Things I'm Totally Diggin On

Online shopping is so much fun. Although it would be more fun if I had some money to spend on these beauties. These are some of my favorite finds of the week. Tell me what you think. If only I had unlimited cash flow I could totally straighten out this down economy and pump the retail stores right back up!

A girl can dream right?

Wordless Wednesday

On our honeymoon

Wade has been gone now for 4 days enjoying his time (and working hard too I'm pretty sure) in Lyon, France. I miss him... Boo hoo.

I need my freaking exterminator!!!

I am dying here. My exterminator (aka hubs) is ½ way around the world and I am being assaulted by SPIDERS! Just this morning I encountered THREE! For Christ’s sake it’s like they know he is gone and I am so terrified of them that I will let them live. And okay, I admit that since he’s been gone I’ve seen 6 of them and let 3 of them live b/c I deemed them too scary to go near. Scary spiders are either a.) HUGE; or b.) Jumpers (I HATE those fucking jumping ones w/ a passion).

However, this morning I found a new way to kill them. A new way which enables them to DIE and me to not get NEAR them.

Extra firm hold hairspray.

That’s right. As I was doing my makeup this morning in the bathroom a little fucking jumping spider decides that my mirror is a good place to hang out on! WTF? Does he not see me there trying to do my makeup? What kind of asshole spider tries to invade my space like that!?!? So I promptly grabbed my hairspray and went. to. town. That shit makes them fall so fast you’d think they were wasted off Bacardi. So anyway, I sprayed him and watched for a bit. It didn’t instantly kill him. Instead it fully hampered his ability to move about. This made me feel good b/c I knew he wouldn’t be jumping around on me anytime soon so I proceeded on with my makeup. After he seemed to be shaking it off a bit I sprayed him again. This time he seemed “stuck” in place and then finally he dropped from his little corner perch on the wall to the floor, shriveled up and DIED! Yay! Success!

So for any of you spider haters, like me, now you know the secret… Extra firm hold hairspray will do the trick. I used Pantene but I’m sure any ol’ brand will work just as well.

That’s right.

Eat shit spiders.

The exterminator’s wife is still here and badass as ever.

The best things in life are FREE!!! :)

A little while back I won a fabulous necklace from It's Unbeweavable! She writes one helluva blog so if you haven't read her before make sure to go check her out. And she's hot. So there's a bonus for you men readers (or lesbians, I don't discriminate). Moving on, I won this awesome pendant through her from Etsy seller, Ritzy Misfit and it finally came in the mail last week and I wanted to share with you all how awesome it is!!!

(Excuse the photo quality. I took it w/ my iPhone and while the iPhone does take good pictures for a phone, the quality still isn't too superb)

This picture doesn't even do it justice either! It is rad. I got it in plum with a "W" for either Wade or Wessels. Whichever. I'm not picky. And I haven't taken if off since. Thanks Liz for having an awesome giveaway! I'm still stoked about it. Even as stoked as I was when I won Robert Pattinson (who btw is still in my basement and he scared the shit out of my neighbor just last week. Sorry Beth!). :)

Hotels, hotels, hostels & more hotels!

More hotel bookings! I'm so excited! We booked one night in Hotel Europa in Frankfurt, Germany. Mostly b/c it was right next to the train station and bars and we'll only be there for the one night and leaving early the next morning. Nothing glamourous, but like they say: Location, location, location!!! :)

Then onto Bacharach. We booked a room with a balcony at Hotel Zur Post. Seriously, how cute is this place? So much character! I can see why Bacharach is on Rick Steve's list of places to visit! Picturesque! I'm hoping to get plenty of wine tasting in while in Bacharach. :)

Moving onto Brugge for a night stay at Hotel Leopold. This is more of a hostel I believe however we have lucked out and gotten a private room. Yay! :) And it looks clean and nice so I'm fine with it. Nothing against hostels, but like I said before, I don't want to be sleeping in the same room w/ strangers. I just wouldn't feel comfortable doing it. That is just me!

