So.  What weekend, where? 

*blink blink* 

Weekend started out a bit um, rough.  “Stuff”.  As well as had beyond imaginable bad service at a restaurant Friday night.  Will not be going back there again.  For food.  It will be tempting to go back for their great drink prices though….

Kiddos were kidnapped by their aunt for part of the weekend.  Which freed up an evening to do adult activities.  Girls night out!  PC included, as he is an honorary girl after all.  He was on his bestest behavior (brownie points for him!).  I however, was not.  *evil grins* 

We went to our new favorite place that has a super fun rooftop patio.  The night is somewhat of a blur as the shots and beers continued through the night.  So much for telling PC I would be sticking to beer only, and definitely not more than one shot.  (says the girl who drank three plus shots….one of which contained a concoction of Crown, Peach Schnapps and Red Bull- all three of which are on my ‘no-way-no-thank-you-no-no-no’ list….)

I do remember my (SMOKING HOT) friend being hit on by some guy and me climbing into her lap seductively and informing him she was with me, followed by a fitful of giggles from her and I.  Once he realized we weren’t going to allow him to play with us, he left.  *snort*

Another interesting tidbit was an older gentleman who kept hitting on the three of us, while at the same time trying to hook one of us up with his sons.  Um…hmmm…..alrighty then, but no thanks.

So um PC….whatcha got going on down there?  Bwahahaha….. 

Super fun night.  Super late night….  Had to pick up the kiddos at what had seemed a reasonable time when I originally agreed, although came waaaaaaaaaaaay too early the next morning.  (doh)  Thank God for Starbucks!

*****

My sister and I have fabulous costumes planned for Halloween, doing the same theme as each other.  We’ve begun searching out the items we’ll need.  The most important and intricate part of the costume is being researched.  PC has already ordered his (custom ordered/made so no Cindy Brady this year, haha!).  It’s going to rock.  Can. not. wait!  *giddy*

I’m rather brain dead in a tequila fog sort of a way so that is about all I have.  Date night with Ashton (aka Yummy) so this will be posting early. 

Happy Monday!

The kiddos go back to school next week.  I had fabulous plans of spending a few more days soaking up some sun before the pool closed (sun goddess—>ME), had promised them a day at the water park in Six Flags, the splash pad at the park….  All of which were thrown out the window when LP continued to spike a fever between 100-103 (plus…), wavering between the appearance of death smeared on toast and being backed over (several times) by a Mack truck.  The poor thing had been sick since the previous week.  Just when I thought she was perking up, her fever would spike and she’d visibly go down hill again.  A trip to the Dr…..she has pneumonia.  Hell of a way to spend your last hoorah before going back to school.  The ladies in the Dr’s office were perplexed to see things like the stomach flu and pneumonia during the summer months (both of which my children have been plagued with this summer).  So while one child was incredibly sick.  The other grew incredibly bored bouncing off the walls with more and more ants in his pants (which I can’t blame him, I don’t do well day in and day out sitting at home, I am my ‘best’ on the go with little down time).

Fun times my friends…..not.

We also had a fun filled weekend with friends that we’ve had to cancel. 

*POUT*

(Side note- I did just find out our pool is ‘extending their weekend hours through Sept 30′…that’s exciting news!  *giddy* Hey!  It’s the little things!)

Also. Is it too late to start counting down to my birthday weekend?  Or um…Vegas?  Don’t be surprised if you see a counter go up in my side bar.  Soon. I am that excited!

*remember…..free spirit….hate to be cooped up*

Well.  Happy Friday!!!

So….here is where I try not to put you to sleep with boring vacation pictures. I try to make them a bit more exciting than being invited to your neighbors house to see their vacation pics. 

Friday-
Quicksilver picked me up from the airport and we headed to meet Roxy and BABD (big ass biker dude) for ‘lunch’ (it was like 3:00 lol) at their favorite Mexican restaurant.  *YUM*  After wards we sent the boys to do some food/liquor shopping (bc you can do that in Ca in the same store! *jealous*) and us girls headed to get our toes done.  Roxy has the best place EVER, I tell her I go out there to visit her, but really it’s her nail place (shhh…. ~wink~, I’m kidding of course.  Kind of).

