calling all NC State fans

hey NC State fans! All your crap is currently on special at the pet store. I talked to the store manager and he said the Duke crap would be marked down at the end of this week.

Nothing makes a case of the mondays better than seeing what is good and right flaunted at the pet store.

Thought for day.

Sometimes when the noise gets too loud, I go home. to the place Where I belong. Sing it daughtry.

True American

I never doubted my patriotism until today. Granted, I've never given in to the very large urge to buy a corona bikini. And boy am I glad. Because today, i discovered something much much better: the Budweiser pant suit.

thought for the day.

i have deactivated my facebook account (again).

i just don't even know

my parents are remodeling the kids' bathroom at their home. if you have ever seen the kids' bathroom, you would understand why this is such a big undertaking. we're talking shiny pastel lavendars, pinks and greens. there may even be a bubble curtain. I wish I was kidding. also, it is important to note that the kids whose bathroom this is include a 31 year old kid, a 29 year old kid and a 22 year old kid. tonight my mother was sharing with me the ideas she has for the remodel. I told her that I was so happy to hear this because that bathroom was so ugly. she replied with "well meredith, 21 years ago that bathroom looked good."

this reminded me of a guy I once knew named British Mark. He wore black skinny jeans before they were cool (um wait, still not cool), black high tops, had long flowing blonde locks and a dangly cross earring hanging out his ear. He was was the spitting image of fabio, if fabio had decided to join a hair band instead of a harlequin romance novel. Once during one of our Boston Market lunches, he was lamenting to me how hard it was for him to pick up women (I guess this is why he showed up at the company christmas party with a stripper he had met the night before. Again, I wish I was kidding). I said "mark, you look like you're from the 80s." His reply? "Meredith, I looked good in the 80s."

my bad.

fatty fatty two by four times two

speaking of drive thrus, Krispy K's and things I hate, one thing I do not hate is a drive thru. I find them to be delicious. One of my favorites is In N Out Burger. It's my tradition that as soon as I land at SFO, I get delivered to the In N Out on Millbrae for my californian delight. and i want it animal style thank you very much (like on the discovery channel).

This most recent trip was no different. Except on the way back to the airport, the cab driver took us to a different In N Out. And it was connected to a Krispy K. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. My heart literally was beating out of my chest. And no, it was not from the cholesterol. (and let's not even mention the fact that my mother cried laughing when i told her I took a cab to the drive thru. She told me I sure was a tourist. I am not in fact a tourist. I am from NC where the Krispy K was invented! All those californians are tourists. I am just a local. Doing it like they do on the discovery channel).

love and hate = fatty fatty two by four?

I hate a lot of things. Not people. Things. One of the greatest sources for my hate is my blasted iPhone. I hate its guts. It drives me crazy. it facetimes people when I'm nakey (i mean, this could be fun but it never happens at opportune moments), it mutes people when I'm talking (and let's face it - i should NEVER be on mute) and it auto corrects me at all the wrong moments. I mean, have sent the word fornicate to my brother.

However. As much as I love to tell people how much I hate my iPhone, today I got excited about it.

You see, Krispy Kreme has an app! For free!! The HOT LIGHT app lets you locate a Krispy K wherever you are. And it also tells you whether or not the hot donuts now sign is on. please be still my beating heart.

Now as long as the phone doesn't auto correct the street address so I miss the hot light at the donut shop, I should be fine. The only thing worse would be if I showed up and the drive thru lady had to take a pit stop in between taking my order and giving me my donuts, and the sign gets turned off in the meantime. And believe me. It's happened before so it could happen again.
