Oh, Baby!

“There’s a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning”…according to Jimmy Buffett anyways! However, this has been a quiet Saturday night for me. Eh, I’m trying to be good and lay off the booze for a while for my diets sake. Did I make that sound like I’m a frequent drinker? No comment.

Today was pretty mellow. Matt woke up with a horrible headache, so I just pretty much lounged around. I watched Hairspray, which I thought was good at the beginning, but toward the end I just got annoyed with it.

I also took down most of the Christmas decorations around the house. They haven’t made it in their storage containers yet, just hanging out on the floor in the living room! Oh, next year please remind me to buy CHEAP Christmas lights for the tree. That way I don’t have to take them off! It was just too frustrating!! At the end I gave up unwrapping them neatly and just pulled them down the tree creating a huge mess of pine needles everywhere. Anyways, Matt got the tree outside and in the trash can, so at least that is out of the house. We had hoped to take the lights off the house, but it’s been raining all day. That probably won’t get done until next weekend. Tomorrow’s goal is to get the decorations put in their containers and put in the garage.

Tonight we went to Chili’s for dinner. I was good and stuck with the Guiltless Salmon, which is one of my favs. It’s only 10 points on WW and you get a good sized piece of salmon, black beans and steamed broccoli. Yummy. While we were waiting for our table we saw a guy come in wearing really short corduroy Op shorts. Way to bring back the 80’s, dude! Plus it was, like, 55 degrees out! I though it was funny…you probably had to be there.

Hold on to your britches folks, I got the new Victoria’s Secret Swim catalog today. Sooo exciting…not! I don’t even know why I get the catalog. When was the last time I fit into VS?! I just decided that if I ever WHEN I fit into a VS bikini, we’ll put a pool in the backyard. (Start saving your dough Matt!) And I did 25 minutes on the treadmill tonight while I used my hand weights, so I’m on my way.

I think all the veggies I’ve been eating have finally caught up with me. (Another head of cauliflower at lunch and broccoli at dinner) Otherwise, there must be a smelly frog in the room! TMI??

Finally, I am signing off to watch some Supercross with the man of the house. MMM, sexy motorcycle riders, the only thing that would make it better is a vodka cranberry…

Parrotheads!

I’m such a party animal! On Saturday we went to the Jimmy Buffett concert in Irvine. I had originally bought 4 lawn seats for Matt, Tracy, her boyfriend and myself. Well, on Thursday my favorite sister called and offered me 2 VIP passes and tickets in the orchestra section. I took them and ditched Tracy and Anton. See, my sister is the greatest! Back to Saturday…we picked Tracy and Anton up and headed for the concert around 2:00. We were told the parking lot would not open until 3, but we tried anyways. Sure enough they were turning everyone away at the gate saying they don’t officially open until 3, but may open a little earlier. We circled around once and by the time we got back to the gate, they were open. There were motorhomes and cars lined up along all the side streets waiting to get in. The Irvine police were out in force busting all the Parrotheads for drinking on the sidewalks! Fun times! We were lucky because the people parked next to us had a tiny car and left right away for motorhome parking. This gave us plenty of space to sprawl our Buffett gear out. Then the party began. Tracy thought ahead and made the boys some silly signs. We drank, drank and drank some more. I made some amazing Jell-o shooters! I think I am officially a Jell-o shooting professional. So, between the Jell-o shots and beers, we were all feeling pretty good. We walk around a little to see what was up in the motorhome section. But I think we had just as much fun and excitement at our own tailgate. Anton made chicken tacos on our mini grill that were amazing. Shortly after we headed inside for the show. I think I’m forgetting some aspects of the evening…but it’s to be expected since I was so intoxicated! The show was a ton of fun. We didn’t sit down the entire show. Matt bought me a tiny $7 beer, of which I spilt shortly after 2 sips. Oops… There are a few things I can't mention because as Tracy put it they are "too incriminating"! We will be doing this again next year fo sho!

