its snowinggggggg

i woke up to snow on the ground this morning!!!! this picture really doesn't display how pretty it is in the city when it snows, but you get the idea. i was so freakin' excited that it took me 30 minutes to walk to work. it takes a long time when you're not a very stable walker under normal weather conditions--especially snow, and i had to call my mom and my nana to let them know and to squeallll my excitement to the central time zone, of course. snowwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!

sshhh

ssshhh...dixie's watching the dog whisperer on tv.

happy new year!!!!!

happy new year!! love, fake chubbs and fake dixie. 

weather girllll

how precious is this older couple? she's just chillin' and giving the weather out and all of the sudden marty cunningham proposes. how freakin' sweet. i love watching love. except for when it's disgusting pda and excessive pet name usage...then i'll vom. congrats weather girl and marty!

coffee? tea? anyone?

i just ordered this bomb.com single cup coffee maker as part of my christmas present. now i can invite the queen to my apt for a spot of tea. or maybe just regular people, like my friend seagren. making the mornings more fun, one cup at a time.

plank walking

tech just fired self-proclaimed pirate, mike leach. he's well known for his frequent strip club visits as well as being a punk 24/7. he gets 400gs for every year left on his contract. not too shabby. arrrgghhhh see yaaa mikey!

sucks to be a loser

 tlc d-bag jon gosselin had his apartment ransacked over the christmas weekend. apparently, the destroyer slashed all his furniture and tore up his clothes, including his beloved ed hardy wardrobe. all the articles i read said gosselin was saddened and distraught that someone would do this to him, but really he's looking at it all wrong. whomever went bananas on his apt actually did him a favor, i can't imagine his decor being any classier than his ed hardy wardrobe. he, of course, thinks it was his skank 20yearold ex gf hailey. i disagree, she clearly loves ed hardy too. i'm rooting for nene or nancy grace!!

oh snap!

my girl on da food network--barefoot contessa, aka ina garten, just shut down jennifer garner's request to appear on her show because she 'only puts her real friends' on the show. i wouldn't let some stranger celebrity on my show either, especially if they were super pretty and skinny like jgarner. boom. see ya elektra.

hkt in nyc for nye

  our kappa sis friend Halley is coming to the city for new year's eve and seags and i are so excited! this is the post she put up on her blog about the trip, complete with really, really attractive pictures of both of us. wooo halley!!

New York State of Mind!

Tomorrow I'm going to see my favorite people in New York! I'm so excited!!! Can't wait to bring in the New Year with them! I'm sad Megs won't be there!!!  It's like Alley with an H

dealbreakers

i love the frisky articles on cnn.com. today, there is an article about the 13 relationship doomers. here are some of my favorites:

6. TV in the bedroom: No matter who decides to buy the 60-inch plasma and install it directly across from where "the magic happens," TV in the bedroom is an instant mood killer, both sexually and mentally.

7. Having rugrats *no explantation needed. 

9. King-size beds: Even if you go to bed mad, something about a forced snuggle in a small bed is like an unspoken "you're forgiven" and allows everything bad between you to dissolve away. A king-size mattress lets the tension rest comfortably between you and a fight can go on for days.

10. Half-truths to girlfriends: "I always know a relationship is doomed when I start telling my friends only part of the story about a squabble with my man," says Kelly. "I need the release of the confession, but by not telling the whole truth, I'm leaving out the part that would make my friends scream 'He's not right for you!'"

*i'm really, really good at #10. haha. yikes.

dixie!!

i got to spend 8 days with my sweet dixie and i loved it! it made me really want to break the rules and bring her back to the city. i think she wanted to come too--she kept climbing into my suitcases and sleeping on my pillows while i packed. as you can see, she loves sweaters and clothes, so of course i dressed her up as rudolph for christmas. so precious!!

pugs

oh goodness. i can see my puggy dixie doing something crazy like this trick. she has her wack moments.

redneck law & order

once again, some of my favorite police reports filed in wise county over the past month:


700 block of W. Lamar St. - Three teenagers in a small white passenger car parked in front of a woman’s residence “and started singing a song in a very harassing manner.”


