the super fabulous road trip of pure awesomeness {2}...

If you were not already aware Bff Jil and I took a lovely road trip last week. For Part 1 of our epic adventure please click here. I want ALL of you to click there and play the game we made up...so far only like one person has contributed! Come on people! Do not make me lose faith in you!

Anywho...this post is dedicated to the lovefest Bff Jil and I have with food...and with each other. We always joke that we are a couple, because we are pretty much the same person, we do everything together, and basically we are pretty much common law married. I mean if one of us was a dude the relationship would work out perfectly...just sayin'...

We had some of THE best seafood of our lives on this adventure, so we figured we would photograph some of our favorite meals! Prepare to have multiple foodgasms while reading this post. For serious. Also, prepare for the slightly inappropriate photos I had to add to this post for good measure...love us through it...

When we first arrived in Port Angeles, we noticed how clear and blue the water around us was. Duh. Water is clear. But the water there was BEAUTIFUL. We decided we must get some recommendation for the best seafood in town...and we were directed to 'Downriggers'. It did not disappoint in the slightest...

Why hello Best Clam Chowder Of My Life, you were delicious and I wanted to make sweet soupy love to you...as did Bff jil. You were better than my mother's clam chowder (shhh...don't tell her I said that)...

This is Bff Jil's foodgasm face...homegirl was obviously stoked for some fresh hot bread and soupy deliciousness in her belly...

For some reason Jil took 75,000 pictures of her soup...

Yep. It was THAT good, that we both took bread and scraped every morsel out of those bowls...it was thisclose to us just licking the bowl clean...

After making love to my soup I enjoyed hand battered fresh prawns...um they made me say holllllerrrr...

Bff Jil had grilled prawns...they were freaking delicious as well...let's just say that we ate at this restaurant BOTH nights that we were in Port Angles. Yum...

As we made our way back to our hotel room (and got lost about 12 times) we noticed these creepspice people statues all along the sidewalk. So we obviously had to get out and take pictures with them...I love me some boobage...

Bff Jil had to snap a picture as well...she loves some bend-overage...obvi...

Okay, I seriously have like 12,000 pictures of food from this trip...but there is no way I am posting all of them. Why? Well, because it is making me hungry...and it will make y'all want to lick your computer screens...which is probably not an awesome idea.

Although there is one more food-centric tale that I must include. Like I mentioned before Bff Jil and I are pretty much a couple. We decided to go out for Italian food when we finally arrived in Spokane (after the longest most boring 6 hour drive of my freaking life). We ventured out to Luigi's...and while at this restaurant we took our 'biatchmance' to a new level...

We snapped a 'signature pose' in the car on our way to din-din. Why yes, we DO love ginormous sunglasses...we are legit like that...

We made it to downtown Spokane and found the heavenly Italian food mecca, known as Luigi's. While we were perusing the menu, I suggested we take it easy on the pasta and stop eating before we get too stuffed for dessert. I. Wanted. Dessert. Specifically, I wanted to try Creme Brulee...which I had never had. So, we refrained from stuffing ourselves (kind of) and ordered one creme brulee to split...

It was obviously delicious...being that we only photographed the bowl after we had scraped it clean. We then realized that we took our straight-girl-date-night to a whole new level as we shared a dessert in a dark, candle lit restaurant, on a Friday night...

Bff Jil decided to document the seriousness of our relationship. What better way to document true freaking love, than by writing it out in chocolate? Why yes, that does say 'J+A' in chocolate, don't hate...

There you have it folks! Those are the highlights of all of the foodgasms we had on the road trip, now I am freaking hungry and want creme brulee.

Have a fabulous weekends lovey dolls!

a little pomp and circumstance...

I have SO much to blog about, I am very much behind. I decided I will catch up on old posts in between telling you all about the road trip Bff Jil and I just took. If you are not aware of this trip click here and play along in a lovely game I created for you all.

