Wordless Wednesday

Me, Kara & Todd: Garage party time!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Coming up: Europe pictures!!! I'm back and trying to get back on track! I'll hopefully be catching up soon!

How about I throw ya'll some random shit?

Ya'll in some need of random bullshit? Good, cause that's all I got for you! I'm flying back from Europe today so I'm sure I'll be jetlagged very soon. Anyway, enjoy... or don't... Whatever floats your boat. :)

For those interested, the swim suit I ended up keeping was this one. Sure, my tan lines will be a little wacky, but that is assuming I even get a tan! I'm white as a ghost. Call me Casperetta. Anyway, I loved the color and it fit me great so decision DONE! Thanks for all your responses!* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Next up, this is our friend Steve.

For those of you who watch Family Guy, do you totally see the resemblance to Quagmire?!?!? For those of you who don't watch it, what are you waiting for? It's hilarious! :) We've taken to calling Steve, Quagmire instead b/c it is more fun to say and funny too!

He's Quagmire! Quagmire! Giggity, giggity, giggity, giggity! Let's have sex!

I miss ya'll and will see you soon! I promise I'll catch up w/ you guys just as soon as I can!

Johnny Johnny Pumpkin Seeds (What???)

What's that you say? You were wanting a pumpkin update? Well, okay. If you insist.

To get you up to speed:

The pumpkin in April - The pumpkin in May -

And...

It's still there in all it's glory. Although it has shriveled up even more than before which I didn't know was possible. Pretty soon it's going to look just like all the rocks it's sitting on. Please last until October. Please last until October. Please last until October.

(I don't want to buy a new pumpkin.)

Too funny not to share

Try to imagine...

It's 1982. Hawaiian prints, big tinted glasses, lots of plaid and moustaches are totally "in". You get your picture taken in a spur of the moment photo op. Twenty-seven years later, your daughter posts it on the internet for everyone to see.
Everyone, I'd like you to meet the parents. My dad is the one w/ the porno stash and my mom is the one rockin the palm print. Hotties? Oh yeah. Now you can totally see where I get my smashing good looks from right?


Happy Friday luvahs!

Wordless Wednesday

I thought you guys might like to see a picture of Wade racing. He's number 69P.

As promised for you thong loving men out there...

What? At least I included one of him in a thong w/ some hot chicks too! :)

Baby got some ink on her

Thanks to Blog Goggles for giving me the inspiration to write a post about tattoos. At the current time I have 3 tattoos and I am not at the point of regretting any of them and am hopeful that I never will. I think tattoos can be a beautiful piece of art if done the right way and put in the correct location on the body. That being said... A beautiful tattoo in the wrong place = trashy. And a trendy tattoo even in the best location = eventual regret.

I'm a big supporter of body art and body piercing. If you want it, get it. Don't let society hold you down. We should all have the freedom and courage to be individuals. That is what makes us beautiful. However, if you want to be in a profession where this type of thing is not easily accepted it may be harder for you to be able to express yourself this way and you'll have to either get tattoos or piercings which are easily hid (or find a differenty job). I know that 2 of my tattoos are probably a complete mystery to all my co-workers, bosses and customers and that is probably a good thing since I work in the conservative banking industry.

So now it is time for a little show and tell.

The first tattoo I ever got is on my lower back which has so lovingly become known as the "tramp stamp" location. Let me state that when I got this tattoo I was 20 and it was a very trendy place to get one and was not called a "tramp stamp" yet. Do I regret it though? Not at all. I got what I believe is a very tasteful tattoo and symbolic of what I want in life = love. It's a simple black heart and about 1 inch wide by 2 inches long and I love it.

The second tattoo I got with my twin sister, Kara. The significance behind this one is that we designed it together and got them together when we were about 22 (I think). We both have it on our left foot so we even have twin tattoos. :) It was a lot of fun!

