Today, Barb is: feeling like it is friday.
which is a good thing. except i have to be back here tomorrow. :-(
meh. oh well.
ok here is my dilema that i am having right now.
when i rented my apartment i looked at it through rent.com
and it was an apartment that at the time was giving away a hundred dollar visa gift card if you signed the lease for one of the apartments in the offer. lo and behold, ours was one of them.
so i signed up for the gift card and it has arrived.
now here is the tricky part. should i just walk on the wild side and just blow it on fun stuff, like books and other stuff. i could have a field day at my fav ebook sites.
or do i take the mature responsible road and use it for like food, gas, and cat litter/food stuffs.
wild side or responsible?
thus the never ending barb dilema.
what say you people?
let me know.

Today, Barb is: getting in two, yep count them 2 posts!
here goes my thursday thirteen!
NUMBER ONE
Is my fantastic dresser! I got this from my brother jim and i love it! he painted it and everything!
NUMBER TWO
is my sweet desk that I got at a garage sale for a total of three dollars.
yep. three dollars. SWEET!
NUMBER THREE
number three is my desk chair . it goes to the desk above. it is from Ikea and i love it!! It is red and i like red, even though it doesn't really go with my natural wood look in the room
NUMBER FOUR
is my tv stand/stuff holder. again, if you notice Ikea and natural wood. if you look in the left hand bottom corner that will give you a sneak peak of number 5
NUMBER FIVE
my current book stack.
i have read them all. except Wicked and I am in the starting position of that. if you look close, there is some Shiloh Walker, Anya Bast and Charlene Teglia in the pile
NUMBER SIX
my bed. i love it. there isn't anything else to say. i really like my comforter set. i bought and exchanged 3 sets before i decided to stick with this one. i am glad that i did!
NUMBER SEVEN
is my actual bed frame.
Ikea, natural wood.... are you getting the picture? i like it. even though it was harder than hell to put it together since we were missing like 12 holes for screws. it sucked.
NUMBER EIGHT
is the art above my bed. ikea, natural wood.... green... pretty.. flowers. i like the one on the left the best.
NUMBER NINE
this is my little beetle's homage. it is above my bathroom and closet doors. bathroom is on the left. closet is on the right.
NUMBER TEN
the stuff in my bathroom on my sink.
mainly my 2 bottles of product and my flat iron and blow dryer. i have NEVER owned any of these things before. this is a big step for me. i blame Nick my hair stylist. he rules!
NUMBER ELEVEN
which leads me to the rest of the bathroom!!! if you don't know, i have a ducky accent theme. i love it!!! the following pictures are close up pics of my bathroom
this is the inside of my bathtub. ducky non-slip-on-the-bottom-of-the-tub-things-that-don't-stick-to-the-bottom-because-there-is-already-stuff-there
so i put them on the sides of the shower to use as decoration.
that is my shower curtain duckys.
CLOSE UP!!!!!!!!

house warming present from my momma. it is a ducky nightlight! i heart it!

Today, Barb is: wondering why work sucks so much?
maybe it is what i am doing.
maybe it is the fact that i am like a month behind.
maybe it is the fact that i need a new job.
yep. that has come again. the time of the month where barb looks for a job, sees a job she really really wants, gets interviews, and then doesn't get it. it is a vicious vicious cycle. it sucks. but alas. that is the world with barb.
i am currently working on my Thursday Thirteen and since Eric is not feeling well we are not going to Merlin's Rest for fish and chips tonight. insert sad face here. there is a chance that i may just go and have dinner myself tonight there. i don't know. i will let you know.
threw a baby shower for the sister in law who is pregnant. that went well.
baby is due at the beginning of october. so i will hopefullly have some pics up when the babe is born. i am taking guesses as to if it is a girl or a boy. we don't know.
i went to the Melting Pot last night because work (in a surprisingly nice gesture) wanted to recognize everything i have done lately and told me to take my significant other out for dinner on them. so i took eric, not quite my significant other, but the closest gayest thing i have. we had fun. i am still full and this is the day after!
found a couple new blogs that i like. been a lurker for most of them.
took pictures that will be going up today of my bedroom area in the new apt. (hint hint TT, cough) so that should be cool.
just got invited to a movie sneak peek tonight for free that i might go to. the new Ron Howard one...? something about the astronaunts, i am not sure.
ok. back to work i go!

Today, Barb is: feeling like she needs to shut herself in the closet and make all the people go away.
have you ever had one of those day?
i don't even have time to talk to you today.
that is how crazy it is right now.
can i just leave and not come back but still get a pay check?
probably not, but it is worth a shot! right?

Today, Barb is: feeling full and totally going to explode!!!
just so you all know, this is my 301st blog post.
hold on a moment while the clouds part and confetti falls from the sky.
ok enough of that.
today it is friday.
hip hip horray.
on the bad part, i woke up at like 4 am this morning to major craps.
not cool.
but it got better and then i did wake up.
i had to wake up really early to take my car to a dealership and have it looked at. my baby has this thing where i can't shift unless the key is in the shift lock thingy. and so i took it in EARLY this morning (for those of you who don't know me, i am not a morning person). i got there and i heard the most beautiful sentence in the car world
'It looks like your Aveo is still under warranty'
YES!!!!!!!!!!
way to go barb's car! i did a happy dance, right there in the car dealership. i am not going lie. i was so happy i was tempted to give the guys the brownies i made for the pot luck we had today at work.
brownies?
see the last post. yum
i made brownies because we decided to have a bank pot luck and i decided to make brownies since most people were bringing other stuff. needless to say, we have WAY to much food. like i am talking we could eat what we have for the next week and a half. we have 2 cakes.
2 cakes people.
brownies, chicken, pasta salad, lettuce salad, chips and dip, cheese curds, cucumber sandwiches, ice cream, watermelon, cantaloupe, watermelon.
way to much food.
but it puts everyone in a good mood!!! :-) so we are rip-roarin' and having a grande ole time here at the work.
have a good weekend people, i will be around.
