Bitter, Party Of 1, Your Table Is Ready

I love this girl. Really love her. But, if the radio stations here don't give her new song a rest, I might kill myself, or my radio. And Hubster won't like that.

Is it true about these two? Did Ed really go back home to dump his girlfriend then come back to Jillian? Is he really a player!??! Uggh. After last years drama with Jason, I SWORE I wouldn't watch this season. And I didn't. But after this seasons success, I thought, ok, maybe I will watch next season. NOOOOOOO way now. I hate this show. Why do they insist on breaking my heart all the time? Look how cute these two are? I really thought they would "make" it.

My fingers and toes are crossed.

These two. How awesome is it that they are finally home and safe? How awesome was the footage of them seeing their family for the first time in months? I am not a crier, but I teared up a little. Then, I find out, that on one of the MAJOR news stations, was bashing Bill Clinton for going and getting them. Saying he should have left them and that it wasn't worth what he had to give N. Korea to get them released. EXCUSE ME?!?!?! It wasn't worth it?!?! Some people make me sick. Put the politics aside, drop the republican/democrat BS and just be happy they are home. Uugghhh I swear.

Huge Tool Alert!! Sorry, I can't be on Team Jon anymore. He is bugging the crap out of me. He is so obsessed with being "cool" it's sick. Really sick.

Seriously, you chose Michael Lohan to buddy up with?

Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner!!

Besides that, on the last episode of last season, he said he hates the fame. He hates he can't just be Jon, that he has to be Jon from Jon & Kate plus 8. He also said he doesn't really want to do the show anymore and but Kate wants to so he has too. Um, aren't you shopping around ideas for your own show? Aren't you taking 22 yr olds to France? And partying in the Hamptons? It looks to me like you're pretty obsessed with the fame too.

Go buy some more Ed Hardy clothes, tool.

Ok, I am done. Thanks.

Forgive Me, For I Have Sinned

With these bad boys.

I am sick just thinking about how many I ate.....in one sitting. I am, however, pretty sure it's the Hubster's fault. He sent me into Wal-Mart, by myself, for a few groceries, mistake #1.

As I was walking down the main aisle, passing the cookie aisle, I could hear my name being called. I am looking around and no one is there. Then I look again, and I see them. The Mint Milanos. They were smiling and waving at me, acting like we were old friends. Psshhh, old friends yeah right. I told them to leave me alone, I am on Weight Watchers and I wanted nothing to do with their sugary, minty, milk chocolatey goodness. Did they listen, no. They "fell" into my basket. I tried to put them back, but I couldn't. I went to put them back on the shelf and I couldn't let go of them. So I told myself, one bag won't hurt right? I can jump back on the wagon tomorrow right?

So for now, it's just me and my sugary, minty, milk chocolatey old friends.

Thank you Pepperidge Farm, thank you.

Chi Town Picture Overload

We are home!! We had so much stinking fun in Chicago. Hubster has the best family. I think I laughed more that whole week then I have ever laughed. They are all comedians. All.Of.Them.
We started out the week at Six Flags Great America. This place was awesome. I am used to our Six Flags Magic Mountain, which is a dump. So this place really shocked me.

This is me with my Sister in law Terry and nieces. I had so much fun with them while I was out there. And these two little girls are the most well behaved 12 year olds I have ever met. They are just so sweet and so funny.

Little Boy loved him some Wonder Woman. When she walked away, he kept blowing her kisses. He is a little charmer.

AAhhhhh, I finally met the bird!! Growing up, I was a HUGE Tweety Bird fan.
By huge, I mean HUGE.

So meeting, her/him was bitter sweet.
Is it a her? Or a he? Hmmmm
Do you like that I have the same pose as Wonder Woman? She must know to do that so your arm doesn't look like a sausage link.

So, remember this post? I am pretty sure that is where he learned his moves.

My little pole dancer, mama is so proud.

They had this mist machine, seriously, he would not move away from it. I thought some angry man that was dying of 90 Degree weather was going to toss him out of the way like a rag doll.

On Thursday we went to Downtown Chicago. We rode the "L" Train into town, which was awesome. We ate lunch, walked around, then took a bus over the Navy Pier.

