So I'll admit it..I am a tv junkie. DVR is one of the greatest inventions ever. One of my favorite times of the year is seeing which new shows are coming out and deciding which ones to add my the dvr que.
So I'm going to give you a list of the new fall tv shows I am most excited for: (p.s. Sidra- I left the central times in just for you :) )
Heart of Dixie - Monday, Sept. 26 at 8/7 c
Summer is back and I'm beyond excited!! Not sure how much I love the concept of the show (NY doctor moves to Alabama)..but I love Rachel Bilson so I will definitely be watching. Keeping my fingers crossed Seth makes a guest appearance :)
X Factor - Wednesday, Sept. 21 at 8/7 c
Simon is back and I am pumped! Not as excited about Paula being back :/ I like the concept of the show - including bands, duets, and soloists, and no age limits- plus the judges mentor their contestants.
Whitney - Thursday, Sept. 22 at 9:30/8:30c
I've never seen her stand-up...but the commercials look promising!
New Girl - Tuesday, Sept. 20 at 9/8c
Ever since Elf I've loved Zoey Deschanel, can't wait to see what this show has to offer. E! ranked it the best new show of the fall...hope it lives up to all the hype!
Suburgatory Wednesday, Sept. 28 at 8:30/7:30c
I read a review that this was a mean-girls-esque show with tons of SNL guest stars...can't go wrong with that!
Up all Night Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 10/9c
I really like Maya Rudolph and Christina Applegate..hopefully this show can be as funny as the two of these ladies are.
Song of the Day: Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People - definitely one of the songs of the summer!

Why You Should Never Delete a Friend Off of Facebook...
So a while back I had one particular friend on Facebook that would drive me nuts. The daily posts of what he was eating, where he was going, and what day of his work schedule it was on a particular day drove me nuts. At one point I had enough, I just couldn't take it anymore. Something had to be done. So smart me thought, I'll just delete him, that way I won't have to deal with these ridiculous posts. Little did I know that I could have easily just "blocked" his status updates and would never see his updates when I logged in, and he would continue to see that we were still "friends".
A few months of facebook bliss passed when I got a friend request from him...oh crap I thought..he must have realized he was deleted as my friend. I hadn't really seen much of him so I wasn't really worried about whether or not he would notice if we were "friends" or not on facebook. A few days passed and I still hadn't decided what I wanted to do...ignore his request? or allow him to be my friend again?
During my lunch break one day I happened to run into him, it was already kind of awkward since the friend request was looming and I still hadn't accepted him..and he was the type that would definitely know. We started some small talk and a conversation about another mutual acquaintance of ours "defriending" him and not accepting his new friend request was brought up...this was just getting too awkward and I had to leave. The real icing on the cake was I later found out that he conveniently posted on his facebook that he would be at the store that I ran into him at...if he was my friend, I would have known this and could have avoided the whole situation.
So of course when I got home I thought, I can't add him right now..he'll totally know I was avoiding adding him as my friend..so I waited a few days and added him. And blocked his status updates.
The moral of this story is...don't delete someone that is annoying you on facebook, just simply block their posts, otherwise awkward encounters will happen, and you will be stuck in my situation.

God has a Silly Sense of Humor
So a few weeks ago I decided to go to church for Palm Sunday. I got to church a little late, so I slipped into the pew in the very back. Church had already started so I was trying to be as quiet as possible. As soon as I sat down a gentleman next to me said (in his outside voice might I add), "Good Morning!". I responded with good morning and thought to myself, is this kid for real? He then proceeded to discuss with the person he was with how he was trying to make a cross out of his palm and the difficulty he was having with it. All I could think of was how ridiculously loud this guy was being when we were suppose to be quiet and reverant. I think the lady behind us got so fed up with how loud he was being that she eventually just gave him her palm that she had made a cross out of to shut him up.
He then turned to me and asked me what page the reading was on, again in his not so quiet church voice.
After communion, I quietly went back to my pew and kneeled quietly to be reverant and pray (which was what everyone else in church was doing), except for my friend sitting next to me. He thought this would be a great opportunity to introduce himself (again in his not so quiet church voice). He asked what my name was, if I was a student at Gonzaga, and what I was going to do on this beautiful Sunday afternoon. I was in such shock that he was talking so loudly during this time of silence that I tried to just quietly answer him so he would leave me alone. Once we sat down, he turned to me and asked me for a pen. I handed him a pen out of my purse and watched as he wrote his name and number down on the collection envelope. He handed me the envelope and told me to give him a call sometime if I ever wanted to get a drink or hangout. I gladly took the envelope and left church as soon as I could.
As I left church, I thought to myself..touche God. Touche.
Song of the day: "Someone Like You" by Adele..I HIGHLY recommend her new album 21. It is beyond amazing!

