bigger, better fish to fry

Don't you forget about me by Simple Minds

i knew a husband would come in handy.

the most stylish item in a 3 acre radius

Here is a review that I read about a cardigan I was thinking of purchasing online:

"I was planning on getting this item at full pice and then it went down below fifty percent off and my jaw dropped quietly in my head. I purchased it in both grey and black, both are stunning. I like wearing it best with the hood type of thing but it also looks fantastic as just part of the draping. I could easily go out naked with just this cardigan on and people would still stare at the cardigan. Not only does it look good but it feels like you're rubbing yourself with cake in that it feels very soft and luxurious. If you don't buy this after reading the vast supply of raving reviews I pray that you may find some mental help before it is too late."

I then proceeded to add this item to my bag.

penny's likes: apples, lettuce, strawberries, hay, my hair, my armpits--she tickles them and i think she likes my reaction, dave's massages, our new carpet, running wild in our apartment, being on our bed, strawberry yogurt bites, the plastic bag of strawberry yogurt bites, playing with her sock monkey, being pet on her head for as long as she can get anyone to, when we come home from work, running circles around our feet, jumping on us like we're a playground, and last because it's the best--sitting on our feet when dave and i hug.

penny's dislikes: carrots, radishes, potatoes, being in her cage, when we tell her "no", linoleum floor, wood floor, being held for too long, strange men's voices, and being alone.

just signed penny up for a bunny dating service. 

she is in dire need for a companion.

but only after we get her spayed next friday.

poor lil bun.

we love her so.

Lovely legs there are
What a big black mass
With a hunk of love
Walk her every day into a shady place
He's like the dark, but I'd want him

Last night, while the girls were over -alison and marie- we stumbled upon quite the xbox live message that was sent to Dave at 4:30am that morning. Let me explain before hand. People on xbox are nuts. They are mostly 8 year old boys who fart, burp, and curse the entire time. They send friend requests and messages when they see someone who is really good and they want to boost their xbox status. There are only a few girls that play on xbox and all the boys want girls in their clan, so this message is a rare gem especially since Dave only randomly played with her during one game and apparently, she likes to take the  initiative. 

FROM: B3AR x GUMMY,

"if your hot message me back :} BTW i have TITS"

Well, how explicit is this young lady.

The girls and I wrote back.

FROM: DEVASTATINGDAV3

"me too. two pairs of them. one is on my backside."

Haven't heard from B3AR x GUMMY yet. 

thanks mum for purchasing this vhs when we really had no money. still my all time fave.

Papa and Penny chilling in her new room.

Blood by The Middle East

i may be pushing my luck... dave and i MAY have learned how to share a queen, QUEEN size comforter. i don't know how we did it.

okay, i'm glad these small things can make me laugh.

it's been a hard couple of days...

goodbye. in some ways, i will always be in love with you.

now let's talk about edward sharpe. oh wait i didn't go. yes that should blow everyone's mind. I damn being a grown up sometimes. 

anxiety intervention

i need one. except one where instead of telling me to get off xanax or whatever drug that i am addicted to, they tell me you need to take drugs. you are dying from anxiety. take these drugs. it'll help. 

jk, mother. don't take that literally. although, you did raise me... apple didn't fall too far from the tree, eh?

moving and ornery. no sleep last night. anxiety runs my life.

whoop de whoop

oh goodness. i had a lot of fun at work today. i barely did anything! 

the computer system was down for my entire shift.

so i didn't have anything to really work on.

i never hang out with employees and i did today!

it's not that i don't like them, hopefully they don't think that.

i just always busy myself cause i have a guilty conscious if i play around and get paid. 

but i really likes everyone that i work with. 

sock monkey lovins.

so there was this one time.

where dave and i came home from a delicious meal at... malowis.

and we fell asleep in our bed so content with our full bullies and loving the warmth that we felt as we drifted away...

hour later i awoke. still groggy but feeling very rest-full. i look over at dave.

he is still fast asleep with his arm above his head, laying there in his red flannel.

i lean over, hover above him, kiss his lips. not in a dirty way may i add... but just a simple, covered, we are who we are... kiss.

he groans and turns over.... away from me... hahaha.

i felt a certain wave of love and peace wash over me.

is this too mushy? it might be.

from a last summer adventure. shoshone falls

who wants to see winnie the pooh with me?

i wanna wear these everyday come winter. 

everyday so that it looks like i don't own and can't afford anything else.

everyday so that everyone knows ahead of time what i'll look like.

everyday so that when people describe me, this is what they will think of.

Hiding Tonight by Alex Turner

jacob lake, arizona

found this last picture just barely. he must've taken it right after i took a picture of him sleeping. what a silly.

ps

i may or may not be seen wearing my mother's 1980s "high speed" high waisted bicycle spandex all weekend long. i just want to spell comfy.

Going camping this weekend at Jacob's Lake with the whole familia.

If it's anything like last year where I got to baby a baby owl then I know it's going to be just neat.

I seriously look homeless.

We're bringing Penny on the trip too... Hopefully she doesn't get eaten by bears, or owls... do owls eat rabbits? 

I hope to have some time to read in the trees cause I have soooo many books that I wanted to read this summer and I'm STILL in the middle of The Tipping Point!

In other news, we're moving in two weeks! Get out, crazy! I know. We're really excited and we've already started packing. We're probably the most excited for HBO... ha.

Amazing.