And finally onto Amsterdam where we used the remainder of Wade's priority points and then only owed $180 for 3 nights stay at the Crowne Plaza right in the heart of the city. Sure the exterior lacks some character but supposedly this hotel will just be finishing up renovations so I'm hoping that the rooms are gorgeous! And even if they're not who cares? We'll barely be in the room!

So, with Wade leaving for Europe in 2 days we have finally gotten our hotel situations figured out. We are such procrastinators. I love it. Thank you all for the suggestions you all have given me on places to go and things to see/do. If anyone has anymore I'd love to hear them!!! After all I don't leave for another 2 weeks... Boo! :(

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

I swear I'll post about something other than our trip soon. It's just taking up most of my time as of late and so that seems to be all I'm thinking about! Plus I'm just so stinking excited.

Talk to you tits later!

Wordless Wednesday

They did it and they ROCK!!!

Brunk Dlog Time

Let me start this off by stating that I am drunk. 2 beers and 2 strong and tasty pomegranate mojitos and I am done in. I guess I'm a light weight. So right off the bat I apologize for any and all misspellings and incorrect grammar bc/ this post will be riddled w/ tit. That's right, I said tit instead of it. Get used to it.

Second off, thank you to everyone who stuck with me through me temporary blogging break. I know it wasn't that long, but generally us bloggee's have short attention spans. At least, I know I do. And I really TRIED to keep up to date on the blogs I read but it was damn near impossible. You guys rock my socks off and post so often (which is a good thing, don't get me wrong) and I just couldn't keep up. So I've lagged. I apologize. I sound just like I would if I had biked the 150 miles this weekend like my wonderful hubs = lagging behind. :)

That's right. The MS 150 was this weekend and I didn't ride it. I feel like a complete slacker. I've rode it the past 2 years and this year it was an unsure thing up until the last minute so I did the MS Walk in Des Moines instead (which I've written about and would link to if I weren't so lazy and half (read: totally) drunk) So I apologize if this doesn't make sense. You have NO idea how much I have backspaced on this post so far.

Anyway, I didn't ride it. I was the chauffeur. I carted Wade, Bob, Amy and Steve up to Proctor, drank my ass off with them, slept in until 9:30 the next morning, made an emergency pit stop at their lunch stop on the route to drop off a jersey for a biker who wrecked, and met them in Hinckley, where I proceeded to try to check into our room but they wouldn't let me b/c the room was in my husband's name and, well, you never just know, we could have divorced and I may have been trying to steal his room yet put it on my card still... You know, b/c a lot of people want to do that and hang w/ their exes and... Wait, that doesn't make a lot of sense does it? Nope it doesn't. Lame. So I wasted $30 on slots until I could get a hold of Wade on the route and he could add me to his registration and I could check in and shower. So completely ridiculous.

After that it was a good night but we lost $80 on blackjack in about 15 minutes. Worst. Table. Ever. They all took off early Sunday morning to finish up the 2nd half of the ride and I took my time, woke up around 9 and drove back home. Picked up Kobe and met them at the finish line. Aren't they a classy bunch!?!? (Be sure to zoom in on Kobe, he didn't bike, but he looks so cute doing a raspberry!) (Or maybe I'm just easily amused???) I'm so proud. I know they worked their asses off. Actually I know they worked their asses raw. Their asses will hurt for the next 2 weeks. It's brutal. And I'm not lying. It's so painful. So I was happy to be their chauffeur and would gladly take up this position at any time in the future.

So let's give them a hi-five and a cheers! They worked hard and raised a lot of money towards finding the cure for MS. And Fuck MS! It can totally suck it! :)

Ta ta my lovlies. Next time I'll try to be sober, more interesting and more coherent... :) Maybe.

The Wessels European Vacation

I'm baaaaacccckkkk...

Our trip is finally starting to be planned. Nothing like waiting until the last minute! Wade leaves in a week and I follow after him 2 weeks later. We finally booked our Paris hotel room and it looks really nice!

