*maybe*

(a shot of chocolate milk to go with yesterday's banana bread :))

i think *maybe* i found a fitting title. i'm so bad with titles...i can write until the cows come home but i can never think of a title. ever.

i also think maybe i found a new layout i'm satisfied with. *maybe*

this and that's that are very poorly organzied...

(did some bakin and picture takin on my days off...)

what do you about the new layout? i like the bright. i'm hoping i like my color photos as much on the new background as i do the black and whites. if i really don't, i may change layouts again shortly. i really do need a new title though...the old one annoyed me.



*sigh*

i guess all i have left to to is whine for a bit...exciting, i know. okay, here goes.

i have this odd eye thing happening. it's all red and sore and it's from one of, or a combination of, three things. i hit it, i got jalapeno in it and i tried to wash it with hand soap. don't know the exact cause, but i know it hurts.

my day was spent back to the norm after 3.5 beautiful, creative and domestic days off in a row. after work, i studied a dead pigeon for a bit and woulda poked it if it weren't for the norm 9-5ers watching and then i wandered down a scary, dirty, horror-movie-esque stairway. it was all with good company though so it didn't seem weird at the time--or creepy.

i'm having some strange health things happening that may require a doctor visit or i could be over-reacting. i'll give it another day and see what happens. i feel ok but my body is saying something else. like i said, i'm probably jumping the gun. we'll see...

hmmm...what else...? think those are the things fresh in my mind. my mind isn't working on a long-term basis apparently since those things all happened within the last 12 hours. but, whatev.

i still have heroes to watch tonight. gold, i tell ya. oh...i came up with a brilliant business plan for the above mentioned company that got me all excited and sparked some of my own creative juices. i'm still trying to convince him it's a good idea though. (why wouldn't a documentary about turning 30, selling your car, making a movie and buying and living in an RV be a great idea? a bi-weekly youtube/blog update...twittering to keep everyone updated on progress...come on! it's awesome--and free. i have this giant plan surrounding it. he thinks i'm insaner than normal.)

oh, oh, oh...AND, best of all...my guy got a job :)

it's like jeapordy! ok...not even a little...

let's play a game. like a game show game. it'll be called, 'iris's game of guess what happened to her this week.' okay. maybe that title's a bit long.

hell, let's try this weeks round...

did iris:
a) bang her camera into her head leaving a bruise on her forehead?
b) make pink chalk during a work meeting?
c) witness a major car crash in the intersection of the corner she was standing on?
d) walk four and a half blocks to her car only to realize she forgot her keys back at work?
e) get pee from a three-toed box turtle all of her foot?

well, if you answered all of the above...you are correct. i don't have any prizes or anything. well, i guess your prize could be taking simple pleasure in knowing you probably had a more intelligent and mellow week than i did. though...in my defense, the turtle pee thing--well, i had no control over that one. (the girl handing me the turtle actually got the worst of it...i just got the blow back.)

d. to the e. to the l.i.c.i.o.u.s.

(like the new signature? i do too)

i had my favorite sandwich for lunch today. it was so delicious in fact, i had two of them. doesn't the picture just look scrumptious? i know...i thought so too.

here, let me give you the recipe...

white bread. buns are the yummiest for some reason.
cheese. real cheese--NOT kraft singles. they are delicious for lots, but not this sandwich.
mayonnaise.
garlic salt.
put two slices of cheese on your bread. microwave it until the cheese starts to melt and the bread is super soft. add a gob of mayo and sprinkle with garlic salt. enjoy.

oh! and then the best way to follow that up is with pretzels dipped in frosting.

ok...i'm a little embarrassed to be living up to that american dining stereo-type right now, but ya know what...every now and then...that's okay. especially on celebratory days like today...my favorite pants fit again. they were getting a little snug there... (seriously. i'm not lying.)

oh. it wasn't from the sandwiches though, since i can only eat like that once every other month or so without completely hating myself. it was actually from the mass amounts of wine i was consuming. go figure. it funny...ya sober up and not only do you not fall asleep at very inoppurtune times but you also lose weight. too bad my head is back to insane...

no spiders

not much to say today. i think my pics are more colorful than my thoughts tonight :) heehee. just kidding...no really though...they actually might be.

ya know what i didn't do at all today? pay attention to the clock. seriously...my alarm woke me up, i went to work. i realized around the time that i was getting hungry at work that i had a meeting, so i went. after that, i finished what needed to get done and i left. then i forgot to watch the time again. (though i got photos i somewhat enjoy...) and now, i think i might be tired. i should go to bed...though i have no idea what time it even is...

it's been a good day. irresponsible--but pretty damn carefree...and my mind is smiling because of it :)

i wanna talk about me, i wanna talk about i...

did some board game playin last night. apparently, i'm a bi-polar, narcissist--or at least that's the conclusion of the masses.

then again, that probably doesn't come as a surprise to too many who know me, huh?

whatta night...


oh crap. my last blog was alcohol pics too...

just a quick story

so, last night, three of us finished a bottle of tequila.

my head is super messy lately so, at 2:30 am i decided to go on a drunken, emotional rant. then the set of ears i was rambling to, passed out. it was probably for the better. definitely actually.

problem was, tequila makes me feel like i can run a marathon. seriously. i couldn't sleep, and everyone else was, so my lonely, crazy mind had all this time to swell. at 3:00, i decided i should just get up and shower and shave, it would feel good. plus, i wouldn't have to do it in the morning. at 3:30, i decided to upload photos, get some random editing done and check my e-mail. around 4:00, i finally fell asleep.

8:00 am, i bolt awake, can't go back to sleep, and decide i should just get up. once again, everyone else is passed out so my mind wanders and gets lost again. then, i heard birds outside and got super excited because the sun was out and the birds were singing; plus, with everyone still asleep, i had quiet time to grab a book, a lawn chair, a bottle of water and a granola bar, head outside and truly enjoy the morning--and that's what i did. my cloudy, yet wide awake, head and my wore out, yet ready-to-go body sat there for nearly a half an hour before the chill kicked in. apparently, it was 33 degrees. i decided to go inside and take the stove apart for a super deep cleaning instead.
