Bye Bye For Now!

The family is going on a cruise and we're leaving Friday morning. I'm typing this now because I have a feeling my mom is going to be on my ass about packing all day tomorrow.

Once again, for those of you who aren't doing anything today (Thursday), and are near/around the Bensalem area, call/text me. I'm Elmo at the Bucks County Trade Show. Should be a blast...

By the way, 1408 was awesome! I highly reccomend it.

And with that, I'm leaving you with this quiz. I hope you enjoy:

You scored as Abby Cadabby, You are Abby Cadabby! The newest addition to the Sesame Street crew, you are unique and stand out from the crowd. You tend to be on the girly side, but that doesn't fool anyone! Not only are you opinionated, but you enjoy educating yourself about the world around you. Although shy at first, you make friends fast and love to play. You have a tendency to "disappear" when a conflict arises, but you are brave enough to return and calmly approach your fears when ready.

Ernie 89% Abby Cadabby 89% Rosita 71% Bert 64% Prairie Dawn 61% Elmo 61% Grover 61% Cookie Monster 61% Telly Monster 61% Zoe 54% Oscar the Grouch 54% Count Von Count 54% Big Bird 43% Which Sesame Street Character Are You? (Many outcomes) created with QuizFarm.com

P.S. I'm kind of interested to see if the Sesame characters I linked you guys as are similar to what your personalities match. If you're bored and take the quiz, lemme know who you get ;-) Au revoir!

Time Flies

Oh so much to talk about! Too bad I'm not awake enough to talk about it. Hmm, I guess that's more too bad for me than it is for you.

Anyhoo, I just wanted to let everyone know that if you are free sometime on Thursday between the hours of 2:00-9:00, stop by the Bucks County Trade show in Bensalem for a hug from Elmo! Yes, that is how I will be spending my Thursday "at work". I'm showing up and getting transported to Bensalem for this trade show. I guess this is The Sheraton's feeble attempt to advertise: "We're located right next to Sesame Place...HERE'S ELMO! See, we're not kidding." What baffles me is the fact that this is not an event that attracts many children. As a matter of fact, there will probably be next to no children there at all. However, for those of you of age: there is a bar there. Just please come! I mean, what else could possibly brighten up your day than getting a hug from and playing with Elmo? Ok, lemme rephrase that: What else could possibly brighten up your day than an open bar and laughing at me in a big, red, furry costume? Seriously, stop by. It would be awesome. And you never know! You may just find out that Bucks County has something FUN to offer...maybe I shouldn't push it. More details about the location are coming soon! Lemme know if you're interested.

Speaking of Sesame, be thankful you didn't have to deal with this all day long:



They would be The Little Maestros. They performed at Sesame Place this weekend. Gag me with a spoon! Their performance made me want to stick pins in my eyes. Not only were their harmonies off, but their entire show looked like it was choregraphed by someone on LSD.













They have three costume characters:
A blue wolf with bling (that actually looks like...well, I don't really know.),













an ice cream cone (that actually looks like an over-flowing cup of Peptobismal),
and a Giant named Quee-Duterus.













Yeah. I don't think I need to go much further. At least they were really nice people. They were fun to talk to, just not to watch.

What could have possibly saved the remainder of my sanity? Evan Almighty with Amy, John, and John's friend Tina. And of course, some Wii to end the night.

This Makes Me Laugh

And it should make you laugh too...

Let's Shake On It

I have my first legitimate bet going on with my parents this summer. The events in question must occur by the end of the summer, or they lose. The only downside is that they refused to name a price for the victor. They agreed to the angle of me having to fork over everything I earned from Sesame this summer if I lose, but they wouldn't agree to matching half of what I make over the summer if I win. Therefore, the only "prize" I'd get from winning this bet would be something even better and more important to me than money: my parents getting a reality check.

I'm sure other people have gone through the whole "my parents are treating me like a kid on purpose" thing either when they were high school freshmen or college freshmen. Well, I'm neither anymore and I'm kind of sick of being treated as such. It's so much worse now that Jessica is living in the house again (no offense Jess) because I'm no longer the eldest fledgling in the nest. Nevertheless, I'm sick and tired of my parents pegging this stigma on me that I'm completely and utterly oblivious. Mind you, not oblivious as in the typical teenager "world around you" scenario, more like oblivious to "social interpretations" as they liked to call it. My vote is that things are different now then they were when my parents were teens. Call me close-minded, but I know I'm right on this one.

I whole-heatedly admit I'm not always right. As a matter of fact, I'm seldom right on many occasions, but this is one thing I'm positive on. At least I have Chris backing me up on it. I've yet to talk to Amy (which I plan to do once she returns from the beach).

I know this is really not a big deal at all, it's just that my parents are constantly hounding me about it. The incessant teasing is starting to drive me up a wall! So here I am, vaguely explaining my week's irritation to all of you. Oh and by the way, anyone who wants the specifics on what the heck is going on, feel free to call or IM me about it. It's just not something I want to post on here because if read incorrectly, it could cause some serious misinterpretations. Wouldn't want to start any Masque rumors (and by Masque rumors I mean the only people who read this thing and would have the slightest idea of what I'm babbling about are M.o.M.s).

On a side note, I'm really glad that the weather is staying below 90 this week. I really need that. To shorten the amount of boring complaining in this blog entry, let's just say it's going to be a rough week (physically) for me. Goody-goody-gum-drops!

Quote of the Day:

Girl Scout: "Abby Cadabby, you have a big head!"

At least I know I'm not alone in seeing this. Maybe I should rephrase that: At least I'm not the only one who isn't ignoring this fact.

Not Fun:
-Being mauled by girl scouts at 8:00 in the morning
-Going to work at 7:15 AM
-Sinus headache all day long (thank you stormy weather!)

Fun:
-Finally getting a picture of me in Abby Cadabby
-Ice cream
-Never Been Kissed, Pleasantville, Ocean's 11, Pirates of the Caribbean, and House. All were on today. Never Been Kissed and Pleasantville at the same time, Ocean's 11 and Pirates at the same time, House at the end. Last night I got to watch the full run of Memoirs of a Geisha. I LOVE that movie!

Now to read before bed. Here's hoping tomorrow is more productive than today. Something tells me it's gonna be a "stuck-in-the-house-doing-calculus-day" all day tomorrow because I feel guilty relaxing when I know that I have to get that fricken course over and done with. Why the hell did I agree to do two calculus course in one summer?
