I’m putting together my costume this afternoon, so while I’m at work, I’m dressed up as Awesome. Which I know is my everyday uniform, but until I get my Slutty Zombie (rolling eyes) costume completed, Being Awesome will have to do.
As I do every year, here’s a stroll down MELoween’s past.
There will be pics tomorrow of tonight’s costume. Don’t worry…I would never let you down…. Until then, my black widow sweatshirt will have to serve as a place holder.
Bootcamp was great last night. My legs are definitely getting stronger as is my core. Our trainer, Marietta, is offering a 5:00 a.m. yoga class starting next week that I’d really like to do, but I’m afraid I can’t get my butt up and get there that early.
However, I think I’m gonna give it a go. It’s once a week for 4 weeks. I’m a big girl. I can do it. I’ll just put my grown up pants on and get out of bed. (What that really means is, I’ll just sleep in my yoga clothes, roll out of bed and head to the gym half awake.)
Arkansas plays Ole Miss this weekend here in Little Rock. If any of y’all are headed here from Oxford, give me a shout. Jefe and I are probably gonna hit the tailgating early. I have to have Rader at the stadium by 6:30 a.m. to assist the parking. It’s an early game, so I’m thinking there will be a lot of solo cups full of bloody maries and mimosas!
Halloween is next week! I keep getting costume emails. Why do these costume stores think ALL women want to go as “SWAT Hottie” or Sexy WHATEVER. Ugh. My new favorite? Sexy Bat.
Someone in my family used to say “People who dress as the slutty witch for Halloween, are just slutty and the holiday just gives them an excuse to flaunt it.”
Thankfully I’m okay with being sexy year around. This year, I just want to wear a fun wig and makeup. My sexiness is natural, enhancing it with such a costume might cause a rift between universes. I can’t be responsible for that.
Though I will admit that it might be a lot of fun to be a slutty big bird….Feathers and fishnets OH MY!
Whatever you decide to be for Halloween, wear it well. And if you decide to be a slutty bat this year, please stop by the PartyHood so I can see it! Warning, I will judge you based on the advertisement. You better have the rack to fill that top! I wanna see your tits plunging forward and giving people black eyes!
Did my American friends enjoy your day off yesterday (if you had one?) Did you soak up sun and booze and shoot imaginary fireworks? Sorry about the burn bans. No sparklers for us this year!
We had a great day at JChris’s new apartment. We cooked out, laid out, and let it all hang out. There was even some water volleyball.
BTW, my Bachelorette Hometown Date recap is posted. Sorry it was late. My internets at the house has been out so that makes for posting things to the internet very difficult. Hopefully ATT will sort this out today. No Me Gusta.
Today I get my hurs did! Yay!
It was a very emotional day. I don’t think Rader actually realized how hard cutting his hair would be…he was joking and laughing for the first two cuts, and then broke down into horrible, heart-wrenching tears for the last two cuts. I was a bit torn about how to handle it because I didn’t want to cry but when you see your 14 year old mancub breaking down, it’s hard not to join him.
Here’s a picture play-by-play:
He didn’t love his hair at first, but after spending the weekend looking at himself, I think he’s totally smitten now.
Happy Memorial Day, USA! Please take the time to thank a service member for his or her dedication to our freedom.
I’d like to wish everyone who celebrates Easter a very happy and blessed day.
For everyone else, enjoy the food, the candy, the egg hunting and the sexy bunny suits! (JUST ME?)
It’s amazing how fast this week has flown by! We got right back into the groove of things with guitar lessons and work, and soccer, and, and, and…yeah. Busy.
My Sweet Baby Mac has been returned to me with a brand new hard drive. She’s beautiful and I love her so much. Now I can write comfortably again!
BTW, did you check out this week’s Bachelor recap?
We also have SouthLAnd recaps and Glee! is back with a yummy cocktail recipe to go along with a fabulous recap. I don’t watch Glee! but I always read Stoney’s recaps…because she is witty and her cocktails are yummy.
Did I tell you guys that I showed up to work on Monday only to discover campus was closed. ☚ yeah. I am a dull bulb sometimes. In my defense, I’ve never worked anywhere that was closed on MLK Day. It was actually a nice surprise to have an unexpected day off…
Apparently there are a lot of people interested in “Love Coupons” as it has been the #1 search term that has been bringing people to my blog. (The 2nd term has been “feet”. The intertubes has a foot fetish.) Anyway, I mentioned “love coupons” in a blog last year, and I’m getting tons of traffic this year to that post. Here’s a link, maybe it’ll help someone out… I believe love coupons are the only coupon allowed on Valentine’s Day…If you use a Groupon, I’m totally gonna make fun of you. Openly.
Have a great weekend y’all!
So I had two weeks off…and even though I did a lot of sleeping, I did other things, too.
El Jefe and I started building a firepit in our yard. We are using bricks that used to be walls at the entrance of my parents’ driveway. Multiple walls that were knocked down multiple times due to drunk drivers totally missing the giant curve in front of their house.
It’s kinda cool that we are making something new out of something old.
And even though it’s not finished, we did build a fire for New Years. Yeah this pit is gonna be awesome. And so will the patio we are going to build around it.
This is the area before we started.
First thing we had to do was collect the bricks. This really isn’t very easy, because they’re down by the pond and we have to pull the wagon through a marshy area before we pull it up the hill to the pit area. Also, the bricks are heavy. So before we used the tractor to pull them, we used Rader.
Then we employed Ruby to supervise.
C’mon baby! Light my FIRE!
While we’re prettying up the area, we decided to give Baby Bear some company. He always loved the ladies.
I took a much needed two week break from blogging. It was totally unplanned, but I’m glad I did it. Hope you guys are still around. If not, I’ll just talk to myself. I do that a lot anyway. Good thing I crack myself up…
First things, first…The Bachelor is back and so are my recaps at Hey Don’t Judge Me! Go forth, read and let’s discuss the crazy! Because trust me, this season will be full of some drama.
Lot’s of things went down over the holiday break. And by “lot’s of things” I actually mean sleep. I did lots of sleeping. I slept all the sleeps. It was fantastic.
I also got a haircut…
I like it. 🙂 I never like having the same ol’ boring hair year after year.
I hope y’all had a wonderful holiday and new year.
By the way, I don’t believe in resolutions, but I do think I could use a revolution this year…let’s make it happen.
I’m wearing jingle bells in my ears.
A giant off-white sweater with gold snowflakes, a gingerbread house, snowman and trees.
And red and green Christmas socks.
I thought I was being ironic because I have my girls Christmas gathering tonight and wanted to be funny for Festivus. Apparently some of the people I work with think I’m being serious.
I have failed Christmas Irony 101.
Actually, no, they have failed because they wear this stuff on purpose for serious. That means I’m an epic winner. Right?
That’s my Christmas story and I’m sticking to it. Also has anyone seen my leg lamp? I swear I put it in the front window…
I guess we can officially start singing the 12 Days of Christmas now.
AND A BEER IN A TREE.
Confession: I didn’t know a “toque” was a hat for the longest time. I thought they meant something else when they said 5 golden toques…
