BIRTHDAY IN THE HOUSE!! (belated...)

I was so busy this weekend that i missed Bekkah's birthday!??

Go wish her a happy LATE day!!! :)

Wedding fun!

I'm very short on time, so I'll make this quick....

The wedding was SOOO fun and now we're going to party some more! Here is a picture of some of the single girls at the wedding with me! :)

PS: That's me with the black and white dress with the helmet hair. :) I was dancin' good!

Off to the Wedding!! :)

Well, we're off. The wedding is in Coeur d'alene, so we're staying there for the weekend. All of the 15 cousins in a po-dunk motel! lol...I'll make sure I get a picture of it! :)

Bad news= I may not have internet. We'll see. If not, I won't post until Sunday night. So miss me!

See you guys soon!

More Stuff...

So, the search continues for more junk to get rid of.

THis is the front and back of a picture of my x-boyfriend gave me:

You may notice that he is a cowboy. You may also notice that we were in love. you may also notice that I was 13 at the time this was written. lol Sigh.

Here is something else I found amusing. :)

My old diary! : D Here is a page I thought you would find interesting...my favorites.

Ok, this was '94. And I think the favorite colors scream that. And I HATE chinese food so that only leads me to believe that my bestfriend loved it.

But check out the song selection! lol

Next is my 8th grade home ec project:

Why we made pillows is beyond me. And I wish I would've picked something better then a boxing glove. The guy i had a crush on probably thought it was cool. The things you'll do for love... sigh.

Next is my 3rd grade class:

TO BE CONTINUED... I WAS JUST ASLEEP

Ahhh...The Kickbacks of a cheap flight!

I've been meaning to post this for a while now, but hadn't had time. Well, I have time now and here it is.

When i discovered the MONSTER of a deal at Cheaptickets.com, i was overwhelmed. I thought things like:

"Wow! These prices are just too good to be true!" and

"I'm practically an outlaw after making this big of a steal!"

But I was soon very skeptical.

This airline wasn't one that I was familiar with. But, I can tell you now that I wasn't disappointed.

For one, they made sure I got lots of fresh air and sunlight! :)

They even helped me face a few of my biggest fears!

Heights.......

and claustrophobia.....

Another fear they helped me focus on was the fear of my plane being overtaken by terrorists. As you can see, even someone as nice as me could have had access to the cockpit. :) I'm really glad cause I'd never do anything bad! :)

I even noticed some extra special maitenance measures!

I'm not sure what the papertowel is for...but it looks like it might be doing something important. SO i didn't ask. :)

SO much FUN!

Bet you're all sick of seeing pictures of me when i was kid. So I guess I'll share what i did today.

Gramma and I started out the morning on Aunt E's boat. :) The weather was amazing!! About 85 without a cloud in the sky!

Then we went out to lunch:

(Aunt E and Gramma)..................................(Gramma And Me)

Aunt E is getting married this weekend near the lake. :)

After lunch we decided to shop.....

......I found this wall of goodies that I could not stop laughing about! *those are men's undies*

Just when I thought it could not get funnier...grandma said:

"Hey..you could get hubby to be one of these?"

To which I replied with tears of more laughter. :) I can't wait for the wedding!!! K...I'm so tired....

Hall of Shame...LOL

I was going to post a "Hall of Hair Shame" but decided to instead post a "Hall of Shame."

Please enjoy what I wish to forget!

Oh my, oh my. HG Cuts a Rug.

This was from a school dance.

It was VERY last minute and I was more happy about this selection then what K-mart gave me to wear originally.

I'm VERY picky about what I wear "out." You can imagine the fit I threw before we headed out the door.

Please notice the ARMY BOOTS! lol

And white socks....

And hair with NO makeup!

I thought it looked good...?

The Poster Child of Puberty. (center)

The girl to my right was one of my best friends, "dave."

We told everyone that we were cousins and they believed us.

She called me Jo and I called her Dave. I don't know why....but clearly we were two peas in a pod.

Just so you know....we planned to look this smug. We wanted to be the only ones...but weren't.

This was my rendition of "the Rachel."

