Let Me See Your Tootsie Roll…

This definitely does not garner it’s own post but I’m doing it anyways.  Because I’m bored and boring and food is always on my mind. 

I made a mistake.  I make this mistake pretty much everytime I go to buy candy for work.  I buy stuff that I like and then I inevitably eat the whole package. 

I bought a 400 Midgee (I feel a little politically incorrect calling them midgees) pack of Tootsie Rolls.  I have somehow managed to eat about 300 hundred of them on my own.  If you looked in my trash right now it would be a Tootsie Roll graveyard. A mass burial would be a better term for it.  I haven’t felt any ill effects (or is it affects I hate English sometimes) from it. 

I’m just going to throw this out there…it’s probably helping my digestion more than hurting it.  If you think about Tootsie Rolls they actually resemble–well, nevermind.   According to the package you can eat 12, YES TWELVE, for only 3 grams of fat and 130 (empty) calories! 

And if anyone has any advice on how to make Lexi (below) look LESS fake black and shiny in Photoshop Elements I would love that.  Thanks…

No Clue How Rumors Get Started…

I have really great friends you guys.

My sweet friend Ginny was trying to set up a lunch with a few other people.  This is the email she sent out:

The pleasure of your company is required at the “Celebration of Birth” lunch honoring Mrs. Angela.

We will be congregating at Dos Gabachos at Eleven Thirty in the morning on the lovely last day of spring Saturday, June Twentieth.

Please RSVP to Ginny by the Nineteenth of June during the year of Two Thousand and Nine.

Be there or off with your head!

Ok just to recap, this Saturday at 11:30…Dos Gabachos. You all know the place. Don’t bring gifts..she isn’t THAT special. KIDDING! Bring gifts. This is just a good excuse to get together. Hope you can come!

Such a sweet and formal invitation.

These are a couple of emails that followed…

Can we all take votes on the name. Here are my suggestions

1. Josh Hartnett
2. Virginia Amy 
3. Theta SGC

Wait a minute.  WHAT???  ANGELA, ARE YOU PREGNANT?!?!!?  Or are you having another dog?

 ___________________________________________________

NEITHER…Amy, why are you starting these rumors?  But if anyone would like to “surprise” me with a puppy then Brian couldn’t get mad right? And Crislyn I hope you would know I would let you know if I’m pregnant.   Maybe Amy’s pregnant…
 
____________________________________________________

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…. I seriously thought you were pregnant. HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAHAHAHAA. I have already told two people….. I am awesome!

Ok, let me RE-EMPHASIZE…I am not pregnant.  And my sweet, awesome friends thought I’d tell them by having someone else send out a Celebration of Birth announcement?  COME ON! They should know they would probably find out through Twitter or right here on the blog.

I guess it could be much worse and she assumed I was pregnant by just LOOKING at me.  And honestly I think it’s really funny but lesson to all–confirm that your friends are indeed pregnant before telling people.  ESPECIALLY when said friend has put on a couple of pounds and be confused for pregnant!

Thank you. 

This has been a Public Service Announcement for the slightly overweight women of America.

My Beauties…

Today, today I want to be happy and relaxed.  I do have a story to tell that involves me and a flat tire.  But that stresses me out too much to think about.  So instead I’m going to just sit back, relax and enjoy my pups. 

Some people have their kids, I have dogs.  They make my life much more interesting and much more fulfilled.

I Need to Get a Life on so Many Levels…

This week has sort of been my off week as far as eating well and exercising.  I may be taking advantage of it too much considering I’ve gone to bed with stomach aches for the past three nights.  Chili Cheese Burritos from Taco Bell are killer man.  Especially right before bed.  But I fight the good fight because dangit I love eating bad when I can!

That above paragraph really has nothing to do with what I’m getting ready to write but I thought I’d throw out there that I’ve been eating and sleeping really weirdly the past few nights. (Probably due to the gorge fest I’ve put myself through!)

For some reason (see the two paragraphs above) the past few nights I cannot get the song The Girl From Ipanena out of my head.  And it’s not like it’s the full out song.  It’s like a Muzak version that would be played in a poorly lit elevator.  The worst part of this whole situation is when I’m humming it I feel the need to stand up and dance.  I stand there doing a light rumba by myself, holding my hand in the air as if I’m holding a tumbler of scotch wearing my light blue leisure pants, floral shirt and stark white Velcro shoes out on my lanai with Blanche, Rose, and Dorthy.

