Friday Randoms

FYI, random with an s on the end which is randoms is totally a word, in case you were wondering.

Here’s the dill, I like to type words the way I speak them.

Well, that’s not altogether true or I’d type pAnk instead pink and wAWt instead what. I mean, some of the stuff I say is really out there and strange to look at when typed out.

Moving on.

Again, here’s the dill.

I took this picture on my recent trip to Las Vegas and Tucson with my iPhone and the ProHDR App.





I posted it to the FB. That’s slang for fist bump. Kidding! It’s Facebook, yo.

Anyway, I digress. I posted it to the FB and one of my online yet also real life in person friends commented that it looks like bacon.

And you know what?! It totally does!

Here’s my problem with this statement.

Ok, I have a few problems with it.

1. I love bacon.
2. How did I, the self professed lover of bacon that I am, not notice that The Painted Desert looks like layer upon layer of savory strips of bacon?!
3. This is unacceptable!
4. I love bacon.

I would just like to state for the record that loving bacon is not a problem it’s just a fact of my life.





Now, I know this photo does NOT look like food. Especially food I'm head over heels in love with.

I feel better now.






Happy weekend!

Pontoons and Kitty Cats

I don’t know why, but I can’t get enough of this song. I catch myself singing mmmm, motorboatin’ to myself all the time. Haha!

I need a pontoon boat with a slide and lounge chairs. Yes, yes I do.




And what would singing about pontoon boats be without a sweet kitty cat to gaze upon?





Really, really boring, that's what!






Happy Monday, all!

Currently

Loving: This drink dispenser that looks like a giant mason jar. It makes my iced tea look positively southern! Minus the sugar of course. Who sweetens perfectly good tea anyway? Not this girl.






Reading: I can’t believe I’m admitting to this, but, yes, I read 50 Shades of Grey. I’m actually halfway through 50 Shades Darker right now. I must say it’s better than the first one. I felt like the first one was sex, sex, sex, some story, sex, sex, more story, sex, sex, sex, sex, a little more story, and let’s just end it because well, the book just kind of ended. Great trick EL James! It made me want to read the second to find out what happened. She got me, hook, line, and sinker.



Watching: The Olympics. What else? Seriously, though, I thought I wouldn’t watch it at all, but it’s like bacon, once you take that first bite there’s no stopping until the whole package is gone. I’ve always enjoyed watching the gymnastics, men and women, and I used to watch all of the competitions any time they were on throughout the year, but I don’t do that much anymore. I guess I finally realized that my now 30 year old body will never be that limber and flippy and twisty so watching them was like re-killing my inner dreams over and over again. Just kidding! I’m too busy watching the DIY Network. Anyway, I thought I would just watch the gymnastics, but then I watched swimming and then I watched basketball and then I watched rowing and then I watched synchronized diving. I know, right?! I was in shock too! Synchronized diving!! Have you have ever heard of a such a thing? Men in skimpy underpants jumping off a platform twisting and flipping all over the place in tandem?! I’ve died and gone to Heaven! I don’t know what it is about this nutso sport, but I. Am. Hooked.






Anticipating: Football season! I cannot wait! Officially football for my beloved Cowboys starts August 1st, but the first game isn’t until September 1st. It’s going to be a wild ride!




Listening: I haven’t been listening to anything in particular lately. Just the radio on my way to and from work. Although, I will say I can’t seem to get Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe out of my head. Perhaps because of videos like this:

And this:

Probably more so on that second one. I mean, they are Abercrombie models…




Planning: What am I not planning? I swear my “to do” list grows each day. Maybe it would help if I finished projects before I start a new one? I’ll try to work on that.




Working on: Projects! Haha. I still have walls to paint, a desk to refinish, a rock garden to build…the list goes on. If it weren’t 110 degrees outside all the time I might feel more inclined to actually do something. Who am I kidding? I’m slow and I procrastinate. Maybe I’ll be done by the time I’m 40.







Wishing: That I had this utterly divine chimichanga in front of me right now. It was yum.


Thank you to Danielle at Sometimes Sweet for the blogging inspiration!

30 Years

Today is my 30th birthday. Happy Birthday ME!





 Here’s how I feel about it:

1. I feel the same today as I did yesterday.

2. However, I feel different today than I did one year ago, but not so different that I can really tell.

3. Did that make sense?

4. My co-workers gave me a super cute card, fresh fruit, and sang happy birthday to my old soul.





5. Actually, they sang happy birthday to me twice. Once last week and once today. I feel so special!

6. Turning 30 is a big deal.

7. I think.

8. I’m waiting for something drastic to happen.

9. Like a droopy chin.

10. Or a saggy butt.

11. So far, I’m safe.

12. My Boy Toy (am I allowed to call him that? My magic 8 ball says “signs point to yes”) is taking me to dinner tonight. Texas Roadhouse. Steak = A Happy Birthday Girl.





 13. I wonder if there are rules for being 30?

14. If so, I bet I’ve been breaking them.

15. A lot of people seem to make a “Do before I’m this “age” list,” but I didn’t do that.

16. My only goal was to buy a house and I did that aaaaaages ago.

17. Apparently, according to the entire rest of the world, I should be married and have some kids.

18. Well, I’m not and I don’t.

19. I do have a Boy Toy, though, as we established in item #12.

20. I also have furry children which totally counts, in my personal professional opinion.





 21. Are my knees going to start knocking together?

22. Is my hair going to turn completely gray overnight?

23. Am I going to start wearing high waist-ed pants?

24. Will all of my jeans magically shrink up in the leg about 5 inches?

25. Am I going to wake up to giant craters and canyons in my cheeks?

26. Am I going to get the mail from across the street with no bra on?

27. Wait! I totally already do that last one!

28. Was that TMI?

29. I’m sorry.

30.Crazy girl in the house.




30 is grand! It’s totally the new 20! I’m so young and care-free! I think I’ll go take a nap.

I’m Back!

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness! I took quite the break, let me tell ya. I just didn’t have much to say I guess, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t done anything since February. I’ve been a busy, busy bee, for sure!


Ok, so I’ve mostly been eating food and watching TV, but that still counts as busy in my world. Haha!





Oh, NCIS, how I love thee…let me count the ways… <3 <3 <3







<3 <3 Bacon <3 <3


TV and bacon. Does it really get any better?




Anywho, remember when I said I was going to paint my living area? Well, I totally started it! Along with my lovely assistants, I’ve painted 3 walls. Only a bazillion more to go!







I’ve also been spending a lot of time, and when I say a lot I mean basically every waking minute, with this guy. And I’m not talking about the fish.


He makes me crazy happy. And I’m still not talking about the fish.







Mom and I have taken up walking. We’re both a little jiggly if you know what I mean, but we love the bacon so perhaps the walking will keep us from becoming more jiggly. Hopefully.







Oh my…that’s all I can say.





Until next time!



Eat some bacon, it’s good for you.