Snooks.
So last weekend was the St. Patty's day celebration here and town. My friend and I decided to go out aoround 5pm..when we got to the bar, almost everyone was already completely wasted. It was pretty obvious we had a lot of catching up to do. As we headed to the bar, a group of guys started talking to us, as I turned to my friend to ask her something I heard that guy standing next to me refer to me as "Snooki". I turned to him and asked, did you just call me Snooki?!?! He responded, "ya, I did, you're just like Snooki cause you're little, you're like a little meatball" and started laughing. I don't think that was a compliment. And I never talked to him again.
Song of the day: "Come Pick Me Up" by Ryan Adams. I heard this song acoustically by this local guy that plays in bars and could not figure out what the song was called or who sang it but loved it. Last week I was watching American Idol and one of the guys sang it, I was so excited I finally found this song!! The guy on AI totaly ruined it, but this version is waaayyy better..

The Beibs
I have a confession...I kind of love Justin Beiber. Not in the OMG I love Justin Beiber and want to marry him kind of way..but more in the damn, this kid is super talented..i love this kid. I got to watch his movie in 3d with some super cute kids, and I think I may have been a little more excited than they were. I can't believe how talented he was at such a young age..its a great documentary..not sure if the 3d was necessary, or if it was worth the movie ticket, but it's definitely worth a rental! I will admit, when I heard his first song I would make fun of him, I mean what does a 13 year old know about love...but I've found a new respect for him.
Even Glee has Beiber fever and that makes me very happy :)
How could you not just want and get up and start dancing to these songs?!

Facebook.
I will admit, I am pretty addicted to facebook. I enjoy stalking the occasional person and it's a great way to stay connected to people.
The Social Network is a great movie I recommend everyone watch. It is so amazing how one little idea has become a national phenomena.
But, there are just a few things that just drive me absolutely crazy about certain people who abuse the privelage of being able to use Facebook. Once you read my list, most of you will probably know exactly who I am referring to in the majority of my list.
So here it goes, a few things that drive me crazy about Facebook users:
1. Just because we went to High School together does not give you the right to be my facebook friend. If we didn't talk or hang out in high school what makes you think I want you to see all of my personal business?!
2. If we are friends on facebook, please don't act like you don't know me when I see you in public.
3. If your spouse is sitting right next to you, you don't need to comment on their page. Nobody wants to know that she doesn't understand her math homework.
4. I don't care if today is Friday, but for you today is Monday because it is your first day of work for the week.
5. Enough with the lol's and :)'s....nobody is that happy.
6. I don't need a play by play of your day. Nobody's life is that exciting, not even B. Spears.
7. If you constantly have to post on facebook how in love you are with someone, more than likely you are tryng to hide how unhappy you are and are over compensating. Like I said, nobody is that happy all the time...and p.s. facebook isn't a romantic and personal way to tell someone you love them, the whole world can see it.
Feel free to add to the list.... :)

Tias Tortilla Chips
These are my new favorite chips. And they are healthy(er) too!! I found them in the organic food aisle at Fred Meyer. Always exciting when I find good food that's good for you too! Salsa Picante is my favorite. So delish.

Work.
Oh how I wish I had a cuss jar at work right now....
Some times when employees are bitchy with me I just want to say, "It's not my fault your life sucks and you're not getting laid."
Song of the day: We'll Be Alright by Travie McCoy. I'll be alright :)
