I'm going to tell you something and you may not like it, but my dear friend Katie taught me the value of honesty (with yourself and others) and because of our relationship I find it harder and harder to hide my thoughts and feelings simply because someone else may think they're weird when it's actually just me. So with that being said, I have to tell you that I have a new guilty pleasure...
I downloaded the newest Danity Kane album and I cannot stop listening to it!! There! I said it!
I guess it's my "secret single behavior" (or "SSB" - not that Gerald and I have broken up, but I am single in the sense that I am not married) and I'm sure my love for these girls (among other things) will drive my Gerald crazy when we are married. But to be totally transparent, I've loved these girls since 2005 and my love for DK has only grown stronger. I have both of their albums and I've watched every episode of Making the Band since before they were introduced.
Some of you might be saying "OMG...I thought I was the only one!" while others are saying "OMG...not you too!!" or "I ain't never heard of them hussies!!". Whatever your response, I'm absolutely sure that buying that album has been the best thing I've done all since coming back from Vegas (which was the best thing I'd done since coming back from Hawaii).
Something in the music makes me wanna dance. Makes me wanna swing my hair and pout my lips and rock to a beat only I can make sense of...know what I mean?
I imagine that my alter ego (I think her name is Evan) is the girl they talk about in the song "Bad Girl". Nothing makes me happier than walking down the streets of New York in my nearly-designer clothes listening to a song whose lyrics read "I'm so hot when I walk I leave smoke in my tracks...". I hear those words and trust them to be absolute truth. I just feel like I can conquer the world!!
Perhaps it's just because of my intense connection with music. I've often said that if I had to pick one thing to have for the rest of my life it'd be a radio...hands down. I believe that it's not always the beat or the artist that attracts me, but because I have emotions so deep that my own words cannot express them...so I'll listen to a song - over and over if I have to - to work out whatever it is that's weighing heavy on my heart. Good or bad. Maybe that's why I love musicals so much. Whatever they feel, they sing it right then and right there...

Amelia's Bail Out Plan
Here's what I would do with $700,000,000,000.00
I can't really think of anything else to do, and I feel like I can really do all of those things in about a 6 month time period...or at least get the ball rolling. I would stop working for sure, but I would volunteer places.
What would you do?
- Tithe 10% to my church
- Pay off my mother's house
- Pay off my mother and sister's cars
- Pay off my debts (college and credit cards)
- Pay for my sister's college
- Set aside money for my wedding
- Buy a place in NYC, Austin, the Pacific Northwest and a tropical location
- Buy furniture for the houses
- Buy a car...assuming I need it
- Buy my mom a house in whatever city she wanted (probably Austin though, she likes the city a lot. Right on the lake so she could watch the sun set and drink tea - I'll probably pay all of her bills too)
- Give my mom a monthly budget for stuff (like food and entertainment)
- Set aside money for my children to go to college
- Fund my friend Katie McClure's hypothetical fashion line
- Pay for Allison's honeymoon (I work w/her and she figured I could afford it)
- Buy a new wardrobe for SURE!
- Fund a cure for AIDS
- Fund a cure for cancers
- Give Nathan $1,000,000.00 (I work with him too)
- Invest in something...not sure what
- Invest in charities...not sure which ones
- Give books to illiterate children
- Open a soup kitchen
- Open a book store
- Open a bakery
- Give Karen a house with a big back yard and a garden (I work with her too)
- Get Karen a personal trainer (just once a week - we're not trying to go overboard here)
- Travel (Backpacking in Europe sounds cool, maybe Asia too)
- Mission trips - probably live in a few other nations for a while
- Adopt some children (American and otherwise)
- Get a personal trainer
- Get a personal chef
- Get a stylist
- Not that my money would guarantee this, but I'd become friends with Heidi Klum, Chris Brown, Beyonce, Oprah!, Brooke Sheilds, Denzel Washington, Tina Turner, Alicia Keys and some other people
- Produce a movie (probably my friend Lindsey's)
- Open a dance studio (for my other friend Lindsay)
- Take creative writing classes
- Become a venture capitalist (obviously)
- Get a pair of glasses
- Get lasik
- Go to a movie premier
- Build a school
- Get Hannah a Swedish massage in Sweeden, or some tropical location (I work with her too)
- Invent something/give money to someone who wants to invent things
- Help re-build New Orleans
- Go to the moon
- Go on an underwater excavation mission
- Try to find dinosaur bones
- Go cave diving
- Do extensive research on volcanoes (lots of tropical islands required for this kind of project)
- Buy a new iPod
- Buy a new BlackBerry
- Figure out what the big deal is with Ethanol-powered cars
- Become a wine connoisseur
- Buy a franchise
I can't really think of anything else to do, and I feel like I can really do all of those things in about a 6 month time period...or at least get the ball rolling. I would stop working for sure, but I would volunteer places.
What would you do?

