happy thanksgiving

this year has been one hot mess after another. i'm ready for the new. thanksgiving is the beginning of the crazy holiday season, which i love. come monday i'm putting up the christmas tree, taking all the fall decorations down, and turning on the lights i've already hung up.

the holidays are the only thing i have to hold onto as sad as it sounds. really can't get any worse than this, can it?

AHHH, HALLOWEEN <3

im sitting here on my lunch break enjoying a V8 fusion. pretty good
stuff. im not a fan of the regular V8 (BLECHHHH). this is strawberry
banana and i could drink it everyday.

anyways, what's up? long time no see. halloween is tomorrow and im
REALLY excited. i bought a french maid costume. i need to run around
tonight and finish getting things together for it. it's really short so
i need some spanx type underwear to wear under it (or really short black
shorts, like dance ones). it's a playboy costume and im SO excited that
it fit. kyla is having a party but ill probably end up at the bar after
that. first halloween that I've actually done something so yay.

hope all is well and maybe ill make this more priority. :) we will
see.

first day of spring? NOT

last weekend we were in toronto to see a few shows for canadian music
week. it was hipster paradise. okay, so a little more so than usual.
we did a lot of shopping, drinking, and eating. friday night we had
dinner with the twins at jack astor's. i can only describe it as a
higher class applebee's. by higher class i do mean a little more
pricey. while we waited for the twins, i bought a round of shots (holla
butter crowns. wait until chicago thans, just you wait) and a drink.
$25, not bad. i spent $100 on dinner for ash and i.....what did i eat?
it was good.

we had sushi on saturday. it's what i wanted, just once, while being in
toronto. we don't have any place that serves it other than fishbones
and i don't like theirs. i tried eel. it sounds worse than what it
tastes like. it was bbq. so good. i also had some salmon rolls (i
think philly rolls, i don't remember). MMM RAW FISH. honestly, you
wouldn't even be able to tell it was raw. one of the appetizers on the
boat had raw salmon and it was delicious.

we saw the ting tings and then ash and i ventured out with sarah and
tonya for a bit. we wanted to party until 4 a.m., they were serving til
then that night, but we all pooped out. went back and passed out. it
was a blast and i could so see myself living in toronto!!!

next up, tinted windows in chicago. what a shit show it will be!!!

beat.

alyssa left for tulsa yesterday. i won't see her until may and then we
are going back for dfest. i plan on eating sushi, watching step
brothers with ashley until i wet myself, and drinking 42 oz.
margaritas. and no one will stop me.

know what is funny?

"toms shoes, providing shoes for kids for 3 1/2 minutes"

i was reading notes in my sidekick and died laughing. thanks for that
one, muff!

shopping trips and tunes

i spent yesterday looking for new music and it was great. i spent two
hours doing it and im heading home to make a mix or two for alyssa for a
going away gift.

that's bobo (the pic). hahahah riley, our middle pup, loves them. i
also got a boyf sweater for $6 and skinnies for $11 from target. AND
THINGS TO MAKE FOR BABY COLE!!! im so excited to meet this new little
person.

so excited for tonight. sad to see her go, though. :(

the biggest loser~

it's starting today. im not looking to lose, but just get motivation
from my friends to keep on my diet and a healthier life style. i was so
good for almost eight months with not eating meat. trb proved i can go
without pop (tea, iced tea, a pop OCCASIONALLY will do me over). five
days and all i had was one coke, i was amazed.

who's down? i think we all want to look fab on trb x.

late~ years resolutions

im slow, we all knew that. i need to start working out for trb. i said
i would last year and never did. i have a wii fit that i need to get in
the habit of using again. i have a weight machine and treadmill
downstairs. it's nice today, i might throw some songs on the mp3 player
and run like i did last year. it ends up being a mile and im usually
weezing by the end of the block, but it feels so good sometimes,
hahahah.

what are you guys doing? exercise/diet wise. i need to get back onto
my vegetarian diet and plan out meals and snacks that will fill me up.
i keep getting off track. and more tea and water!!! this pop crap is
killing me.

TRB X

yep, we are booked. im so excited.

im also in grand rapids until....well the next hour or two. then
heading home to the east~ side.

this party store was having a blow out on their merchandise to get new
stuff in and i picked those napkins up and a bunch of pirate stuff for
our room, im so excited. you don't even know. YAY PIRATES OF THE
INSPIRATION.

crafty~

yep its time to become crafty AGAIN and set up my etsy. i mean it this
time. look at my cute v-day card. cupcakes and glitter.

what isn't there to love?? :)

nothing says....

...welcome home like a few more feet of snow!

eff this nonsense. i want to go back to paradise. i need warmth (even
if it was 50 and windy, a lot better then 8 and snowy). next year.

trb x marks the spot.

im addicted

to soft serve ice cream and 24 hour food. the end.
