thanksgiving, do we even gotta question...

...hermes pastel, i pass the dressing.

yes those are kanye west lyrics and no i don't care. ha! special thanks to carrie for inspiring today's post title. and since we're all in a thankful mood, let me do my share by handing a few of these out...


{go on, take one, it's for you}

i consider myself a lucky girl...not literally, you won't see me winning the lottery anytime soon...but really, i'm happy, healthy, sane (most of the times) and loved. despite the hardships in my life, i've never been happier and i have a lot to thank for that but instead of listing everything (because that could take days), let me just focus on the most important...

♥DG.
duh! my best friend. my love. my everything.

{people can't help but envy us}

♥la familia.
not just any family...my family. i'm going to miss them this year but oh believe i will be over the day after thanksgiving for some leftover turkey sandwiches. mmhmm...it's tradition.

{we may not have it all together but together we have it all}

♥nuggets.
they say your life is changed when you have kids, i say your life is changed when you have bulldogs. love these guys more than i love loubies, and that is saying a lot.

{you light up my life}

♥food.
what's a thanksgiving without grub?! i'm most looking forward to dave's mom's portuguese stuffing. num num num...

{funny thing is i don't even like turkey}

♥bar crawl.
every year my little town has a bar crawl the day before thanksgiving. it's like the event of the year and it all starts tonight.

{grab your cups, let's go!}

♥you and you and especially YOU.
for reading my daily randoms...for always making me laugh...for saying the things that make my heart smile...and for being some of the greatest friends ever.

{blogger has to be the best matchmaker}

i'm off for the rest of the week. i doubt i will post until monday. so until then...

wishing you and your loved ones a happy thanksgiving!

tuesday's gone with the wind

let me just say, ya’ll are the best readers ever! your comments yesterday had me rollin! thanks for playing along. i’m pretty sure i had most people saying “having said that” all day which pleases me greatly. having said that, i’m done with the phrase for now. it’s just so yesterday…

and i know, i know...you’re all dying to see the hair. i hate to burst your bubble but it’s really not that different. i mean, it’s definitely shinier (thanks to the moroccan oils, oh yea!) and prettier than before but because i stick with dark hair, you really don't notice a difference unless you see me in person. but because i adore you all so much, here's a little teaser to entertain the masses.


{so shiny and new}

side note: the camera and i were not having a good day and that lit-rilly was the best pic out of the bunch.

in other news, it’s thanksgiving this thursday! yeyeyea! for the first time everrr, i’m spending the holiday away from my family. kinda bummed about that but the decision comes from a change in location. normally, we celebrate at my aunt’s house but this year it's at my cousin’s new house in lincoln…friggen 2 hours away!!! and in holiday traffic, more like 3 hours! i’ve never even heard of lincoln!!! as you can tell, i'm bitter and not a fan of changing traditions. the thought of being on the road for 5-6 hours total is not my idea of fun. so instead, we’re going to dave’s family’s for thanksgiving. i’m sure it'll be good times. more kids different, but fun.

with that, i'm in need of a good thanksgiving outfit. i bought this green skirt the other day...


{via H&M}

doesn't it scream holiday fun?! haha. okay, maybe not but it's super cute. i just need some inspiration. that's where these lovely ladies come in.


{photo via lookbook...ps. not feeling the top}

{photo via lookbook}

i'll be like the girl in the green scarf (from confessions of a shopaholic) but the girl in the green skirt!

yes...i'm that corny.

xoxo

having said that...

did anyone watch last night’s finale of curb your enthusiasm? hilarious! it wasn’t quite as funny as last week but, having said that, i was loving the new catch phrase. so be warned, if i comment on your post today i plan on utilizing this phrase a little or a lot. it’s like my new thing…


{do you respect wood?}

as for my weekend…fairly uneventful. didn’t do much but sleep, eat and run. i blame the midnight showing of new moon for disrupting my regularly scheduled weekend programming. having said that, i don’t, for a second, regret standing in lining for 2 hours to see my vampire boyfriend do his thing. nope not at all.

despite the lack of excitement this weekend, i did enjoy my sunday in sacramento where i got my hair did and caught up with my good friend holly. this lady is amazing and although she's been hit with a lot of baby mama drama for your mama’s mama these days, she’s still the most positive, real lady i know. love her like crazy and thanks to her i now have hair like fergie.


