little dates to a cute city.

I went on a little date with some friends this weekend. it was nice to get out of the house because of how sick i have been. we headed up to a cute little city and looked at all the art galleries and fun shops. the art was amazing as well as the company. oh yeah, and we both loves star wars. yay for dates to cute towns!

story of the smiling doll.

there was this one time when i was at my friends house and we were hanging out with his little sisters. we were down stairs watching Jonah Hex, when we heard lots and lots of giggling coming from upstairs.
meh.. didnt really think to much of it until...
we walked in his room and found a doll sitting on his bed.
smiling at us.
he grabbed the doll and we walked into her room. he grabbed her ipod headphones and started to wrap it around the dolls neck. he looked both ways looking for a place to hang it.
i opened up the closet door and we proceeded to wrap the headphones around the bar.
then it hung there.
smiling.
we shut the closet door.
the next morning i saw she posted something on facebook.
and i laughed out loud, even harder than we were in her room.
she is probably scarred for life.
probably because she is 12.
man, we have to much fun when we are together.

Saturday was LOADS of fun!
-went to cafe rio for lunch. laughed and told funny stories
-headed to the mall to do build a bear. Stud got a wolf, Morg got a rocknroll bear. he put a "do your own sound" thing in his, so we both went in the bathroom and i yelled "rock n roll dude!". we started laughing.
-we then went to Goodwill. I have never been to Goodwill and i heard from multiple people that it was BOMB. so we went. and tried on dresses. good times
-we headed back to the house and made homemade pizza. we just got whole wheat tortilla's, and put sauce, chicken and cheese on top. it was good because the boys could make their own and put however much of whatever they wanted on it.
-we then went to a little place filled with trampolines and foam pits!! we were there for over and hour, and had SO MUCH FUN! we did lots of flips and diving.
-after we headed to wal mart to pick up some 5 dollar shoes. we then got home and colored away. it was cheap and it let them color what they wanted on their shoes.
-i love these boys. they were so good for me, and we had lots of fun! we had a lot of good talks about life, and girls and toys. even though they are not very old, these boys are amazing. not only that Morg always opened my door. see? i love them.
Sunday everyone came back from their trip and we just hung out at the house. i went on motorcycle ride, and loved it! have i ever mentioned how much i love motorcycles? oh yeah. it was amazing. the weather was awesome too.
Monday, we all woke up sick! my flight actually had to be delayed because of how sick everyone was. i looked and felt like a zombie at the airport, and i just wanted to be in a bed. too bad that sickness lasted all week.

rock on.

 I went to a concert the other night and it was BEYOND awesome. For Today and my buddies I Capture Castle , along with a couple other bands played at the show.  After my friends played there was a band that went wild. I had SNIN and bubba protect me from the moshers, but what happened next couldn't be stopped. we were right in the front by the stage when i notice their guitar player was running on the stage and coming at us. he then jumped into the air, out into the crowd. i looked up and saw feet coming at me, when BOOM! foot on the face. that just happened. it was one of the slow motion moments i swear. luckily there was no major damage. just a couple bumps and bruises.
SNIN and i decided it would be funny to pinch the moshers as they were pushing into us. it was funny until SNIN pinched a Straight Edge kid, and he punched the kid next to me because he thought it was the kid that pinched him. HA!!
oh man, that show was AWESOME.
i want to do it again.
oh and ps. one of the bands mom came out to support them. cute huh?
i want to be that kind of mom.

back in the day.

let's play where's waldo for a second. Only instead of waldo, lets find ash.
i shouldn't be that hard to find considering i'm the only sunburned one.
that was probably the WORST sunburn i have ever received in my life so far, and i have had my fair share of sunburns. blast you red hair and irish skin. it was fun to see these old pictures from high school. i love these girls. i am also jealous of their skin.
if you don't have fair skin, want to trade?

new years eve & collegetown adventure.

New Years Eve was wonderful. I went to Kirst's house and we ate lots of yummy food and played fun games. I mean come one how can you not love hot wings, Just Dance 2, and rock band? It was so great to play with her family and our friends. I love them. As we rang in the new year a couple thoughts came to my mind. First,"man, this year has been great but im so glad it's over." Second, "i'm so excited for this new year, and new adventures coming my way." Third, "i want to drive to college town to see my friends right now(at one in the morning)."
So guess what I did?
I didn't drive to collegetown at one in the morning, but i did drive down a couple hours later.
can I just tell you how much I love my friends down there? I can't get enough of them. I miss them every day. We went to Wingers, then went back and watched Easy A. Which by the way, that movie is great. A little on the..scandalous side but none the less hilarious.  We then went to our friends game shop and dinked around. It was great, and we laughed A LOT. Let's just say there was a lot of laughing, jokes, wrestling, and bruises. aka that big nasty bite on Mitch's arm. ha!
This weekend was lovely. Now it's back to work, paperwork, working out, and no treats.

hope every one had a lovely weekend as well.
hello 2011.

a duck and the bartender.

a duck walks into a bar- he asks the bartender "hey got any grapes?"

the bartender confused answers "no"

the duck says "ok" and walks away
the next day the duck comes back "hey got any grapes?"
bartender says "no"
day after day the duck walks in and asks the same thing.
Every day the bartender says no
finally the bartender says "look ya stupid duck- if you come in here one more time and ask me that i'm gonna nail your feet to the bar"
the next day the duck walks in and says "hey- got any nails?"
"no?"
"ok.................got any grapes?"

 last night ashley and i went out for some fun. honestly i can't thank this girl enough. we went and enjoyed a drive through light show, then went back to decorate a gingerbread castle. great idea in theory, but it ended up falling apart. we were so sad about it. none the less it was such a great night, and i love this fabulous lady! please tell me we are not the only ones who had their gingerbread house fall apart..
