Fruit and veggie animals

I saw these cute figurines today in ocean city, Maryland.



Eggplant whale!




Mushroom lion!




Cantaloupe turtle!

So cute, but not worth $17.

Apex bitches!

We went to jungle Jim's tonight and hit up the batting cages. We took a peek at the go karts and they were sloooowww. We went up the street to another place and their carts were much zippier.

I was very zippy and ruthless and passed nearly everyone in the time we were out. I had the last person in my sights and I think I would have passed them given a few more laps. That autocross class that the hubster took me to helped a lot. Hitting those apexes, braking into turns, and accelerating out. I would have made him very proud.

Outlet mania

We went to the outlets today and I cleaned up pretty well. I got a cute jacket for $12 at express and an outfit for the hubster. I also picked up a red button up at j crew. Not the best price, so it might go back when I get back to columbus. Though there is no sales tax in Delaware. I also got a cute skirt, shorts and a cute dress at American eagle. I'm pretty excited.

Random sticker sightings

Saw two relevant sticker sightings within 10 minutes of each other. First,



Ohio represent

Second,



My elementary school in warminster, pa. Totally random!

Club fail

These new golf clubs suck. Or maybe it's me. Need to go to the range some more. I went to golf with my cousin this morning and it was terrible. Ugh, so frustrating.

Wtf

What's with Ryan seacreast interviewing Michael phelps? Where is bob costas? Bryant gumbel? This opening ceremony is all kinds of messed up. Went downhill from the corgies. Maybe a little redemption withe music, but also no spice girls!

Best opening ceremonies ever

All because of this fat corgies!!

Dog picture of the day

They're here!

My parents flew into Columbus last night. Pretty uneventful evening. Came home, grilled steaks for dinner, by the time the dishes were in the dishwasher it was 9:30. Ended up showering, watching a tv show and crashing. I think my parents did the same even though my mom stayed she was tired at 9:30...it's only 6:30 PST. Maybe she's worried about being jet lagged.

Right > Left

Calf that is.  The boots I ordered from Nordstrom showed up today.  Of course, I dropped everything to try them on.  Guess what my left calf is not nearly as large as my right.  Had a tougher time zipping that sucker up.

I should have known that this was the case when I saw this picture of myself:

Look at that right calf.  Diesel!

Angelo's

Lobster ravioli with crab meat and lobster tail. Amazing!! I might be changing my mind about Italian food.

Breaking even

In the 8 years, I've been allowed to legally gamble this is the first time where I have broken even. Actually, I think I'm up $10!!! Last night I lost $68 playing craps at Revel which is a pretty nice casino. That's ok. I go into it with the mindset that I will lose my money and that's the price of a few hours (hopefully) of entertainment. Anyway, last night, we went to Tropicana and we played craps while some others played roulette. I was down for a bit and was a little sad, but ok. Then I started winning. In the end the girls wanted to go to 70's/80's themed club and I cashed out... With $189!!! Yay!!!

Not bad for a perpetual loser. It's not nearly as good as my friend Lindsay who got to play with another persons money and won $60 for rolling the dice.

I'll count this as a success. Now time to go play in two more games and hopefully win the tournament.

Success

Red finally made it to the kennel club Facebook page! She's a big ole blur in one of her pictures, but still cute.

My wallet hates me

Just bought an anthro dress for AC. Should come in today. Then did anniversary pre-sale at nordstroms. Bought some new golf clubs. Now I get an email from Tory birch for an extra 20% off sale items.

I do not need a new cosmetic bag.
I do not need a new purse.
I do not need a new wallet.
Must keep repeating.

Blargh

Who knew two beers and a burger could ruin my day?!?!

Mini win

Getting gas for $3.22/gallon when I have half a tank right before it goes up to $3.59/gallon.

Biggest mistake ever

Forgetting my sports bra and reffing for two hours in 90+ deg heat. It was fabulous...not.

Salt

I've been craving salty foods lately. Lots and lots of salty food. French fries, chips, fast food, yummmm. Right now I'm sitting at my desk at work eating blueberry Greek yogurt and all I want is to eat my sour cream and onion lays potato chips. I can't because I already my BBQ ones with my sandwich. These are for later since I won't be eating dinner until 9. I'm also struggling with eating at home tonight or picking something up. 9 is pretty late and even later if I decided to cook. Maybe ramen is a quick meal that is somewhat healthier than the fried chicken or skyline that I really really want. I should also take into consideration that I'll be eating out all this weekend while in Atlantic city!

Ugh. Why is eating such a chore?

Totally photogenic

Doggie day camp

I've taken Red to day camp 9 times so far. They like to post pictures of the dogs and post them on Facebook. I'm still waiting to see a picture of Red. I'm not sure why I'm so upset that they haven't snapped a picture of Red. Obviously there is a logical reason for it. The days they post pictures are days that Red is not there. Red is so photogenic. They are really missing out.

Getting my hair done!

I finally had enough with growing out my highlights. I tried to dye it myself and the color just faded after two weeks. I'm paying to have a professional cover the highlights today. I hope the color is more permanent. I'll be pissed if it fades as quickly as the store bought stuff. I'll have to ask before we start.

Update on my plants!

My potted plants are doing quite well. I'm very excited to see their progress.




Tomato



Spinach



Red leaf lettuce



Smaller basil



Leaf lettuce



Larger basil



Cilantro

So mad

Someone threw away my lunch today at work! Last weekend, we had lost power at work. We had a short one day week which a lot of people took off. The food in the fridge had obviously spoiled. I brought my lunch in this morning and when I went to get it out of the freezer, someone had cleaned it out. No warning whatsoever. I'm fuming. It was just fried rice, but after a week of eating out, I wanted a frozen meal!

Egg Roll's Vet Visit

I took Egg Roll to the vet on Monday when I had an unexpected day off work. Egg Roll does not like the vet. First off, she always pees when the vet comes in for the first time. Second, she always poops in the waiting room even though she poops before we leave. She also sheds like crazy because she is stressed out. Here are some pictures I've taken of Ms Egg Roll.




Crazy dog




Pee. Yes I took a picture of her pee in the chair.

Fore!

Man, it was ridiculously hot today. I went golfing with some coworkers in pickerington. This is real golf and not scramble like we usually play. I figure it's the only way to get better. I shot a 119. I don't think that is good, an average of 6.6 strokes per hole. I'm not too put off since it was my first time shooting a full 18.

I brought lots to drink,but not enough to snack on. That will be remedied tomorrow when I shoot another 18 in New Albany. Lots of snacks and lots of frozen water bottles.

I find myself not getting so frustrated now that I can hit semi-consistently. Still a love/hate relationship though.

What do Magic Mike and I have in common?

I saw Magic Mike on Sunday with a friend because 1) I was curious to see it and 2) to escape the heat and sit in some AC for 2+ hours. Channing Tatum is a very good looking man. It's almost like to cant look directly at him for too long. You must avert your eyes.

Anyway, by far, the best part of the movie is when Mike scolds the "Kid" for trying to peel off the protective plastic layer on his new truck. Take that hubster. I'm not the only one like that! Me and Mike are bffs in that respect.

I could have done without the nudity and the gyration.

So lame

So I finally bought a tumbler at old navy of all places. It was $3. I thought that was a decent price. Well I was wrong. The one I bought was broken, cracked at the bottom. Why a waste of $3. I'm more mad at myself that I didn't inspect it well enough. Greer
