Becca and Rachel write letters to each other in their usual witty banter to discuss events, thoughts, opinions, and whatever else they feel like sharing with each other and the whole world.

I'm not wearing any make-up today. Do you know what that means? I CAN RUB MY EYES WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT SMUDGING MY MAKEUP! (side note: originally I spelled it smugging...haha I like that work. I wonder if it's already a word...I'll look it up...dictionary.com says it's not. But smug is a word. Therefore I shall invent a new word right here, right now! Smugging: the act of verbally or non-verbally broadcasting one's confidence in one's own abilities or inclinations. Side note to the side note: that was a long side note)
I had a good Thanksgiving weekend. I did not over eat or stuff myself and the only money I spent the whole weekend was on my slash really your coffee maker, so 9 bucks. I was a very good girl. But not to say that you weren't. I think for the most part your a pretty frugal and wise with your spending Becca, so if you let loose one weekend to treat yourself for all your hard "work" that's okay in my book.
I hate when people call my during my lunch. But to their credit, they probably don't know it's my lunch hour.
I hurt my ankle. I am always hurting something which prevents me from working out to my full extint. I can't help but wonder if it's my brand new shoes that cause my ankle injury. I hope not, I drop 50 big ones on those babies. My ankle wrapped up right now. It's not really bad enough to justify a wrap, but I put on there just to be safe. Plus if makes my foot feel better because the wrap is keeping nice and warm and coozy.
My stomach's growling but I'm trying to wait until noon to eat so I'm not as tempted to eat a snack halfway through the day. SHUT UP STOMACH!
Megan's out today because her grandma took a turn for the worse yesterday, as you know. Please be keeping her in your prayers. I'm concerned about her because she's had a hard year.
I saw Due Date with my family Saturday night. I didn't want to see it but Unstoppable (THE TRAIN MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) was sold out. I wouldn't recommend it. It wasn't that great.
Guess what I'm doing right now... I am so great at everything because I have talent oozing out of my pores. I am the best there ever was and I am confident in all my inclinations and things I'm good at.
My pinky is cold. My my whole hand, not my pinky and a couple other fingers, just my pinky.
I think it should be spelled pinkie. It looks cuter spelled like that.
I'm pretty sure about half the sentences in this post end on a preposition. Sorry Rachael and all the other english majors out there.
Catch Ya On The Flip Side,
Rachel

http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/life/13-things-your-flight-attendant-won-t-tell-you-2401972/
Well golly, I'm honestly thinking that January 15th might be better. I know that's a long way off, and I technically COULD do December 11th, but I will have a gig to be practicing for. Now before you get excited, this gig is my playing christmas songs on the piano at the holiday open house for my grandma's apartment complex. About 6 people will be there, all over the age of 60. But I could do it then. I just remembered that January 15th is kinda my birthday weekend. I don't have any plans but something might come up. Hmmmm, well this is a predicament. I'll figure something out. It might just have to be a day trip.
I don't think I have the will power to do a year of Paula Dean cooking. It would literally kill me and I personally feel I am too young to die. Can we do it with the Betty Crocker healthy cookbook? (at first I spelled it Betty Croker which to mean made it sound like a woman named Betty who either made frog noises frequently or died.) What about that eat this not that guy? I think it would be fun to do something for a year and chronicle it on a blog. Would we make a completely separate blog from this one?
Today is Megan's birthday so I stayed late last night after she left and decorated her cubicle. But she left today at 9 because her grandma, who she's very close to, was taken to the hospital. Sucky birthday.
I'm going to take my first cycling class tonight. I am extremely concerned that I will die. In that case, I have decided to post my last will and testament on this blog:
This is the last will and testament of Rachel Rebecca Fuhrman, more affectionatly known as Luna, or Sweetheart.
To her dear mother and best friend, she leaves her pillow which always comforted her when she was sad and absorbed her tears. It also is good for smothering people.
To her wonderful father, she leaves $1 to buy the winning lottery ticket.
To her comical brother, she leaves her boss, who is apparently very fond of him.
