She Bangs

Breaking News

I cut bangs. Last week I was in Target and within the 10 minutes of being in there buying toilet paper, I saw 4 soccer moms with the same haircut that I had. Not good. So yesterday when I was getting my 'do did, I decided to go dark and add some bangs. Several people told me today that my haircut looks like these people.

Bullet Bandwagon

Since there is not much action in my life right now I thought I'd touch on some randomness in bullet style

• Shanghai Butterfly perfume by Nanette Lepore smells heavenly.

• I have been on a television watching marathon lately. My show of merit this week: My Big Fat Redneck Wedding. It's on the country music channel. I can't say enough abut this show.

• The song "Anyone else but you" by the Moldy Peaches is my favorite song right now. It is from the movie Juno. I tried to embed the song but I am a lame ass and could not figure out esnips.
  

• I am trying to get geeked up on politics and ruling out the lesser of evils when selecting my Presidential pick, seriously I hate politics.
  

• I have a crush on Dr. Drew from Celebrity Rehab.

• I'm thinking of getting bangs.

• My onion ring eating career is over. Although they taste SO GOOD, they don't agree with my tummy. I found that out yesterday.

• I haven't walked more than 4 miles since the 3-Day and I feel like crap. I need to excersize but I can't motivate myself to do so. I lost my baby toenail as a result of the walk.
  

• I want a Smart Car

• My contractor sometimes talks to me like I am a stupid girl who doesn't know anything about construction. Well, I don't know much about construction, but he has this tone when he talks to me that pisses me off and I want to punch him in the wiener.

• I hate that people die from drug abuse and sick f*cks like this exploit it.

Non-reality TV

I watch pretty much one show faithfully and that show is Project Runway. I love this show. Go Sweet P (However, I bet she gets Auf-'ed next week). Other than that when TV is on I am usually not paying much attention. Tonight, I have been flipping around checking out what is on. After being dragged into the trainwreck that is the Duggar Family Show, you know those baby drunk religious robots, over-populating the world with litter after litter of beautiful children. I then cruised over to Extreme Home Makeover and watched them construct a mini mansion in a matter of days. This house was HUGE. I wonder if EHM had to go though septic hell, take 4 years to get a permit, and deal with A-hole inspectors? Now, I sit her watching probably the worst show EVER. It is called Scott Baio is 46 and a Douchebag. Oh. My. Dog. When did Chachi become such a TOOL? What a whiny moron. The Fonz must be pissed.

Carry on People....Make it work.

That's how my Aussie friend says thirteen. So, today is 13 months logged in. The teens, we've hit the teens in this journey. I hope they aren't moody like my two thirteen year olds.

After one year....PROGRESS

(Insert giant eyeroll)
This is our progress on our addition after one year. A stick with a pink flag on it. Woo-freakin- Hoo. The surveyor finally got his tail out to survey the property so we can move ahead with the septic issue. Which will come first to house completion or babygirl? See poll section.

This photo was taken a few days ago at sunset.

Good thing this place has a killer view or we would have pitched it a year ago.

Thanks Lizzie!

The most beautiful Snow Angel EVER!

2012

I have resorted to blogging about my animals. I should be blogging about my newly adopted daughter, but no..............THIS EFF'ING BLOWS.

And now some words from the spectacular David Bowie:

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

Look what they did to my boy!

BEFORE

So I took Hank to the groomer yesterday for a bath and a haircut. It was a new groomer close in proximity to home and work, and lets face it I liked the name, Dippity Dog. I admitted to the groomer lady that we have been pretty busy lately and have not been the best about brushing him, so his fur had gotten a little nappy in the back so she may need to cut some of his leg dreads off. She said she would give him a detangler treatment and cut out what she needed to make him look back to normal. I said JUST DON'T SHAVE HIM. She said she wouldn't. Mark picks him up, brings him home and he looks like this:

AFTER

She frikking SHAVED HIM. Stupid Dippity Dog, even though the name is cute, they made my dog look like a hobo dog. Poor little dude he was cold last night, he had to get under the covers with me. Now I am not a frou frou doggie outfit put-er on-er, but my man was COLD! So I had to take him to the pet store today and buy him a sweater. They didn't have much of a selection of bad ass doggie wear, so this is the best I could come up with. It's cute despite the furry hoodie part. I'm only going to make him wear it at night until some of his fur grows back.

Serves me right

This is my cat Grady. Last night we could not find him to come inside. We were all pretty frantic trying to find him. Well, this morning when I went to leave for work I opened my car door and out popped Grady. Whew! We thought he was a coyote snack. Well, to punish us for locking him in the car he left a giant dump on my drivers seat. From now on I will be scanning the car for the cat.

Now on to the good stuff......

The Ship

Spent a little bit (ok alot) of time at the Riviera Bar sipping raspberry Mojitos

One of three pools

Cabo San Lucas

Los Arcos (see the donkey getting a sip of water?)

We snorkeled using Sea Doo Power Scooters, it was so much fun until me and the boys got stung by jellyfish (thats not me by the way, I just googled an image so you could get the picture)

Whale watched on the way back. That is a humpback whale. It was ginourmous.

Went horse back riding on the beach


Mazatlan

We kayaked around Cactus Island, that big mountian in the distance

The beach in the Golden Zone of downtown Mazatlan


Puerto Vallarta

We were brought in by boat to a little fishing village

They were selling smoked fish cooked on sticks over open coals, it was incredible.

We then hopped on this Indiana Jones truck and headed up to the rainforest. When we got to the top we jumped on mules and they took us up the rest of the steep switch back path to the top. When we got to the top we strapped on gear and zip lined down over 4 miles of cable through the jungle. We also got to rappel straight down over 100 feet along a beautiful waterfall. It was AMAZING.

All right, now WHERE is my room steward? Where are my 5 course meals? A girl could get used to this lifestyle.

Yuck. I come home to THIS?

The 19th??

Kill. Me. Now.

This is so fucking wrong.
