Irene

Well I have been busy with work and pretty boring in life, so sorry for the two week delay.  Just haven't been feeling like writing.
Don't really have much to say today either.  We just had a hurricane over the weekend IRENE.  She did lots of damage around NC and other parts of the east coast.  I'm glad all my friends and family are safe and praying for those who had damage during the storm.
I personally didn't have any damage, just some limbs on our roof and on my car, but all is ok.  Here are some pic's that I saw on WRAL that are pretty bad.

What we learn from Liftetime Movies

So it's a rainy day and my sister and I were talking about things people do on rainy days.  I was trying to come up with a new blog and she suggested what boys do on a rainy day vs what girls do.... and I said that was too easy.  Video games vs Lifetime movies, then it hit me.  Who doesn't love a good lifetime movie, who has NEVER seen one, who doesn't love Tori Spelling better on lifetime and all the other has beens that tell those teenage stories of romance, teenage pregnancy, death, broken hearts, and lost friends.
So what exactly have we learned from Lifetime?

1. You will always find love in the most unexpected places.  Like in 12 men of Christmas when you have to relocate from NYC to Montana and decide to write story about the search and rescue men and help them raise money, you couldn't help but fall in love with one of the hot rescue man who is against the idea from the start.  Where do these men exist in the real world, guess I need to step out of my comfort zone.

2. If you are a teen and you become pregnant, everyone will find out.  You no longer can pass off the baby as your moms or your older sisters.  So just fess up to it, people are more accepting these days.  Also if you give your child up for adoption like in A child lost forever, don't go looking for them.  There is always trouble that happens when you go looking for your lost child.

3.  The wrongly are often accused.  More than likely the wrong person will go to jail.  They will serve time and then they will come after you.  So be ware and if there happens to be a fluke prison incident which required plastic surgery, you will never see her coming after you, like in A Face to die for, starring the one and only Yasmeen Bleeth.

4. You never get anywhere on time.  You are trying to make a flight to your wedding and get stranded in the airport on Christmas eve and decide to take a cab that turns into an adventure, like in A Fare to Remember.  Whenever you get stranded in Lifetime movies you always meet someone interesting that usually will take you on some sort of journey, so just go with it.

5. Finally if you "hook up" with someone under age, you will be caught.  If you are a teacher, babysitter or coach you will lose your job and be condemned in the public eye, just like in All-American Girl; Mary Kay LeTourneau  Or if you are the babysitter and the dad comes onto you, don't do it, like in The Babysitter's Seduction. So remember 18 to party, 21 to drink!

So enjoy a rainy day on the couch and catch up on all our favorite Lifetime Movies.

My Wedding Day Rap

So today I just felt like writing a rap.  I actually wrote two.... one for my potential wedding day or just a brides version on her wedding day.  And the other for my sisters birthday, which I will reveal later after her b-day.


To the tune of It's Getting Hot in here, by Nelly

I was like good gracious flowers bodacious

Uh, it’s spacious, tryin to show patience

Lookin for the right time to make my move

Waitin for the right time to see my groom

Then I’m walking, no talking

Oh me and the rest of my bridesmaids

Check it, got it finished up with the ring trade

Country Club, outside, people are feedin

No dancin’, people eating and  glancin

I need you to get up up on the dance floor

Give these guest what they came here for

This bride is bustin loose, she’s shaking it just for you (ah, ah)

 Look here comes the groom, who knows what they’re gonna do

I Said

We tied the Knot in here

Goodbye to all your hoes

We are man and wife, I wanna take your clothes off?


Oh
Let it hang all out

Why you a bartender if you ain’t poppin bottles

Get these guest drunk and make them waddle

I wanna see them have fun and go full throttle

This bride is down, do some shots, give me a bottle

Get on the dancefloor, break down and worm it

MC Hammer, the duggie, it’s time to move it

Grocery cart, get out and push it

We’re all white and we can do it

Warm, sweatin hot up in this joint

Vodka shots, everyone at this point

You married a winner so you can’t lose

I’ll show you things on our honeymoon

Let’s break it down, like we’re home alone

I’ll grind up on you, like we’re gonna bone

Planning this wedding and all did all we could

Like “I think we done real good”

I Said

We tied the Knot in here

Goodbye to all your hoes

We are man and wife, I wanna take your clothes off?

