I don't like the ice cream truck because...

...the first several notes of the song that's played over and over and over sound just like the hymn "The Love of God"

"To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry"....

and then I have just two lines of a song stuck in my head, and it wasn't even playing!

DCFC!

Zach and I went to see Death Cab For Cutie last night, surprisingly that's what Zach wanted for his birthday, I didn't complain :) It was a really fun show, and the weather was perfect. I was glad that we got reserved seats, that made things easier. I saw faux Emilee, it was crazy! it's like this girl got up, put on an Emilee suit then went into Emilee's closet, put on her clothes, and then said "I don't work at Westmont, so I'm going to put hot pink stripes in my hair!" I think the real Emilee would have been a little jealous.

The show was great, but people watching was also entertaining....well actually in this case people watching was nauseating. I tried to capture the extreme awkwardness of the couple sitting in front of us but I think I would have needed a video camera to get the full effect. I'll try to explain: he wouldn't stop touching her hair...no that's not it...he wouldn't stop doing her hair for her, like kept pulling out her hair tie and handing it to him so he would redo her ponytail? then there was the massaging, I'm surprised they didn't pull out oils, then she decided to "dance" in front of him, while he used her butt as a drum...maybe it was so gross because I could see her crack half the night...or maybe it's because they seemed like a dating couple, but also like 7 year old siblings.

Then there was the lady next to me.... I'm going to say that Death Cab For Cutie is not the most rock out all over the place type of music. Most of the crowd seemed to agree with me, this lady did not. The only way I can think to describe it is by a Friends reference...that episode where they're dancing for the new years eve special, and Joey gets put with that flailing lady? That was this lady! Her legs were places they shouldn't be, she was shimmying, she was doing this toddler dance with her stomach? she kept hitting me with her butt? It was strange, even stranger when her boyfriend (obviously not a fan of the flail) started arguing with her about it! Which just made her flail harder. I tried to depict the scene, but alas, I'm not right handed, so my Paint skills are not great.

Zach's company party is this Saturday. It's at the zoo, and there is a Polynesian theme...Zach wants to go as a lion. I told him that's not Polynesian, and he said that theme was dumb, so he's going with "zoo" theme.

Monday

Yesterday was terrible... terrible because it sucks when the auto shop WAY overcharges you for simple repairs. I chose this shop because I had heard really good things about them... guess who's getting a low star review when I get my car back. grrr.

So to make myself feel better I went home and gave myself a pedicure... and almost got all the primer paint off my feet. Warning: Gripper primer does exactly what it says, it's almost impossible to get off. Unfortunately I didn't realize that before I got it all over myself...Zach was painting in his dress socks, so he didn't have this problem. But now our living room looks spectacular :) "Swiss Coffee" is so much better than "Wood Panel"

My favor boxes came in the mail. But without instructions, so I sat there folding it a hundred different ways before it finally made a box. I think I like how they turned out though!

Thanks to the best tape ever that I found! http://www.organize.com/home-chic-home-damask-packing-tape.html

Charlie was VERY happy that I was playing with boxes and ribbon, this is pretty much how he looked all night.
