Unmotivated

Sunday is my normal day to clean the house and to finish up errands that I didn't get to during the week. Other than grocery shopping...uh...well that's all I've accomplished other than reading articles on the web about French decorating. I did find a really great house plan that I can't afford. Here's a picture of the front. If you want the rest, go to this plan.


Pretty sweet, right? I can imagine myself poolside right now.

Style Crossroads

When my husband and I started decorating our new house 2 years ago, we decided that we wanted to do a Tuscan theme. We have used warm, saturated colors and plenty of wood and wrought iron. The problem is that I think we unwittingly have chosen things that could also be called Provencal.

What do you think people? Should I get back to Italian or push over to French? They are pretty close but I wanted to get some input. I'm having trouble posting pictures, but I will try to update later. Any thoughts?

I'm Not Going to Make It Without Cladeedah

Today was the first work day without my buddy Cladeedah. She is on a fabulous trip to China. I'm glad that staff photographer SDM was there or I wouldn't have made it.

Cladeedah Come Back to Me!

Viva Las Vegas Scavenger Hunt

When my two best high school friends were here, we decided to do a scavenger hunt for some cheezy Vegas stuff. If we found everything, we would be true Mavericks! Below are the results (thanks Anna):

Cowboy - check
Bad weave/unfortunate hair - check
Hooker - low rent version - check
- high rent version - check
- tranny - bonus!
Bachelorette party - check, more than we could count!
Bride playing at the tables - we couldn't find this one, though we did see a couple brides going into the casinos
Frat boys gone to seed - check
Latex/rubber/pleather mini dress - well, it might have been spandex or stretch satin, hard to tell given how tight it was, but it did have gold lame.
Gambler with an O2 tank - check! this one took quite a while to find - thank you Binion's!
Couple in matching track suits - also a suprisingly tough one, finally at Bellagio of all places.
Fighting couple - check
Collagen lips - check
Enormous fake boobs - oh, dear God, check!
Yard o' Beer - check
Fanny pack - check, again far too many to count.
Unfortunate bare midriff - on a cocktail waitress no doubt
Obvious gold digger - check
Lucite heels - there were actually not truly lucite, but 1 pair seen on an actual person in platform gold and several pairs of patent leather platforms availble for purchase at the World's Largest Gift Shop - so I think that should count
Biker chick/dude - check
Couple making out - check
Swingers/Rat Pack wannabes - check
High roller clearly in it for the attention - check (conveniently with a gold-digger in tow)
Getting checked out by a creepy guy - check
Motorized wheelchair - check

A few Bonus items we had not thought of...
Ascot - on an actual man at Bouchon
Pregnant cocktail waitress
Kids left in the car in one of the casino parking lots
Elvis
And 2 ladies and a possible whore!!!

And we didn't get beat up when trying to find any of this (and then ogling them)
All in all, I think we more than deserve the right to call ourselves "mavericks"!

Only in Las Vegas! You need to see it to believe it.

Friend Me, Please!

You may have noticed that the blog has been pretty quiet lately. My two best friends from high school visited me this past weekend. We had an absolute blast. I'll have some more posts about our adventures, but I wanted to share my new obsession: Facebook.

I am now obsessed in getting as many friends as possible. If you are on Facebook, please friend me. I'm easy so I will definitely accept.

Indiana Went Blue...Huh?

I grew up in Indiana. There are enough good l' boys and conservatives to keep Indiana staunchly Republican. I looked it up and Indiana has voted Republican in every Presidential election since 1964 for Lyndon Johnson. Usually, they just put a little red Indiana in the map before the vote count starts. Kind of tough if you don't vote Republican. sigh.

But look at this, baby:

Obama 1,359,875 50%
McCain 1,337,157 49%

It's a pretty nice feeling to have the candidate you voted for actually win.

The Bitch is Back

Hey folks! I've returned from my vacation in Mexico. I see you've been in good hands with my guest bloggers SDM and Cladeedah. I know, I know, you like them better than me, but you'll have to muddle through with me.

Cause this bitch is back!! Ooooooh yeah.