{so delicious, i’m fergalicious}

having said that, let's hope fergie hair doesn't lead to cheating boyfriends, just sayin...

speaking of fergie, did anyone watch the AMA's? and did anyone notice something missing? like j.lo’s ass! no really, where’d it go?! apparently she fell during her performance and i’m pretty certain her lack of rear made for a harsh fall. ouch. it still doesn’t excuse her crap song. i mean, i’m all for rockin loubs and looking fierce but an entire song devoted to shoes is a little much, dontchathink? having said that, it was a very j.lo performance.



anyway, hope you all had a great weekend! mondays blow but short weeks rock my world. having said that…

happy monday lovers!

xoxo


ps. i'm notsomuch a fan of guest posting, stresses me out like whoa. having said that, i'm guest posting at my girl morgan's blog...check it out HERE. thanksomucho!

it's always been him

what? over already?! but i want more!!! GIMME MORE!!!


{beware of my nostril flares}

no i'm not talking about the work week...i'm talking NEW MOON! yeeeeeee!!! where do i begin?! first of all, LURVED IT! got mad love for this film yo. amazing special effects. serious eye candy for the pale and tan lovers. and even dave was into it. yup, you'll be happy to know that he is now rooting for team jacob (do i sense a little edward jealousy?). i don't blame him. jacob is a fun kid. but he's just that...a kid. i need a man and edward is my man.


{i wear it proud}

i know a bunch of you will be seeing new moon tonight so i won't give anything away. but be prepared for screams. i went to a theatre in the hood so all the ghetto girls were screaming for the brown boy (jacob)...especially during his ripped abs scenes. not gonna lie, the kid did look pretty good without his shirt but then so did edward...


{look how he sparkles}

suh-woooooon!!!

alright, alright...i'll stop for now. don't have much else to say since i'm going on four hours of sleep here so uh yea...a little delirious but whatev. have yourself a fabulous weekend and i'll catch ya on the flip side.

peace out homies!

xoxo

time passes even when it seems impossible

tonight is the night…
and i have one thing on my mind. it’s cold, dead and somewhat thirsty…


{what if i'm not the hero what if i'm the bad guy ~edward}

helloooooooo edward...
oh yea!!! give me some of that fine piece of vampire bum, mmhmm. i’m ready!!!

i cannot began to tell you how excited i am to see this movie tonight. it hit me hard last night while watching previews...i kept turning to dave, squeezing his arms saying "are you ready? are you so excited?!? NEW MOON!!!" of course he could care less but me…BWAHHHHHH!!!!! friggen cannot wait! CANNOT! i mean seriously...how am i supposed to concentrate on anything but this…


{bella is the luckiest bitch ever}


{i wonder if the badger colony could take this wolf pack}


{the next chapter begins}

it’s funny, i totally remember when twilight first hit theatres. at the time, i hadn't yet read the books so obviously i didn't get the craze. but now that i have...let's just say, if you need me tonight, i'll be in my team edward t-shirt eagerly waiting with the rest of the twitards to see the movie of the year...NEW MOON!

to all you team jacob fans...you can have your dog. i’ll take my dead guy.


{when a man looks at you like that...you know he wants more than just your blood}

TWITARDS UNITE!!!

harajuku girls got the wicked style

i’m feeling pretty snazzy today.

yesterday, during my lunch, i made a quick trip to H&M where i was thoroughly unimpressed with the jimmy choo collection. as expected, the shoes were all gone except for some gawd awful ones that looked like bedazzled men’s shoes, goo! i tried on a dress but that was a disaster. it was the most hideous looking thing i’ve ever seen on. the label said small but i swear i was swimming in fabric. clearly, this wasn’t my H&M day.

after being asked by a man with the thickest dutch accent where he can check out (huh?) and having some chick growl at me while trying on furry gloves (true story), i left H&M bagless and decided to head on over to DSW. that’s where i found these…


{offering the perfect amount of toe cleavage}

snazzy, right? i think so. i'm walking 4 inches taller today and that always puts me in a good mood. as do awards…

i know, i know, you probably couldn’t tell since i never do award posts. gotta be honest, i’m way behind and it’s not that i’m not grateful because i totally am, check out my sidebar, it’s just the idea of having to do an award post makes me cringe. what?! it’s a lot of work man! but since i was awarded not once but three times with this sugary sweet award…