The last tattoo I got in Sturgis in August 2007. Kara and I had said we weren't leaving Sturgis without getting another tattoo together so on the last day we were there we went and found one of the several little tattoo parlors (the place we picked had a free beer w/ purchase, classy I know, but that was why we picked it! Priorities people!) and we sat down at the same time and had them done on the back of our necks. This one we designed together as well but it actually has a meaning behind it too. It is a roman numeral II for the Gemini sign. Since we are twins AND Geminis we were set on getting this. I think this one is my favorite just b/c of the location and the fact that it has meaning behind it.

So there you have it. My 3 tats. I want to get another one but the hubs is saying anymore and I may start to look like a crack whore (ok, those weren't his exact words but whatever). I'll continue to ponder it though and I'm sure I'll probably end up with another one at some point or another. They truly are addicting. Once you get one you immediately start thinking of where you are going to get the next one.

As for piercings I have 1 in my left ear, 2 in my right ear (there is a story behind that but this post is already getting too long) and my belly button. I took out my belly button one for about a week not too long ago but I couldn't stop staring at my empty belly button and thinking it looked weird and naked so I put it back in. And I used to have one on the top of my left ear but I took that out quite a while ago b/c it was starting to look like I had a nipple growing on top of my ear. That's hot, right?

So my friends, tell me about your tattoos or piercings and what you like or don't like. I personally like a man with a couple tats. I think they can be totally sexy. They just have to make sure it's not some barbed wire arm band or something totally douchey.*
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Okay, this is long enough. I leave for Europe tomorrow & I am shitting bricks I'm so excited. I can't wait to see Wade AND Europe! So please don't be mad at me b/c I won't be visiting your blogs again until the 14th or so. I honestly do love you but seriously, I will not be checking in while in Europe (although I do still have a few posts written and saved up to post while I'm gone just for ya'll!). This is my vacation away from EVERYTHING!!! So please... Don't hater-aide. I'll be back soon, will be posting a plethora of pictures (I'm sure) and I love you guys!

Au revoir my luvs!

*If any of you have a barbed wire arm band, I didn't mean to be rude. I'm sorry. But probably not as sorry as you are for getting it in the first place. Am I right? :)

Pretty Much Wordless Wednesday

The Housewives of Richfield

Nothing to see here. Just a typical week night drink fest on our porch. :)

It's Fucking Fantabulous!

Thanks to Charlotte for giving me the Honest Scrap award! I received this award once before but it was a long time ago so I'll do it again!

The rules:

* Post 10 honest things about yourself
* Tag the person who gave you the award
* Pass the award onto 5 favorite honest bloggers

That seems easy enough for me which is good b/c sometimes I'm dumb and I'm always lazy. So here goes:

1. I am getting so excited for Sturgis this year. Kara and her boyfriend, Todd, are going to join us this time around and hopefully (keeping my fingers crossed) Amy and Bob will too so we will most definitely have an absolute blast. And not to worry, I will post plenty of pictures.

2. I wasn't going to say anything about Europe b/c I feel like I've over-posted on that subject, but I don't feel right saying I'm excited about Sturgis and not Europe. I'm getting a bit antsy. Not only do I miss Wade a ton but I'm getting nervous about flying there and being able to find him in the Paris airport! I know ZERO French... Yikes. Wait, I know Grazie. I'm pretty sure I spelled that wrong. :)

3. Wade and I always said we would start trying to get preggo when we turned 30. I just turned 30 a month ago. Wade's b-day is July 31. This makes me nervous. This also makes me a Puma. Growl... :)

4. I am addicted to cheese. I love it. I always want it. And a ton of it. I'm surprised I'm not constantly constipated. And for those who are lactose intolerant, whoa, I would never be able to do it, I feel for you. I really do. It ain't easy being cheesy!

5. I really want to go skydiving. I'm not sure if I would be able to jump though once I got up there...

6. I want to move somewhere warm and far away. If only for a year. Just to experience something new and different.

7. Although I miss my family and friends, I secretly enjoy living far away when it comes to baby showers, baby birthdays, etc b/c it means that I can ask my sister to buy the gift for me and I'll just pay her half OR I just buy it online and have the gift shipped. B/c I HATE Babies 'R Us. :) (No offense to all my BFF's that have babies b/c I love your babies!) But that store gives me the heeby geebys.

