Friday Recap and Weekend Plans

Today's been a pretty good day. We had a client meeting that lasted until lunch, but we plotted what work needs to be done for next week and hopefully we won't have another 2 AM launch.

Steven and I had lunch today and then we went over to the PetSmart by my office to look at the fish. We decided that we'll go have lunch at Chinese Cafe tomorrow and then go to Aquarium World (or as I like to call it - The Big Fish Store) to see what fish they have. Since we've lost three guys, all we have left is Arnold, the ryukin, and the pearlscale. The pearlscale and ryukin are too small for the fifty-five gallon tank, so we need more fish. After that we will probably swing back by the PetSmart and get one of the calico orandas that I think are just so cute. Hopefully, we'll find some new cute guys who we'll actually be able to keep alive!

I'm meeting Jeanna and Trish tonight to see A Beautiful Mind and then we'll probably head out to dinner somewhere. I haven't seen Trish since January, so it'll be good to see her again. Plus, she has my birthday present. ;-)

Anyway, it's starting out to be a nice weekend, so I hope everyone else has a great Friday night!

Friday Five!

And now, time for today's Friday Five!

1. If you could eat dinner with and "get to know" one famous person (living or dead), who would you choose? Stephen King. I cannot get enough of his writing and from the autobiographical stuff I've read of his he sounds like a really nice, down-to-earth guy that I would enjoy hanging out with.

2. Has the death of a famous person ever had an effect on you? Who was it and how did you feel? I remember being at work at the Hell Known as Foley's when I heard about Princess Diana being in an accident. My best friend and I went to the movies after work and came out and heard she had died. I wasn't crushed or anything, but I was very sad that someone so young and beautiful with such a good heart had to die. I remember feeling very sorry for her sons and hoping they would get through it okay.

3. If you could BE a famous person for 24 hours, who would you choose? Maybe Jennifer Aniston. She's so pretty and she's married to Brad Pitt.

4. Do people ever tell you that you look like someone famous? Who? Someone once told me I smile like Melanie Griffith, but I don't really think so.

5. Have you ever met anyone famous? I was in a commercial with Mary Lou Retton for "Super Bowling Saturday" when I was maybe about ten. My uncle actually was a sparring partner for George Foreman when he won the heavyweight title several years ago, so I've met him a couple of times.

I Feel Pretty

I love Amazon's Beauty Store. These are just a few of their items I can't live without.

.: Stila Creme Bouquet Eau de Parfum: smells like vanilla cookies; it's simply divine.
.: Comptoir Sud Pacifique Amour de Cacao Eau de Toilette Spray: smells just like chocolate. It's mouth-watering.
.: DuWop Lip Venom: it makes your lips burn and tingle, giving them a sexy, bee-stung look. It's addicting.
.: DuWop Lip Venom Flash: just like the regular DuWop Lip Venom, but with an added silvery sheen. Delightfully decadent.
.: Urban Decay Skyscraper Mascara: awesome mascara that makes your eyelashes look incredibly long, thick, and dark.
.: Philosophy Coconut Cream 3-in-1 Ultra-rich Shampoo, Conditioner and Body Wash: smells delicious, makes a wonderful lather, and cleans your hair like nobody's business.

.: Printer ink
.: Find cheap printer ink including HP ink cartridges and HP toner refills at MyInkPro.
