It's Tuesday and time for Random Tuesdayness (aka, Random Tuesday Thoughts). If you want to play, go visit The Un Mom for all the rules and regulations because, frankly, I'm sick of telling you about it!
Remember how I went to the Arts Festival over the weekend? Well we ended up parking in this really shady parking garage. It was around the back of the building and then underground as well. It totally reminded me of the opening rave scene in Blade where everyone was dancing and then the blood bath started. Creepy. But we made it out alive!
I had a meeting at 8 this morning. I got to the office, walked halfway to the building and then realized the meeting was downtown. I felt like a tool. And I was 30 minutes late.
Noelle and I saw a man running across State Street (I think) in nothing but running shorts late on Saturday night. We always see the strangest, most random shit while driving at night.
While I was watching Auri's kids on Sunday night I happened to look out her front window and saw a man riding bike pulling lawnmower behind him. Steering the bike with one hand, pulling the mower with the other. This picture isn't it (obvi) but it paints a picture...Results from my sex poll: What is your favorite posish?

Dark meat chicken is disgusting. They should only make white meat chickens... wow, that sounds really racist! I just don't like it.... it's gross.
On my way home from grabbing lunch yesterday I saw a man and woman walking up 21st south in their bathing suits and nothing else. I sure as hell wouldn't be walking around in next to nothing. These people were middle aged and didn't have what I'd call smokin' hot bods!
The Black Eyed Peas' new album rocks! I love it. I bought the 2 disc edition from Target and it's fabulous. My only complaint is that there are some things that are bleeped out and others that aren't. I'm wondering if it's that way because it's the Target version? Anyone know?Lyrics from track #8: Ring A Ling
Honey, I, oh I, I got somethin' for ya, baby
'Cause if I'm callin' at 2 in the mornin'
It only means one thing, baby
'Cause my phone go ring a ling a ling, ling
Ring a ling a ling, ling, ring a ling, a ling, ling
Ring a ling a ling, ling, ring a ling
Ring a ling a ling, ling, ring a ling
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
Then the girls want ding a ling a ling, ling
Ding a ling a ling, lind, dina a ling a ling, ling
Ding a ling a ling, ling, ding a ling
Dam, dam, dang a lang
I decided I really want a metallic pink beach cruiser. Anyone want to donate to my cause? I will totally take donations here people!
Have I ever mentioned I have OCD? Only in relation to certain things... but it's getting worse as I get older!
Remember the "prize" I won on Earth Day from Eden Fantasys? Well I finally tried it out... and guess what? I love it! I would definitely recommend a glass *ahem* to anyone. When discussing it over coffee with Rose and Noelle a few weeks ago, Rose once again expressed her concern about it breaking, shattering, getting dented... Noelle then replied, "It would take an act of nature, God, Congress and the Catholic Churh to dent a glass dildo."
Is it weird that I dream about my ex a lot? It's starting to drive me crazy! I had a pretty hot and steamy dream about Vince from Entourage the other night. Can't wait 'til the show starts!
I officially love Proactiv. I think I should become its new spokeswoman. The stuff is working wonders on my skin and I'm in awe. Yes it is pricey, but totally worth it in my opinion!
And as always, some RPattz eye candy for the girls! FYI - 143 days until New Moon comes out!!!
I started mopping the floor at 8 PM and finished by 8:30, then had to dash out of the house to make it to the mall in time before it closed (the Proactiv kiosk is at the mall). I couldn't go another night without some semblance of hope for my naughty skin. It's seriously disgusting. I bought the starter pack of Proactiv and got the oil-free moisturizer with it. I seriously wanted to go straight home to wash my face and start my skin regimen but had to go to the gym first. I can honestly say that my skin feels really soft this morning. It hasn't cleared up, but that's not going to happen overnight. I think it even looked a little brighter and smoother after I did the mask and everything last night. It could also be the placebo effect, I guess I'll never know. I'll let you know how things shape up over the next few weeks.
Oh, now I remember... I went to see The Hangover with 
SYTYCD was on last night and I went home and watched the TiVo'd version after the gym. I skipped most of the judges commentary, but since my friend Candace said Toni Basil sucked (one of the judges) I didn't feel too bad skipping it. Plus it was late and I didn't have excess amounts of time to watch all of the gratuitous fluff. I think my favorite dance of the night was Randi and Evan's Mia Michaels' Butt Dance. Like the judges said, only Mia can take something so insignificant (like a tushie) and turn it into a number that everyone will talk about for weeks! I can't find the video of it for you, but check it out if you can find it! Or come over and watch it on my TiVo!
