Let it rock...

2008-12-02


I swear , I start out every blog about how much i miss my blog.



For Christmas I have a short list going... why i want CD's i dont know, as my music is totally portable, but something is fun about a CD.

-New Killers

-New Coldplay

-New Nickelback

-Tickets to go see Nickelback in April in Jax

-Singstar new version for Playstation

-A new cell- mine is G.H.E.T.T.O.

-some good valium

-a friend <-- Ok i am officially ready. How do you make a friend? i guess its not going around with a scowl on my face huh? God. boring. Salt life is good for me, but no matter where you go, the problems follow and although the novelty is NOT wearing off at all, i am afraid it will. I am enjoying the moments but also living in a haze. I dont want to work, feel guilty when i play ( because Wes is prob at work), need to exercise, .... Facebook is crazy- getting in touch with lots of people that i know from the way... past..... Same drama and click that was .... I am sooo over that shit. Fun to see where people are and what they are doing 20 yrs later though. omf. am i that old? We are going to have a lot of money in January with a business I am working on helping my rich brother.. (haha). Most people plan on saving. This is not in my plan. What i want to do with the money in no particular order. -Start my own college fund for the babies. My parents have one for them, but Florida has a great one that i want to begin. Wait! That's very responsible. -Pay off the last little bit on our cars. Wait! Yet again, responsible. -Take our trip to Greece. Chloe, are you there on my blog reads still? sigh, we have been planning this for years now. -Take the babies on a cruise. Fuck. They are going to be 10 and 8. babies no more, yet i can't help myself... maybe swim with dolphins or make some other great family memories. Things have been fah-ukkked not so long ago, and i love my life so much i want to just keep plugging along and making these precious memories. Wes said the other day how much he hates the word "blessed" as it is Christian-ese language, otherwise cliche , but there is no other word for it.


-Go see my friend in England for her birthday in April ( not the nickelback weekend).


Ok, i have a question, although i am prediciting your answer, assuming you are as big of a bitch as i am... WHYYY can 99 people do the right thing, but the "one" who doesn't act the way i think they should pisses me off?


The beach is a lovely place to be at Christmas. The people right across the street, with the teal house, have a nascar santa sleigh on their roof. NICE. and the people next to them have classy white lights illuminating their palm trees. we have gorgeous lights that are always on our balcony ( for when we have FRIENDS to set the mood outside) and added garland and more lights. so pretty. Got to love the beach. Everyone is so quirky... a touch redneck, a touch surfer, a touch dont give a shit, very unpretentious on my street... so fun. Fernandina is the neatest little town. I want to live here forever...


"so he stuck his middle finger to the world. to the world. to the world. "

ever have days like that?

thank God i am still anonymous , i couldnt handle the bullshit of un-newness...


how are you by the way? i miss you

Labels: ,

my desk- julia, friends pic, laugh out loud sign, rhino (symbolic of one of wes' tattooes) greece tour books, one from Chloe, G from Maddy, shells from a few beaches and my "well behaved women rarely make history" I gave this print to Wes- Golden Gate bridge- he drove me across it on our first date, to Marin County,. to seal watch , smoke pot and drink beer. romantic, no?

Holly over at Nothing But Bonfires is so fabulous! She's the kind of girl you read about and you really want to hate her. She is gorgeous! Her boyfriend is gorgeous! She has a quaint little British accent, travels the world, writes for a travel site, lives in my love San Francisco. etc, looks good in rain boots.. you know the sort! Her apartment got picked for a photo spread, and today she linked the pics and told about how nosy she is when she goes to someones apartment/home. I am the same way, but how rude it is to just stare and wander and look at someone's stuff.
I love my stuff! I think we have interesting stuff , but that is because it is ours..
I am tagging you to show me
1. what is hanging on your walls
2. anything on your counters that may be interesting.
I stopped when it started getting obnoxious. lol
So here goes... take a peek into our little home.



















I am not a mom who's kids have pottery barn rooms. its THEIR room. they can do what they want with it, include hang Spurs jerseys, California license plates and pics of longhorns.

Julia's baby dresses ( she wore the orange home from the hospital when she was 8 days old) on antique door knobs... lol. ok, i did put these up-they werent her idea.

Martini, Wine and Stella glasses, with Rocco in the back! I love my bakers rack

My babes

Jane took these too. the previous ones are waiting on frames to join this bunch. Look how sweet Jules is on my shoulder and Blake's big eyes! my honeys
I collect cookbooks.. Jamie Oliver and Rocco are by far my favorites

Some random bits of fug



- I am planning a retreat for 140 women. wht?? how did someone put me in charge>? yikes. It is gonna be phenom though. I am very excited, mostly about my trip up the day before to unwind before everyone gets there.



- I am a weirdo- when i go to the grocery store, i drive home, i go inside without the bags, leave them in the trunk of the car, till i feel like draggin them in , usually 45 min later. i just like to chill for a mo before unloading. lol. am i lazy?? maybe



-one should not take bendryl with icehouse , no?



-blue october is a f-ed up band. but good to sing a long to

- wonder how many times the texts that i send to wes never make it cause i accidentally send them to O'Charleys, the address under his in my phonebook? the one tonight said something like "play hard, be careful, dont get hurt, love u" .

- did you know that i ROCK in guitar hero? hmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmm/ whats your favorite tune? i have to say social distortion story of my life or the one by miss murder. if you dont play, well you just dont get it.

- i read other blogs and think 'how profound their writing" and how enlightening their writing and here i go messing up cyberspace with my dribble? ug. oh well. i do love my neglected blog, .

- i am in da funk AGAIN. gah. will it ever end? this meaningless search of bars called O'malleys and islands in the sun that make me feel so fine i can't control my brain? if i dont get a vaca soon, i shall surely explode

- read 90 minutes in heaven. you can buy it at the grocery store for crying out loud! GET. IT.