{from mag, lindsey and michely…thanks loves}

…i thought i’d play along for once. rules are…list 10 random facts about yourself. not so original but here we go…

1. morgan freeman is my hero. i love everything about him, especially his voice. if he read me bedtime stories every night, i’d die happy.
2. i have a weird obsession with serial killers and murder mysteries.
3. i didn't lose my two front teeth naturally. they were knocked out by a boy in preschool who pushed me over. little shit.
4. i’m super impatient.
5. i’m the only person in my family who doesn’t speak spanish.
6. my handwriting is heinous. it used to be so pretty, not sure what happened.
7. i’m a strong supporter of gay rights. i will never understand the hate. and spare me with religion talk…that excuse gets old.
8. harriet tubman is my homegirl.
9. i wear UGGs and i don't care if you think they're ugly. i'm the one walking around with warm toesies and you're not!
10. i now see why i don’t do award posts. coming up with 10 things sucks ass!

but since everyone likes awards, i will pass this on to...

happy hump day!

girls come and go but true friends last forever

there was a time in my life when girl friends came first…before boys, before family, before me. i would do anything for my friends. in my eyes, they were my world and therefore i was a damn good friend. the kind of friend who would make picture collages just because. the friend who always made sure to buy gifts and cards for christmas and birthdays. the friend who would fight if it meant having my friend’s back. i was that friend…until those same “friends” broke my heart.



girls can be deceiving, malicious, bitchy, jealous and if you’re like me then you’ve already learned the hard way. we can complain about it and wonder why we don’t have more girl friends but the fact is there will always be girls like that, no matter how old we get. so do we continue to bitch about it or learn from it?

these days, i’ll admit i’m a hard person to get to know. i let very few people in. i trust little. i cannot handle bullshit. if the friendship is one sided, i’m out! super needy friends make me vomit. crazies don’t have a place in my life. i like competition but not amongst friends (unless we’re playing mario kart, then it’s on). i hate liars and yes i judge.

sounds harsh, i know, but being this way protects my heart and allows me to eliminate those that fake the funk while holding on to the ones that matter. in the end, it's all about the friendships that will last forever...forever friends...even if it’s a select few.

real friends are better than more friends.


{and just so you know, i’m a damn good forever friend}

xoxo


{in dedication to the ladies of my life with current girl friend troubles}

shock me, shock me, shock me with that deviant behavior

dude. monday’s really need to stop coming so fast…that’s what she said. OHHH!!! sorry couldn’t resist.

but for the first time, i’m not grumpy and i think i know why…

in less than four days, i will be lined up (along with a million screaming girls that i may or may not want to strangle and/or punch in the face) with my lovah dave for the premiere of new moon. bwaaaahhhhh!!!! the giddiness has taken over. i don’t think dave knows what he’s gotten himself into so changing the topic now…

my weekend was fun. wore my OTKs but sorry no pics. next time, k?


{keep calm and carry on}

friday was spent eating sushi and sake bombing with dave and his friend, danny. this guy is pure entertainment. he not only high fived the waitress, he high fived every single person in the restaurant.


{the david and danny show}

'course we couldn’t go to our sushi spot without experiencing the infamous wasabi freezes. i always get a kick out of photographing the reactions. {note: wasabi freezes are slices of cucumber topped with pure wasabi relish}


{wasabi freezes}

after dinner, we met up with friends at one of the divest of dive bars. to give you an idea, the place is filled with animal heads mounted on the wall and awkward photos like this one. yowza!


{before there was AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com, there was this}

saturday, instead of dealing with the H&M choo madness, i went next door to ikea where i picked up a few things including this new bulldog. did i need it? nah. but look how cute he is.


{meet bubbles}

saturday was fight night. the highly anticipated pacquiao vs. cotto fight and what a fight it was. little pac-man destroyed cotto but not before cotto shook him up a bit. in the first few rounds, cotto was hitting hard but the pac-attack soon took over…


{the filipino jesus vs. the pride of puerto rico}

and left cotto looking like this. eek. despite it, cotto kept on fighting, swollen face and all. you gotta give it to him, the man has heart.


