For all y'all who love P&P here is an awesome new BBC Miniseries that is right up your alley!

Love it

North & South

...and it has one of those painfully romantic/devastating proposal scenes that I love so dearly.

Okay, in the last week I have read Chosen by P.C. Cast and Love, Rosie by Cecelia Ahern. Back on track, baby. Reviews will come next weekend, when its just me alone with my computer for 48 hours. Yay!

"Mom you really should start a blog."

"Where?"

"On Vox. That's where mine is. Its pretty rad."

"Is it free?"

"Why it certainly is."

"I am afraid all I would do is bitch."

"You're perfect."

I had this conversation with my mother 2.2 seconds ago. Then I realized that no, most of you don't bitch. Well not my neighborhood anyway. Most of you tell delightful little anecdotes of your everyday lives, that usually, well always, leave me rolling on the floor laughing and giving imaginary high fives to you.

So thanks.

So why haven't I blogged in ages? I thought I was bored of it. Last week our free stolen internet decided to up and leave us and I realized I was not bored, but needed my blog more than ever.

Blogging is therapeutic, as is reading others blogs. It is like reading the newspaper to boring people. Reading your blogs is the paper/coffee/donut of my life.

Okay. Our apartment is not boring. It is just so white! White walls everywhere and ITS FREAKING ME OUT! We do have the option to paint but the mere thought of repainting things white totally crushed that dream.

Here is what we are working with:

Here is what we have managed to do color wise:

...oh and Kelsey was there too.

Vicki picked us up today and we were heading to the mall.
"I think there is a Sonic Burger over by the mall. They have the most delicious drinks in the entire UNIVERSE" she says.

"I could use a drink THAT delicious," Erin replies

Turns out that VIcki, though living in the area for several years, does not remember anything but general directions of things so Erin busted out Andy, her handy GPS navagator.

"No Sonic Burger found," says Andy.

":(" says Erin, Vicki, and Kelsey.

"I think there was a A & W by there too..." says Vicki.

"Beep boop bop...A & W is 8.2 miles away in the opposite direction," says Andy.

"Are you in?"
"I'm in."
"Me too."
"Let's do this shit."

Ten minutes later they haven't gone that far, for it is basically rush hour.

"Let's make  a deal," Erin say, "We cant stop until we get Diet Cherry Limeades. No matter what happens."

"Deal."
"Deal."

They get closer and closer as Andy navigates them through the rocky SW Portland terrain.

"Your destination is on the left," says the little automated superhero, "you have arrived."

Uhhhh...no. No, they have not.

No Sonic. No ADub. No nothing.

Oh crap. They circle the parking lot a few times, finding nothing.

"Why don't we just call information?"

"GOOD IDEA!"

Yeah, it was back where this story began.

On the way back, and they did go back, because they had a solemn vow, remember? On the way back the car broke down, they  got arrested, and Erin lost all of the work that she was doing while  riding on the back of a cheetah.

It was all worth it when they got Diet Cherry Limeades. Onion rings? Not so much.

Found an apartment! Get the keys tomorrow! I am totally freaking out! Yay!

A friend is someone you can talk on the phone to and once you are bored you can say:

"Okay, I am bored of you now. Bye."

or

"I am done talking to you now. I want to go watch Buffy. Bye."

...and they won't even be offended.

1. Buffy. Oh gosh, I know. I made fun of Emily and everyone who likes this show for oh so long and then bam, Stephenie Meyer forces me to develop a non creepy obsession with Vampirism. Jess got me seasons 1&2 for my birthday but I am already through season four. Its just plain awesome. I am still very embarrassed.

Spike

I do find this picture a little creepy though. There are just too many muscles here. Spike is HILARIOUS though. Love it.

2. The Killers and Keane, especially these two songs.

3. Madeleine L'Engle:

I am currently reading A Swiftly Tilting Planet, the third book in the Wrinkle in TIme series and I just bought A Circle of Quiet which is the first book in an adult fic series, I guess. Very excited.
