Low and behold - it actually was Matthew Fox (aka Charlie) and the woman who played his girlfriend on the show.
Just something you don't come across every day. Now we just have to get him to come back and do something new with us.

Star Power
As I was doing some cleaning out of the files last week at work I came across the following picture. I glanced at it and passed it over to one of my co-workers saying, "This guy looks like Charlie from Party of Five."

My very own Mount Rushmore
In honor of President's Day, today at work we were asked to create our own Mount Rushmore and explain why we had chosen the people on it. (Yes, I work at a very silly place.) I thought I would share my creation with all of you.
From left to right:
Jon Bon Jovi - He has rocked my world since I was 6.
Harry Potter - I wish I was this cool.
Lily Deetz - She's taken over my world.
Gary Allan - I love his voice and he's hot!

Then and Now
In an effort to cheer-up my work environment I made a little change to my desktop settings today.
This used to be the picture on my desktop:
While it is very funny and makes me giggle a little everytime I see it - this one makes me smile even more:

Breaking up is hard to do
OK - so "breaking up" may be too strong of a term, but I did just call it quits with a guy I've been semi-dating for the last few months. Once the nausea from working up the nerve to tell him passes, I'm sure I'll be fine!
He's a super nice guy, we've had some good times, but ultimately the heart wants what the heart wants (or doesn't want what it doesn't want, in this case). It's been coming for awhile and it finally hit me this week while I was in Austin for work. I was telling my friend Nicole about the situation and she finally said, "I still don't get what the issue is." I began to explain again and she said, "Ingrid - you're not into him. You never bring him up. You're not excited to spend time with him or talk to him. Just end it." Ah, the truth can be hard.
Dating is just no fun sometimes. I'm not sure there's anything worse than telling someone you're just not into them. (Actually - there are lots of things that I'm quite sure are worse, but it's still a sucky feeling.)
Luckily Maverick still thinks I'm a pretty nice girl, so it'll all be just fine. :-)

Pics from Florida
Back from the Keys
I'm just back from a long weekend excursion down to Ft. Lauderdale, FL. My friend Allyson lives in Hollywood, FL so she put me and Sarah up for the weekend. We spent the weekend checking out the sites, hanging out on the beach, and just catching up. Here are some highlights (and maybe a few low-lights)....
1) The guy sitting next to Sarah and I on the plane stood up about halfway through the flight and blacked out. I immediately offered Sarah's services for CPR (which she was very happy with me for telling everyone...). There were no doctors on the plane, but there was an EMT and a dentist so between the two of them they managed to get the guy's vitals. He laid in the aisle of the plane for the rest of the trip and kept everyone excited and on their toes. He turned out to be fine - not sure why he blacked out, but he walked off the plane with the EMT (admittedly a little shakily.) Now - the best part of this story... he was on our flight home too! Sarah and I just looked at each other like, "Here we go again!" But thankfully it was an uneventful trip back.
2) There was a New York pizza stand on the beach in Hollywood and I just have to say - closest thing to the pizza we used to get back in New Jersey that I've had in years! It was awesome! That alone would have made my weekend! (I know - I'm easy to please! - there's just nothing quite like looking out over the ocean with a slice of NY style pizza!)
3) We spent Saturday and Sunday in Key Largo. Word to the wise - there aren't many beaches in Key Largo. But we had a great time in the hotel's pool and just checking out all the little shops and views. Best part - we found a little village area that had a world-famous Tiki bar and a great little beach area. We spent awhile sipping on keylime drinks and catching some rays. Worst part - the three of us discovered that glass bottom boat rides are not all that cool. It took me exactly 30 seconds to start feeling the motion-sickness set in after we went below deck to look through the glass bottom of the boat. Sarah and Allyson were about 1 minute behind me. Another word to the wise - when the sales people tell you it's going to be rough out on the water - DON'T GO!
4) And my favorite... Sunday night we were a little wiped and we decided we just wanted to go rent a movie and relax. As we were checking out at Blockbuster we had the distinct pleasure of being behind a guy who had his blue-tooth phone on and was yelling questions to the clerk about Rocky I, II, and III. He wanted to know which one was the best. He wanted to know which one Rocky works out in the most. He wanted to know which one Rocky's muscles were the biggest in... etc, etc, etc. Meanwhile he's also talking to his friend on the phone. The last question? What's the difference between the special edition and the original? Sarah looks over at him and totally deadpan says, "Rocky's way more buff in the special edition. That's the difference." His response, "Really? OK." Allyson and I couldn't stop laughing. Ah, making fun of the locals.... Maybe you had to be there, but really - there was an extreme lack of brain-power everywhere we went. Just amusing.
I'll post some pictures later....
