Best creepy 80's song ever!

On of my favorite 80's songs is 'Alone' by Heart.  I have about 4 versions of this song on my iPod, the original, Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood on 'American Idol' and Kristin Chenoweth and Matthew Morrison on 'Glee' last fall. 

It's the perfect song to belt out in your car, or shower or patio or in Target.  I like this song even more for it's creep-factor:

You don't know how long I have wanted
to touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
You don't know how long I have waited
and I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
and my love for you is still unknown
Alone
 
Yay, super creepy.  I love it!
 
See original video below from Heart from 1987.  I hope big 80's hair makes a comeback soon.
 

 

ECards from the heart

On Monday, my friend Cristy sent me a very sweet e-card.  But due to inappropriate words that are 'slang for boy parts' according to my mother, I'm not going to share it.  I will share some others I found on this site.  Check out www.someecards.com for more ridiculous cards!

Oh wait... I thought it was the other way around.  Bastard.

Riiiight.  Then we can still text and tweet and play 

Words with Friends!  Um, no.  Loser.

Ha, I don't think so scooter.  Ass.

Smellin' pretty

I buy a new perfume about once every 2 years or so.  I have to stalk my potential new scent for months before I decide to buy.  I get samples at Nordstom, I wear it around (sometimes around different cities... hello VEGAS!) and then I eventually decide if I'm ready to make the jump. 

I recently bought Michael Kors 'Very Hollywood' and apparently I'm now 'red-carpet ready,' not to mention luxurious, stunning and captivating.

Check it out at Nordstrom.
















Pretty pretty

Planning my future... by the pool of course

So I went home today for a lovely lunch courtesy of Whole Foods.  If you haven't been to the new location on Park Lane across from NorthPark Center, go!  It's fabulous!!

After I ate my lunch, I looked out the window and saw 3 girls in their bikinis laying by the pool.  This was 1:30 in the afternoon on a Monday.  Really?!  I want to be outside in my bikini in the middle of the work week.  So, I started brainstorming ways I could get out there.

The Trianon Pool

1)  Call in sick and use all my vacation days... mmm, probably not worth using the few days I do get off from work.  Especially if I unexpectedly get the Swine Flu again or something similarly tragic and have to stay in bed for a week.
2)  Marry a rich man... again, this is not very likely because of the high concentration of Dallas d-bags.  And I have the worst luck ever in that department.
3)  Build my web design skills so I can start my own company and work from home... now we're talking!

I just finished up a 4-week night class at SMU called Intro to Dreamweaver.  Dreamweaver is an Adobe design program used to build and maintain websites.  A week ago I spent my entire tax return (and then some) on a new Mac Book Pro and all the software I need to get me up and going.

Ooooh pretty!

Now my new project is to practice and develop my design skills.  I even hung out in the techie aisle at Barnes & Nobel recently and bought a Dreamweaver for Dummies book.  I was definitely the only girl in a skirt and heels hanging around that aisle. 

I'm afraid it may take me 2 years to learn all this stuff.  If anyone has any Mac or design tips, I'd love to hear them!

Cheers!

Anytime I'm having a bad day, I remember that this is what I get to sleep next to every night.  She's such a ham, she LOVED her photoshoot last week.  And how badass is Heylee's new camera??

Hey there big cat

Tiger at the Masters, Day 1.  I watched a bit of this on Sports Center during lunch.  I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I'm a golf expert, but I do like watching golf from time to time.  In fact, my favorite job ever was when I spent my summers during college as a cart girl at Coyote Ridge Golf Club.  I made some of my best friends up there, even though some weren't the best work influences... Sara. 

My dad has always told me to learn how to play golf so I can meet a husband.  See an example of a BAD husband below:

Let's play "Name that Face!"

Officer Not-So-Friendly

So the past two mornings have been quite eventful at la casa de Heylee & Kate.  A man has been banging on our door, for about 5 minutes each time at 8:45 a.m. yesterday and starting at 6:45 a.m. today.  He was in plain clothes but had a badge around his neck and paperwork in his hands.  We didn't answer either time... I know I know, we are chickens.  But Uptown can be scary!  Two years ago there was a string of burglaries and hold-up all over Uptown especially at some of the nicer locations.

This man was arrested last year in connection to the burglaries and also a 1988 sexual assault.  Earlier this week a young woman was attacked in broad daylight when a man jumped into her car in the State Thomas neighborhood.  He hit her and stabbed her once and then fled with $40 from her wallet. 


Back to my story, we didn't answer the door either morning and the man eventually left.  But, when I walked out of the apartment this morning, he was standing in the hall waiting for me.  I quickly locked the door behind me and turned to say 'you scared me!'  He replied, 'i scared you, huh?'

My entire life briefly passed in front of my eyes.  Who will take the Kate Escape 2?  What if I never see all my friends get married this year?  What if I miss Patty's bday dinner part 2 at Houston's on Saturday?  Who will take care of Piper!?

I held it together though.  Turns out he was a detective looking for an Ashley M-something.  He had paperwork to give her about a traffic accident.  I told him to check with the office since I've lived in my apt for over a year.  He left, probably super annoyed, but I felt much better knowing we didn't have some creepasaurous rex trying to break in our apartment.  (Yes, I even cruised the baseball bat aisle yesterday in Target afternoon.)

In any case, I just wanted to remind everyone that summertime can be a little scary and people get desperate, especially in this economy.

And if your name is Ashley M-something.  Watch out, the detective is coming for you.

NOT on my "diet"

I don't think this is on my "Going to California in 2 Weeks" diet.  I had an "I'll have what she's having" moment at my Starbucks today.  This is a mocha frappaccino.  It was about half whipped cream... I couldn't finish it, but it did make my morning brighter.

You have boyfriend!?

So after work last Thursday I stalked my normal nail place Beverly Hills Nails and could not find a spot to park anywhere.  Apparently everyone and their sister's uncle's cat was out at happy hour that day and Uptown was packed. 

I set off to find a new place for a mani/pedi and ended up on Oak Lawn at Candle Nail Salon.  My girl Avi was awesome and did my nails real nice. 

Are they serious with this sign!?

Color of the week is O.P.I. Black Oynx.

If you know me, you know I'm the most p.c. person ever (almost) but this video kills me every time I see it.

Check it out!

Song o' the day!

This song makes me happy.  It's also makes me excited about my 3 day weekend! 

There's no 'official' music video, so this is the best I could find.
