No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem!!!

Aren't they just soooo cute!!!!

In the News

Part of my reason for starting and keeping up with my blog is to have a diary.  I used to love writing in my diary when I was little, just think it is so cool to look back and see what was happening at a certain time, how I was feeling, and whatever other details stood out.  Well when I look back, this week is definitely one I will want to remember as WHOA we lived through that!!!

an Earthquake...On Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011 I was sitting at my desk just like any other day.  Our building is old, very old, and we have maintenance workers walking through and on top of at all times.  All of the sudden it sounded like people on the roof,then a heard of cattle on the roof, then the floor was thumping and the windows were shaking, and holy crap we were experiencing an earth quake.  I did exactly what you are not supposed to do and bolted for the door which is conveniently located in a stairs case with floor to ceiling windows.  Made it out safely and joined the rest of my co-workers as far away from the building as possible.  The quake ended.  Our phones didn't work, but facebook did, go figure.  That is where we learned of the 5.8 earth quake originating in Mineral Virginia, and shaking pretty much the entire east coast.  Below is a picture in DC where everyone is outside, the same happened in Tysons, the streets were filled with everyone wondering what the heck just happened...

a Hurricane...Hurricane Irene was on the news for days warning/scarring/building up what was supposed to be a huge storm because of the path it was taking.  Yes we survived, but it's definitely worth remembering.  New York City was evacuated, hasn't happened since 9-11, never once before that.  29 million people were affected by the Hurricane Watch, it was just crazy.  A huge huge storm that dumped a ton of rain and heavy winds but wasn't quite what they had called for...still worth remembering.

And while we are talking about the news, I couldn't go without mentioning this article.  Dogs are the greatest, most loyal, and most lovable creatures on earth.  This brought tears to me eyes.  You can read the whole article here,but the picture tells the story.

What a crazy week this was of natural disaster events, can't wait to see what next week brings.  Have a great last week of August everyone, can you believe we are at the end of August?!?!

I'm not Bi-polar, I'm Bi-Winning

I am happy to know I am not the only one that finds Charlie Sheen hysterically entertaining.  Charlie has reached over 2 million followers on twitter in 2 WEEKS, I am almost tempted to expand my social networking and open up a twitter account as well just to keep up to the date with the latest and greatest out of that mans mouth.  I was able to do an hour, YES a full hour of cardio on Saturday simply because I was watching the dateline interview, and man this stuff is addicting!!!

The lines that are coming out of this man's mouth at record pace are spreading like wildfire...here are some of my fave's if you have more, please add!!!  He is totally that guy!!!

"I'm not bi-polar, I'm bi-winning"

"The last time I took drugs I probably took more than anyone could survive. I was banging seven gram rocks because that's how I roll. I have one speed, 'Go!' I have a different constitution, a different brain, a different heart. I got tiger blood man."

"I'm tired of pretending I'm not a total bitchin' rock star from Mars." 

"I'm an F-18, bro, and I will destroy you in the air and deploy my ordnance to the ground." 

"I have one speed, I have one gear....GO!"

"You can't process me with a normal brain."

"I'm dealing with fools and trolls, people that aren't special, people that don't have tiger blood."

"I am on a drug, it's called Charlie Sheen."

"Sorry my life is so much more bitchin then yours."

"Look at me...DUH"

"WINNING!!!!!"

Holy Smokes- someone put an end to this craziness

Okay so I am SUPER annoyed with everything going in with the government and GAS PRICES.  OMG.  Chris and I carpooled to our Tennis Match tonight, all the way at Army Navy Country Club in south Arlington.  When you live in the boonies, Arlington seems like a million miles away.  But we were playing the 1st place team, so we looked past our roadtrip.  HOWEVER, I was running out of gas when we arrived in Arlington, Chris said well lets just get it after the match since it's on the other side of the road.  Well, tennis match was a disaster, our team lost.  So we pull out and into the gas station, $3.55 a gallon?!?!?!  You have got to be kidding me.  I guess the prices have been going up for a while and I just hadn't noticed they were even in the $3 range.  When I started driving I filled up my honda for $11.00 TOTAL, now I can go maybe a mile at that price.  This is riiiiiiiiiiiidiculous.  Of course Chris thought it was more riiiiiiidiculous that I had to get out and take a picture to share with all of you, but seriously....someone take control of this damn country!!!!
