Um Jessica do you have a tatoo?

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 momâ€™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!

that thing looked so hideous on, like a poop stain on the back of my neck.

Plus we all know if you had a tattoo it would be of hello kitty.

I like the aviators! I'm happiest when I can wear them outside.

Shrimps

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.

Yes it can be. Although being stoned while making them would prob hinder the final product.

jason - 04/17/09 16:56
I guess I'm still blown away. Can that be considered stoner cuisine?

paul - 04/17/09 12:11
You are so making those when you come to visit next. I also commented on (e:businesscheese)'s journal because I hadn't seen yours yet.

businesscheese - 04/17/09 11:46
I do and I'll blog them up right now!!!!

They were crack. You succeeded in winning Greg's affection.

Salvatores

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.

i think italian grandmother's house decorated for Easter is my favorite decorating style!

It's good to be back

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.

businesscheese - 04/16/09 17:27
Yay! I'm glad you're back, too.

And I can't think of a better welcome wagon than wine and snacks with your favorite bitches on a private deck overlooking Manhattan.