{ay dios mio}

finally sunday was spent running, shopping and laying on the couch. big thanks to nordstrom for providing me with such fabulous new moon shwag.


{hi i'm 16 again}

how was your weekend? details please :)

pimp my hands

i can’t believe no one’s mentioned it yet…


{dum dum dum!!!}

happy friday the 13th!!! don’t worry no one’s getting murdered today…at least not that i know of....eek, this just got real morbid real quick…

ANYWAY, today’s morning temp…41! whaaaattt! yea dude, it’s officially starting to feel like winter. the holiday season is rapidly approaching. and while i’ve been hesitant to admit it, i’m now getting excited. christmas is only six weeks away! six weeks! holy fatty st. nicholas! this means i have six weeks to to tell everyone exactly what i want. ay yo!

now i’ve been told that i’m one of the hardest people to buy for. well i don’t really think so but i guess i see their point. i tend to buy myself everything i want so by the time christmas rolls around, i’m pretty much set. this year, i’ll make life a little easier by posting the things i want but won’t haul ass to buy.

for instance, see these hands, see how pimped out they are? yea that’s what i want. no not their hands (though that would be nice, have you seen my man hands?), their hand jewelry.














{all photos via we heart it}

here are some rings and things to help pimp my hands. prices range from cheap to a tad costly. never ridiculous 'cause that’s not how i roll.

in other news, i’m ready to hit this weekend running. tonight, dinner and drinks and then who knows what the night has in store. i’m ready to rock out with my cock OTK’s out, like whoa! who’s with me?!

happy weekend lovers!

xoxo

i try really hard actually

hate to break it to you but i’m not as cool as i may seem. by now you’ve seen the hip, badass side of me being brutally honest, rebelling against the norm, breaking rules and talking a crapload of smack. but what i have yet to expose mention about myself is this little lady with the OTK boots (yes i bought them, yes i love them) comes with a side of nerd. yup, nerd alert right here ya’ll and i think it’s about time you knew…


{embrace the nerd in you}
i am the biggest klutz. i trip, i fall, i spill, i bump into everything, i kick my own feet and when i eat i get crumbs all over the place.

i went to band camp. it was horrible. i think i wrote my mom 3 times begging her to come get me. i played the clarinet but i sucked. during the end of camp concert, i faked my performance.


{one time at band camp...}
i love celine dion. yes, she’s weird, married a man old enough to be her father and lets her son look like a girl, but her music rocks and i will play that shit on full blast. best believe power of love is on ipod repeat.


{i like a girl with passion}
i love science. my major in college was (are you ready for this?) biological sciences with an emphasis in neurobiology, physiology and behavior. my favorite course was human anatomy. lab included dissecting human parts and holding brains. my one time dream job was to be a forensic scientist.


{banana's anatomy}
i'm obsessed with musicals and soundtracks. i rarely buy CDs now but when i did it was almost always a soundtrack. i've been known to roll through town listening to phantom of the opera.

i wasn’t in the cool group in high school. i was that bitter new girl who hated everyone. while i eventually made friends with some awesome chicks, i was never considered popular. in the end, i think that was a good thing since the popular chicks has ridic names like autumn and taffee.

i bought my new moon tickets for the midnight showing as soon as it was feasible. who cares that i’ll probably be the oldest person there and that i may or may not dress like a vampire to show my undying support for team edward.


{move biatch, you're in my spot}
there you have it. i’m a nerd and i love it!

xoxo

not just for the corner no more

i have no legs…
no really i don’t. sadly, its a trait i’ve had to endure all my life and a phrase i commonly say and/or sing (you remember kids, right?). swear! it’s like one day my legs decided to stop growing during my adolescent years and have since remained this pitiful height just to torture me. you don’t know how much i long for someone to call me "legs" or praise me for having nice stems. unfortunately, that will never happen. instead, i will forever get the “do you play soccer?” question which in other words means “why are your legs so damn short and stocky?”

because of this lack of leg longevity, if you will, you can understand my initial fear of over the knee boots. let’s be honest, most of them are taller than me! but all that changed and i’m proud to announce that i have succumbed to this hookerish trend and now desire letting my pretty woman out. what changed, you ask? why seeing this in my lucky mag, of course…



tell me that’s not a fabulous look! i love everything about it. but it’s those boots i swoon over most. this led me to seek over the knee inspiration and below is what i found. granted most of these gals have serena van der woodsen legs but we’ll ignore that fact for now.

what’s your take on this trend? eh notsomuch or gimme, gimme, gimme more?

let me upgrade you

i don’t cook so i’m not sure why i care but i’m sick of my kitchen. it’s in need of an upgrade, specifically the oak cabinets. to me, they look country and i’m so not country. love a good country song though, yessiree.