This picture is wrong on so many levels.

My lip was kind of puffy from my addiction to chapstick medicated.

And what the heck is up with that smile!!? I didn't even notice it at the time!

Bad...very bad.

Mall Bangs: You know you had 'em!

Sigh.

Maybe you can see the reddish hue that my hair was. I dyed it and ended up looking like a carrot for a while. You can't really tell in this pic.

Shortly after this I grew them out and they looked even worse if you can imagine. :)

Btw...I did the curl on top of curl with the feather and spray approach.

Pool and Perm Don't Mix



I wanted a perm so bad that I was willing to NOT swim. :)

Uh, yeah, it didn't happen. Hence the perm gone body wave.

And the headband may only be blamed on my mother seeing that I was too young to make such a fashion faux pas.

Step Right Up! To My Circus of CRAP... PT 1

Coming home is a great time to find packed away treasures. It's also a great time to find all of the crap I saved that will NEVER, EVER use again. So, here it is:

First up is my last existing piece of flare (watch OFFICESPACE) :) My step dad found this for me. So glad.

Next up, I have my cell phone graveyard. Maybe I thought these cell phones would make a come back? Who knows. What I do know is that I have TWO of the same phone for no reason at all.

If I haven't mentioned it already, I have a crazy love for drugstore products!

This drawer was the one of THREE that did not make it out of the house.

I bought the blue aloe vera after a near death tanning-bed experience. I was on ice for 3 days and sported a pretty uneven tan after I healed.

The thermometor looking thing is to read how strong my breath is. It's an asthma thing.

The Tommy bag is a mistake. Don't even ask me why i kept it, or, above that, where I got it.

The headband thing was a gift from my best friend. i'm not sure why it is in there. in fact, I thought about it several times after the move. (I wore them BEFORE Jessica Simpson, so there!)

"Please don't go Girrrrlllll.....You would ruin my WHOLE worllld. Tell me you'll staaaaayyyyy...Never EVER goooo awayyyy!" Only my die-hard New Kids fans will appreciate this.

I was going to marry joey. Sigh. Are you even questioning me holding on to this?

In my early years of highschool my friend K-mart wanted to join a bowling league. K-mart also wanted me to join. This bowling ball was "borrowed" from a bowling alley that will remain nameless. I think there were shoes at one point as well. (PS Maybe I should return it.)

This is a valentine. A very OLD valentine. It is at least 5 years old. Once again, I don't know why i kept it.

This is Minda Gretal. :) Dad waited in line to buy her when I was about 2 years old. She's as old as she looks. I took her EVERYWHERE.

Why I kept these text books is beyond me. And I have no idea where or when i got that sucker.

Small Trip Down Memory Lane...

My favorite thing about being home is seeing all the "memories" that I still have saved in my old room. :) I'm, once again, in a hurry...so I'll make this quick. :) Also, these are pictures of pictures so not much til i get the scanner up and running.

Here are me and two of my brothers.

I, of course, had my wrist strategically placed to model my Popples Watch :) and FAVORITE childhood tenni shoes! I LOVED pink.

( SIDE NOTE ON HOW MUCH I LOVED PINK: I wanted a ten speed with pinked curved handles SO bad that I tried to ride the neigbor girls and got hit by a car because I veared out into the road! True story...it was around this age, too.)

Here's a few of me and my older brother....... We got accused of being twins all the time.

We were burried in the sand. This was the same vacation that I tried to outrun a wave and got carried off with it! lol...My life flashed before my eyes!

These pictures are not incriminating. However, I will soon be featuring the Hall of Hair Shame complete with my rendition of the Rachel from friends. Keep watching. :)

PS If I haven't mentioned that I am allergic to cats then I will do so now. My parents cats have taken up residence in my old crap. Here is all the proof I need! I uncovered this today...That's cat hair, not dirt.

Breakfast A La Airport

(HG) + ( 1 Bloody Mary) + (6:45AM Plane ride) - (Food & sleep) =

( No Choice but to buy and eat nasty airport omelette)

The bloody mary, in theory, was a good idea. It would calm me down enough to enjoy the plane ride and maybe take a nap.

