- Vancouver
- whatever else comes into the fold…
July IS a special month for many reasons.
The biggest reason is that is the month of my birth. Duh. The 20th is a magical day, which when I’m in charge, will become a National holiday. Until then, we can pretend. I have a great party planned for the Friday the 11th at McMenamins Edgefield. I’ve invited about 25 of my closest friends and the new guy I’m dating. But wait, oh that’s right, the OTHER reason July is so special…Carly-Ann is coming to visit! Hooray! Hooray!
Carly-Ann arrives on the 10th and is in town for the ENTIRE weekend. What kind of debauchery will we get into next?
It’s been a bit since Carly was here in Portland, (overstaying her welcome), I mean gracing me with her presence. The house is coming along. Actually, the yard is by far the biggest achievement yet…it’s looking so good. Much thanks to my current roommate.
I’ve haven’t been doing much, just taking care of this and that around the house every weekend. No time for Family Feud, Uncrustables or Wine Festivals. I knew there would be a lot of work with a new house and I am very happy to have taken this major step. I’ll have photos along soon…as soon as Portland gets an actual sunny day.
God Speed.

Not usually how Mexicans say it….but nonetheless I am off to sunny, insatiable Cancun for a week long vacation. I know, I know..you must be thinking, “That sexy haired biatch! Who does she think she is flaunting her vacation like that?” Well, I’ll tell ya….hope your miserable weather, wherever you are, doesn’t sink you down into a deep depression.
You must also be wondering, “Why Cancun? Why not Paris?” Well, I’ll tell ya….my dear friend Erika didn’t want to get married in Paris. She wanted tropical and sunny, alas Cancun. I’ll be staying at the RIU Palace Las Americas. Sounds fancy, huh? Well, I’ll tell ya….it is. Not to make you any more jealous, the RIU is an all-inclusive resort (free liquor 24-7 baby!) which promises not to disappoint. I will be the real judge of that.
Anyhow, I’m leaving in the morning..try not to miss me whilst I am away frolicking on the sandy, sun-soaked beaches of Cancun getting serviced by cabana boys. Until we meet again, enjoy your rain.
*Normally I don’t like to put scantily clad photos of myself on the Internet (I’m on the right), but I thought, since you all are so sad about being stuck in your town I’d show you how much fun I had on my last trip to Mexico. Toodaloo!
As Carly has kindly alluded…I have been having some fabulous hair days of late. So fabulous it prompted random strangers to wave at me from the bus stop and old men to nearly assault me through my car window. It’s good shit.
It comes in this nice purple, sleek tube aptly titled “being gutsy”. It makes my hair shine and even made a friend of mine ask if I had just gotten my hair done. Carly and I had an “inside joke” laugh about that comment because of the success I’d been having so far.
To use:
-
Wash hair.
-
Towel dry.
-
Squeeze a nickel (for my International readers, find a coin) sized amount into palm.
-
Rub through hands and apply all over hair.
-
Partner with an amplifier mist or a small amount of mousse for extra volume.
-
Blow dry.
-
Style.
And wah-la…there you have it.
Hot stuff.
Step 1: Buy a new house.
Step 2: Let your brother-in-law leave town on vacation.
Step 3: Have random house projects.
Step 4: Fuck it. I can get this done myself.
Step 5: Caulk* window in shower AND replace thermostat.
Step 6: Feel a fine sense of accomplishment on how much ass I kicked.
*Please note: Caulk is pronounced (cah-k). Yes, that’s right. COCK. I said it.