This Ferris Wheel was MASSIVE people. MASSIVE!! We had to go on it though, the view from the top was sure to be amazing.

Here I am with Sassy Sophia.

Here is my Sister in Law Terry, Little Boy and Danielle.

I took this about half way up, I told you the view was amazing.

Little boy looks scared, but he isn't. He is mad because I wouldn't let him play with the bars that open up the cage! I am pretty sure he wanted to jump out.

And now he is full blown mad. This is what he does when you tell him no and hurt his feelings. He cries and tries to make you feel bad. Isn't he sweet?

After Navy Pier, it was time to take the train back home. This is the view from the train stop.

You didn't think I would leave Chicago without a little visit to my friend Oprah would you?

I am pretty sure Oprah wipes her Jimmy Choos here. Those were all the photos I could get. They are so strict about letting you take photos. Weird.

The White Sox Game!!

This night was amazing! My Sister In Law Lucy, is such a good time! Once we got into the stadium, she took me to the Bullpen Sports bar which is ground level, right on the field. It was unbelievable. The outside seats, are first come first serve. Well we happened to get there in time and got the best seats on the patio! Our seats were so good, that we were actually asked if we would switch with people. Um, NO!! We had ground level seats and a waitress to bring us those yummy beers and Chicago hot dogs. What more could you ask for?!?
That is what we got to stare at all night. The White Sox's poster boy, Jermaine Dye. He was so friendly with all of us too.
Ok, so here is the story on these two. Even though Lucy and I had amazing seats, our table sat 4 and they try to fill up every seat. So of course, we knew we would have to share our table. That's where these two crazies come in the picture. I don't think we could have gotten a better couple paired with us. They were absolutely hilarious. Like, I am laughing so hard I can't breathe hilarious. Notice the guy's jacket? He bought that just because he was cold. Now, scroll down.

Oh yeah, when the game was over, he gave the jacket to me!! He isn't even a Sox fan, he was just there treating some of his employees. Him and his wife are from Jersey! So here I am showing off my new "way too big for me" sweatshirt and the beer they bought us. Good times!

And that was Chicago. I can't wait to go back! I miss those Zamoras already.

oh and p.s. I totally had dinner with Matt Lorenz . You know, the winner of Top Design?

Him and his Wife Veronica pretty much rock.

Bellies and Blossoms

When I was prego, I worked at Bellies And Blossoms. It's a cute little maternity store here in Vegas and pretty much heaven. I am not sure where all of you live, but here in Vegas, our Nordstrom does not carry maternity clothes and we only have one GAP that has a maternity section. So this store, like I said, is heaven.

This is a picture of me and the Hubster back when I was 7 months prego. That top is from Bellies and it is sooooo cute. I still wear it today. Yep, I am not prego and I am still wearing prego tops. Stop it, I am not fat! What I am saying is, these clothes work for before pregnancy, during and after. The owner, she is pretty much as tall as Kobe Bryant and as skinny as a pole and she wears 80% of her merchandise! Seriously people, it works.

(bad picture, I know)
See this pinkish peach top here? Totally from her store. Cute right?.

I know it's not a very good shot of the shirt, but you get the idea.

Anyways. Just wanted to let all my pregos out there know, that on August 8Th, Bellies and Blossoms will be having a sidewalk sale. Stuff will be up to 70% off. Like I said, she sells the same brands that you can get from Nordtrom online!! Amazing right?? Right.
Oh and if you're a prego who likes name brand jeans, she has amazing jeans.
Paige Denim, James Jeans and more.
Go there now. Tell her I sent you. =)
oh and p.s. you can shop online if you don't live in Vegas. Right now for July, any red, white or blue item is 20% off!! Doesn't that make you giddy?

See Ya!

I know I have been a bad blogger, I get it. Today though, I am leaving for Chicago!! I promise when I get back, to have the best stories ever to tell you.

I won't let you down.

I am sure I will see some crazy drunk White Sox fans (hopefully it's not me!) while I am here watching them play. Yes, yes, I promise to enjoy a Chicago hot dog for each and every one of you.

Wednesday, I will see some of my old friends.

You know them right?Yes that's right, they live here.

So you people be good and I will see you when I get back!!

Where Did You Get That Bracelet From?

I got it from my mama, I got it from my mama.

