trip to Santa Barbara

Here's so real cute videos of Clara playing with a Budda and doing "Crazy Feet".

She freakin rocks!

HALLOWEEN!!!!!

"No, I'm not from XMEN."
"No, I'm not a Power Ranger."
"No, I'm not Wonder Woman."

"No, I'm not wearing a wig."
"I'M SILK SPECTRE FROM WATCHMEN!"-----True story.


You can kindda see my blue contacts here. Those were a bit uncomfortable, but totally worth it.

Obviously, I had a lot of fun with this costume.

The cops LOVED Dales' War Machine costume. They pulled over to the side of the road just to get a look at it!

War Machine and Tyrone from Chappelle Show.

All the Ladies! (My Award-Winning Mrs. Santa Claus outfit, Silk Spectre, and Lyla from Jonah Hex)

Instead of Skydiving, I went ZIPLINING!!

First and foremost, I am sorry I haven't posted anything new in a long time. I go through phases, it's very normal. Second, I went ziplining last week and it was so much fun! My only gripes (is that a word?) is that I wish there more zips and I wish they were longer zips. Here are a few pics. This zip place is west of Austin and absolutely beautiful to be in and peaceful. I went with a group of girls from work who I was happy to see also enjoy themselves. I'm hoping to start doing more excited things like this in the future, I just need people to do it with me!







Here is a video my friend took of me zipping....sorry it's sideways but it's not that difficult to tilt your head to the side to watch it, so don't complain.

Skydiving

So, I'm going to go skydiving soon....probably real soon. Anyone want to come out here and do it with me?

Mom.....

I just received an email from the guy I ordered your birthday present from (back in April) saying he forgot to send it waaaaay back in the day.....so he sent you two!! Happy Belated birthday!

It was a sad day

I've somewhat enjoyed this birds nest that has mysteriously showed up on my porch. And I mean somewhat because where there's birds, there's birds**t. Sorry for such foul language but when the pile gets THAT big....it's S**T. I woke up this morning, opened up the blinds for Rusty to enjoy the day and noticed.....a dead baby bird. You can see it in the picture as the gray blob. Needless to say, I got teary eyed since I've let this family of birds occupy my porch and crap on my rug, I've grown to love them. Why? Because they choose ME! Anyway....it destroyed the beginning of my workday. And now I'm letting this sad news destroy the rest of YOUR day. Sorry.


Oh yeah, P.S.....when I noticed the bird's nest, I also noticed the Hornets Nest....needless to say, the hornets nest was gone in two days. I guess they get along huh?

Free stuff is so awesome!

So last week, Tascha and I went shopping at Victoria's Secret and right before I got into line to purchase an awesome new swimsuit top, Tascha takes me to the perfume section to show me the new, and slightly expensive Blackberry perfume. As we are standing there spraying ourselves, some creepy old dude, possibly in his mid-60's comes up to us and asks our opinion on which perfume to purchase his girlfriend. We explain to him that new one we were testing out was pretty good and he just continues to talk to us, which is when Natascha walks away because she feels uncomfortable. However, I stuck around alittle bit to help him out with his product purchases. He then states, "I'll take one for me and one for you!" as he points to me. Then, as I was smelling some massage lotion, he asks if it smelled good, to which I said it was pretty good, so he bought me that too!!!! I walked out of that store with $55 worth of stuff. Let me just add that it was probably the most awkward 10 minutes of my entire life because the guy was soooooo weird, but whatever. As I was walking out of the store/trying to escape the twilight zone, he started to follow me to the door and kept telling me how pretty I was. I just smiled and said thank you, then ran to another store leaving Natascha in Victorias Secret. Free stuff is so awesome!!!