I Said

We tied the Knot in here

Goodbye to all your hoes

We are man and wife, I wanna take your clothes off?

(nelly let it hang all out)
Mix a little bit a ah, ah
With a little bit a ah, ah
(nelly let it just fall out)
Give a little bit a ah, ah
With a little bit a ah, ah
(nelly let it hang all out)
With a little bit a ah, ah
And a sprinkle a that ah, ah
(nelly let it just fall out)
I like it when ya ah, ah
Girl, Baby make it ah, ah

Believe it, we’re leaving

Throw some rice and we’re headed out (what)

Honeymoon, en route

We gotta go do it

Extra, extra eh, spread the news (check it)

We are hitched and there’s no more blues

We’ll come back with some bomb ass tan lines

Now all the girls know The BOY is MINE

I Said

We tied the Knot in here

Goodbye to all your hoes

We are man and wife, I wanna take your clothes off?

(Chorus x 4)

Get Glittered

So I got a little text the other day that said you wanna go to the Ke$ha concert for FREE.  Well hell yeah, I'll go anywhere for FREE.  Plus I need to stop being a loser and laying on my couch all the time.  So Lindsay and I got together along with Ashley, Alex and Drew and made our way to Ke$sha concert on Tuesday night.  I thought for sure I can't go to this thing sober, so I drank a few beers, put on some glitter and a ridiculous outfit and headed out.  A,A and D were already there, so when we arrived the place was packed.  I guess maybe I haven't been to a weirdo pop icon concert in a while... I mean everyone...EVERYONE from 7 years old to 70 years old was dressed up.  I have never seen so much glitter in my life, there will be Glitter in Raleigh Amphitheater FOREVER.  There were some girls who had on glitter body paste, yes they had glitter plastered all over their bodies from head to toe.  There were some neon yellow sports bra's with shorts/skirts/fish nets/combat boots.  I wish I could have taken pictures of the madness that ensued around me.  Lindsay probably thought I was drunk, but I was just in utter shock of what was happening around me and oh the SCREAMS....or shrills is probably more like it.  Constant screaming, it was GREAT. 

 

We were totally G-ma's and got a spot next to the misting tent where there was plenty of room to hang out and a railing to even lean against.  There was some great drunk moves from others that took place in the misting tent... a girl with a rainbow striped tube top dress who kept kicking her legs over her head and who turned to Lindsay and I and said OMG it's Ke$sha, I said yes and nice to meet you.  Although I'm pretty sure Ke$sha would have said Yeah, and haha you are hammered.  It was pretty funny.  Also a guy in front on us with straight legged black jeans and a neon tank top, dancing his ASS off.... you GO BOY!  He had some serious moves.  Also saw a black guy with really tight bermuda shorts and tank with GOLD SHOES.... I said look MICHAEL JOHNSON...haha.  Because those are two things that don't go together are Ke$ha and Olympic Track and Field Star Michael Johnson although in some way they both like shinny things.  SOOOOOO it was sooo much fun and I realized I LOVE Ke$ha, so if anyone would like to burn me a CD of hers that would be great.  Her songs are intense and somewhat man hate-ish, which is awesome.  I love Grow a Pair and the fact that one of her back up dancers was dressed like a PEAR and the other like PENIS, pure entertainment.  Thought I would leave you with some of the Lyrics...  peace out people and get your GLITTER on and spread is all over the world.

