Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

Just in case you missed it, here’s a clip from the Victoria’s Secret fashion show on CBS. Enchanted Forest was my favorite segment.

Does anyone know what this song is?

Nevermind. I got it. It’s “The Man Who Can’t be Moved” by The Script.

Brian’s Visit with the Eye Doctor

Posted on December 12, 2009 by under Health, Life.    

I went to the eye doctor with Brian yesterday. Here he is filling out paperwork.

It was our first visit there so there were a ton of papers to complete. I think we will go there from now on because it’s so close to both of our workplaces.

Brian’s eyes were dilated so they gave him these paper shades.

They actually stay on your head pretty well.

The eye doctor said that Brian’s eye is fine. Thank heavens! I guess it just needs a few days to heal. Now I’m wondering if I should get my skull checked. The dent from when Brian hit my head over a week ago is still there. It might never pop back out. I think my head is permanently deformed. Who would have thought that such a hardheaded person like myself would have a soft skull? LOL.

Protective Eyewear is Recommended

When playing racquetball, protective eyewear is not only recommended (see #3) — it is a must. Just ask Brian. LOL.

Darcy’s Swanky New Pad

Posted on December 9, 2009 by under Life.    

Darcy's new place at Rumley

Darcy went to pick up the key to her apartment today. Since it is only two minutes from work, we decided to stop by. She had shown be pictures of the unit, but the pictures don’t really do the place justice. The loft is amazing!

The kitchen is completely open and has granite counters. There aren’t a lot of cabinets along the wall, but her pantry is enormous. I think the loft pantry is bigger than the pantry at her old house.

Every inch of the 2000 sq ft space is amazing. Darcy lucked out and got a unit with hardwood floors instead of polished concrete. I think the only thing I didn’t like was that the bedroom is open – meaning no door.

There’s a short hallway that you walk through and then there it is. I’d definitely need a door to hide my mess from everyone. LOL.

security monitor

Believe it or not, my favorite feature is not the jetted tub in her master bath, the huge pantry, the amazing view (you can see both the BOA and Epic Center buildings from her apartment), the rooftop access (with outdoor hot tub), the granite counters in the kitchen and bathrooms, although all of these things are great. My favorite feature is the security monitor that shows the hallway, parking garage, elevator, and lobby. I think that’s what Brian and I got most excited about when Darcy first described her new place to us. What can I say? We are nerds.

Anyway, I am so excited for Darcy. She moves in to the ultimate bachelorette pad this weekend. I can’t wait to see how she decks out the place. From all of the things that she has shown and told me, it sounds like it will be really swanky!

Time to Buy Some Goggles

Posted on December 8, 2009 by under Health.    

This is how Brian’s eye looked after he had a run-in with the power of Bruce.

We were all really worried about Brian. One of the YMCA reps actually filed an incident report. I was wondering if I needed to take him to the hospital or at the very least maybe convince him to stay home tomorrow. He said he was fine, though.

He was like, “My boss got hit in the eye with a hockey puck and showed up to work the next day. If I tell him I’m not able to show up to work because I got hit in the eye with a racquetball, he’s going to call me a wuss.” Good point. No one wants to seem like a wuss. No one I know, anyway.

Brian hit my head with the racket on Sunday and I was too proud to admit that it bothered me. I wanted to keep playing and so we did. We finished three games. It was Monday night before I even admitted to Brian that my head still hurts. The bump is still there and tender to the touch.

I’m just thankful that it was Brian who hit my head and not Jay. I think that if Jay did it, Bruce would have done quite a number on me and my head might have needed some stitches.

I think Brian’s eye will be fine. It looked horrible at first, but it’s not so red anymore. I was afraid he’d have a black eye tomorrow, but I don’t think it will even be that bad. Definitely going to stop and buy some racquetball goggles before we play racquetball again, though.
