Wendy's excuses have run their course.

While her house was hit with lightening over two weeks ago, she has yet to post a blog in ___ weeks. Lightening striking a house and frying the Internet is a valid reason not to post, and then not wanting to post at work, valid as well. However, we are not living in 1994 where a dial up connection and AOL is necessary to get stuff out on the web. This is 2009, over 15 years have passed since a screen name and a phone line were needed to get online. Now we don’t even have to have cords; you can go wireless! For those of us stuck in 1994 that means borrow some Internet from your neighbors, or park your car outside a Starbucks and power up the labtop. How about even spending a nice relaxing evening with your boyfriend while he cooks and you blog away? That sounds like a wonderful plan.

"Hey babe, lets cook dinner tonight…yea you do the cooking and I’ll drink the
wine and type away, remember my Internet is broken? Thanks hun!"

Wendy being the sly fox that she is could easily come up with some tricky scheme like that, and probably pull it off even better. Remember when we tried to Free Freddie? Well, this is a way easier scheme with guaranteed positive results. You not only get an awesome dinner cooked by your one and only but also some time and free Internet to post away. Ohhhh the possibilities. .
But that’s ok, I can take a hint…I’ll just keep updating about my life and remain in the dark about my dear friend Wendy’s life back in Texas. Sad day.

Tear.

Sin City Bound

Tomorrow after work I am departing for Sin City. Hopefully Sunday night I will have the energy to write about all the crazy things I do this weekend, but if not just use your imagination. Don't think too long and hard about it though, I'm not THAT crazy. But I am considering this trip as research for Erin's Bachelorette party in January that I am in the works of planning. So this weekend will be my "site visit". Erin, that means I will be scouting out all the hot new restaurants and clubs to insure an INSANELY good time in January. So get excited!

In turn I will be billing this trip back to all the bachelorettes that will be attending in January. So don't be alarmed at the small upcharge you will see on your bill. So thank you to all and get ready for a smashing good time!!!

Celeb City

Ok so I am re-posting my current celeb sightings. So from now on I will update this post and this list with all the hot new celebs I see. For those of you new to the whole blog thing if you click on the tag to the right that says 'Celeb Sightings' and it will bring you straight to this post. This means you won't have to scroll through the whole blog to find the updates. Heaven forbid you were interested in any other postings, especially those few and far between from Wendy. Wink Wink.

Hallow's Eve

I started brainstorming this week about what to be for Halloween. Last year's Sarah Palin will be hard to beat, but that costume was a one time thing.

(John McCain & Sarah Palin @ Vintage 2008)

So what to be this year? I don't do "sexy" (fill in the blank costumes) and like funny comedic costumes. So far I have come up with the following.

• Kelly Kapowski (as a Bayside cheerleader)



• Falcon (in a box)



• The Twitter Bird and run around tweeting all night (as in making the tweet bird noise...)

And last but not least, my personal forerunner...

• A Peep

Roxy thinks I won't be able to get into a bar dressed like this and would have to spend Halloween at Disney land if I choose to go as a Peep. I would have to disagree, but don't think I will be a head turner...I guess we will just have to see. My vision is a bit edgier...picture some fishnet tights, x the work out pants and a higher heeled shoe as opposed to the classic black pump. I see potential and seeing as how I had a Peeps compartment in my car for 6 years, this costume as very fitting! Let me know what y'all think! I am open to suggestions.

Some more ideas:

When life gives you lemons...

Make lemonade, or a vodka...right? Well what happens when life gives you all the ingredients you need to make cookies except your trusty mixer? You use a bowl. When you don't have a bowl? You use Tupperware you bought at target? Or at least that's what I did.

Last night I officially christened my apartment kitchen with its first batch of home made chocolate chip cookies. The only problem is life without a mixer has been a set back. On Saturday I purchased some cupcake mix, and did not realize I did not have my trusty mixer to make them with. Then last night I purchased cookie ingredients, again forgetting about my missing mixer and came home very excited only to realize again, no mixer. And beyond that no mixing bowl. That is a pretty sad site for a baker such as myself. But being the resourceful girl that I am I made do with the Tupperware kit I had bought at Target. How I managed to get out of that store with Tupperware and no mixer or mixing bowl is an anomaly. In my last abode I not only had one Kitchen - Aid mixer, but two. I also had at least three sets of mixing bowls. Something is array here.

While life with a bike is amazing...life without a mixer, for me at least, is a set-back.
