Ten On Tuesday

Amber has decided to take a leave from blogging & all social networking so I'm back on my own again for this link-up. You know, just in case you all were wondering where she's been at.

1. I'm so excited about The Killing coming back next month! Also, have you guys seen the new trailer for Dexter? Deb looks like she's turned into some sort of junkie whore. What a mess.

2. Sinus pressure/pain is a bitch. I'm currently sitting at my desk, mouth breathing, rubbing one side of my sinus and have a tissue sticking out the other nostril. As sexy as this sounds, I'm grumpy as fuck so people better back the fuck off.

3. Did you guys watch the Billboards Music awards? Well, I didn't but I did see this gif showing Taylor Swift being a total hater when Selena & the Beiber are being all mushy. There's always that friend, right?

4. Very little has made me laugh lately but this shit...hilarious!

look at her little legs kick! lol

5. July (I think) will be my 5th year of blogging. I don't know if this chapter of my life is ready to close but I'm fresh out of ideas & the impulse to write or rant is somewhat gone. The thing is, I'm not ready to let go of it, or you guys just yet.

6. There's nothing better than some good old fashion shitty daytime talk shows to make you feel better about your life. Seriously, how many guys did you fuck in a one month period to not know who the child's father is? Close your g-damn legs!

7. I've always found Mythbusters to be pretty boring. You know, all that smart science stuff = snorefest, but this just made the show so much better.

8. Way too much money was spent this weekend. One of these expenditures was me getting back my XM radio. I know I said I didn't need it but I really really missed it & it makes my (almost) 2 hour commute to & from work so much easier.

9. I don't get the big hype about Nutella but this is exactly what I imagine when people say they "love it!"

10. I'm so behind on blog reading & commenting. I suck, and I'm sorry. But it seems like every time I get back on track something happens to get off track, like a stupid head cold. Or laziness.

Random Thursday: My Dream House...

Good morning all you fabulous people! Tomorrow's Friday, which means it's also payday and I just found a Pulp Fiction on Netflix...it's gonna be a good day.

Hopefully you're here cause you're joining us in today's topic but if not, I'm just glad you're here. So, please, stick around.

Like most everything else, I waited til last night to start this post and once I got onto Pinterest this post was shot to shit. I forgot how big of a time suck that site was. So yeah, that's why this post is going up a little late. On the plus side, I found some pretty rad ideas for my "dream home".

1. Bedrooms - one bedroom for every person in the house, plus 2 guest bedrooms for when family visits.
2. Kitchen -  top notch appliances, huge island in the middle, double ovens, lots of storage, and tons of counter space. If it could come with my very own Rosie, I'd be in heaven.
3. Office - I dont plan to work from home (this girl gets cabin fever quickly) but I do want my very own office that I can paint a pretty seafoam green & have white furniture in.
4. Home Theater - not just another family room. Nuh-uh a REAL theater with projector & reclining leather chairs, soda fountain machine, popcorn machine & stocked candy bar. Hell, I'd probably end up living in that room alone.
5. Garage(s) - two-two car garages located on the opposite end of one another so Rusty can have one to put all his tools & man toys in, I can have the other one for my car(s) and there's very little chance of his junk getting into my garage.
6. Foyer - since seeing Charlotte's beautiful apartment foyer in SATC, I've always wanted one. Someone would definitely have to come in & decorate it for me cause I've got zero style but whatevs.
 

Swimming pool - in just this layout cause it's fucking perfect.

not pictured (cause I forgot to get images)
Sun Room - with lots of windows where I can go into & relax while I read on my giant comfy couch or giant hanging swing or both, like this one.
Porch - not just any porch either, a big beautiful wrap around porch that goes from one end of the house to another.

Join the fun, show us your "dream home" and then link up here so we can check it out.

Ten On Tuesday

1. The temps have been in the three-digits up in here. I'm not a fan. Especially when I get in my car & burn my butt/lower back cause my dumb ass still hasn't gotten my windows tinted.

2. This is totally me. Freakin' fatty mcfatterson.

3. Rusty & I started a Harry Potter marathon on Saturday. I had high hopes that we'd get through all of them. Ha, what a fucking joke. He made it through 75% of the first one (he's seen them TONS of times, unlike myself) and I almost made it through the second. Forgot how long those damn movies were.

4. Went to the local library this weekend & spent about two hours there just browsing. Nothin' like the smell of old books to make you smile.

5. Finding a painting to go over the couch is turning into a giant pain in the ass. Why does everything have to be so damn expensive? I mean, what happened to starving artists selling their shit for pennies?

6. How in fucks sake do you NOT know what a cat looks like?! Some people shouldn't be allowed to make simple life decisions. Ever.

7. I've been giving serious thought to starting up a SoCal bloggers group/blog. I know it's gonna be all kinds of work but I've got a lot of down time right now so, yeah. Mostly I just want to meet up with other local peeps...I need friends yo.

8. I don't even have kids but I find this so fascinating & handy. If you're a mom, you should totally do this.

9. Yellow gummy bears are gross. They should make packages that only come with red, green and white ones. AKA: the best ones. With that said, I just dropped a green one on my cubicle floor, picked off the limt and ate that sucker.

10. Does anyone else remember this song?  It's a pretty messed up but I remember singing it with my friends in 6th grade. Totally epic. Hm...maybe I should try remaking this awesome video...?

Monday Morning Ups & Downs

I've been running really low on the blog topic ideas lately, including this morning. So instead of going with something well thought of (which I don't have) I've decided to go with my gut & post about the stuff that's already managed to make my Monday morning both suck & be somewhat awesome.

All my favorite ABC shows have been renewed! I didn't doubt for a second  that Revenge (holy shit, that season finale was so awesome!) or Scandal would be renewed but I'm glad Castle made it. Nathan Fillion is hilarious and so damn cute with all his wittiness.  

I don't know what is about me swooning over dorky dudes but I totally just crushed even harder for John Krasinski. Dude's got serious moves...better than Jagger's.

These two were cancelled. Booo! I swear poor Matthew Perry can't catch a g-damn break. Go On was hilarious, definitely a bad move on your part NBC. And, TNT...oh you fucked up big time by cancelling this amazing show. Southland is like the only good show they have. Dummies.

Random Thursday: Confessional - Tell Us A Secret

Another week, another topic...but at least it's hours from Friday yo! There's nothing going on this weekend but for some reason I'm pretty excited about it. Guess it's just the fact I don't have to sit at my boring old desk & nod as my supervisor awkwardly talks to me about her cat.

Alrighty, lets move on to this weeks topic:

Ok, don't make fun, I'm totally trusting you all with these embarrassing secrets.

Up until a few years ago (yes, I was an adult) I used to think this sign meant there was an amusement park nearby. No lie, I used to pass them on the freeway and think "holy hell, there sure is a lot of fun stuff to do around these parts." I know, kind of lame but pretty damn funny.

*bows head in shame* I watched this crap ass fake-supposed-to-be-real sex tape.  Not only does she pathetically call her professional porn star co-star "baby", "babe", and asks him to "cuddle" throughout the movie but she sucks at sex. Also, when the cover claims you take it up the pooper we expect you to suck it up & take it like a champ, not some sissy who can only handle a few centimeters. Farrah needs to stop fighting her welfare future cause it's totally gonna happen.

Happiness...

I read a tweet this morning that asked, is happiness attainable?

Which of course got me thinking, "am I happy?" Truth is, I am...most of the time. If I were told to break it up into percentages then I'd have to go with I'm happy maybe 85% of the time.

That's not so bad, right? Right?

Happiness comes in waves. It's supposed to, I think. Otherwise you're ass will be walking around all day looking like a damn smiling fool and people will think you're on drugs. Not the good kind either.

Growing up I'd hoped to one day have true love that brought me nothing but happiness, family that only brought me joy and a job that I never wanted to leave because I loved it so much. I didn't get it all (I'd leave my job in heartbeat for something that pays more) but I'm definitely happy with what I did end up with.

Without the bad I can't appreciate all the good. So today, try to appreciate the little happy moments and the small things that make you happy instead of concentrating on all the shitty parts.

Ten on Tuesday

1. The worst thing about calling in sick to work is having to deal with coworkers asking what was wrong with you when you're back. What happened to just saying "hope you're feeling better" and leaving it at that? You're my coworkers, not my friends. Butt out.

2. This is exactly what I tell people. Especially when they try sharing my damn food.

3. Anne Hathaway as blonde? Yeah, it's not the worst I've seen but I'm not sure I'm diggin it. And that dress...oy.

4. Finally got around to making that "date jar" I've been talking about for months. Still have to paint the jar so we can't see the date ideas but I overall it was a fun project for both Rusty & I. Truth is it'll probably end up on a shelf in the closet but at least it'll be there if we ever find ourselves bored as hell.

5. I've recently become addicted to this show. And seeing hot ass Joshua Jackson in it has only brought back the love I felt for him in Dawson's Creek. Damn you Pacey, you were supposed to stay with me not Joey!

6. Teen Moms Farrah's "it's supposed to be real life but I got a professional production team to film it" sex video is officially out.  Not gonna lie, I'm a little curious about the final cut cause her co-star is a pretty "big" star.

7. This is totally Rusty when he runs out of Dr. Pepper. Dude is a total drama queen when he doesn't get his soda fix.

8. Bahaha, yes!

9. XM radio is no longer part of my daily commute. This makes me a very sad panda. Stupid budget...why do you have to be so little?

10. The bitch in me is being pushed aside by the optimist in me today.

Random Thursday: Spring Apparel...

It's almost Friday guys; you can have a few seconds to jump up & down at that idea. Best part is tomorrow's payday which means I can stop using the fast food napkins I've collected and finally go buy some. Times are tough yo.

Moving on. Here's this week's topic.

If you read Monday's post then you pretty much know this topic wasn't the easiest for me. Truth is it taught me two things; 1- I need to stay as far away from a camera as possible (no photography business in my future) and 2 - my ass needs to start hitting that gym again. As uncomfortable as I am posting these novice photos, I'm doing it cause I said I would and I can always deny it's me later, since I chopped my head off these suckers anyway. Yeah, smart thinking.

Not my favorite dress but it does the job when I'm on the job. Think it's the high waist line I dont care much for.

Bought this dress last summer but have yet to actually wear it out. Congratulations, you guys are the first to see me in it! Also, these are the most comfortable wedges ever.

Havent worn this skirt in years but found it in the bottom of my drawer & thought "what the hell...why not".

And by "everyday" I really mean everyday. If I didn't have to wash these shorts every now & then I'd never take them off. Same goes for the chucks, see how filthy those fuckers are?

Can you tell I have a fascination with pockets? What can I say, I hate hauling around a clunky ass purse to just store my cell phone & chapstick in.

Ten On Tuesday

1. Fact: I find vacuuming very relaxing; could probably do it every couple of hours. My OCD has found something new to be cuckoo about.

2. I'm thinking I should probably put one of those travel size deodarants in my glove box because sometimes, after I'm at work, I realize I forgot to put some on after the shower. Talk about walking around all day like a damn penguin. A stinky penguin.

3. What. The. Scary. Fuck. Is. This?! Police Chief Brody was right, stay out of the water yo.

*Mr. know-it-all-Rusty has informed me that this monster is real & has a name. Ick!

4. True. And those are the days you want to stay very very far away from me.

5. Some people thrive on being in the middle of drama. They sometimes go as far as creating it just so they can bitch about it...these people are annoying as fuck. But also oh so fun to watch; like a drunk girl you know's gonna fall but still don't help cause it'll be a really great laugh.

6. There's a place & time to bust a move. In the public bathroom, on the counter is not one of them.

7. Rusty's started playing D&D again. Needless to say, our apartment is raided by a group of nerds every Saturday night. Yes, pity me. So if any of you guys are up for a video chat on Sat nights, let me know cause I got nothin' else going on.

8. Sometimes all it takes to make me happy is a big ass Dr. Pepper with tiny bits of crunchy ice. It's totally the little things peeps.

9. No one can ever say I'm not open to things cause I'll try just about everything once. Only thing is, I'll find a way to turn it around to suit me.

10. *Spoiler Alert* Game of Thrones - This was possibly my favorite episode of the the season. I love that Jamie & Brienne are getting to know one another. And the truth about why Jamie killed the king...crazy.
