Richy Rich

I like to people watch. I like to think about what it would be like to have 5 million dollars. I like to take pictures. Put all that together and you get: a fun time spent on Rodeo Drive, boyfriend driving me taking pictures of all the places I'd love to shop at. Why not.

The arm of my chauffeur :) Dear all you people in the LV store at the register-must be nice.

Dior, and just one of the "Miu's" in Miu Miu ha.

The Chanel display in the window was beaaaaaaaautiful.

Stuart Weitzman, palm tree leaves, I love this picture.

My little alien finger, in case you forgot where we were.

Whoever lives here, I like your house :)

Juicy, I'll take one of everything in the store thanks.

Cartier, the store full of magic and sparkles aka diamonds.

I like this picture alot too. Chanel, Cartier, trash can.

Valentino had the neatest store sign, you could barely see it, the letters are so light and blend in. No people in this shot either!

Love this picture too, I think I just like when palm trees are in the picture, pretty. D&G, totally caught those guys in mid step, ha!

The sun was lighting up the LV store it looked cool.

It was 80 degrees out and sunny, then out of nowhere came rain, for like 20 seconds. And then I noticed we were in front of the Tiffany store. I think it was a sign. Can you tell those are raindrops on the window?

And that was it :)

Complaint Department

This post is going to feature me, whining. And that's it. Go on and feel free to click that little "x" right now. But if you want to stay, well I think I have a pretty legit reason to complain!

I'm currently in Undergraduate school. I transferred from a Junior College/Community college. No one used laptops in class. No one. It was all about pens, pencils and paper. Now here I am in class at a University, and everyone has a laptop. Everyone and their mother! (and by everyone I mean about at least/more than a quarter of the class :) First day of class, all I could do was scan the room looking at all of the little sorority girls with their adorable little $2000 computers. The notebook laptops smaller than my face, thinner than a piece of paper. The beloved Mac's with the all pink keyboard, how freaking cute. A girl sitting in front of me, with her Mac Book Pro, I literally had to remind myself to stop staring at her stupid screen. It was hard, but not that hard, took me about all of one day to get rid of the computer jealousy. Had to remind myself that the black ASUS I have at home works just fine and was probably $1500 cheaper than what they had. Jealousy pretty much gone, now theres something else...

Its called being irritated with what they are doing on their computers in class.

You brought that laptop to type your notes in right?

Oh ok then WHY ARE YOU ON FACEBOOK!!?

(complaining is really kicking in)

It is so distracting.

Your sitting in front of me.

Your stupid computer screen is in my direct line of vision, I kind of have to look at or past it to view the teacher/powerpoint.

Is this really the time to look at your party pictures from last night?

I guess so.

You and your friends are so cool holding a Bud Light and red plastic cups.

So cool.

How cool? Your not even 21 cool.

And now your online shopping.

Ebay.

Really?

Class is almost over, and you've been on your computer, NOT taking notes, the entire time.

Why did you even come to this geography class?

One of my professors has a rule I like, if your using a laptop you have to sit in the first 5 rows. Fair enough.

Last night was the worst. My middle name is Rosie, first name is Nosy. I cant help it.

So, this girl in front of me, has her facebook messaging thing open for the whole world (me) to see. I can clearly view her conversations. The names of who shes talking to and everything. I had no choice but to read it :)

Hers what one of her convo's looked like. With a guy.
"Well if you go you better call me!"

"Ok but I don't even have your number!"
"934729374239"

"Alright girl, Ill definitely call you we should go out/hang out sometime."

Here's her other conversation:

"I'm sick of you acting like I'm the immature one. And I'm not stupid I know there are guys there when you go out."
"What!? OMG. When I go out its only with my girls, and if theres any guys there I don't know them they just happen to be there too! its not like I meet up with them!"

Reallyy. Yea I'm sure you don't know any guys.

Riiiiight.

Especially the one you just gave your phone number to.

I assumed the second conversation was with her boyfriend type guy? And the first, a guy she recently met?

You see, I know too much.

Information I don't want or need to know, yet I do, because I cant help but look at the laptop in front of me, next to me.

I always thought I was all for computers in class, if that's your thing go for it. You type faster than you write, whatever. Just because I don't mind writing on paper with pen. But lately, I've come to thinking that no, I'm no longer for computers in class. Not at all. Their distracting, and the majority aren't even used for note taking, because obviously Facebook pictures are more important. What do you think? Maybe I'm being harsh, because I know if I brought mine to class I would totally be tempted to check up on blogs, shopping sites and all that. But if you don't bring it, there wont be any temptation right. And sure, I'll go on twitter during class, but thats on my iTouch, way less distracting/less visible.

