they call me quiet, but im a riot!

I apologize for not posting sooner.

As some of you know, my birthday was on the 20th.

That morning i woke up.

Packed my pool bag. 

Headed to get some sun.

Soon after my good friend Guy called saying he'd be on his way with some grub and drinks.

Ryan "Tank" arrived after that but ran into the pool-side gym for a 20min workout in attempt to look twice his size for the pool.

Then Michael with his very mirror-like aviators which were perfect for checking my hair.

Callie who is literally the most beautiful person ive ever known.  

Bryce came ready to eat everything.

Robbie M. my 15 yr old "daughter" who came with the best present in the world. (a light up glitter filled bouncy ball-nothing better)

Charley who came fully dressed/showered (very sweet of him, except it was a pool party.)

Chase came already laughing and ready to have a good time.

Hannah ACTUALLY GOT IN THE POOL IN A BIKINI! (applaud.)

BBQ, Strawberry cake, Cherry Limeade, Tanning oil, SUNNBLOOCKKK....

It was a perfect sunny day for being at the pool with the greatest friends in the world.

That night we all went to City Stages. (well, we all met up there.)

I dont even think we knew who was playing being that we had stayed at the pool too long missing anyone we had planned to see.

We bought tickets from a really cool "naw-i-aint-a-bum-these-iz-real-tickets" guy. He informed us that "I got cheerinz, and i aint want nobody to do them wrong." So we bout 5 tickets for $20 instead of $28. WOO. ....and they worked!

Pretty good bands played. 

The atmosphere was pleasant.

Got to see my good friend Zac. 

Got to use a port-a-potty.

We found Zydeco's dance floor, which was like being in Baton Rouge at thanksgiving with my family. 

Danced until we could barely move.

Laughed until we couldn't breathe.

BEST BIRTHDAY EVER.

HANDS DOWN.

No Doubt

This past friday Hannah, Ryan and i drove to Atlanta to see No Doubt and Paramore play. It was a great drive. Fun getting to hang out, listen to good (and not so good) music. For dinner hannah and i had Starbucks and Happy Meals. We stopped at the mall there in atlanta to try and find and atm and a bathroom. During our stop there we found a pet store. Hannah and i have been dying to get a teeny dog for our apartment being that we are both single, she is home alone for most of the day, and i want something to squeal over. As soon as we walked into the store, one of the workers plops a baby pomeranian in my arms. PURE LOVE. Who knew something so annoying and furry and orange would make me melt. I have to have one. my birthday is in less than two weeks and i am taking donations for the "pom fund." 

Later on we finally made it to the concert. Traffic had been awful, but my gosh ive never been to such a fun show in my entire life... and believe me, hannah and i have had our fair share.

Ryan just stared at the stage the whole time and played bodyguard to us two screaming jumping maniacs.

it was waffle house for a midnight snack (meal) on the way home.

 

My life in 3D

Yesterday was a good day.

Work was interrupted by Grams bringing me to get some lunch.

She drives like a 16 year old on their first drive alone trying to look in the rear view mirror to put on sparkly pink lip gloss while dancing to Top 20 marathon on the local pop station.

Which is too much fun and led to some unintentional mini off-roading experiences. 

We split my favorite strawberry cake from Newk's which i somehow was allowed to treat her to.

It was one of those days ill remember forever.

After work i decided (well i had actually decided when i woke up) that i would be headed to the pool.

Hannah agreed to go but warned me she would be fully dressed.

About midway into my chilly swim it started to sprinkle, which immediately made her disappear (i assumed back to the apt.)

Shortly after her going m.i.a. she returned... still fully dressed, holding a extra large golfing umbrella in one hand and a cup of tea in the other.

This is my best friend and roommate, Hannah.

She couldn't have been anymore prepared and i couldn't have laughed any harder.

That night we planned a spontaneous dinner which consisted of Moe's, Zaxby's, and the three of us repeating lines from Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Afterwards we took a quick trip to WalMart to load up on  (cheaper) candy to "sneak" into the theatre. (c'mon... they know whats in that XXL purse you DONT need to watch a movie.)

Up in 3-D.

Absolutely adorable.

I was crying in the first five min.

.....and falling asleep the next... (this is a given and was totally expected.)

My friends are aware that anytime we watch something- movie/tv- whatever.. after dark: im out, and then i become a living table for friench fries, cell phones, cokes, pizza...

We have pictures to prove it.

Anyway back to the movie.

We loved our 3D glasses and decided not to put them back in the recycle can outside the doors but to keep them for a better time and place.

ill post pictures soon.

Salty Lip

The beach was wonderful.

i used 50 spf the entire time and still turned into an african american.

i did, unfortunately, forget to apply sunblock on my lips. 

let me rephrase that...

i refuse to rub that stuff on my lips.

so it burnt. and burnt badly.

as if someone held a magnifying glass with the sun pointed to my lip just to see what would happen.

the result?

a hole. a blistering hole.

it makes me drool. 

and i smile like i have no feeling in my lower jaw.

"how do you eat?"

well, i eat like a walrus with my head straight up in the air.

Salt=hospitalization

Thank you God for creating Burt who made "Burts Bees: Res-Q-Lip Balm." (i just wish he wouldnt have made it pine flavored.)