It’s really quite an embarrassing sight.  And everytime I do this my husband walks in the room, says, “Oh. My. Gosh.” And walks out.  I hate myself for this, I really do. 

I try to get the dogs involved but they look at me about the same way my husband does.  Shock and disappointment.

Speaking of those beauties…

In this series of photos, I urge you to look past Sadie the brown dog and look towards the black beauty in the background.  I only wish you could put these pictures in motion.  Lexi is a thing of beauty when she gets to spinning.

I only wish someone could communicate to Lexi that spinning your itchy booty on the grass probably is making it WORSE, not better!

Oh, I’m Supposed to Post More Than Once A Month…

Wow, where have I been? 

I just looked at one of my friend’s blogs and saw I hadn’t posted in 4 weeks.  That’s a MONTH–did you know that?!  Since tomorrow is my birthday I thought I’d post so I could get the obligatory “Happy Birthday” wishes.  (Only half-way kidding, although I do except every person reading this to leave me a message…)

May has been a crazy month!  My husband became both an artist and a lumberjack. I became a blonde.  And Sadie had a little tumor removed by her eye.  Lexi, well Lexi probably gained a pound or two but that’s nothing new.   

We’ve had visitors, gone on vacation and just been busy all around!

Oh my goodness, I went to post pictures and I seem to have forgotten how to do it!  Wow…

(Just so you know, in this situation the tree stump won.)

My husband, The Renaissance Man. 

This is us in Destin, FL.  (And my lovely blonde hair) Oh my gosh people, this place is so beautiful!  Me and Lauren wanted to get pregnant here and name our children Destin and Destiny.  (Didn’t happen sorry parents!)

Ok, now there’s a few things I need to point out here.  Everyone look at my awesome tan and how well the cut of this dress highlights it.  It really shows off that I was wearing a halter-top bathing suit.  And my skin is probably just as scaly as the alligator (I’ll be here all night with jokes like that–also, I think the lady at this place said alligators actually don’t have scales so nevermind)  Somehow I managed to get a farmers BURN without even wearing a t-shirt.  How does that even happen?!  I would show you but my arms are actually the size of sides of beef so I’ll just let you imagine.  By the way, we were looking at an image of us on the wall, and we’re obviously very enthralled with it.  Don’t even get me started with how good my cleavage looks.  Pancakes anyone??

Two little ladies missed everyone too…

Sadie, wasn’t in the mood to have her picture taken.  This was basically the only shot of her even glancing at the camera. 

Hopefully for your sake I’m back for good.  I know you’ve missed all my interesting, witty stories. 

And like I said earlier, my birthday is tomorrow, so wish me Happy Birthday dangit!

Trapped in the Closet…

By R. Kelly

She tolerates life most days.  And she wasn’t “trapped” in the closet.  She was hiding avoiding the horrible ear cleaning.  If dogs only knew that we were trying to HELP them!  Sadie had so much wax that one of LEXI’S hairs got stuck in her ear.

Sleeping Beauty…

I know I’ve discussed me sleeping before (see here).  That was more about positions now I’ve discovered something NEW to add to my beauty while I’m sleeping.  In the last couple of weeks I have woken myself up snoring numerous times.  As far as I know I have never snored in my life but then again my husband is the only one I’ve technically shared a bed with. (Obviously excluding sleepovers and that random donkey in Mexico, but that’s a different story)  I was telling my husband this the other day and he said, “oh yeah you snore occasionally…” My eyes went wide and I’m pretty sure I turned five different shades of red.  I have a complex.  I don’t like sleeping in front of people.  Because of THIS VERY REASON. On top of that he also tells me he knows when I’m falling asleep because I let out a little bark. 

UMMMMMMMM WHAT?!

Ok, so now I bark in my sleep.  I apparently like my dogs a little more than I thought.  Maybe I’m trying to communicate with them.  I guess I do this almost N-I-G-H-T-L-Y! 

Then to top it all off the other night someone said something really funny in a dream I was having and I L-O-L’d in my sleep.  Yes, I said LOL’d–I’m lazy like that. 

I still have yet to talk in my sleep but my husband still has me beat–he screamed bloody murder in his…scared me to death. 

