Home sweet 2nd Home 87/278

You would think that with the amount of time and money we spend here we would have our own parking spot.

Fail 86/279

I didn't take any pictures today. I'm sure it had a little something to do with the fact that I was exhausted and was recovering.

Lemonade 85/280

We got handed some lemons.

But we know how to make lemonade. Just pass the sugar and vodka.

Disneyland 84/281

Great place, Great friends, Great fun, Great Day.

California Adventure 83/282

Allyne, Robert and I headed down to LA for a little sun, fun and Disneyland. We definitely got our fill of them all. We started our day at California Adventure.





We then headed back to the Embassy Suites where we met up with cody. We tried to teach them a lesson about having a 2 hour FREE happy hour. I took this as a personal challenge and I am quite proud to say that I was successful. It was then back to Downtown Disney for dinner and not quite free drinks.
We finally finished off our night with a twirl in the teacups. Maybe not the best idea when you are already spinning in line.

Pink Taco Sangria 82/283

Oh Pink Taco Sangria. I love you more than you can possibly know. I wish there was a Pink Taco near my house, but I must travel to L.A. or Vegas, which I guess really isn't all that bad of a problem.

Spoiled Much? 81/284

This is what I saw when I got out of the shower this morning.

Pedicure 80/285

I got my toes did yesterday. I had them painted purple because it's very important that all my accesories match, including my purse and toenails. I was just sitting here admiring them. Please don't feel obligated to post comments regarding the beauty of my toes. I already know.

Fail 79/286

No picture today. Bad Kelly.

Gilbert 78/287

Check out my new purple purse.

I shall call him Gilbert. All my purses are male. Many people think that purses should be female, but I disagree. I like to have him on my arm as a beautiful piece of eye candy. I like him to haul around all my stuff and most importantly I want him to always have money whenever I want it. Therefore I am pretty sure that my purses are all male.

Anways, Gilbert is so freakin amazing and pretty. This picture just doesnt do him justice.

Tug-of-War 77/288

Jack and Ollie play with their indestructible dog toy from Target for hours. I was skeptical about it being indestructible, but so far it has held up.

BBQ 76/289

Try not to fall out of your chair in shock, but tonight I ate something other than hot pockets and scrabled eggs for dinner! I made steak and orzo pasta salad and it was GOOD.
It was also the first BBQ event of the year. Yeah for warm weather and yummy food.

Spa and Happy Birthday to my Biiillllllyyyyyy 75/290

This pic might be a little unclear because it was so dark, but what you are seeing is the silhouette of a bucket of beers on ice. It was delivered to me and the bff by my father. We were spending the evening soaking in his hot tub. I appreciated the butler service.

Happy Birthday Cody!!!

Flossin' and Brushin and dentists Oh My! 74/291

Went to the dentist for a PM Service. It's a lazy persons dream. Just laying back while someone else brushes and flosses for you.

PB&J & MOMO 73/292

I couldn't sleep and was feeling a little hungry. Luckily, I had the perfect little man to share a PB&J sandwhich with at midnight.

Cupola 72/293

See that fancy dome shaped thing on top of the building in the background? Well, friends that is known as a Cupola. It was set up there by my talented husband. We have really enjoyed adding "cupola" to our vocabulary. It's such an entertaining word to say. This cupola (saying it never gets old) is in the Bass Pro shopping center in manteca. Go have a peak.

Something smells 71/294

Looks like it might be me.

Fail 70/295

No picture today. I remembered right as I was crawling in bed, but was too tired to do anything about it.

Heavenly 69/296

Kinda obvious why they named it Heavenly.

Meet me in Lake Tahoe 68/297

Travis' cousin Danielle, who lives in Louisianna, was in Lake Tahoe for the weekend with friends. Since Tahoe is so close and its been waaaaaaaaaay too long since we've seen her, we headed up for some fun. It was quite a night!!!

Isn't it amazing? 67/298

Isn't it amazing how their horns go away when they are sleeping?

Good vs. Great 66/299

A good operator runs the boomtruck from the operators station. A great operator stands on top of the cab.

More flavor, less sculpting 65/300

I have heard lots of people raving about a new mexican food bistro in lodi, Alibrijes, so me and the bff rose decided to check it out. It was awful! Everything was bland and lacked any type of flavor whatsoever. Neat little rice pyramid...but not worth eating. Bleh, what a let down.

I have Cured Insomnia 64/301

Last night our power went out around 4pm and didnt come back on until 4am this morning. Travis was at the gym and I was left to wander around the house in the dark. After running my cell phone battery dead I determined that there must be something I can find to entertain myself. So I dug out a bunch of candles (which by the way made my house smell similar to a whore house with all the various scents) to see if I could get enough light to read. That oakie ingenuity is what allowed me to snuggle up in bed with a scary book (not the best choice). Normally, I can lay in bed reading for hours without a hint of sleepiness, but not last night. Nope, I have figured out the cure for my insomnia. I must read by candlelight. I could barely keep my eyes open. Good thing Travis made it home right about the time I was falling asleep. I probably would have burnt my house down with all the candles.

Oh Flippy Flippy Flops 63/302

I have missed you. I missed the freedom of the wind on my toes. I am so happy that we have found each other again. I love the way it feels when you slide between my toes and whisper sweet nothings to my feet.

Happy Birthday Kevin!!! 62/303

Even though it was his birthday, Kevin gave me a present.
Happy Birthday Kevin, you are one of the greatest friends I could have ever asked for.

Free Willie's Maiden Voyage 61/304

Free Willie set sail today!!! It was such a nice afternoon as we cruised around the port. We even saw a couple of sea lions and watched them dine on some fish.

Jailbreak! 60/305

I went to get Sammy to bring over to the house this afternoon so he could run around and play with the other dogs. He has been pretty depressed since I brought Ollie to my house. I had a pretty good indication how the afternoon was going to turn out when little tiny Sam attacked 80 pound Jack. It resulted in me laying on top of Jack while trying to pry Sam out of his mouth. Luckily, Jack is nice to other dogs (it's just people he hates) and he didnt chomp him into oblivion. I had let them all run around and play for a while and then decided to take Sam back to my parents house. This caused Ollie to go into a meltdown. He finally decided he couldnt take it anymore and climbed the gate and launched himself over the fence! *sigh* I'm starting to seriously dislike dogs. It was like the lightbulb went on for Ollie. He realized he could break out and roam around at his leisure. Which is the exact reason he his stuck back in the kennel at my parents house. Hopefully he wont figure out how to climb the 8' fence.

Don't let sleeping dogs lie 59/306

As soon as we came out from the vet's office I tossed both guys in the backseat. They were asleep almost instantly and stayed that way until it was time to go to bed. Thats when I realized they had recharged from their power nap and were ready to play.

Oliver 58/307

I am temporarily (seriously, I am not keeping him...seriously) taking care of Oliver aka Ollie. I thought Jack would be the one to have a problem with him being here, but it's actually the royal king momo himself that is pissy. I guess he doesn't like sharing his castle with anyone else. For now I am bribing Momo with treats and extra belly rubs.

Fail 57/308

No picture today...but I did post 2 yesterday so that should count for something.
Actually, I saw this on a friends blog and thought I would do it in place of my picture that I didnt take.
