buttcrackview mirror

on my 3:30 lunch break this afternoon i decided to run to the bank in the local strip mall and deposit my dough.   Walking out to my car i notice a big pimpin' sedan parked next to mine with 2 big dudes that looked like football players who both stopped their conversation to look in my direction.....prolly cuz i dropped my keys and my wallet popped open and things went flying and in an annoyed tone i moaned "fuuuuuuuck."  as i finished picking up all my goods i stood up to find the same 2 dudes in their red car sitting and staring.......something polkadotted hanging from their rearview mirror and without really thinking and having a sudden realization -

I blurted to them  "hey guys nice panties!" 
to which they replied,  "yeah you too!"

I was more baffled why they had this big ole polkadotted thong sprawled across their rearview mirror, by brain was firing in such a tangent of the long list of reasons why dudes would have a pair of women's underwear it wasn't until i sat into my car, had to make sure my sundress wasn't gonna get stuck in the car door, and then i realized that as i was bending over to pick up the insides of my wallet, my dress totally blew up over my butt.  Unfortunately there was nothing cute about my underwear today and i appologize for the public viewing of that go-to standby comfy pair of underwear you wear when the rest of your skivvies are either in the wash or need to get washed.

i appreciate a good laugh at my expense every now and then

moving

I'm moving next month and by next month i mean next week and I just found out today it was final. I am stoked.  I'm moving into this big house with 2 friends and 3 dogs (and hopefully not a cat) and i don't have a job lined up yet, so i have to keep my current job until i find something else that pays the bills.  It's gonna be really crazy and really stressful, but I really cannot wait for the challenge of making ends meet & having 3 dogs and 2 roommates i don't hate and my own space and the chance to feel like i'm finally moving somewhere that's always been more of a home to me than anywhere else.

Old Friends - New Fun

This past Sunday started out kinda bummer, then i remembered i was invited to my friend Timmy's new house in the Ocean State for a cd swap/pot luck dinner party with all his super nice hippie musician friends.

I showed up early to hang out, help cut squid, shrimp, and scallops, herbs and stuff to go into a fresh seafood salad and also help drink some of the beer i brought.  It was fun to hang out and get bossed around prepping food for Tim - who is quite the skilled chef - i always enjoy cooking or watching him cook because i always learn something new about food or cooking or the proper way to cut raw seafood that i wouldn't normally touch with a 10-foot pole.

Tim and I don't get to hang out all that much anymore because he's always busy and i'm always busy and the fact he lives in another state doesn't make it that much easier to hang out on a whim.....  i met a bunch of his friends and when people were like "how do you know Him?"  Tim reminded me that we first met when we were 4 playing on our first teeball and soccer teams together and were lucky enough to have gone to the same high school together. I'm trying to find an old picture of this time in history - might take a couple days to locate

Kudos to Timmy and his friends for the fun night, good food and good times.

Dr. Dre

last minute i had to make my weekend a long weekend. why? well, mostly because i needed a day off for illness and more importantly mostly is that i need a new place to live.  So me and my 2 future roommates went apartment hunting and it was crazy!  We saw 8 apartments, the majority of which were occupied by sleeping tenants (what breed of loser is still sleeping at 11am on a hot summer day!?!? ) - these tenants were all dirty. I'm no neat freak, my 2 future roommates are a little on the OCD side than myself - but for me to be the first to mention that a place is a dump, it had to have been pretty goddamn awful.  One of our top choices (even though it was a pretty disturbingly messy place, mostly because they had animals) was probably the most memorable part of the whole excursion; this house had one big angry dog locked in a bedroom and this other cute little pup walking around freely.  This little pup didn't bark, he sat without a command and also gave paw. SO CUTE!  He was so psyched to see 4 people who loved dogs he must have sensed our love. At one point Meghan leaned over and was like "oh he has tags i wonder what your name is little buddy............Dr. DRE!!"  Why yes, our new puppy friend was indeed named Dr. Dre. We know where he lives and we are contemplating rescuing him from his dirty degenerate owners and making him our newest 4-legged roommate. 

we saw 8 apartments, had 3 agents, spent 8.5 hours roundtrip and what did we decide?  Well we put a bid on the very first apartment we saw and now we're waiting to see if we can lowball the landlord a little to get the rent a little less outrageous........we're all pretty psyched about the big move 3 ladies, 3 glorious pets, 2 huuuuuuuge parks nearby.......starbucks......wholefoods, bicycles, dirty water etc.

rosey cheeks

today's local newspaper and online forecasts didn't really make it seem like it was gonna be a perfect beach day, but it was.  Amazingly, a big group of friends managed to wake up at otherwise unreasonable weekend hours (after spending a late late night out before), all ready to get on the road and trek to the Ocean State. 2-4 carloads later, we were a large group occupying a sizable plot of sand. We had fun digging huge holes and turning men into mermaids, some annoying kids to ignore, a few fat stingy jellyfish to dodge, not too many beers, and plenty of good laughs. We didn't see any speedos today, but we did see 2 very fit men wearing spandex booty shorts as swim trunks.  I'm still wondering when the States are gonna really jump into the whole speedo scene. It makes the beach that more magical. And i'm being serious about this, speedo love is no joke.

In this perfect weather, i think 90% of us now have at least one lobster-like burn on our bodies. Valerie wins the burn award with a killer buttcheek/hamstring splotchy burn pattern. She wouldn't let me take a picture before she drove back to boston, i really wanted to post it up here - she knew that - and i'm pretty much sure that's why she said "no - this will not be posted on your blog." RayRay came in a close 2nd place with a killer chest burn. We all got a little sun roasty today, and

We missed Scott and Mark and their usual beach crew due to the unfortunate news that Scoot broke a bunch of toes/or his foot? and he is on crutches from a scuffle with a series of large waves from the day before. Hope for a quick recovery buddy, we missed the extreme ladderball opportunities and the tide reports today!