Got back to the house to find the boys had decided to take an afternoon siesta.  Wakey wakey eggs and bacey, time to get your drink on!
(oh but notice not Sadie….from sun up to sun down she chases flies like it’s her job.  Silly girl)

Roxy double fisting it.

Boys.

The yummy couple.  Adorable, no?!

Let’s play girl toss!

Roxy and I

Molesting Roxy….wha?!  She had her boobs in my face, what’s a girl to do?! ~giggle~

Nice Quicksilver, flipping the bird

Their hot next door neighbor arrives and BABD can hardly contain himself with all those boobs in one place! (Umm…apparently me neither.  Doh!)

Oh look! BOOBS! *LICK*

Roxy is like- “Dude, get your tongue off my boobs already!”  *snort*
Yes.  If nothing else we are goofy.  We have picture upon picture of Hot Neighbor Girl with this ‘grin’ that screams ‘Okay then….’.  Haha!

Mmmm….Cranberry/Vodka with two olives. It’s quite possible Roxy only remembers from here on out bc pictures were taken. (Notice how much she seems to be enjoying her olive?!  hehe…)

Apparently I was quite the flasher that night (right, what else is new…).  I’m going to save you the 20 5 other pictures where I can’t seem to keep my pants on.  Or shirt.  *ahem*  Gotta love Quicksilver though.

Bubbles.  Lots.  And lots.  Of bubbles.  What isn’t exactly easy to see here is that Sadie (my German furry girlfriend, remember her?  The fly chaser?) was trying to drink out of our cups.  No no Sadie…no Vodka for you!

We realized at some point that we never ate dinner.  Doh.  Roxy was feeling less than stellar (huge understatement) and after tucking her into bed Quicksilver and I stuffed our faces ate.  I am positive that was my saving grace the next morning.  Oh.  And the bottle of water Quicksilver put me to bed with….after I passed out on the couch. (doh)

Saturday-
Poor poor Roxy…..  Vodka is her nemesis.  They have such a love/hate relationship.  Besides not being able to remember the entire night- what? you don’t remember when Quicksilver and I did that one thing to you!?  Or when you did that other thing I love so much?!  *wicked grins*  I guess you know it’s bad when even after viewing pictures from the night before your memory isn’t jogged even a tad *snort* She felt like CRAP the next morning, er um day. 

Pretty girl Caedyn.  Kiya’s twin sister.  It was this time last year that I brought teeny tiny baby girl Caedyn out to Roxy.  Ah…memories.

Convinced Roxy some sun and Strawberry margaritas might be just the ticket to ease her hang over.  Ok.  No Margs for her, but the rest of us indulged. Mmm….
Boys with toys…Peterbilt maragarita maker!  I’d expect nothing nothing less from Quicksilver and BABD.

Ice…

Tequila and fresh strawberries!

Um.  Right.  Hi.

Roxy’s Dispicable Me shadow.  Bwahaha…. 

Girlies in bubbles

Don’t act surprised I’m molesting her again.  She’s like “STOOOOOOP already”

I like your beard. (stealing lyrics from Kesha)

I like your bubbles (coin phrased by Roxy and I *giggle*)

Ooops.  We forgot to eat dinner again.  Strawberries and cream will have to do!

 *poof*

Sunday-

*groan*
I have blood sugar issues that I struggle with regularly and Vixen not eating= no bueno.  Drinking all weekend and also NOT eating= muy no bueno.  Yummy breakfast place helped slightly (as well as coooffffeeeee).  They even saved me from having to wear the completely embarassing “Its your first time here” hat.  *snort*  (thanks, love you guys)

Sad goodbyes at the airport. (sigh)
Very turbulent flight home (as in the plane kept suddenly *dropping* giving the sensation it was falling from the fucking sky and I had forced visions of being cast involuntarily for Lost part 2) .
Met by happy (albeit sick- LP STILL has the flu!  Blech) children and very horny husband.  Ha!

