The NYC Surprise

So remember the last time I posted, I had promised pics of the KICK ASS bday gift from NE?
(If you don’t recall, just see the post below this one. You’ll be up to date after that.)

Well here’s a little background on the gift:
You should first know that I am a blog stalker.
Not yours of course, so you can relax.
And not in a creepy hide in the bushes with a stocking cap, soap on a rope and pair of tweezers kind of way either, so don’t call the cops.
But I enjoy humor and wit and when I find blogs that make me laugh, I read them.
Often.
And then without their permission...I start following them. (I think that’s the stalker part)

Anywho, my current fave is Alison Rosen.
I always envision her and I being friends in another life.
The type of friends that have so much fun together just laughing at each other (and ourselves).
We would spend Saturdays complimenting the other on their great one liners & sharp use of the English language. Making puns about clever things and what have yous.
Ok you can see that this is turning creepy.
And I don't want you to think of me as a creep so I will stop.
Back to the birthday story…

NE was in NYC last week celebrating a birthday that was not mine with a person that was not me.*
And while she was there, she discovered a little lady named Alison was performing stand up.
So she went to the said comedy show and met Alison. (who's the stalker now, huh?)
Normally, I would be upset/jealous with NE for busting in and trying to steal quality hang out time with my “next life BFF” but she redeemed herself by getting this:


YES. That is Alison with a BDAY WISH for LL!

And this is me doing a re-enactment of opening the surprise.
Because the original was awful and clearly I don’t want to post pics of me looking disgusting on a blog my future BFF might see.


Doesn't my thumb kinda look like a midget thumb?
And I just made a mental note to declutter the refrigerator door.

I also got an “I HEART NY” t-shirt in the right size because when I asked my mother to complete that mission for me last year I ended up with a man’s size Large.
Thanks mom!
AND NE!





*I guess this is where I should mention Happy Birthday to Ryan! Yay for being a Taurus. Boo for taking my roomie to the Big Apple without me.

Birthday News

Silly me, I was so worried about turning 27, I forgot to mention my lover's birthday too.

Matt (Leinart. My husband.) celebrated his birthday on 5/11.
Which reminds me, it's so nice to be able to spend the holidays together.
Which reminds me, its also so nice to spend big events like the Super Bowl together.
Which reminds me, how cute are we?!




Happy Birthday Matty!

Oh, and in case you were wondering how I spent the 9853rd day of my life...

Also, NE came home from NYC with the best gift ever! Pics to come soon, but I'm sure you won't appreciate them as much as me.

Not because you don't care, just because I care that much more.

The Vampire, Really?!

America, mainly the teenage girl population, I have a bone to pick with you:

1) Kris Allen (Nick Lachey Jr if you will) over Danny?
b) Adam the Vampire over Danny?



I get the love of Kriss. He's the cutest little bug in the room and he has charisma and when he plays the guitar it sounds like the boy you had a crush on in High School.


But Adam?!
OMG he freaks me out.
He wears more make up than a tranny.
His hair is in some sort of idenity crisis.
He is built like Frankenstein,
AND he screams.
ick.

I swear on a pair of black leggings, if you vote for him in the finale there will be a Tivo throw thru a window.



Lets all take a moment and say goodbye to Danny, my sunshine and rainbow raspy voiced idol.

Avoiding the Birthday Blues

26 years, 360 days and counting.

I’m totally trying to win the fight with 27.
The birthday that numerically pushes me into my “LATE TWENTIES”.

Ugh. Stupid Father Time.

Here is a breakdown on the recent rouds of action.*

27, look out! I’m gonna kick your ass.

Round 1:
LL
: Bought a new car.
27: Lowered my insurance rates.
(winner: LL)

Round 2:
LL: New hairstyle. I love it!
27: told by a co worker I look “older and edgy”.
(winner: 27?)

Round 3:
LL: Trying to work on a healty lifestyle.
27: Chipped a back tooth
(winner: 27)

Round 4:
LL
: Won “Best Speaker” award at Toastmasters
27: I’m in Toastmasters. And it was a speech about my mom.
(winner: 27)


So allegedly, 27 in winning.
Any ideas on a comeback in 5 days are welcomed.



*I said that in my best Mike Goldberg announcer voice. I think he would be impressed.

Feliz Cinco De Mayo

I bet you didn't know I spoke spanish, did you?
Well, its true.
Spanish blog to come soon.
(Like when I really learn the language and not just the words that help me at the bars/cantinas)*

In the meantime, this post is pretty much universal:

* words/phrases like: cerveza, bano, no mas tequila, gracias, no gracias and im still working on "please remove your hand from my boob".
