three chubs:
small heads,
large bottoms.
Mr. Frosty // Mr. Fats // little Miss Sweets

staring out,

watching us leave.

merryChristmasEve, loves.

these two (in the middle & right) have been

the greatest gifts of the year.

**

I'm thinking about last year's ChristmasEve,

and the sentiments I had.

Although this year's Christmas hasn't been as calming and serene and enjoyable as last year's,

I hold on to last year's post with the hope that the *dream scene* I wrote about will come true.

**

tonight the *boyf* and I go to his family's annual ChristmasEve party in Brooklyn,

for the fifth time since we've been together.

**

lobstah.

lechon.

secret santas.

midnight gift exchange.

filipinos galore.

**

the only thing missing will be these craze-o's:

i kinda hope we see some snowflakes tonight, too.

...but not the *sticking* kind.

'kay. have a blessed one.

two dresses, a cardigan, pics featuring accessories, **THEN** one girl, three boys, rice*&*beans, & talk of a much needed girls' night

i did enough damage

in the past two days:

*date*night*dress*~*army*green*airport*dress*~*heart cardigan*

*

*funky*chunky*necklace*
*hanging*up*for*my*eyes*to*see*
*
*
*$10*sandal* & *$5*ring*
ain't no thang
*
*
after
my bitt & my
shopping day #2
yesterday,
i
met up
with
the boyf
& friends
for dinner:
...and drank Colombian beer & ate Colombian food.
*
*
it was so incredibly on-point, and new for me, and delicious, and goooood.
*
*
Ken & Damian:
Ken suggested the place. So glad he did.
*
*
see why i
was
so glad he did:oh lord.
daaaaaaammmnnn!!
!aye dios mio!
*
*
what fun, ya'll.
really and truly.
the food was bomb,
the beer was plentiful and satisfying,
and
i love being one of the boys.
we talked about everything
from Damian's contracting gig,
to farts,
to the slaughtering of cows,
to my boyfriend's digestive issues,
to poop in the shape of a NIKE check
[don't get me started on that last one],
to the waitresses in white pants,
well...
...i listened while Ken & Damian ogled,
but anyway...
...boys will be boys...
and
i love it all, really.
*
*
[pause]
*
*
i am, however, [tee hee hee]
so uberly excited
for dinner out again tonight,
but
this
time,
it's
to
a Spanish restaurant
and
it's
with my homegirl
and
some of her girls:

only. us. girls.

how flippin' refreshing.

Happy THURSday, reader so dear to mi corazon.

my friend Jamina bought a blow-up pirate-ship pool

and

it became the little colorful-ball-filled play pen!
genius.

the boyf's mom went to New Hampshire last week,

and brought me back a present:

hmmmmm...those is some wise words.

i can't wait to have my own classroom with it's own door on which to hang this on.

i even had a dream i did last night...oh, economy. foo to you. foo.

hope your weekend was just as spun [spectacular+fun]

happy MONNNNNND.

7/4 *2010* - LGRaB Summer Games - 4th entry (totally!) - decorate yo' bike

well,

*hey hey*

ya'll!

*

hope your *fourth* was fab!

mine was.

i got a little post HERE today to show you some fun snaps i got:

*

these were the cupcakes my sister did a great job on.
they tasted yum.

now...
about
the LGRaB Summer Games:
[I'm part of them.]
*
i successfully completed Part I of them by
saying 'hi' to a cyclist
[via this post]
&
going on a group ride with family & friends
[via this post]
*
*
*
Part II proved more challenging being that I subbed
5 days a week in June &
had a 4-night a week June class whose workload murdered me
[i don't know how i managed an A+]
*
i pulled through *last minute* by
purchasing and reading a book about cycling
[via this post]
however...
...i missed the end of Part II deadline
for the Part II prizes,
&
posted a completed second challenge of
test riding a different type of bike than you normally ride
[via this post]
for Part II *late*
*
problem:
i was unsatisfied with the content of this post since
the bike i test-rode was not an actual bike,
but
a totally awesome & uber-enjoyable moped.
[did i lose anyone yet?]
*
sooooooooo...
to make up for that unsatisfying second entry
for Part II of the LGRaB Summer Games,
I have posted HERE
a second second entry that in fact DOES
qualify as fair-game content for the Games.
[can you tell my type-A personality gets me a little crazy?]
*
Is it a week late?
yes.
...but, does is appropriately apply?
oh, yeah.
*
i decorated my bike:
in *4th-o-July* patriotic garland
...and *R*W*&*B*balloons*:::
how fun, right?

the ribbon, from afar,
looked like it had white stars on it,

but,

in fact,

it was snowflakes...

*

...all good.

**

**

i had my sister take

some pics:

while i was waiting for

*the boyf*

to get a move on,

i rode around my neighborhood for about ten minutes,

*4th-o-July*

spirit

floatin' behind my bike

and all:

here's a quick clip, thanks to Bitt:

it may be a late entry, but it was a worthwhile activity

*

*decorating my bike proved delightful*

[...and now I can fully dive into Part III of the Games, and explore some new territory.]

Hee hee hee har har har!

after my lovely, relaxin' *fourth* morn,

we headed to the boyf's place, where his mom filled our

early-afternoon bellies with chicken adobo & white rice & superlyduperlysweet mangos

***

then, we layed down...

...at 1:31 pm...

...and passed the f**k out.

***

***

only to wake up three-hours later,

& head off to our friends' BBQ.

***

***

awesomeness x 10.

Happy Monday.