{my pre-tiled kitchen}

don’t be fooled. my kitchen only looks somewhat big in this picture. in reality, it’s teeny tiny. initially, i had big plans to stain the cabinets but now i’m not feeling it so much. the country grain would show through and that’s what i don’t want. so now i’m thinking a good paint job would do the trick. and after seeing this before and after…

ew...


paint does a kitchen good...

{photos via design*sponge}

…i’m super inspired. dave, on the other hand, could care less. painting the cabinets would mean work for him. in my dreams, i’d get new cabinets all together but until then let me gush over these fabulous kitchen looks.

love the gray cabinets against stainless steel.

{photo via desire to inspire}

i envy those ballsy enough to paint their cabinets a bright color. someday...

{photo via Canadian House & Home}

i'm loving chalkboard in the kitchen. check out that fridge.

{photo via design*sponge}

you can’t go wrong with white cabinets. kinda leaning towards this look.

{photo via Canadian House & Home}

industrial is where it's at.

{photo via desire to inspire}

in other news...if you followed me way back when, you’ll be happy to know that i finally found a faux fur throw for my m chair (aka my brown leather chair). $17 at costco. what a deal! suck on that pottery barn, trying to sell similar ones for $159. craziness.


{feels like a teddy bear snuggling with you}

xoxo

i get stoopid, i mean outrageous

mmm free soy latte…not a bad way to start the week, eh?
i have to admit i don’t drink starbucks. i mean i do if i have to but most of the time it’s peet’s or tully’s, must be an SF thing. luckily, tully’s knows how to appreciate their customers by giving freebies to frequent buyers like myself. gotta love that...especially on super cold days like today. it was freezing balls this morning @ 43 degrees! my skirt and tights are just not doing it for me. oh well, at least i feel cute. HA! anywho...

it's weekend update time!
so i didn’t do much...i did but i didn’t.

got droided…
friday was the release of verizon’s new smart phone, the droid, and guess who got one...ME! yup, went on my lunch break and waited a good 30 minutes to get help. while i waited, i met a middle aged man named john who complimented my shoes and bag, told me he used to carry a wallet for 4o years, now can’t live without his manbag (MURSE! bwah!), was married for 7 years, now divorced, his ex-wife’s daughter is bipolar and broke the marriage up, used to have metro pcs, then sprint, left sprint with a $500 bill he has yet to pay, met guy fieri once, loves steak and sushi and is retired from the military. yes folks, i got stuck with the habitual TMI talker. eventually, i got my phone and have been playing with it ever since (that’s what she said).


{droid does}

said goodbye to christian…
one of the saddest experiences of my life but it needed to be done. as much as i loved the shoes, i just couldn’t justify all that toe cleavage. and mind you, i actually like toe cleavage but like the saying goes two pigs fighting in a blanket, my toes looked like two pigs fighting over a shoe. yea, notsopretty. this was me saying goodbye...


{nooooooooooooo}

speaking of pigs…
got my swine flu shot this weekend! let’s hope the oink oink virus stays far far away from me.


{stay away from me if you're contagious}

made costco my bitch…
dave and i hate grocery shopping but after 4 months of avoiding it, we finally made a trip to costco where we spent, get this, $400!!! holy cheesy pupusas!!!


{aisle after aisle of costco ass kicking}

sipped on some cab…
after the week i had, a glass of vino was all i needed. mmhmm...


{vida y vino}

sang with ryan…
totally behind on this but i finally watched the proposal. it was cute, definitely not the best of either actor (ahem, sandra’s love potion no. 9 and ryan’s definitely, maybe). however, this scene had me rollin.


