Life's a beach. . . .

I confess. . . .

*  I'm having a really sad day.

*  Two of my best friends are in Hawaii and I'm at work.

*  Or whatever they say in Hawaiian for "this sucks!".

*  I'm also watching my sister's dog while her family is on vacation.

*  That little crapper knows how to bark.

*  Lacie and I are not use to yappy ankle biters.

*  I spent $70 on groceries Monday to last me for 2 weeks.

*  Somehow I've yet to cook anything.

*  I keep getting great offers to go out to eat and someone either has a coupon or wants to pay.

*  Who am I to turn down free food.

*  I won't do it.

*  My boss told me that I have to work on July 24th.

*  Uhm....you obviously don't know who you messin with.

*  I feel a cold coming on.

*  Feels like it's gonna hit in about....25 days.

Ladies, get your singles ready. . . .

Magic Mike week is upon us.  The movie comes out this Friday.
So, would you rather

Matthew McConaughey

Alex Pettyfer

Matt Bomer

Channing Tatum

Joe Manganiello

or Joe....

or Joe....

Did I mention Joe is in this movie?

Hairy situation. . . .

I confess. . . .

*  I like to be pampered.

*  But I'm also very cheap/poor.

*  I once bought a special little tub so I could do my own pedicures.

*  Really.

*  I mean the whole reason for the pedicure is the relaxing, and the massage chair.

*  Last night my friend and I went to get Awapuhi hair treatments (if you've never had one I highly recommend it).

*  We go to the Paul Mitchell hair school because you can get them for freakin cheap and it's just a deep conditioning so it's not like they can screw it up....

*  Until now.

*  He seriously could not comb my hair for crap.

*  Yes.  You read that right.  HE!

*  I don't like getting my hair did  or pedicures by a "man".

*  My friend graciously offered to take him and give me her hairdresser but I thought that would only cause me more embarrassment to try to explain why we were switching.

*  Next time I will gladly exchange the 5 minutes of embarrassment for 15 minutes of torture!

Dog days of summer. . . .

(1) What is the usual summer high temperature where you live?
Too damn hot!  Easily 100 and hotter for the most part of the summer.

(2) How do you keep cool? Do you have central air?
Funny story.  3 years ago my bishop asked me to speak in church.  I did not want to.  But, I convinced myself of all the wonderful blessings I would receive.  So as I'm preparing my talk I'm thinking "self, it is warm in this house".  My a/c had blown up.  After several repairs it still was not fixed and I was told it needed to be replaced (thanks for telling me that $1000 ago).  Here I am 3 summers later and I still can't afford to replace it so I have 3 window units trying to keep it cool and it sucks.  They are noisy but at least I can sleep at night.

(3) Do you swim? If you get in the water do you get your hair and make-up wet?
I do swim.  There is a lovely pool in the condominium complex where I live and I enjoy taking my nephews who don't yet know how to swim but LOVE jumping in.  I've never understood people who go swimming expecting to not get their hair wet.  Ridiculous.

(4) What is your favorite summer look? As far as outfit , shoe choice and hairstyle? (Pics are rad or just describe it.) Do you wear less make-up in the summer?
Anything but jeans.  It is so dang hot here I can't stand to wear any kind of heavy material.  Flip flops are standard everyday.  I wear very little make up.  Make up and 100 weather just do not go together.

(5) What is your favorite summer meal to make or eat, either way? (Score extra cool points for a recipe.)
I love chicken salad sandwiches and cold salads during the summer.  I keep my chicken salad very basic.  Chicken, pecans, green onion, mayo.  I don't like the fancy stuff with grapes or apple chunks.

X Men. . . .

Would you rather,

Hugh Jackman

aka Wolverine

James Marsden

aka Cyclops

Full Monty. . . .

Well....not quite. 

We are still a few weeks away from the release of 'Magic Mike' (if your not counting down the days, I don't even want to know you) so no need to pick your favorite from the movie just yet. However, in my extensive, proffessional research for this film I discovered strippers who become actors is actually a lot more common than you might think.  For instance Renee Zellweger (so that's how she got Bradley Cooper) and Catherin Zeta-Jones.   
Here's a few men who once made it rain $1's.
Would you rather,

Brad Pitt

Javier Bardem

Joey Lawrence

Jake Pavelka

Things that annoy me. . . .

I confess I can get annoyed easily. These include but are not limited to:

* "Plus size" shops that use a size 4 model.

* Technology challenged individuals who think I have all day to walk them through their issues.

* People who leave the vacuum out and/or don't wind the cord properly.

* My thighs.

* My stomach.

* My chin/ neck.

* Generally my body as a whole.

* The fact that I cannot buy a modest maxi dress for summer. They are either spaghetti straps, no straps, or too short.

* Carrie Underwood. We get it, you have legs, now please put some clothes on!

* People who suck the energy out of a room.

* Flip flops that turn my feet black.

* People who don't like country music.

* Black ink.

* HOA meetings.

* People who post a million photos of themselves in the bathroom mirror.

* And then profess how ugly they are.

* Movies that don't have a happy ending.

* People that don't plan.

To be continued. . . .

Who's your daddy. . . .
