Wilson FarmsI love Wilson Farms. Say what you will it is just a great store. It is a slightly classy corner store really and I just love it. I loved the one by my parents house and I love the one on the corner of my street now. I just feel like they have the stuff you need in a relatively clean and not smelly or overly hotdogs on a roller environment. BUT NOW 7-11 Has bought out my beloved WIlson Farms and has started to change them over. The one near Summer has already been coverted and it is already subpar to the wilson farms. It has that distinct miscelaneous meat on rollers smell already and it already looks cheaper and dirtier. It's like they import the dirtiness? It's like the lowered all the shelves , and made them look older and barer. I hope tehy forget about my 2 favorite wilson farms and just never convert them......

Homemade Dance VideosSorry to dissapoint because I'm sure you all just got really excited thinking I was posting homemade videos of me dancing...but alas I'm not BUT I WISH I WAS and that's what this is about. While looking up Ke$ha on Youtube I cam across this video and it looks so fun and then they have other ones too. They are the Boston Flag Football League which is like a gay (but they have straight people too) flag football league. But I guess they do music videos on the side not really clear how that works out except they must just be really fun people. So now I wanna make music videos with my friends, it looks so fun....whose in!?!
Seriously they look they are having so much fun!!! I love how serious some of them look trying to get the moves when they are doing the group parts.

Snowman Wegmans WalkSo yesterday at work I took my lunch at around 4 and it had snowed earlier but was clear and now snowing and not too bad so I decided to walk to WEgmans which is only like half a mile away. I figured it would be faster and easier than brushing off my car and trying to drive down the 1 road while there was lots of traffic leaving the bulidings. WEll I got there in no time not problem. I get my sub and this bean salad thing, was making good time, walk outside and WHOA it turned into a whiteout blizzard hurricane storm of death. Ok I didn't have a hat or scarf on but really when I left my building 15 minutes earlier they were not needed. WELL THEY WERE NOW. I seriously couldn't see like 2 inches in front of me, walked into trees and stakes in the ground and curbs and thought I was going to die. It literally is usually like a 7 minute walk and it felt like it took me 2 hours (it didn't but it felt like it) It was so intense, the wind was so hard and cold in my face and the snow was beating me down. I was trying to block my face with my gloved hand but it was either my face or ears , it was such a hard decision and plus my glove had a missing finger top so it made it all the worse. I seriously wanted to give up like halfway back and just lay down and die in the snow. It was insane. I tried to run but that just made it feel even worse. I really was thinking I wasn't going to make it back but I did. AND OMG when I looked in the mirror , I had like a thick layer of snow on my head and everywhere else and my face was like sunburned/windburned red and i had a heacache and an everything ache. It was so bad. It was so crazy though, literally it is only a half a mile and I walk it all the time but this storm was something crazy. It was sooo intense and windy and snowy and ice shooting at my face. I felt like crap all night. Moral of the story: just drive the car (that may be anti green and anti environment but I don't care, it would so horrible) . Granted my coworker who left a little after me to go home said it took like a half hour to get to the light outside wegmans from our building by car so maybe that would have taken forever but it would have been better than being frozen alive.

I read the entry title and thought, "how cute, wegman's has a snowman walk?!" then I began reading and realized how terrible what you were really talking about was...
Sorry you had to go through that boo. I believe I experienced the same sort of thing in hs once... When I got into the office, the secretaries gave me towels or something to attempt to dry off. I was wear a skirt that day too, bad choice.

Yeah, it was insane. I was walking home from work during the whiteout. It usually takes me 30 mins to get home but it took at least 90 mins yesterday. It was the first time I ever experienced the snow blinding me. It was whipping into my eyes, making them sting so much I had to keep shutting them. I was walking down Delaware ave with my eyes closed, seriously thinking I might get hit by a car and die and id never see it coming. Oh winter!