When we fell in love you made my heart drop
And you had me thinking 'bout you nonstop
But you cry 'bout this and whine about that
When you grow a pear, you can call me back
Yeah I think you're hot; I think your alright
But you're acting like a chick all the time
You were cool and now you're not just like that
When you grow a pear, you can call me back

When I first met you panties droppin'
Everytime I saw you it was on and
One day you asked if we could just talk
And that's the reason why I'm walkin'
If I am honest, I'm just not hooked on your phonics
I'm not trying to be rude or crude
I just wanted one thing from you
And you got confused

When you grow a pear, you can call me back (x5)

And no, I don't want to see your mangina

Jersey Time

Ok Folks so my fav Jersey Shore kids are back in the house, or rather back in ITALY!!!  Wow and are they proving to be more idiotic than ever.  I was so excited that they were back, I poofed my hair and in preparation for the new season premier. 
So we start off with the same old same old, seeing everyone talking on the phone and making plans for their Italian trip.  All the guys are going to meet at Vinny's house, because of course we couldn't go through a season without Vinny's mom making a HUGE meal!!  Please Please invite me to your house for dinner Vinny, all that food looks so awesome, but maybe next summer after I'm off this bridesmaid diet.  All the girls head over to Snooker's house.  Do all these people still live with their parents except Ronnie, because all their parents help them pack!  I would think as much as MTV is paying them they could afford their own place. 
And just to start the new season I would like to give myself a Jersey Shore nickname and since Snookie is my favorite I would like to be now known as Hookie... that's a combo of Holden and Snookie!  Ok sounds like I would fit in great at the Jersey Shore, Myrtle Beach or Hollywood Blvd with that name.  So Hookie it is, I mean because I like to skip school.....

Ok first lets address the changes...
-WHO IS JWOWW?... I mean she looks completely different, she has lost lots of weight, gotten a nose job and possibly botox, or her face just looks weird because she is soooo skinny. 
-Snookie lost weight, but we all know because she has been talking about it in all the magazines and all over TV.  She looks good, we have Snookie first season back in the house, with some blonde extensions underneath.
-Deena has lost weight and maybe toned up as well....if she would just follow in JWOWW's footsteps and get a nose job, she would be good to go....or DTF.
-Sammi sweetheart, I'm gonna try and like you this season, but you were so whinny the 3 season's before your chances might have been blown.  You have put on some lb's since Jersey, and your boobs look bigger, but I think it's just a push-up bra, no enhancement.  So lay off the Italian Ice's...haha
-Boys... you look the same!  Pauly D my FAV!!!
So the girls vs guys begin, they both want to get there first so they can get the better rooms.  And of course the guys get there first and there is no elevator and they each have like 5 suitcases except Situation who has like 9 and Snookers who has like 10.  I was very surprised that Pauly D and the rest of the cast did get adaptors for their hair appliances, straighteners and blow dryers, so either someone told them or they found it on the Internet aimlessly googling.  Or perhaps Pauly D learned from Britney Spears (she is sooo international) and he is DJ-ing on her TOUR!  I might just go see her in concert for that reason, PAULY D!

Shocker the girls get lost the first day and go back to the house, they decide not to eat, but to go to the gym.  NO FOOD might be the answer as to why they are all so skinny....Sammie you should get on that plan.  Snookers shows us her work out routine around the house and Pauly D says she looks like she is having sex with herself....haha.  He just has the best lines, without trying.  Then we are gearing up for a night out, wow it's such a process to get ready they must start at like 6pm to be ready to go by 12pm.  The voltage difference with the adaptors really puts a bump in this whole process and I'm not talking about the one on Snookie's head.  They finally figure out the straightener will only work in the Kitchen outlet.... gross burnt hair all over your kitchen.
We learn how to say "Cabs are here" in Italian from Vinny who has been studying the language and learning lots of dirty things from uncle Nino, which I'm sure will NOT work on Italian girls.  We'll just have to see.
Situation tries to make out with Snookie, but she REJECTS him because she has a boyfriend and is happy and good for her.  SIT you are a douchebag, just let the poor girl have a Gorilla Juice Head Boyfriend for a few episodes, that is all she has been looking for since DAY 1, SEASON 1!!!   Don't worry the PREVIEWS show us that Sit gets what is coming to him....Bamb, thanks RON!  Maybe you will actually bring something to this season besides tears :(
So all in all a good episode, had some dumb comments, dumb moments, good previews.  Also did anyone else notice that no one really talked or hung out with SIT, I think they are all "OVER HIM".... he is just there to stir up DRAMA!!!   Otherwise, no one cares if he is there..
So tune in to my Fav show Thurs nights 10pm and watch the amazingness that unfolds.  I would've love to had a video camera at Myrtle Beach back in the day, we would have put these Jersey Shore kids to shame!  Maybe that will be my next adventure... stay tuned for the next episode of Myrtle Beach Days....starring Hookie, the tanned up country girl from Johnston County, making her way to the Grand Strand at Myrtle Beach, to meet boys, go to wild parties and dance (not to house music).
Happy Weekend Ya'll :)

