EEEEWWWWWWWW!

I honestly can't believe how skinny Ana Kournikova has gotten?! I used to think she had an amazing body. Why the hell does everything think skinny is so hot?!? Hollywood needs to start passing out In-N-Out burgers at movie premieres because it is getting out of control!

Shiny Disco Balls!

Friday was our company boat trip party with a 70's theme meaning disco clothes for everyone. We had a blast. We rented a duffy and sailed around the Newport Bay. Here are some of the highlights:



Gotta shot out to our hot disco gear!

To a Whole New Level

Eliza and I have taken 80's night at blue beet to a whole new level. It is beyond insane. Besides being one of the only few to ever dress up, we are now being recognized as the girls who dress up for 80's night at blue beet. It is hilarious. Here is us after dancing, sweating our asses off and having way too many drinks...


It has become our religion. We have to go every week and top the week before. Our outfits are getting more and more ridiculous. I think we might both need counseling soon. We have acquired quite an 80's night crew who also joins us every week. We are trying to get them as addicted. I hope its working.

Yesterday sucked. Just plain sucked. I have been having health problems for some time now. I had to go get blood tests yesterday morning. I actually passed out while giving blood. It was not a pretty site. I felt like shit afterwards too. I had to go home, eat and relax and go back in the afternoon, where I proceeded to give 10 more vials of blood. Ouch!! Then I had to go get a ultrasound where they found a cyst in my uterus. That sucked too. Now I am cranky and had to go back to work today because I have had way too many drunk hungover sick days and used them up. Not a good idea for those who went drinking and are hung over. Suck it up and go to work. Because one day when you are really sick, you are going to be forced to go to work. And that is not fun. At all.

I am getting my hair cut tonight. I am going to put some blond highlights in it. I will post pics and you have to let me know what you think. I am not sure if I should stick with the dark hair. We'll see.

Things are going great with the text message boy. He is wonderful. Can't wait to actually meet the guy soon.

My little sister is moving out for the first time too. She is stressed out about it. It is kinda cute how she calls and asks me advice. I feel really special when she does it. All tingly inside.

Tomorrow, our company is going on our annual boat trip. The theme is 70's. I will make sure to post pics. We get really drunk and have a great time in the Newport bay. Can't wait! And hopefully I won't have a hangover like PORTLAND.

Exciting Events of the Near Future

There are two things I get REALLY excited about after 4th of July. One is my birthday. My birthday month of August is fascinating. I can't wait. Then, right after the fabulousness of my birthday month, the beginning of football season rolls around. The anticipation is killing me! I can hear your excitment flowing from the computer.

Gotta Love Boys Town

I figured out where all the hot single men are in Southern California. They are gay and hanging out at The Abbey in West LA. We went there on Saturday night-four girls and one guy. Needless to say, there was an amazing amount of testosterone and there was not one single straight man in sight. They were all gay! And I am a gay magnet. I attracted more gay men than I normally do with straight men on a Saturday night. It was stunning. And sure made my self esteem soar through the roof, in a weird way. I knew the guys hitting on me were not available technically to me, but they sure made me feel like a million bucks.

After leaving The Abbey due to the scorching heat, we headed to East/West, another gay lounge in the area. Besides the fact this lounge had air conditioning, we had a blast. We grabbed a table and began chatting and hanging with the most amazing people. A drunk guy whom we will refer to as Jose was falling asleep while standing due to his extreme drunkenness. Rosie tapped him and got him to sit on the couch at our table so he didn't just fall over. His hands ended up roaming as he fondled her leg. She kept pushing him away but he seriously was out for the count. The DJ noticed the drunk guy molesting Rosie and sent the manager over to kick him out. After they were able to get Jose out of the lounge with his friends, the manager brought over a bottle of champagne for our table. They rarely get beautiful ladies in the lounge and he wanted to make sure we came back. We ended up staying until it closed and had a blast.

We then had to walk back to our car through Boys Town in LA, which was an entertaining scene in itself. Funniest quote of the day to end our Saturday night excursion. A drunk cross dresser was yelling at people and making the funniest comments to those who passed by, including Eliza...."Girl, look at you working it in your closed toe shoes."

His best line was yet to come....to the crazy group behind us he yelled....."Crackhead, party of four." Priceless.

Live Like You Are Dying

Our Tuesday night 80's nights have slowly become me and E's religion. We LOVE going. We actually begin thinking about it on Monday and everyone at work makes sure to wish us happy 80's dancing before we leave on Tuesday. The funny thing is, we were wondering why the heck they don't have an 80's night on a Friday or Saturday night in Orange County. We did not even think about it until yesterday, when we were so hungover/tired at work and cursing the life we chose to lead. Does anyone from the OC know of 80's night on Friday or Saturday night? Someone else told us there is 80's night in Laguna beach, but it is also Tuesday night. What gives?

