the Flood

so i generally carry a bottle of spring water everywhere i go. hence my last blog entry. i often carry it around in my purse. no big deal. i have huge purses.

last night we had the grand idea to go to Christopher's - our favorite neighborhood spot in Wayne - after our cheerleading meeting to discuss some "cheer business". the girls had to vote on captains for next year at our meeting and i had all the slips of paper in my purse. upon arriving at Christopher's, i went to retrieve the papers out of my purse and wondered why they were wet. (now, it WAS raining outside pretty hard. but they were inside my purse.)

well, it was because the next great FLOOD had occurred INSIDE my purse. i was carrying around the contents of an entire FULL water bottle sloshing around with all my accessories. iPod, digital camera, iPhone, checkbook, planner which is my life of social calendar events, make up. EVERYTHING was in an inch of water. good thing the leather purse really retained that water and didn't leak anything, just let it all absorb inside my electronics! ughhhhh.

these things just don't happen to me! haha. so i continued emptying the contents of my purse all over our table and blotting incessantly with paper towels. wringing out my iPod socks. throwing away disintegrated tissues. what fun.

surprisingly - everything WORKS today!! so happy for hair dryers at rachel's house :)

lesson learned - don't tote water bottles in your large hand bag.

4 bottles a day

so i've been trying to drink 4 bottles of water a day. do you know how HARD this is?? a normal 16.9 fluid oz bottle of Deer Park or Poland Spring. but then i refill it at our filtered water cooler in the kitchen.

so far, i've been able to easily get 3 down. i can't seem to squeeze in that 4th as hard as i try. how did i come up with 4? no idea! just decided that was the goal to achieve and that it would be good for my body.

in the meantime, i'm literally peeing every half hour i swear. and it's clear. i guess that means i'm pretty hydrated! which makes sense.

how many can you drink? i challenge you to beat 3 or 4! happy guzzling.

The Bachelor Sickness

that's what i believe it is. and i have it. i caught it. i swear i am not a tv addict in entirety. just on certain shows i have a weak spot for. this is one of the front runners. i had never watched the Bachelor/Bachelorette until Jillian's season last year. yes, i will blame this solely on Rebecca Nadelhoffer and Rachel Lenzo. that's right, it's their fault i now have this sickness among thousands of other women (and men) across the country.

now i'm VERY excited for Ali being the new Bachelorette so i immediately had to google the start date this morning. which is Monday, May 24, 9-11pm EST. for those interested. it's already on my calendar and i'm brainstorming who will host the kick-off party.

we'll miss you Jake. we will not miss others. like the girl you chose.

beware: it is highly addictive and will cause religious meetings once a week among food and wine. and best friends. and non stop laughter.