It did relax me...

But I DIDN'T consider the nasty feeling I'd get after the 1080mg of salt and the 3oz of alcohol dehydrated me. You now understand why I took the giant risk and purchased my bittersweet breakfast. :)

(It made me feel better. It tasted as bad as "airport meal" sounds.)

Here is the view I experienced from "Colorado Trails" (that's what the diner was called, no joke!):

And HERE is the notorious omelette :)

Yes, dry as it looks.

How much did HG pay for this diehard dish and a bottle of water?

Please feel free to call the 800 and let them know what you think!

Also, notice the name on the top of the receipt. I wasn't making that up!! :)

It tasted bad, but this proves how hungry I was.

Next up! The "joys of getting a great deal on a ticket!" : )

Hi Guys!! Safe and Sound... :)

Well..I made it! With an easy plane ride, and I literally made a friend on the ride home! :)

I have been reunited with my bestest friend!

Picture taken by little T. :)

MORE LATER I PROMISE! On the run.

Should they stay, or should they go, now?

I believe it may be time to purchase new work shoes. :( Not only are they expensive...but I have a fondness for my old ones. I just can't decide by myself, so i will hold a trial.

All of you fancy, hi-tech, blog-readers can be the jury in......

Buying the New VS. Keeping the Old .

~

Humor Girl has been abusing her work shoes for coming on 1 year.

She has an attachment to these old shoes,

but they may not be suitable for work any longer.

THE DEFENSE:

I would like you all to know that these shoes RULE!

When i slide my feet into them I can feel the sole forming to my arches and toes!!

I sometimes slip them on and off when I'm bored at work so I can feel how perfectly molded they are to my feet!

(As a side note, I will also tell you that I mime going down a staircase when i am on the other side of the kitchen window. Thought you should know the states of my boredom.)

From my guests and co-workers points of views, these shoes are very handsome. A little worn, but classy.

They've been through a lot and appear to have withstood the test of time and wear.

Look at the tread!

Another great aspect of these shoes is that I have NO feet pain!!

Some of the main causes of my foot pain are.....

........my high arches............................and my freak foot bone.

So, having a comfortable shoe is CRUCIAL. I truly love these shoes. It will be hard to part with them.

~

THE PROSECUTION:

Ok, I wasn't kidding when I said that I've worn these shoes well. Here is the MAIN reason I am debating their retirement.

This is SIMILAR (besides that button thing) to the body style of my shoe before I used them for work. Take particular notice of the heel.

These are anadulterated pictures of my work shoes now:

After slipping them on and off for many, many shifts...the heel has finally given in. I'm not sure if "mules" are allowed to be worn at work....?

~

THE DEFENSE:

They may LOOK bad...But look closer!!!

They are MOLDED to my foot! You can see toes...the balls of my feet...AND my arch support!!

AND...the DON'T stink! I swear!! :)

~

THE PROSECUTION:

Just looking at my shoes makes me feel like I am breaking some sort of health code for even THINKING about wearing them.

~

VERDICT:

SEE COMMENTS

Keys! :)

Before I post, I would like to share something:

If I never ever, ever, EVER-again hear the instrumental version of "No Ordinary Love" I would be a happy woman.......

1. I don't like jazz music. (Please do not stone me with hateful comments! i have tried to love it!)
2. This song is wretchedly inadequate when the vocals are substituted with a brass intstrument.

Ok, NOW ON WITH THE POST!! : )

These are my keys.

You will notice that I am NOT a janitor...but I do have a little collection of key chains. Allow me to explain myself. :)

~

1. The blue thing.

This is not for show. This is so I can "hook" my keys out of my giant purse. :)

It is also what I hold on to when I hold my keys.

It is the anchor, so to speak.

MUST HAVE.

~

2. The purple thing.

This is my LIFE-SAVER! :)

If I am shopping... running into the grocery store.... carrying stuff up to the locked front door, but don't have a hand to carry the keys with....

This is PERFECT to put around my wrist and go!

I always find my keys right away!!! :)

DEFINITELY NEED IT.