Tight Body.org - Part Deux!
Have you ever volunteered to have your ass kicked? Yes, I said "ass". Under normal circumstances I am not one to use profane language, however, I am a true believer in levels of beatings and the work out I did tonight can only be classified as an "ass kicking". You see, tonight was my very first visit to Equinox and I was not warned!! Let it be known from here on out, if you cannot tell if your fitness instructor is a man or a woman, you're about to get a serious beating. Let me see if I can describe the situation...
I arrived at Equinox at approximately 6:15pm. It was a full house!! It is Equinox's anniversary and they are throwing a huge membership drive disguised as a celebration. Every gym in the nation is stuffed with ripped out trainers and alcohol - thus enhancing the chance of memberships (the initiation fee alone is $525. $525!!!!!! FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE FRICKIN DOLLARS!!!!). But, as I mentioned in a previous blog I got a free 3 month membership; initiation fee waived - unless I want to sign up sometime between now and Thursday and my fee is actually only $17 (which ain't a big deal. Too bad monthly dues are still $139), so I figured what the hey! Everyone I talk to freaks out when I mention the place, might as well give it a look see. I meet the membership manager and she does her little song and dance and suggests that I take "Powerstrike" at 7 - you know, your typical kickboxing class. I take my stuff to the well stocked women's locker room (includes towels, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, more towels, razors, shaving cream, cotton balls, some more towels, body wash, showers, bathrooms, steam room, even more towels, q-tips, blow dryers, outlets, mirrors and did I mention towels??!!) and skipped up three flights of stairs to the classroom. I mixed myself in with the rest of the potential Powerstrikers and watched the big hand of the clock inch toward the 12, tugging the little hand atop the 7. We flooded the classroom - all 100 of us. Yes, one hundred people in one fitness class. The music began and we all mimicked her (?) steady march - you know, the one that makes you think "ok...I can do this". Then Jab! Jab! Punch! Not bad, I can do that again. Jab! Jab! Punch! Oh! I feel strong now! Jab! Jab! Punch! Wow...I'm gonna look great! Jab! Jab! Punch! OMG! I can't wait to see my delts! Jab! Jab! Punch! Kick! Wait...what???
It continued like this for an hour, combination after brutal combination. Jumping, turning, squatting, kicking, punching and yelling! Oh my lord the yelling! My guess is the only way the regulars get through is by counting down - and for a beginner (who thought the class was only 45 minutes) the frequent count downs helped me keep my sanity. By the time the class was done all of my make up had run off of my face - I think the grunting scared it away. Several people even wiped their sweat from the ground - there was so much that they felt it would prove disastrous if left to stand.
Somehow my legs carried me down the three flights of stairs and into the women's locker room where I proceeded to sit in the steam room for a good 15 minutes. All I can say is thank God I found my way to the subway without passing out, because if I hadn't I would've dropped right outside the doors of the gym only to have paying members step over me and chuckle "First time 'Striker, eh?!"
I hope I'm able to get out of bed in the morning.

