One year Anniversary & My Lesbian pet
It has been a productive day but my allergies and asthma are paying for it .I am highly allergic to dust and my asthma is allergy induced so FUN FUN for me ..lol I got smart today FINALLY and bought me some masks ..I had to wear one at work all day ...lmao It was either look goofy wearing a Dr.'s mask all day or not be able to breathe ....needless to say I chose breathing ..lol It is amazing the looks and questions you get while wearing one ..People would ask me what was wrong and back up like they were going to catch something ..lol I came very very close to pinning a sign to myself saying " I have allergy induced asthma ..I am not contagious " Guppy said I should have told them all I was allergic to stupid questions ..lol Anyway ,we are in the home stretch of my house cleaning spree and my moms arrival .She arrives Thursday afternoon ,I am so excited :) YEAH!!!
P.S. I think PetCo sold us a male guinea pig telling us it was female ..Because it is chasing the other female around trying to mount her ..Sooooo I either have a lesbian guinea or THEY SOLD ME A MALE!!!! OMG ..I will smooth trip if this is true ...Everyone pray that I just have a freaky guinea pig and it it not male ..lol

Trendy Lunch ?
Well it started about two weeks ago .I started craving sushi big time .I was determined to eat some yesterday .Well we went over to his mom's to see how the painting of her new home office was going and she was hungry as well ..So John and I and her and her man all went out for a nice dinner...A dinner minus sushi ..lol Soooooo today for lunch I got to craving it again and went to the Super Target .A friend of mine told me they had great sushi and man was she right ..It was awesome .I got a dragon roll .Oh to verify something ...I eat fake sushi ..lol Not the raw fish kind .( I tried the raw kind once and it taste like chewing a fishy rubberband ) The only way I will eat it is if it has imitation crab meat in it .Anyway this one had the crab and carrots and avocado ..Oh man I am getting hungry again thinking about it .Anyway ,after getting my sushi I swung by the Starbucks that is inside the Target right as you leave ..lol A tall decaf Mocha frappachino was calling my name ...lol .I was standing at the counter ordering ,sushi in hand , and Guppy is like " I just can't eat this trendy " ..I was like "what " ..and thought about it for a second and was like .." You know it does seem kinda trendy doesn't it ..lol " ." I didn't intend for it to be ,it just kind of happened that way " . We get my frappa and head on over to Taco Cabana to get him some "not so trendy " fajita nachos ...lol I have no idea why I thought my lunch selection was blogable but hey ,what the heck right ...lol Gotta blog about something for the day .Anyway , I am off to do some housework and to watch Hitch after Gup gets back ...
Hope everyone is having a great weekend !!!

T.G.I.F.
Hahahaha it is so hot here I found myself today listening to "It's cold outside " by Jessica Simpson and Nick....Just to cool off ...I love that song and it reminds me of the winter and Christmas ...Maybe if I turn the air down enough I can pretend it is snowing out ...lol Well I am sorry I have been away for a few days ..I think I am so use to working and writing out notes for people to do that it carried over to home ...I wrote two pages of "honey we must do's " for Guppy and I to do before the 4th ...stuff like wash the dog ,wash the car ,scrub out the fridge , sweep down driveway ..and on and on ...lol Have I ever told you guys how very anal I am about my house ..especially when company is coming ? I like everything perfect ..having said that I am well aware that friends and family come to see you and not your house .lol I say I know that but you can not get my brain to register that if the house is not perfect everything will be ok ..lol I mean down to the most minute detail like dusting ceiling fans or wiping down around door knobs ..lol I am a freakkkkkkkkkkk ...Can anyone say OCD? I think if I would allow myself to do so I would clean constantly ...I do not of course allow that ..lol But it constantly bugs me while I am not cleaning ...Anyway enough about that ..lol
I am going to finish listening to "Let it snow " and get to checking some things off my list ....:) oh and btw I think the songs are working ...lmao it is feeling a lil cooler in here .hahahhahaha !!! Have a great weekend All !!!!