To her close friend Rachael, she leaves her book collection, excluding her Nancy Drew collection which will be buried with her.
To her other close friend Becca, she leaves a lock of her hair so that she can wear it around her neck and always remember how wonderful it was to have a friend with such beautiful hair. Also, she can clone Rachel with it so the world will never have to be without Rachel.
As you can tell, I also have nothing to do at work. Perhaps I'll take a nap at my desk. Yes, that sounds nice.
Goodnight
Rachel
I've been listening to "Forget You" and "Love Like Woe" non stop the past two days just to spite you!!!! JUST TO SPITE YOU BECCA!
Monday, November 22, 2010
I would like to publicly acknowledge how wonderful it was spending time with you this weekend. I am truly glad you had such a good time. I also had a fantifiorous time. I believe total for me, I spent $30 on gas and withdrew $100 from my bank account. I came back with $160. So it was a good weekend for me too.
I am feeling better. I haven't been obnoxiously blowing my nose like Saturday. Although this snake like skin under my nose is driving me INSANE!!!!!! Thank you for asking, or rathing hoping in my improved health.
I will never forget dat man. He was the highlight of the club. Remember how the floor was coated in butter which made us slip?
I am free the following weekends to go visit Mama Lang: December 18th, January 8th and 15th. If we had to, I could go December 11th. Did we want to schedule it so that you were there too? I wouldn't mind going by myself. I'm thinking I could spend a couple hours with Mama Lang then go see Alissa. I probably wouldn't be able to spend the night though. Tell her I'll bring my guitar and sing some songs I wrote :)
I'm excited for your wedding too. I am going to go buy an audrey hepburn dress for it.
I don't really have anything else to say either.
Did the sparkling wine transport okay?
I have a headache, I think it's because I'm tired. I really need 10 hours of sleep a night lol.
What if our skin was like a lizards? That would be gross.
I watched Jake Gyllenhaal on Regis and Kelly. He is much funnier than I thought he was. He would be fun to hang out with I have determined. I'll invite him to our New Year's Party instead of you.
Somewhat Sincerely,
Rachel

Rachel,
Every time I type to you, I also use a Word document. However, it’s not for spellcheck; it’s so I look like I’m working on something important.
My mom is going to love you even more and more emphatically wish that you were her daughter instead. Oh, as I was watching HP 6 last night to refresh my memory (HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), I decided I think Mama G is like Mrs. Weasley. Warm, kind-hearted, welcoming, funny, spunky. It’s true.
We’re having a surprise baby shower for my boss in a few weeks. There is an email going around for who will bring what, and someone just said that she would bring a breakfast casserole. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE BREAKFAST CASSEROLES?! For someone who doesn’t really like breakfast foods and/or breakfast in general, it’s pretty shocking. My mom asked me what I wanted to eat when I come home next week. I will suggest a breakfast casserole… RIGHT NOW.
I think I’m out of my feel-sorry-for-myself slash hate-the-world funk. It lasted a couple weeks. I feel better. Thanks, Jesus.
I can’t believe how PUMPED I am for Black Friday. I mean, seriously. I haven’t wanted to go for the past several years. I think I was in my I’m-a-college-student-let-me-sleep rebellious phase. But now… I am SO EXCITED I CAN’T TAKE IT!!!! Plus, we go out for breakfast, and do you know what they have at breakfast places? BREAKFAST CASSEROLES. P.s. thanks for the coffee maker tip. Maybe I will get one myself since my sister’s little tiny coffee maker BURNED MY COFFEE. But Findlay doesn’t have a Target so we’d have to go to Toledo, and by the time we get there I doubt such coveted items would still be in stock. It’s up to you, Rachel. It’s up to you.
I’M REALLY INTO CAPS TODAY.
I’m reading a Times article about Harry Potter 7. And I thought to myself… I don’t know how I feel about a HP installment without Hogwarts. No classes, no fun little spells, NO QUIDDITCH. I mean, Hogwarts is my favorite part of the entire series. I will be sad without it. You may have to comfort me with a candy bar or an iced latte.