~

3. The Grocery Cards!

These are very important for savings! :)

That really cute card on top is my library card! Isn't it wonderful!

I was so excited when they gave it to me!

Also...I had to photoshop this card so my home town wasn't on there....that's why it's kind of sloppy. :)

~

4. Keys

Very simple.

Just what I need. (from left to right)

House key.

Storage key.

Gym lock key. (hmm...gym lock key looks unused.)

~

~

5. Pretty things! :)

I don't feel I am alone when I say these are crucial! :)

The apple- I am going to be a teacher...and it's says gap! :)

The butterfly- i got it at old navy...i love pink.

The flowers- Another gap puchase...but this was for less then $3! and it matches my butterfly nicely :)

Well, I think that's that.

PS The vacation I am about to go on is to Spokane, WA. Home for 2 weeks!!!! :) You'll get lots of pics. TRUST ME.

Testing my Audioblog...you really don't have to listen! :)

It's here!!! It's here!!! It's finally here!

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and it's all mine!

Here's how it happened:

We went out after work to blow some time before the midnight release......

Girlfriends failed to tell me that a change of clothes would be necesario. 'Tis the reason I am "dog-doo" and they are Rock Stars. But, please, back to Harry...

After drinks we headed for Barnes & Noble.

We did NOT consider the lines!!!!

Upon arrival, everyone was given a wrist band. The yellow wrist-bands were for the people that "reserved" their copies, and the orange wrist-bands were for the people that did not. Also on these wrist bands was a number that indicated your place in the particular lines.

My friends were smart and reserved copies. However, so did most people. By the time they got their wrist bands, they were already at 714 and 715.

We hopped in line near Linens and Things. (Barnes and Nobles is the second to last sign on the strip.)

I did NOT reserve a copy. Here was my place in line for the SECOND HEAT:

I will now tell you that I was the 716th person to purchase my book. **guilt** **ok, it's gone**

After we bought our little treasures, we sported our free glasses in a picture with "the fat lady."

Then, after we waited, I got wind that Wal-Mart was selling copies for only 19 and change with NO line. But, here is news to you!

I am a MEMBER...............................and here is what i payed!

Did you get THIS gift with purchase!!???


It's a wrist band thing...if you couldn't tell.

Ok, Harry awaits! Glad you could join me. :)

Clearly I'm Scraping the Barrel...

I have nothing fun to post, but this should all change after I visit my friends back at home. :)

I swam laps in the pool and then read. I also decided that "What a Girl Wants" is coming off my Nightsand because it's pretty boring.

Here's to another day that I didn't get the mail out on time! :)

I Got Tagged....

I tried to avoid it, but Ms. Q got me. Hope I don't bore you all to tears..but here we go. :)

10 Years Ago:

I met my BEST friend MJ(no pic...but will have plenty after vaca). It was my first day of 8th grade at a new school. First Period Home Ec:

MJ: "Wanna get out of here?"
Me: "Sure...?"
MJ: stands up, pulls me up with her.... "We're going to go be Teacher's Assistants's"

We stood up, walked out, and spent the first half of our 8th grade year "refereeing" P.E. sports for other people in our grade. We are still bestfriends.

I finally figured out why all my posts were in italics!!! :)

When creating my Guestbook, I entered in the tag for italics...but didn't have an END tag. This means that EVERYTHING will be in italics.

Do you even notice?

Should I change it back?

Am I boring you to tears with all of my shallow questions about italics?

Does this blog make my butt look big?

WE HAVE A BIRTHDAY IN THE HOUSE!!! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Journey to LBS!!! (Go wish him a happy day! :)

(Keep reading for my closet update!)

The Good, The Bad, And the VERY Clean Closet.

I would like to thank you all for the overwhelming support.

I would also like to show you the results.

But first.....You will experience some of the journey.....

ON YOUR MARK!!!!!!

GET SET!!!!

(We needed entertainment.)

GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

(Rocky Music) Duhnt...duhnt-duhnt-duhnt....duhnt-duhnt- (slows to to droan)duuhhhrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn---

For those of you that do not know me, I will fill you in on a little detail.

