I'm Crushing your Head!

Hi.

Hope everyone is well.

Had a lovely weekend, got to hang with some
funny chicks on Saturday evening, saw 2 ex's (shit!),
went home and watched Manu Chao on tv and
just enjoyed myself.

Sunday, I finally took down the Christmas tree...
it wasn't as horrific as I THOUGHT it was going to be,
did some housework, played at the park with 3 cute boys
and had a yummy roasted chicken dinner.

In between it all, there were also episodes of Kids in the Hall
and one of my new favorites, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
I have to say, it was a great weekend.


This weekend is also going to be lots of fun~
one of my best girls will be in town and we're
going to have a blast... we ALWAYS do!

3 girls and a lady...

found this picture and had to post it...

me, my sister lydia and my aunt lisa...

Hello, Hello!

I got home from my work trip to Oahu
on Sunday and headed to the Frontier
so I could stuff my face with this:
I know.
Then later that evening I had Thai food
with the boys and was in a state of euphoria.
The next morning, I saw God.

ANYHOO...
I can't sleep on red-eyes because my ass
goes numb and that's a very uncomfortable
way to sleep, so I watched the in-flight flick,
Ghost Town, with the Office creator/genius,Ricky Gervais.
Check it out... although it's very predictable,
it's cute and witty. And Kristen Wiig's also in it.

I had a great time on my work trip.
I ate a lot (as always), worked, sang
@ Karaoke, saw sweet dolphins up close,
witnessed locals gutting fresh fish(2 diff
occasions!),took pictures like a tourist
and enjoyed the time away from the office.
It always helps when I get to travel with
a really nice girl who, although not nearly
as...bitchy(??) as I, can always join in on
the eye-rolling and shit talking that is,
lets face it, inevitable. Here are some pics
from the short week away:
the best shrimp truck on the island...
i ate ALL that shrimp and loved it.



...cute dolphin and beautiful Diamond Head...


... cook your own steak...
while enjoying one of the best. songs. ever.

then rock the house with a classic, "You Ain't Woman Enough".

me being tourist-y.






more later, gotta eat some Onion Soup.

also, one of our chickens, Hazel, is laying
mad amounts of eggs, 4 days in a row, but
that's a whole other post... stay tuned, chickenheads!

hey hey hey!

having a good time on the
island, hope all of you are
well!

going to the north shore today,
looking forward to it. and to
shrimp trucks. word.

loves!

black friday

has been relaxing and nice so far.

this and out for a walk with this:


mmm, mayo + turkey = gooood.

happy birthday

to craig!


(sorry about the grainy photo, this
was taken on our way out the door! hi ruby!)

a.d.i.d.a.d.

All Day I Dream About Don...
my latest obsession, Mad Men

unless you've been living under a rock,
then you probably know this is one of the
best shows on television right now. if you
haven't seen it, please do so. you're certain
to pick up a nasty smoking habit if you are
not currently on the nicotine.
incentive.
i know.

anyhoo...

i usually don't like getting outta bed
to start the work week, not sure anyone
does, but today wasn't so bad. i think
knowing that i get a whole day off on
thursday (with pay!) to cook and eat,
eat and cook helps. yes, a whole day.

i really enjoy waking up to feed the
chickens, also known as 'the girls'...
they are so weird. anyhow, they wake up
early and want to eat... a lot. they like
to talk and peck and run about all nimbly
bimbly. they sure are cute. and weird.

(my favorite girl, hazel.)

oh, and still no eggs.

also, i had posole for lunch today... yum.

(and you thought i couldn't be more random.)

check it...

thanks to the the alibi for the
lovely shout out...very cool.


that is all, carry on.

fo' shizzz

snoop + martha share a moment... be thankful.



(i am not condoning the use of drugs... hard drugs anyway.)

oh yeah.

Quantam of Solace opens this weekend...
I love you Daniel Craig.

Happy Monday~ the "I WANT THIS" edition.

Yes, the time of the year to think of (yourself) others and
the things they need (want) is creeping upon us (already?!).

In case any of you were wondering, here's a little list of
the things I need (want). Feel free to pick out something
for yourself..

1. This shotgun shell thermos.


2. To "run into" my (other) hot, Scottish boyfriend and
my (other) hot, older boyfriends while filing in N.M. ,
Ewan McGregor and George Clooney... this version of them:


3. Homemade grilled cheese sandwiches... like, 100 of them.


See, I'm fairly easy to please...
