Shine On

"Three little birds sat on my window
And they told me I don't need to worry
Summer came like cinnamon, so sweet
Little girls double dutch on the concrete
Maybe sometimes we've got it wrong
But it's alright
The more things seem to change
The more they stay the same..."

Picture post!!

This is going to be one helluva blog! haha... I've got fantastic news, I had a fantastic day and just fantastic, fantastic, fantastic. LOL

So yesterday I was living off of 3 hours of sleep when I finally made it into the shower. My plan was to straighten my hair, but I had the worst morning ever and so that didn't happen. My family arrived early, of course. I had just finished my makeup, wasn't dressed and was putting gel in my hair when they arrived.

So Jenn gave them all the grand tour... my step mom said she was jealous of my house... that was nice.

I got all dressed and whatnot and we left for the Renaissance festival. I gave my step mom the CD that I had made for her (one for Daddy too) and we listened to them on the way there. (On the car ride over there one of the first things my step mom says is that I look like I've lost weight...)

We got there not long after it had opened and we began to look around and shop and whatnot... eventually (which it didn't take long. LOL) my family became hungry and they all got something different from every stand. I got a pickle. LOL 0 calories!

We got our food and sat down and watched this show... this show has been around since forever, but my Mom hadn't seen it yet. It was my Aunt Laura's first time going to the Ren Fest and my cousin Miles hadn't been in years.



he's a fire eater, then later he brings out his partner, Matt... who used to run the show and I helped out with when I was 9... anyhow, Matt walked on glass, which I got a video of and then the other one put his face in the glass and had a volunteer step on on his face. (got that on video too... LOL)

We walked around some more and shopped some more... There was a lady at a shop outside saying "Lotion candles!! It's lotion, it's a candle! It's both!" So we walked over there and sure enough... these candles were made from soy, shea & cocoa butter, avocado, Jojoba & vitamin E oil... they're all natural and not made from any animal bi-products. :-) That was a good selling point from me since earlier in the day I saw someone with a shirt that said "PETA - People for the Eating of Tasty Animals" Fucking eneducated redneck...

Anyhow... my step mom bought me and her a candle. I got a Yuzu scented one. ;-)

Walk, walk, walk and we came across my favorite jewelry store there. My step mom got a ear cuff shaped like a frog!! It's so cute! We came across a toy store and they had parisol's and fans. My step mom bought me one of each and got a parisol for my cousin Mollie who had to work and couldn't come.

Soon the parade came through... ;-)










Guards for the King and Queen.

King and Queen














Later we went to the petting zoo, last year I got my picture WITH the llama, but this year the llama had had a baby!! It was a mama llama!! :D










Lots more walking, lots more shopping... we went in the dungeon museum that showed all the ways that they killed people in the 1300-1400's. It was definitely weird.

They had these fountains, dragons, dragonflies, butterflies and bugs for sale...


I love that pic. It's gorgeous.



This little girl was staring at the water, I got into my wallet and got a pennie and gave it to her and I told her to make a wish. She stood there and she held it for a while before her parents came by and tried to show her how to do it. She wanted to do it by herself, she was taking a long time to do it and I think she was just thinking of something to wish for... eventually she tossed the coin in and her Dad thanked me. My step mom whispered to me "sometimes you just make me so proud..."







Miles with his finger guard and his horns. LOL He bought Mollie a pair of cat ears that were pierced.

When we got there we were talking about what all we wanted to do and I suggested we go see the jousting, which I had actually never seen before... everyone agreed and said it would be fun. I asked my step mom if she had ever seen A Knights Tale with Heath Ledger and she said "I have the director's cut." I died. Right then, I died. We talked about Heath for a while and Miles chimed in that what happend to Heath was just awful and unexpected because he was "one of the greats of our generation."

So at 4 we went and watched the jousting. It was fab. I adored it!!! They introduced them one by one and depending which side you were on was who you watched... Our 2nd (the one who takes place of the main knight if something should happen to him) was cute, but then our knight came out and omg... his name was Sir Matthew and he was young, blonde and gorgeous.


the 2nd is in red and the 2nd for the other side is in green




In comes the knight for the other side.

Our 2nd introducing our knight

Our knight...


To like, get warmed up...




Getting ready to fight.

Bowing before.

I taped the actual jousting, and I'll post it to youtube later. Sir Matthew lost. LOL He got knocked from his horse. :-(


My family... Laura is next to me, my step mom is in front of me and Miles is well... the guy. LOL

Pumpkins!!




My parisol and I:



They welcome you to bring your dogs... I wouldn't bring Bella tho, she would get way to tired.

Wings for dogs.


