Dustin Says

Next year for my birthday, I want the Best of Rod Stewart, Phil Collins, and Bryan Adams.

I was the most crotchety five year old you've ever met.

You're like the paparazzi! You always catch my cellulite at the beach.

I want to be like Scrooge McDuck; he's rich and doesn't wear pants.

Dustin singing a Beastie Boy song.
Me: How do you even know that?
Dustin: Because I was in 8th grade once.

I thought I was too evil to be in Hufflepuff.

day 117

 

 sunrise hair.

day 116

 

got hope?

yes indeed.

Currently

Loving: true blood! i've been blooding it up the past few days. almost done with season one!

Thinking about: everything. what am i not thinking about lately? but at this exact moment i'm thinking about how much i hate the new blogger format. people bitch about facebook all the time but this takes the cake.

Anticipating: time off. memorial day isn't so far away right? i need an extra long weekend.

Listening to: this was on hart of dixie last night and i immediately fell in love. i searched the internet high and low for the name of the song/artist before my brain decided to use soundhound. duh! now i'm also in love with the music video. and something about her reminds me of melody.

Eating: banana bread with butta!

Wishing: my ovaries and i got along. i was up all night in pain. i would've called into work today but we're already down one.

day 115

hey lady!

Found

Another cute 'boy or girl?' video.

Ace Enders talks about 'In Currents'. Cannot wait for this shit! I mean the last time they came out with a new CD Dustin and I were still doing the long distance thing. Yeah, that long ago.

Caine's Arcade.

I had to google 'Coachella' because I had no idea what it was and I am not ashamed to admit I thought it might have something to do with Coach purses. Looks like it's a hipsters only party that's why I really enjoyed this.

The oldest model. Beautiful and no work done.

This made me sob my eyes out. Some serious love.

day 114

dustin's last bday present finally came in the mail (a week later - from canada). dino magnets! rachelle saw them on etsy and sent me the link. i couldn't resist. check out their backside too.

day 113

 

and it was called 'yellow'.

officially a badger

FRIDAY: i came home for lunch to a homemade cheesesteak! dustin told me he was going to surprise me but i had no idea he was going to go all out. i ate the entire thing while we watched the new office episode. perfect lunch break!

i had dinner with erin at panera in winter park. i didn't realize it moved two years ago! i love the new-to-me location right in the middle of all the action on park ave. erin and i ate a good meal and had a nice 3 hour long heart to heart about everything in our lives. once i got home i was able to catch the last period of the pens vs. flyers playoff game. pens pulled it out again! my man fleury was seriously on fire. sizzle. sizzle! so now the series is 3-2 flyers.


SATURDAY: finally got back into the yoga swing after missing the last two saturday classes. erin pointed out that buddy dyer was in front of us. she notices local celebs every time i'm with her lately. the class was hard! i was totally exhausted afterwards.

once i got back, dustin and i went out to do some grocery shopping and get my hair cut. and by cut i mean TRIMMED. i really would have liked to tell the girl to cut some new cute style but i was strong and asked for half an inch off the entire thing. no bangs. no layers. no fun. she did commend me on trimming it every few months. she said it grows better that way. apparently if you just keep growing and growing it the split ends just grow out and not down. plus it looks shitty. split ends are gross.

the rest of the day was spent on pottermore. it's finally open to the public! it's so much more than i thought it would be. you travel through each chapter of the book and there are little refreshers about what happened, info about the characters, etc. also, J.K. Rowling writes even more info about how she came up with certain names and character back stories. for example, i really enjoyed reading about professor mcgonagall's childhood history and family life. BUT it's also interactive. i got to buy all of my school supplies and ollivander helped me find a wand. i even got sorted - into hufflepuff! i was kind of shocked by this but whatever i'm embracing it. go badgers! i learned a potion for boils and i've won 22 points for my house so far.

the rest of the evening was spent catching up on parks & rec and revenge. oh and i started watching true blood. obviously i've heard from everyone it's a good show but i was never interested. just didn't care. but now that we have HBO (because dustin and i are obsessed with game of thrones!) i can watch any HBO show for free. so i figured why the hell not? i'm two episodes into the first season so far and it's pretty good. i'm not crazy obsessed yet but maybe that will come in time. or not. whatever. so far i'm entertained so that's a start. i also started watching the new show GIRLS on HBO. loving it's humor.

SUNDAY: it isn't even noon yet and i've already baked homemade from scratch banana bread and watched the proposal (starring ryan reynolds and sandra bullock). pens game six comes on soon and i'll be sitting on the couch having a goddam heart attack the entire time. fingers crossed! eeee!

day 112

CPY has the cutest furniture.

day 111

met erin at panera for a lovely dinner.
we ended up talking for 3 hours and it wouldn't be a girls night if i didn't braid her hair.
my fishtail skills are improving!

day 110

weirdest lunch i've had in awhile.
i didn't have time to take lunch wed. or thur. due to work being so crazy so i ended up with this.

day 109

a thank you.
and a goodbye.

day 108

a birthday treat.

thanks for being born

it's dustin's birthday!
we will be celebrating (again) his 27 years of awesome after we both enjoy a long day at work. jobs? who needs 'em?

happy birthday meatball/best friend/husband/boyfriend/partner in crime.
you're the best.

day 107

first time i've ever cut a pepper.
seriously.

day 106

the penguins played their third game of the stanley cup playoffs this afternoon against the fucking philly flyers. it was quite the blood bath. there were i don't know how many penalties on both sides. even more fights. letang! crosby! asham! and various other players were kicking ass (and getting ejected from the game)! but you know what they weren't doing - scoring goals! i had anxiety the whole damn game. like heart attack after heart attack kind of shit. i was jittery. i was nervous. i was freaking the fuck out. i mean it is game THREE! it's now or never boys. they were so disappointing to say the least. so what do you do when your hockey team gives you lemons? you make fresh squeezed lemonade.

letang is a fucking animal!

Dustin Says

Hi, I'm Cee Lo Green and I look like a milk dud with a wig on.

Our relationship is like an Aerosmith song - I don't want to miss a thing.

I think every squirrel has a little Evel Knievel in them.

Does everyone name their kid Jayden or Aiden or Caden?

Why are you policing the amount of ketchup people are using?

I have been into the dungeons of the internet.

A throwback from eight year old Dustin (while visiting Disney World) - That's Chip and Dip!
Melissa told us this little story during the car ride to Dixie Crossroads yesterday. I cracked up. I think it's even better than Chip & Dale.

dustin's dixie delight

i was not surprised at all when i asked dustin what he wanted to do this year for his birthday and he answered with "dixie crossroads". we've been there for his birthday before and we've always had a good time. he has a passionate relationship with their rock shrimp. so i invited all of his friends and family. everyone was able to make it minus his BBF (best bud forever). we all had to travel 45 min - 1 hour. it's on the coast and in my opinion is the only thing titusville has going for it.

once we sat down at our table, we were immediately greeted with three heaping baskets of corn fritters. these things never disappoint. they are so very delicious but somewhat dangerous.

matt's corn fritter rules
1. never inhale powder sugar on fritter. it will cause you to cough for a minute and look like a total idiot - like me, when i did it.
2. never exhale powder sugar on fritter. it will cause it to travel everywhere and probably onto the person closest to you.

dustin and matt always go into their own little rock shrimp zone. just eating, dipping, enjoying themselves. it was nice to see matt and rachelle in the flesh! i talk to rachelle daily but it's still nice to be able to spend time with them. i know dustin and matt had catching up and they really seemed to have a good time together. i don't think they ever NOT have a good time together. they even gave dustin two of his favorite things for his bday - diet mountain dew and reeses cups. dustin was very excited by this.

sam came even though she doesn't eat seafood. thankfully, they serve chicken too! yummo food and lots of laughs made for a nice little saturday lunch. it was especially hilarious when melissa opened up her sour cream and it squirted all over her face. i couldn't breathe from laughing so hard. we all sat around and watched the fish, turtles, and birds (one happened to shit right next to us - shameless) for awhile before we all parted ways.

on the ride back while driving through 'middle of nowhere florida' melissa freaks out saying she just saw a bison. a bison! dustin and i gave each another the same look of disbelief. so i turn the car around and we drive by again, very slowly, all of us looking out the window at what turns out to be a regular old cow. just a normal cow. um yeah. sam's following us back and just shakes her head at us. i'm right there with her.

i hope dustin had a nice birthday (even though his actual bithday isn't until tuesday). we've been celebrating all week. i even caved and let him open some presents early. his argument was "i was born 10 days late so really i should have presents starting on 4/7". this makes no sense to me but i thought it was pretty funny and creative. so glad he was born.