Home sweet home. (happy sigh)

Let’s see.  This weekend was a complete whirlwind.  PC and I unexpectedly had Friday evening to ourselves.  To which we decided to celebrate by staying up until 4:30 am.  Talking…  What?! We did.  ~wink~

*yawn* 

Spent Saturday soooooooooooooo tired.  But childless, so it was the perfect opportunity to veg and read.  Later that afternoon we enjoyed our awesome weather- that had cooled from the 98 degrees it was the day previously to mid 80′s with a nice breeze-  outside on a bar patio drinking beer. Where my light weight husband became quite buzzed off his half of a Blue Moon.  *snort*  Gotta love him, no? My sister texted me saying she wanted to out.  So, all impromptu like we agreed to meet her.  Her awesome hubby (who is not much of a party-ier) took all five kiddos to a movie in the park while PC, sis and I headed to a fabulous new bar she’d discovered a few months back.  Roof top patio with a downtown vibe, yet only 10min from sis house (who lives very not downtown).  Sah-weet!

Met an incredibly *HOT* girl.  We actually felt badly for her, she was with a large group of people who all obviously knew each other, and she- quite obviously- did not know them.  So we (as in I insisted PC go) invited her to join us.  Which she did and stayed with us the rest of the night.  Ironically we have the same first name.  And ironically we graduated from the same high school.  We did not, however, graduate in the same year….or actually really even the same decade.  *ahem*  She’s an exotic dancer and could be a dead ringer for Thirteen from House….with a splash of Amy Winehouse (the non druggy version).  Um yeah….she had it totally going on.  Fun times…

I did however, mix my alcohol (huge no-no in the Vixen handbook).  Beer, Patron and Vodka, with a splash of Cranberry……  Caused the need to nurse a hang over/fog most of Sunday (I’m never hung over- gah).

*****

The downside of the weekend though was my 19 year old cat passed away.  Shalimar lived a long, happy life.  I swear she used up at least 7 of them through out her years.  Being a Siamese, she was a one person cat, a fabulous cat.  She was my first baby, we were very attached.  We’d been through a lot together.  She began going downhill last weekend and I knew it was only a matter of time.  My heart is hurting.  *sigh*

Ok.  Well.  Enjoy your Monday.

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

(vi.sualize.us)

Yeah
I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
Cause after all the partyin’ and smashin’ and crashin’
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when you’re staring at that phone in your lap
And you hoping but them people never call you back
But that’s just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel
And they sayin’ what would you wish for
If you had one chance
So airplane airplane sorry I’m late
I’m on my way so don’t close that gate
If I don’t make that then I’ll switch my flight
And I’ll be right back at it by the end of the night

(vi.sualize.us)

Can we pretend that airplanes

Somebody take me back to the days
Before this was a job, before I got paid
Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank
Yeah back when I was tryin’ to get into the subway
And back when I was rappin’ for the hell of it
But now a days we rappin’ to stay relevant
I’m guessin that if we can make some wishes outta airplanes
Then maybe yo maybe I’ll go back to the days
Before the politics that we call the rap game
And back when ain’t nobody listened to my mix tape
And back before I tried to cover up my slang
But this is for the Cada, what’s up Bobby Ray
So can I get a wish to end the politics
And get back to the music that started this sh-t
So here I stand and then again I say
I’m hopin’ we can make some wishes outta airplanes

(vi.sualize.us)

From this wkend-

* Just because they are called boy shorts, doesn’t make them actual shorts. I don’t care how rockin your body is.  You can’t pair them with a tee shirt, throw on some flip flops and go to Target like that.  Just sayin…

* Two girls and a guy check into a hotel (one girl is not staying).  The nice desk clerk asks the one girl if she would like 2 queen beds or a king.  To which the one girl enthusiastically replies “Oh definitely the king”.  The desk clerk looks from one girl to the other, pauses and then asks if the girls would like 2 or 3 room keys.  The one girl looks quizzically at her, slightly confused.  Check in is finished and the 2 girls and one guy walk towards the elevator towards their room with one king size bed.  Where it’s brought to their attention by the other girl (me) how this is looking to the desk clerk.  Bwahahaha…..  Quite a giggle was gotten out of that.  *snort*

* My concoction of Stout beer and Vanilla Vodka is apparently much, much more potent after I’ve been drinking light beer before hand, rather than starting the night out with the Stout.  Um yeah….must. remember. this. in. the. future.  I am very rarely hung over but Sunday was a bit um, rough let’s say. (blech)

* PC taxied my ass.  Enabling me to have a much needed, super fun girls night out, you know to catch up on girly gossip.  The things he does for me….  *happy sigh*

* Transformers 3 is coming out next summer.  Megan Fox decided some time ago that she wouldn’t be participating in the next one.  *HUGE DISAPPOINTING SIGH* Sure Transformers is cool and all but honestly, I have enjoyed the last two bc A- the mom is fucking hysterical and B- Megan Fox is hotter than hell.  Ok, I mean like fine….so they bring in a new girl.  But what pisses me off is they are going to ‘pretend’ she’s Mikaela. Like we aren’t going to notice or compare her to Megan the entire fucking time?!  At least make her be like a NEW love interest! Annoying.

