"great day"

So Kambria called me Saturday morning to see what I was up too. We decided to do something fun. Maybe lunch and a movie? We still hadn't decided when I picked her up. She had mentioned Olive Garden in Salem or Eugene or maybe Valley River Center. So I pull up to get her. I see John Boy out front and as soon as he sees me he quickly retreats to the house. Should I be offended by that? Whatever...
So as soon as she get in the car, (before I could say a thing), she said "how about the Roadhouse Grill in Salem". Psyhic. I was going to say the exact same thing. Weird, but we do that all the time. In our friendship, the destination isn't alway the big prize.
It's all about the car ride. :)
The things we have discussed, and learned in the car are the best part. So we reminisced about Betty and Scooby. We decided we are OVER IT.
We saw a tow truck and emergency vehicles on the freeway and were very releived not to see the jaws of life. Looked pretty mild.
We were at the exit at Lancaster about 5 cars back from the light. There was a bum/hobo on the corner (not unusual for that corner). There was a van two cars in front of us that was handing the homeless man some change. I don't know if it's because the light changed green or what but as the man was trying to walk to the van (he wasn't very stable on his feet) the driver THREW a handful of change at him and sped off. Our mouths were gaping open. It was the most humiliating, degrating thing I think I have every witnessed. I don't condone begging on the corner for money, but he is still a human being. He was so shocked and stunned he couldn't even bend over to pick up the money. We felt so sad for him.






So we procede to the Roadhouse Grill. We had the best salad EVER. The honey rolls were pretty orgasmic too. (ha ha kam, more to that story, but it is too inappropriate to put on my blog. Kathy reads this ya know. Hi Kathy!!!!!) :)
So we decided (why I am not sure) to split dessert. We were miserable after and paid the price. But it was a HUGE hot fudge, brownie sundae with carmel. Two spoons please. Delicious, decadant, fattening!! Whatever, move on.

So after our pig out, we decided to go see a movie. The Benjiman Button one with Brad Pitt. So we go to the theater at Lancaster Mall and were going to pre-buy our tickets and then kill some time before the movie. The stupid movie wasn't at that theater. ha ha. Whatever. Move on.
So we walked thru Lancaster without any shootings (scary mall) and decided to head down to Nordstrom Mall. We ditched the movie idea. We were too lathargic to sit in a dark theater and come down off of our sugar high. We would have crashed and burned.
So we wandered thru the mall. Went to Nordies to look at shoes, makeup, jewelry, etc. Kam wanted to get some Philosophy products for her sons girlfriend for Valentines day. I was wandering in shoe-land and she came back over to me PISSED OFF.
It was a total "pretty woman" moment.
She said those UGG-ly (pun, figure it out :) sales people wouldn't give her the time of day. Granted we were bothed dressed in fleece pullovers and jeans, tennies. We were presentable, but not dressed to the nines. They looked at us like we were the hobos. I wanted to go back over there and tell them that we didn't have time anyways because our private jet was up on the heli pad waiting to take us back to our palace. Bitches. Whatever, move on.


So now we are seeing what everyone else is wearing when they go shopping. To be honest, I really don't notice too much unless its extreme. Well, we saw it. A woman in her mid-forties dressed kind of like this. Would they have treated us better if we had a sweater on as a dress and hideous tights? By now we are kind of over it. Tired.
Overall we had a GREAT day. The sun was shining and the birds were chirping. (in a good way).
Had an enjoyable day with my best friend!


For my closing statement. We saw written on someones window with white writing "Bung Hole". ha ha hahahahhaha a a hahhahahah a ahahahaaa hahahhahahah

"my weekend"

-I had such grand plans for this weekend.
Nicole had a basketball tourney in Corvallis and was going to stay with Jasmine and Tyler stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Mary.
-Friday: worked all day. Came home and helped kids get their stuff ready and shipped them off. Hubs and I went to the new Restaurant in Albany, Cascade Grill. Was pretty good. Had a glass of wine. Wanted to come home and spend some "quality time" (tee hee) with Hubby, watch a movie and read some of my book. Fell asleep on the couch. I just shut down from exhaustion of life.
-Saturday: Got up and ready for Nicole's basketball tourney in Corvallis. She is out because she injured her knee again at Thursday nights game. But I went to support the team and her sitting on the bench, because that's what mom's do! Sat through two games and then took her to Urgent Care to have her knee checked out. She re-injured her MCL (same as last year), but just needs to take it easy for a week or so and slowly ease back into practice. Had a car full of kids. Took them to get something to eat.
Got a call from my friend Teresa at about 3:30 pm wanting to go to Portland to shop at Washington Square. So we headed up there and closed down the mall and got home at 11:15 pm. I spent $12.00 on dinner. Came home with NOTHIN'.
-Sunday: 2nd day of tournament got moved to Lebanon High School. Being the supportive mom that I am. Went and sat thru two games. Before that I went to visit my grandma who is very sick. Had a nice visit, but I am afraid that was my last goodbye to her :(
Then went to Walmart and picked up a few things, came home, not even sure if I ate dinner. Got kids ready for bed and a new week. Collapsed into bed and read a few pages of my book before I fell asleep.
So much for a relaxing weekend.
I miss my BFF :( She had a busy sports weekend too. We need to get together!!!!!!!!! I need you.
Today I had a full schedule at work. Went in at 9:00 am and my first two clients cancelled due to the flu. So I came back home for awhile. Good that I can do a few things around the house this morning, but bad because I need to money! I have a few appts this afternoon, so I do have to go back in.
I made the most of my morning.
Blogged, went on a 1.5 mile walk (Nicole forgot her homework, so I walked it to the school and kept on walking), laundry, banking and then off to work.
Hope everyone has a great day. I am struggling with keeping myself together today.OVERWHELMED!

Me and my BFF. She is lookin' hot.My great friend Teresa. Also hot. I do have hot friends don't I? The rest of my hot friends are in the following pics.
This really looks worse than it was. (I didn't drive home!). Throw a little Maxine in the mix and we are smokin'. (smokin' hot, not really smokin') I'm not sure what Kam is doing. She is out of control!! :)


Hot mamma Tara. Now we are on fire.

This one doesn't really need any explaining. I just needed a good laugh. I am sure Kambria is laughing her ass off too. And still out of control. ha ha haha.

tagged....."5 things I am addicted too....."

So I have been tagged by my good friend Susanne. Hmmmm.... List 5 things I am addicted too.

Workout wear.
Love to buy it. Love to wear it. Just love it.
But tonight I went to the gym lookin' like a hobo. What's up with that?? I guess the treadmill doesn't care. right? Addicted to HOT SHOES.
I want to sleep in these :)

The Twilight series.
On book #3. Can't put them down. Will be sad when they are over. Want to savor book #4.
DVR.
Really would die without it.
ALL of my reality TV and the such is DVR'd for after 9:00 pm. Thats when I finally get to sit down and mindlessly stare at the TV for a while. Stay up much too late watching TV.
Enjoyable.
Addicted to "retail therapy". I don't really need to spend. Just shop. Love to find a bargain. The one activity BFF and I don't do together. She is a "get in and get out, get what you need". I am a "browse for hours and don't need to spend a dime".