In May something kind of epic happened, I became a college graduate. I was not down with participating in the commencement ceremony at all. Why? Well because I am going to grad school and I feel like I am not even done with school yet...but I gave in and walked to please the family. I was SUCH a picture failure on this momentous occasion...so epic of a failure that I have not ONE picture with my mom from graduation. I am still bitter about that fact. So here is a picture explosion from graduation and the party that commenced that same afternoon. Enjoy...

Sometimes...my school has a cheesy slogan around the stage. "Today Decides Tomorrow." Wow. Brilliant. I totally wonder who came up with that little gem...


Sometimes...I leave graduation early and book it home to take pictures in my cap and gown instead of fighting the crowds in the stadium. Sometimes I also change out of my pretty graduation dress into jeans without thinking they could be seen in this picture with the grandparents, one of which is apparently coughing up a lung...


Sometimes my niece is the cutest thing on the planet (okay she is ALWAYS the cutest thing on the planet)...

Sometimes my mom's friend Julie sets up a bar in the backyard...where Bff Jil, Connie, and I proceed to make (and drink) mango margaritas. Yum...

Sometimes Julie is a terrible example...such as letting Bug be her bartending assistant for the afternoon. *facepalm*...

Sometimes I almost die of shock when I find a picture of my brother Jon-than, and he is actually smiling AND looking at the camera. He is probably smiling in this picture because Lisa is being inappropriate and making him uncomfortable...

Sometimes the calm adults sit around the patio table and shoot the breeze....

Sometimes the wild & crazy adults stand around the 'bar' and do straight shots of tequila...

Sometimes those same wild & crazy adults do more shots of tequila...and more...and more...and then a few more...just for fun...

Sometimes the calm adults and the wild & crazy adults come together for just a quick moment to eat some delicious cake. Seriously, it may look like a cheeseball cake but Costco makes THE best cakes ever. Don't hate...

Sometimes Bff Jil and I take a picture, and sometimes that picture is our 'signature pose'. If you look at every picture of me and Jily it looks just like this one. Faces smashed together and booty's out...we also seem to be wastey faced in a lot of the pictures we have together...

Sometimes my mother's friends attack me when I am taking a nap (aka passed out) in the chaise lounge. Yes, they are crazy. Yes, I grew up with these two around me. Yes, I will need years of therapy because of Julie and Lisa...

Sometimes Jon-than and Bastina hang out and just witness all the crazy that is going on around them (okay I am not going to lie...Bastina joined in on one or two of the rounds of tequila shots)...

Sometimes I feel as though I have to break down a picture for you all. What exactly was going on in this photograph? Well there is a word Bff Jil hates. I mean she screams when she hears it and I am 99.9% certain that it makes her ears bleed as well. What word? Well I like to keep this here blog PG-13...let's just say it starts with a 'p' and is a sicknast word for female genitalia (are y'all picking up what I am putting down?) Everyone decided to start using said 'p' word just to drive Jil crazy...including her dad and her mom...which is who Bff Jil is yelling at in this picture. As for what I am doing in above photo, well I am minding my own bidness drunk texting in the background...

Sometimes I am ridiculous and do dumb things. Sometimes I am responsible and slightly uptight. Sometimes I make my mother proud by getting wasted and then passing out on a lawn chair at my graduation party...in front of all of her friends. Sometimes I get a SUPER bad hangover that lasts for THREE days. Yep. THREE whole freaking days. Sometimes I know I am never drinking again...

So there you all have it. I am a college graduate. I am done with school for the next year. I am a real life grown up now. No more passing out on lawn chairs for this gal. It is time for me to pull on my big girl panties and face the real world. Wish me luck...

the super fabulous road trip of pure awesomeness {1}...

Okay...I promise to quit being a blog slacker. I know I said that two posts ago...but then I got distracted and have been missing in action for a bit. What was my distraction you ask? Well, if you follow me on Twitter you will already know that Bff Jil and I took an epic road trip adventure. I documented our exploits for all of my twitbffs to enjoy.