Me and my girl Snookie..... TWINS!

Concert Tee's

So I'm gearing up for the Kenny Chesney concert this Friday night Aug 5th and realize I have not bought my ticket...oopps.  Where are the days when I use to count down the seconds til I could log on and score that first set of tickets months before the concert.  Where has that excitement gone, how could I let a concert sneak up on me like that?  Where are the plans, who is going, who is driving, what are we taking to eat, what are we taking to DRINK, is anyone getting mini bottles?  These are the questions we should be asking ourselves people.  Not sitting at work on a Sunday scowering craigslist for a set of tickets.  So if anyone out there has some and wants to give/sell them to me and my friends that would be great.

Remember your first concert, remember wanting to buy that T-shirt and rock out Paula Abduls' face all over school the next week, along with the Color Me Bad pins!!!  Yes those were the days, when you and your girlfriends would get together and decide what you were going to wear a week before the concert, because I mean for real if Paula Abdul ever saw you in something less than perfect it would be over.... and the chance that the cute boy would check you out!  Yeah right like there were cute boys who went to Paula Abdul???  Hey you never know.  I'm not sure which parent got the pleasure of taking me to this concert and I'm pretty sure it was my dad, because my mom always stayed home with the little ones.  My dad just doesn't know what kinda awesome shows he got to see because he had young girls.   Paula Abdul & Color Me Bad, New Kids on the Block, N'Sync, BSB, American Idol... then there was Britney, but we were old enough to by ourselves by then....COLLEGE!!  I also got to go to Jimmy Buffet with my dad, he made me a Parothead, not sure if that is a good thing or not these days???

So now when I go to concerts and I see people wearing the concert Tee from last year, 10, 15 years ago...it's kinda a joke??  Why??  I don't know, this made me think.  Maybe this person went to their first Kenny concert with their dad and maybe he bought them that T-shirt and he likes to wear it to each one and remember that first concert experience with his dad.  That actually sounds kinda cool, if I could find my Paula T-shirt or could fit in it and she came back around I would totally wear it. 

So as I'm preparing for the concert (which I don't have a ticket for and just learned is sold out) I start to think about what I want to wear.  The 100 degree heat will play a factor, but I'm thinking shorts (if only I had jorts), probably boots because it's a country concert, and it's dirty and I don't like flops in that gravel.  And now if only I had bought a concert Tee at that first Kenny Show I could totally rock that :(   But since I don't, maybe a cute tank top or even better NASCAR T-shirt... yep it has Championship rings on it for the last 10 years.  I acquired this fine piece in an auction actually, no one bid on it and it was for Charity, so for $25 I got a NASCAR T-shirt and Go Cart passes!  And the money went to a good cause, and now that T-shirt is going to a good cause and representing my non concert Tee.  I mean boots, country music and nascar, those just sounds like they all go together.  I will however forgo my Cowboy hat, but a possible camouflage hat could make the  replacement.

So I have basically decided to dress pretty much like the people I have made fun of my whole life... because who really cares what you are wearing if you are having fun... and lots of cold beverages.  And if I so happen to meet Kenny Chesney or that cute boy in this outfit well then so be it and I'll snap a pic and show everyone it can be DONE!