Am I the only one that does weird stuff in their sleep that you didn’t know about until after you got a sleeping partner?

She was really confused about something this morning.  And no, don’t worry those aren’t her ribs sticking out of her side–they’re rolls.  She is well on her way to a beach body!

Sadie was too busy sniffing fences and eating grass to pay attention to me.  Big surprise…

On the hair front–THANKS for all of the feedback. I think I’m going to keep it longish but I’m going to add some blonde for the summer.  Since my mom pretty much told me the other day that she wished she had a blonde daughter (I MAY be over-exaggerating). Plus I thought it might be fun to have some blonde at the beach!

Hair…

I’m debating changing my hair.  I’ve pretty much done everything there is to do to my hair other than go platinum blonde.  I’m going to take you down a very colorful hair past and ask you your opinion.  What’s your favorite?  And if you find one you absolutely hate then you can voice your opinion–just know that I’m very vengeful so if you say something too negative I will retaliate.  Ok, I’m kidding–sort of.   (And I apologize to everyone in the pictures if you didn’t want them on here–too bad!!)

Option A. Short and brown (not to be confused with a description of me short/lily white)

Option B. Short and Blonde (Funny story–for some reason it didn’t register that I didn’t need to use as much shampoo/conditioner with short hair–so my hair was constantly greasy and disgusting)

Option C.  Medium length/red-blonde highlights (This is such an OLD picture–it was on our anniversary–aww how sweet)

Option D. Long/Red (yes that is the same cardigan as the first picture. I hate showing off my arms and apparently I thought a cap sleeve was enough to hide that hanging ham on the side of my body also known as my arm)

Option E.  Long/With MAJAH bangs (I hate this picture of me but this is definitely my all time favorite of Sadie!  And I think it’s pretty obvious that I didn’t really know how to style my bangs—oy!)

Option F. Long/Dark (this is basically what I have it like now–which of course mentally makes me want to dye it blonde and chop it off!)

Option G. Long/Blonde (Sorry Lauren–I know you hate this picture) I like this color but I have to be tan to really pull it off. Plus my hair grows so fast (which my hairdresser sister-in-law is super jealous of.  I always have to remind her that if it grows fast on my head it grows fast everywhere else.  Hence the braided leg hair…) that I have to get it dyed more often. 

I’m going to be real honest here people I’m pretty much too cheap/lazy to change it too much but if I get enough opinions and one heavily outweighs all of them then I may change!

Maybe I should get Sadie’s color

Or go VERY dramatic and get Lexi’s…

Boring is Good…

I might possibly be leading the most boring life of anyone I know! And I’m not complaining, although it does put a hamper on having stuff to put on here.  I know you all come here daily HOPING above all hope that there will be something new. Or maybe not…

I keep thinking about this weekend and the past couple of days–surely SOMETHING has happened–nothing.  Unless you want to know what happened on last nights WWE (still crying over the fact that I know EVERYTHING there is to know about WWE and I actually CARE what happens) or what it feels like to eat half of a family-sized Reeses Pieces bag–on.my.own.– then I can enlighten you.  Ok I probably ate more like 3/4 on my own–then my husband threw them away in disgust. 

For now let’s just take a trip down memory lane and look at a couple of pictures of Lexi and Sadie as pups–I love them.

I still get this look from her and it makes my heart melt everytime.  Also, her collar still sticks out like that.  It’s like she’s constantly wearing a bowtie…

Did I ever tell you about Lexi’s balloon ears?  I’ll save that for another time.  Let’s just say her ears in this picture are probably twice the size they are now.

Let’s Talk About Chicks Man…

What are two girls supposed to do when their husbands are off playing tennis?

Make cake pops of course! 

We took a stab at Bakerella’s chick cake pops. 

Let’s take a look-see at how they turned out, shall we?

Your standard chicky…

Full body chicky

I’m calling this one Fu Manchu Chick even though it’s not technically a Fu Manchu–you catch my drift!

This is the party mug–blushing chick, conjoined twins chicks, fu manchu, and Groucho Marx Chick

Devil Chick!!!!

This was the first batch–hence the random sprinkles. 

I must confess I pretty much did NO decorating (although I did DIP them all)–it was all the talented and lovely Lauren. 

Speaking of Chicks, man…