I don’t think Catalogna is pronounced either way you suggested. In my mind, I read it as cat-a-lo-nee-a. Catalonia. Like that. I think because in Italian, Bologna is pronounced that way. And in case you’re wondering why I capitalized Bologna, it’s because it is a city. In high school, I was really obsessed with this big atlas my family has, and I would pour over it every night for a while. One of my goals was to memorize all the major Italian cities and their Italian names. I will share them with you right now: Torino, Milano, Venezia, Firenze, Bologna, Roma, Napoli, Genoa, Palermo. See? I have always been a major geography nerd. Why didn’t I major in that? Mannnnn. Regret!
I have soooooo much laundry to do as well. I think I will do it on Friday night and make it my chore night. Go to the gym, do all my laundry, and pack up for this weekend. I didn’t go to the gym last night because I decided to watch HP, and I can’t go tonight because I am having dinner at Carrie Gomez’s house (YAY!).
It is lunch time. That’s more important than you, so bye.
Becca?!?!?!!?
I have discovered that the worst thing in the world is. It's a sore throat. I know what you're thinking right now, "Rachel, please list for me the reasons you have come to this conclusion." I shall Becca, oh I shall:
1) THEY SUCK!
2) While they are not enough to completely debilitate you like some illnesses, they make your life miserable with constant pain, which is worse because you have to actually work, but with burning pain in your throat
3) You can't talk
4) You can't sing (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!)
5) Sometimes it's so bad it hurts to swallow. HURTS TO SWALLOW BECCA! A BASIC HUMAN NECESSITY!
6) THEY SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In all reality, this time I am over dramatizing my current situation of ill-health for comidc effect. While my throat does hurt and I do find it rather annoying, it is actually not that bad comparatively and I usually get other symptoms after the sore throat, which I have not recevied yet and hopefully never will.
If I can't swoon over Jake Gyllenhaal because he MIGHT be DATING T. Swift, then you can't swoon over Ryan Reynolds who is MARRIED to Scarlett Johanson or however you spell it.
Did you know that every time I type a blog to you I have a blank word document open for spell check? Clearly it doesn't always help me.
I tried Extra gum's new dessert flavors. Just so you know, this is they kind of gum they have in heaven. Strawberry Shortcake, Key lime Pie....mmmmmmmmmmmm.
I'm going to try and wake up early black friday just so I can go to Target and get a coffee maker for $3 just so you can have coffee when you come to visit me when I live on my own. I hope you appreciate this sacrifice that I am making for you. And if you don't, I hope my $3 coffee maker burns your coffee.
They don't have Psych online yet. This ENRAGES ME!
Hey, remember how we got tickets to see Harry Potter on Saturday? Yeh.
I'm assuming your mom doesn't read this blog so I'll tell you what I got her. You know how she used to write songs but hasn't in a while? I got her a notebook of blank sheet music to encourage her to write songs again.
Matt at the gym gave me permission to take one workout class for free. Good business move Matt, now I will go to a class, realize I can't live without classes, and upgrade my membership so you and your gym get an extra 10 buckaroos a month. Clever Matt Catalogna. Clever. Speaking of Matt Catalogna, how do you think his last name is pernounced, like it looks, or like bologna?
Yesterday was a big day in the Fuhrman household. Matthew Fuhrman, the youngest of the clan, turned the big 2-1! I think I was more excited than he was lol. We went out to dinner at The Olive Garden where I went with the Venetian theme, Venetian Apricot Chicken for dinner and a Venetian Sunset for my drink (it had the wine UNICON got for this weekend so I thought I'd try it out. I couldn't really taste the alcohol so I can't say for certain if it's good).
This is a long post. I would apologize but I don't believe in that.
Tonight is UNICON's downtown happy hour. FREE BOOZE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I invited Matt since it was his birthday yesterday. I'm excited.
I need to finish my laundry so I can pack for this weekend.
But I won't do that right now since I'm at work.
