pesto is a little biatch...

It is time for a Pesto the Pigeon update! Do you all remember little Pesto? You know my pigeon kid? If not then go on over here and meet him. So, I didn't feel like typing up a blog post today...instead I made a vlog. Enjoy...

Alright, I need some honesty from you lovelies. It is voting time! Who thinks I will kill Pesto, by squeezing him to death, before the end of semester? Anyone? Anyone?

conclusion to the battle of epic pronunciation...

Okay folks...the results are in from The Scallop Poll of 2009. Yep...that's right you can all take a deep breath and know that proper pronunciation has won out and Vanessa, you can keep your faith in the English language!

As I said before I am counting some of my real-life friends and families votes...as well as my blog-buds!

So let me break it down for you all....

My good buddy Jil, her mom and dad, and my two dumb brothers all voted for option #2 (if you don't remember which option was which go here)...adding up to a total of 5 votes!

Jen (who was a member of the original scallop disagreement, along with Jil and myself), my mama, her friend Connie, my brothers girlfriend Bastina, Krista's husband Kyle, friends of the blog Vanessa and Amanda, and myself all voted for option #1...adding to a whopping total of 8 votes! What does that mean?

Option #1 kicked some serious boo-tay! (yes...only by three votes but c'mon...I only have four followers! that's as high as the numbers can get!)

Everyone can rest assured that even though the English language has taken some blows recently (like eliminating hyphens, adding bootylicious to the dictionary, and my own abuse of ellipses) there are still aspects of it that remain proper...such as the pronunciation of the word 'scallop'.

Word...

happy...

So I have had a busy long day...but I did want to post something, so I don't go back to being a blog slacker...so here it is...short and sweet...the things that are making me happy right now...

Reason I am happy #1:

It was only 63 degrees today...this gives me hope that fall has finally started to peek it's head around the corner...hi fall! (oh, and I did NOT take that picture...I jacked it off of Photobucket)...

Reason I am happy #2:

I have the ENTIRE house to myself for a whole week, this always makes me happy. Not that I don't love my family but I also love to just hang by myself at times...it is blissful. Why you may ask do I love this alone time...no not so I can throw parties and go crazy...just so I can hang out in silence and just be...

Reason I am happy #3:

For the first time in a long time I got to rock my favorite slippers...yes they may be a bit hideous...but I love them and so do my feet...

Reason I am Happy #4:

First off ignore the uncuteness of myself and focus on the cuteness of my niece. We were hanging out before bedtime enjoying some icee's. I am glad to have shared my love of blue slushees with her...(and fyi...this blue took about 15 minutes to brush out of her mouth...)

Reason I am happy #5:

I do not have a picture for this one. I am glad to be back in the groove with my gym attendance...(which lately due to being busy) I have been slackin'. Here's to our new mission...we will take and complete a spinning class with the TOUGHEST instructor at the gym. Please pray that Jil and I do not perish in this endeavor. Kthankbye.

Reason I am happy #6:

I have a ginormous box of these heavenly creatures in my kitchen at this very moment...oh the power of Sprinkle's Cupcakes...

Reason I am happy #7:

See this girl? She is a riot. Also known as my good friend Jilian...also known as Jil...or Jily...or northstatemortgage (in the comments section)...or Aunt Honey...or Ding-a-Ling Maybell (that one is another story for another time). Anywho she is the bomb dot com AND she is going to be gracing my blog with her hilarious self. Yep, later in the week she will have an awesome guest post right here on 'Always Alexandria'

Okay I am stopping at seven because I am tired and thats all I could think of! So do tell blog friends...what are you happy about today?

Oh! Don't forget if you haven't already voted in The Scallop Poll of 2009...please do so. Voting is over Wednesday my friends....do me proud!
