I Would Walk 500 Miles (Or Just 3, But You Get What I Mean)

As a follow up to my request for donations to my MS Walk I was really uplifted that so many of you donated and supported the cause! I was thinking I may get one or two donations but I got five! FIVE! I just want to shout it to the blogosphere that you, my friends, are the bees knees. Seriously, you rule. Not only are you helping me kick ass in donations but you are also helping to put an end to MS. So Kobe and I thank you for supporting us on the walk from the bottom of our hearts. We love you guys!


And for the rest of my dear readers, there is still time to donate, but if you don’t want to do that then at the very least check out some of the raddest bloggers ever. Serious good shit here peeps. Ch-ch-check it out, check it out. (And PLEASE let me know if I'm missing you, I'm not perfect, even though I'm damn near close). Haha... :)

Also, thanks to the above 5 bloggers generosity you all get to benefit via my embarrassment. So without further delay, I present to you my ugly photos. The sad thing is that I seriously found so many horrible ones it was actually hard to pick. I know I said I’d post one from junior high but I couldn’t find any that old. I’m assuming they are all back at my parents in their basement. So I’ll have to post one of those at a later date. Instead I will grace you w/ 2 obscene drunk photos of myself to make it up. Here goes:


This first one is coming straight at you from my bachelorette party. This is how I ended the night. That is my parents kitchen/family room floor which I graciously threw up on. Luckily I threw up on the wooden part so it was an easy clean up. I am out like a light. Notice the nice thong showing. Nothing but class here ladies and gents. My dad was so proud.

This next one is from The Garden in Des Moines. My old gay co-worker was bartending and really hooked me up with the shots. I love that my friends are taking photos of me and I have a slight smile, so you know I’m not completely passed out just yet even though my head is resting so nicely on Lindsay’s boobs like a pillow. And look at Adro! She’s such a good friend she is willing to let me puke in her hands. Now that is friendship! :)



So there you have it. Two extremely inebriated and embarrassing pics of me. Thanks again to my donators! You rock my world. You know you do.

Until next time America!
And one more for good measure. Hell, why not?

*Update*
Thank you also to Through The Looking Glass! Another fabulous blogger who donated and is opposed to terrorists, kicking babies, and all that jazz and in support of ending MS! You are totally rad!
**2nd Update**
You guys never cease to AMAZE me! Thank you, thank you, thank you Gabby, She Wrote! I have more than exceeded my goal thanks to my amazing BBF's! You guys are the cat's meow. MEOW!

Just One Hour A Year & You Can Keep All Those Environmentalists Off Ya Hiney

Tomorrow is Earth Hour! And just what the hell is Earth Hour, you may be asking.

Earth Hour is a global initiative to “turn off the lights” in cities around the world for one hour from 8:30-9:30 p.m. (local time) on Saturday, March 28.

Earth Hour brings together a diverse group of community organizations to increase awareness of the impacts of climate change. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) launched Earth Hour in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million people and thousands of businesses turned off their lights for one hour. In March 2008 an estimated 36 million Americans joined the effort, with more than 400 cities and 50 million people participating worldwide.

So with your help and just an hour of unplugging we can reach a new record of participating households and businesses! And just think of all you could get done in that one hour when you aren't glued to the TV/computer! You could clean your bathroom (you know you need to!), have a candlelight dinner, play a boardgame, practice perfecting the horizontal shuffle, play with your dog or you can do what I plan on doing and have a beer (or 3) and cheers to those around the world doing their part to help better the environment.

For further information check out their website and join me on Saturday by turning out the lights!





Have a great weekend! We are going to be partying w/ the rents and sis. I see mucho margaritas in my near future!

Fishbowls, Fishbowls, Yummy Yummy Fishbowls

I'm going to let the pictures do most of the talking for this post. Let me just say that this past weekend in Des Moines was a blast and it was great to get to see so many of our friends. We drank a few fishbowls (which were SOOOO good), beer, beer and more beer. After the weekend bender I am in need of a relaxing week. So enjoy the pics!

Me, Nic, Kara & Ade

Kara, Ang, Jenni & Ade

You Know The Economy is Bad When...

Your cubicle at work now looks like this:





Seriously, this cracked me up. These people took A LOT of time to do this. Just look at all the details! And no, it is not my actual office. I got this in an email and thought it was hilarious and wanted to share.
In other office "funnies":

NEW OFFICE POLICY


Dress Code:

1) You are advised to come to work dressed according to your salary.

2) If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we will assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise.

3) If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise.

4) If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.

Sick Days:

We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.


Personal Days:

Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturdays & Sundays.


Bathroom Breaks:

Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your second offense, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the 'Chronic Offenders' category. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sectioned under the company's mental health policy.


Lunch Break:

* Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they needto eat more, so that they can look healthy.

* Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get abalanced meal to maintain their average figure.

* Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that'sall the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.


Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation and input should be directed elsewhere.


The Management

My favorite part is the bathroom break photo op. :) I was laughing so hard they thought I was actually having fun at work so I immediately shut my yapper.

I hope you all have a wonderous weekend. We are traveling south to Des Moines to see friends/family and watch some b-ball. It will be nice to get away from it all for a bit. Talk to you all next week!

Rectum? Damn Near Killed Em!

I know we aren't supposed to laugh at other's misfortunes, but this is just too good not to share. I'm sure some of you have seen this before, but regardless it is funny each time I watch it. In fact, I think it get even funnier each time I see it. And I laugh so hard I snort. And then I look around to see if anyone heard me. And then I giggle under my breath. And I start laughing out loud again. And then I feel kind of bad for laughing at this poor woman. But then I come to my senses and get the fuck over it. Fact is, it's hilarious. I have no clue if she got hurt or not, but regarless I'm sure she's fine by now. So enjoy a good laugh for your Monday! It's deserved. Monday's suck balls.

It's Friday the 13th so Ya'll Need a Little Scare

The wonderful Andy over at Wild ARS Chase did a photo challenge and since I have a lack of better things to post today I thought I’d join in the fun.

The rules are as follows:
1. Go to your picture files or wherever you store your pictures on your computer.

2. Go to the sixth folder and select the sixth picture.

3. Post it on your blog and tell the story behind the picture.

4. Go tell it on the mountain. Or to other bloggers.

So here goes (God this is embarrassing):

Did I scare you?

This picture was taken last September while in Vegas for the ISU/UNLV game. I have no idea what I am doing. I was very intoxicated at this point. It looks like I ate something that was hot, but at this point we were sitting outside on a patio drinking and we didn’t have anything to eat. So your guess is as good as mine. Want to play the caption game with it? I’m sure most of you can come up with a goodie.


So instead of selecting people to tag to do this photo challenge (although to be honest it wasn't all that challenging) I'd like to request all my readers to give it a go. It's cheap fun. Kind of like me. And I want to see them all. Especially if you have some embarrassing photo of yourself come up like I did. :)

Happy Friday the 13th! And have a drunken fun weekend!
