POURING rain right now. Just finished our other blog and posted a pic of what the storm clouds look like rollin in and now its raining so hard its almost white outside. Definitely in need of a good soaker over here. It has been hazey the past couple days...fires in Indonesia cause haze when they are brought over by weather to Singapore.
I'm kind of hoping it rains all day. I was in the mood to stay home and clean and do laundry. I've been slacking. I admit, I have been on a manhunt for the perfect pair of shoes to wear for a wedding, so everything else has taken a back seat. And now I am delighted to spend a day at home doing chores. No problem there!
I am anxious to get my new Marian Keyes book my wonderful husband ordered for me. I love her fun, easy reads and have missed it! So I am definitely looking forward to that.
More to come later-off to start laundry :)
Cheers

JUST MAKES ME SICK
In response to recent events I have just become so angry, mad and upset.
I just do not understand why it's okay for people to do unacceptable things and get away with them. Even with celebrities and Presidents and musicians, it's all about denial and then cover up and excusing away things they have done that are wrong. I just do not understand when this became ok and acceptable to the rest of society.
I just do not understand what lead us to accept that marriage means nothing. It is as if people act like cheating is ok as long as you are a celebrity or athlete and if you come out an apologize you are forgiven. It not ok and frankly I'm tired of hearing about ALL the infidelity in the world. Grow up. It's ridiculous. Don't get married in the first place. What is wrong with people that cheat? What is worse, is they will end of affecting people they have never even met. But they dont care because it is never about anyone else but THEMSELVES. Selfish people shame on you!!
Thats enough for now. I'm all fired up and better quit before I write something I regret.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

UHM....
Just a few rants for today, then I'll be done:
1. Another monsoon season has begun. Thus meaning: go to the grocery store and run other errands BEFORE 11am, when the rains begin. Its no fun being stuck in the train station without an ella and 5-6 grocery sacks.
2. I need to find some galoshes
3. Maybe now that there has been a funeral, much of the MJ stuff can be put to rest. Or whatever. Really sad seeing his little girl speak on tv & have it talked about by tons of talk shows.
4. Matt & I made awesome sweet n sour chicken last night. He is the best help cooking. And just about everything else too.
5. I finally finished my summer top....gaawsh I need a sewing machine and I'd be set. Pretty good for someone who didnt take measurements and had to stitch the whole thing by hand. Pat on the back for that one.
6. Is it the weekend yet??? I need it to hurry up and get here.
7. And last but not least: WASH YOUR HANDS AND SAY YOUR PRAYERS B/C GERMS AND JESUS ARE EVERYWHERE.

WHAT'S GOING ON
Matt and I had a wonderful stay-cation together last week. I am definitely sad it is over. I just had the best time tooting around Singapore with him. It was so nice to have your buddy there to do all sorts of things with you. I miss him already! Wish he didnt have to go to work. A couple funny things from stay-cation:
1. The US Navy was in town @ the end of the week and we gots lots of "off da ship?" questions from locals wanting to sell us crap or give us a trishaw ride.
2. Matt hassled the waitstaff at El Patio to give us 2 more beers at Happy Hour price
Anyway....
Tonight is our special date at an Aussie steakhouse not too fair away at Duxton Hill at a restaurant called Uluru. I'm so excited! Can't wait to get all dressed up for the hubs! It's one of my favorite things to do :)
www.uluru.com.sg
Hmm....what to wear?
I went shopping yesterday and got some new clothes....a little more professional looking than my usual jeans and tank top or jean skirt. Good thing the GSS was going on still (until the 26th of July to be exact). I got 5 pieces of clothes: 2 dress pants, 2 tops and 1 dress for S$85=USD$56. Pretty good huh? And Matt even liked all my purchases and said I did a great job. He is so sweet.
Not too much going on the rest of the week. This weekend we'll venture out to Sembawang where the US Navy hosts a huge 4th of July bash from 4-10pm, complete with fireworks and all. Should be a great time. I'm even planning on sending Matt to work with a 4th of July cake for his team and whoever else wishes to have some. His team LOVES when I bake them stuff.
Next week I start my new job with Calista. I'm kind of nervous, but excited to be stimulated!
So thats about all for now, more to come later. Hope everyone is doing well.

FACTS FOR 6-19-09
1. So glad its Friday. I cannot even begin to describe my excitement. Our stay-cation begins officially at 5pm at Morton's Steakhouse Bar for some steak sandwiches (omg, they are awesome).
2. I hope Matt starts feeling better, or else, he's going to end up sitting in a Dr's office come Monday morning. Just seems to be having too many issues with sinus/allergy stuff. Maybe he needs to learn to CONTINUE taking medicine instead of taking it until he starts to feel better. AND I MEAN BUSINESS!! (just in case you couldnt tell).
3. Had a bar night last night, neither of us felt great, didnt really bring our A-Game, but were still the best couple there. And starting to realize we are some of the youngest Americans over here. Met some interesting people. It is always fun to hear how people have managed to come over here and what they are or are not doing. And it's nice to be able to relate and share with people in similar situations.
4. Excited for a lunch date with Matt. Hopefully we get to do it today. Some days we dont meet up b/c he is busy trying to get work done. And he can get through lunch quicker instead of hour and a half he spends with me. Fingers are being crossed this morning. I am hungry for some Indonesian BBQ.
5. If you happen to read this before next week, just a little FYI, Matt lost his cell phone in a cab yesterday. So he has to have HR get him a new one. Until then, you can reach him at his work number, my cell, or either work or gmail emails.
6. Hope everyone is doing good and has a great Father's Day weekend. A special Happy Father's Day to my Daddy-o! He is truly the greatest man in the world in my eyes. And a Happy Father's day to Mr Dill, my new FIL. He has always been so nice and welcoming to me. And of course Happy Father's day to ALL of them out there.

AFTER THE FACT
So....I only realized this tonight after talking to Matt. Yesterday I went shopping, as I mentioned in Pineapple Rice. I saw this blonde girl at the mall and thought she was dressed so ridiculous. I was telling Matt she wore this floor length dress (you know the ones that are super popular...at least over here) and massive platform wedge shoes, had platinum blonde hair with really blunt cut bangs. I'm thinking, this girl looks hideous. Get rid of those blunts. She must be European. Lots of noticeable makeup too.
Reverse to Sunday evening and SingTel has this huge tent set up by the river with a huge banner that says "Are you ready to get AMPed?".....a promotion for music downloads for their cell phone users. Anyways, I saw on the news where Lady Gaga was the emcee(Sp?), star performer, whatever you want to call it. Cool. I like some of her songs. Saw all about it on the news and now we know what was going on Sunday evening.
Forward to tonight. Crap! That blonde with the blunt cut bangs shopping next to me was none other than Lady Gaga. Not that its that big of a deal, but man was I focused or what?! I didnt even notice a celebrity singer shopping next to me. Either that or I'm getting old and it is taking longer for me to put two and two together!