--probably Britney, lil'wayne, or hopefully hova.

400 block of CR 4591 – Two unknown suspects circled a home in a go kart and pelted the residence with paintballs.

200 block of Chisholm Hills Drive – Pigs escaped from their pen.

1800 block of FM 1810 - Family members were arguing about not wanting to continue working in the family business. One was threatened to be left out of the father’s will.

4200 block of U.S. 380 – A male went to a church and asked to use the telephone. He was asked to leave, at which point he denounced the church’s Christianity.

--that one isn't very Christian-like is it?

100 block of Marsh Salt Court – An intruder entered a vacant home and built a fire in the fireplace.

1900 block of CR 1560 – A man reported that someone left his mailbox open.

--maybe the mailman??

100 block of Lange Way – A father complained of a son who continually sneaks out of the house. A deputy advised him of his rights to discipline his child.

make that 5

my girl carrie underwood got engaged during christmas vacation. we're practically bff so i'll add her to our friend engagement list. her ring supposedly cost $150g's. i'm happy for her, especially since she's still a young 26 and her canadian fiance doesn't have a gross accent. congrats carrie!!

sucks to be jsimpson

jessica simpson used to be pretty good looking, but then she morphed into this:

no wonder tony romo dumped her, and proposed to this 5 months later:

meet candice crawford: romo's new fiance, dallas cowboys reporter, former miss mizzou, and most importantly nate's (chace crawford) real life seester.

go cowboys!!!!!

yikes

charlie sheen is: #1 an idiot, #2 a mean looking dude, and #3 chases after his wife with a knife.

i'm backkkk

and so is Sex and the City 2...woooo!!!

Happy Birthday Momma!!!

today is my momma's birthday. she is also dixie's foster mom, until i move into a new apt. this picture was taken the night she won teacher of the year--i happen to think she looks really pretty in it too. she's so full of great advice and wisdom that it took me 23 years to figure it out. i hope she had a great birthday today and we'll celebrate again on saturday when i come home for christmas! happy birthday madre!!! love, punky.

i love jte

i saw justin townes earle (steve earle's son) last night for a free, acoustic show in the east village. this is my favorite song, but omg--he's my new twangy obsession. check him out on youtube--he gives margaret heart attacks. and he's super cute in person.

pandemic

it seems as though there is an engagement pandemic. for my friends (and i) that are ringless, please don't buy out the animal shelter to become the respective cat/dog/guinea pig old maid. congrats to all the newly engaged friends! 4 and counting. woo weddings! (and hopefully open bars)

christmasssss

this is our courthouse in decatur all did up for christmas. woooo.

christmas with dixie!

 buddy the elf!

rudolph!

sweet dixie is ready for christmas!!

so sorry

as you know, i started a new job last week and since then my blogging has drastically decreased. of course,  i loved blogging during the work day instead of actually working, but that will no longer work at this new place. so basically, my blogging will continue to suck until i get a handle on my new work. sorry kiddies.

winner winner chicken dinner

michael, one of the brothers voltaggio, won top chef. he wasn't my favorite because he was such a jerk all the time, but at least he's wayyy better than last year's winner--hosea.

merry christmas

eater ny had a holiday card competition--food related, of course. it's hard to believe, but that handsome baby man didn't take the trophy. i would be one happy girl if he arrived in my mailbox, and i don't even like cheese.

grrrr

i'm officially wayyy beyond disappointed in tiger.

uhhuh no way no how

a manhattan couple recently purchased the smallest apartment available for sale, literally. it measures 10ft wide and as you can see, it's also tight on storage space. they say they don't cook so they use all their cabinets for clothing, and for hanging clothes, they put on their running gear and pick up their work clothes from various dry cleaner stores on the way to work!! what!! 175 sq ft is certainly not worth the $150k price tag. simply awful.