A Bo Bice e-mail addy
I was surfing around on the Bo Bice site that I have under my links, and found a link to his bands (Sugarmoney) site ..While browsing around I found a little tiny button that said e-mail Bo ..I got all giddy for a sec thinking I had just struck gold then realized it is probably some president of the band fan club answering e-mails ...God am I always this skeptical ? Anyway I thought atleast it would make for a good post for all the Bo fans ....So if anyone is willing and wants to e-mail Bo here is the link :) Oh and also if you click on this link it is the main page of that site ..It features a lil clip of Bo singing :) That is always a plus in my book ...Anywho ....Hope everyone is having a fabulous start to their weekend.I am off to get dinner done .We are having yummy fajita nachos..mmmmmmmmmmmm man I am starving ..lol
Before I go here is a pic I found on that site that I like alot ..here is Bo looking all Kid Rockish and stuff ..lol :
P.S.Even though I am skeptical ..lol If anyone actually e-mails him and gets a response I so wanna hear about it ....heheheheh

( I also tag Guppyman because I am very curious to hear his answers ..lol
http://guppyman.blogspot.com/
Let the game begin:
1. I miss playing with my cousins ..I was the only girl amongst all the cousins ..lol So we played Hot Wheels ,Star Wars ,kill the man ( kind of like tackle football ) ,We would play Horse and Pig with the basketball ,We would use a tape recorder and one person would be the news reporter and the other like a surfer that was being interviewed ..lol My mom still has those tapes .They are too funny .One of them has me talking like a Valley Girl ...lol I miss climbing trees and hanging out in them for hours ...
2. I have to agree with the missing the house part .I miss coming home from school ,changing in to my swim suit and swimming until dark ...I grew up in Vegas so that was a relief from the heat . I miss hanging out with my best friend Jenn ..I swear we were inseparable for years ..I miss sleep overs and late night phone calls ..
3. I miss the anticipation of everything ..Like birthdays and holidays ..I remember looking so forward to all those things and counting them down .I remember it seemed like they were sooooooo far away from each other ..Now the years just fly ..I miss living for Saturday Morning cartoons ..I would wake up and get me a bowl of cereal and veg out on cartoons all morning ..( until mom and dad got up and going and made us go outside and play ..lol )
4. I miss getting my aunts ,uncles and cousins together and all the families going to Lake Mead to camp and fish all weekend .I miss staying the weekends in Boulder City with my sister (best friend ) Ebony and her parents ..We would take the boat out and just get lost on the lake for the whole weekend ..We would ride out to the middle of the lake and jump in and swim all day ..Then at night we would pull into a cove and camp out ..It was awesome .I miss making up dances to our favorite songs ;like Abracadabra by Steve Miller Band ...
5.I miss baking with my mother. She taught me at a very early age how to make snickerdoodles ..By the time I was 8 years old I could make them totally by myself except turning the stove on and actually putting them in and taking them out ..I still love those today ..MMMMMMMMM I am getting hungry ..I can still smell them cooking ..:)
Thank you Ivy for the tag :) It was fun going down memory lane ..I enjoyed it ...

Someone please ...PLEASE tell me why women insist on peeing all over the seats in public bathrooms and not cleaning it up ...There is nothing worse then having to peee very much badly....searching a place for the bathroom ...standing in line doing the pee pee dance only to get in the damn stall and have to clean it from top to bottom before relieving yourself ..GRRRRRRRRR why why why ..Do these people do this at home ? I have yet to go into someones home and see urine and other unmentionables all over the place ...What is the friggin deal ...I am so annoyed by that ..can you tell?
Also Guppy and I are "supposed" to be in a wedding tommorrow ..His father and stepmom are renewing there vows ..They never had an actual wedding and were inspired by ours to do so ..Well we have known about this wedding since about December of last year right? ....right!!! ....Well she informs us like three weeks ago that we are actually in it ...That all the kids and their spouces and the grandkids are playing a part in it ...ok well nice to ask or even let us know this in advance there .....lmao I mean really ..Ok so I am ok with that part, even with short notice, right ..BUTTTTTTTTTT!!!!.... she goes on to tell us what we must wear now ...A blue dress is what I get told ..first of all blue is not my color ...second of all I am not a dress kinda woman ..lol so I tell her I would wear a blue dress shirt and black dress pants and my heels ..NOooo she says ...Well ya know what? ....Too bad I am wearing the pants..lol ..I refuse to go out on such short notice and purchase a dress I would never wear again ..Is that to bitchy of me ? I mean let me know IF I am wrong here ..I think it is great that they are doing this ...wonderful they are involving family ..but earlier communication would have been nice ...Also the rehearsal was tonight and do you think any of us were told when ,where ,how ?