Ricky Martin turned me?Glee is not my favorite show and I have not watched it in a hot minute but tonight it was featuring none other than our favorite rich b**** Miss Nene Leakes from the Real Housewives of Atlanta and Ricky Martin of supersonic bilingual hispanic stardom. SO OF COURSE I WAS TUNING IN.....(ok actually I didn't realize this was tonight and Dave mentioned it when we were flipping the channels and we deicdd to watch it but BOY AM I GLAD I DID!)
ANywho, Glee is not what this post is about. While watching Ricky perform I'm Sexy and I Know It with the cast of Glee (which by the way I am soooo sick of this song, it is on everything!) anywho it reminded me of a 1998 Grammy performance when this happened....
This though was not only a rip roaring, raucus good time which went on to become one of my favorite songs of all time it is also my first distinct memory of being attracted to a guy that I can think of. I think I was a freshman in highschool or maybe a sophomore but I"m pretty sure freshman. ANywho, I saw this performance and immediately was in love with the music and a little bit the man...or maybe a lot bit...come on now, leather pants and dancing, who wouldn't be enamored. ANyway I really remember it because right after it aired I went online and ordered the cd because I really wanted it, I remember this because I don't think I had ever ordered anything online at this point in my life and I am actually wondering if maybe I really just reserved it online at a store to pick up because I can't imagine buying anything online in 1998 but I do remember having to wait for it to come so I must have....not exactly clear on the details. Anyway I remember the next day in school talking about how much I loved the song and had to order it right away and my friend Marissa told me at lunch that she had done the same thing and she was talking about how hot Ricky was and wow wow wowwee he was smoking and I remember thinking how I wanted to agree but could only talk about how much I liked the music but not the man.
I sitll listen to that, his last spanish language before he broke big in America album all the time, in fact whenver the weather gets nice I want to listen to it and put it in my car and was listening ot it last week when we had some nice days.
THe weird part about this or maybe not so weird part is I could totally in my mind at the time separate my love for Ricky Martin from the idea of liking men. ANd it's weird because believe it or not I really did not go through my highschool years like trying to hide who I was and like really wanting men but pretending it wasn't true. I really didn't realize or maybe didn't accept it but I definitely besides particulary this Ricky Martin moment did not feel like I was hiding or trying to prevent anything. There were definitely girls I thought I loved and maybe I knew somehting was a bit off but I really didn't realize it. I know people think I just was denying it but I really didn't realize it as far as I remember. Except for Ricky....oh sweet sweet ricky martin.
P.S. look at all the people in the Grammy audience, this is only like a little over 10 years ago and they are mostly all wearing like tuxes and fancy dresses, now they wear craziness and meat.

I know I agree but I so distinctly remember like ordering it in some way right after I saw it on tv and talking about waiting for it. Since I still have the same email address maybe I can go through my old emails and see if I have a receipt or something.

I remember when you got the Ricky cd. I think you were one of the first people I knew who had heard of him? Also, could you order things online in 1998??? After waiting through the busy signal to get on America Online and set up meetings between two random strangers...???

wow - I actually never heard that song in English. There are only a couple lines in English but it totally changes the timbre of the song... I don't know if I like it. Maybe its just my faulty memory or maybe I was TOO much into spanish metal in 98. I think it was the second. I thought ricky martin was such an antithesis to all my fav bands. simply didn't like him. He teeth were too white.

I had a similar feeling about the gay thing but not for ricky martin. I thought that I was just jealous of certain guys. It wasn't until into my 20s that I realized that I was not looking at hot guys because I was jealous but because they were nice to look at. It really did wonders for this jealously issue I thought I was having. Now when I look at hot guys instead of thinking, "I am jealous I want thay feature", I think, "I want to tap that."

That is pretty interesting. The thing that is kinda odd not about your story cause that really makes a lot of sense... Is how that kinda reflects or could in the show.... Puck is straight up football straight and he liked his teeth all the girls of course where into him and even arty was... Now maybe I miss read the show but they made it to me kinda imply or hint at arty and puck not I wouldn't go as far as being gay but finding him attractive....

I as someone who use to work there loved the placed... Just couldn't work there anymore but won't get into that.... I love how the one on summer looks but the selection is way down.... I can't imagine how the one I worked at down the street will be when converted........
arizona has limited convenience stores, and they all lack their purpose. they sell 90% meat on roller types items... in addition to weird spicy/salty food like salted plums, and random scary looking spicy shrimps things with the head on. le sigh.
I felt the same way when all the convenient stores got bought out and the one by Roosevelt closer. I stole the sign when they threw it out and kept it in the garage and Heather and I wrote a song about it. I think I might still have the lyrics somewhere.
