Wish Fufilled

Don't laugh. No, seriously don't.

I am super de-duper excited because I got tickets to see Bryan Adams live.

I LOVE HIM!

He is one of the people that I have ALWAYS wanted to see live...and now I am going and taking either my sister or Teresa, and I can't effing wait.

Yes, I know I'm a loser.

Pardon the interruption

I've been distracted lately...there are too many thing going on, too many things I need to worry and think about and I don't really want to talk about them. Odd, or at least for me it is. I'm sure at some point they will come pouring out of me overflowing onto the keys. But for the time being, I don't want to share.

I may take a blog break, I may not. We'll see how I feel tomorrow.

How to survive

Problem: The week from hell
Solution: Go out, for Mary's birthday, get drunk, dance my ass off and forget my woes with AMAZING friends.

Mission Accomplished!

Zombified it is

The votes are in and I must say Wonder Woman and the Bride of Frankenstein demolished the Mermaid option but as I said before my choice was already made...

I'm going as The Bride of Frankenstein...and I'm going to rock it hard.

It's Coming, It's Coming!!

As I think you are aware, I love Halloween. I tend to start planning my costumes way in advance, spare no expense and just go for it. Just like last year we will be partying it up at Zoey and Lissette's little haunted house. Last year was quite memorable and I was soooo happy with my Princess Leia costume that it will be pretty hard to top.

I started to think about what I wanted to be but couldn't come up with much and then my sister came up with a few options that she thought would work really well for me and my figure/looks. This year, just like most people money's tight, so I am making a serious effort to cut back. So I'm looking for a less expensive costume that I can be happy with.

I have already made my choice, but I am kind of curious to know which one you guys prefer. I'll give the voting a couple of days and then let you all know which one I chose:

The choices are:

Option 1 - Wonder Woman


Option 2 - Mermaid ( Not THE little mermaid, just a mermaid)


Option 3 - Bride of Frankenstein

Lets celebrate, blog style

Best blogoversary cupcake ever
(please feel free to send some)

My life was so different this time last year.

Its hard to fathom how much a life can change in a measly 365 days. Not only has it changed but I documented it every step of the way. When things were rough and I needed an outlet I blogged several times a day, when life got hectic I pulled back. But I was always honest. No matter how good or bad the stories I had to tell.

I find myself remembering where I was at emotionally when I started this. A big teary mess, doesn't even do it justice. I was struggling with my new relationship with the ex, in that fuzzy place where you break up but still love each other so you try your best to remain friends.

It didn't work for us. I found myself crying at the mere mention of him, and the first month of my blog every time I wrote about him it was through a fog of tears. It got better as those things often do, but not without leaving a permanent mark first. A very deep, dark scar that I still struggle with to this day.

Now, one year later my life is practically unrecognizable. I'm in the same job, live in the same apartment and on the surface you would think nothings changed. But I have changed. Made so many decisions for myself not for the people in my life. I remember my ex-husbands biggest complaint about me was that I was selfish. No one ever understood why it was he said that because, while I had selfish moments, its not really a part of my personality. This last year though, I learned to be selfish. And that is the best thing I did.

What I never could have guessed is how large a part of my life would be consumed by blogging. In honor of my first year I am going to share a piece of my inner workings with you. So with that in mind I want to show you my top 5 blog posts and my top 10 bloggers.

My Top 5 Blog Posts

Tidbits of Pure Awesomeness Volume 1 - Why? Well cause it started a tradition (one that I suck at, but still it was my first re-occurring topic)

My friend Claude - quite possibly the silliest post I have ever done, but it still makes me smile.

A History - I love rereading this post it give me the warm fuzzies and makes me realize how lucky I am to have such cool parents

And the Spiritualist Said What - Quite possibly the craziest thing I did all year

Letting it all go, finally - My reason for needing an outlet wasn't a reason anymore but at this point, I fell in love with ya'll

My Top 10 fave bloggers

Lilu @ LivitLuvit - Her Shiz my Boyfriend says series, may be my favorite thing ever

[F]oxymoron - You never know what to expect. One day its donuts the next its nipples.

Katelin @ gorgeous footsteps in the sand - I love her Hollywood posts and her obsession with all thinsg Twilight. Especially cause she's not even remotely ashamed about it. Thats my kind of girl.

Pacing the Panic Room - I absolutely love peeking in on his family via his amazing photos

My Fall TV Fantasy Team

I know nothing about fantasy teams, but I like the way it sounds so I'm using it.

I tend to fluctuate between wanting to watch TV and resenting it with every ounce of my being...this year we are on the upswing so I want to marry it and make tiny HD babies with it.

I have considered and re-considered which shows I am going to watch and after much back and forth have finally settled on a few gems (read: way too much TV for any normal person to watch)

Please note none of these shows with a few exceptions will be viewed when they air. DVR, what did I ever do before you came and remade my world into something magnificent?

Reliving it

On my 17th birthday with the high school bf

I had a really weird dream with my high school boyfriend 2 nights ago...something that I thought was very random and kind of disconcerting. I woke up feeling a bit off about the whole thing but spent the rest of the day trying to brush it off. Then someone mentioned that tomorrow marks the 8 year anniversary of 9/11. My high school boyfriend and I broke up 3 days before 9/11.

Isn't it odd that I would dream about him, vividly on the night marking the 8 year anniversary of our break up? I haven't seen him since that night. Not once. Is my subconscious mind trying to remind me about that horrible night?

My weekend in a nutshell

Friday

• Worked all day Friday, or until 4:30. Still felt like it was all day.

• Got a tattoo on Friday afternoon with Bear. Super secret mission accomplished.

• Got wasted and sang the shit out of some Journey on Friday night

Saturday

• Woke up SUPER hungover on Saturday

• Shopped until I wanted to puke on Saturday

The birthday girl, a tad on the cranky (and drunk) side

• Partied it up for Vicki's birthday on Saturday Night. Got wax ALL over my face...don't even ask.

SUNDAY

• Woke up SUPER hungover on Sunday

• Spent the entire day in bed recovering

Part of Your World from Jossie Posie on Vimeo.

• Went to Zoey and Lissette's for quite possibly the BEST night ever. PJ party + musicals + wine = AWESOME

MONDAY

• Woke up on Monday not even remotely hung over and listened to Breaking Dawn all day while visiting mom and pop.

SUMMARY

• All of this put together = the best long weekend ever

• My best friend commented that I drank way too much this weekend. Angie my darling, I concur!

So I need your help...

I have been talking circles around cutting my hair for months...I haven't touched it since I cut it back in November (when I cut bangs) and now almost a year later I realize that its kind oh blah. It has no style to speak of and thats just unacceptable.

The sexy legless pirate is not fond of my choices so I need a second (or 50th) opinion. I am planning on cutting and dying it so let me know your thoughts on both. Keep in mind that I prefer to keep it longish if possible.

So with that said here are the options...

Cut #1
Cut #2

Cut #3

(but not teased in the back)

Cute #4 & Dye #1

Brown on top, black on bottom

Dye #2

Black on bottom with white(blonde) chunks on top

Dye #3

Seriously red

Dye #4

Black with red chunks throughout

Thoughts??
