Bwahahaha

So I'm on my precious little computer pretty frequently and every now and than she starts purring like a baby kitten sipping on some milk, I know it sounds nice but I don't think it's good for her.

So I asked around for opinions on what I should do for her and the quickest, cheapest recommendation I got was to go get some duster.

Here's what happened..........
(How the heck do I post videos instead of links??? Bueller, Bueller??)

Now everyone knows I laugh at everything.. really everything. Even when it's not funny I laugh.  I think this video is just about the funniest thing that I have seen all damn day, maybe all week..

Enjoi :) Bwahahahahaha

Beating a dead horse

I just saw a commercial for Lost season 6 DVD explaining how Lost is not over and you can get further into Lost.....

Hmmmmmm...

I laughed really hard thinking about how this show has gotten so out of control with all of the chain of events and now you can actually go further?? How much further can you go? You are about as far out as you can get John Locke! Quit it!

If there is one thing I take very seriously (there really aren't that many things that I ever take seriously) it's my television shows and Lost was a show that I took more seriously than animal cruelty.  I loved this show like my brother until about the 4th season when shit started to get weirrrrrrd, I mean it was always weird but it just got to be too much for imagination. But I stuck with it and followed it through until the end and was sad when it ended but was glad it ended to put it out of it's misery. Does that even make sense? 

So there are other shows that I feel everyone should watch, they are listed in order from absolutely fantastic to regular fantastic, please take notes so we can discuss later:

• Californication   
• East Bound and Down
• Nip/Tuck
• Grey's Anatomy
• Lost
• Bad Girl's Club
• Sex in the City
• Boston Med
• 20/20
• I Survived
• Intervention
• Dexter
• 16 and Pregnant
• Chelsea Lately

There are more but these are the one's that are imperative to my well being.

(Told you I look like Dog The Bounty Hunter/Jack Sparrow)

 If you haven't seen Californication or East Bound and Down, do yourself a favor and check yourself into this century first and foremost and than go watch em Betch! You don't have to send me any thank you cards don't you worry. 

Here's a little clip to get your booty moving to netflix.com or wherevs you choose to view these masterpiece theaters.

Another exciting thing.. I have given up the booze for a month. Yep, I'm becoming alcohol abstinent for 30 days just like the show. I'm sure you're thinking, "this girl must be a total booze bag/alcoholic," ewwww I'm not!! I was inspired and feel this is a key ingredient in being a studious student. I believe that my brain function will be running like a well oiled lawnmower in a mere few weeks.

My brain working as a lawnmower

New subject. I tend to bounce around from gym to gym every now and than.. just to switch things up.. I guess I'm a gym slut?? Anyhoo, I got a membership to the Spot Gym aka the foot scented sauna, I have coined this name due to fact that; it's a sauna and smells like feet. I have also come to realize that I think I hate about 88.765% of the people in there (not the girls) not to mention the music is absolutely horrific!! I went tonight to try to work out a minor tweek in my left shoulder and was annoyed when I walked in to the douche bag at the counter drinking a beer, Sam Adam's no less, in my face and giving me an attitude about not bringing in a "voided check for EFT monthly payment," who uses checks anymore these days bra and aren't you at work dood?? And than I was forced to leave after 30 minutes of dub-step!! AAAARGGGGGGGGGGG!!

Which brings me to my closing thought.. Who, What, How, When, Where THE HELL did this come from and whyyyyyyyy would you ever want to listen to this CRAP! Yes, that is what the whomp whomp whomp sound is.. total crappola! I almost wanted to stab myself in the eardrum and Van Gogh (the artist not the vodka) myself after listening to it for 3 minutes. What a terrible way to end a work out ugh!

For everyone that feels my pain please join this group to support the cause and save our youth:

Thank you and good night!

It's a small world after all..

The saying; "it's a small world" is more than true.. especially living in a town with people that are flocking in from the east coast by the minute. It's strange to think that from living on the east coast for most of my life I have met more people from the east coast, or know people that I know from the east coast, in Boulder.

For example or by "coincidence," I was speaking of my old roomie from my ECSU days tonight and about how much fun we had. We would laugh so loud our neighbors would bang on the walls to shush us, jam out to the super bassy hip-hop, Grateful Dead, or 80's (especially Michael Jackson) music at 3a.m so loud and wake up the R.A., drink $2 forties and Franzia out of the bag, dress up in one piece snowsuits to go eat lunch, pee out of our third story window when we were too tired to walk to the bathroom, terrorize our third roommate, and make fun of sorority girls to their faces, dress up in eighties attire and drive around campus with Madonna blaring loud enough to piss Jesus off, steal bologna from the cafeteria and than put it on people's cars, and just how absolutely amazing she was. We just had more fun than most people do in a life time and she will always be someone that will hold a very special place in my heart.

The reason I brought her up was because it has almost been four years since she passed, bless you Val and rest in peace my love, miss you and think of you always!

6.28.1984 - 9.24.2006

So I'm out for a friends birthday and end up meeting his friend from Connecticut, what a coincidence, and he's from Redding, CT, what a coincidence. So I go for it and ask him if he knew my girl Val? Sure enough he did.. very strange. Just made me think that there must be some kind of organism out there that places people in certain situations at certain times. Everything happens for a reason. And as Val would say "Karma's a bitch, don't fuck wit her."

So here's one of the many songs that Val and I would jammmm out to and fall down laughing so hard we would start crying.. xoxo

I don't know how to get the video's to play on the blog so you'll have to go to the link.. it's just as bueno

climbing with chicas

So yesterday was my last official girls climbing day in the magical land of Rocky Mountain National Park with all my lady friends. This has been something that I have been participating in for almost three years now: climbing one day during the week with all girls, or mostly girls.  It's nice to have a guy around to help spot us on scary stuff I guess :) and I'm pretty sure they like to pretend they have boobs too so it just works out for all of us.