Okay, horrible angle on me... LOL Me and Mr. Miles.


The fam and I once again... Jenn took this one. LOL Look at Bella. haha...

Alright... they left and went and had greek without Jenn and I which was just soo soo sad... but I think we're going to stay with my Mom before we go to Ingram Hill next month... shit I still need tickets... ahh... and then we're going to have greek and a Heath movie night.

So... onward. I registered to vote yesterday. Yay me.

Later in the night Leticia text me and asked if we had any passes to Prive -- I told her no and asked her why... she said that's where Justin was having his after party... I was like, "oh... well no... that sucks." LOL

THEN she said that tickets were only $30... sooooooooooooo... she bought em and we're paying her back when we get to Vegas in SEVEN DAYS. Which, is actually kinda fate since I got my refund from the state of Missouri back and it was $26. LOL haha... I love it.



From 10p-4a. Say whaaa?! hahaaa... Now, I'm hoping that I'll be busy at 10p since Justin's concert doesn't start until 9p... but... I'm waaay stoked!!! :D

Later I had to take a picture of Jenn for her pro-am badge since we won't be there Saturday when they're taking pics and I did her hair before hand and I just wanted to share the photo since her hair looks like sex. (She took mine too, but ehh. LOL)


BTW, Jenn got new glasses. LOL

Alright, here's my pic.



Alright now, that's all... love ya! I'll post links to my youtube videos when I get em loaded.

xoxox

Hand Me Down

"All alone in my room think of you at a rate that is truly alarming,
I keep looping my memories of you in my head I pretend that you want me,
And I fall asleep and dream of alternate realities,
And I put myself at ease by pretending that she still loves me..."

Thought I would change up my blog a little bit... and as you can clearly see - I can't decide on a blog title. I had Day In The Life Of - The Candid and Unscripted for forever and yeah, I never planned on changing it, but for some reason it reminded me or "orange". LOL

Orange makes me feel ambivalent.

Perhaps y'all can help me out with the title... Confessions of a 20 something [what]??? Halp.

I have so much to do and I just can't be arsed to do it. I need to remove my nail polish and repaint my nails before I go to the Renaissance Festival tomorrow, which is no biggie. I need to wash my hair before bed and straighten it... not a biggie, I just need to get motivated to do it. LOL

My step mom is picking me up tomorrow at 1030a. My Aunt Laura and my cousin Miles will be coming along. Don't worry, I will have stories. LOL This is destined to be interesting.

None of them -- actually no one that I know has seen our new house since we moved in 2 months ago the 4th, which is "today". So this will be interesting... If I have to hear that I live in a shady neighborhood one more time I swear to Christ... *growls*

So today I drank the remaining 4 beers in the fridge. It was actually a ton of fun. I played some good music and acted a fool. LOL

Tomorrow is gonna be a long ass day...

Jenn's nearly home.

I think my countdown to Vegas is wrong... :S

Saturday (1), Sunday (2), Monday (3), Tuesday (4), Wednesday (5), Thursday (6), Friday (7), Saturday (8) Leave on Sunday... so it's 8 days AGAIN. LOL My countdown says SEVEN!

xoxox

*High Pitched Teeny Bopper Scream*

"Gray ceiling on the Earth
Well it's lasted for a while
Take my thoughts for what they're worth,
I've been acting like a child
Your opinion, what is that?
It's just a different point of view..."

Today Jenn and I got our schedules in the mail from the JT tournament!! 8 motherfucking days!

First there was a letter attached that says that there's going to be a shuttle to the course everyday! YAY!! We were going to end up paying $70 for a taxi. Oh hell no. Now we're only going to have to take a couple taxi's.

AND -- the shuttle leaves from our hotel!! How fucking lucky was that?!?! Crazy how things work out sometimes.

There's a volunteer party on Sunday from 4-6 and we get dinner, drinks, prizes and hopefully a Timberlake. LOL It's at the Hill which is super swanky. I'm soooo nervous!!!





Also! We got our schedules for the week!!!

Sunday: We arrive in Vegas at 8a. All 3 of us (don't forget Leticia is going!) are going to the Volunteer party @ the Hill from 4-6p

Monday: Jennifer works a double from 9a-Close for the "shotgun" Pro Am

Tuesday: I am the luckiest SOB and I get to work the Pro Am pairings party hosted by Justin poolside at the Red Rock resort!!! It's from 4-10p and it's invitation only. I literally shat, pissed and barfed on myself.