It’s that time of the week again….Monday.  Back to the grind. Oh wait.  It’s summer break….the grind is everyday, lol.  I guess it’s back to the pool then.  ~wink~

Back from sunny California….recuperating from the late nights, fun in the sun and alcohol consumption.  It is completely safe to say that we efficiently debaucherized (is that even a word??? Ok, well today it is, lol) the Os shirt.  *wicked grins*

Much more ‘proof’ to come (these are the G rated of the tame ones…..*ahem*).  I figure an entire post- when I’m feeling up to it- of the Os shirt tour via Roxy-ville.

In the meantime, TFT is UP.  Go on over and check it out. As I mentioned on Friday, while my plan was to put up a special post on July 4th…wordpress had a different sort of plan and wouldn’t allow that.  And the pool, friends and tequila kept me away from my laptop.  So sorry.  But it’s up now.

If you haven’t already or would like to again, I encourage you to contribute! (email me here) I’ll link you (or not!) however you would like, just let me know.

I read something recently that says you can predict how many partners (within one or two) someone has had by calculating this criteria (note: this was mainly geared towards females) :

3 points if your father was law enforcement or military.
1 point for every tattoo and piercing.
Add 5 if you were in a sorority/fraternity.
Add 10 points for every time you were in rehab.
If you don’t “groom your naughty bits” then subtract 3.
If you’ve been married subtract 6 points.
Subtract 2 points for every cat you have.
If you’re a smoker add 3.
If you listen to hard rock add 3.

Is this close or not even?

Me?  Um… It’s complicated.  I’m guessing this oh-so-scientific [insert sarcasm] calculation was geared towards heterosexual people.  Bc for me it gets somewhat complicated.  In our ever so evolving and changing society ‘alternate lifestyles’ are becoming….more acceptable.  So I have to say, the number calculated was NOWHERE close to my actual number….  Unless we narrow results to male partners only and then well, ok no….not then either.  But in a different direction.  *wink*

Can you seriously believe next week it will be July?!?!?!  Gah!!! It was barely spring/warm weather…it was June and then *POOF*  Sigh….  I can whole heartedly say though, that our summer weather has hit.  As in….it has been in the high 90′s this past week.  My sister and I were in Sun Goddess mode Monday and Tuesday, taking the six kiddos to the pool (hers and ours).  Thursday I took the kiddos to the zoo and it was 99degrees…..  Whoa.  See why the pool always seems so appealing to me?  Any days involving near triple digit temps should most definitely involve water as well.  Just sayin….

(oh and another reminder- looking for July 4th themed TFT pics!!!  Email me!)

Farm life….
We don’t have the ‘best’ relationship with our neighbors to the south of us.  They love to come and bitch about something we’ve done/they don’t like (a fence issue, dog issue, other animal issue….) and always when PC has conveniently just left.  Gotta love tactics like that.  So yes…things are relatively ‘strained’.  Well, so the other night when a different (nicer) neighbor stopped by at 10pm-ish to let us know one of our horses was down on the road (again- we do have a annoying slight problem of our miniature horses slipping through the fence often)…imagine my um, opposite of chagrin delight to find out it wasn’t one of our horses, but rather the not-so-nice-neighbors horse (donkey…same difference-kind-of-not-really-but-you-get-the-idea, lol).  *SMIRK*

*****

A week from today I’ll be in Roxy-ville (with PC in tow *grins*) getting my Roxy fix.  It’s been too long…..various trips that fell through in June prevented us from getting together like we usually do.  My happy meter tends to go down when we don’t get to see each other at least once a month somewhat regularly.

*****

So there you go.  Randomness.

Have a perfectly fabulous Friday!!!
