It's Tuesday... no shit?! That means it's time for another edition of Random Tuesday Thoughts. If you don't know what they're about by now, get with the program, sister! Or go read Keely's blog to find out because I'm not going to tell you again (sounding like an angry mother)!
I've been MIA from blogland for a few days and it feels kinda weird. The funny thing is, I have a lot of ideas to write about, but I just haven't sat down to write anything. I may also have a teensy tinsy case of writer's block. I dunno, just sayin'. And yes, I said teensy tinsy.
Did anyone see the Season Premier of True Blood on Sunday? All I have to say is Wow! Even though it's straying pretty far from the book, I'm loving it! If you haven't seen it yet, don't read this next couple of lines... I'm sooo happy they didn't get rid of Lafayette! Not that I know what's gonna happen to him, but I'm glad he's still there! I can't wait to see what happens with Jessica (the new vampire) and Maryanne (who the hell knows what she is)!
My allergies are starting to get to me. I've been sneezing quite a bit more than normal lately. Just sneezed again...And my eyebrow is twitching.
I didn't get a chai at the Starbucks today... I decided to go old school and ordered a peppermint mocha. I think the baristas may have staggered a little after I ordered. I told them I was trying to keep them on their toes.
I've drank a lot over the last four days. Drinking on Friday. Drinking on Saturday. Sober on Sunday. Drinking on Monday.
Weekend recap: Friday was Wikiball's Birthday Party at her apartment. Paul & Britt came over and Mr. Martinez kept us entertained all evening. Too bad some of the girls couldn't make it... you missed out!
Saturday night was my friend Lindsay's Bachelorette Party. There'll be a post in and of itself for that one... can anyone say "Skanky Hos" (not our party, but everyone else at the bar)?
Sunday was a chill day simply because I didn't go to bed until 4 AM and needed to catch up on some sleep. That afternoon I took Tristan on a date for his birthday. Yes, he's 7, but I've been taking the kids on "dates" to the movies for their birthday. We went to see Up and it was really cute. It was a little slow, but we liked it. And I just remembered I'm a horrible Auntie and didn't do a shout-out post for his birthday... I'll get right on it!
Last night was my friend Lindsey's (another Lindsey) Birthday dinner. We went to Eva's and it was really good. Good cheap food... what more can you ask for?! The restaurant is located on 317 S. Main Street in Salt Lake, right between Shogun and Cheers To You, and definitely worth checking out! Girls in attendance include Kris Johnson, Di Bradley (yes we call them both by their full names), Lindsey, Holly, Auri and myself and we had a great time.
I'm so excited for SYTYCD this week. I'm sad about the two who got sent home last week, but oh well, that's the natural progression of the show. Remember how I said I love Adam Shankman? Well I'm now following him on Twitter... I love it!
I didn't take very many pictures over the weekend. In fact, I don't know that I even got the camera out on Friday. I'm losing my touch.
I'm starting back at the gym this week. Time to get my tushie in gear. I'll let you know how things go, like maybe doing a weekly update... more for myself than y'all. Feel free to give me positive feedback cuz lord knows I can use it... but if you start hounding me, I'll bite you.
I actually enjoy working out. Believe it or not, I used to weigh 100 lbs less than I do now. Yeah, I'm that person... I gained that much weight. And it sucks my ass. But I'm ready to do this on my terms. I'm excited to get back into spinning. I used to spin 3 days a week and I miss it. That's my goal for the summer!
I need a nap... I'm effing tired and I couldn't get out of bed this morning. On any given day, I'm asleep from the time I go to bed until about 3 PM. I'm wide awake from then until I go to bed. I've often thought I need to get an evening job.... Corporate America doesn't do evening hours.
I have to make dinner tonight and I don't want to. When I cook an entire meal it takes me upwards of 3 hours to make everything, serve it, and then clean it all up. Cooking shouldn't be so damn time consuming. Argh! I think I'm going to try a Lemon-Herb grilled chicken tonight. We'll see how it turns out. I was thinking to make lemon rice with it... too much lemon?
And returning to the subject of vampires, go read Tia's post to the crazy girls who won't leave RPattz alone!
Just for the record... when I add pictures of hot chicks for the guys, they don't say anything, so no more hot chicks for you!
I love RPattz. Or as Noelle calls him, PRattz. I don't care whatcha call him, but call him hot... because that's what he is. I keep finding all these hot pics of him and want to include them in posts, but don't. So I thought I'd dedicate yet another post to Mr. Hottie Man. 
Oh, and I also started Eclipse for the 2nd time last night. I'm happy to have it back in my life. I think I started resenting the 9th Sookie book b/c it took me away from my Twilight... and right now, that's about the only thing that will make me happy. Pretty sad, huh?
At the rental agency w decided to upgrade our car since there were three of us instead of two and opted for the Chrylser 300. I officially want one now. I loved it. So we hopped in the car with Sasha the Garmin Whore and headed for the hood. See, what happened was I looked up the nearest Avenue store in San Diego and it ended up being in the hood. I think we were the only white people within a 15 mile radius. Kind of entertaining. We did a little shopping and then headed back toward the city to grab dinner. Who would have thought dinner would be so difficult to come by in San Diego on a Friday night?
I suggested going to Cane's for dinner. It's a great place right on the beach that I go to almost every time I go down there. We walked in at 9:30 and they said they were closing. From there we headed toward Pacific Beach and stopped at Rose's hotel for her to check in on the way. All of the places on Garnet Avenue were packed, and the ones that weren't packed closed early. Hello.. Friday Night. San Diego. Seriously? After being extremely frustrated we consulted with Sasha for the nearest Chili's figuring it would be open late. We got within a few blocks and realized it was next to the Sports Arena where the Dane Cook show had just gotten out. Nice. So then we sat in traffic for another 20 minutes trying to get across the GD effing road! 
The three of us agreed to meet for breakfast at Kono's the next morning at 10. We'd either pick up Rose on the way, or make her walk. Noelle and I were woken up by Tanner's mother screaming at him. Who the hell knows who Tanner was. All we knew was if he didn't start obeying his mother, one of us was going out there to beat him! And sadly, when we opened the curtains to figure out who the hell Tanner was and why his mother wouldn't stop yelling at him, we realized we were in for a gloomy day. GD Effing Shit, man!
We started off at Lombard Street. I really thought it would be longer and steeper, but it was cool, nonetheless. Check it out if you ever go to San Fran. Definitely worth seeing!
After Lombard Street we headed over to Grace Cathedral. The place is huge and absolutely gorgeous. I'm not sure what the story is behind it, but you can ask someone...
Noelle and Rose making themselves dizzy trying to get through the maze. They both made it out alive!
A fountain in the courtyard of the church and some flowers from the garden 
After that we took the Trolley down to Fisherman's Wharf to check things out. We were supposed to meet the rest of the group in Sausalito around 2, but that fell through and is a whole other story. We froze our asses off at the wharf.
We took the ferry back to San Fran and had to sit upstairs (where we were exposed in the wind) because the smell on the two decks below was unbearable.
This is Coit Tower
Back at the hotel we met up with Rose and Michelle. They had plans with Jen & Joe for sushi. Noelle and I decided to skip it since I'm allergic to shellfish and they didn't have much else to choose from on the menu. 
Noelle and I ended up going to the Oriental Pearl for dinner. It was good, but I'd probably try other places before I'd go back. After dinner we were going to meet up with the rest of the group for drinks but ended up chillin' in our room and watching TV. Very exciting, I know. 
Random picture of a few docks full of seals. Kinda funny!
