BM's (aka big moves!)

My sister decided to move new place in her big city about a month ago, which is sweet for her and for guests ;) . My mom and i drove up to see her and the new place before the big move to bring some random objects, breakables, and then stock the place up with new apartment necessities. We trekked to the Home Depot, and my sister was not having fun and started getting kinda flustered with toilet seat selection and i think was just peaking frustration about the whole move......

Oh Mom and Sister, oh the stress- WHICH ONE??

The thoughtful person i am i decided it was my duty as obnoxious little sister to brighten up the Stressball with some crude gestures, and loud comments to at least make my sister crack half a smile......Success!!

The perfect fit: ALWAYS climb into displays
And then apparently i took the Home Depot humor too far . . . . .seriously a nipple extractor? ouch

A perfect square

da beach




a bunch of weeks ago we started to have some random days in a row that actually felt like summer, so Meghan thought, hey we haven't seen all these people in a long time let;s all take a day off from work and go to the beach! Awesome idea!! So seriously every day of that week was absolutely gorgeous...............EXCEPT for the one day we all decided to beach it, GO FIGURE. Our once hefty group quickly shrunk to 9 committed (to at least show up).....

the clouds came, then a little rain, and then almost everyone left the beach except us. That's when the real fun started........colored sand castles, near-death wave encounters, mammoth frisbee toss, board games, beers, timmy's bean salsa, sand in every crevice, metal detector coin toss man, and more!!! The best part was when the sun decided to come out at like 3 and like 85% of the people were already gone and how Abbey looks naked in a few pictures, but just the skin/bathing suit combo hahahah

i love da beach

Where what huh?

I haven't been posting much of anything lately, WHY? 65% out doing random things i've been meaning to post, 13% trying to make ends meet taking all this time off from work, 9% ADHD/daydreaming, 6% tired of computers, 3% being secretive, 1% engrossed 1% lethargic, 1% cooking. For those more visual i'll provide a pie chart of my summer habits:MMMMMmmmmm Pie

I suppose i'll post some stuff so i'll be able to look back and smile when that nasty cold weather comes back in a couple months and remember what fun summer is and why warmer climates make people happy......:)

weekend lesson update

Just in case i forget everything i've learned this past weekend I thought i'd make a list of important facts i most likely will forget by tomorrow afternoon (list is kinda work in progress and is in no order of importance)

1. Diaper cakes are cute, however, assembling one last minute in sweltering heat with a headache-infused short temper was god awful. Okay, the end result made it worthwhile because it turned out fucking awesome and i immediately apologized for being a complete whore to my patient mother.

2. Procrastination still can bring the bitch out of me. I dig it.

3. Overbooking your weekend most of the time makes you an asshole, but it's an honest mistake, it just so happens every once in a while all the cool things fall on the same day and you gotta show up at all of them. This time it just barely worked out. Whew.

4. Driving 4 hours round trip to see an awesome band play for a little over an hour for free is always a good idea.

5. When at live events, typically concerts, the tallest people find their way right in front of me. Apparently there's some kind of magnetism i haven't quite been able to counteract. It bothers me less and less, i rationalize knowing they will have significant discomfort riding in SmartCars when all the fuel either disappears or gets too expensive.

6. If i ever get knocked up and have a baby shower it's gonna be just like Yari's from yesterday or like Evita's from last year: straight up Latina style. I've been to too many boring showers, typical shit, awkward oohs and ahhs, dumb games, pretentious food, and kinda boring for the most part. Not these girls, nope. These were like go all out decorations, loud danceable music, bangin' traditional HOMECOOKED food, beers, wine coolers and jello shots, co-ed too! No lame gringa shit, this was a real celebration with a big family vibe.

7. Always order 2 burritos from Anna's Taqueria on your way back home. They're great cold the next day or the day after that.

8. Even new bathrooms have peep holes.

9. I will use a sketchy bathroom in a pinch. I honestly don't know what will determine a bathroom unusable...............okay............... i CAN think of a list of possible scenarios

10. Sometimes tjmaxx employees make mistakes in your favor; ex. $200 designer jeans for $24.99 Whoops! They normally price these puppies at like $79.99 or like $99.99, and i know that because i saw ones that were priced for that much, SUCKERS! And they aren't even missing a button or have an extra pant leg, wow.

11. I really like hotdogs, and other hotdog derivatives

12. I have a hard time finishing things