I am just kidding. Come on, you know that song right?

Ok anyways, so I love accessories. Love love love them.

I haven't tuned in religiously to The Bachelorette this season, but I have watched a few episodes. This girl is always dressed so cute and always has the best earrings, bracelets or whatever on. I love her accessories. Well, after doing some "RESEARCH" I found where she gets it from.

The line is called Stella & Dot Jewelry. It's chunky and amazing!! It's not super cheap, but it's not super expensive either. Go here and you can purchase it and read all about it. No I am not getting anything for this post and no I wasn't asked to promote it. I just stumbled across her blog and fell in love!! I was so excited to figure out where Jillian gets her cute stuff. Now, if I could just stumble across where she got that cute white shirt and big brown belt.

Eeeewww

I am not one to get all deep and love dovey. It's just not my style. But Father's Day is coming up and I have to acknowledge what an amazing dad the Hubster is. He loves Little Boy more than anything. I love that. I thought I would share some cute pictures of my boys.

Happy Father's Day Babe, you're the best!

Oh and p.s. Little Boy's favorite word is Dada.

Jade Amberthighs

That's my stripper name. Pretty good right?

Well I might need it, I've stumbled across a new addiction.
Pole Fitness!

Yes, that is me. I am that good!
My cousin has been going to these stripper classes (that's what I call them) and while I was visiting her she asked me to take one with her. OH.MY.GOSH.SIGN.ME.UP. It was so much fun, and a SERIOUS work out. No wonder strippers (most) have awesome bodies. 10 minutes into the workout, I was feeling the burn. Today, I can't even move, so I know it was a good workout. Even my abs are hurting. Plus the hubster thinks it's awesome that I want to learn to pole dance. Before I even took my first class, he was joking about how we could put a pole in the garage.

(he's Mexican, everything happens in the garage)

So now that I am back to Vegas, I have found a studio here that I am looking to join.

And with these bad boys, I am sure to fit right in!

Just remember, at Pole Fitness class, we take off inches, not our clothes.

Call Betty Ford, I'm Addicted

To California!!

I love this place.

I love breakfast with the Stars at Disneyland!

I love taking Little Boy to the beach!

I love seeing my boys, loving the pier.

I loved our small Ocean View! haha

I really loved the Beverly Hills 90210 beach house! I can't believe I was standing right in front of it. Right in front of the beach where David Silver wrote "I Love Don" in the sand. Ahhh, heaven. You know what would have made this moment even better????

If I had some pinkberry while I was standing in front of the 90210 Beach House.
Now that would be heaven.
Does anyone know how I can get this stuff pumped into my veins? I have gone 3 times in the past 24 hours to get my fix. This sweet, tangy, frozen goodness just makes my mouth water.
Unfortunately, I am not sure how long I will be able to feed my addiction. I will be going back home to Vegas in 5 days and sadly, there are no locations there.
(but don't worry, I plan on nagging them until they come to Vegas)
Until then, I will just have to soak up the swirly goodness while I am in California.

Where Have You Been All My Life

HOLY CRAP!!!

This stuff is heaven. I'm talking H.E.A.V.E.N.

I walked in and had no clue how this place worked. I just knew that L.A. people go crazy for this stuff, plus my girls from "The Hills" are always eating there. So, I knew I had to try it. I told my good friend Danielle that I wanted to try it and she told me her favorite is the original with Captain Crunch and fresh strawberries as her toppings. Gross right? WRONG!! HEAVEN!!

I asked to taste what the yogurt taste like and I about fell over it was so good. I asked them if they could give me a 5 gallon bucket full of this stuff, but they weren't sure how to price that out, so I settled for the medium size. Of course, I had captain crunch and fresh strawberries as my toppings, so glad I did. Every bite was amazing.

I was really really devastated when it was all gone. So devastated, that I almost walked Little Boy and I back over there, in the rain, to get another.

We are leaving Hermosa Beach in a day and Hubster and Little Boy are going home, I am going to Temecula to visit my BFF Leah. I googled the Pinkberry there, it's so close to her store. I don't think she knows it yet, but we will be making a few trips there. =)

p.s. If anyone from Pinkberry is reading this (and that is a BIG if) please call me, I think you are amazing.