I have a picture explosion coming soon...but in the mean time I have a game I want to play. This game is SO not for the easily offended or faint of heart. It is a game Bff Jil and I played...for about five hours on our drive to Port Angeles. The road to Port Angeles is two lanes, and with a high speed limit of like 50 MPH. It was ridiculous. We were losing our ever loving minds. I was looking around at the scenery and I noticed a street name, it was called 'Skokomish'. I burst into a giggle fit while trying to pronounce this name. Bff Jil and I had to pull over because we were laughing so darn hard (yes you DID have to be there to appreciate this). Then we both decided to take note of some of the street names on our little journey. We died. We laughed till our sides were about to explode, and then I started keeping a list of some of the names. We then decided to create our own mad libs with the names.

What names were so hilarious? Good question! I am sharing the list with you. I want you ALL to come up with your own little mad lib with these names...whoever comes up with the dirtiest one...wins a prize...well you will win my utmost respect actually. Ready? Here are the street names:

-Tillhicum
-Smackman
-Duckabush
-Skokomish
-Wild Wood
-Keep Trying
-La push
-Fill Her
-Happy Valley
-Hooker
-Kitchendick
-Straight
-Beaver
-Jimmy Come Lately
-Mc Hard Rock
-Flaming Geyser

So, the point of the game is to use these and create a hilarious/dirty little tale. For example, one Bff Jil came up with: "He is going to La Push that Hooker Tillhicum." Get it? Got it? Good. I normally keep my blog totally PG-13...but sorry I am apparently a 12 year old boy and this is TOO good to not share with you all. Alright, blog pals, do me proud (twss *ahem*)!

it's twins...

I have an announcement for you all. It's twins! In late August I will be the proud mother of two bouncing little new additions! I am beyond excited and cannot wait to buy new clothes for them, and yes there is the whole ouch pain part...but I can survive that...I think. So I am taking name suggestions. I have been thinking Captain and Tenille, Peaches and Herb, Dolce and Gabbana...still not sure.
What I am sure of? That my mom is the best mother on the planet and is gifting me with twins of my very own, all because I graduated from college. Oh. Are you confused now? Yeah I am not pregnant. No babies will be had. By 'twins' I am referring to the new boobage I will be adding to the bod come late August.

Why am I sharing this with all of you? Well, I wasn't planning on it. I know some will try to talk me out of it, tell me I don't need surgery to feel better about myself, but my mind is made up. I hate my small rack, I honestly feel like doing this will up my confidence and I am completely at peace with the decision. However, as always honesty is the best policy on this blog so you can share your opinions in the comment section. Oh, and before anyone chimes in, I am SO not getting like freak show Heidi Montag boobs. They will be normal sized and in proportion with my body frame.

Here is my goal. I decided that since I want to do this to up my confidence a bit, that I am going to get healthy as well! Plastic surgery is an easy way out. So, while I am getting ready for the twins to arrive I have a goal to exercise my booty off and watch what I eat, the main goal of course is to lose some poundage but also to get healthy!

Wish me luck! Leave any name suggestions in the comment section! And even if you are TOTALLY judging me right now, just love me through it.

the bitch is back...

Yep. You read that correctly. I am back in blogging action. Well okay this post is technically kind of half-assed blogging...but full ass blogging will commence tomorrow. Pinky promise!

I have been busy as all get out, hence my short little blog hiatus. Mission College Graduate has now been completed. I finished up last Thursday, graduated Saturday morning, had a graduation party Saturday afternoon/evening and have been recovering from that since Sunday.

Plus, I have just been in a funk. Maybe I was just overwhelmed with school and my entire life changing with one little piece of paper. Maybe I was just pms-ing for like three months straight. Maybe I was just burned out on blogging. All I know is that I missed my blog AND I missed all of you. So, I shall return with a real post tomorrow. Until then lovey dolls...