I HAVE A.D.D.!? I cannot pay attention to save my life and it hurst to even look at a task like this.

First, we gutted.

Better already, right?

WRONG!! So very wrong!

All the crap had to go somewhere!

It went on the bed.

(That's my lovely sister.)

And it went on the floor.

(In my defense I will say that in the back right there is a suitcase that I am packing my trip for, and a workout ball! I am NOT as lazy as my closet my have lead on.)

Among all the clothes, we found some rather interesting articles of footwear.

Exhibit A:

The FlipFlop

Why have I not thrown this away until now!? What is wrong with me!

I only had 1...and I bought them in 98!

Exhibit B:

The WORK SHOES!

Ok, look...When I was a hostess for a few months I was at the host stand with a bunch of models! I NEEDED heels...and I NEEDED heels that were comfortable to walk on for 6 hours on TILE! I wore my BCBG's one night and couldn't feel the pads of my feet for 3 days!

I rest my case.

My closet took us 3 hours. And here is the grand finale.

(Hendel's Messiah) HAL-lelujah hallelujah-hallelujah!

Before

& AFTER! :)

Purses organized on top-shelf, instead of strewn around my room.

Shoes and work stuff organized on floor .

It doesn't look as good as it feels. :)

Lastly...the crap that ISN'T in my closet.

Sigh..I'm done. :)

Today, I'm cleaning out my closet.

No, I mean I'm literally cleaning out my closet.

Keep a kitchen clean? No problem!

A bathroom? No sweat!

A living room? Check!

Clothes? Errghghhghhg.....

Here's my problem. I try on 10 different things before I'm happy. What a torn soul i am. lol

Another thing I will clean today. The left side drawers to my desk.

Left side? You ask.

Yes...I have NO idea why....but all the drawers on the left side of my desk are in clutter!? But the right side is neat, orderly, and make

me happy to open.

Here...take a look for yourself:

LEFT ..........................................................RIGHT

LEFT..................................................... RIGHT

LEFT ........................................................RIGHT

You thought I was kidding didn't you.

I guess I might keep a picture journal of this arduous task, but maybe not. I DON'T need any distractions.

PS does anyone know why my drawers end up like that? lol

What's a good plane read? :)

Give me some advice for a book to read on the plane! I want something that is easy to get into, keeps you interested, and something I won't want to put down after we land!

Muchos Gracias!

Seriously, do you want to be killed!?

This is the guy I drove home behind today! (I'm SO glad I had my camera! :))

We were on a FREEWAY!!?

HE'S POPPING A WHEELIE!!

Hello My Blogging Beauties!!! :)

Ok... Ever find yourself in a blogging rut?? Well...one of our dear blogging friends is having one of those days.

GO HERE AND GIVE A CAT NAMED PI SOME LOVE!! :)

Give her inspiration for a blog... Say hi...tell her you love her site... Anything to show her you care! She'll return the favor..I'm sure.

NOW ABOUT ME!!!! :)

I leave to visit home in about a week and a half!! i'll be there for two weeks and I'm SOOOO excited! :) I'm just about to start packing....(I'll blog that excursion in the near future.)

Any suggestions for a good plane read? I like 'em funny!!!

And speaking of funny....this is a true story that happened to a friend of my mom's:

IT IS HYSTERICAL. YOU MUST READ! OR YOU WILL BE SORRY! hehe : )


Ann is in her mid-thirties, a delight to talk to, and always put together in an unassuming way. While taking a plane ride from San Francisco to Seattle, she had the most awkard experience of her life.

She thought she was going to have a pleasant flight with no "middle man" to share the arm rest with. She was in the aisle. At the last minute, an extremely large man boarded the plane and cruised his eyes over the seat numbers landing on hers. Of course.

Being the refined woman that she is, Ann offered up her little slice of heaven and slid over to the middle seat. Not only was she being polite, but there was also no possible way he could fit in the middle. She wouldn't have to worry about playing musical arm-rests either. He could not fit comfortably with it down.

After the plane was at it's cruising altitude, the man got up to use the restroom. He returned a good few minutes later and took his seat. About a minute after, a flight attendant sneaks up to him and hands him a small folded up piece of paper. He knew Ann saw the exchange and was hiding his embarassment by blowing it off.