The Tribe Has Spoken,
Rachel
P.S. THIS WEEKEND IS GONNA BE AWESOME!
Wednesday, November 17, 2010
Rachel,
I used to call UNICON by UNICORN, but I gave that up HOURS ago. I registered as a shape-shifter instead, by the way. Tiffany here wanted to be a unicorn, so I let her have it. And, as you know, I also printed wizard certificates for us in honor of our Harry Potter weekend.
I have several one sentence comments to make, so I will list them:
- What did you get my mom? This is weird.
- You can’t marry Jake Gyllenhaal. You can’t even spell his name right.
- Jake is also dating Taylor (supposedly).
- Taylor Swift, in case that wasn’t clear.
- Octopuses (octopi to the latin-literate) have rectangular pupils.
- I am going to be here for New Year’s so I can help out with Christmas Conference. Plus, I wouldn’t want people making any awkward judgments of us, if you know what I mean.
- I think my coffee maker burned my coffee. I don’t know what to do with myself.
- To ease the pain of my coffee trauma, I had a burrito for breakfast (I went a little crazy at Trader Joe’s yesterday).
- Ryan Reynolds is officially 2010's Sexiest Man Alive. I am VERY pleased with this.
- I found something for you: http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2Zc47X/www.toxel.com/inspiration/2009/11/25/bear-sleeping-bag/
- And also: http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1XDoRB/www.idodogtricks.com/index_flash.html
I was thinking last night. What if someone had a psychological condition where they couldn’t help but eat their toothbrush? What a mental battle it would be. They couldn’t just have gross teeth, so they would try to brush them. But then every time they would put the toothbrush in their mouth, they would eat it, as hard as they tried not to. I’m seeing a Dateline special on this. I could invent it and become famous.
Did you see Prince William is engaged? I totally stalked all the news about it yesterday. (I almost typed noose instead of news… not the same.) They’ve been dating for eight years, so it’s about time. But he gave her Princess Di’s engagement ring, and I think it is GORGEOUS. I mean, I’m usually not one for non-diamond engagement rings, but dude… it looks NICE. That reminds me of when I went to the Princess Di exhibit at the Dayton Art Museum. As I walked through, I sang “Goodbye English Rose” and cried. Luckily I walked through by myself.
I have to meet with a big wig tomorrow. The head judge… I don’t really know what her title is. But I’m nervous regardless.
I WANT MY COFFEE!!!
Lol… DENNIS QUAID WANTS COFFEE!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iffwcn-Emlc&feature=fvst

The Supernatural Registration Association? Really? Are they serious? Where do you find these things? I honestly don't understand how you find the WEIRDEST stuff on the internet. Do you just sit down and google things for hours? Nevertheless, I'm always impressed. That kinda rhymed. T. Swift would be proud.
I'm going to chew another piece of gum. This is risky because I've already had two pieces this morning. But I think I'm getting sick because my throat feels weird and sometimes chewing gum helps. Here goes...
So far so good.
So I waited too long to eat my lunch today. This means that I got those pesky stomach spasms I get sometimes when I don't eat for long periods of time. It literally felt like I'd swalled knives. I couldn't work for 30 minutes because it hurt so much. See, I couldn't eat right when my lunch started because I had to go out and get your mom's present. She better gosh darn appreciate the HECK out of this present!
We checked out another venue for the new year's party this afternoon. It was really nice! All this venue checking out is really making me want to get married! I wish Jake Gyllenhaul would get back to me on that.
I think it would be fun to be a unicorn. Ironically, UNICON is often mistaken for UNICORN. I wish our company was a beautiful white mythical creature with a holographic horn and rainbow colored hair.
I also wish I could bring you to our New Year's Party. It's going to be a big deal. Actually, if you came to visit me you probably could come as my significant other since I technically don't have a significant other. You're the most significant person in my life. Unless I wrote down, yes, I will be attending, and save a seat for my significant other, JESUS!
It's raining. It's POURING. And that old man in the office is snoring.