The pool where the party is at:



The other girls don't work Tuesday... they're gonna gamble and drink while I mingle with Timberlake. ;-) hate me, pleaseeee... I want you to. LOL

Wednesday: Jenn and I both work doubles for the celebrity Pro Am (in which Kirkpatrick is participating, so I hear...) we work 530a-7p -- Leticia is working it also, but just 530-noon.

Thursday: Jenn works the professional Pro Am for Corporate Hospitality (bring the big guys drinks and whatnot... LOL) from 8a-130p. Leticia works the same thing but from 1p-6p -- that sounds interesting.

Friday: Jenn and Leticia work the same schedule as above and Justin's concert is at Planet Hollywood at 9p.

Saturday: I'm working the Butch Harmon and Justin Timberlake golf clinic from 3p - 8p... *thanks God* Wow...

Sunday: The end of the tournament and Justin's presenting trophies and winnings at the 18th hole after the course is completed.

Monday: We leave Las Vegas at 8p. LOL

I seriously died when I heard that I got to work the pairings party. Seriously... gaaaaaah. I'm still dying. I don't know if I'll be able to make it 8 more days.

AHH. It's all I can think about now... fuck me sideways.

Here Comes The Sun

"Of your secrets, I have lots
I keep them in my locked box,
You were wrong this time
But you can never know,
Cuz I promised myself
That I would never show

I won't let you love me
I can't let you leave
I can't stand the sight of you
And you can't stand the thought of me"

Well kids, how we be?

8 days until Las Vegas... Does it feel like it?

No.

Am I the least bit prepared?

Of course not.

I realized on Bella's birthday that my camera battery was capped at his max. It was a terrible realization. :-( I didn't get very many pictures of Bella on her birthday at all... but she did manage to have a good one. She had a hamburger, we got her 2 new toys (a seahorse and a squid guy) a pumpkin blanket and new bacon treats! At the end of the day we had some vanilla cake and we sang her happy birthday.

I can't believe she's already three. This must be how mothers feel. It's insane.

Jenn got her new glasses! She's soo cute! They make her look amazing... her old ones were ghey.

I got my Heath Ledger GQ in the mail on Wednesday... says right on the parcel "DO NOT BEND" what do they do? Practically fold it to fit it in the mailbox... *mad* That was rude and uncalled for... don't worry, Heath's okay.

I've read some of my Heath book... it's so far very good and informative. :-) Thank you again Miss Gemma. I also haven't read the articles I got like a month ago, I haven't done anything with the Dark Knight or Ned Kelly poster that I got. Geez. I need help. LOL

I got 3 shirts on clearance on Wednesday from Target. 2 of them are polos one is pink and the other is pink and black... they actually look good on me. LOL And then I got this black shirt that I can't really explain but as soon as I put it on I knew I wanted to wear it to Coyote Ugly... LOL If that tells you anything about it. LOL

Jenn and I were sorting clothes on Wednesday and I found this scarf and it can soooo go with the new black shirt that I'm wearing to Coyote Ugly... just later in the week. LOL I'm not wearing a scarf to a country bar. Fuck that.

Today I looked cute. I wore this pair of jeans that I despise, but everyone complimented me. I wore this black tank top that is probably too small for me, since it doesn't cover my stomach and I'm totally Britney Spearsing it. LOL But no worries for the general public, I wore my blue zip up jacket that I wore to LA over it. It was cute. :-)

Later when I went to pick Jenn up from work I changed the tank top under it, put my cream colored scarf on and *gasp* wore tennis shoes!! ...Okay, okay... I give... they were pink Converse, but they had laces and I needed to wear socks! I'm making progress... LOL Usually you can't pay me to shove my damn feet in real shoes. Fuck shoes.

I took Jenn downtown today to take care of her license being suspended thing. She paid the whatever she owed but we have to go down to the actual DMV to reinstate her license... which we couldn't do today so we have to do Saturday... I told her that I was taking her to work tomorrow, which I did today because I had a follow up eye appt and the only time he could see me was when Jenn was at work... anyhow... I told her I was taking her to work and she said no... I told her not to call me from jail because I was sick of it.

When we both had suspended licenses she was caught twice driving while suspended... any more and they aren't going to be so lenient.

Anyhow... She gets it back Saturday morning.

Somehow I'm not registered to vote, btw... LOL doing that Saturday morning as well, which the 4th is the cut off date. I'll be pissed if I can't vote in this election because this one seems to be the election of a lifetime.

I'm done...

Pic.



His laugh, his smile... my God... it could cure cancer.

Alright, ya ya... you're right... it's not THAT great... the only thing I know that can cure cancer is Bella's kisses... hence, why I don't have cancer. ;-)

Instead of a clip today, I'll just give you two pics. LOL



When I hear the word "perfect" - you're all that comes to mind.
