Vegas twice in less than a year. This time for Ben’s big 3-0. He is old!
Have fun in Austin. I hope you get to spend a lot of time with your fam.
Cheers to both of us getting out of the cold and snow,
love, famous
Fame,
I’m going out of town for mostly business, and some pleasure. There is a conference for athletics academic advisors in… AUSTIN!!
I was inquiring about my travels, and since my sister lives in downtown Austin, I asked about the bus. This is her response, and I’ve highlighted the last two sentences, because I just love family. I’m sure everyone’s family has their quirks…

First, cute tunic! You could always wear it as a dress on casual Fridays.
(I can’t embed this video, so just click here to see what I mean.)
I know your DVR is pretty busy, but there is one more show I think you should add to your recordings. Life Unexpected. It started two weeks ago and I decided to record it after I read some good reviews. I just watched the first two episodes this past weekend and it is really good! You’ll fall in love with all the characters after the first episode. I promise. Even the fiance that you think you should hate because Cate should be with Baze is even lovable.
Cheers to another new show that more people need to watch so it isn’t canceled halfway through the first season,
love, famous
Famous - I absolutely adore this shop - and I think you’ll find you love it, too!
I’ve told you about it before - but they have tons of new items.
So I just got an order in the mail. For some reason I thought I ordered a dress, and I was amazed at how short it was when I pulled it out of the package. I just double checked - and it’s a tunic tank. But it’s still adorable!!
LOVE ME,
and if I accidentally wear this without pants, I probably forgot that I didn’t order a dress…

That is great! I have to admit, I haven’t watched a full episode of the Jersey Shore. But I think I may have to catch it during a marathon weekend. Or I’ll watch it online. I did see Snookie on the Leno show one night. Ben and I were asking each other, “Who is this chick?!” And, “Can she say guido on tv?” Well, I guess it’s cool to be a guido or guidette, right? Here I am as a guidette…
Do guidettes only wear pink flip-flops?
Cheers to the Bumpit (which Snookie says she does NOT wear, but it allows all us other ladies to pretend we are from Jersey and know how to tease our hair that high),
love, famous
And Guidettes.
Famous,
Please tell me you watch Jersey Shore! Or at least one or two episodes! I know it’s probably over-hyped right now, especially since they agreed on the $$ for the second season. But, yes, I’m falling in line with the herd of fans because I adore the cast. My name is Spamanda, and I’m a Jersey watcher! I wasn’t going to bring it up, but here is what happened.
It started by periodically catching a few minutes here or there, probably while Real Housewives of Orange County was at commercial breaks. And then, I couldn’t stop. So really, I probably saw about 65 - 75% of the season, and watching the reunion show made me wish I had the entire season on DVD to watch right now.
Occasionally at night, Jayson and I will listen to a pod cast. Usually it’s a wrestling review, or the Sports Guy reviewing something sport-sy but throwing in some pop-culture references. Well, my options a couple of nights ago were something Sports Guy that had to do with sports, or something Sports Guy reviewing Jersey Shore, or wrestling. At first I chose wrestling because Jayson watched JS for about 2 minutes and decided he was not interested. Too much “mad weird” and “mad crazy” for him. He let me choose the JS review anyway! Yesss. I stayed up until midnight to listen to the entire thing. So if you are interested, I highly recommend this review: Sports Guy review of Jersey Shore (The BS report 1/26).
Here is a short list of how I feel about the cast, and whether or not I would invite them to my party:
Angelina - Who the hell is Angelina? Oh, that’s right. She chose to leave after like one episode or something, so I never even saw an episode with her in it. I’d invite you because I’m nice, but if you bail after like 10 minutes because you have something more important to do, I won’t invite you anymore. Moving on.
J-WOWW - I think they were hoping she would be a little more drama. She has a boyfriend at home, and this is probably where they expected more drama - faithful or not? She was pretty tame throughout the show (her breasts are not), but she hung out (literally) and had a good time. So really until she back-handed punchy-thinged Mike in one of the later episodes, she didn’t do much except dance and have a good time. Definitely will be the first one to have a sex-tape get out to the media. She’s probably a good friend. I guess she can come to my party.
Mike “The Situation” - The actual word ’situation’ should no longer be allowed in everyday conversational language. In the dictionary, it should just have his name as the definition. This word came up in a pretty serious conversation at work the other day, and I had to giggle. I can’t hear it and not think of Mike. The poor guy just wanted to get laid all summer, and brought plenty of girls back to the house, but not sure if anything ever really happened. Maybe with Snooki. Other than being a total smart-ass who is sometimes a little full of himself, he keeps it real. He is absolutely invited to my party.
Sammi “Sweetheart” - Absolutely not. Sammi “Sucky heart.” This girl really sucks. She’s an instigator who then thinks she’s the victim of what she instigated. Just stop you fun-sucker. I’m surprised someone didn’t slap you this season. What party? Hell no.
Nicole “Snooki” - I honestly didn’t know until just now that Nicole is her real name. The entire cast called her every version of Snooki - Snook’ems, Snickers, Snicks, Snooks. And LISTEN UP Sammi, I think Snooki is the real sweetheart. How can you not love this adorable, fun-loving, good-time having, looking for love kinda Guidette? She’s invited to my party anytime. But, her 80’s hair clips are not.
DJ Pauly D - He’s the loyal cutie pie. The true wing man who doesn’t really talk shit and always stands by his bros. He usually takes one for the team, an ugly one, so that the other team member can get the hotter one. Plus, I’m pretty sure he’s keeping some hair gel company in business. He’s also invited to my party anytime.
Ronnie - This little power house is kind of a cutie too, but a sucker for his drama mama, Sammi. WTF, Ronnie. You can do better. On the reunion show, everyone decided you were the best dancer. Not sure if there is a best dancer in the group, but at least it’s entertaining. But seriously, kick the chick to the curb and then you can come to my party. Oh, and don’t punch anyone, son.
Vinny - The true mama’s boy. He may actually be the most sane one in the group. Just hanging out, having a good time, lovin’ his family and friends. And what a way to spend the summer when you are 21! Please come to my party and bring your mom, or a date.
So there it is. Gym. Tan. Laundry.
LOVE ME,
GTL, baby. One shot son. I’m gonna go stalk some juice head’s whole life.