He feigned a look of excitement....

"Hmmmmm!!? I wonder what it says? Let's see, shall we!?"

I'm sure there were a number of things going through his head. Maybe his weight was throwing off the plane. Maybe he would be asked to sit for the duration of the flight due to him bothering other people when he walked by. He'd heard it all at this weight.

Ann was so uncomfotable. His weight was obvious, but she couldn't help but feel bad for his situation. She had never had her weight restrict her from anything.

She glanced over his shoulder as he slowly opened the note........................


SIR, YOU HAVE A PIECE OF TOILET PAPER STICKING OUT OF THE BACK OF YOUR PANTS.

lol...This is TRUE!!! hahahaha


What's your most embarassing plane ride story?

LOVE the Gap... And I guess I'm Babar. :)

I'm so boring tonight...nothing fun or exciting.

I went shopping at the Gap today and found a perfect summer purse!




As if that's not enough... Here are more reasons why I will marry the Gap.






~~~~~~~~~~ Moving on....

I finally did some blog cruising today (haven't done it in a while) and found some good stuff!!

First off, Stacy has once again made me bust a gut! Check her out...very funny! :)

Next, Teresa gave me a fun quiz that told me I was Babar. :)

You're Babar the King!

by Jean de Brunhoff

Though your life has been filled with struggle and sadness of late,
you're personally doing quite well for yourself. All this success brings responsibility,
though, and should not be taken lightly. Life has turned from war to peace, from damage
to reconstruction, and this brings a bright new hope for everyone you know. These hopeful
people look to you for guidance, and your best advice to them is to watch out for snakes.
You're quite fond of the name "Celeste".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ok...I'm sleeping and i'm sure you are now.

HG'S MAGAZINE WORKOUTS! :)

I got a subsription to Self magazine once and ended up cutting out all the workouts. I still have them in a 3-ring binder and use them when I need a quick boost from home.

Well, I have found anther GREAT total body workout!!! :)

This is courtesy of Cosmo...which I never read...but have found this month's to be my new best friend.
















And they ain't lyin!

OK, do 10-15 reps of each exercise 3 times a week.

It literally takes NO time! And you make up your own cardio! You can dance, do some Tai Bo, do jumping jacks, just MOVE! :)

Is this a hobby? Or an OBSESSION!?

Our family has recently taken an interest in having a dvd collection. It started out that we would get a new movie every week. Now, we get 5-6 a week and it's getting out of hand!!??

I'll prove it.

We're going to take a tour around the house, starting with my room. So, i can show you how bad it is.

1. Here's my room! Just a few must-haves. Also, dust and a cheapy plywood bookshelf that i don't get rid of because it's the perfect size. See...I'm conserving.

2. Next, the family room. These are only dvd's that have been ok'd for kiddie company. We don't want them stumbling onto any bad stuff. :)

Don't forget these guys!

3. Now, the playroom....a few more kiddie proof selections.

OK...WE'RE UP TO ABOUT 60. I COUNTED THEM IN THE LITTLE PICTURES...SO I'M SURE I'M OFF. BUT KEEP COUNTING!! THIS IS MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY.

4. Dad's office.

On top of dad's bookshelf...

And on dad's "credenza" ...

(when dad was picking out his furniture, he said credenza a MILLION times. lol...we made fun of him "THat's what it's called!!" he would say).....

OK...ABOUT 95.. KEEP COUNTING!!

Now....THE MOTHER LOAD!!

5. This is the master living room's collection.

The top shelf is 2 rows deep. One....&.....two.











The second shelf does not have 2 rows. It has 3!!!

One.......two........&.....three.

I only took one picture of the bottem shelf.

I bet your thinking that's the end of the Motherload...but you're wrong. This is what wouldn't fit in the shelves.

I'VE LOST COUNT. YOU CAN TRY...BUT I WON'T. I HAVE THE FINAL GUESSTIMATION FROM MOM AND BROTHER WHEN THEY DID INVENTORY.

That's a lot of dvd's...but there are still a few stragglers that I will share.....

