lime sorbet

Trying to explain to a man who speaks very broken English a color called "lime sorbet" is difficult. Initially he called asking for the description of the new colors that have been added for the 2006 Thunderbird and that we have authorized him to make. So I left him a voice mail explaining that they are: pewter metallic, dark blue pearl and lime sorbet. He called back asking "lion what?" hah. After repeating myself a few times I had to explain it to him on a different level. "Let's see...," I started, "it's lime as in citrus fruit ... lime green, and sorbet as in ice cream ... sherbet. you know, LIME SORBET!" haha. He laughed and said he got it. I'm not so sure....

How excited was I to check out Tori's official site and see that they've revamped it and have used GORGEOUS pictures of Tori for the different menu interfaces. Here are a few of my favorites:

How beautiful is SHE!? I can't wait to see her on this tour. I'm so bummed though, Trent and I can't make it out to NYC for her 92nd Y show. For starters, my bills are just way too overwhelming right now to be able to skate off on a NY trip. Also, we found out that it's just going to be an interview - no performance! Now, granted, if I had a ticket and funds to go I wouldn't have really cared! I would just be so excited to see her and to listen to her wonderful stories. But since I have neither, ticket nor money, I am not as bummed knowning that there will only be an interview. Nuts, though.

Yesterday was my follow-up to my blood work at the doctor and I got a clean bill of health! I may be hip, but i'm no hep cat! *wink* Mark and I celebrated by, well ... going home, making dinner and watching Lost, just as we had planned on doing anyways. Damn, I love that show.

Today, my Grandma is having surgery on her back. !!! She's having some pins put in her back and the surgery happens around 12:30pm. If you can remember, send some positive healing thoughts out for my Gramma.