I'm not sure if my nosiness is the problem, or the facebooking during lecture is the problem.

But I sure do feel better getting all those complaints out.

=)

Real Life Words

Its the day of my "transfer student orientation."

My lack of directional skills had led me to a place I thought I was supposed to be at. Thought. Unhappy I was in the wrong spot. Unhappy with the days very high temperature. I don't think I hid that unhappiness as I marched up a flight of stairs. Grumpy must have been written all over my face or something. I step up the last step and look around trying to find the place I'm supposed to be at right. Then I look at this guy, looking at me and he says, "you know what you look like you could use!?" My thoughts: huh what? I washed off my "I'm pissed" look, put on my friendly pants, and replied, "hmm, I don't know, what?" Thinking in my head please don't say hug please don't say hug. He shrieks, "Ice Cream! Theres some free ice cream right around that corner over there!" I say my thanks to the guy and walk away.

I really thought he was going to say hug.

You know, like, you look like you could use a hug.

Heard that a million times right.

But ice cream?

Never in my life would I have guessed that.

Never! I was kind of in shock, thinking wow did he really just say that?

He did.

He really just said that.

Then, the whys came. Why would he say that.

Can someone please tell me how one begins to look like they are in need of ice cream?

Did my "opposite of a runners body" give away the fact that ice cream is my favorite, the one thing I could eat all the time.

What if I was lactose intolerant?

That mans recommendation of ice cream truly had me baffled.

I just didn't get what would make him say that!

So weird, I had to share.

Back

1000+ in my Google Reader is totally freaking me out. How will I ever catch up? Good, bad, glad and sad, I've pretty much missed everything that's been going on in the blogging world. Oh and I have no background on my page? I guess that's what happens when I disappear for a good month or so huh. Ok, back to blogging, well I'm living in a new state now. The only LA I was ever used to was the one that is home of the Dodgers, but I have to say, I'm adjusting to living between Texas & Mississippi quite well. Except when I'm driving I'm looking around, pissed at all these people talking on their cell phones while driving. I forget, its only a law in CA!

I have so many things I want to post about and share but I'll have to write about them as they come to me because there are 70 year olds with better memory than me...


We picked up a pizza the other night at a place that had ESPN going on all 5 of their TV's. How funny am I? Pretty funny; I tell my boyfriend, "oh my god, Tom Brady died." The New England Patriots is not BF's ultimate favorite team, but he is a man that loves all football, doesn't discriminate. "What? How? How do you know?" "On the bottom of the screen I read it, crazy huh?" BF looks shocked and nods his head. Next thing I know hes busy on his phone.....Um woops...I say, "oh wow are you really looking it up? I was just kidding! Followed by my deep laughter. He gives me a big fat "wow really." "He really didn't die, but you know he could have, and we wouldn't have even known! I tell him, "see what happens when you don't have cable!" Like I said, I'm pretty funny. BF just shook his head and said "I don't know why I even believed you." (I do; my poker face is amazing, and like I said, if Tom Brady or make that anybody in the sports world died, we really might have been the last to know.) You really don't know what you have until its gone. I never thought I'd miss ESPN SportsCenter so much, but my routine of laying my head on BFs chest, and falling asleep to people talking about the day in golf or MLB, I miss my background noise. However, with Cable TV not being an option, I have made a new friend in Hulu and it has led me to discover something pretty amazing, Cheerleader Nation. Thanks Lifetime, its like Bring It On the movie but a reality show, kind of.

Ready for what I consider a very funny story? Possibly one of my favorites of the last 2 weeks.


BF couldn't resist the sign hanging on the gas station window advertising 99 cent Icee's, any size. So we made our Icee's and head to the register, I set mine on the counter, paused for a sec, and then start to wander down the aisles of chips and cookies. "You want anything else babe?" BF calls out. "Umm yeah can you get me the Glutes." Funniest moment ever. BF starts thinking in his head, super confused, he says outloud "the glutes?" The cash register man looks at BF and asks if the two Icee's will be it. BF gives me the death glare, then looks back at the guy and says yes please. I'm hysterically laughing as we get in the car; "The Glutes" is one of those "dirty" magazines, you know, the kind that come wrapped in plastic that they hold behind the counter?! So I happened to see it before I walked away from the register and very jokingly, I asked BF to get it for me, knowing he had no idea what it was. "I cant believe you made me say that! What if he would have really put that magazine on the counter!?" BF says and shakes his head. I was honest and told him, that would have made my joke even funnier!