On dad's night stand.....

.......and by mom and dad's tv.

We have over 300. And that is sad!

PLEASE, any suggestions on how to organize them??

Thunderstorms Rule! And look how cute she is!

Since I'm a loser and can't think of anything fun to post, I am going to post that it is raining here. :)

Our golden retriever Sarah is mom's dog. She follows her everywhere throughout the day, sleeps at her feet under her computer, and falls to pieces when she's gone.

However, THIS is Sarah when there is thunder outside:

She goes to Dad when she's really scared. Sweet sarah.

(She just got back from the beauty parlor...that's where she got he red bandanna! :))

I'll be back later.

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

K...I'm back. I am working on a post right now, but it's not done. Until then, here are some pics of the lovely Miss Sarah. :)

She literally smiles!

This is her favorite toy. It fell down the drain out front once and she wouldn't forget that it was there. I couldn't figure out what she was quietly staring at. I went over there and it was her toy at the bottem of the rain drain.

Is she not awesome! This was 2 days after she got groomed (you can see her blue bandanna). Mom went inside for 2 seconds and she got in! She was in trouble...but isn't she so cute!

She's staring at dad, waiting for him to play more! ADORABLE!

I love her!

Me, sister, and H had a slumber party. We did karaoke...I bet you can imagine how that went. Sarah wanted to be one of the girls.

You see her paw on Sister's leg?? She does that when she wants attention...or usually because you JUST finished petting her. She'll tell you that you're not finished. How can you resist?

Last but not least....this is Sarah with dad's sock in her mouth. lol. She takes his socks, but doesn't chew them up. She just holds them. It's the funniest thing.

Ok...A more interesting post will be here shortly.

BIORE, Pore Perfect? You be the judge!!

OBSERVATION

And I quote:
"Biore ultra deep cleansing pore strips will diminish the appearance of pores."

I observed this on the back of the box, and I also observe that it may be a load!


HYPOTHESIS

Pore Strips are total crap.


PREDICTION

Pore Strips will NOT make my pores "diminish."

TEST

Yippy!!! Here is the fun part!

( PS- Some of these pictures are nasty and I may be exposing myself a little to much but it is all in the name of science. :)

Here is my freshly washed nose before Biore:



Now I give you, {{trumpets}} dun-da-da-duuuhnnn...

THE PORE STRIPS!



Step 1- Wash and dry face. Then thoroughly wet nose and apply strip.

(My eyes are red because it is 2am and I am severely tired.)

Step 2- Let sit for 10-15 minutes. Until hard.

On your Mark! Get Set! GO!!!

Annndddd....TIME!!

(Yes, it is really 2 am. And I am a loser.)

Step 3- Slowly and carefully peel off starting at edges and pulling towards the middle.

OUCH!!!!

My eyes are watering!

(Now, here is the nastiest picture that will ever be taken of my nose!!)

The results:

Wow. My poors are practically invisible. I can't believe my eyes. What a miracle...

Baaahh!!! The're like potholes, now! Like little wells for makeup!!?

I am not happy, until I see it!!!!!

The dirty Pore Strip!!

Here is the strip before.....

And here is the strip NOW!!! :)

Why, oh why is it so satisfying to see all that stuff!? Because it was once in my skin!!

CONCLUSION

Biore Strips do not make your pores disappear.

However, they are NOT total crap! The satisfaction I got when seeing my departed blackheads was indescribable.

I will continue to spend money on them, and look forward to the next time I set out on my Biore Journey to cleansed pores.

The supplies:

1. I will be wearing these flip-flops. They do not match, but they are fabulous! They're gap and were a gift. =)

2. GINORMOUS water sippy. I got this at Wal-mart and it's the awesomist thing ever! The water stays icy ALL day, and it holds up to 64 fluid ounces! THe only drawback, "Dude, that's HUGE..where did you get it!.... Whoa! THat's giant! {{complete with freak like stares}}"

3. 4SPF Tropical Tanning Lotion. "For the natural tan of the islands." end quote. {Also note, this is for external use only.}

