No, I'm not a polygamist...

Mondays & Tuesdays are my favorite days to come to work cause all my 'girls are there. We all sit together at the same table & laugh and joke and play cards and just have fun. Well, today as I walked into the break room I heard laughter... my girls were laughing at me.
Why? My hair... I braided the two top sides & pulled them up with a pony tail.
This is what I heard today:
How many kids do you have?
What ranch do you live on?
I see you got your hair done!?
And lots of just quiet, not so quiet giggles.

I agree, this is NOT a good hairstyle for me, but I was exhausted last night & didnt take a shower so this morning I threw the braids on.

It WAS a pretty funny day, thanks girls!

The office...

I Heart "The Office"!

I think this show is hilarious! The best part is, if I cant watch it Thursday nights, I can watch the full episode on NBC. Here's a clip:

Night Owls...

I like to sleep, no wait I LOVE to sleep. You might be wondering when I do my sleeping...well, my answer would be IN THE NIGHT. Yes, for many years I have been sleeping in the night. Its dark, its quiet, its night. I have a friend I'll call 'Snack Pack' and this friend has been texting me & sending me e-mails between the hrs of midnight and 4am. Why isnt Snack Pack sleeping? Why is it that some people can stay up ALL NIGHT long like its nothing?! When I was younger and I used to go to the 'clubs' (lol) I'd usually get home around 2 or 3am and the next morning & I felt like what I can only describe as 'getting run over by a truck'! When me & Nina went to NYC, well, you saw the evidence of that lack of sleep, NOT good! I just want to know what posesses people to stay awake when they should be asleep. Go to bed people!

Am I in the 'Twilight Zone' or something?!

So I ran into my ex-husband today... havent seen him in almost a year and havent spoken to him in about 6 months when he called to see if i wanted to go out to lunch with him for his birthday (to which I politely declined). This event alone wasnt really that big of a deal since I'm over it. I carry no bad feelings, I dont wish a swarm of angry bees would attack him, I dont even mind that he's got a girlfriend & a job. Good for him! We've moved on! What I do have a problem with is that every time I happen to see or talk to him, he wants to know how likely it is that he & I will get back together. I told him today, "not likely at all buddy". We shared a small question/answer period, he asked me out (to which I again politely declined), then we went our separate ways. I got in my car and was surprised by the wave of sadness & frustration I felt. It wasnt that I missed him, because I SOO do not, I think it was just that I wasnt planning to be where I am at this stage in my life. I also was frustrated because while I am having a HECK of a time meeting a man that wants a relationship with me, I've got this winner who treated me like, lets just say crap, who is always ready to get it on! Gimme a break! What is wrong with this picture!? What is going on!? BTW I blocked all comments cause I wasnt trying to throw myself a pitty party or look for an ego boost. Just a little frustrated & just needed a little vent. K I'm done

Scrapbook Expo

Me & the Princess just got back from the Scrapbook Expo! I think this is my 5th or 6th time going. There are some die hard scrapbook ladies out there man!
Got some good deals & got to spend some Q.T. time with my sister, she cracks me up!

NYC

NEW YORK CITY

So, me & Nina decided to run over to New York for the day :)
We took the Red Eye Wed night-which now I know WHY its called the Red Eye, stayed all day Thursday & came back Thursday night, I agree, lack of sleep isnt pretty! lol

First thoughts of NYC - Its STINKS!
The subway smells like urine & stale water




We went to Grand Central Station, which was cool. Its very big, lots of people runnin around:








After we went to Chinatown & Little Italy where we ate at a Brick Oven Pizza place, it was really good & fresh tasting!









There are a TON of apts in NY, and they are on top of all the stores, restaurants etc. So Cool!



Then we went to Times Square:

This is the MTV bldg where they tape TRL


There are so many people EVERYWHERE!




And SO much honking! I have never heard that much constant honking in my life!

Oh, yeah and we saw the 'Naked Cowboy' hahaha



It was a fun trip but we were EXHAUSTED!
I will definitely go there again but next time I'll stay over night!

Ode to a Coconut...

I'm in LOVE with coconut...
I'm mean I actually ADORE the smell & taste of coconut or anything pina colada related..

I dont ever remember NOT loving coconut, the color, the smell, the taste..its heaven. Come to think of it, Grandma Wanda might be the one who introduced me to this wonderful smell. I remember her always wearing Hawaiian Tropic tanning oil, smelled SO SO good!



I have coconut body butter, I burn coconut candles, have coconut oil that I wear mostly in the summer, I drink Pina Coladas, if I get a sucker its always coconut/pina colada. I use coconut air fresheners in my car:

I carry coconut lipgloss in my purse, wear coconut hand lotion & use coconut body gel.
I cook with coconut cream/milk and bake with coconut syrup & extract. (I do wish they made coconut extract in a bigger container than the 1oz, I go through that stuff like water)!



The only thing I dont like is shredded coconut on cakes.. yuck

Just finished making coconut chocolate chip cookies as a matter of fact.

Have you ever eaten octopus with coconut milk & onions..
OH MY GOODNESS!

Well, I just thought I needed to share my love of coconut. When I close my eyes and smell this exotic seed, I am on a beach with the warm salty air lightly blowing.

heehee I love it!