Pretty sweet right? Newly renovated, every room has it's own bathroom (which isn't a guarantee as we've found in these European countries) AND we got it using Wade's priority points! It's going to save us over $300! It's right off the metro too so we can easily get to it and anywhere else we want to go while in Paris!

Next stop: Frankfurt, Germany. We'll only be there for one night but we need to find a hotel for the night. Hopefully close to the train station. Anyone have any suggestions? We'll hopefully get something done soon b/c after that we still need to find a place to stay in Bacharach (Germany), Brugge (Belgium) and Amsterdam...

So much to do, so little time. And I am getting SO SUPER FUCKING EXCITED!!!

(Not) Wordless Wednesday

I know I've been a bad blogee this week. I'm lacking motivation, inspiration, constipation. Wait, that last one didn't fit... Anyway, I'm going to take the rest of this week off and hopefully I'll be back in full force come Monday (it will be all right, I'll be holding you tight)...

Until then I will try to get through all my blog reading and hopefully still comment to you all. TRY being the important word in that sentence. I just seem to have a TON going on right now. It's spring fever. But I promise you I'll be back! Just like Arnold, you can't get rid of me very easily. :)

Have you humped someone today? Happy Hump Day luvahs!

Well, hello. I'm Wasted. Who the hell are you?

So now that I am totally and completely recovered from just about the worst hangover of all times I thought I could finally update you all on how our Dirty 30 B-day Bash went. It went... well, it went way too fast and way too drunk. If there is such a thing as too drunk anyway.

I got to see so many of my great friends that I rarely get to see! We rented the party room at the Cab in West Glen which had our own private bar, patio, wait staff and bathroom (story on the bathroom later!)... It worked out perfectly! We had one keg ready to go and ended up purchasing a 2nd one around 11:00 pm. I have NO clue how much of the 2nd one we even drank b/c by the end of the night I was HAMMERED... Regardless, some highlights of the night:

• The weather was perfect which meant the patio was wonderful!


• I'd approximate that throughout the entire night we had about 50 people show up so it was a pretty good turn out.


• Shots galore. Ew.


• We did some titty grabbing. (see 1st picture)


• I puked one of my shots right back out the second I drank it. Tequila. Which is weird b/c usually I can handle tequila. Guess not that time... (remember this part b/c it will have to do w/ the bathroom story)


• Wade got even more drunk than me which is a very rare occurence b/c everyone knows I am the lush in this relationship. Anyway, he decided to go on a "walk" through the neighborhood. He had no clue where he was. I am crying b/c I'm drunk and he had pissed me off and I can't find him. Luckily for him (and me) a friend (thank you Mike!) helped track him down and picked his drunk, lost ass up.


• To be completely honest, I can't give you anymore bullet points b/c I got so drunk that things are very hazy. All I know is I had a blast. So from here on out I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Open your eyes Wade!!!

As for the bathroom story... I can be a bit of a... shall I say, Super mega bitch when I'm drunk. So picture this, I had just thrown up my tequila shot right back into the cup that I had taken it out of and I am still holding it in my hand. Kara was dragging me to the bathroom b/c she thought I was going to be sick (even though I wasn't going to be sick, the shot just didn't sit well for me that time!) :) Anyway, there are these 2 girls waiting in line for the bathroom. I have no clue who they are and neither does Kara. So we ask them if they are with the party to which they reply no they aren't, they just want to use the bathroom. To which I tell them (all the while holding my cup of vomito) to get the hell out of our party room that we paid for b/c this is not their bathroom to use. They came back at me w/ some bitchy remark so I threaten to throw my cup-o-vomit on them. That finally got them to shut up and leave. I know, I am a serious class act threatening to throw puke. But in all seriousness, girls who act superior to others annoy the shit out of me and these girls for some reason felt they were entitled to not have to wait in the regular bathroom line and would come and make a line at ours, that we had paid for and reserved for the night. Not on my watch motherlovers. :)

In a completely unrelated note, why is it that if I move my pictures around in my post you can no longer click on them to enlarge them once the post is up? Anyone more computer saavy than me and know what the heck is going on there? :)
