We interrupt my regularly scheduled blogging to bring you this PSA.
(Who am I kidding? With my mom's big 50th coming up TOMORROW, my only semblance of a schedule right meow includes *stress* pull hair out* repeat* but I digress...)
Do you live near Closter New Jersey? That pretty much includes everyone in New York, right?
If so, do you - or does anyone you know - want a FREE Twin Size Modeno Bed from Costco?
I know this is totally random, but my family's company makes this furniture. (I may have mentioned it before...) A customer purchased it and then changed her mind and now we either find someone who wants it (FREE!!!) or we have to pay to ship it back ($$$) so our loss is your gain. All you would have to do is pick up the bed (new and in its original packaging) in Closter, NJ.
I would ask all my DUKIES, since graduation was pretty much an exodus to New York city, but I'm pretty sure at 25+ we should all be sleeping in a little bigger beds now :-)
This bed is perfect for a little one, so ask around and let me know.
I know, I know, I'm old... and lame... and exhausted.
But it's just too much right now. I can't do it.
A long long time ago I booked tickets for Joe and I to go here:
Because I knew we wouldn't want SUMMERto be over... and hoped to do maybe some of this:
... and some of that:
And then, last week, Joe came to me with this *I just kicked your puppy* look, and I knew it was gonna be bad.... and he said:
I really don't think we should go to Vegas... it's too much, we've been going non-stop... I don't wanna go.
And so I did what any girl would do who is blatantly not getting her way. I huffed and puffed and stamped my feet and pouted and blamed his work and his stress and blahblahblah.
I was a real gem.
And now, I am eating my words.
So I just thought I'd share that:
Joe was totally right. And I was wrong. He made the best (uni-lateral) decision ever.
And I can't promise those words will ever find their way here again either :-)
So this weekend.. I don't know what we're going to do. Hopefully a whole lot of nothing. Though to be honest, we already have a BBQ and a double header softball game and possibly camping (Joe's idea, of course) planned. That's a "relaxing" weekend for us. Just sayin...
The last month has just flown by! There were friends in town, weddings, concerts, dinners, softball games, happy hours, road-trips, trade-shows, birthday parties, doggy birthday parties...
... which equals a lot of FUN!
And also, a lot TO DO.
Never-ending piles of laundry, loads of dishes, suitcases to pack/unpack, doggy poop to scoop, groceries to buy, photos to upload ...blah. Blah. BLAH.
I just got back from a work trip to Minneapolis Tuesday night... BTW, I like Minneapolis. It's a strange city, I think. Strangely clean, for sure! Strangely quiet, too... I mean, for a city. They have above-ground walkways that connect all the buildings apparently for when its 40 below in the winter. They have an amazing pub called Brit's with lawn golf and movies on the roof, and the best Tuna Melt I've ever had. Oh, and they have a PEDAL PUB.
This is amazing. I want one.
The only thing is you actually have to pedal while drinking... on a bicycle seat. Or else it's just a stationary beer wagon, I guess. The whole exercising thing might get old... Nevertheless, I'm thinking of bringing these to Seattle. Just saying.
So anyway, last night was date night and we went to the Can Can and saw the Castaways cabaret show. If you're ever in Seattle, I highly recommend it. It's simply amazing.
Here's a trailer of sorts for the Can Can... probably not work appropriate, unless you're boss is cool with occasional pasties shots accompanied by uncensored Outkast.
Not only are their acts hilarious and entertaining, but some are divinely beautiful. This one has no pasties, I promise.
I think they could be on SYTYCD.
After the show and several drinkys (I always say "drinkys" ... I think it sounds much cuter than drinks, especially when combined with several) I insisted on street meat. This seems to be a pattern :-)
Nothing like a $5 Veggie Dog smothered in cream cheese, grilled onions and jalapenos to end the night. MMmmm... It always seems like a good idea at the time, anyway.
Well, Joe only had just enough cash, and being a gentleman, he said that's okay, he didn't want one anyway (of course he did!) and paid for mine. (That's Joe for ya... being all classy at a hot-dog stand!)
Well, I managed to convince the nice man making my dog to make Joe one too, and I didn't even have to give him my Idaho hat! Major WIN.
This weekend we have more big plans. We're heading to the Gorge to see Dave Matthews tomorrow. Nice little 10th grade throwback. I fully expect to see some finger banging action and lots of Vodka water bottles. I'm taking Ashley's word for it, since I have no memories of my own high school DMB experiences. Weird.
Then we're spending the rest of the weekend at Suncadia Resort for a dear friend's wedding. I've never been there, but Kelsey says it is amazing.
Obviously, we're bringing the dogs. Homie is ready to party!
Speaking of parties, did I mention I've been planning a BIG Birthday Party for my fabulous mom?
She's turning 50!!!
So I made this little invitation and sent it to a couple hundred people...
Well, the big day is coming up... and let me just say, this whole party planning shit is exhausting. I have a new found respect for all of y'all that plan your own weddings.
I'm a twenty-something girl living in Seattle with my amazing dog Bondi (and my other boy). A little more about me - I'm a total animal lover. I talk in my sleep, sometimes alot. I love funnies, and Tom Yum soup puts me in a good mood. I have too many scars to count, and that's fine by me.