I hope I don't have to walk into the gym in the rain. I will NOT be a happy camper! Or a happy worker outer!
My stomach is uneasy. I think it's because you're not here with me.
I wish I had more funny and witty things to say to you since you entertain me so in your posts.
Alright, don't want to give you too much at once or else you'll get spoiled and start taking my humor for granted.
Rrraaaaccccchhhhheeeeeellllllll
Racheesy,
I am so glad you deleted mixpod. You have no idea how much it was annoying me as well. I muted my computer whenever I blogged. I am overjoyed that my new blog has no music. I loved all the songs I had on there, but HOW FRUSTRATING.
My father’s name is Matt.
I am learning from my co-worker how much of certain beverages it would take (I can only assume in one sitting) to kill you. 560 cups of green tea. 206 cans of Mountain Dew. 88.6 cans of Monster. But, most alarmingly, 103 tall Starbucks lattes. I’m getting close, Rachel. Getting close.
I answered your facebook question on my other blog.
I will google your salt question. Oh the first link is from the Mayo Clinic. Legit. It says it’s not healthier. Here, I will copy and paste for your educational development. “Sea salt and table salt have the same basic nutritional value — both mostly consist of two minerals — sodium and chloride. However, sea salt is often marketed as a more natural and healthy alternative. The real differences between sea salt and table salt are in their taste, texture and processing, not their chemical makeup.”
I think I will go to Trader Joes and get some sushi for lunch. I brought a lunchable, but…. it’s not calling to me. I will save it for tomorrow.
Lighten up with the makeup dude. Psychologically, I mean. Worrying about it is probably why you have those zits. If you feel more confident in makeup, then wear it. You’re not more beautiful, but more confident. Yes? I agree that we should be comfortable the way God made us, and if you want to literally live by that, that’s cool. But don’t feel bad about wearing it. The way I see it, God didn’t make us to be zitty. We did that to ourselves with our stress and our air and water contamination. I may be wrong though, so don't listen to me.
I have Justin Bieber in my head. I must admit… I don’t hate the kid. Know what else I don't hate? Black Friday. I'm pumped for some shopping and some epic people-watching.

SHOOT! I spent so much time coming up with your name-gram thingamajiger that I forgot what I was going to say!
I remember now!
I just thought I would tell you that a lot of Matt's have come into my life recently and I thought you would appreciate knowing who they are.
Matt #1: New UNICON Employee who likes to email me asking a whole bunch of questions
Matt #2: One of UNICON's Lawyers, also known as Goregous Matt who is in fact, goregous
Matt #3: Alissa's new boyfriend slash friend who's a boy slash guy she's dating slash whatever the heck he is.
Matt #4: Personal Trainer slash part owner of the gym I go to slash guy I practice flirting with.
Plus my brother's name is Matt. I'm very confused most of the time because of this.
That is all for now.
Rachel
I deleted the music player from our blog. I hope you're okay with that because it was starting to DRIVE ME CRAZY!!@!@#*(&$!(*y$@
Rachel, Deleter Of Mixpod
Yes, you are weird for thinking semis are cute. They are big ugly things that try to squish you between them and the cement wall on the side of the freeway.
I must admit that I am impressed with your thirst for knowledge when you're bored at work. I usually just blog, balance my checkbook, nap, or modcloth it up. Speaking of modcloth, I'm pretty sure I now have a $12,000 wish list there. That's okay though because I have a feeling that I'm going to win this $100,000 Amazon sweepstakes I've been entering the past couple weeks and you can import Modcloth things to your Amazon wish list so I'll be able to get all those dresses and more when I win! I might get one for you too.
I don't remember what else you posted.
Oh, I do remember a question I had for you, why did you get rid of your Facebook? I admire you for doing that. I actually have noticed that I don't get on very much anymore.
I was cold in my cubicle before but now I'm really hot. Perhaps I should take my fleece jacket off...Yes, much better.
