Life's a Beach

A MUCH needed vacation...

I had a blast the last week of august. I went and stayed with my extended fam in Oceanside, CA. We beached all day and played cards all night. That's how we roll. After they all left I headed up to Newport Beach (my favorite place) to hang out a bit. I'm sad to say that I forgot to go and get a frozen banana. You can't go to Newport Beach and NOT get a frozen banana...look how scrumtrulescent this looks!


(Banana frozen on a stick, dipped in chocolate, and rolled in nuts. It's to die for)

Next on the itinerary...

I went to dinner with one of my friends, but i had just come from the beach so i had to change clothes and freshen up in the restaurant's bathroom. I felt like a hobo as everyone was staring at me trying to get ready in a public bathroom (makeup and all) in 15 minutes. Although I wasn't the center of attention when 3 other girls crammed into one stall and all you could hear duct tape and giggling. All I know is that one of those girls is not going to have fun ripping that tape off. "Hey chica...ever heard of one of these?"

After dinner we sneaked into a hoity-toity resort, "The Montage Resort and Hotel." It was gorgeous! And so much fun to just relax in the lapse of luxury...complete with making fun of the rich people. The men would try to make themselves look like they were the cat's meow and the gold diggers would lap up the $300 meal they were eating. Sounds like fun. One guy actually used the pickup line, "Wow, I think we had the same divorce lawyer!" The sad thing...it worked. What is wrong with rich people?



All in all...I had a great vacation. My last hoorah at the beach for the year. Sad day :'(

What?

So a little update on my injury status...

BAD NEWS: I have conductive hearing loss in my left ear now due to the head trauma. It is extremely annoying that I have to constantly ask people to repeat themselves. Note to everyone: speak clearly, or you will have to repeat yourself. AND I'm pretty sure I broke my pinky finger when I fell on it. It kills...more than a sprain kills. Why am I the accident-prone one in my family?

GOOD NEWS: Possibly correctable, so I hope I will get rid of this constant ringing in my ear and restore my hearing.

Runnin' Into First And I Feel Something Burst

This week during my intramural softball game, I was sprinting to first base and just before I touch base...WHAM!!! This kid on the other team throws a fastball and hits me in the back of my head right behind my ear. I don't know who was more retarded, the guy who threw the ball or the one who could not catch it. They both suck.
The next thing I know my head is spinning out of control and I fall flat on the ground unable to catch myself. (oh except later I realized that I caught myself with my pinky because it swelled up to the size of a fat man's hand and half my hand turned black and blue)







I was lying on the ground for about 5 minutes till I could get up and move to the sideline. The next thing I know the EMT comes complete with their big red truck and flashing lights to come check up on me. Why is it that there is ALWAYS one HOT guy on every paramedic/ambulence/EMT team? The guy asking me questions was ridiculously good-looking... definitely the highlight of the whole situation if there had to be a highlight (although I would rather not have been beaned in the head at all).

Now I can't hear out of my left ear, it constantly rings, and I'm still dizzy three days later. I hope it gets back to normal soon, cuz its really annoying to have to say "What?" all the time.

I do have the greatest friends though. Thanks a lot! I really appreciate all your help!

New Boy in Town

November 25th!!!

This is a Due Date, not a Wedding Date and not MY Due Date (I hope I didn't get everyone's hopes up...i still have a little ways to go...like going on a date for starters or actually finding someone TO date)

My sister is having another baby boy! I am so excited. My other little nephew, Brett, is the cutest kid in the world and so much fun to be around (And I really mean it. He IS the cutest kid in the world. Not just because he is MY nephew, but because he really is cute. I mean, look at this mug)


I can't wait to have another little nephew running around, having fun with, spoiling, etc. And I will soon be TWO kids' favorite aunt. :) Now I need to find a hubby so my sister's kids can have cousins to play with.

Legalized Fireworks Just Got A Little More Fun

Jumping through fireworks isn't exactly the safest thing to do, but its so much fun and looks ridiculously awesome.




Hot air balloon fest.





Watching the hot air balloons was really neat. It would be fun to ride in one, but I am way too afraid of heights to actually do it. Although I really want to go skydiving soon. Hmmmm.... anyone want to go with me?

What fun and/or crazy things did you do for the 4th of July?

Happy 4th of July!

The fourth of July has got to be one of the best holidays ever! It's so much fun to relax, BBQ, and watch the fireworks. I love it! Hope you all have a wonderful 4th!

Thank you to all our forefathers who sacrificed so much for us to be able to celebrate this holiday. Thank you to all the soldiers who continue to fight for our freedom today. I have the highest respect for our military men and women who sacrifice their lives daily to keep us free and protect the rights of the innocent. Thank you to their families, who support them in protecting America.

And then she was...

When my roommate first got home and saw the shopping cart in her room, she was LIVID and ready to kill me. When she saw the pictures of us on her bed from my blog, she acted like she was mad. Deep down you could tell she was turned on though ;)
