Just Do It

GOING NINETY MILES1 Comment

It’s that time again. Time for a mammogram. Yes, that funness of having your boobs placed and squeezed and x-rayed.

But it is necessary! Muy necessario! And I proudly conducted it in all Spanish. Sweet. Two points. The nice lady x-ray specialist carefully arranged my breast to get maximum exposure, kind of like arranging a chicken in the oven (I think I might be hungry). And then the machine came down… to press it tightly. I always hear horror stories of how painful this is, but I have never had a bad experience, my whole two times of getting a mammogram.

I don’t have huge triple D breasts but I am also not the president of the itty-bitty-titty committee either. I do wish I had bigger boobs, I can’t deny. But I am proud to have my originals and constantly shocked to see the number of females I went to high school with that have had boob jobs. And I honestly don’t think they look better. Sorry. Now, I have two friends that had boob reductions, and those, I applaud. Why live your life with huge ones that hurt your back, you can’t go for a run without a few black eyes….

But in the end, if it makes you feel better, then do it. But don’t forget your annual mammogram along with it. Til next year!

Domestic Goddess

GOING NINETY MILES3 Comments

Yup, that’s me.  Domestic Goddess. My house is always sparkly clean and smelling of roses. Okay, maybe not. But every once in awhile, I do love to get down and dirty with a good house scrubbing. And my latest purchase makes it even more fun.

Introducing my Hoover FreeJet. It ROCKS man. It is cordless (it recharges on a stand) so no messing with plugging in, unplugging, moving the cord out of the way. And there’s a dustbuster that is attached for use. The Hoover FreeJet lasts to vacuum my house in one go! Plus, it is super light.

Mine is in Oklahoma State Cowboy Orange, so it is even better. Off to vacuum!

Doc Martens ROCK

 HAPPY 50th DR. MARTENS!!!

Do you have Doc Martens? I got my pair of black DM when I was a freshmen in college, that would be 1989. I wore those shoes religiously; to class, to church, out at Eskimo Joe’s with a short miniskirt, waitressing at Mexico Joe’s with cut-off jean shorts, always with jeans. Obviously, my main fashion staple.

While I no longer wear them as often as I did then, I still wear them. And still LOVE them.

Blavod Black Vodka

.

Just five little things rotating in my head today: 

1. I gave up Coke for Lent. I REALLY want one. When is Easter again? 

2. I went out with the youngins in Campos last night. Did you know there is black vodka and caramel vodka? Black vodka mixed with Sprite and a caramel vodka shot, both surprisingly delicious. 

3. This U.S. job search from Mallorca is turning into total bullshit. Just sayin. 

4. I have decided to stop smiling and laughing. They just cause way too many lines in the face. Smiling and laughing are completely overrated anyways. 

5. Are seven cats at one time too many to move to the USA?

Quirky · Things and Stuff

Sometimes the random is the highlight of the day.

Look! No pictures, no video, no “go/do/eat Mallorca” post.

Sometimes I wonder if my blog is too much silliness. Too many video clips. Too much of randomness.

I read blogs that have so much meaning with each one, some where they have lost someone precious in their life, some where they are struggling in this world to make ends meet, some where their children are so amazing and their life is so interesting that I want to always check in. And me? I write about whatever comes to mind for the day. I am not struggling to make ends meet, I have not lost someone so precious that I need to write about, so am I boring? Because if I AM please, do me a favor and tell me to shut up.

What do you need? What do you want? More seriousness? More focus on my internal strife…. cuz I can belt it out but I would think that could get uninspirational (which I don’t think is even a real word). But you catch my drift.

But I do enjoy my blog. My randomness. One day I will have the children I long for to write meaningful stories about. One day I will lose someone who is so close to me it breaks my heart (and I pray for that day to be a long time away). But until then, you just might have to deal with the quirkiness and take the time to look at my blog for a mental break from life.

For now, I can be here for you for that break. And even after when life gets too serious.
