Boobies

I was at Auri's last night and had some interesting conversations with the kids... (the kids call me Tata, just in case you're wondering)...

Aidan: Tata, I have to tell you something and you're probably not going to like it.

Me: Oh, yeah, what is it, buddy?

Aidan: I'm not inviting you to my birthday party.

Me: Ok, fine, be that way.

Later...

Taryn was sitting on my lap. She pulled open the neck on my shirt and looked inside...

Taryn: What are those?

Me: Those are my boobies.

I then pointed at her chest...

Me: And those are your boobies.

Taryn: But my boobies are TINY!

The First Official Toe Post

Here it is... the first official Toe Post. Auri and I decided to chronicle the journey of our toes and share it with you. I know some people have a problem with feet, so feel free to skip right over these. If not, please enjoy the artwork!

I did Auri's toes last night. Mine were done about two weeks ago and aren't nearly as cute as hers are... hers are dark, mine are pink. We'll share mine with you the next time they are done!

Random Tuesdayness - Not So Random

Good Hell, is it already Tuesday again? Damnit, where does the time go? I don't know, either. If you like the random, go visit The Un Mom for all the rules and regulations, and grab her button while you're at it. You'll both like it, I promise....

Anyway, welcome to the 283rd edition of Random Tuesdayness. Maybe it's more like the 17th installment or something. I don't know, I got sick of counting.

Remember how I told you my bro was in Malibu for the 4th? Yeah, well guess who came to the party? Reggie Miller (former NBA star), Topher Grace (from That '70s Show), Jeremy Piven (from Entourage) and Pamela Anderson, to name a few. I officially hate him now. He can suck it.

I bought the first season of True Blood and the fifth season of Entourage yesterday. Auri and I watched Entourage last night while we did toes. I either forgot, or didn't watch closely enough the episode where the boys go to Joshua Tree and take shrooms. We were laughing so hard.... I almost choked while taking a drink of water... not good. Anyway, if you haven't seen the show, you should. I love it.

I had a great weekend...

Thursday: went to the pool, got eyes checked, had moles removed

Friday: went to Auri's that night and hung out

Saturday: went to a party at Debbie & Marshall's, drank too much, puked early Sunday morning

Sunday: went to Maddie's going-away party (she's leaving for South Africa for a semester abroad)

This isn't turning out to be very random.

I think Auri and I are going to start doing toy reviews with the toys we currently have. If anyone wants to send us anything to review, go right ahead. We'll gladly take donations. Is there any interest from y'all? Let me know.

I am going down to Torrey this weekend and I'm so excited. We get to stay at The Rock House. I'm sure the name will make more sense after I've been inside it. Noelle bought a blow-up pool for us to lay out with as there is no air conditioning. I may die, but I'll be enjoying myself if I do. I'll be sure to document the trip and bring back pics and stories!

I have to pee...

I need a new laptop bag. I'm thinking of checking out REI... someone I saw at the office had a really cute one from there. Any suggestions? I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. So annoying.

My stitches are still itchy. I get them taken out on Thursday. I can't wait!

I'm in the middle of reading Eclipse again. Actually I'm almost done... but my hell, I love it even more the 2nd time around. I need, not want, but actually need a man like Edward in my life. I know everyone else does too, but I thought I'd put that out there.

Did anyone watch SYTYCD last week? If you didn't, find a way to watch it... or come over to my house and watch it with me. Kayla and Kupono were paired with Sonya Tayeh for their contemporary dance last week. The dance was a vampiric struggle between life and death and it was done to one of the songs from the Twilight Soundtrack, Eyes on Fire by Blue Foundation. I flipped out... it was awesome!

Get ready for a toe post, I've got one for you... it's coming up next!

Itchy Stitches

What can I do for itchy stitches? I'm keeping them covered with my Hello Kitty bandaids and Neosporin, but good God, they itch like a sonofabitch!!!

In related news, I'm escorting my BFF Noelle (not to be confused with my HLP Auri) to the doctor this afternoon. She hasn't been for a check-up in a VERY long time and her sister and I have finally convinced her to go. I finally found a doctor I like and told her she'd like her, too. After a little prodding, she made an appointment with the caveat that I had to accompany her for moral support. No problemmo... that's easy enough!

I have had a totally crazy last few days. Lots of parties and hanging out and fun that was had. I've got pictures and stories to share!