{at around o:17...so dave}

how was your weekend?

xoxo

happy is what happens when all your dreams come true

it’s friday, my dears, and i couldn't be happier.



finally, right?! it’s definitely been one of those weeks…hectic and mad all around. even as i write this i’m being bombarded with emails and more work. ughhhh!!! seriously, this work week needs to hitch a ride to podunk idaho with that craptastic hair, cheap sweatpants and brokeback shoes of hers and never come back. peace out stupid work week…hello fabulous weekend!

here's to the little things that got me through the week…

full throttle.

{life is so slow without you, friend}

soy lattes.

{and i got a fucking venti!}
{side note: the above is a direct quote from dave last night. i don't drink ventis, otherwise i'd poop a venti and that...is notsopretty}

texts from the bestests.

{when you become a star we'll be living so large}
a new DIY challenge courtesy of kelly!

{can this banana do it?}

your comments.

{i'd be lost without you}

happy weekend everyone!!!

xoxo


{photos via we heart it, my so called fabulous life and google images}

excuse me ma'am, i can see your toe cleavage

there are many things in my life i said i would do and never did. for example, i told myself i would run on tuesday…ended up on the elliptical instead. i promised to unpack, fold clothes and clean up after work this week…so far haven’t lifted a finger. i made a pact with dave that we’d go grocery shopping on monday…didn’t even mention it. but then there are those things i always said i would do and did. things i was determined to do before i die…a bucket list of sorts…

graduate college in 4 years…did and done.
own a bulldog…now own two.
join team in training and run a marathon in honor of my little brother…ran 2 fulls, 1 half and many more to come.
own a house before the age of 30…booya!
get a tattoo across my back to represent my family…check it.

and now friends, i am proud to say i can add one more to that list…DIY chain boots. oh heck yes i did!!! but wait, let’s not get too excited just yet…i’m not sure i made maegan proud. fashion DIY-ing is hard man! and definitely not as easy as it looks. first of all, good chain is a bizsnatch to find. had to order mine online, which needed to be cut with one of these bad boys…


{oh boy}

to make matters worse, i’m pretty sure every local craft/fabric store around here is low on supplies all year round. i could not for the life of me find a good sized ribbon. i had to go with a larger size and cut it in half. that lead to one big messy situation and a whole lot of frustration. so alas, no ribbon. just your regular chain and old boots. bada bing bada boom.


{these boots are made for walking...}


{and that's just what they'll do...}


{one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you}

eh. nothing to write home about but not half bad. and since we're on the topic of shoes...hello christian...


{these be my marathon shoes}

soooo...i'm thinking about returning them. initially, i thought they were defective. turns out it’s my feet that are the defunct ones. whenever i wear them i show major toe cleavage…like whoa! but i really do love the shoes. sigh. we’ll see. anyway...

happy thursday!

before mean girls there were kalo girls

i’ve briefly mentioned camp okizu before but for the folks that weren’t around then, camp okizu is a non-profit organization that provides summer camps for kids with cancer and their siblings.

for 14 summers, i attended camp…first as a camper then as a camp counselor. it was during this time i made some of the greatest memories and met some of the most amazing people including ben, my favorite camper, who i recently met up with in santa barbara (see monday’s post). seeing him brought back so many memories and reminded me of how much i loved camp. oh the stories i could share...

and that brings me to this one.

it was the summer of 1995. i was thirteen years old barely fitting into an A cup bra and somewhat still dressing like a boy but…i was in kalo! and that’s all that mattered.

you see, camp was divided into four groups…sugarloaf and harmony ridge were the 6-12 year old girls and boys. kalo and luami were the 13-17 year old girls and boys. being in kalo and luami was like having VIP access to diddy's all white party. the teens pretty much had it made and got to do way more stuff than the younger kids.

being in kalo also meant kicking it with the older girls. this was not always pleasant…especially when the older girls were also the meanest girls. (see green arrows below).


