A few days ago I picked up my mail (it's not something I do on a regular basis) and in the regular pile of bills and junk was a small package from Mike. I literally squealed in delight as I opened the package and saw what was inside:


Anything involving stickers I love


"Maxin' and relaxing thinking about my girl"


Sweet note from Mikey


Fuzzy pink Hello Kitty Diary with stickers AND glitter pen. Thankfully it's for ages 3 and up so it's safe for me to use.

THANK YOU MIKE I TOTES LOVE MY GIFT!!!

On my way back to the City from AZ I made my usual stop at Sprouts for my favorite sandwich: bacon, avocado and turkey on multigrain. I was the first customer at the counter and I figured in 5 minutes I'd be on my way to meet Momma Ho for my ride to the airport. It's a fairly simple sandwich to make, however the woman behind the counter took literally 20 minutes to make it. She did a lot of chopping and moving things around and looking confused. When she handed me the final product I had this feeling that I should open the package and inspect the sandwich (which is something I never normally do). Turns out I should have listened to my gut. Once I was on the plane ready for my 5 hour flight I opened the wrapper and took a huge bite and was perplexed. Like a idiot I took a second bite. It was then that I realized what the problem was. Raw bacon. I was deathly ill for the second time in one week. Have you ever been sick in a airplane bathroom? I'd rank it up there with top 5 least favorite things in my life.

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.

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!

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.
