So my parents (sadly, before I was born, drat!) went up to N.Y. and my grandfather bought them tickets to see Les Miserables on Broadway. They got there and they were waiting for it to start and it did. Then the turntable stopped.

Anyone who has seen the show, knows that the turn-table is a huge part of the show.

So the people came up after a while and said "we're having some difficulties, anyone who wants to stay, can, we'll start again in about an hour, anyone else can go and you can get your money back."

no one moved.

They sat there for an hour and finally it started - now this show is pretty long aboout 2 hours and 30 minutes I think - so needless to say it was a pretty amazing show because at the end the actors were clapping for the audience.

Anyway..

Has anyone seen this really obnoxious Dunkin' Donuts commercial for their smoothies? It has a bunch of different kids sitting in a car and they describe where they're going. They say stuff like 'swimming', 'soccer', ballet', 'oboe'...and then it says 'and last but not least...' and shows the mother driving the car and she suddenly screams 'KARATEEEEEEE!' Man, it's stupid. And I'll have you know that I tried one of those smoothies before I even saw that commercial and it was gross. It was warm, and wasn't even mixed well. The yogurt was all congealed on the side of the cup. Gross.

I'm bored and groggy. I feel like this:

And yes, I hate that commercial as well. Along with their other annoying commercial where they sing that stupid song, I won't even go through the words because then it will be stuck in my head and that's the last thing I want right now.

But I had two different smoothies and they aren't that bad. The strawberry banana wasn't very good, but the mango passion fruit was okay. I still have to try the wildberry, though.

PaN, I'm going to try later when I'm at home if I get a chance. Maybe I need to send it to another yahoo address for it to work?

Gotta love a boyfriend who works in a shoe store and gets designer shoes for beans, and had great taste to boot! (no pun intended)

It's probably a good thing my boyfriend doesn't work in a shoe store, or I'd have about 200 pairs!

GAH! I can't type today!

But to prove that I'm not all about it, here are the other shoes I have today to walk around in.... my $5 slippers from Chinatown!

Ha, TJ, you know every single one of my friends wishes he'd buy them shoes too. And my mom complained to me one day, that we don't have the same shoe size because she wants to wear everything I own. I'm also now receiving Italian leather handbags, too... I've never been one to have expensive taste, but he does. So, really, I've learned to accept it.

Ah, Helen. I feel for ya.

I'm going to be perfectly honest with you. Job hunting sucks. People will lead you on, bullsh*t you, and make you feel confident about getting hired. Sometimes you'll never hear from them again. However, there's nothing wrong with taking on a cashier job after college. Lots of grads do that, just to make money until they find something more stable. Many of my friends are working in a field that is unrelated to what they went to school for. I majored in Communications with a Minor in Journalism and I hardly use it at all with my job. The key is not to be picky! Don't settle, but don't set your standards too high.

Anyways:
Helen that sucks.

ah shoes. Blah. I couldn't care less really. although, I do want to redeem a pair of 'Elphie' black boots. I had a pair that I wore, every day, for 9 months. Then they died. Did I mention they were only $11.99? Yeah...