I wore make-up today. Half the reason was to draw attention away from the big zit on my chin. This sounds weird but I struggle a lot with wearing make up. I feel like I look just fine without it, but I think I look prettier with it but I feel like I should be happy with how I naturally look but I feel better about myself with it on but then I feel worse that I feel better with make up. Do you see why my head hurts after thinking about it too much.
I like the sound of typing on a keyboard.
We bought out champagne for this weekend! I have to remember to bring the cork opener so we can open it Saturday. Most people are going to take theirs home most likely, but since we lived 3 hours apart I figured we might want to have a tiny glass while we're together. But not too much because we'll have drinks at dinner.
I wish I had fun information to share with you, but then again I never was as cultured as you. Here's some information I know: Wendy's is introducing new fries that are supposed to be "healthier" They're made from different potatoes and have the skin on and use seasalt instead.
What's the different between sea salt and regular salt and what makes it healthier?
Favorite songs on new T. Swift album:

I greatly enjoyed your last post. You are so witty it gets me every time. Right in the gut.
I am chewing a piece of gum right now, which if you can remember my phone call to you is a pretty risky and potentially dangerous and life threatening activity to be engaged in.
My left arm/shoulder has been hurting me lately. At first I thought it was because my heart was failing, being so far away from you and all, and then I thought it was because I always wear my purse on my left arm, and my purse is ridiculously heavy. Bricks, dictionaries, staple guns, regular guns, hot glue guns, books, and water bottles can really rack up the pounds in a purse. So I started wearing my purse on my right shoulder. But it still hurts. Now I think it's because I hurt while sleeping one night. So I only slept on my right side last night. I didn't sleep well because I kept waking up in a fright if I caught myself sleeping on my left side.

I am going to start looking for sparkly, club-worthy, outfits for us to wear. Then I'm going to sew monograms on them just like Laverne and Shirley.
My small group is going to have a white elephant gift exchange. I feel like I would like to give an actual white elephant to the exchange.
If I could choose to have any pet, I would choose to have a Koala. That's right, a Koala. I'd name him Freddie.
If you could move to Columbus and start a business with me, what would it be? For me, it would be a blacksmith business.
What are your feelings towards laser tag?

Rachel (also lacking),
That was quite the extensive blog post. Were you not the one who wanted to keep them shorter? Hmm? I think I smell something… it smells a little like… HYPOCRISY!!!!!!
I don’t really care, I like reading your long life tales.
Sorry for not texting you lol. I have been a little anti-social and have also had my nose stuck in a book. Nothing personal. Besides not liking you. But besides that, nothing personal. I forgot my phone at home once when I went to work. I lost it, didn’t know what to do with myself. Needless to say I was on facebook waaayyy more than usual that day. It’s sad, really. I am trying to get on facebook less because my addiction is really starting to gross me out. The other day I started a twitter, but I haven’t done anything with it. As much as I would like it, I don’t know if I want to attach myself to another social media outlet. Oh, and then the day I forgot my phone at work, I came back to get it at like 7 or 8, but I was racing the sun because I didn’t want to be in this area of town after dark SOMEONE’S PHONE WON’T STOP BUZZINGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, I didn’t want to be here after dark, so I drove quickly but not TOO quickly as I didn’t want get in a car accident and not have my phone on me, and then I got here and SHOT inside and couldn’t find my phone. But I did find an attorney lurking around in the shadows. He was kind of creepy, but he’s also really attractive, so I was torn. Like Bella in Twilight. Lolz Code Timberwolf! Oh also, the phone was in the trunk of my car. Don’t ask.
Congrats on the laptop and the surprise money.
I listened to Kim Kardashian’s song against your wishes. I kind of just felt like I was listening to a robot band. And a poor one, at that. But just you watch, she will sell records because she’s got a reality TV show and looks like a real-life Barbie. A porn star Barbie. That was mean, I’m sorry. Just a plain Barbie.
Event planning sounds fun! I think I would like that too… maybe. Eh, maybe not. Too many details to work out. I don’t like planning that much at all, come to think of it. I’ll leave it to you, and then enjoy the event that you put together.
