that funky monkey chunky....

i just like that song. anyway, i need to get a proper post togetha but i have had no time.


aruba is officially on in three weeks. get ready islanders, the ho is coming!

Eventually. In the meantime I have accomplished a new personal record of most hours spent awake in 96 hour period. Less than 8 hours of sleep and back at work and I feel fine.
I don't think I ever plan on doing this again but I suppose the human body is pretty resilient.

Went to Vegas brought the dramz and crazy... Now I will return to boringness which is actually how I prefer it.

I will pay some pics later or tomorrow!

I'm going to get the sparkle lollipop right now! Vegas baby!

Throw them at people you don't like.


At least I still have Aruba.

I want a different job.

i was successful with the hike today, although i wish we had done the whole 4 miles, it was pretty humid. i think i am going to get an earlier start on saturday, so i can go all the way.

after the hike i made some yummy breakfast for my cousin Aubrey and myself, and then we headed out to get here some hiking shoes, and to to see g force, that movie with the talking FBI agent hamsters...

sometimes i think i like kid's movies more than adult films because they are cute and i enjoy a talking animal or two. i also enjoy laughing at silly things... such as talking FBI agents hamsters.


anyway, we finished getting the shoes so quickly and had time to kill so we roamed whole foods, and i had the most amazing tea spritzer thing, and the barista man probably thought i was crazy because i made him explain to me exactly how he makes it and then look up the nutrition info for me; but i recommend it cuz it was goooood!

after the tea, we roamed around for a tasty treat and decided that dried shitake mushroom snacks were not a good movie type treat, and neither was sushi. we headed down the frozen aisle and i stopped to show Aubs the Haagen-Daz ice cream bars that are seriously the best ever, and we came across this:




so, we had to get them because the little guy on the front is zipping away his rice crispie covering and revealing his ice cream inside; how seductive. we then laughed for about 5 minutes, and decided we must have them and also save the box.

there are three flavors; suzy cube(strawberry), esquival(vanilla), and, dave(chocolate).

we decided on dave, and omg they are so freakin good! the rice crispie tastes homemade and if you let it sit out for a bit the ice cream softens and it's just the best thing ever. now, go get some! not only is the packaging the most cute, and silly, but it is the most yummy for your tummy.

here is a pic of the breakfast, i put some truffle oil and garlic, pork tenderloin, vine ripened tomato, garlic, sea salt and pepper, in a frying pan, let it all heat up and added in some eggs and fresh mozzarella... mmmm, then mixed in some fresh basil and voila!





and lastly, the talking hamsters/gerbils:

just finished working on my fitness for the first time in a month.


i guess my whole plan didn't work, but i am back on like pam and tommy lee; minus all the white trashiness of course.

anyway, it was kinda rough, but you forget that it feels good to make your body do something other than stuff it with delicious fatty treats.

i refuse to look bad in aruba.

so: hiking tomorrow, 0545 am. bringing large quantities of water as the high for today is 115. also bring cell phone and younger cousin, for support and possible emergency rescue situation.

ARUBA! T MINUS 23 DAYS!!!!!!!!! YESAMESH!!!!!!!

i was convinced to apply for this job, and i really hope i am not being bs'd because i have put a lot of effort into this!

to prove my asian cooking skills i made udon noodles from scratch, as well as beef balls which are a vietnamese dish...

i created a teriyaki sauce and stir fried the noodles with oyster mushrooms, sugar snap peas, green onions, and marinated and grilled pork tenderloin.

this process started with creating the dough at 6:45 am.

at the very least, i proved to myself what an amazing little chef-y i am!

i cannot tell you how much i love my little niece, she is a ball of smushy joy and love.

my heart melts every time i see her precious face, and i get really sad just thinking about her because i miss her so much!

the hair bow you see in her hair would actually be one of the hair bows i bought in the baby section at target for myself. i think they are cute for adults as well, but i have given them all to the babes... must get more.

here are some pics from her visit last week..

i think she looks so much like (e:hodown), no? she should just steal her, and i will move to nyc and it can be baby time...

ps. doesn't my momma look good?!?

i am trying to get this job, which would entail moving to nyc for 4 months...

it would be an amazing opportunity, and could possibly lead to bigger things, or just be 1/3 year adventure. i am fine with either.

anyway, im pretty sure most (e:strip)pers can attest to my amazing culinary skills, but i find myself frustrated that i never take photos of anything i do.

anyway, my goal for tomorrow night is heading to the asian market to find ingredients for some asian dishes i can whip up tomorrow night or monday morning to show photo evidence of my skill, lol. maybe i just just make a video and set it to some nice asian tunes????

i am crossing my fingers for the next two weeks, because i want this job!

i like the unknown and i like a challenge...

so there is this candy company sugar factory, and they make the most amazing product... a lollipop with a reusable bedazzled handle and twist off candy tops!



i love lollipops, and these are my lollipop dream come true. i dreamed about them all last night, and i must have some! i am going to give them as gifts too. what could be more amazing than candy as accessory?

they only have one store in vegas and another opening in la soon, so they have to be purchased online, and they are way overpriced at $22, and $70 for a box set of four, but i don't care i must have one.

and on to other topics... why would you call someone to say you are mad at them over something completely lame and irrelevant from over a week ago, and then hang up when the other person says you are being lame? i am done with fussy little drama queens/kings.

i really dislike my job except for today when all of administration was gone and i didn't have to call the sup every time i walked away from the desk. plus i didn't have to complete a million tasks for everyone that likes to give their work to others to finish.

and i want to lollipop.... oh lolli, lolli, lolli...

(e:hodown) wants a couture pop too! i thought she would think i am lame because the whole thing somewhat is, but she likes them. they are a blingee lolli dream come trueeeeee!