P.S. I Jersey Shored myself here: I would never wear pink flip-flops with this outfit, but it was the best shoe choice of the two.

Ben and I signed the papers last week. We’re officially homeowners (again)!! Here is a virtual tour…
The outside
Going up a step, you’ll enter into the dining room. And the kitchen.
There is a wall to the right of this picture, on the other side of that wall is the living room…
Down the hall (which would be behind you right now), one of the bedrooms…
See the vaulted ceilings?!
The upstairs bathroom…
Down the steps to the basement…
Downstairs bathroom…
We have started hauling our stored items over, but will not be moving for a few more weeks. We have until the end of February to be out of our rental, so we are going to take our time. It is sad not living there though. Ben spent last night at the house, with the boys (he had to be there this morning while our new washer and dryer were delivered). The dogs absolutely love it. Most of the windows are low enough for them to see out and there will be a lot of wildlife to watch. Ben saw deer tracks the other day…
I can’t wait for Keyser to see his first deer!
Good luck with everything coming your way in the next couple of days. I hope it all goes well!
Cheers to our new abode,
love, famous

Meet Lily the bear.
As of yesterday she is a new mom! The North American Bear Center in Ely, MN put a camera in hibernating Lily’s den and was able the capture this miracle of birth. I guess it is quite rare to capture such a moment, the likely reason being it is hard to get a camera in a hibernating bear’s den.
Anyways, go to the Bear Center’s website and take a look at the new mother and cub. I haven’t caught a glimpse of the little one yet, but you can hear him or her make cute little cub noises!
Awww.
I hope you are staying dry and warm! I just went out with the boys and we came back looking like drowned rats. I’d much rather be dealing with snow.
Cheers to Lily and her new cub!

Famous,
I love photo editing - and here is why:

When you walk into a public restroom that reeks, and out of all of the stalls available, you choose the one that the reek is coming from.
gag.