Two For The Price Of One

Hiiiii.
I've gone through my closet and dresser. I have about 7 garbage bags full of clothes for my yard sale. My boyfriend was thrilled at the end result-you could actually see the back of the closet wall. Big deal, now I only have like 5 shirts and 1 pair of jeans to wear. I went through my underwear drawer too and ummm I kind of love buying cute new underwear so I got all excited about the thought of that, and hey maybe it might have been a bad idea to throw away so much thinking I'll be able to just go out and buy new replacements ASAP but whatever.

Who watched The Hills last night? I did, and all the while I pointed out to my boyfriend how extremely greatfull he should be that he met me when he did. I told him if we had been together way back when, he would have been forcedlucky enough to witness my addiction to Laguna Beach. Too bad he missed out we could have been watching mindless TV together! And what was up with the fake Hollywood set where did the realness go ha.

Today was not a good day for me guys. I hate cleaning, and one thing I hate more than cleaning, is needles/getting a shot. Which I did today. Oh wait, I mean shots. As in two. More than one. So yea I'm not a needle fan, first thing I do is warn the nurse that I don't handle shots well and then I half jokingly say I'll try not to cry too loud. Usually boyfriend is at work whenever I have appointments but lucky for me today he came with. Moral support. Nurse asked me which shot I wanted first. Oh goody I get to pick? BF sized up the needles, asked where they were going and he decided for me. He have me his hand so I could squeeze the life out of it. This kid in the picture is amzaing->>I cant even look in the direction of the nurse much less my arm or the actual needle. So my lips shake and my eyes water but I don't cry in the office, I wait till I'm in my car for my 2 year style old meltdown; "babeeee it huuuurrrrrrrrrtttt!!!!" He tells his two year old "she is so brave" and he is "so proud of her for being brave and getting two shots!" Such love. I thought I was going to throw up walking down the hallway of the Dr's office. It was just too much for me. Two shots?!! So on this not the greatest day ever, I treated myself to a hangout session with my couch, a big piece of Cookies & Cream dessert, a Cherry Pepsi and 3 episodes of Toddlers & Tiaras. Umm 2 shots I think that's the least I deserve hahaha.

Y'all know (BF thinks) ESPN is the only channel we get right? So of course we're watching the ESPYS and the host guy is semi funny, like I have laughed at two things he's said so far. But the skit that Steve Carroll from The Office did was hilarious. Y'all. I'm totally practicing my southern drawl. Totally. Not sure how well I can cover my like fast talking like California girl ways of talking though ha!




I have a few posts I'm gonna schedule to publish, one is below...But other than that I still wont be a regular blogger, so see ya when I see ya!

Catching A Baseball With Your Face

Statistics are an important part of baseball. Things like hits and pitches, stolen bases, how the runner got out, those are all things that are recorded by a statistician. When it comes to a players individual statistics or batting average, those things are very important to know and keep track of.

Keeping track of those things used to be my job; stat girl for the baseball team.

I used to keep track of which base each boy went to, who caught the ball that was hit, how many balls were thrown before the home run was hit. Allllllll that good stuff. But that's not really the good stuff, you wanna hear the good stuff?!!

Errr in this case, for this boy, bad stuff....
♥

I'm sitting there on the bench in the dugout, watching the boy from our team at bat, keeping track of how many pitches have been thrown to him. He had to have had only one or two already, and the next one is just so fast, I barely had time to look up! And I just saw something fly by, and then the boy, crouching over holding his face....

Oh my god his face is broken. That's all I could think, do you know how hard baseballs are? And how fast high school boys can through? Pretty freakin fast. How much pain was he in!? I was expecting lots of blood.

I'm sitting there, looking up, watching and waiting for the crowd of boys to separate in the dugout, then I finally see the boy, and he has, a baseball under his cheek. I mean, that's what it looks like. Like his face is that swollen, it looks as if someone shoved a baseball in his mouth up against his cheek. It was huge. Huge! Huuuuuuuge! I cant say that word enough to explain how huge and puffy swollen his cheek was.

And I saw it happen. Kind of. I didn't actually see the baseball hitting his cheek but still. Craaaaazy right. Poor guy! No Golden Glove. His cheek stayed purple after that, for a while, but not nearly as huge as it was that day in the dugout. I really cant explain what it looked like. Put your whole hand on one side of your face and imagine all that just being 5 times puffier. Imagine puffing up your cheeks but times 100.



