The One Where Sabrina Goes to the Dentist.

In a few moments I will be leaving for my appointment with the devil dentist.

On a random side note, Lately I have been watching Friends re-runs. And i just realized that the title of each show starts, "The One Where... ...Monica is Anal, Phoebe sings a dumb song, Ross talks like he is mildly retarded, Joey eats sandwiches and says How you Doing, Chandler spazes out and wears cardigans and Rachel looks as if she has a wad of chew in her lip."
I also realized how outdated that show is and not as funny as it used to be.

Strangers Among Us


For years I have been hearing about these mythical creatures. They are supposedly real people, who live and work among us. Almost alien like. Or like on that old 80's show "V" where the aliens walked and talked and looked like humans but underneath they were (gasp) reptiles!

But the people I am referring to really do exist. Who are these people you might wonder?

PEOPLE WHO GO HOME FOR LUNCH!

Yes, it's true, they really do exist!!! This rare breed of people who live within a short distance of work, so everyday they can make a quick jaunt home, let the dog\cat out, check the mail, and eat lunch in the comfort of their own home. They are not like the rest of the world who commutes from excruciating long distances everyday, forced to eat lunch in a stale\stinky staff lounge. Nope, these people work in the same area they live in. (Double Gasp)!

And how are you wondering do i know they exit? Because hold on to your hats folks, I'm shedding my skin, taking off the mask,

I AM ONE OF THEM!!!
(gasp gasp gasp gasp gasp gasp gasp gasp gasp gasp gasp gasp gasp gasp gasp gasp!!!!)

Yes, I am among the elite who can go home for lunch! Oh what joy, what splendor.
My dad would say at this moment: "Are you bragging or complaining?"
Oh I am bragging Dad, bragging my little hear out!!!!

I love it! ESCAPE!!!!!! FREEDOM!!!! I AM OUTTA HERE!!!!! Commuting is a four letter word in my book now!!!

WHAAAAAA!!!

That is the sound of me crying like a baby! This is why and I will tell it to backwards to lead up to the reason I am so upset.

My cousin Dan (second cousin) got married last weekend. He is a professional hockey player. So he gets to marry pretty girls who have sisters like Jenny McCarthy. Jenny McCarthy dates people like Jim Carrey. Now i had every intention of going to this wedding, but my mom and I just kept putting it off and then it was too late to go. I was fine with it really. Yes, I missed a trip to Colorado, the chance to dance with cute hockey players from both the St. Louis Blues and the Avalanche, and to play paparazzi for the night. Even Ryan and Trista from the Bachelorette made an appearance. I realized what I might miss, I even realized that the one and only Jim Carrey might be present. Giving me the chance to meet him and do impersonations for him and make him laugh and have him say, Really Sabrina, have you thought about acting? But instead i chose to relish in the last few days of my summer break.
BIG MISTAKE.

Turns out Jim was there, oh not just there, but dressed as FIDEL CASTRO!!!!
I suppose you are wondering why? Well Dan and Amy decided to have a 50's theme for their reception. I was actually planning on going as Jackie Kennedy! Oh why didn't i go?!?

Congratulations Dan and Amy!!
Much Love! I really do care more about your marriage then Jim Carrey. Really.

You would come to our party and not theirs. Right?

Last night I went to St. Petersburg for Borsch and White Russians with Janine. We have decided to become the friendly fairies at our school this year. Magically leaving gifts and happy notes in a teacher's box that especially needs it that week. We are the new hospitality committee.
You know that episode of The Office where Angela has her Christmas party and Pam and Karen have theirs to show that they are cooler... that is basically our goal. We want people to like us better than the hospitality committee. We make our own rules!
Tonight i am having an oyster feeding frenzy at Stella's with K & K. Oh crap, now all my stalkers will know where i am tonight. I guess I will take that risk.
And of course the best news of all today, is that my stranger friend Jodi (OK i stole that whole stranger\friend thing from matt,liz& madeline) Anyway, Jodi and her family were chosen by some birth parents to adopt their baby. A little girl! Jodi and Hubby have been waiting over 8 months for this, and then boom, it just happens.! Please think of them in your prayers. But oh how very exciting!!!

Wedding Details and What's Up with Tom Hanks and Caviar?

I was just perusing one of my favorite websites Hostess With the Mostess, when i saw the idea of all ideas, one of the things I said I HAD to have at my wedding some day; A candy bar! Ok let me say that again, A Candy Buffet...
I wouldn't want you to think that i wanted a snickers bar at my wedding. No, what i mean is a Buffet of bulk candy for guests to nibble on throughout the evening. All my favorite candies and sugar plum fairies dancing with glee. I also want a photo booth. A must! I was just talking to someone who had one at their wedding. You could go in the booth, take pictures and it would print out 2 identical sheets. One to keep and one for the guest book. I love it!
I would also like lots of caviar. But I'm sure i would have to marry into the Russian Mafia for that, and we've already done that whole mafia wedding theme once in our family.
And in case you think i don't pay attention when i watch movies. (i don't). But I have noticed that in 2 of Tom Hank's films, caviar plays a big role.
The first in BIG, when he tries caviar for the first time and spits it out all over.
The second is in You've got Mail, when he takes a big scoop of caviar and Meg Ryan's character says, "What are you doing, That's a garnish!" So then T.H. scoops up all the rest and plops it on his plate.
Why am i telling you this?
First: Because i like caviar.
Second: Because Kelly can't stand Tom Hanks.
Thirdly: I have 3 minutes until i can leave and i need to look busy.

Hi Neighbor!

The time has come, you can all stand up and give me a big round of applause, for I have made an appointment with the devil dentist. I know, I know, it's long overdue... but i got this Welcome to the Neighborhood free x-ray and cleaning from a local dentist when i moved in. So I decided to take them up on their offer.
Here are a few other free things I received for moving into the neighborhood:

1. Bottle of Champagne
2. Pillow
3. 30 minute massage
4. Free dinner at local Mexican restaurant
5. Free pick up of my cat by the Humane Society if found wandering.

All for me! I love my new neighborhood! Welcome!