4. My only hat. A souvenier from the San Diego Zoo!!:)

5. Cosmo, no itroduction needed. ("How to feel confident in a bikini.")

6. "Hand-Me-Down" (see sidebar What's On My Nightstand?)

7. A cute notepad for writing...and a purple pen! :)

HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY!! : )

It's MADNESS, I Tell You! MADNESS!

Could there BE a better drugstore?! Wallgreen's Rules and I cannot say it enough.

As most of you know, I recently purchased
TEN Toothbrushes for a dollar! Now, if you thought a deal could not get better then that, you were wrong! Wallgreen's has outdone my shopping experience yet again.

That is TWO shampoos, ONE conditioner, & EIGHT work pens for FOUR DOLLARS!

"Humor Girl," you may say, "That shampoo probably sucks. That's why it's a dollar."

But then I will say to you: "Does crappy shampoo give you this kind of shine?"

And then you may ask, "But Humor Girl, what makes you sure this shampoo will give you the same healthy, manageable hair as the shampoo you are already using?

And then I will say:

"Because my dear blogger-friend, it IS the shampoo I am already using...."

Wallgreen's, I love you.

Also wanted to share this...

The Irony of Wi-Fi

This is my brothers site. He rules...so you should visit him and leave comments. :) Tell him that I sent you!!

This is not good...not good at all.

Is it impossible for me to wake up at a decent hour!? APPARENTLY! I slept sound and woke up in an instant. Here's what was staring me back in the face:

Yes, I literally jumped out of bed to grab my camera. I specifically said I wanted to be up by 10, and this needed to be documented.

Maybe my batteries died at midnight? :) I need more proof.

I glance at my nightstand.

UGH!

But maybe that's wrong, too. There's still hope!

Bathroom clock says:

IT'S LIKE NOON, LAZY!!!

JUST ASK YOUR COMPUTER!

And now, here I am..... and my trusty computer doesn't lie.

THINGS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED

1. Crappy, crappy pictures.

2. "The Whitney Chronicles" on my nightstand...from, "What's On My Nightstand" in my sidebar...I don't lie!

3. All of my clocks are different. Yes, this is true. I believe that it will help me be on time. It does not work.

PS Visit my Highlights for this week :)

Humor Girl Highlights: They Said it Best.

(These are a few of my favorite, funny posts of the week. Tell them I sent you:)

1. Peachy wrote a letter to her boss , letting him know exatly what she thought. My stomach hurt so bad bacause of how much I laughed at her post! (also, she talks about her family.!)

2. JRT said it best: You May Be Homeless, But I'm Poorer Then You.

3.Cookie's Delight showed me that getting hit on ain't all it's cracked up to be!
”It finally happened, and it wasn’t as good as I thought it was going to be.”

4. Stacy had me in tears when she described her first “Brazilian” of the season.

5. Very funny Thaleia gaveNineteen Ways to Maintain a Level of Insanity.
I laughed at all of them!


Ok...I'll be done. Must sleep.

This Deal Is REAL!

No, my fellow bloggers, your eyes do not deceive you.

TEN TOOTHBRUSHES FOR A DOLLAR!!

I found them while shopping at Wallgreens and am completely surprised at how AWESOME they are! They are soft...but not TOO soft! Some of the best toothbrushes I've ever used! Honest.

Sigh...A dollar well spent!

*************UPDATE**********************

I would like to thank Iron Chef for pointing out that two of my soldiers were left behind. There were 10 toothbrushes in the set, but only 8 were photographed. Here are the two brushes that were MIA for the last photoshoot. As you can see they are hard at work!

Hi Friends! :)

Do you visit my site regularly? Am I on your blog-line, -roll, or any other frequenters list? If so, thank you, thank you!!! I truly appreciate you coming!

Also, please let me know! I want to return the favor by adding you to my "Frequent Flyers" list.

Since my site is under construction, my list is still very incomplete! You may already be on it. :)

Hope you have a great night/day, and i will leave you with this:

I went to throw away something at work today, and this was staring me in the face! He is salmon. And he is creepy.


Yay for camera phones :)