For those of you inquiring about the post about my friends, I needed to thank those close to me for all they have done. I more often than not don't thank people enough. It is one of those things I have begun to make sure of. I appreciate those around me so much and they should know that. This comes as a result of a co-worker who lost her 23 year old son in a motorcycle accident. I am definitely not a fan of motorcycles, but it really got me thinking since the boy was only 23 years old! Geez. Never take life for granted.

I am really excited about this weekend. We are heading to LA to spend the day with a friend, and we are going to have a ladies night out at this hip gay bar off Sunset. I am stoked. I figure if you can't find a great straight guys, move to the gays!

Lean On Me, When You're Not Strong

Life continues on the path of wonderfulness. I think I am finally figuring shit out. I have really discovered my true priorities since the big "breakup" and in the last four months have begun to move in a positive dirction. Some may disagree by my moving in a positive direction, but it is working for me. I am really happy. I am finally enjoying life and being on my own. (I actually crave and highly enjoy my alone time.) I have figured out how to handle certain situations like an adult and have felt great about walking away from others knowing I did what was best for me at the time. I am proud of myself. With that comes the loss of some people and the gain of others. I have met so many amazing people in the last four months. I looked back last night and realized I am surrounded by some really amazing people. I can't thank the ones that have stood by my side enough. I thank those who have been there through it all....See the following important ones.....(not leaving out the rest, just mentioning a few)

The sister, my rock through it all

Shannon, my heterosexual life mate

Eliza, my OC rock

Los, the best guy friend

Vicker Chicker, my support system

Sara, the friend staple for years

Erin, my party girl in crime

The Whittier crew

Kurt, new friend who never fails to make me laugh'

Kt, the one I want to be more like

Rosie, Miranda in disguise


You guys are amazing. Thanks for always being there. I am truly blessed!

Getting Ready For Some Fun in the Sun

Things have been going well lately. Work is "working" itself out. My co-workers might stage a slight intervention soon with my boss to discuss changing some things. We'll see how that goes. I called Hottie X (see Scenario 2) and we are great. We had an amazing convo with plenty of laughter. What a cutie and fun guy he seems to be!! I am currently on South Beach with my coworker E and we are really enjoying ourselves on it. Funny how I am actually enjoying myself on a "lifestyle" (not a diet, it's a lifestyle in the words of E). I feel so much lighter already. I worked out yesterday and am heading to the gym again tonight.

Last night was one of the most hilarious scenarios outside a bar I have witnessed in a long time. A, E and I headed to the local Irish pub known as Malarkys to drink and unwind after a long week. We ended up having a blast. We played a drinking game called truth, and this one ended a lot better than my last drinking game. I was slight buzzed off one vodka and water since I have been eating lighter and working out a lot more. Thank God for losing weight. It saves the pocketbook. Outside the bar, the Irish guys who were thrown out because they were too drunk (haha have you ever heard of Irish men being too drunk?!! Hilarious) were laughing and singing and having a grand ol time. A few of their friends were still inside dancing and carrying on, so they devised a plan for Berry to pretend like he lost his shoe to get back inside. Amazingly enough, it worked. He then began partying and dancing top the music and seducively kissing towards the window. After the bar closed, we continued to sing and partying with the drunk Irish guys as they do in Ireland. They told us they always sing walking home from the bars there. I miss Ireland. I can't wait to go back one day. What fun and laid back people!! Can't wait to see what the rest of the week has in store.

Hey Lindsay, my makebelieve drug dealer called and wants his coke back.

Classic Quotes of the Day Care of One of My Fav Co-Workers

E was enjoying salmon at lunch today when the following took place:
N: Mmm, that looks good, salmon.
E: Yea, it’s ok. But I forgot my fake butter stuff that I love.
N: I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter?
E: No, something even more fake than that.
N: I can’t believe it’s not I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter

A conversation that took place after lunch.
Jen to E: What did you end up doing after work?
E to Jen: I went to my shrink last night and found out she was on vacation.
N: And you had some abdonment issues you wanted to work out…

Gosh I love my co-workers!

Good Times and Great Oldies!

The shit hit the fan last night. I tried to talk to Friend X from Scenario 1 and it blew up in my face. I guess we just don't get each other. Things were said they should not have ever been said, and parties took some low blows that should not have been taken. When a friend says that they have done more for me than anyone else in my life during a fight, I consider it a great friend exit line. I never have felt the need to throw things I have done for people in their faces. You do those things because you want to and you should never expect a reward. I am surrounded by the most wonderful friends and family that all do amazing things for me. Shot out to Michelle *I know you are reading this* who is the most amazing sister a girl could ask for. Even through our spats, we can always call each other and laugh, asking "What the hell we were even fighting over?" Hilarious.

Scenario 2 is getting resolved tonight. I am calling the boy. I like him. He makes me smile. And I have made drunken mistakes. He gets to make one too. And the fact that he took the initiative to apologize makes me respect him. Scenario 3 is fine. We are back to normal (well we actually were on Sunday. Boy do men bounce back after fights and just get over shit) and everything is great. He is a great friend. I feel lucky.