{evil takes human form in jen b, laura and jen...they may seem like your typical selfish, back-stabbing slut faced ho-bags, but in reality, they're so much more than that}

the two jens and laura. laura was just kinda there while the other two ran the show. all three were 15 and thought they ruled the camp and at the time i did too. they were bossy, bitchy and proud of it. i hated them but heck no did i go against them. remember, i was only 13.

anyway, back to the story…it was taco bell movie night. all of kalo was down in luami…some were watching the movie, others were outside enjoying the non camp food, and some were making out in the bushes with their boyfriend of the week (yea that would be my friend, maritza). and there i was just finishing up my taco, about to throw away my trash when all of sudden i heard giggles behind me. i turned and saw them…the mean trio. shrugging it off, i walked away. a few minutes later, i noticed something slimy oozing down my back. um…bitches put taco sauce all over my back!!! i couldn’t believe it!!! i was so embarrassed and angry but what was i to do?! soon after my friend staci came running up to me saying she had taco sauce all over her too! OH NO THEY DIDN'T!!! we were pissed! so without telling anyone, we headed back up to kalo hill to change clothes…and that’s when it hit us. it was payback time…

we took all of our liquids...sunscreen, insect repellent, gel, you name it...and squeezed that shit inside each one of those bitches' sleeping bags. HA! you should've seen us, dancing around squirting crap everywhere. it was beautiful! and when the time came for us to go to bed, the mean trio was furious! staci pretended to care by helping clean up. i played dumb...and that's when i said, "hmm, i wonder if it was the same people who squirted taco sauce all over my back?" bwahahahahahaha!!!

payback's a bitch bitchesssss!

{little side note for ya'll...that group photo above is not from the year of this story. it's two years later...best believe none of those see you next tuesdays messed with me then. but when jen b. came back as a counselor several years later, we did make amends. to this day, they still have no idea who did it...}

chillin with the D-O-double-G's

sooooo…i’m not a kid person. i know gasp! right. i try and i do have my moments but for the most part i keep it kid-free. not that i won’t gush over your child’s cuteness or brag about my adorable nephews or laugh at humorous mommy stories because i totes will. i just prefer my own kind of babies...my bulldog babies.

bodie and omar.


if you’re not a dog person, you may or may not want to leave right about now. but if you are (and i truly hope you are), i think it’s ‘bout time you got to know my bullies a little better. my poopers, or "children of the corn" as i call them, are the cat’s pajamas…the bee’s knees, if you will. however, their behavior is similar to that of a whiny, bratty little shit. i hate to say it but yes they are the bad kids in school. if it wasn’t for their hilarious moments and mean mugging ways that crack me up every single day, i’d probably send them packing. but i won’t…and never will. you see, these two wrinkly faced chubbawubbas make up my world.

the hefty firstborn named bodie.
bodie is the stubborn one. you will find him whining if he doesn’t get his way. and when i say "whining", it’s more like bitching and cursing in his weird exorcist voice. he enjoys licking and humping but not at the same time. he is by far the best looking bully in town but he has yet to find the one.







the madness that is omar.
omar is the lover. although, i’m pretty sure he's slightly retarded and i’m not being funny. he is the sweetest dog ever...loves people...enjoys cuddling...but when introduced to other dogs, besides bodie, he goes insane and is completely out of control. therefore, he’s what we call “special”.







together they are my nuggets.

tell me are you a badfish too

we took this trip to garden grove...
actually it was more like santa barbara but i have sublime lyrics stuck in my head. after 10 hours of driving up and down california and listening to every single sublime song ever made (oh yes we did), can you blame me?

this weekend was nothing short of amazing. i had so much fun...like TOO MUCH FUN!!! and i cannot believe it's over. so sad...and what's this? it's november already?!? bahhh!!! this means holidays are just around the corner! as well as a certain vampire movie (ahem...new moon) which hits theatres soon and oh believe i have tickets already. mmhmm...but whoa whoa, i'm ahead of myself... back to halloween. if you've never experienced the madness that is halloween in santa barbara, i highly suggest that you do. seriously, the two go together like a perfect marriage. i'll let the pictures do the talking.

{warning: prepare yourself for picture overload}

ROAD TRIP!!!

{speeding like a demon on 101 south}

our fuel...this was only the first batch.

{go full throttle or go home}


{can you feel it, can you feel that sugar high}

it didn't take long for us to start drinking.

{the palace for dinner and martinis}

halloween eve...just a preview of what was to come.

{tranny alert}

can someone please explain fanny to me? shouldn't it say hooha or vajayjay? just sayin...

{the ladies and gents rooms}

dave found his costume at the very last minute...here he is as frank from 30 rock.

{yes, he made this face all night}

full body shots are not my fortay so please be kind.

{pursuit of fafiness}

halloween night. started with sushi and sake bombs (as usual) and a quick pedicab to the bars.