Saturday Night Thinking Club
Some random thoughts I had while watching SNL...
I was just thinking...Gerald is the best man I know. Today was a rough day, I found myself feeling particularly low and prone to tears. He suggested seeing a movie so I could get out of the house and stop moping (not mopping...like with water and Pine-Sol), so I looked up what was playing at my local theater. When I called him to say that I was going to head out to the see the show, he asked if I would like to go on a date with him. But how?!?! You might ask...well, he'd simply see the same movie around the same time in Austin. Isn't that just the sweetest thing? He's the best!!!
I was just thinking...Rihanna's songs are confusing. Half the time I find myself making up the words because I can't understand what she's saying. For example my interpretation of the bridge in her latest single Disturbia is...
"Release me from this curse I'm in. Try to be tame but I'm strugglin'. If ya cankle-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-hum. Think I'm gonna ay ay ay ay ayyyyy!!"
My good friend Leslie swore up and down for the longest time that she was saying "Gonna stand by myself in my tubesocks!!!" at the end of Don't Stop the Music. And you know what, maybe that's something that they do in Barbados, but I've never been. So if you're reading this Rihanna, I think you're songs are hard to interpret, but I like your haircut and your eye makeup is really cool. Oh, and since you're "good friends" with Chris Brown, would you mind introducing us? Not that I'd ever date him, but when Gimme That came out in 2006, I was convinced that I was the older woman he was talking about. Who knows, maybe he made it to Lubbock and happened to witness the magic that happens when I step on the dancefloor...
I was just thinking...MACs are cool, but PCs are affordable. I mean yes, it's cool to edit art and stuff, but I really only check Facebook, email and play Rollercoaster Tycoon and I don't think I should have to forfeit my rent, electricity and groceries to do those things. Don't get me wrong, I think they're awesome, but for me computers are all about utility and I wouldn't use the features a MAC has in a million lifetimes simply because I have no need for them. I'll stick with my whimpy little HP for now.
I was just thinking...I might be a TV snob. Is it weird that I never got into shows like Felicity, One Tree Hill, Smallville and the like because I thought the qulality of the shows production looked poor? Maybe it was just the way it was filmed. Is it weird that I also don't watch shows like Gossip Girl, Laguna Beach, The Hills and The O.C. because I was sure they were all the same?
Location: Some place you've never heard of or have no desire to visit
Characters: People you should avoid at all cost
Plot: Girl A likes Boy B, but Boy B likes Girl C. Girl C is secretly crushing on Mr. X, the chemistry teacher/professor who happens to be either a [insert illegal/immoral/socially unacceptable action] or a [insert humanitarian or aspirational act/financial amount which speaks to security according to community standards] - either option will make him infinitely attractive because of the possiblity of transformation within himself or the community. Then there's also Boy A who likes Boy B, but can't reveal it until the 5th season because he's [insert high school/college popularity identifier]. Girl B is the glue that keeps them all together. She doesn't know it but she'll either die or contract a serious disease during season 3, which will make all of her friends and family become really introspecitve. Boy C is notoriously bad and gets everything he wants.
Some of the roles may change and there may be some cougars or a witty younger sibling mixed in, but for the most part they are the same. I guess never-ending drama makes me bored.
Does anyone else have this many random thoughts within a span of 20 minutes?

Look Before You Leap
Can I vent for a minute? I'm discovering that people are crazier than I thought!
Tell me this...if a new person started at your office and was new to the city would you, after meeting him/her for the first time, offer them a place to stay at either your or your good friend's home for an indefinite amount of time? I don't think I could ever do that, simply for the fact that I don't know if this person is a sociopath or something and I wouldn't want to be obligated to them in any way or responsible for them if they lacked the gumption to follow through on bills, etc. You can call me crazy, but I would call myself discerning and cautious. That's what this one girl at the office did. This guy started at T3 a few months ago and she, in an effort to extend a friendly hand to an out-of-towner, took him to lunch on his first day and then proceeded to have her friend agree to allow him to stay at his apartment. The lunch I can understand, the squatting I'm not so sure about - I'd need some references or something. Turns out, this guy was perverse and very crude. She later confessed that the more she learned from her friend, the more she wished she had no personal ties to our co-worker. Well...duh! In case you hadn't noticed, people in New York are a strange breed (this is apparent in the fact that many of them are willing to pay $1,500 for an apartment you can barely squeeze a queen sized bed in), not to mention the fact that people aren't becoming more wholesome or pure these days, so you absolutely MUST be choosy about your friends and with whom you associate. If not to protect yourself, at least to protect your reputation (professional and otherwise) - as the saying goes "Show me your friends and I will show you your future".
I wonder if she checks her bank account before going shopping...

