The Fortune Cookie will be on break for a while. Can't wait to let you know what happens.

An open letter to anyone overly obsessed with David Cook

Dear Obsessed Fan/News Caster/Radio Personality,
Please stop. It has come to my attention that you have an unhealthy fixation with a normal person who happens to be competing on a reality TV show. Yes, I am referring to David Cook. I understand in your warpped mind, he is the greatest thing to happen to the KC area since Hannah Montana came to town, but I would disagree. Your obsession is interferring with my daily life and I cannot take it anymore. All I like in the morning is to know what Mother Nature has in store for the day and good music. Today both of those little pleasures were ripped away from me by story after story about David Cook being in KC. I do not appreciate it and I would like this irritating behaior to stop.
First of all, let's try to set your sights for heroes a bit higher. There are far better (legitimate celebrities) that you could plaster all over your myspace page. For starters, Tiger Woods. Tiger is ranked in the top 5 for charitable donations among sports and entertainment personalities. Not to mention he kicks everyone's ass in golf! So you are not really into sports? Ok, well let's try someone more your speed . . . Barbra Streisand? She also ranks in the top five (actually above Tiger). Also, Babs does film and TV! There you go, I think Babs is your new obsession. She fits perfectly and isn't a quasi-celeb. Now go back to your sad life of American Idol voting and stalking quasi-celebrities.

thank you,

Kickball isn't just for kids

Oh no, my friend. Kickball is for adults as well. Last night was the first of 7 Leisure League Adult kickball games. The team I am on, Blue Ballers, showed in grand fashion by winning our game 7-0. We had a great time and, more importantly, no one was hurt (unless you count the violent charlie horse in my leg that awakened me at 4am this morning). Some things to keep in mind for next week . . . more stretching and more beer.

Speaking of a new friend . . .

My first and second floor neighbors across the parking lot were both on their balconies last night and apparently decided to get more acquainted. Originally, I was very irritated by the fact they were yelling back and forth from their balconies, but was suddenly intrigued when the second floor girl invited the first floor boy up. When he headed up the stairs, I turned off all the lights in my apt and tried to observe what was hppening. They talked for a while on the balcony and then took their conversation inside. I eventually got bored and went to bed. I wonder if he stayed the night??

maybe a new friend would be nice?

I could not sleep at all last night. It inevitably forced me to think about a lot of things. I would like to get a kitten. I miss my cat that lives with my parents and it would be mean to have him move in with me. He lives a great life at the Casa De Adams and he keeps my parents sane (even though they would never admit it). I put the word out at work and the suggestions came flooding in. We shall see where this leads . . .

The reason

I found this link featured on yahoo! while I was not enjoying lunch . . .

How appropriate. Thanks for ruining eating out forever!

Testing it out

So I am trying something new today. I am going to fully embrace a diet. I have tried to depend solely on exercise and that is not working. Also, this particular diet involves very little effort on my part. I won't have to worry about what to fix for breakfast or lunch. The only meal in question is dinner. fantastic. Fingers crossed, it will work and I will be modeling before you know it! haha, yeah right.

A long weekend

This last weekend was comprised of a visit from a out of town friend, the KC Kentucky Derby party and a wedding. I think I spent about 5 waking hours at my apt all weekend. With my birthday approaching, I am again considering being too old for this "stuff".

My new hat

So in case you don't follow the horse racing circuit, tomorrow is the 134th Kentucky Derby. A friend of mine has been planning for the last 364 days for the party he will be throwing tomorrow in honor of the Derby. The most imprtant part of this day is the hat. I am fortunate enough to work with crazy talented people and so the hat I will be wearing is custom made just for me! I love this hat so much, my new goal will be to find as many occasions as possible to wear it. I might even wear it to the grocery store?

A not-so beautiful day in the neighborhood

I watch the news every morning while getting ready for work. Mostly, for the weather, to help me plan what to wear that day (even though my office is generally a constant 50 degrees). This morning was all bad news. Last night a nasty storm hit my area and caused damage to several houses. It got me thinking . . . I live on the 3rd floor of an apt building. What exactly are my "emergency proceedures"? I should probably already know this, and it may have been included in my massive packet of info when i moved into my apt, but who reads those? Really my options are limited. I don't know any of my closer to the ground neighbors and I am pretty sure the "most interior room" of my apt will not be too effective if the roof comes ripping off. Guess I should look into that . . .

First timer

Ok, so as much as I was against having a blog, I decided it was worth a try. Who could possibly care what is going on in my head? But, I have come to realize that it is kind of nice to get all of that out and if someone chooses to read it, then sweet.

P.S.
there is a strong possiblity I
could suck at this.