Last night we tore up the 80's dance floor at Blue Beet, which is slowing being a weekly tradition. There were two guys there in hot pink short and 80's tight tanks. They were hilarious to dance with. Can't wait for next week. Check out our hot 80's gear.

Friends vs. Alcohol....What gives??

Conflicts and arguments happen all the time in life, especially when alcohol is involved. Recently, there have been three major alcohol enhanced situations that spun out of control in my life. Take the following three scenarios:

Scenario 1: I am out partying with all my best friends for Fourth of July weekend at Yard House, then off to the bars in Newport Beach. We were having a great time enjoying ourselves and just feeling free for fourth of July weekend. At the third bar, we decide to play "never have I ever." For all of you that never went to college or did not ever learn many drinking games, someone says never have I ever.......*insert crazy or embarrassing situation*. Everyone who has done crazy or embarrassing situation has to drink. Most of the players have been friends for five years or more, meaning we have more dirt on each other than anything else. My friends were ripping into me about past boyfriend mistakes, while I ripped into them about past embarrassing situations. Everyone seemed to be having a great sense of humor about everything. I say a never have I ever embarrassing situation for my friend X, where she then angrily throws a beer and her and her boyfriend storm out. Most would say overreaction. I decide to let them go home and cool off. I end up going home early the next morning and friend X and boyfriend have packed their stuff and driven back to Vegas before the 4th festivities even started. Besides friend X knows my favorite holiday is July 4th, I have also opened my new apartment to them for the weekend and tried to make friend X have a great birthday. I felt like I was slapped in the face over a drunken game.

Scenario 2: I met a guy and began text messaging/talking with him since he lives across the US. We have begun enjoying each other's conversations and I began developing a giant crush on Hottie X. On Saturday night, I am out at a dinner party with great friends and Hottie X is out on the town with his guy friends. A few text messages are exchanged and the conversation begins to become unclear and confusing. I send a text asking if Hottie X is drunk because he is not making any sense. After another confusing text message, I decide to call Hottie X and try to figure things out. Bad idea. Hottie X is leaving a bar drunk with friends, and begins to sound slightly rude. I tell him to just have a fun night with the guys and call me tomorrow. He then sends me a message saying "now you know what's wrong with me, I am a drunk. I guess it's my loss." What!? I respond with a your loss and move on with my evening. Yesterday, I got an apology.

Scenario 3: Same Saturday night, me and my best guy friend, Friend L, head over to party on a yacht in Newport. With one too many drinks in me, Friend L precedes to ask my option on men. Slowly, a debate on what I look for in men turns into a full blown fight, with me going to bed pissed off and him having to take a walk to cool down.

Now, with these three scenarios, alcohol all played a roll. I know I had just as much a part in these situations as the other parties involved, but the question becomes, "When alcohol is involved, how far should you go to forgive those involved?" "Should you disregard a fight if alcohol played even a small role?" "What gives with fighting and alcohol?"

Fun Times with Great Friends

Life has been crazy in the great OC. Besides exceptionally beautiful weather, the ocean has been so warm that Eliza and I actually went swimming this weekend. Soooo nice. We duck dived waves for three hours on Saturday. I got burnt on my back unfortunately. What a blast though!!!

My best friend Carlos came to visit from Vegas this weekend. It was nice to see him and spent time with him. We went out with all my close friends on Friday night to Newport Beach Brewing Company aka Brew Co. I ran into the old guy Mike there too. He randomly took me and my drunk friends to this hole in the wall bar called Goat Hill. I have never in my life seen someone more out of their element. He was dressed nice and sober, and he was thrown into a bar which has peanut shells all over the floor and sells cheap pitchers to drunk 25 year olds. Needless to say, he didn't last long. Carlos and I still laugh at the look on his face as he stood there surveying what he got himself into.



Our awesome new intern from Texas accompanied us to Goat Hill. We had a blast. Adam is the cutest.



We had a blast and partied the night away. Saturday we headed to the beach. As I stated, the beach was amazing!! We might even go tonight just to enjoy it. That night, we went out to Chuck Norris' Woodys Wharf on the peninsula. Since it was entirely too crowded, we decided to hit up the party boat off the dock in Newport. It was fun, but Carlos and I got in a drunken debate that turned into a full blown fight, and we headed home shortly after. Not good. More to come on that topic.

Sunday I threw a huge bar-b-que at my complex overlooking the back bay. We had a blast, played volleyball and just downright enjoyed ourselves. We even got in a game of flip cup. My best friend's boyfriend came over and in honor of Shannon not being able to join us, a drunken photo of Lewis and I missing her desperately!!



A special thanks to LIZZLE for the much needed blog push. I was so burnt out and it was something I kept pushing to the back burner. It makes me happy to know people enjoy reading what I have to write and I have decided to be even more honest to allow you guys to get to know me even more.
