Do you have tickets to the GUN SHOW?!

So I saw the weirdest thing on the freeway today. I was driving and as I was switching lanes, I looked to my left and saw a man driving with his right arm on the wheel, but doing reps with what looked like a 10lb barbell over his head with his left arm.

A 10lb barbell!!

I would have taken a picture, but I was running somewhat late and I couldn't locate my phone (darn you big purse!), instead I decided to illustrate for you what I witnessed.

Drawn to Scale

You know what's also odd? Cinderella 3. I know. I'm just as bewildered as you are.

I'll go if you go!!

And with those words, I was magically whisked away on a somewhat spontaneous trip where I learned many things...

Like...

What to do when you have 10 working professionals and 1 free hotel room...




Air Matresses Galore!!

Or what to do when you have a large amount of alcohol and no ice buckets or a cooler... or lets just say not enough room in general...




Yay for lovely bathrooms!!

Or how to wake up a sleeping Joe...






Or how to kill a sleeping Joe... whatever

Or Where can I take somewhat absurd pictures of David Hasselhoff...



He was everywhere and I am actually tempted to go check him out. Any takers?

Or how to properly eat crablegs...





Ok. Maybe not so much that one...

But all in all, it was super nice to get away and be with family and friends. :)

Borderline. Feels like I'm going to lose my mind. .

Last night was an interesting night...

First of all, don't you hate it when you can't seem to get away from something. Its like saying "I hate carrots" and then going to a thai restaurant where you order pad thai but forget to state that you hate carrots and its COVERED in carrots?? And there's carrots all over the place. Your side salad has carrots and lo and behold they only have carrot cake for dessert. And all you ask is just one thing that doesn't have carrots in it?

I hate carrots.

Ok. I don't HATE carrots. I strongly dislike carrots. I don't like the taste of it, but if its in a spring roll and there's something that's overpowering that icky taste... I'm ok with it.

Though carrot cake is ok...

And we all know that thai restaurants would NEVER serve side salads AND carrot cake. So nevermind that too.

But I think you get the idea.

In the end, you're screaming "OH F*CK NO" and making a U turn like no other. :) You're also laughing hysterically because right now the whole thing is just a little ridiculous.

Anywayss, today is Miss Lisa Lavelle's birthday!!! And while I can't show ALL of the pictures from last night's activities, I can share a choice few that won't make your momma cringe... though I'm sure she'll laugh. :)

Happy Birthday Lisa!! :)

Group picture at midnight!

Group picture at midnight with one slight difference...

No Rudy... you're not the birthday princess!!

Can someone explain to me 2/10?

Somewhat "happy" picture... :)

Sal and Lindsay really do love each other.

Lisa's expression is adorable!!!

I'll drink you under the table!! Or something... I don't know how this one came out.

I LOVE IT WHEN MY RECIEPT IS PRINTED WITH LOVE!! I LOVE LOVE!!!

Sal. I want you to win me a black baby.

Is that a Muppet Babies Tattoo?

"I miss you!"
"I miss you too!"
"Good. I'm taking it back. I just wanted you to admit it."

:)

January 4th!?! Already?? Oh my gosh, 2007 flying by soooo quickly!

Luckily as of right now, I don't have any complaints for the new year. So I guess you can say so far so good. The sun is shining. (But not tomorrow... apparently its going to rain.) I'm surrounded by good folks whom I adore (Also known as good "peeps" according to that Shaggy song. One day I'll get into it and why it annoys the frack**out of me, but right now I'll leave you in an aura of mystery. OoOoo.) And I got plans/goals for the upcoming year that are actually pretty tangible. (Once again, Mystery. I don't want to jinks anything.) So yep. It's been lovely.

And though Santa gave me work hours for Christmas and New Years (which I didn't exactly ask for but hey I'm reaping the rewards with this week's paycheck AND I have a shopping date tomorrow!)... he was gracious to give me 2 days off this week!! Yippee skippy!

I'm feeling slightly spoiled. ;)

**Yes Jean. I said "frack". I know you hate it but think of it as my little love shout out to you. A positive spin on something that makes you ill. So everytime I say "frack" in frustration, it really means I'm saying "Jean is awesome! I can't wait till Jean-ly.!" Or was it Jean-vember? I don't remember, but what I DO remember was that Joe Bussiere was dreamy. Deliciously dreamy. Thinking about him makes me smile. A dreamy smile. Because he was THAT dreamy. :)

Kiss me at midnight dance until the morning light

Happy New Years kids!! I hope everyone had a lovely evening whether it was spent drinking it up with homies, dancing it up like a hootch, watching Dick in NY, or just even just sleeping. :) Fortunantly for me I was just grateful not to have spent it at work. I guess you can say that was my final resolution of 2006: Make sure the first minutes of the new year are with those whom I love. And while I do love (almost) everyone I work with, I needed to be home. :)

Hello 2007! Lets hope you don't suck.
