Yep, you've read it correctly. Hardin will be in Ohio until this Friday, leaving me here on the Island 500 miles away. I should stop whinning, but hey, we're newlyweds and I just want his face to be the first one I see when I get off work, not the face of the shithole neighbor. If I can handle four months, four days should be a piece of cake, right?!

I have the day off today. While this is fun and exciting, I just feel like a bum. I have a ton to do, but I can't help laying around in my sweats. I'm blaming it on my smoking relapse that happened yesterday. My husband's friend tempted me with camels and I gave in...AHH!! I smoked two cigarettes and I feel so gross. At least now I know how nasty smoking really is for my body. I feel lethargic and gross....or maybe I just need a shower. Happy Blogging and happy President's Day...

I turned on the TV this afternoon to find a new add for JC Penney. It revolved around Valentine's Day, having presents falling out of red balloons. The 80s hit 99 Luftballons ( english translation: 99 red balloons) by German singer Nena was playing in the back ground of the commercial. DID THEY NOT RESEARCH THE MEANING OF THE SONG?! Nena wrote the song as a nuclear war protest. Red balloons were used to signal nuclear attack....and now JC Penney is using it as a cute little catch phra...

Today I explored Long Island for the first time....It's like Northeast Ohio, only faster. Decided to grab a slice for dinner. I love pizza....I think i could eat it every day. Long Island has better pizza than Ohio.... I've had short hair most of my life. I'm currently letting it grow. It's a couple inches past my shoulders. My husband would be pissed if I decided to get it chopped. My niece can't say my full name. She calls me Al, but it comes out like, "owl".....kids are ...

Before there was Cindy, Naomi, and Miss Tyra herself; there was Gia. Gia Carangi came onto the modeling scene in the late 70s. With her dark hair and exotic features in a world full of toothpick blondes, Gia became the world's top model all in a New York Minute. As fast as her rise to the top happened, her demise had started all with a needle. Sadly enough, Gia Carangi Died of AIDS at 26. Today would have been her 45th birthday.

Gwen Stefani is best known as the spunky platinum blonde frontwoman of the popular bubblegum ska band No Doubt. To get the role of Gene Harlow in the Academy Award Nominated Motion picture The Aviator, Gwen Stefani admits that she crash dieted to squeeze into the tiny constumes. First of all there were no multiple costumes...just one. Her total airtime in the movie was about 90 seconds. She had exactly one line....and she starved herself for this. Gwen Stefani at most (pre starvation ...
