This Little Piggy

This actually happened: 

Me: Babe, how would you feel about us getting a teacup pig?
Him: I would totally get one - how much are they?
Me: I've seen some that are like $3000
Him: Too much, but the dogs would really love one.
Me: I know, it would be so cute!
Him: And, if it didn't work out-we could always make bacon. mmmmm bacon.
Me: ...............

Stay back ladies.  He's all mine.

Road Rage

It's no secret that I have a major case little bit of road rage.  The drivers in California might push me over the edge. Yesterday I was driving home from work and I almost got creamed by a girl when traffic was going about 5 mph. Yes, you read that right-5 MPH.  I was already pissed because I had left the office an hour late and this just made it one hundred times worse. Normally when traffic is stopped I browse facebook or twitter (I know, it's bad), but thank god I had put my phone down b/c I noticed traffic was moving a bit.  I was staring straight ahead and started moving forward and then all of a sudden I noticed the white car next to me was almost going to hit me. I'm pretty sure she didn't even look and just tried to get in my lane. I didn't even have time to honk the horn, I jerked the wheel to the right (thankfully no one was in the lane next to me) and she stopped. I'm thinking that her friend in the car was like hey, there is a car in the other lane dumbass.  I slam on my brakes after she BARELY missed my car and then she gets over in my lane behind me. I can see that she is a young blonde girl and she's waving saying sorry.  Like that will make what just happened all better sweetheart. My heart was pounding and I could feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins.  It was insane.  She definitely kept her distance after that and I switched lanes to get the hell away from her.  I don't understand why people from California think it's ok to drive like asshats and then just wave to make it seem ok.  IT'S NOT. 
I also believe that people here should be required to take a road test that only consists of one thing : a four way stop.  I don't feel like I'm the worlds most perfect drive, but damn, no one here knows when it's their turn to go.  They either don't stop or they sit there for 5 minutes looking at all of the cars wondering who's turn it is. Um, you got there first idiot. 
To top this post off I was driving in this morning trying to merge onto the freeway when the guy in front of me decides that he doesn't need to speed up in order to make sure that he blends into traffic. I think he was going oh, about 20mph. I was throwing up my hands and yelling in my car like a mad woman.  The BF is lucky b/c he doesn't have to drive on the freeway at all during his 10 minute commute. 
Maybe one day the lovely people of this state will get their fricken act together...One can only hope.

SoCal, Puppies and Party Rock

Wow! It's been a minute since I've posted anything.  So many things to talk about, so little time.  This will be random and a mess, but I wanted to get some things out. 

We've lived in SoCal for a year now and still love it. So many fun things to do and we're finally meeting people so it makes it better. The BF's still has the same job and he hates it, but it's a J.O.B. and we can't complain.  



Beautiful







Our super small apt is still home, but we're hoping to change that since we now have 2 PUPPIES. Yes, I capitalized that b/c it's a big deal. 

Everyone meet Gracie and Stella:





Gracie is an 8 month old dachshund/lab mix (white) and Stella is a 4 month old terrier mix (dark). We're thinking she could possibly be part shepard or Austrailian Cattle Dog as well. So, from now on I will be considered a mommy blogger. ha! We rescued both of them from a great organization called Second Chance Dog Rescue.  I've actually been volunteering at their adoption events recently and it's a great group of people.  We've had Gracie since March and Stella since the end of May. They love each other so much and I'm so happy we decided to get 2 even though people thought we were crazy. 

Just got back from a great trip back to the Chi.  We had AMAZING weather and lots of fun with our friends.  I couldn't have asked for a better trip. The theme song was Party Rock (now the title makes sense) b/c we listened to it oh, about 100 times during the trip.  We went to the Taste b/c BF had never been (how can you never go to the Taste when we've lived there FOREVER).  We had a great party for a friend who turned the dirty 30.  I'm pretty sure that my liver was like umm..hey-STOP IT b/c I don't think there was a day with out drinking. I hate saying goodbye to everyone b/c we have such great times, but it just makes me appreciate them so much more. 

It was tough leaving the pups for 10 days, but the people who were fostering Gracie before we adopted her offered to watch them whenever we go out of town and so we took them up on it.  Best thing is-they do it for free. Obviously we gave them some cold hard cash, but it was no where near what it would've cost us to board them both for 10 days!

I suck..at blogging...

Well, my 30 days of truth still hasn't started. I suck at this! I have been reading blogs, but not commenting. I'm going to cheat and do a couple at a time-because I can.Work has been really busy these past few weeks and I've been lazy. I still want to blog about our trip out here to Cali, but I feel like it's been so long (4 months) and I don't remember ALL the details now. FAIL. 
I will have a lot of free time in the next week. 3 day work week next week! WOO HOO! L has to work the day after Thanksgiving and that whole weekend. BOOOOOO! We are making Thanksgiving dinner for just the two of us. Well, let me rephrase that, HE is making dinner for the two of us.  Moms is sending some of the stuffing mix that she uses (the best) along with the recipe for broccoli casserole. YUM! I can't wait to eat billions of calories and drink wine ALL DAY LONG.
I did something totally new to me last night: I met some ladies at a cafe to talk about books. Yes, a book club. It was scary, but I met a lot of cool chicks. Of course L had to make fun and say that it's for nerds.  I just had to get out and try to make some friends because sitting at home on the weekends is lame.  I love L, but all this togetherness is making me crazy. I need some girl time..and wine.  We love each other, we really do ;)
Anybook-it went well.  We discussed the book for about 15 minutes and then the rest of the time was spent trying to get to know the other people. There were about 15 people and it was kind of hard to talk to everyone so half of the table were discussing one thing and half something else. One of the girls grew up in a suburb close to where I did, so that was nice to be able to talk about home.  I'll definitely go the next time and hopefully get to talk to the other people as well.