Such a Busy Day

I had quite the busy day, yesterday. I took the day off for some doctors appointments and I'm so happy I did. I started my day off at the pool with Noelle. Luckily we got there before the storm came. The water was nice and warm and it wasn't too blistering hot outside. My first appointment was with the eye doctor and I ended up getting some new glasses. These are the ones I'm getting. Unfortunately, they have to order the lenses so I'll have to wait a week to get them. Aren't they cute?! The second visit was with my regular doctor to have two moles removed. She stitched me up as well so I hopefully the scars won't be too big. That's not blood in the pic, those are the stitches. Kinda creeps me out. I got a few text from Zak (my bro) later in the afternoon. He said he was chillin' on the beach. The bastard is in Malibu with his buddy, Jake. Anyway, these are the pics from the house. I'm so jealous. He said he got to meet Laird Hamilton yesterday. Whatever!!!

Jake knows this guy named Don who owns a beach house in Malibu. I guess Jake's mom helped Don sell a condo a while ago and he kind of took Jake under his wing. Jake works for him when he needs things done and he totally takes care of him. Every year, Don throws a big party at his beach house for the 4th and my bro got to go this year.

Don is in his '70s, I think, and is a total hard-ass. I've never met him, but from what I've heard, he's a really cool person. Don, Laird Hamilton, one of the guys from Rage Against the Machine, and one other dude signed up to do the Bike Across America race in June. One of them got injured and they couldn't finish (from what Zak told me) but I guess the ones who could ride, finished the race anyway. I guess they went to dinner last night at The Sage Room in Malibu. Zak said he had the best lasagna he's ever had. While they were eating, Cheech Marin and Dustin Hoffman came in to eat. Crazy, I know.

I'm going to insist they take me with them next year or else I'll throw a fit. Wouldn't you?

Pub Crawwwwwllll...

Earlier this week the girls and I went to the Pub Crawl to celebrate the death of the Private Club Membership Law. I mentioned it in an earlier post, so if you didn't come, it's your own damn fault! This is a post of pictures with minimal explanations!!!

We started off at Piper Down and each had an Irish Car Bomb and Chocolate Cake Shots along with some dinner... we try to be smart when we drink!

I tried to get pics of each of the bars but it was pouring rain when we got to Gracie's so this is the best one I got.

At Gracie's the girls grabbed beers and I had a Washington Apple.
After Gracie's, we walked over to the Sandbar (it's the old Pierpont Cantina)

Noelle and I had a CoronaThis is a chandelier of Corona bottles... I want one in my house!

On the way to take the pic, Aurs was stopped by these guys and forced to take their pic. I don't know who they are... do you?

Who does that look like? RPattz? Yeah, I thought so, too. But it wasn't. Damn! He's still sexy.
Some dude outside was selling these ginormous fake flowers... a bit strange.

After the Sandbar we walked across the street to Lumpy's and had a beer. From there we walked over to Poplar Street Pub for some more drinks and some more food.

By the end of the night we never ended up taking the bus, but we did manage to hit 5 bars... and didn't have to pay cover to get into any of them!!! We had a blast! Thanks for accompanying me, girls!!!

It's My Friday - Can You Handle More of the Random?

This weekend is the 4th of July... Saturday to be exact. America's birthday. Today is Canada Day and I think it's kind of funny that our country's birthdays are three days apart (I only really know it's Canada Day because Captain Dumbass and Candace told me so, and I adore them). Since the 4th falls on a Saturday, we get Friday off. At the last minute I decided to take Thursday off as well so I'll have a four day weekend! I do have two doc appointments tomorrow, so the day off isn't all for fun and games!I love sitting by the pool in the summer... And I would love to sit by this pool, but I'll take Noelle's, any day. There is just something so relaxing about lounging around in the sun, taking a dip to cool off, and reading a good book. A cold drink is always nice, too. I'll be sunning tomorrow and I can't wait. This time I have sunscreen and I'll be sure to slather it all over!

So yeah... Auri and I are going to start doing Toe Posts... or are we starting a Toe Blog? I think we should just do matching posts when we do each others' toes. Dude, help me out on this one...In honor of the toes, here is a pic of mine this week. Auri didn't do them but that's just because I had to get one of mine fixed, so Tori painted and bedazzeld them for me (I have acrylic on my big toes b/c they break all the time and I like symmetry). Aren't they fab? This was actually a retake of the original pic... when I looked closely at the first one, I had a piece of string from the shoe hanging over my big toe and it looked like a giant black hair... My toes are not hairy!I was looking for a picture of a swimming pool and came across this site. I cannot stop laughing, and I don't even like cats. I'm sitting in my office silently cracking up. I'm laughing so hard there are tears running down my face! Everytime I look at that picture I start laughing uncontrollably!!!

It seems like everyone in blogland participates in multiple theme days during the week. As you know, I play along with Random Tuesday Thoughts (RTT), but that's about as far as I go. I've contemplated this, and I think it's just cuz I like to talk a lot! What I'm saying is I've got so many thoughts passing through my head that I have to write them down. And God knows I forget everything if it's not written down. So I hope y'all can handle the random. It's all I've got these days!
