Please mind the gap...


...between now and the last blog. Trust me I've wanted nothing more than to share my thoughts and recent observations. My journal (the unedited and even more personal version of my blog) has gotten a lot more action lately! My bad. So yes I've still been writing, helpful to keep some form of sanity and YES I've missed all of my blogtastic readers!

Got a lot going on in my head and my heart right about now...I feel compelled to go on and on about the last three weeks of life occurrences, but I generally try to refrain from a "keep updated on my life" blog and stick to more of a "huh? that's kinda funny" type of blog. As solely a means of showing how incredibly crazy life has been, I'll give you a brief run down in bullet point form:

1. Cinco de Mayo=White people drinking Margaritas...PB...eery feeling it's 2007 again (my crazy year which included a lot of PB, and I don't mean peanut butter)...seeing one of the old "P4" and having fun (actually not fun at all, more eye opening) interaction...riding bike to work the next morning due to good decision to leave car in parking lot down by the bay!
2. Sister's wedding is here! As I sit down to write out my MOH speech, I sweat and my neck breaks out in hives...lookin' forward to speaking in front of 300 people.
3. I've probably worked harder in the last 2 weeks than I have in the last 5 months at my job. Got the kiddos workin' hard on end of the year projects, which means me holding 8 hands and walking them through all of it...and typing their stories so that it doesn't take an eternity! Just gave one child our institution's version of detention, don't be disrespectin' miss Blonde Story Short my friend! You will be picking up trash at lunch time!
4. I bought a beach cruiser, oh happy day! Thirty dolla dolla bills on craigslist. No worries, I checked it all out before I went alone to purchase, was not a middle aged perv...Mom didn't have to worry.
5. Got a little datey date tonight. Running through my mind currently: Let's see, I told him my day ended at 7:30, he offered to pick me up at 8 or 8:30, I said 8 would work. We're going to a place that serves food and drinks.My commitment before, that leads me to be unavailable until 7:30, is din with my gals...wouldn't miss it for the world of course. Plus who will help me pick out an outfit if not them! Anyway, back to my wonderment... Should I eat with my gals first? Is this a dinner date? How weird is it to say, "Hey, uh lookin' forward to the ol hang out sesh tonight...should I plan on you buying me some food? Should I eat dinner before? Also, are you going to be paying ? Cuz my account is 'bout to be overdrawn, so if you're not going to get that bill, I'll go ahead and whip something up before you come get me!" Probably gonna just play it by ear. I guess I'm more of a planner than I give myself credit for.
6. I'm exhausted. I gotta somehow fit in a pedicure, spray tan (weather is not helping out my Caucasian-ness) and dentist appointment before the wedding event of the century! I figure at least if I'm tan, white teethed and polished the guests will be less likely to hate my toast! Got my work cut out for me here at school and can't stop my mind long enough to fall asleep at night! I feel like a crack head! Thank you Tylenol PM for your faithfulness to helping me pass out, even though it makes me a stoner in the morning!
7. I have an amazing poem I'll soon post. I didn't write it...that would have made me sound super conceited! Anyway, I'm thinking of reading it along with my speech, vamos a ver. Stay tuned...it'll inspire you.

Nothin but love,
A very busy Blonde

Welcome back!! As far as the speech goes you need not worry.When someone is as real and witty as you are it will come so naturally! If you speak anything like you write you are a shoe in. BIG TIME!! I dont like Sharon!And when I say her name it sounds like ozzy screaming "sharon" from the Osbourne reality show. I love beach cruisers, I am white and margaritas are my favorite drink oops, go to the date hungry and if he isn't treating(which is uncalled for by the way) have a bowl of cereal when you get home. no more tylenol pm makes you too drowsy. Try the Costco sleep aids. AMAZING I love your blog...keep writing...hugs Karen ~

Playa hatin'...a harsh reality

This seems like an oddly serious post to be writing from the couch, with "My Blue Heaven" on in the background. I don't deny my love for Steve Martin and 80's films. I'm normally serving cocktails at this hour on a Sunday night but I came home a little early on account of a terrible tummy ache! Not sure if it's the flu that's going around or the cajun fries Pepe the cook gave me. Whether those babies were the cause or not...they were nonetheless a bad idea. The other option for this ache could be a case of the nerves, another meaning for "upset stomach" if you will. I'm a little upset over a few things. There are times when things go on around you (which have nothing to do with you-and by "you" I mean me) and somehow they still really get to you, to the bottom of your heart. I'm not sure if there is rhyme or reason to it, but at times that these very things which have nothing to do with your life can get you so, so upse...

Mind Blowing

Just go reheat that coffee for GOODNESS sake! Me reminding myself to try to enjoy life a little. This is a rough time. And I could start a post with those three sentences any Friday of the year, but particularly right now...this is a rough time. The struggle (sometimes TOTAL struggle, depending on the hour and minute) of staying home is of MINOR importance during a time like this, during any time really.  Let's get REAL, for most of us, life is good.  Really good. There are families suffering right now, and not just the elderly members of them. I won't go off on how frustrating it is to hear people lessen the severity of this because it's "just affecting older people." That's 1. Incorrect and 2. Unbelievably disrespectful *If you're lucky enough to have a Grandma or Grandpa still, or anyone in your life that's old enough to be considered "old" be thankful, then CALL them and check in. NOW. The current swing of Social Media o...

Happy (mostly) Campers

Camping is a real THING here in Boise, likely because of the ability to drive as little as an hour and a half and land somewhere stunning. While we dabbled in the hobby as Californians, we weren’t totally into it until moving here- at least I wasn’t. Did you ever go camping as a child? Remember how the adults were always doing a bunch of stuff… and sometimes stubbing their toe while making up the beds?”  Welp, we’re the adults now. The preparation and work that goes into camping is extensive.   I’m referring to camping with kids, obviously.   Everything one could ever do in life is 94% easier without children, that’s a super solid figure of course. If you don’t agree- let’s talk (and you can tell me ALL the secrets). I’d like to think that the hub and I, and I suppose the kids too, have gotten into a pretty good rhythm with all the ins and outs (and whathaveyou’s) when it comes to our camping routine.   That doesn’t mean special words don’t get dropped fr...