...And do you know what He did???
This weekend I had a slight emergency. You see, when I moved to NY I was sure that any store would carry my favorite shampoo and conditioner. Unfortunately I was wrong. So I called my mom in a state of absolute distress because the product that I bought was making me look like the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz (except I had no nifty hat to cover it up - stupid Infusium 23). I told my mom to go to the store immediately and send me the largest bottles of Silk Elements she could find. As we continued to chat she revealed to me that she was completely done with ALL of her chemo/radiation and that her doctors didn't need to see her again until December for her regular mammogram.
My mom is cancer free...(did I ever mention that my mom has breast & kidney cancer? Well, I guess it would be past tense now - so HAD...she HAD breast and kidney cancer). HALLELUJAH!!!! GOD IS SO GOOD!!!
She was only diagnosed in December 2007 and here we are, less than a year later and she's done. Of course she'll have to have check ups for the rest of her life, but the hard part is officially over :) THANK YOU GOD FOR SAVING MY MOMMY!!! You have always protected our little family with so much love and mercy. I cannot say thank you enough!!

One More Thing...
I watch this clip at least once a week. It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. The fact that Shia LaBeouf is wearing a shirt with a unicorn on is cracks me up every time. The rest of the sketch is just the cherry on top of comedic genius...

Aloha!!!!
Well...I guess now would be as good a time as any to update you on my trip to Hawaii...
Most people save these kinds of shenanigans for their honeymoon or an anniversary, but I have been blessed to have a wonderful friend who actually lives there and was able to host me for a whole week of fun in the sun.
I'm not going to give day by day because to be totally honest, I did the same thing every day, which was nothing (I think I even wore the same thing for 3 days in a row - a bathing suit and cover-up). So I'll just give highlights...
I was amazed by...
How beautiful the land is. I really do think that "Hawaii" is a derivative of the word for "God showing off" in a Heavenly language.
Sunset on the North Shore (famous for it's enormous waves and surfing champs)
Look closely. You can see three distinct colors of blue! All I could think the whole time was "God of wonders beyond our galaxy, you are HOLY! HOLY!"
Funniest Moment...
We were at a club for Ladies Night and this total cougar was doing her West Coast Swing dance moves on the dance floor. I mean, for serious, imagine trying to do this drunk...
My friend Katie went out there to try to dance like her and it was HYSTERICAL!!!
My favorite moment...
We spent my last day on the East Coast of the island of Oahu. We sat on the beach watching the big, beautiful ocean roll in and out (while we swam I freaked out b/c I saw a huge, mysterious animal and begged to leave the water immediately. In reality was a the sand being churned by the water - I'm such a 'fraidy cat). Soon enough a family of 6 came along and the children started dancing to Jack Johnson's "Upside Down" being played by a local on a ukulele. There was so much joy and peace on that beach. I never wanted to leave. This definitely goes into my Top 5 Moments of Life archive.
Other things to note...
I jumped off a huge piece of volcanic rock. I'm a terrible judge of distance so I have no idea how high it was, but I would say it was approximately 30-40 ft high. I was really freaked out. When I got to the top I thought "Am I too old to be jumping off of stuff like this?" Whatever the answer was, I jumped anyway :)
I saw a double rainbow! Hawaii is famous for these! I also saw a FULL RAINBOW which I have never seen in my entire life. Unfortunately there was no gold at the end of it.
My friend Katie is so humble and kind. I love hanging out with her and I have been truly blessed by her friendship. We will be friends until we are 80; at that time we will re-negotiate our friendship contract :)
