Ok so RENT is coming to the Bob Carr Performing Arts Theatre. I am SO excited! I am thinking of going February 10 @ 2:00 p.m. Anyone interested? Cheap tickets are $30. Let me know!

So I am having office chair issues. For about 3 weeks it has not been working properly. It tilts to one side. Now, as of today, it just randomly slides the height setting down all the way until I feel like I am sitting on the floor. When this happens I look like a midget and I can barely see over my desk. I have ordered a new one and it comes tomorrow but until then I get to play the ride the office chair game. UGH!!

A little church humor for ya!

Story of customer service at it's greatest...

Today is the last day of wireless coverage for all the pastoral staff at UPC. Tanya has been on the phone with Cingular Wireless trying to get plans canceled and other things changed. The woman she was talking with told her that she could not cancel plans because the account is held by Mark Bates. So Tanya told her to call Mark on his cellphone (account held with Cingular) and get approval. About 3 minutes pass by...
My phone rings... "Hello University Presbyterian this is Lindsey"
Cingular rep - "Mark Bates please"
Me - "Ummm..he is not in the office today can I help you?"
Cingular rep- "Well this is ____ from Cingular and I am trying to verify some account information with him"
Me - "I just heard my co-worker tell you to call Mark on his cell phone did you try that?"
Cingular rep - "No I didn't. Can I get that #?"
Me - "Ummm...I am pretty sure you should have it since you are the wireless provider"
Cingular rep - "You think so?" (and totally serious when she said this)
Me - "Yeah I am sure!"

a few seconds go by...

Cingular rep - "Oh yeah I do have it. I will call him right now. Thanks!"

I have to say that customer service ain't what it used to be! :-)

Ok so I got some GREAT new DVD's for Christmas and I just thought I would share...

My Fair Lady
Clue
An Affair To Remember
Pretty In Pink
Mary Poppins
Veronica Mars (season 1)
Veronica Mars (season 2)

If you know me at all then you know that I LOVE movies! I have quite an extensive collection. I actually had to create more space in which to store my DVD's. :-)

Family Christmas Picture

Ok so I went to see the movie The Holiday the other night with my good friend Karin. It is totally GREAT movie. While watcing I realized that I am totally Iris. Kate Winslet playes this character named Iris who is in love with this guy who says he wants her while it is convenient for him. It was amazing to see someone else go through the same issues I have. It was so eye opening because until I came to the realization that I do the same thing I was mad at her for letting herself get walked all over. Then it hit me like a lightening bolt! I do the same thing. I find someone I am attracted to. Then I do everything possible to make them want to be with me. How this logic works in my mind I am not sure. I love when Iris suddenly realizes how Jasper is treating her and he that he will never change. I wanted to yell GO GIRL! :-)

If you have not seen this movie... DO! It is really cute!

Pretty much my favorite holiday treat is something called Kringle. It is a Danish pastry. It used to be something that my Great Grandma Kemnintz would order and mail to us. Now that she is gone we order it every year from http://www.ohdanishbakery.com/ and eat it Christmas morning before we open presents. If you have never tried it I higly reccomend it. Trust me people this blows Panera pastry out of the water! I think a big part of it is the memories for me but still it is good eats. ENJOY!

Can I just say how annoyed and frustrated I am with the United States Post Office? UGH! So this is what happened. I went on Monday of last week to check our mail. In the box was a notice that our box got to full. Because it has gotten to full they had taken our mail back to the post office. Now mind you it had only been 4 days since I had checked it. Last week was the week from hell at work so I just couldn't go. I called yesterday and asked what I needed to do to get our mail. The lady told me just come to the post office in Oviedo with my drivers license. So today I take off work, drive over there, and try to pick up my mail. The lady who comes out from behind the blue door precedes to tell me that I can't pick up my mail. It is at another location and I have to come back! What the @$%#! So now I have to take more time off work this afternoon to go back to the post office in DOWN TOWN OVIEDO to get my freaking mail! UGH!! Annoyed = me!

I got flowers today! They are very similar to the ones pictured here. Feel free to be jealous! My boss is good to me!!

What constitutes a fun Thursday night in my book? Well let me just tell you...
-babysitting for 2 hours and getting paid for 3
-a peppermint mocha frapachino from Starbucks
-good conversation with a good friend (thanks Karin)
-home, pj's, bed

I was actually dreading last night and it turned out SO fun!

So I checked out the new show My Boys on TBS last night. It was really cute! I really like Kyle Howard who is the one on the top right of the pic in the red shirt. He was in a show on the former WB called Related. Anways, the show was fun and funny. I liked how akward and honest it was. Specifically when she, PJ, tried to talk in code to Bobby about them having a relationship. She is using all of these metaphors and he is taking her literally. It was hysterical! Check it out if you are up late on a Tuesday night. For us Veronica Mars watchers it works out perfectly because it comes on right after.

Over the holiday weekend I enjoyed some good

TV Christmas movies. TBS had Serindipidy on their Movie & Makeover series. I like that show because not only do you get a fun movie but they give you helpful hints during the makeover. This time they featured fun Chrismas gifts. My personal favorite was this...

Basically the idea is personalized bath stuff! Check it out at http://store.notsoapradioshop.com/say-it-with-suds.html

You may be wondering what are the ingredients to a GREAT weekend at the beach? Well let me just tell you..
A beautiful condo + awesome friends + games + relaxation + the ocean (or Intercoastal Waterway) + gorgeous weather = A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!! I am so glad that we got to go. I came back feeling 100% relaxed and ready for my 3 day work week. :-)

I am heading off to New Smyrna Beach this weekend with some friends and I can't wait!! My Aunt has a condo there that she is letting us stay at for the weekend. It will probably be chilly but still a GREAT weekend to get away and enjoy the beauty of FL. 2 days and counting...

My new favorite thing is a place called Lets Eat! It is the best discovery I have made in a while. Basically what you do is go to this place and prepare meals for a month in their kitchen. The concept is that they provide all the ingredients, for a price, and then you package them to put in the freezer. It cost me $180 to make meals for a MONTH!! With some of them that includes lunch and dinner. I am having pork chops for lunch today. Let me just say that it TOTALLY beats fast food!!

Now you take it!!...

Yes ladies and gentlemen I VOTED! I went to Tuskawilla Presbyterian at the butt crack of dawn and took care of business. Now I am proudly wearing my sticker. The last time I voted I mailed my ballot in and therefore I didn't get the sticker. I am pretty excited to have it this time. That way people don't ask you ALL DAY LONG...Did you vote? Now they can just see! I hope all of you will too! Maybe UPC is your polling place. If it is then stop on in and say hi!

As a native of Orlando this makes me really sad!
