back jack do it again

redheaded grandson.

laundromats are an event.

i’m making the most out of my day off.
hanging around today in my new string bikini.
i don’t claim to look amazing in it, especially when i’m not posing. yeah…. i need to work out a lot and do cleanses and stop eating junk. mhm. i know. you don’t need to lecture me, i am a big girl. literally. just kidding. sorry for being a negative stinkin’ thinker.

these glasses are pretty cool but the bridge is too narrow. i need a wider bridge, i think.
i don’t know bridges.

i’m not really picking my nose.

fake yummy margaritas. before that champagne. (pronounce it like the continental would, you know…)

my little grandson had a poopie in his pants when i took this. i didn’t know it at the time but it didn’t take me long to figure it out. weeee! back to his mommy for a tidy didey.

i wanted the dill ‘schmear’ but i accidentally ordered the veggie ‘schmear’.
it was still delish.
and CHEAP! especially for airport food (denver)

the only pic i got during the eclipse that turned out cool. so jealous of all the other cool pix people got (which i saw on facebook!)

this one’s not too bad, also.

aw, sugars

sorry it’s been so long!

my friend.

we redheads have to stick together, right?

i’ll follow you until you love me.

my view while exercising. i went in the hot tub once. soon, i’ll brave the pool or lay out or something.

why not.

my dorky friend scott. ex-coworker.

one of my favorite places in Folsom to hang out.

the water is rising fast.

pretty pretty.

ok, i guess i eat too many tacos. or so i’m told.

anyway, i’ll have more time to blog in the morning, so cheers!

mustard ‘n mashed potatoes

omg. everyone is in a conspiracy to make me gain 1200 lbs.

no’m sayin’?

nobody likes that as much as i do.
oh well. i can’t get enough of it for the time being.
no’m sayin’?
haha
sorry

heirloom ‘maters.

so, this lovely smoothie was for breakfast, to balance out the delightfully sinful dinner.

homemade smoothie all fruit: strawberry, mango, pineapple, banana, orange… plus coconut milk and almond milk mostly because it was too thick and needed to be smoothed out.

yellow.
the freesia will smell wonderful soon.

couldn’t resist.

my sister found this in a thrift store.
wow.

i really should stop going to frozen yogurt.
it’s time to reign in my eating situation!

lunch today! WINGS! the garlic parmesan were my favorite.

i did not like the sweet ones. asian?

i am supposed to go spend the night at my friend Gisela’s house tonight and we are supposed to go to San Francisco tomorrow.
i hope it all works out. i never trust in plans.

my phone takes SOOOOOOoooOoooooo long to send picture messages. i don’t understand it.

it’s totally ridiculous.

i am in a hurry! i have things to do, here!

seriously it takes like twenty minutes to send one photo and if someone texts me in the middle of the sending of the picture message, it takes like forty minutes
my phone gets confused easily.

today was the craziest day ever at work.
i promised myself to remain calm and positive because that is what santa would want.

can’t resist

i like christmas owls. so pretty.

t’is the season for shopping.

pretty christmas stuff.

decorative pillows. i am still in the market for a new bed.

so cute!

time to change my nail polish. they have all the sally hansen nail decals at target, now. i want the argyle ones. so cute.

presents for the kitty cats.
i bought ella an ugly christmas sweater today!

what you deserve

a day off. two actually. that’s nice.
starting it out with some hot green tea, plain and some witches fingers.

cat? i’m a kitty cat. and i dance, dance, dance and i dance, dance, dance.

that’s not really a cat’s nose, tho, is it?

this is the beer garden where i work. (i don’t work AT the beer garden)

had a Tasting Flight of Local Beers on Tap
the first and last ones were my favorites. i like tangy, citrusy beers that taste more like wine or cider.

a chick from work and i had some beer and then went to see Tower Heist. i liked the nostalgia of it. it’s like it referenced the past somehow, i don’t really know how because i haven’t given it a ton of deep thought. my friend thought it was cheesy and boring, but i was able to stay interested in it.

here’s my new bike.
it being a cruiser with no gears or brakes makes it harder to ride, but
i like it.

i have to go get ready for my day, now.
enjoy yours, whomever you are.

abundance

ok so this one is called the Johnny Cash sandwich. sliced sourdough.
very tasty. that was my lunch yesterday.

i went to the Folsom Market Street Fair yesterday after eating half my sandwich. uh-oh. tons of stuff to taste. fun! those cheeses were delish. nice neckerchief.

omg their krauts were amazing. i thought my photo would help me remember the name. i don’t. but they will be in our store’s pickle bar and believe you me, i will be buying their stuff. the curry one and the dill one? so good. i love me some kraut.

he was just setting up. i wasn’t able to stay to hear his performance.

