New Favorite Commercials

During my tv marathons I have seen tons of new commercials which in a weird kind of way I enjoy more than the shows. TBS is currently airing my new favorite ad campaign and yes, it's for beef jerky which makes it even better! For those who haven't seen these commercials they are titled Messin' With Sasquatch and they are amazing!

This was the first one I saw The Pick Up I died laughing and I think it's because this is exactly what Barrett use to do to me every morning on the way to school.

Then I saw this one Watch Face which wasn't nearly as funny until the guy got hit in the face with the fish.

After seeing these two I went online to enjoy the entire collection of these great ads including this unaired commercial which is simply amazing! I hope you guys enjoy them just as much as I did!

Home Alone

For those of you who don't know I've been home alone since Thursday. At first when I heard the the news that my parents where off to Michigan to go gallivanting about with the DeVos' I was thrilled! I had grand ideas of cocktails with Roberta and movie nights with Jeremy and Larry and maybe a few runs to Starbucks with Sam. But instead everyone has left me alone on the same weekend. Roberta is off at some wedding and refuses to take me because she doesn't want her family to think she's a lesbian. Jeremy and Larry are off in Midland, Texas having drinks at the racquet club and avoiding the trash that has recently started showing up at the country club, according to Jeremy. However Sam has stuck by my side through this lonely time. We've been having tea and watching movies but now again I have been left, she's off to Houston for some shopping thing.

All complaining aside the weekend has been very relaxing. I think I've had a total of 20 cups of tea and have only moved off the couch to go to and from the kitchen while pausing my Entourage, Big Love and now My Boys tv marathons. It's amazing how utterly lazy I become when I have nothing to do. I haven't even accomplished my one goal of the weekend... to finish my book. I just haven't found the time between all of my tv shows and cantaloupe eating (yes, I've almost eaten an entire cantaloupe in a day and half.) Wish me luck with my big goal! Hope everyone else is having a more exciting weekend!

Crying

Over the past few days, for one reason or another I've found myself in tears. And for those people who know me, I don't cry which has made each experience even more unique. There are several different types of crying. I'd classify mine into the following...

1. The infant cry: the cry where one is so uncontrollably upset that they cry themselves to sleep
2. The privacy cry: (this, sadly enough, is my most common cry) the cry that one does when they know not a soul around could ever hear
3. The embarrassing cry: these are the tears that come rolling down in public and are normally accompanied by the line "I don't even know why I'm crying!"

Crying to me is a fascination thing. Normally it begins because there is a problem that is out of my control however after crying somehow I always feel better about the situation that has not changed a single bit. Amazing really.

Race Week

The past four days I've been working 12 hour work days at the yacht club and let me tell you... it's far from an exciting gig. There are a few things that bother me about working at a yacht club.

1. The spoiled children out number the well behaved ones
2. While you may have a strong resume, in the eyes of parents you are nothing more than 'staff'
3. You spend every moment outside and it is 103 degrees
4. Out of boredom I find myself eating and out of heat exhaustion I find myself skipping the gym
5. The mothers of 3 looked better than I do in their bikinis
6. At the end of the day I return the children to parents that are too intoxicated to drive home
7. Every parents is a better sailor than you are... just ask them!
8. As a girl you are not a coach, you are a babysitter
9. I've had to sit through two, two hour banquets
10. Having to drive the 'coach' boat around really cut into my on the water reading time
    

Another weekend at the bay...

This has been a week of Franzia (not a tour but a week) and Friday was the celebration of finishing last weekends box, I mean bag of Franzia. Thank goodness we got that thing out of the fridge before my Dad got home. He wouldn't have taken kindly to the pink bladder that was covering the entire top shelf of the fridge.

Saturday was a typical day on the boat. By typical I mean John and Roberta got tanked! and I was a great designated driver for both the boat and the car.

As you can tell Roberta was having problems keeping her balance and sitting up right as she falls on top of me in this picture (secretly I was grateful, that's the most cleavage I think I'll ever have in a picture)


We also had a great time at outriggers where we met our favorite waiter Adam.
Here's John and I pre bucket of beer...



Here I am trying to give John a nice tour of the bay when Roberta decides not only to take a picture but also to jump into it...


And clearly John needed a tour... telling by this picture, he doesn't get out much. As his father later told me on the phone (no, I've never met his father but John insisted I talk to him on the phone) they're not water people, more of land lovers.


After a great afternoon I decided I should sober these kids up. So of course... we headed off to chili's. Roberta was so hungry she ate the orange off of John's drink because she just couldn't wait.

More importantly, I was thrilled to be there as the DD. EXCITED WAVE! (wish nucci was there he would have loved the wave!)