I CANNOT GET OVER HOW MUCH I LOVED GLEE. I was enraptured by the all-boys choir, and then the girls tots rocked it. I’m pretty sure that they are trying to earn back some fan support for good ol Will because people don’t like him as much anymore. It kind of worked… but I still don’t like him. I did get online to purchase Teenage Dream and the girls mash-up… which were, coincidentally, #1 and #2 on the itunes chart. Rock on, America. Rock on.
I don’t believe time travel will ever happen. And if it does, you won’t be able to change anything. Plus if we were to have the ability to travel through time, I think we’d be past cell phones.
Back to work,

I took notes (which I originally typed as nights because Megan was talking to me and I was trying to listen and type at the same time and she said "Nights" which made me type it...just so you know) while reading your post so I would know what to type. Here are my responses:
1) Really Heimlich family, REALLY!?!? So if someone is choking how am I supposed to ask if I can do the Heimlich Manuever on them!? PEOPLE WILL DIE BECAUSE OF YOUR SELFISHNESS!!!!
2) I also LOVE READING. So much. So so much. That's why one of my dreams is to have a library in my future house. However, I don't get much time to do it. It usually takes me a few months to finish a book.
3) I am SOOO pumped for Casino weekend, especially the night club. I've never been to one but I've always wanted to experience it, so it's nice that we get to experience it together for free :) And I am being completely honest when I say this...I was also thinking I needed a sparkly top to wear. Are you also thinking matching sparkling tops for us? We'd be so cute.
4) Leaf-bird. Haha. I will NEVER forget that.
Okay, now that I have your responses out of the way, it's time for my stuff. See I haven't had much time at work to post a blog, so I've been jotting down topics I wanted to mention in the mean time. Now I have a big long list of things to discuss with you. I'm glad you like reading so much because this is going to be a long one.
-I left my cell phone at the office Monday night. It was pure torture. TORTURE. Let me tell you why it was torture. Because all I could think about the whole night was "what if Becca Becca Bo Becca texts me and I can't respond because I don't have my phone! She'll be DEVASTED!" Turns out, you didn't text me the ENTIRE NIGHT! Whad up wit dat Becca?!
-Our new facility for my gym opened up Monday. I used it. It was nice. They have locker rooms with showers. Not that I plan on using them, but it's nice to know. Although there were no shower curtains up. But I asked and they'll be putting them up. Thank goodness.
-When I checked my Capital One credit card account yesterday I noticed that I had $11.72 of cash rewards on a card I haven't used for 2 months so I have no idea where it came from. Ridden with guilt for having money I didn't deserve I called Capital One only to find out that for some reason unknown to me, it really IS my money. So summary..I'm $11.72 richer than I thought I was. Perhaps I shall use it to buy a sparkly top.
-I fixed my laptop. Hooray!
-DON'T FORGET ABOUT OUR EMINEM RAP-OFF!!!! I am officially declaring it ON!
-I heard Kim Kardashian's new song. It sucks. Seriously. I hope you never have to listen to it as my ears literally caught on fire when I heard it. Some people should never have music careers. Like Kesha.
-The sermon at my church this past week was about the Sabbath. I'm not going to go into detail because this post is long enough, but long story short he challanged us to take a 24 hour period this week as our Sabbath. No work. Just relaxing. Mine is going to start Saturday at 6pm. Perhaps I can get some reading done :)
-I wrote muffins down, and that's all I wrote. I don't remember why, but all I can think about are the Studmuffins. I miss those guys.
-Right now Megan and I are working on planning UNICON's big New Year's Party which will actually take place a few weeks after New Year's Day. While I will admit I don't know much about event planning, I have to admit that I am LOVING IT! All we've done so far is look at possible venues, which I had a blast doing. We're touring the 3 that have gotten back to us, which I'm uber excited about. The bad thing is, a lot of the banquet halls we looked at mainly advertised as reception halls for weddings, which means Megan and I got wedding fever really bad! I WANT TO BE MARRIED RIGHT NOW BECCA! I just realized that what I said sounded like we were dating and I wanted you to marry me right now.
