			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>So, Sunday after a SPECTACULAR church service, my friend <a href="http://www.myspace.com/emmacrat" title="Homegirl" target="_blank">Emma</a> and I jumped in the car and headed for Miami. It&#8217;s about a 4 hour drive. The reason, you ask? <a href="http://www.myspace.com/mikamyspace" title="So dreamy." target="_blank">MIKA</a>! The hottest new artist to not quite yet blow up in the United States! Seriously, if you&#8217;re sick of cookie cutter music on the radio, and you like happy music loaded with hidden meanings and thoughts about life, you&#8217;ll love Mika. We had a marvelous time at the concert&#8230;<a href="http://www.studioamiami.com" title="Shake your booty." target="_blank">the venue</a> was gorgeous. We were literally like 2 feet from the stage. Mika really performed his tush off (I have pics to prove it) and we were all covered in sweat and danced-out by the time we left. AND we had porn-star parking (pardon the expression) right outside the doors, so it was pretty much the best night I could&#8217;ve asked for. Here are pictures!</p>
<p><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f153/lovedaloca/STA71562.jpg" align="left" height="480" width="640" /> <img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f153/lovedaloca/STA71553.jpg" align="left" height="480" width="640" /><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f153/lovedaloca/STA71572.jpg" align="middle" height="480" width="640" /></p>
<p>Back to the <a href="http://www.jeanswelcome.com" title="We &lt;3 Jesus." target="_blank">church</a> service&#8230;check out the 11 AM crowd&#8230;they were really into the worship. <img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f153/lovedaloca/STA71543.jpg" align="left" height="480" width="640" /></p>
<p>Basically, it was a great day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>I just got an e-mail from <a href="http://www.devilspice.com/Devil.gif" target="_blank">Lakeland Electric</a>&#8230;.is anyone else&#8217;s electric bill going up like CRAZY?! I mean, I knew it was coming, but sheesh. Double sheesh, even. I think it&#8217;s ridiculous. I&#8217;m so flabbergasted that I couldn&#8217;t spell ridiculous. It took me 3 attempts and a spell check to get it right.</p>
<p>Our economy is so screwed up right now. I&#8217;m not just whining about my situation&#8230;all of my friends are in the same boat. We have college degrees and full time jobs, but we still can&#8217;t afford to support ourselves. It&#8217;s just frustrating. Or challenging, I guess.  Maybe we are just bad with money and I&#8217;m in <a href="http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/entertainment/2007-04/20/xin_12040420200409162142.jpg" target="_blank">denial</a>. Maybe I&#8217;m just being dramatic.<br />
Anyone else feeling the heat?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Testing testing 1-2-3&#8230;</p>
<p>My boss suggested that I jump on the blog bandwagon, so here I am.<br />
Actually, I&#8217;ve been &#8220;here&#8221; for quite some time&#8230;on the wagon, I mean. I&#8217;ve been blogging on <a href="http://www.myspace.com/lovedaloca">myspace</a> for almost 2 years. But, as <a href="http://www.timmcollins.com">my boss</a> put it, &#8220;No one takes you seriously on myspace.&#8221; So I decided to move up to a big girl blog site. Thank you wordpress.</p>
<p>That being said, I thought I&#8217;d tell you a little bit about my morning.</p>
<p>My husband works for a grocery store (where shopping is a pleasure) and<br />
sometimes he comes home with some very weird things. Like koala yummies. Remember those from back in the day? The little cookie koalas with a cream filling.</p>
<p>Well they&#8217;re back, and he got so excited when he saw them that he bought a box and brought them home&#8230;but he bought strawberry. Can you say GROSS? We both hate them.</p>
<p>So my dear friend <a href="http://www.myspace.com/emmacrat">Emma</a> came over last night and I fed her some koala yummies and she liked them. I made her take them home. I said, &#8221; I don&#8217;t care what you do with them, just get them out of my apartment.&#8221;</p>
<p>She took them and left.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;m leaving to go to work this morning: I grab my stuff, kiss <a href="http://www.myspace.com/mmonts123">Mike</a>, open the door and:</p>
<p><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f153/lovedaloca/STA71499.jpg" /></p>
<p><img src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f153/lovedaloca/STA71501.jpg" /></p>
<p>Oh what a beautiful morning.</p>
