Happy 4th of July ...

By
It't the 4th of July!

Yay, a day to celebrate our freedom ... a day to say I AM AN AMERICAN AND PROUD OF IT. A day that we declared our freedom!!! We are free and we will fight to stay that way! AMEN!!

Then ... have you ever had too many people doing too many things on the 4th of July? We rarely have too many things to do or places to see or people to visit on the 4th, but we've always managed to do something with someone.

Can I say that I hate to fight to see the fireworks? OMG ... it is redunkulious! Is that even a word? It is now. Holy cow ... to sit in traffic for hours and hours, then to fight to get parking, then to sit for hours just until the fireworks start. Then to have to sit in the heat until it was time for the show to start. Ugh ... what if you have to go potty? I am not a super huge fan of the port-a-potty. I go and hover like there is no tomorrow. For some reason I feel like the icky stuff on the seat is jumping off of it to stick to my backside. ... moving on.

The fireworks themselves are amazing and so much fun... it is a beautiful ballet of lights and booms ... crackles and pops. It truly is amazing and so much fun to watch.

Then ... you have to fight to get out of the traffic. UGh ... that is probably the worst part of the whole thing. If you choose to sit and wait to get out of the parking lot you might as well just spend the night wherever you are. Mount Trashmore is the WORST place to see fireworks. I swear that if there was ever a Hurricane warning the same night as the firewoks that no one would survive. true story. LOL ...

So let me stop complaining and get moving ... this year we've opted to wait till the last minute to see the fireworks. Maybe next year when I've had 2 years to recover from the crowd and the heat. Now ... does this make me any less patriotic?

Day 1

10 facts about yourself. .. I am on my iPad so if you see typos then just pretend they are spelled correctly. Move on!!!! 1. I am beginning to turn into a geek. I will explain... I was never a gadget geek until I met my husband. For our anniversary he purchased an iPad for me. For Valentines day he purchased a docking station for my iPad. Every year the presents get cooler and cooler ... But I am forgetting what diamonds look like... (hint hint) 2. I just became a Party Gal. Oh yes... This chic does those parties. They are the most fun and you can't beat having a good time with friends while earning free stuff ... Free naughty stuff!!!! Woot woot. 3. I am addicted to Twilight. Don't judge me, it wasn't my fault ... Well, not really. If you say you don't like it or you think it is stupid then you are missing the bigger picture. I don't have time to go into it, but if you hate it then you are stoooooopid!!! 4. I married a white guy. I know I know ... A really white gu

I have an addiction ...

By
Yes ... I'm no longer in denial. I have an addiction. VH1 has this little mini series that started with Flavor Flav ... some of you might know who he is, some of you won't. I won't go into details, if you want to know ... google his name. Anyway ... this man was looking for love. So VH1 gave him his own show where he could have 15 - 20 women compete for his love. Every week, he would eliminate one person. Here is where it get's a little confusing so try to follow along. I didn't really watch this one, I'm not a huge fan of Flavor Flav. From this show, New York (he named all of the women different names based on personality or character) was in the bottom two and lost. She got her own show ... "I Love New York" ... where she got to go thru 15 - 20 men while they competed for her love. THEN ... they figured why not a rock star... so they got Brett Michales from Poison to do his own show ... ready for this ... "Rock of Love." Now between

#17 - Bikini Wax

By
Sweet Jesus ... what was I thinking? Today I finally got the courage to do this whole "Bikini Wax" thing. I was really really hoping this thing was a fad and it was going to go away, but it didn't. :( After my relaxing message I walked next door (with my husband in tow) and I grew some balls and asked the lady how much the bikini wax was. She could probably tell by my face that I had never done this before. She smiled and pointed at the BIG price board behind her. Oops... fail #1. Holy Hell, $45 to rip hair off of someone’s body? Really? UGH ... After talking myself in and out of doing the wax, I decided that since I was here I might as well just do it. I mean, my motto in life is to try everything once, and the fun things twice. This wasn't quite what I had in mind. The moment that I said that I wanted to do this, a tiny girl comes up to me and starts talking to me about her prices and what she does and does not do. ... I'm confused. All I wanted was a bi
