Bored at work last night....

So I was re-reading my sent text messages last night and they are quite strange.

11:27pm - To: Facebook Status - Gigi is tired.....& surprisingly bored!
* I didn't have a whole lot of people to talk to at work last night. Which is wierd.

12:45pm - To: Rob - Goodness now Bambie is hitting on me!
* last night seemed to be MY night in terms of people wanting me! LOL

1:32am - To: Facebook Status - Gigi should try Secret by Madonna
* Just a mental note about a song I want to try. I had several of these texts, but my phone only stores 30 sent texts! grrrr

1:40am - To: Facebook Status - Gigi is wondering what the chances are she's going 2 make 75bucks 2nite
* Actually the chances were good! LOL

1:49am - To: Facebook Status - Gigi thinks people are clueless.
* I'm not sure what I was talking about here

1:54am - To: Bob - Except for Ro I think You have questionable taste in women.
* Just an observation to a friend!

1:58am - To: Facebook Satus - Gigi thinks Silver Sprigns is a GREAT way to end the night. And yes that was sarcasm!
* The chica who had the last song picked the LONGEST, most BORING song to sing!

2:25am - To: Facebook Status - Gig is headed hom and thinks her friends are crazy.
* I don't remember who I was referring to!

2:36am - To: Rob - I am home finlly. Heading to bed soon. I need a night lite in my room and a small keychain for my keys.
* Telling Rob I made it home safely and the bit about the lights was just for a reminder for me.

I wish my phone stored more than 30 sent messages. I had quite a few funny texts because I was so bored, but I've been texting people all morning.

I love this Meme, but Saturdays are so busy I always forget to do it! So here's the last few Saturday 9s!


1. Where is the furthest place that you have traveled and how far away from home is it? Choctaw, Oklahoma...isn't that sad?

Vince Vaughn was hotter when he was fat!!

Nevermind!

Okay I just watched Domestic Disturbance and I really thought Vince Vaughn was too skinny and that he was hotter when he had a few more pounds on him. So I went to Photobucket to get some pictures as proof and alas I was wrong. Vince Vaghn is just plain hot. I'm drooling.

I'm thinkig of blowing this one up and hanging it on my wall like a teenager. YUM!

ahuumanahuumanahuumana

I just wanted to say....

that I am in a FANTASTIC mood!

The strange people I saw today!

Man I wish I could safely take pictures while driving down the road! Today was the day for off people sightings! First driving home this morning on the 51 I saw someone riding one of these

....but he wasn't sitting on the seat, he was sitting on the gas tank! And I watched him ride this way for at least a quarter of a mile before I got off the freeway! We were going SIXTY MILES PER HOUR!! This just seemed incredibly stupid and dangerous! I so wanted to take a picture, but that would have been stupid and dangerous too! THEN I was driving past the K-mart at Northern and I-17 and I saw a girl holding one of those advertising signs on the corner....wearing a french maid's outfit over jeans! And I'm pretty sure she wasn't advertising Halloween costumes! Finally, I was having lunch with my BFF at Taco Bell when Queen Amidala walked in!

Except that the girls HAIR actually looked like this! It wasn't a ceremonial headdress! D and I tried to discretely take a piture, but it just wasn't happening.

Don't Vote!

I could care less what celebrities think but this is a good message!
