I'm On a boat and Off the market

Sailing is apparently a sport. A sport where you are actually sore from sitting and jumping off the boat, holding on for dear life, cuts, bruise, scratches, and of course slamming down cocktails. I felt like I had the work out of a life time after the first day of sailing, and I did actually sail the damn boat!! I don't really remember all of the cruise but I know it certainly is no easy task, there are ropes and devices, and you have to really pay attention to everything.. there really isn't dull or boring moment when the wind is blowing. After an absolutely amazing, fantastic, fun, debaucherous weekend at Lake McConaughy I thought it would be in my best interest to get my lazy derrière back into nature and go on a hike. 

So as usual I headed South to Chataqua park where I normally do a 4-7 mile loop depending on the weather and of course my mental/physical state on that day. My condition was tired but I mustered up the mental strength to drive there and get out my car. I trudged along and after about mile 2 I looked up and noticed I was in a stare off with a brown bear about 15 feet away from me. I froze and pretended to be dead standing up. One thing to know about me is that I am terrified of wild life, you never know what they are going to do and they are usually always animals that can probably kill you, for example Im really scared of horses.

After about 39.6 seconds the little bear run off but I had a creeping suspicion that the mama bear was somewhere close so I turned right around and gingerly/feverishly, looking back every few seconds to make sure I wasn't going to be pummeled to my death by the mama bear, went back to my car. The other little tid bit is that for some crazy, wild, insane reason I thought that bears were attracted to women while OTR.. Ill you figure that one out if you don't know what it means. So I decided to do a little research:

Welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll...........................

I'm officially un-single/off the market once again my friends!

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd.... I'm pretty happy about it!

After spending many hours concocting exciting cocktails, motorcycling into the sunset, pooling, sailing, hiking, cliff diving, and bopping around the bubble it became inevitable that we were in fact a couple, dating, together, boyfren & girlfren. He's awesome and hot and amazing and we have so so so so much fun together. Yay!

See ya when I get back from the windy city of angel dust xx

Stopping to breathe again

The past few months have been fantastic!! I've been really enjoying the shit out of my life.  I've been loving every minute of the summer and taking in lots of sunshine through my new hobby known as "pooling." I have manifested a local pool about 5 blocks away from my house. My new/old friend gave me the key to his pool one day and of course I managed not only to lock myself out but also IN the pool area that is completely fenced in with a key lock to get in and out of the pool.  Due to the fact that I some how managed to lose the key (so not like me ;) I was left to wait within the confines of the pool for 2 hours waiting for someone to come to my rescue. I asked other people to help me escape with their key without success while I continued to "pool," I guess it could have been worse and with my climbing skills I'm sure I could have mustered up the strength to climb my way out of their but... I didn't.

I have also come to the realization that I need to get out and start traveling again so I'm going to Nebraska! Ha! This is not a lie.

I have heard of this far away land only once before.. it's is apparently a beautiful place known as Lake McConnaughy.

It is infested with redneck hillbillys and boats and eagle/American flag tee-shirts and fun exciting white sandy beach front. I'm going with a friend that has a great little sailboat for a long weekend to mingle with the local folk and get out of town and drink beer out of coozies (also my new fav thang.)

The following weekend I am jet setting out to the city of angels. La La BAM! The land of the beautiful. I'm FINALLY going to meet my most favoritest dj, Mr. Lee Foss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's doing a little gig at the swankster Standard Hotel http://www.standardhotels.com/hollywood?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=the+standard+sunset&utm_campaign=ABZ03_HW_Brand&gclid=CKb3ro_WxrECFeUBQAodCWMA9Qand I cant wait to listen to some pretty, pretty amazing djs at some fun parties while I'm there and see the ocean again. Ya Braski!

So my happiness levels have been at an all time sky-rocketed high.. like maybe happier than I've been in a really long time.. Annnnnnd I was just gifted these puppies to go along with my new pooling hobby and nearly freaked out and shat a unicorn!!!!!!!! Basically I'm going to be the most fly person at the pool from this day until forever with my new Lionel Coozies!

And of course to end all of this fun. I just recently found out that my brother who has been through many bumps in the road through his 26 years is about to start a radiation treatment to help prevent the growth of a brain tumor that he was diagnosed with several years ago. His doctors were not expecting the growth to happen as quickly as it has so we are going to try to slow the process and get this thing kicked to curb. FUCK YOU BRAIN TUMOR!! Sending all my loving energy through the breezes to my little bra! xoxox
