Little Black Book...

The woes of dating had me thinking a hault was necessary.. especially with the many bozos I've encountered :) But I've kept up with it, "can't assume every guy is the same" and like Jenn-Jenn said, "gotta kiss a few frogs to find my prince". Not that finding my Soulmate is top notch on my to-do list I just haven't dismissed it completely :) Nonetheless, I've met a couple of awesome beaus.. one I'm keeping a guard up on because I think there might be some sparkle left with his old time gal. That circumstance I'm all too familiar with myself. :) But he is super awesome.. every time we hang out it's fun and laughter, compliments galore but not the annoying over done type :) So we'll just wait and see what happens here, no expectations just fun and friendship... (FYI can't wait to see CrazyStupidLove July 29th.. Jenn, let's plan a ladies movie night :)) Guy #2, he's funny, fun and less of party animal which I definitely need in my life, down for adventure that doesn't include bar hopping!! Which is more of what I'm leaning to.. but I am a magnet for unavailable men.. So as guy #1 may still have a strong connection with his old girl, Guy#2 couldn't be more unavailable for me.. but he still makes time and adores my company and I his so I'm living in the moment....

As for my move, it will be just a temporary vacation.. Arizona is so HOTTT!! lol.. I love summer but not a fan of Hell Fire!! lol So a temporary vacation with great company, my family, is necessary and I can clear my head a bit and not focus so much on anything but me!! :) My spirit is a million times sweeter and I'm looking forward to a better me!!

Movie Title Quote: (Love this one!!!!)
"I Believe we write out own stories and each time we think we know the end, we dont. Perhaps luck exists somewhere between the world of planning, the world of chance, and from the peace that comes from knowing, that you just can't know it all. life's funny that way once you let go of the wheel, you might end up right where you belong"

The Wedding Planner...

So it's been quite a bit since I've posted anything, and anything positive for that matter has been difficult to think of, so I figured waiting till greatness came to mind or happened would make it all the better :)
A couple of weeks ago was Wedding #2 and what a success it was :) My longtime friend married his longtime girl and they make the perfect pair!!! :) I grew up with Georgie, his mother is my momma's best friend from high school. We've been through everything and I couldn't imagine not being a part of his biggest and special day :) I had the honor of coordinating their reception. I think I was asked more because I'm a bossy bitch but nevertheless I was honored all the same :) The venue was a rec. center with a stage and a big auditorium. It had to be huge, we had over 300 guests. I show to the venue after the long Mass at St. Edwards just to make sure all of the vendors were in line and the table settings, dance floor, etc. were in tip top shape. Biggest crush on the DJ by the way:) but I'll get to that later... 3 hours between ceremony and reception left plenty of time for the vendors to set up.. or one would think.. the tables weren't lined up right so I had to do some relocating.. The linens were not on all of the tables and chairs and by the time it hit 2:30- 3pm (mind u I'm expecting the guests to start arriving at 330) There were no glasses or silver on the table as they should have been. So I had to get my hands dirty and help the help!! Thank goodness my sisters were there to help me.. I couldn't imagine the bride and groom showing up with nothing done. After everything and a bit of sweat, the tables were set, food was assembled, champagne was coming and guests were arriving. It was a success!!! The bride looked amazing and my good friend was a handsome groom!! The DJ was awesome.. he helped so much with the coordination of all of the formalities, Father daughter dance, Mother Son dance, bouquet toss, Group photo... everything and the music was awesome.. We exchanged #s at the end of the night!! lol.. couldn't help myself :) Needless to say, I got $200 for the night!! It was fun and something I may look into as far as party planning and wedding coordinating.. I know a lot of vendors for inexpensive costs and great work :)

A Cinderella Story....

Only there is definitely no prince charming or happily ever after.. there is however a mention of shoes!! LOL

Disaster Date #2 last night, actually it went really well until the end of the night but listen in on this :).. Mr has been asking me out for a long time now and I finally gave in to his persistance. No complaints, we had dinner, conversation was great he's super funny and fun. We went to the Casino for some drinks and dancing another fun adventure.. this man has no shame and his character intrigues me :) We had a great time and made a new friend :) She was however older than my momma but a sweetheart all of the same. I decided an early night was a good idea, had to spend time with my Poppa today for Father's Day. :) So I paid my $13.00 tab.. woo-woo.. he wouldn't let me pay for anything.. so while he was cutting the rug with the old gal.. i bought a shot for me and another drink for him all in gratitude and appreciation for the great night I was having :) My truck was parked at his casa so we had to go back to pick it up.. apparently the truck he took me in wasn't his it was his sister's the house we were at wasn't his either so needless to say, when we pulled up, she wanted to meet me. Sweetest little thing I have ever seen, met her and her husband and then said my goodbyes. I wanted to go home but we stood out talking for a while, he's actually a really good kisser and it was the end to a great night...until..... dun-du-du-dunnnnn.... freeze-frame, I'm inside his house now or I don't even know.. He told me he had a roommate... I politely left my shoes at the front door, avoiding clicking and messing any carpet up (it was the nice thing to do) we were in his house but a second when I heard a woman's voice English and Spanish..his Mother!!! She shouted through the closed door asking if I was his soon to be ex-wife and saying that she wanted to see my face, because "Wifey(don't want to give names) wouldn't wear 'HOOKER HEELS'" OMG.. did i want to kill her and him for that matter!! I had him open the door, asked for my 'hooker heels' which where now in his mother's hand as she was shouting at me I apologized and explained briefly between shouts that her son had lied to me.. didn't work out, she kept calling me names so as I was walking out the front door I said some derogatory words to both him and her as he followed me out to my truck apologizing like crazy.. I pushed him away from my door and peaced out as quick as I could!!! Never been humiliated worse in all of my life!! I LOVE MY HOOKER HEELS!! LOL... SAFE to say STRIKE 2 IN THE DATING AT BATS :)!! lol or as Jenn Jenn said.. gotta kiss a few frogs before I meet my prince charming :)

The Break Up....

This blog was hit or miss, it was either going to be happy or a bummy one.. looks like sorrow won this battle :(
So the man I thought my world would turn right-side up for just showed his true colors. Just as I thought he would... I knew it was going to happen tonight.. I think I was just hoping for better results :( There is no guard, no wall nor front.. I don't love randomly, he had my heart, I had given it to him a long time ago and never got it back fully... Our truths and stories gave us strength and kept us friends with questions on each end asking if it could be anything more and today was dooms day!!! To quote a totally different movie, the rest of my life's beginning will start with the following misery:

"I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible.  And how it can actually ache in places you didn't know you had inside you. And it doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends... you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new. And you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little pieces of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, they will eventually begin to fade."

So I'm off, when this lay-off happens at work.. I'm going far, far away.. Arizona actually, I need to try something totally new. My motivation is pointless here and all I turn to is alcohol with my party friends and if you read my last blog I need to quit with it. Bad decisions come from poor drinking habits. :( Forgive this bummed and short blog, I'm just not feeling up to the discussion as I thought I would have been.

My Best Friend's Wedding...

From the Bachelorette Party to the big day, it was a celebration all around!!! :)

She was absolutely beautiful!!!! My best friend married the best man!!! :) Saturday was the wedding I had been anxious for and it was as fun as I had expected it to be. Some say weddings make you think twice about settling down and getting "family" ready. That couldn't be more true.. I celebrated with some excellent friends but couldn't help to be a little envious of the whole "married forever/ in love" vibe. Could I be changing my untameable ways?? lol.. One thing is for sure.. my drinking habits have now been put to a major hault!! #1 because I'm heavier than ever and the bridesmaid dress didn't help at all..lol and I didn't really start drinking until after all of the major wedding rituals but I paid heavily for it Sunday and Monday :( Beezy seemed happy with everything so I didn't have to regulate on any mis-steps of any of the vendors. It was an all around beautiful wedding and I couldn't be happier for the Vargas pair or make it the Vargas three plus Jaxon :)

John Tucker Must Die...

Went on the date from Hell... I met the dude in my office he was selling rubber stopper thingys, I really don't remember what he was selling I just know it was rubber. :) He was too cute and stayed for about an hour just chitt-chatting with me :) He was funny, single, no kids and independent (meaning: not living with momma). A man at 28 one would hope so :) He also had single friends, which was a plus and a half because I have single friends "so call ur friends to get with my friends and we could be friends" lol.. needed some comedy in this Post!! lol  Anyway, like I said many times before I have the biggest problem giving my number out, so when he asked, I gave it to him, plus he was cute and I didn't mind a call from him at all.. :) He was also real quick to ask me out, I couldn't go out that night so he switched his plans for the next night and asked to take me to dinner. I was immediately taken back when he so bluntly picked the restaurant and said he was picking me up.. For starters, I always drive myself on first dates.. (just incase I need to escape quickly) but for some reason I decided to let my guard down and say ok. As for the restaurant, he didn't even ask if I liked sushi or didn't even give me to option to pick a place. I'm so used to the control I was totally hesitant, but I agreed. (I love sushi BTW) Now the date...

He was grouchy when he arrived.. I guess some lady cut him off on his way over and he just kept harping over it.. which made the ride and initial hello awkward. We get to the restaurant and I had been there before with my bestie and liked it so it was cool.. J I recommend it!! tons of CUTE MEN It’s called Mikan off of Pearl in Redlands… look it up.. they have a cool nightlife lounge two story restaurant J Anyway, he was dressed super formal for a date.. he had on slacks, a black  button up and dress shoes… very clean and he looked wedding ready..LMAO.. it was too much for sushi, but to each their own.  I had dark jeans, a scoop neck top and my white military jacket on with curly hair and my new shoes.. I looked good damn it!! LOL  He didn’t seem to think so and he made it known… the ass said that my outfit was cute and very trendy but that my shirt may have been a bit too low cut… They’re called BOOBS!!! Apparently he’s never seen them before and expects his “WOMAN” (and he used this term a lot throughout the date) to wear hijabs and burqas.. lol.. but really "who the hell does he think he is".. (and I used that phrase often throughout this bogusness) Food was good.. conversation sucked, and he kept bringing up his ex and the reasons they weren’t together anymore… really?? Oh and it was all her fault.. I’m sure “Hitler” had nothing to do with it. I couldn’t stand his arrogance and he had anger issues.. it was a total warp from when he was in the office talking to me.. or maybe I had just been more mesmerized by his smile and didn’t notice his douchebag tendencies then. Either way.. I ended the date with a “are you kidding me? This is the worst date I’ve ever been on, you are a douchebag, if this act is serious, and I wish you luck but this date is over.” He paid the tab (thank God I didn’t get stuck with the bill again) and apologized and asked if could make it up to me?? I said thanks for dinner, but no thanks. I’ll get a ride home. And my friend came to my rescue as always!! J… When a date is so bad that you are facebooking mid conversation, there is definitely a problem!! Needless to say, I may be done with dating for a while.. too many dumb-dumbs, not enough energy!! lol

Confessions of a Shopoholic...

So it's Sunday and this weekend has been the most I've rested in quite a while!!! So glad because it was well needed. If you've read my last post, I've been pretty down in the dumps on the health kick and getting the mind right. I took a break from my normal "retail therapy" sessions to save, save, save but Friday I did some 'soul shopping', I mean, searching..lol and I swear it made me feel 100% happier. There is something about shoes that just does it for me. I totally get something out of them. When I'm feeling bad I definitely like to treat myself, clothes never look good, food just adds to the chubb, SHOES.. they always fit!!!! Meet my new loves.. Inexpensive but cute to boot :)

Point Break...

Free your mind and the rest will follow!!! Song lyrics I'm sure I'll try to live by for as long as I let myself.
 I'm back and plan to keep up with my thoughts and frustrations of my everday on this wonderful vice until I can't anymore :)
What's new?
WORK:The fabulous job that I hold is going in the dumps. When you put your eggs all in one basket and assume your customer that carried your company for years isn't in the business for business you'll probably end up where my firm has ended. It's just that too.. ENDED.. they are going to close down our Perris Office because we lost the Edison Contract.. our money maker is no longer shaking for the big bucks. Although I am still offered a position with the company when lay-offs occur, a daily drive to Costa Mesa is not in my near future. So on to the next, after, I'm thinking the 15th of June. My work ethic, however, has me sticking it out till the end with the big boss and all of the loyal dogs who are wishing and hoping and praying that something comes our way. This hold up is not without hard work and sales.. I have been marketing the heck out of our company to any and all I can find and think of but that work will end up going to Costa Mesa anyway so I'm working my butt off to still lose my job :(
TRAVEL: So after all of my travel plans.. I have met the majority of them.. Vegas was a hoot two weeks ago for my besties bachelorette party. But then again when is Vegas not? Florida is still on schedule for late August, although the Boo I was anticipating a visit with may not be who I go to see, either way I'll have the greatest time I'm sure. Exhausted a million from the weekend adventures also... Weddings start as of next weekend. The Bestie is tying the knot Saturday the 11th.. I get a weekend off then the 25th is another wedding. Angel/Dodger Game the weekend after (woohoo GO ANGELS!!) and yet another wedding the following weekend... Should I be catching a hint on this? Three weddings within a 2 month period and another in August.. Lordy, Lordy that's a ton of shopping ahead of me :)
HEALTH: I have been far from top notch!! I can't seem to shake this ickness, it's been about a month and what I thought was allergies has now amplified to flu-like symptoms, anxiety that feels like monster pressure on my stomach and an appetite to kill. I love food, and that isn't new but I feel now that I am feeding myself to clear the ickyness I've been feeling. Like the food helps me forget about it.. Maybe depression? but I'm not a sad person. I think it's all just stress induced but I can't shake it.... drinking is not even an option and I haven't had an urge to anyhow, sleeping has been my no food, no worry vice during the week. I have way too many obligations on the weekend that I pick myself up every weekend to get things done. I don't know, I'm quite train wreck these days.
FAMILY: What would I do without them? My youngest sister, who despises me every other day unless she wants something, is graduating from High School next week. I am super proud even though it's another activity that takes away from my resting.. lol. We just celebrated my Pop's 50th Bday and threw a little surprise party for him at the 'rent's house, he had no clue. It was a success and I'm majorly surprised that we (big mouths) kept it a secret for so long!! :) We also had a huge shindig for my Grandpa's 70th bday party. I was bad company, I napped in my Gma's room the majority of the party, but at least I wasn't outside adding to my sickness with alcohol and the cold :)
LOVE:  I  need to work on cutting the "Caspers" (my ghosts from the past) I have a hard time ending all ties with the Ex's. Most would say that they commend the fact that I stay close with most of them, but really I'm not trying to go backwards. As Liz-ard says.. "I lost my rearview mirror". To be completely honest, there is only one man right now that I care about whole-heartedly but the two of us can't seem to get it together. I don't know if I'm keeping him around for my own comfort, or if he is keeping me around if nobody better comes along??? But that's a BLOG all on it's own :) Motto for this one:  boyfriend vs. pet, I'd take a puppy anyday!! LOL.. really though, my time is my time and when I do finally meet the man I feel I can't live without, I'll blog all about it :)

Enough tonight.... Let's end with the Movie Title quote :)
"Johnny's got his own demons...Don't ya Johnny?"

What A Girl Wants...

Ugh!!!!.. Great weekend with a special someone and I let down all of my walls and broke a few of my rules!!! But I have to say it was worth it!!!! I'm good at jinxing myself tho, especially when I talk about it... So an update is necessary later this week. :) lol... It was a great weekend though. Friday night I went out with a guy friend that proved to be a comfortable successful dinner date :) Saturday went to visit my good friend of 7 + years at her new home for a bbq to celebrate her hubby's 27th. Drank a bit much but enjoyed the new company and the few old <3 Ended up staying out there because an hour drive home was not happening, especially in my drunken state :) The time change really kicked my ass today too. I slept most of the day but suprisingly didn't have a hangover at all. We'll just chalk this weekend up to a great one with some major potential for future great ones :)

The Birthday Boy!!

drinking partners :)

What Happens in Vegas....

So I went through my calendar for the next couple of months and I'm a busy little bee!!!! Today, I went on a spur of the moment Knott's Berry Farm trip with the fam bam... it works that my Pop wins tickets on the radio to everything!! :) We left at noon, got there at 1ish and left when the park closed.. FUN FUN FUN. I love my "Tanner family fun" days :) lol... But seriously, with all of the bday parties, graduations, house warmings and weddings this summer, I'm seriously booked for the next couple months every weekend. Not to mention the small little getaways planned!! :)
This next weekend coming up will be a local one, but I will be helping my good friend, who just got the keys to her new home :) Sort out her "pack-rat" home for a huge garage sale!! Well needed :) The weekend following will be a fun, "slobtastic" Palm Springs adventure with the girls :) The weekend after that will be a good friend's child's 1st bday party :) High School Reunion expected..lol and at night one of the besties bday celebrations...My sister's 18th falls on that following Wednesday and the Besties 28th.. ugh we're getting old.. is the 3rd of the month :) In the midst of all the madness, I will be planning a fantastic Bachelorette Party for the beginning weekend of May. So any San Fran. hot spots or ideas, please throw my way!! :) End of April is Stagecoach, Vegas for the 16th of April is in the works, If my shape is back by then :) April 23rd party bus to Morongo for my buddy Okie's celebration. I want to make it out to Key Largo sometime in May to see my East Coast Boo :) and Two June Weddings so far!! It will be an eventful couple of months with an exciting stir of moments and new memories. Can't wait for the besties wedding and dress shopping should prove to be a fantastic one!! I still want to make it out to NY this year!!! So filling it in will be necessary!! :) Bed time for now, on to another Monday Funday, cuz work is a ton of fun!! Goodnight all!!

Wedding Crashers....

So a $50 gift card is on the line for "The Biggest Loser" competition I now have going on with my Momma!!!  Buckle up, cuz I want the gift card!! I've lost a whopping 10 lbs in a 2 week period. Much to say for the fact that I was sick for a little over half of that time and couldn't keep anything down. lol.. I'll win I promise!! We have a family wedding to attend in June so we set some goals and a friendly competition to meet them. So far, I'm in the lead!! :) woo-woo.
Work is going great, I am getting kudos everyday on a good job note, so I must be doing something right and the atmosphere is totally fun and friendly!! I love it. Bought some girl scout cookies from the cutest little girl that came into the office today. She's down to 100 boxes out of 3000, score for her!!! I also bought the sweetest dress for the babyshower I'm going to on Saturday so hopefully the weather works itself out :)

Missed the guys on Idol yesterday because I went out for a cocktail, 1st one in quite a bit, or should I say 1st 2 lol... tried to set my friend up with a newby, that looked cute in his picture!! LOL.. The hat was deceiving and hid all of the ugly!! LMAO.. that's a mean thing to say, i know. He was a really nice guy, just wrong for boo. :) Called out a friend on a lie someone called him out on and he still flipped the script. I guess I've had an eventful couple of days, but excited to catch up on the wedding plans of my bestie and working it out to meet my weight goal :) Need to get away for a bit tho so a trip to Palm Springs with the girls is in the works (2 weeks to be exact) and at the end of the month the Renaissance Fair in AZ with the family is going to be fun, and can't forget Stagecoach at the end of April- JOSH TURNER IS YUMMILICIOUS!!!!. So I guess I'm not stuck in dullsville like I ragged on myself about yesterday :)  Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the week <3

Liar, Liar...

Pants on fire!!! I can't understand a liar.. with even the simple of things! I met someone recently who has never met, but has now fell in love with my BFF :) Now this kid lied from the gate, but I still haven't called him out. LOL..

Lie #1: when asked how old I was he then told me his age being a year older than me. Dumb, Dumb.. I saw your DL and you're only four years older than my youngest sister :) Whom I am 9 years years older than!! LOL 

Lie #2: Day 1, I was locked up for 2 years in Prison (what a catch!!) Day 5, "you know cuz I was locked up for 4 years in Prison" LMAO

Lie #3: married or not married?? single men don't wear wedding bands on their ring finger. JUST SAYING

LIE #4: THE WHOPPER OF ALL LIES- him: "oh I went to go see ur friend at the bar", me:  "oh yeah when?", him: "Saturday", me: "oh cool, I picked her up on Saturday", him: "yeah she was cool, nice and friendly, looks different (better) than her pictures", me: "oh yeah, cool, what time did u guys go in?", him: "around 8pm".......URRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! Moron, I just told you I picked her up and she got out at 7!!!! I couldn't find the strength to call him out.. there were too many others around :)

I'm not one to be easily impressed, I'm proud of my accomplishments and dig people on geniune personalities, lie once, white lie no prob., lie twice for lame reasons can't believe anything you say anymore! REAL is REAL.. plus Prison is not a winning mark on your resume buddy!!! Even for a friend!! LMAO. Had to share, hope you all get as big of a laugh out of this as I did!!

Sixteen Candles...

So this weekend we celebrated the 25th bday of my sister Felicia whom I call Skeezer (not in the slutty sense of the word, for those who wondered.. my family used to sing to her "Skeezer Weezer was a bear, skeezer weezer had no hair, Skeezer Weezer, Weezer Skeezer" and Skeezer stuck :) ) Anywho.. the invite list was small, cuz let's face it.. she has no friends!! LOL.. Mom of two, 30 minutes away from people she grew up with up, kind of adds conflict to the friend keeping and making. With that said, a few of our older cousins, my parents, a couple of my friends and her childhood bestfriend and sister joined us at Lake Alice Saturday night. The bar had the most entertaining 80's cover band ever!!!! It was a fun night, minus the slight bit of dramatics. "Men" (almost) who can't hold their liquor and decide to say something ridiculous to the bday girl who can definitely hold her own!! LOL Love my sister.  All in all it was a great night :)

Valentine's Day...

So I'm not a stranger to the whole "LOVE" thing.... and I'll still celebrate the day without a boo and never in the "she-woman manhaters" form!! lol  Relationships are just not for me, and I've come to that conclusion whole-heartedly. Maybe I'm in that mindset of  "30 is the new 20" and "40 is the babyboom".. but I just can't seem to get myself in the "crushing" spirit. Don't get me wrong, I've met people, I meet guys all the time, and I have a serious problem with giving my number out.. hence the reason I change my number once every two months :) At least I'm getting out there, but I'm finding any and every reason to dismiss them afterwards. Minus the stage five clingers and the guy who wore man-uggs, I've met some pretty decent guys. I think I just like my alone time and not to "what chili wants" it again, but I may have a check off list longer than hers. LOL It's not unpractical tho.. (don't judge me.. lol)

A job, no kids, family oriented (but not still stuck at home) with great family values, mature, funny, with a great smile, ENGLISH SPEAKING PREFERED!!lol..

I'm far from shallow and definitely don't have a "type" if you knew my exes you would understand, they are complete polar opposites!! I'm big on friends first..

AGAIN, who am I kidding, even if I met prince charming with all of my prerequisites, I'd still find a reason to dismiss and keep him as just a friend. I love my life, I love my time, my rules, my family, my friends and that's enough. Maybe my Danny Zucko will find me. For now, you'll find me in the back of the Bombay Indian Restaurant with a Heart-Shaped Pinata filled with Valentine's chocolates :) waiting on my single girlfriends to show up with a Valentine's Day sob story!! Or maybe I'll just GO SHOE SHOPPING!! <3

Ghost World....

My blog days have slowly diminished.. but I'll try to keep up :) With the new job and my early bedtime, I  haven't really "computered" it up. I think the idea of being in front of a computer all morning and afternoon, stops me from sitting in front of one later in the day :)

I have been keeping myself busy in all of the positive of ways. :) I cancelled some party time and made it a purpose to spend more family time and fun travel time, even if it's just local SoCal travel. Went to Disneyland yesterday, with a good friend and my lil sister.. I love DLAND and am not too much of a football fan, so missing superbowl wasn't a bummer for me. Although hearing about Christina Aguilera messing up the lyrics of the National Anthem proved to be a disappointment. I feel so bad for her.

This weekend coming.. I want to do a train trip to the coast.. or Old Town SD..  so hopefully that works out for me. Then the weekend to follow.. is my sister's 25th.. so a celebration is necessary.. just glad I got her gift taken care of already :) Stagecoach 2011 here we come!!!

Thelma and Louise....

A SHOUT OUT TO THE BESTIES.....

ELIZABETH

I'm not going over cliff for this girl anytime, ever!! lol.. But she's the bizness!! :) I say this in the non-lesbian sort of way! It's so sad that this needs to be specified, but some people, in their own misery, like to get it twisted!! LOL.. I pray that everyone has a friend like Liz-ard, once, and I'm saying, at least once in their lifetime, or the next. I just met her something like 2 or 3 years ago through a source we no longer speak of..lol.. She's a great, generous, in some ways "green" girl (not a bad thing!!) Don't get offended!! lol and we always have a legit blast (lol) just doing the simple of things. I can count my blessings that she's always there when I need her and I hope she knows I'm there for her always :)  I give five smiles for this girl and hope for many, many more years of friendship.SPARKLY PINK FRIENDSHIP!!! LOL:)

 BRENDA

You can call her boojie, beautiful or "busty"..lol.. I just call her Brenda. :) She knows what she wants and does what she does and it doesn't matter what you ->, you -> or you -> think about it!(just to quote her)lol  I love her! Once again in the non-lesbian sort of way! lol... We could go years without seeing each other then plan a "Hot Boo City Trip" and it's like we were just hanging out yesterday!! :) I met her, over seven years ago through a mutual friend and she is a hoot!! Ever since the club days where I had the black marker "X" on my hand and she was passing drinks to us young ones on the dance floor..lol.. Not to incriminate her more, but she was "Maria Consuelos" at the time..cuz that girl wasn't but one year older than me :) Gotta love those sneaky days!! :) and can't forget FLORIDA...Memories with this jet setter to last a hundred years!! Let's count on a hundred plus!!

Easy A....

This movie title, I would have to say is a great one for this post, in the none skeez of a way. :) LOL.. I had a great first week at the new job. Left Friday afternoon with a "thanks, see you Monday, you did a great job and welcome aboard!!" I love it!! It's definitely my cup o tea!! There is room to grow and I love that I can, within following directions and company policies, still set up my own way of doing it all. I'm telling you.. the eye candy is not bad either!! If only a liar wasn't a liar.. lol.. not ready to elaborate on the details of this.. but dude, who are you trying to impress?? Not my style to, excuse my french, "sh*t where I eat!!!" So save the lines and bogus stories for the lil ones..lol But other than that, SUCCESS is a comin' :) I can't wait for the ride!! 

The Breakfast Club...

So, I'm definitely not used to waking up right before the sun comes up. For the past six months, that's been the time I finally get to bed, but this new job is the TITS!!!! I enjoy the hours, going in early, not too early since it's only 10 mins from the casa, and leaving by 3pm.. That allows the rest of the day for living!! or Shopping!! lol.. The eye candy isn't too bad either!!! What can I say? I work with nothing but Men!! lol, some cute, some not so cute.. but entertainment all the same :) I'm looking forward to my day tomorrow!!

Now because of my early hours, I've been having to record the programs I am so addicted to and save them for my view the next day!! BGC was insane.. these girls are bogus!! JUST SAYIN', sorry u didn't get my crazy nutball texts Jenn-Jenn <3

The First Wives Club.....

I'm proud to not be a party to the married group of society!! However, I must admit, I was highly disappointed when I was informed that my forever, all time, since I was a little girl, crush is now happily married. LOL.. I guess I expected him to wait for me forever!! Is that too hard to ask? lol.. Elementary Love is supposed to last through the ages, No? LMAO.. oh well, I tried! :) Big kudos to the happy couple, and thanks for the invite to the beach party.. if you know me well enough, you know I'll RSVP yes.. but expect a maybe!! lol  This could be the reason for my singledom!! So for now, this weekend,  I'll put on a pretty, pretty dress and dance the nights away.

Big Fish....

A book session is now necessary. I watch far too many/much television shows and movies!! :) Jenn, u helped me realize!! lol.. when i'm having a texting sesh with a buddy till ten o'clock, discussing idol, and being noted as "my t.v. friend" lol, it's probably far too much! hahaha.. and not more for the fact that all of my blog titles are movie titles as well.

I've been reading up on my "free" Self Magazine subscription (shop at Forever21.com and order $50 or more, free shipping and free subscription to whatever mag. they are featuring..lol) and it's really helping. Not that I need extreme help or anything.. I love myself, I love my life and I'm happy all around, for the most part. This year is just the jumping off for my new diet, more travel and Fun, fun, fun!!!! I started with Burnt Toast again, Teri Hatcher's book and I loved it the first time so hopefully this time will do the same.Ugh.. who am I kidding, I can read and still keep up with my television..lol Jersey Shore and  Idol again tonight.. Jenn tell the BF.. not to worry I'll be at my sister's so fewer texts today :)

Motto for the day :   "GET CAUGHT LOOKING BEAUTIFUL!!!"

Walk the Line...

Every year!!! Since Kelly Clarkson, I have been on point with Idol. Digging this season, more because of Jennifer Lopez but I have to say Yoji "Pop" stole my heart!! LMAO.. Some of the joke-sters they let through are insane, but he definitely will be the next William Hung and the "Pants on the floor" guy.... Travis Orlando.. the very, very, very, last guy...made me melt.. he's my, if I'm taking it way back, Justin Guarini!!<3<3<3 I will be praying that he makes it far in the competition, his story is a sad one but I love how his family is with one another!! :) Aw and he's the only one that made me cry!! :) Tomorrow's show should be interesting...just in watching the previews I'm gonna be loving the Carrot Top looking guy who belted out some QUEEN :)  Till manana!!! :)

Whip It.....

Best of luck to us.... my dear friend Jenn-Jenn (hyphenated name for separation purposes.. I know way too many Jenns)  posted about her workout woes and boy-o-boy do I understand her pain!!

I have a wedding to attend this summer and girl, I NEEEEDDDDD to look spectacular!!! So here's to dropping the cheeseburger and replacing with a chicken salad, no dressing (ewwww) lol, just the thought makes me hate it!! lol. I have honestly gained far too much weight in the past, gee, um, four years???? I went through my "skinny" photos and am not a fan of the many chins I have acquired!!! So on to the battle. Making it to the gym has never been my cup of tea.. Although I know it's all in my head, the uncomfortable waiting for a machine and then balancing my act on one while others watch with their thoughts, doesn't settle well for me. Then there is the treadmill at home... problem? my knees are killing me on it. Oh and sure, I can use the eliptical that is buried deep in the garage. I'll get it tomorrow, then tomorrow, then tomorrow. EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES!!

I'm done with the excuses.. I will get on this workout.. and Jenn if ur with me, we can guide each other.. sort of like Alcoholics' sponsors...lol.. when we think about veering in the what i'll call "fat lady" direction expect a text or a call.. and helping words of goal achievements would be much appreciated!! :)

Say Anything....

Tonight has been a television show success.. way to cancel my night out for a night of snuggling and with a hot cup of tea and a back to back schedule of shows :) RECAP....

BGC- the girls on this season are trying way too hard... or should I say Nikki is!! She is so super insecure and immature. I guess if I was a manly girl I'd be very defensive with comedy too..lol. She's like the fat kid in high school who "kills them with clowning around". Class Clowns are not cute!!! Too bad it's not working for her this season. SORRY UR SO MANLY, BRO!!!! lol  I am however, looking forward to next week and getting the introduction of the new girl. :)

Jersey Shore- Sammi is ridiculous!! Sorry ur so bummed that ur gonna lose ur boyfriend, psycho, but u did it to yourself. Now latch on to stinky Snooki because u don't have anyone else. AND I really can't believe Snooks really sat her ass in the fridge!! that is disgusting!!! "Keep it classy it San Diego" yuck! Hilarious tho, when Danielle, the Jewish girl who "stalked Pauly's entire life on the

Boardwalk" last year, shows up at Karma and splashes him with a drink!! FUNNY, FUNNY, FUNNY!! It's a trashbag show but I love it! :)

Fashion Police- 2011 Golden Globes- Mila Kunis looked way hotter than Angelina Jolie.. Joan is on a good one!!! J-Lo's dress is cutsie too!!!!! Sandra Bullock's dress is awesome too.. but here hair is a must go!! Scarlett Johannsen in Ellie Saab.. so awesome!!! :) I like the nudes for the golden globes.. Eva Longoria's dress was fabulous!!! but Anne Hathaway took the cake for me :) I want her dress!!! :)

Hairspray...

Saturday morning and I'm awake with a BANG!!! :) I would say I'm excited for the weekend, however, for the past six months everyday is my weekend! But...... I got the job!!!!! I got a call back yesterday from the interview I had on Thursday and I start in 2 weeks Monday... just to confuse u with days :) I couldn't be more excited. It's time to get back to work. 2011 should be a BANNER year!!
My Friday nights haven't been much to my old ways either. I'm staying in a lot. I was hanging with the family all day. Babysitting my nephew at the wee hours yesterday. Hilarious too, when I got the call back for the job my nephew was getting into things he knows he shouldn't. I think it was on purpose at that exact moment too.. it's like he knew I wouldn't yell at him while on the phone! :)  BRAT. I love him though! He even did the happy dance with me!! lol.... Then we were fat kids.. John's Incredible Pizza at noon! It was bomb.com though :) I had plans to celebrate my new employment with some friends but that fell through so GAME NIGHT at the 'rents' house was the plan. We played about 3 board games and then Michael Jackson'd our ass' off on the Wii it was a good time. Cocktails couldn't beat it :)
Today, I shall "cookie monster" it up at the mall (shopping problem) but I do now need work appropriate outfits :) I will go visit my bestie to gossip some on what we missed last night :) Then recap on the shinanigans of the trash-pot show we so addictively watch. "JERSEY SHORE"..
It has become the most ridiculous of my addictions. I find myself getting angry at the characters.lol... but I will say, Sammi Sweetheart is far from it! I can't even understand what possessed her and Ronnie, for that matter, to even go to the shore if they are going to isolate themselves all summer??? and she's the moron and should be embarrassed to even be seen with him after all of MIAMI... but they are all pretty lame!! I want to shampoo JWOW's hair, throw SNOOKI in the shower, and someone desperately needs to check the new girl. Last I remember Mike the Situation may have himself a Situation with all the trashbags he brings back. So jumping in line to hook up with him creeps me out! I heart Vinny and Pauly, so there are zero negatives to throw in their direction :) I'm hungry and ready to start my Saturday. So enjoy the weekend all!! :)

Hope Floats...

Cracking the whip for 2011 with new ideas, plans and check off lists?? Not to "What Chili Wants" it, but I need to set some sort of goals for myself this year.

 

New job- check

weight loss- check, check

More $$$$ in the bank- check, check, check

Jet Setting with the bestie- check, check, check

BF- ummmm.... check back with me next year!! lol

If we're talking about birds falling out of the sky and fish floating to the surface, I need to get on my bucket list.

It all starts today and then continues tomorrow.  Wish me luck on a job interview I have with a company I have been trying to get into for a while now. :) Sad part, I almost want to buy an outfit for the interview!! STOP IT!! :)

In Her Shoes..

My very first blog.. let's see if another one comes after? :)

With all the time I have on my hands, trying to keep busy has been a mission. Positive busy, has been the hardest part. Internet shopping has become my addiction, next to food. lol... Shopping just makes me feel better... "Retail Therapy" is everything it is called. After a new pair of shoes, dress or top all the worries of the day disappear. Would u call that a problem??? :)
