Wordless Wednesday

Taken in my garden which amazingly enough is actually thriving! Well, at least 90% of it is which is good enough for me! :)

Humpty dump peeps!

Hurdid. Hurdid. Everbody Getcho Hurdid.

So tomorrow I am getting my hurdid (hurdid = hair did for those that don't read out loud and didn't get that). I'm going to get the usual highlights and low lights, however I want your opinions on length. Should I just get a trim or should I chop suey it? I wouldn't chop it into a pixie cut (hello, I'd look like a pre-pubescent boy) but cut it to my shoulders or somewhere around that length. That is short for me. I've always had long hair. So what do you think?

Also, our kegerator is AWESOME. I can tell this is not going to do my raging alcoholism any favors though. Having a keg of beer just mere feet away is pretty dang hard to resist.

And lastly I need help w/ Halloween. WTF should Wade and I go as? I am SO bad at thinking of costumes. I wanted to go as a matador and Wade the bull but he said there was no way he was dressing up in a bull costume.

And this week I have 2 WTF items b/c the 1st is just stupid and the 2nd is just well, it’s stupid too...

I think jean shorts and even cut offs are fine, but these? Come on… The whole pockets hanging out?? And for over $100? You’ve got to be kidding me. Trash-ay. Citizens of Humanity Dylan Lose Fit Shorts

And secondly, for all you ladies out there who wish you were still 6 years old…
Marc Jacobs Mouse Ballet Flats (how idiotic are these?)

And Sexy Party Time Mutha Crackers!!! Totally hot right? D & G Balconnet Bra & Thong

Quickie time!

Don't get too overly excited. It's not the kind of quickie you all are thinking about. Dirty minds. But that is why I love you.

I have been kind of MIA on my blog lately. Just posting the wordless Wed and my want it posts for the most part and that is b/c I've been in a funk. Not a bad funk. But just sort of tired and mopey. I'm blaming it on the season's starting to change (although in reality it could just be PMS). Don't get me wrong, I love fall. I love the leaves changing and the smell of Autumn, backyard fires, Halloween, football and fabulous boots. But at the same time it just reminds me of what is quickly approaching...

Winter. Blah.

I hate winter. If winter only lasted a month or maybe even 2 I would love it b/c cold weather doesn't really bother me all that much plus it gives me excuses to buy cute coats, scarves, hats, etc. But up here in grand ole Minnesota the winter lasts FAR TOO LONG. We're talking 5 months of cold. And at least 2 months of BITTER, nasty, freeze my friggin ass off COLD. Many weeks without seeing so much as a single ray of sun and snow, snow, snow combined with ice at the most wonderful times. And well, it just drags me down.

So excuse me while I pout about it for a while. I'll be back to my normal self by tomorrow since after all, it's FRIDAY bitches!

xoxo~



*Update: Wade just let me know he just bought the parts to convert our garage fridge into a kegerator. This weekend is looking up. Keg in our garage. You're all invited. :)

I have to get one of these for Kobe for his birthday. It's coming up in October.

I know it's stupid.

It's stupid for humans too.

But it is too damn cute not to.

Also, I am getting pet rapture insurance. I don't want to risk getting saved and leaving Kobe all alone and starving to death on earth. That would just make me sad. *

Chicago + 2 times + 1 summer = FABULOUS!

The Corner Bakery - our favorite eating establishment due to the entertainment

Not that anyone would have questioned, but us ladies had an absolute blast in Chicago! It was 100% stress free and just splendid! Just what us girls needed!

I arrived in Chicago last out of the group and quickly made it to my shuttle van only to have to sit and wait for almost 15 minutes while it filled up and then of course, just my luck, I am the last one to be dropped off. So I raced up to the rooms and was greeted by all my lovely chicas and promptly poured myself a drink!

We played it low key b/c I didn't even get to the room until 10:30. So we just all relaxed and drank in the VIP room. (VIP = vodka in pineapple) We joked, gossiped, laughed a TON and caught up with each other before crashing around 2 am.

Saturday afternoon was spent leisurely shopping on the MAGNIFICENT MILE. I love that street. A shoppers paradise. I controlled myself fairly well and only bought a new red spring coat, some purple leggings, some bangle bracelets and a short sleeved tunic. I was proud of myself for restraining somewhat, but what I really wanted was this or this or this.

Or all three! But I resisted. Even though I REALLY, REALLY wanted to splurge.

That evening Kara, Nicole and myself got ready to head out for dinner and I grabbed the door handle to our room and it broke! The damn thing nearly fell off and we were STUCK in our room! We called the other ladies to have them come down and try to open it and they couldn't. We had a slight meltdown before the "engineer" came up to fix our door and let us out. It was hilarious in the end and thankfully we were only stuck in there for 5 minutes or so.

OMG! OMG! OMG!!!!

We had dinner at Carmine's that night which was a hoppin place! Great chicken parmesan and wine too! Then we wandered out into the neighborhood to see what kind of trouble we could get into. We ended up at McFadden's where we met a bachelor party and they did the N'Sync "Bye, Bye, Bye" dance perfectly choreographed. I think they had spent a lot of time practicing for just such an occasion. It was hilarious. After too many drinks and shots to count we slowly made it back to our hotel. Jenni passed out in the elevator which was so funny. I'm just glad we all made it back to the hotel in one piece. The gracious Lord was watching over us b/c I have no idea how we made it back. I don't remember a damn thing from that part of the evening.

(PSA: Overconsumption of alcoholic beverages may be dangerous to your health and hamper your ability to walk, talk, remember things from only moments ago, recognize whether or not another person is attractive and/or make it home safely. Please drink wisely. *yeah right* The more you know.)

The start of the night at Carmine's for dinner

The whole group of us at McFadden's

Sunday I woke up hungover (go figure) and needed to prepare myself for the White Sox/Red Sox game. I wasn't feeling too great so I think I watched about 10 minutes of the whole game. We decided that since we are old we needed a nap and after the game we headed back to our rooms for a quick nap before getting ready for another night out on the town. Dinner Sunday was at Cafe Ba Ba Reeba which we called Cafe Ba Ba Ba Barann. Their menu is mostly made up of tapas so we each selected 2 since they are generally quite small and sampled a lot from their menu. So many good things but I think my favorites were the bacon wrapped dates, the goat cheese and tomato sauce and the beef tenderloin skewer. Mmmm... so tasty!

All of us at the White Sox/Red Sox game

After dinner we cabbed it over to the piano bar, Howl at the Moon. We definitely howled! My already hoarse voice was basically a goner by the time we were done there! When you are talking and laughing constantly it's hard on the vocal chords and my girls definitely crack me up. We closed the bar down and headed back to the hotel making sure to reinact the elevator scene from the previous night b/c we are cool like that.

Reinacting the pass out from the night before
This is my beer baby from the weekend. It's getting so big! I'd guess myself to be about 4-5 months along! :)

And those are my Chicago highlights in a nutshell.

In other news the hubs went back to school this week so Tuesday and Thursday nights will be quiet for me. I'll get to watch all the girly shows I want! Yippee! And this is his last semester as he graduates in December. I couldn't be more excited for him! What an accomplishment he will have!

This weekend is the big rivalry game: Iowa vs. Iowa State. We will be heading down for some massive tailgating! ISU knows how to tailgate even if our football team isn't the greatest. Let's hope we can pull this win off though and kick those Hawks asses! Whoopee!

Oh yeah, and It's Always Sunny starts in ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!!! Yayyayayayayay!

Lata gatas! <3 align="left">