BEEKEEPING IS FUN!

these things are incredible. raw macaroons. so yum!! made with cold-pressed extra virgin coconut oil so they actually BURN fat!

they took a break right before i was trying to take a photo of them carving it.

the cracker has Ancho Chili jelly with cream cheese. mmmmmm.
and the cup is an apple pie.

jujubees. they taste like a really dry apple that also tastes like a pear.

i made a really cool video of myself in the photo booth. you can watch it here.
i’m such a dork. seriously. it’s embarrassing.

work has been interesting lately.
so has my life.

my horrorscopes have been so great lately, too.

today:

“You feel increasing pressure to make a decision, and romance or finances are feeling the intensity of this focus. What to do! Follow your instincts on this one, not what appears on the surface as you know the true path. Fear of the unknown is no excuse to ignore the inevitable. Loss only opens brand new doors.”

so apt. every day, too.

full moon festivities

forgot to buy more pumpkins today. oops.

i want an army of jack o’lanterns!

this one’s a mutant.

….and snacks.
also, indigestion.
time to up the ante regarding digestive enzyme intake.

my travels of late

so… let’s go back, shall we?
i went on an airplane. well, four different airplanes in two days, to be exact. the definition of a whirlwind trip.

i took lots of pics of the airplane wing. it’s been many years since i’ve flown. over ten years.

i think this was somewhere above sacramento.

i fly swa. they can turn a plane in 20 minutes. whatever that means.

exciting snacks. tomato juice.

woo hoo! livin’ the high life, right?

this is LA

swimmin’ pools. movie stars.

i know, i am no movie star.
and i am gross for taking my coffee into the airport bathroom.
i was accosted with germs from every direction on the entire trip, tho. so whatevs.

i took my immunity supplements.

not sick yet, fingers crossed.

LAX.
haha
nice hat, right?

airport bagel breakfast. $4.75 (thanks, mom)
good thing we got it since they don’t serve food on the 3 hr flight to missouri from LA.

i think this was descending on Kansas City, MO

sorry this is the longest post known to man.

those are my son’s feet. we were at a fruit stand in missouri.

i wish he would have filmed our experience there because it was quite hilarious and memorable.

home-jarred pickled eggs. so cool! reminds me of Dances With Wolves. i was always fascinated by the jar of pickled eggs that one guy had on his stagecoach thingy.

this is the house where my son lives.

i am wearing a silly cow hat because that is what i am. a silly cow! XD

here i am with my new grandson and my ex-husband.

i think this was above seattle.
i had a lovely salted caramel mocha there but by the time i went to take a pic of it all the pretty stuff was melted. boohoo. tasted great, tho.

yeah. seattle. mhm.
i love the atmosphere there so much. too bad i couldn’t spend more time. i did hang out there once, tho. a long time ago. when i was like 24 or something. so beautiful and fun.

ok. that’s long enough, y’all. hope you found it somewhat interesting. it’s been a busy week!

trick or treat

i thought this vest would hide my fatness and distorted shape. nope. it doesn’t hide anything.

this is a child’s hat. i’m a dork, of course. we’ve already established this.

after the army surplus store we went to scheels. i’d never been. i got the grand tour. that place is insane!

it’s like disneyland in there. sort of. it’s pretty cool. we even rode the ferris wheel. didn’t get any photos of that, tho. the guy made me leave my purse in a cubby hole while we were on the ride. boo.

we putted some golf balls, shot some pretend guns…

looked at taxidermed animals. i don’t know what’s going on with the guy on the upper right there. haha

this mountain is pretty tall. the ferris wheel is taller, though.

had some really good lunch. tongue tacos. ew! but actually they are quite good. when i ordered them i go “two tongue tacos” and he goes “what kind?” and i go “TONGUE” haha. embarrassing. sort of. not really.

ended the day sitting at the river with a beverage. then watched three scary movies on netflix! i love scary movies! getting ready for halloween!

and tonight: Fleet Foxes.