Someone can say they've been hit in the face with a baseball before.

Guess What

July 6th=Cold, Me & Chestnut Uggs
Isn't that crazy.

It must have sprinkled Monday night, because the ground was wet when I woke up Tuesday morning.
I'm guessing some of you have been having some pretty warm weather?
To say the least, right.
How does that feel?
I would have no idea.
So please tell me, what does 90 degrees in July feel like?
Preferably with humidity.
So.
Have fun in your bathing suit.
Or tank tops.
Shorts.
I'll be in my hoody and Uggs.
I guess =/
Hopefully only for a minute though!

Its A Good Thing He Loves Her

You know when people roll their eyes.

It can be very disrespectful.

I have a problem with eye rolling.

The problem being, I cant control it.

Its natural to me. A very frequent occurrence.

I don't know when I'm doing it, which can be the worst.

Especially in certain types of conversations; my Mom would get pissed and I'd be so quick to say "I'm sorry I'm sorry I didn't even mean to!"

I do it with boyfriend all the time not knowingly too.

It doesn't mean anything to me really.

Well I guess it means something,

Its some kind of an expression.

I do when it things are funny, stupid, ridiculous. When I'm mad sad or happy.

Really, all the time basically.

BF will ask "why I rolled my eyes at him."

I just say sorry and giggle. Then he laughs.

I love rolling my eyes.

I cant help it.

And They Say

One of many things on my to do list is this task: Find yummy places to eat, maybe a place that has been feature on a show on The Food Network like Diners Drive-ins & Dives (why is that so hard to say) or Best Thing I Ever Ate. Me and BF are roadtrippen it through about 3/4 states so I'm hoping were bound to come across some place? Holler if you know any.

We had yummy kabobs on Friday night, and burgers and the rest of the kitchen on Sunday.

BF and I got stopped at a checkpoint on Saturday night. Well everyone got stopped you know not just us lol. And since we were obviously not drunk and BF's license is more than valid, they looked over us quickly and said goodnight. We couldn't go anywhere though because the police were still talking to the truck in front of us, so the kind police gave us an informational brochure to look at, to pass the time I guess. Brochures given to me usually go from my hand to trash can pretty quickly but this one was interesting, "$10,000 for a DUI." Umm wow what a way to spend your money =/

Have you ever seen these at the Grocery Store? Ice cream treats for dogs!? Well this little guy got to try them this weekend and he loooovedd them! I think these few pictures I snapped of him are so cute, his face was such a disaster, sticky yucky mess! But he was really beyond happy to have a treat like that =)

Some TV shows I started watching! Toddlers & Tiaras on TLC. I've only watched two full episodes but I think its a new favorite, the last episode with the blonde that did Michael Jackson, "Kylie"I think her name was, oh my gosh I wanted to squeeze the cute out of her, ha! And Holly's World, on E! I really had no desire to watch it but last week I caught two reruns in a row and that's pretty much all it takes for me to get hooked! I cant say that my boyfriend gets any enjoyment out of watching it but I am loving it, ha! A show that receives only a slight groan from him is Bravo's Bethenny Gets Married. There are few moments in the show that make him laugh too so its not complete torture for him to watch it with me.

Yea so pretty much all I did this weekend was cook and eat. I made Jello Jigglers again, this time star shape. BF loved them and I didn't eat any but had so much fun admiring their cuteness. Oh and twice as much fun making them-I was stirring the Jello before I poured it into the molds right and somehow a bunch splashed on my hand and burned the heck out of me. Ouch. Hot hot Jello is nooo fun.

Oh and I made a watermelon bombe. Using this recipe from a blog from my favorite collections.. Mine definitely didn't look anything like that picture :( haha but it was carrying some weight! I don't think I even used all the ice cream or who really knows what I did, because I don't follow recipes well. But what I do know is that it was heavy. 9 POUNDS heavy! I made everybody lift the bowl when it was setting out to thaw and then we weighed it on the scale and sure enough, almost 10 pounds of ice cream. Love it! But not really. I'd like it so much more if it was like Cookies&Cream or something, I'm not lime sherbet's biggest fan!

Have you had Dr Pepper Cherry? I'm a huge Dr. Pepper fan but believe it or not I hadn't event yet tried the cherry kind til last week. Verdict? Its alright. Not too crazy cherry-like you know? I'd prefer the regular kind though.

That's it for now, take care. I miss you!! I'll be away, packing and saying goodbye to the last 21 years of my life. Wish me luck with that.
