Me: I am not dramatic.

Sarah: OMG you are so dramatic.

Me: Um. No.

Sarah: You take it to the next level. You have drama and then you instill fear into the general public.

Me: Oh. I can't argue that.

After the world's most dramatic vacation (I blame PMS for my insanity) I'm back in the city. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this as I kinda just wanted to go somewhere and forget about life period.

Turns out being back is not so bad. When I arrived at work everyone was actually happy to see me. It's a nice feeling. And despite having a shit load of work, I'm not hating work at all.

And the icing on the cake: Saks is having a huge sale. I went and bought some lip balm, various face creams (I'm such a sucker for that junk) and (drum roll) Marc Jacobs sunglasses.

Basically I'm going to use work and retail therapy to drown my sorrows. As of day one it's working.

Behold my bounty from Saks:




They were giving this stuff away like it was going out of style. I plan on sharing some of the bounty with e:businesscheese (shh don't tell her it's going to be part of her bitches gift bag)

In Feb when Momma Ho and I went to visit le bebe we stayed at Salvatores. It was amazingly tacky. It was pretty much like staying at your Italian Grandmothers House if it was decorated for Easter.

A month or so ago e:businesscheese's 'rents came into town. Like everything else in my life it turned into a competition into who could win their affections. Papa e:businesscheese hearts 3 things: Cap'n Crunch, Coca Cola and Shrimp. I combined 2 of his loves into one delicious appetizer. Needless to say they were a hit.



First you take fresh whole jumbo shrimp. Peel and de-vein.


Dip in seasoned flour then egg.


And most importantly the Cap'n Cruch. I love how it's Cap'n Crunch and not Captain Crunch.


Fry.

I don't have any pictures of the finished product, but they were delicious.

While in Arizona Sarah and I made the pilgrimage to the gas station taco joint. I love this place because of their amazing taco action. They also usually have amusing vending machine trinkets. This past time we both got temporary tattoos. My sister totally scored with a wizard/Viking tattoo.

Fast forward to home: We applied the tattoo and then took pictures of it with my mom’s camera. My mom then went through her camera and saw the picture. The following day I was doing her hair and she casually asks "Do you have a tattoo Jessica?". I could not believe that #1 she would think that I'd have a tattoo before Sarah and #2 that I would get a wizard/Viking tattoo of all things!

I didn't actually watch Miss USA last night because that's 2 hours of my life that I'd never be able to get back. I also knew that the best parts would be on the gossip blogs this morning. I was right.

Miss California managed to make a fool of herself. Just watch and see for yourself:

*My favorite part is at the end when Perez looks like he wants to bitch slap her for being so stupid.
