Last Week in Pix/Don't Try This At Home +2x2

Hi!

Last week in pictures...here we go:

I voted by mail!!

This was my first time to vote as a Californian, so that's exciting. I also voted Yes on the proposition for porn stars to wear condoms. Yes, that's a real thing. God bless Los Angeles.

Friday night I got all touristy because my friend Eric was in town from Quebec. So we went to Hollywood and saw the sights.

More sights...

Brandi and Eric....

Shrek's star (he's probably the most famous star. Just sayin.)

Then, on the way home at almost 4 a.m. while there was no one on the road, I got a little adventurous. Kids: do NOT try this stunt! I was really really really really dumb for doing it. But. I did. And I was really really really really dumb for photographing it. But. I did. I went over 100 mph on the highway. Go, Mini, Go!

Stunts performed by a really really really stupid chick and should not be attempted by anyone, ever.

2x2

Last week I learned...

1. My hair is getting too long/big for bantu knot-outs and I need to come up with a different style

2. It's time for a friend cleanse. A few people are adding more drama than goodness to my life and 'ain't nobody got time for that.'

This week I'm looking forward to...

1.Halloween and the first costume made just for me! Lisa is helping me make my Ganja Fairy costume and I'm so excited!

2. Trying to go gluten free. I know I feel better when I eat that way, but I haven't had the will power to stick with it. But I'm tired of feeling sick when I eat. I went in to budgeting kicking and screaming but now I see it paying off, literally. So I can only hope that this will have a similar outcome.

I hope you had a great weekend, because here comes another week. ::Sigh::

why wide awake?

i'm accepting the fact that i can't sleep. it's 2 a.m. and i'm going to be REALLY sorry in about four hours. i have a lot on my mind. usually when that happens i sleep a lot, which is what i've been doing the last week. perhaps i've used up all of my sleep hours. my little- doggie -sonic, on the other hand, has done nothing but sleep since i picked him up from doggie daycare today. YES!! sonic went to doggie daycare for the first time today. well, yesterday. since The Man left he has been really clingy and over protective. he growls and barks at every little thing, and he's always full of energy now that he is alone all day. i figured the best affordable solution is a day at doggie daycare each week. last weekend he passed his temperament test at The Pampered Pet , so we set his all day appointment. when i dropped him off wednesday morning it broke my heart. he didn't understand why i couldn't go with him to the play room. the lady had to pic

I'm tired of trying to explain

I went on a trip home to Oklahoma last week. I brought Jersey Mike for his first real visit to the state and his first time meeting my friends. It was fantastic and fun. I'd love to tell you all about it. But I can't right now. I can't focus on anything right now. Upon returning to Los Angeles, I logged onto Twitter and started seeing headlines about the Charleston shooting. I immediately turned it off. At first I felt wrong about doing it. At first I felt like I should face it head-on, get angry, put on my activist hat and get to work. But I didn't. I couldn't do it. I'd just gotten home from being surrounded by love. Yes, being back in Oklahoma I heard conversations filled with intolerance. I needed to point out and shut down a few comments that were insensitive and just plain rude. That's something I've gotten used to when visiting home. I'm surrounded by liberals and hippies here in Los Angeles. We are a melting pot of colors,

Last Week in Pix + 2x2 - Long Weekend Bliss

Last week was STRESSFUL. Work was the normal amount of unnecessary crap. Bad weather near my hometown was no fun at all. Let's just say this long weekend could not have come at a better time. FRIDAY; Raise A Glass For Oklahoma! happened at SOUTH in Santa Monica. We are still waiting for the final report from the bar, but we are pretty sure we reached our goal to raise $1000 for Feed The Children in Oklahoma City. Check out the progress here: https://app.mobilecause.com/public/social/7524 It was great that people were down to help out. We had amazing raffle prizes, the bar is donating 15% of the night's sales, and a lot of Oklahomies showed up, which was just wonderful. And because the more we drank the more money the bar would donate...we drank a fair amount. SATURDAY & SUNDAY: Yoga did not happen. I tried really hard, but all of my donation drinking said no. I finally got rolling in the afternoon, packed up my stuff and Sonic