We dressed the part...

And Matt handed out his salty nuts...

Fun and Chores

So Thursday night Traci came over and we had a great time! We had a drink at the house, then decided to head over to Island's for dinner. We immediately ordered a round of beers and shots. We had such a fun time together giggling and catching up. I'm sure Matt would appreciate me using the term "giggling", so I should clarify that Traci and I did most of the giggling. Traci and I even managed to find ourselves walking into the men's restroom! Oops... Then we decided to head to BJ's Brewery for another round of drinks. Then back home. It was a the most fun I've had in a while!

After bagels on Friday morning, Traci headed home. Matt and I had to hang around the house for a little bit to wait for the plumber. We never use the shower in the guest room, so when Matt went to make sure it was clean he realized that the hot water wasn't working at all in the shower! Luckily it is covered under our warranty on the house. The plumber guy said they'd have to come back Saturday with the part they needed. So, Matt and I decided to catch a couple of movies. We saw Superbad and Good Luck Chuck. Both were funny. I was expecting Superbad to be funnier, but it was still pretty silly. Then we went to Kohl's since I had a coupon. I found a really cute top for work that I was going to get. But then Matt decided he was mad at me for some reason and stopping talking to me. So, I left without getting the top...but I'll go back by myself and get it, that way I can look around more! We pretty much called it a day after that.

Saturday was rainy. I tried sleeping in. I was having a crazy dream that involved band and Jessy. Weird. Then Matt got a call from Verizon saying they wanted to replace our box and said they would be there between 8:30 and 12. Well, come noon they still hadn't shown up. The guy didn't get there until after 1:00!! Fucking annoying! Right after the Verizon guy left the plumber came and was there for about an hour. Then we were off to Costco. Then I went grocery shopping. Since I'd been craving a pumpkin pie for a week, I was debating on either making it myself or buying one at Albertson's. I ended up just buying one, which was a huge mistake. I really should have just made one, they are soooo much better! And easy to make, so there's no excuse for me! We ended up going out for pizza, which wasn't great either.

Sunday was a nice sunny day. Matt watched the Chargers loose AGAIN. I decided not to sit down and cleaned out my pantry, which was a huge mess! And I cleaned my kitchen up and got out some of my fall decorations. I'm super festive. But I'm not allowing myself to put out any Halloween decorations until October 1st.

So, that's all for my weekend. I'm a pretty boring person, I know!

Another one bites the dust

Such a nice weekend! The weather has cooled off quite nicely. I'm guessing it was in the mid 80's all weekend. Saturday we got up early since the Verizon Fios guy was supposed to be there between 8 and noon. (Note: Verizon Fios is horrible, don't even consider getting it!) I made a breakfast casserole and we lounged around waiting for the guy to show up. After he left we decided to head to Home Depot to look at plants. For some reason this summer the shrub-like plants in our front yard decided to die. I am quite happy by this as I HATE shrubs! But they came with the house and we've been too lazy to dig them up. I keep telling Matt that I didn't poison them, but I'm not he he believes me! Anyways, I'm pretty sure I know what I want to plant out there, it's just a matter of Matt digging up the shrubs, etc.

Saturday night we headed to Pala Casino to see Sarah Silverman. She is hilarious! But I'm pretty disappointed in Pala Casino. We'd never been to an event there and I don't think we'd go back. It was like a giant ballroom with chairs. The seating wasn't raised or anything, so it was hard to see. Sarah was still funny and we had a good time. Another side note - all of the Indian casinos I've been to are so smokey! Nothing beats Vegas! All of the larger casinos on the strip pump in clean, fresh air and are soooo much nicer!

Then onto Sunday. Slept in. Made cinnamon rolls. Watched 24. Took shower. Went to Taco Bell. Went grocery shopping. Did laundry. Watched the Chargers get their asses handed to them. Drank 3 beers. Cooked dinner. Went to bed.
