Argh Craigslist...

I, yet again, need a roommate. BUT - if someone would rather just give me a million dollars I would settle for this:

Oh, right...sorry

Apparently, not only do I not know half the words on Katie's list
but I also have a habit of telling people that the words they are using are not actually words.
I.E.
In recent conversation I learned that "interpolate" is actually a word no matter how many times I protest that it is not. In case you were wondering it was used in the context of definition 3.

Received the Following TODAY:

When I saw this in my mailbox today I thought "What?"
"This has to be wrong, are those hollies? Christmas was nearly six months ago..."
And then I saw it was from Chaing Mai and I suspected Jenni had bought, yet again, some crazy Thai stationary and was playing a joke on me.
I NEVER in a million years suspected that she would actually peer pressure her friends to send me a Christmas card in the middle of May. But then, it is from Nathan and Paul and from what I have heard it is just the thing they would do, peer pressure or not.

Thanks Nathan and Paul. Best wishes to you too and a Happy Christmas! I will cherish it always...BTW You spelled Leeper wrong. I sure hope that was on purpose or Jenni might have to have words with you.

The smell of:

I feel like I have done this before but I am inspired to do so agian anyway.
I love the smell of....

• freshly sharpened pencils
• just rained on sidewalks/ hot summer sidewalks with water splashed on them
  
• jasmine
• pine trees
• rivers with fish (weird one -specific to memories)
• wild flowers
• the ocean (specifically Nor Cal Ocean)
• fresh bread
• those plasticy static sticker things that came with the books when I was a kid in themes like Rainbow Bright and My Little Pony.- Just figured out they were called Colorforms.
  
• Converse shoes.
• my Mom's cooking (anything she cooks...)
• Crayons
• Bookstores/ New Books
• hay (and believe it or not I don't mind the smell of Horse manure. Just smells like a barn to me. Also weird.)
• Grass
• Dirt-only associated with camping though.
• Downey Fabric Softener

Revision/ ADD:

• Katie's Hair on a fresh, spring day (see comments - no I am not creepy)
  

JLee is a jerk

These days all the celebrities are getting shortened names so I thought "Hey I might as well do the same for my sister." And by the title of this you can see that I did. Anyway get to the point Tamara.
Right
So Jenni aka "JLee" is a jerk. Well not actually but her credit card company thinks so AND they have a recorded phone call to prove it. Tehehehe. (think Dr Evil laugh).
Let me explain...Sometimes JLee needs to use her credit card and since she is in Thailand she can't really pay it off in Baht. So she has a check sent to me, I deposit it and pay her card off for her. Simple right? Well I didn't get the chance to take care of it right away this time so of course I started receiving rather irritating phone calls on my cell phone. How in the - did they get that number anyway?
I was not amused. This is me not amused:
















End of story? I pretended to be JLee to see what they wanted and then got REALLY irritated and snapped. I was the world's biggest jerk and this lady was just doing her job, not listening to me, but alas just doing her job. Good thing they think it was JLee.

"Man, I just dealt with the biggest jerk on the planet. Make a note in JLee's file so the next person that calls will know that she is horrid." -The Credit Card Lady (quoted with the accent I couldn't understand)
Sorry about that JLee....You should work on your attitude...

Recent Conversations: Evil Plan? -Check

Tamara:"Allie! Do you realise what you've done!"














Allie:"Uhhh, no?!"
Tamara:"It is only 11 'o clock!"


Allie:"Wait how is this my fault?"





















Tamara:" Well you prayed to God that he would slow time down this morning."


















Allie:"You're right Tam. Its part of my normal morning routine:
Coffee- check
Pray to God he will slow the morning down- check
Take shower half asleep- check
Twenty-five jumping jacks- check
And then I begin to do what I do everyday Tamara, Try to take over the world."

This Guy

Blame it on Allie, she has brought it to my attention that there are a lot of MacGyver wannabes out there. This one is my fave:

If you have ever watched the intro you will know that he has almost the whole thing down, well at least the best he could do with out a stunt man. Awesome.
