for someone who hates snobbery...
it was recently brought to my attention how many things i'm a snob about....
i'm pretty sure that there are a couple more that i can't think of at the moment...

  • proper use of grammar
    [i won't get started on this, but it's like nails down a chalkboard to hear it and now because of social networking the magnitude of people who don't know the proper use of their own language is lit-er-a-lly visible.]
  • steak
    [i like my filet rare-medium rare and will send it back if it's cooked any longer than this.]
  • soap
    [i prefer liquid soap to wash my hands and bar soap in the shower. boll weevil soap company is the only bar soap i'll use to bathe with. if i'm going on an overnight trip i make sure to pack some with me. :)]
  • cleaning supplies
    [there are certain brands and products i prefer to clean with. examples of these products: mr. clean magic eraser extra power, mr. clean magic eraser mop, windex, clorox (fresh linen scent), viva paper towels...]

i like what i like.
i can't help it.

i was recently informed that it had been a while since i'd last updated my blog, and that i needed to do so. i guess i just haven't really felt like there has been anything going on worth unloading. good or bad. i feel like my life has been pretty repetitious lately...
one thing that's become a recent issue is venice, the place where i have worked in tuscaloosa for over 2 1/2 years, is shutting down. i was going to have to quit anyway once i found a new job in birmingham at the end of the summer, but this isn't how i wanted things to end. :( i wanted to soak up my remaining days in tuscaloosa spending as much time as possible with my friends there. i didn't want to spend the rest of my time (as far as my lease is concerned) in dothan. but. it's hard to go a month and a half without having a job when you're used to it. so instead i will be spending the remainder of the summer soaking up the rays in southeast alabama.
jamie cullum's new album, the pursuit...amazing. be about that. oh. and people these days NEVER cease to stun me and leave me a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y speechless. i enjoy meeting new people and finding out what makes them tick SO much. it's so intriguing. i think everyone looks so much better with a little kiss from the sun. life is prettier in color. perfect summertime mix: now and then soundtrack. one of my favorite things to do in the summertime is to read. i love reading anytime, but i usually read the most during the summer for some reason. my fave = spending an evening curled up on the couch with H and a blanket reading a good book with a glass of red wine. mom and i were in the walmart check out line the other day, and i was looking at the magazines and saw that people had one featuring the stars of twilight. edward was on the front so i asked mom if i could add it to the buggy. her reply, "yes, as long as you let me look at it before you leave." :) love. i know...i get made fun of for being a harry potter & twilight fan but whatevs. i love them. they make me happy.
