Taste of Cincinnati

I seemed to have spent the entire Memorial Day weekend stuffing my face with one food or another. Friday night I met Meg and Julie at Frickers. Then J and I headed to Dayton in pursuit of a good local restaurant that was never found(but I won't rant about this). Saturday evening J and I went to the Taste of Cincinnati festival. There was lots of yumminess. There was some delicious mango springrolls...mmmm. It was the perfect weather for the event. Afterwards (around 11:30) we went to Wal-Mart to glance at some camping gear and to take a potty break. We wasn't ready to head home and just happened to be near Applebee's. Needless to say, the next day I could barely walk, but found room for Subway and even broke-in my S'more maker that I got for Christmas from my mom. Yesterday J made his famous chili. Guess what? My tummy hurts...I think I ate too much.

THE SHOES

On May 8th I discovered my shoes: The Shoes. I adore them. It was love at first sight. It was strange because normally I would never have found myself attracted to them. It was different this time. I tried to walk away. I made it out of the store. Even made it through dinner, but I had to have them.
I bought them in a size 8. I wear a size 6. It was ok if they were not in my size. It made them better. More room to move around. They are comfy and sexy. Great with a skirt or jeans. I love them. I hope you do too.



I know that it may seem like bright pink, strappy heels sounds slutty....they are and I still love them.

Boring Saturday Night

I am very bored. Ho hum...

To the person who left a comment with my last entry. I responded to you in the comment part of the last entry also.

Mean Jblog

Last night during the OC season finale J decided to summon his enter jerk. Between the hours of 7:30 PM and 9:35 PM J managed to completely make me mad and sad at the same time. To add to the emotional rollercoaster I am PMSing and have had a sinus infection for the last 3 weeks. You think after 3 and a half years he would know better than to take a sick-PMSing Brittney and use his inner-jerk to be mean. He is sitting on the couch behind me while i write this. I don't care. I am still mad.

Alice in GrassyLotsLand (at IUPUI)

Yesterday I headed to Indianapolis to meet an academic advisor and check out the campus apartments. As the meeting with the advisor came to an end he recommended that I go to the Cavanaugh (spelling?) building to check out my term activation. He told me the building was right across the grassy lot. I left his office, went down the elevator and found myself facing 2 large grassy lots. One was to my left and one was to my right with large buildings at the end of both. Now, I love Alice in Wonderland, but this was my first very noticable Alice in Wonderland moment.
I crossed the grassy lot to the building to the right. I got to the building to the right and it was the wrong one. I turn around and faced the building I just left (I had walked east and was now facing west) to find another group of grassy lots with large buildings in several areas. After walking for about 30 minutes I realized that I was going farther from my parking lot and I really needed to go back the other way. I found the building...right next to my parking spot. My car had even been facing it.

Grocery Shopping

I believe you can tell a lot about a person by little things they do or buy. So here is what I bought at the grocery store today:
2 12-packs of bottled water
1 6-pack of Diet Dr. Pepper
1 gallon of chocolate milk
1 frozen fruit punch concentrate thingies
1 magazing (I wanted Vogue, then Cosmo, but since they had neither settled for Shop etc. which is quite boring)
I also bought 3 other things but I bought those for J.
Hmmmm, what does this say about me?

The Weekend Review

I could tell you about my day with my family yesterday. It was sundaes, shoe shopping and dinner. It was a lot of fun. I could go on about Friday night's dinner with Megan, Julie and Brett, but I won't. I am going to rant about Saturday. It deserves it.
It was Megan's 20th Birthday (this is not the Meg from the creepy guy entry). We decided to go out to eat and go to a local club. It was Julie, Megan and me. I have known Julie and Megan since we were very young children, but I am really only friends with Megan. The both had a VERY VERY religious upbringing. I am moral, much more than most people, but not for religious reasons. Anyway...
At the dinner Julie gets attitude. Julie is very pretty. Tall and thin. She starts saying when we get to the club she don't want to be around us. It didn't stop there. Julie did it all night! It ruined the night. When we left the club she then decides to inform me that her mother would be upset that she went there b/c they do not approve of atmospheres that promote drinking and that "type of dressing." I am thinking, Why did you act like you wanted to come then?

She then claims this guy that was talking to us was really drunk. He had a beer in his hand and was holding a completely decent conversation. Obviously Julie and I don't define drunk or anything else the same way. (She voted for Bush...) She doesn't need to be going to a bar of any sort or a club or a party. Frankly, I am glad the girl looks like a model, b/c she has absolutely nothing else going for her.

Survived Finals

Well, finals are all over. I know I got an A in Professional English. I am predicting "A"s in wrongful convictions, crime and public policy, managing behavior in the public sector and I think I got a B in criminal procedural law.
I have a one week break until I have 2 more classes start. I am taking speech and Journalism: Public Relations.
I have a terrible soar throat. My head and ears also hurt. I wish I could call in today, but it is the last day I work with my students and I need to give them some of their stuff. After that I need to go shopping for Megan's birthday present and a mother's day present.