{pedicabbin it through downtown}


{our pedicab driver was awesome}

downtown santa barbara was kuh-razy!!!

{streets packed with goblins and ghouls}


{quick frank and fafi moment}

first gaga sighting.

{she definitely had the nose going for her}

this has been done before but i loved that they incorporated yoshi and bowser.
{it's MARIO and clan}

by far the best costume of the night goes to alan from the hangover.

{it's not a purse, it's called a satchel. indiana jones wears one}

benji! known him since he was 10 years old, with glasses and a raspy voice. awww...

{my favorite camper all grown up}

the rest is santa barbara...










i hope everyone had an awesome halloween weekend. i'm off to catch up on all your blogs. in the meantime, let's all try to have a good monday and yes that includes myself...

happy monday!!!

happy friday ya'll!

gotta make this short and sweet 'cause we're hitting the road...


{on the road again...}

our very first road trip together...
(what can i say, we've been spoiled with free flights)


{is that a boy? i hope that's a boy driving}

6 long hours of flaming hot cheeto fun...


{num num num}

which can only mean jam out sesh's like this...


{i'll tell you what i want, what i really really want}

and in the spirit of HALLOWEEN (one more day, yee!), i leave you with a blast from my halloween past...

gotta love the cheap 80's kid costumes. was i a cat in a hat? you tell me.

{thought i saw a puddy cat}

for the first time i feel wicked.

{the wickedest witch there ever was}

not sure if i'm one of the beatles or a pumpkin. what's with the hair, dude? at least mama's workin that tiger look.

{the result of hand me down costumes}

have a happy and safe halloween!

it’s a party in the USA now, biatch!

i had really high hopes for today…you know the kind where you look forward to having the best day ever. but when you’re woken up at 3:30 in the morning and can’t go back to sleep until 4:30am, then wake back up at 5:15am to your alarm clock blaring only to hit snooze and go back to sleep for a couple minutes turned 45 MINUTES! yea well, it’s hard to start the day off on good note. luckily, i was only 15 minutes late to work and since i’m always the first to arrive, nobody's here to care! haha. after i hit up the liquo’sto for my daily dose of meth juice throttle, i’ll be back on the hot tamale train in no time {insert mary murphy scream here}.

anydoodilly…

there are few things that made me smile big this week and since i’m in a giving mood, i thought i’d share.

it's miley.
did you all see this? gums was crowned world's worst celebrity influence of 2009. i about fell over my chair laughing. FINALLY!!! people get it!!!


{i'm sorry, there's a party in the USA but biatch you ain't invited}

shopping is my therapy.
did a little online shopping this week and apparently i’m feeling really really girly because i bought a couple dresses and a skirt. you’d think i had long legs or something. um…not the case.


{for a future date night...hint hint dave}


{seriously where am i going to wear this?}


{this one is so flippin cute...i might just wear it for a whole month straight!}

badgers need love to.
thank you, thank you to everyone who took the time out of their day (and i know it was a big chunk of time) to read and respond to the badger interview yesterday. i truly appreciate it with all my heart. and big ups to kristin for taking on the challenge. you rock woman! but the badger love didn’t stop there...kristen of while we're waiting... sent each badger a little badger treat. here's what we received...oofa, the healing balm. liz, the sleep balm. and me, the sore muscle rub for all my crazy runs. how perfect is that?!? thank you mucho kristen!


{if i were lost in some remote place, i'd want my badger with me}

my new sole mate.
so they haven't been delivered just yet but they're on their way. yeeeee!!! i have a feeling my hand will be shaking heavily as i sign off and meet my new sole mate. it will be love at first sight, no doubt.


{hey there sole mate, care to make love to my feet?}

trick or treat smell my feet.
for someone that lacks the love-of-kids gene, i do enjoy seeing the kiddies dressed up for halloween. when they come begging for candy in their homemade, cheap or fancy store bought costumes...i die! but the best is when i see a little chunky monkey of a girl sporting a sparkly getup two sizes too small who answers "britney spears" when i ask who she is...makes my heart smile. i'm bummed that i'm missing them this year but after seeing --> this...i think i got my fix.


{please sir, can i have some more}

so after all that, i'm smiling again.

hope your thursday is off to a good start!!!