-I'm watching Glee at work right now and if you didn't watch last night there is an arrangement of Teenage Dream by Katy Perry. I hate that song. With a passion. BUT I LOVE THIS VERSION OF IT!
-I saw an article with a video on my yahoo homepage a week ago. It was about a big controversy about a video that surfaced from an old charlie chaplin movie from like the 20s or 30s. It's a behind the scenes clip and it shows a woman walking by who looks like she has a cellphone up to her ear and is talking on it. I watched the video and when zoomed in, I have to admit, it really did look like she was talking on a cell phone. Now everyone thinks it's someone who time travelled back to the 20s. This tells me 2 things: 1) That I will one day be super smart and invent a time traveling device and travel back to the 1920s on a Charle Chaplin movie set and walk around talking on my cell phone. 2) In the future I will have an AWESOME cell phone plans that covers calls made a decade earlier. SWEET! And I'm assuming it's Verizon and NOT Sprint.
-There's a recurring news story in the central ohio area. I think you will get a kick out of this. It's about a woman called the Church Lady Bandit. She's an older woman (I think 50s, possibly 60s) who used to dress up like a church lady and rob banks. That's right, COMMIT FELONY! An old lady, dressed like she's going to church. She's robbed 5 banks and hasn't been caught. I know breaking the law is wrong, but I find this story HILARIOUS!!!!!!
That's all I got. I will continue to keep a list so I don't forget all the clever quips I have to tell you.
Yours forever and always unless you break up with my over the phone is 23 seconds (T. Swift reference)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REMINDING ME TO ORDER T. SWIFT'S NEW CD! I got it from Amazon because it's cheaper, but I also had to order more stuff to get the free shipping. So I ordered Sara Bareilles' new CD and two sets of acoustic guitar strings, both of which I needed to survive.
So you know how I normally forget EVERYTHING that I wanted to tell you in my post? Well I wrote them down throughout the day as I thought of them. You're welcome.
1) I am SUPER upset about my laptop. I keep praying that God will let me be able to fix it somehow. I mean, there's nothing on there that I'd be upset about losing if it crashed because it's all on my external hard drive. I'm just upset that I might have to spend a bunch of money to get it fixed. I'll figure it out.
2) I gave blood yesterday. I think I'm almost up to 2 gallons donated total! Just think, some where out there, there is a small group of people with my blood coarsing through their bodies. Luck ducks. DUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3) As a follow up to the previous numbered statment, I think they took more blood than they said because I have been feeling exceptionally tried today. Not just tired, by also physically exhausted. All I can think about it how much I want to take a nap.
4) When I went to bed last night my needle prick was still bleed slightly so I put a big ol band-aid on it. Turns out the band-aid used super glue because when I took it off this morning I seriously think it took off the top layer of my skin. Seriously. It hurt. Really. Bad.
5) I look forward to Fridays at work because I can wear my jeans. I am not sure why but I can actually feel my level of comfort at work rise when I'm wearing jeans instead of dress pants.
6) I got a paper cut on my wrist today. (grr Austin). And in true paper cut style it felt like I had a 4 inch gash up my arm.
7) About a week ago I learned the true function of cut and paste. I honestly never knew that's how it worked before. Learn something new every day I guess.
8) This week has been crazy busy for me at work. But today was slower so I got to catch up on my tv shows.
9) Speaking of watching TV online at work, I watched Community. Do you know who was on Community this week? I will tell you. It was Hilary Duff. First of all, she looked really pretty. Marriage is good for her. Second, it reminded me how you met her personal assistant and she said Hilary was really nice. I've always gotten that impression from Hilary and I always liked that she never when psyco slut crazy like some other celebrities we know (COUGH Miley Cyrus). That being said. I have decided that when I'm famous, Hilary and I will be best friends. And you'll do something that I forgot because I was interupted to help the accounting lady.
10) You just sent me a text message, possibly two. I look forward to reading them in 15 seconds.
You are the weakest link, Goodbye