daily dixie

sweet dixie. don't worry about her eye, she's fine.

carrie

i love carrie underwood. my friend marge loves her even more. however, we are a little bit disappointed that her intimate hip skanky tattoo is a 4-leaf-clover, at least thats what we've decided on. bad choice gf.

boo hoo

what a cry baby. maybe his eye black should have read John 11:35 "Jesus wept."

going to the chapel...

megan got engaged!!! last night, we surprised her in connecticut after chris proposed, and the ring is so pretty and perfect! they were both soo happy--congrats megan and chris!!!

seven levels of the candy cane forest

chesapeake energy really went all out this year with the okc street decorations. i love the colorful trees--so spirited! i wonder if you end up at the lincoln tunnel when you pass through the forest?

its snowinggggggg!!!

it's finally snowing!!!!! i'm soooooo excited!

she eats!

geez. marisa miller has the most bangin' body everrrrrr. i'm so incredibly envious...even more so now that i know she actually eats.

poor kid

this little man is upset because his daddy is outside sacrificing pigs and goats and stuff for a muslim holiday to honor the way abraham sacrificed his son ismail to God. my daddy tried to pull this stunt when i was little by going after our sheep, ben & jerry. that shiz is traumatizing, poor little boy.

weird

this kid has 6 fingers as a result of a nuclear plant explosion in india years and years ago. clearly, the dirty gas is still everywhere and causing lots of weird defects. yikes.

meet liu wen

the first asian and newest victoria secret model. i'm sure i'm not the only one that thought of owen wilson in wedding crashers when i read the story..."it was my first asian!" congrats vickies.

sorry sister

mike's gf jen was kicked off top chef last night. now it's between 3 dudes. i'm rooting for the bearded ginger man to win, but i really can't lose--tom will never be kicked off. woooo.

what?

i'm so mad that i had to take this picture! now no one knows that that empty chair next to tbrady was actually my seat at the party.

*bahaha, just kidding! i don't know why these two dudes were hanging out at the same party, but how can i make this happen in my apt?? i'd replace bclinton with any of the bfs from the list, of course. duhhh.

so jealous

it snowed and iced and sleeted all night on monday night at my casa in texas! today, in new york, it was an unseasonably warm 65 degrees--umm, excuse me? how am i supposed to have my christmas date when it's so freakin hot outside. rude el nino, just rude.

daily dixie

look who got a new sweater!! it kind of blends in with the chair and with her fur, but trust me, sweet dixie just loves running around in her new attire...so cute.

since it's officially christmas

the window display at macy's this year is centered around sending a letter to santa!! that's me writing my electronic letter to santa--then it goes through each phase of the postal system in the other windows. it's so precious!!

say it ain't so...

there are several reports/rumors/accusations out that reese + jake = breakup and tiger + car crash = affair with tranny club hostess. of course, i am the eternal optimist on almost everything relationship related and i am hoping that all these reports are false. don't let me down dudes.

i love the world...

i love the new discovery channel ad. it's so, me.

pandaaaaa

cute little panda dude.

i want these

i love lace, bows, and black. these shoes are screaming my name.

i died last night

i can't even fully express how freakin' amazing/awesome/bomb.com last night's dinner at tom:tuesday dinner was. we sat right in front of the kitchen, so i was priviledged enough to watch tom cook my dinner alll night long. i shook his hand at the end and even gave him an awkward wave goodbye. he's even better looking in person.

upper east side creeper

this is a real video. a homeless girl was living in one of my co-worker's friend's apt. she would climb down from the overhead crawl space and eat his food, among other things. they videotaped her and waited to catch her, she was eventually arrested. sooo freakin' creepy.

the end of the world

werk it gurl

looks like katie couric has been spending her free time at tenjune. that's definitely not a face a beginner makes, right poppa?