8. I am secretly afraid that my social life will take an extreme nosedive when I get pregnant (if I get pregnant). As of now my entire social life consists of shmoozing and boozing (it's not an alcohol problem I swear) and what do I do when I CAN'T booze?!?!

9. If I were asked to be in a talent show I would never be able to do anything! The only talent I somewhat possess is drawing/painting (artistic crud) and really, you can't use that as a talent at a talent show. Talk about boring to watch! So I really wish I could sing. You know, just in case I'm asked to be in a talent show and all b/c that kind of shit happens all the time, right?

10. If I could have one super hero power I would pick teleportation. Just THINK of all the great and amazing things you could do if you had that power. Feel like taking a vacation in Fiji for the day? DONE! Want to rob a bank vault? DONE! Want to slip into the mens locker room at the gym? DONE! Want to punch that stupid bitch in the face and not get hit back? DONE! Totally awesome.

I'd like to pass this award onto these awesome bloggers:
Trippin Through Life
BonBon Rose
Bormann Twins
What You Wish For
...love Maegan


I also got this award from Lady Jane from Trippin Through Life and I have to say it is probably my most favoritist award. Why? Well b/c we all know I can't censor my potty mouth and this award doesn't either!!! Dirty mouth? Clean it out w/ Orbit. Yeah, that doesn't work b/c I chew Orbit daily and I've still got a dirty mouth. Anyway... Thanks Lady Jane!!!

The rules:

* List 5 of your current obsessions and then pass it on to 5 more fucking fabulous blogs

So my 5 current (and almost constant) obsessions are:

1. Cheese - see above. This is a constant obsession. I don't see this changing EVER. More cheese please!

2. OPI Nail Polish - Right now I'm digging pinky-purplish shades on my toes. Summertime!

3. My backyard garden - This is not necessarily an obsession I enjoy, but I am DETERMINED to not let my new plants die. Those fuckers are going to live if I have anything to say about it b/c I've invested way too much money and time on those shit heads.

4. Kobe - This is also a constant obsession. I love my little furbag. He's my luvmuffin. My parents are coming on Thursday to pick him up and watch him while we are in Europe and I am going to miss him SO STINKING MUCH. Before now the longest I've ever been apart from him was 7 days for our wedding. These 10 days are going to feel long being away from him (not that I won't have the BEST time in Europe). Is that something I should be ashamed of???

5. Wine - Also a constant (along w/ beer, vodka, rum, etc) but since we're going to be in wine country while in Europe I thought I should give some new kinds a try so I went out and bought several different bottles of stuff I've never had to get a better feel of it all. I've found some new ones I love (Angeline Pinot Noir!) and some others that I would never try again!

This award I would like to grant to:

The Odyssey Years
Through The Looking Glass
It's Unbeweavable!
Live it Love it
Drollgirl

So if any of you award nominees see this before I have a chance to comment to you, Congrats! And don't feel obligated to pass on if you don't want to, but I just wanted to let you know (and everyone else who reads) that you are all radical awesome blogs!!! :)

Cheers!

I need your help!!!

Okay, so I went a little bezerkus and ordered 5 different swim suits from Victoria's Secret and need your help deciding which one to keep b/c although I love them all, I have no practical reason to keep 5 new swim suits. I live in Minnesota. I'm lucky if I wear a swim suit 3 times a year up here. (Thank God for vacations!) So I only need one. And that is where you guys come in!!! Help a girl out. Tell me which one you like best!!!

Option 1 - Brown w/ sequins
A little flashy and cute at the same time...
Option 2 - White w/ polka dots
This one is sweet, sweet, sweet w/ some sexiness thrown in...

Option 3 - Floral ruffle bottom

Bandeau top w/ flowers on a ruffle skirted bottom

Option 4 -Chain

Geometric blue w/ chain detail

Option 5 - Cross back bikini (front and back picture)

Simple yet unique. I ordered it in the blue/grey.

So what do you guys think? I'm really torn. And I wish I would look even half as good in these as these models... Damn it. I need to tan.