That sign says "Park Closed; No Swimming: Health Hazard, Drowning Hazard" - Not the pool, the park!
In my defense, I did start another blog (the weight loss blog) so that should redeem my faults a little bit, at least... even if I've only posted a welcome letter! Oh, and if you want to read it and I haven't sent you an invite, just make sure you let me know and that I have your email address.
I'm listening to Joss Stone right now. I love that woman! I'd really like to know when her new album is coming out. I just found a 
I looked at the paper he gave me and asked what his name was because I couldn't read it very well. The man's name is Hiis (pronounced: hees)... and that's when the jokes began. Not because he was a jerk, just because we liked his name and it entertained us. I think Noelle was the first... "Hiis nice," (read: He's nice), and that's how it went for the rest of the night.
We had reservations at Cafe Coyote so we were sat right away. The drinks came out quickly and the dinner followed shortly thereafter. The food is good, the drinks are huge and the service isn't bad, either. Our server was really cute and brought Rose a flan then sent the mariachi band over to sing Happy Birthday to her. The candle on the flan was actually a strip of a tortilla chip they lit on fire... kinda funny.
After dinner we took a walk up the road and looked in a few of the little shops. I ended up buying shot glasses to bring to a few peeps at home (and after I got home I read the sticker on the bottom that said: Caution - This item contains lead and may be hazardous to your health - or something like that). Oh well, it's the thought that counts, right? We called Hiis to come back for us and he drove us back to our hotel. I was fine to drive (apparently alcohol doesn't affect me anymore... I guess I'll just stop drinking) so we hopped in the car and headed to Rose's to grab the map for the marathon the next morning. Did I mention I love that Chrysler 300?
We decided to take a walk on the beach when we got back to Rose's because we didn't think we'd have time the next day... and if the sun isn't out, it doesn't really matter if you walk on the beach during the day or at night. For those of you who know me, I couldn't care less if I stuck my toe in the water or not, so the three of us walked down on the sand, but Rosie was the only one who went to the water. There's so much seaweed and crap on the beach in Cali that I didn't want to be standing in it. And God knows how I love when things happen to me in the ocean. I'll share those stories another time. This was our self-portrait on the beach. 
Noelle and I left Rose in her room and headed back to our hotel. We got all packed so we could head out first thing in the morning. Did I mention Sunday was reserved for marathon activities? We decided to be to the 13 mile marker by 8:30 so Rose came to our hotel around 8 (if I remember correctly) and we checked out and headed toward Maddie. We actually parked the car at the Mall and walked up to Friars Road right before the 12 mile marker but it all worked out. 
We waited for about 35 minutes and started getting nervous that we'd missed her. We saw all the crazy dressed-up people... there was a guy with a Nemo fish hat on, another one dressed up in a banana costume and a flock of Elvi. It was the Rock & Roll Marathon so we saw a lot of people dressed up as Elvis, but the Flock of Elvi was the best.... Maddie and her girls came running down the road a bit after 9 AM and we were sooo excited and happy to see her! We all got a little teary. We're a sad bunch, we know! 
I cropped the pics so you can see them a bit easier. After all of that she said she didn't see us. We were kinda bummed about it, but oh well, whatcha gonna do?! The three of us (who Maddie lovingly nicknamed the Witches of Eastwick) went to Starbucks to grab some food and coffee. Noelle had to wait in line at Sbux to use the bathroom. The dude in front of her went in with a ginormous backpack and a towel... and he didn't come out for about 20 minutes. We think he showered, shaved and got ready for the day while he was in there. Gross!
The finish line for the marathon was inside the Marine Corps Recruit Depot and we couldn't be happier to be surrounded by multitudes of sexy men! We got searched, hopped on a shuttle to take us further inside, and then made our way to our spot at the finish line. About 45 minutes later, Maddie crossed it! She finished at 5 hours and 32 minutes, but is accounting for about 30 minutes for water, snack and potty breaks. I couldn't be more proud of her, and I haven't even know her for that long!
We hung around there for a while, Maddie decided to head back to the hotel with her team, and we grabbed a shuttle back to the parking lot (hey, where was it when we needed it the first time?). While we were standing in line for the shuttle we saw a guy with a shirt on that said "I thought you said this was 2.62 miles." Noelle and I dropped Rosie at the airport and then headed to grab lunch and see Maddie after her race. The hotel they stayed in was great and we decided we should stay there next time! The plane ride home wasn't as uncomfortable as it was on the way down, so that made the evening a little more tolerable!