So on this one special weekday, usually Tuesdays, a group of lassies all hike up to chaos canyon and climb, eat cookies, chat about stuff we like and things we hate, make up gang names for ourselves, and have fun, it's nothing less than radical.

When the sun starts to go down we usually finish up the day at a friends house with some cheese, bbq, and vino of course! Best day everrrrr.

This has been something that has really helped me excel in climbing.. I'm pretty much at the head of the inch worm... if you don't know, you don't want to trust me.

When I first started climbing in 2004 it was mainly because my boyfriend is a bad ass rock climber (www.phillipschaal.blogspot.com) and made it look so easy and so fun. Well I had a pretty tough time trying to make it seem easy and fun, its super hard and takes a lot of dedication and tenacity to be an "average" climber. I didn't really know any girls that climbed so I climbed with Phil and his friends that could fly up V10's while brushing their teeth..

So after booking my first climbing trip to Europe and not having a clue about what bouldering really was and making myself lactose intolerant from eating nothing but unprocessed cheese for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  I became discouraged, intimated and thought I should just stick to shopping, and eating Lactaid, but than... after a few more climbing trips Phil and I decided to move to ColoRADo.

I was scared.. everyone in Colorado is a climber and everyone is damn good at it... keep in mind I didn't know a soul and could barely pull my ass up a V1..  But what I didn't expect was to become friends with girls that were bad ass climbers that were super nice and basically inspired me to try harder. So that's why Tuesday are awesome for me and I'm sad that the season of Tuesday climbing, chicas, cheese, and wine has come to end.




But there's always Wednesdays!!

I still have a bit more time to try to few things that I'd like to finish up.. yippy, dippy, yee haw!

A big thanks to Melissa Strong for the pictures.. xo

something to write home about

ummm... is there anything to ever really write home about?? I mean can you seriously not call people anymore and tell them about cool, exciting shit that you have done or are doing? Technology is an amazing little tool my friends.. and honestly I don't know if there is one single thing that I would "write home" about... unless I was in a third world country sending a postcard because I couldn't afford or find a phone/computer.. or it was a letter begging my parents to send money to get me out of captivity.

The reason that I bring this discussion to surface is because I had this conversation this evening among friends and we were seriously mind-boggle-fonged over what we could write to our parents/friends about that was so sick nasty gnar-gnar that we couldn't wait to put it on paper and tell them allll about it.. hmmmm?? Unless you found hard factual evidence that Bigfoot exists than think really, really hard about this one ............ still thinkin???
Dear Mom,

The other side of that coin is that my man is in Australia at the moment and I was so saddened to think that I would have to wait a whole month to hear his sweet, sweet voice and see his spectacular blue eyes again.. BUT wait for it... SKYPE, yes, Skype.. Thank the high heavens for Skype and blue eyes.

Skype is a beautiful invention that allows me to do just the things that I believed were deemed mission impossible.. now I feel like I can see my precious little love almost anytime he is around an internet connection, I love the skyper gods!

Also, I tend to think of myself as someone that likes "fun, trendy" thingys hahaha.... so my friend and I decided to be "fun and trendy" at the same time. We went to Zing Salon in Boulder and got feathers in our hair, sooooo cool! We were super excited about it.. not expensive and looks hawt right??

Well, yes, until you wake up in your bed and your feather extensions are all over the place looking like a parakeet exploded on your pillow!

So I had to go back to the salon and get my hair did again and now it's much better, pfeww!  But sometimes I catch myself looking like Dog the bounty hunter or Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean leading the Black Pearl somewhere dangerous..

 

I don't know I guess they only last three months and Jack is still a pretty good looking pirate.

Another topic that I would like to shed some light upon is college text book prices.. very lame I know.
But I went to the college bookstore today, because I am a college student once again, and I almost cried to think about spending a whopping $400 for two fucking text books!! I mean really?? In this economy? I remember when I was in college and text books only cost $100 and I had to swim to class through class 5 rapids WTF!

Sooooo me being the economically saavy person that I am (aka I'm very poor) I sniffed around on the internets and found this fantastic little gem www.chegg.com

So here's the dizzle.. you rent the books for the entire semester for a fraction of the price and send them back with free shipping (I mean who the heck wants to keep a text book anyway?) I saved a recronkulous amount of cash doing it.. so if you are, or are going to be, a student soon and are as pressed for cash as I am than DO THIS YO.

My final note of the day is.. if you haven't seen this show than put your fake eyelashes on and start. It will make you feel smart, classy, and extra sassy! And no it's not the Jersey Shore kids.

Hi

So this is my blog. I thought since everyone excluding my grandparents have one I should get with the times and get one.... Let's get one Betch!

I'm originally from Connecticut but have been living in Boulder, Colorado for the past three years.
I love traveling, climbing, yoga, surfing, 80's music and movies, sitting on beautiful beaches, reading inspiring books, eating delicious food, drinking wine and beer too, I think that's enough for right now:)

I graduated from college in 2006 but haven't done a thing with my marketing degree because it's impossible to get a job these days so as of last week I officially became a student again.. scary. I'm hoping one day I'll have an amazing job, be able to make some casheesh, and have plenty of time off to travel around the globe and do what I do.

In the mean time I'll continue serving people with gluten/dairy/dust/sun/food allergies and turning liquor bottles upside down and pouring the liquid into glasses for smart and polite college kids (wink face.)
So this blog was designed to tell everyone in the world what I'm doing allllll the time, how exciting!!
This is gonna be soo fun!

I would also like to share my favorite song/music video with you folks.. You're Welcome and Enjoy:
