no matter how many times I complain about it, it does not change. I wish smacking people when they needed it wouldn't lead to a possibility of being in the police station.
I need goals. I don't really have any.
I also need a diary no one gets to read... that includes you Mom. I know you sneak to read my diary(s).
I wish I had more time to dedicate to the posts that I create in my head during the day. They would be much more interesting than this drivel. Any topic ideas?

| Of Course No One Watches The WatchmenThis is the only reason I even remotely enjoyed watching Watchmen.
He may be a complete ass in the movie, but he was great to look at after being bombarded with a giant blue penis, lesbians, and not so great sex scenes with a wanna be Batman and a girl trying to be like mommy Jupiter. Add that to the SAW like gore, and I couldn't help but wishing Quentin and I had just stayed at Logan's.
One of my favorite crap quotes from the movie is when Lil Miss Jupiter is sucking on Manhattan's fingers for foreplay and she says, "Your fingers are like sucking on batteries."  Who wants that? Why would that be a good thing? In fact, I'm pretty sure that's a bad thing. Too bad little Jupiter's daddy is the Comedian. He's the only one worth having sex with in this cast of characters... if you can get past the rough rape scenarios he seems to enjoy.
If they had left out the sex and nudity shots, I could have saved at least 45 minutes of my time. I thought this was supposed to be about superheros, not murdering sex starved psychopaths in fancy costumes.
Overall, this movie is a waste of 3 hours. Don't bother seeing it in the theater if you are still interested. Just wait for pay per view or rent it later. That's about all it's worth.
In other news, I have decided I want to make these sometime soon. They are just too cute.
