Painting a picture

I want to attempt to paint a picture for you, I fully believe that for as long as I live, I will never be able to describe the awesomeness that was Sunday. You may not get what's to come and why it was so great, but good god, what a day.

So me, my mom, and my sis went to the beach for our annual bday girls trip. No kids, no men, just us. We planned a giant boat trip for our last day. 8 people, one being a dude. ONE. So day starts, I pack a badass cooler, like I wish I had a pic. Beer, water, conecuh, bacon, hummus, veggies, sandwiches, the whole nine.

Before we even get to the boat, we get informed by one dude (E) that it wouldn't crank....

We deal, boat cranks, we go to sand dollar land (Ono Island) because its too early to drink and stay alive.

An hour later.

We try to leave, shocker, boat won't crank. Five attempts later and B having to pump some ball to keep the boat running we make it to the island. We drink, we eat, we drink. We make lots of magic vines. E looks towards the coast and says the perfect storm is brewing. We all laugh it off, totally forgetting about the whole BOAT NOT CRANKING THING.

Drink, drink, eat, drink.

Oh yeah, it really is going to storm. Lots of sideways rain, lots more vines, no working motor.... Sea tow gets called. They will be an hour. Well that's fine, we can just play in the rain.... Except there was lighting. So yeah. 8 people on a boat, in a typhoon, beer supply dwindling.. Klassy with a K.

^^^^^ what we call a whirly gig.

3 guys with a battery box, trying to brave the storm, jumped us off 3 times but we just couldn't keep it running.

Side note here: people in OB are like a different breed, well, locals and owners are. There is the fair share of tourist trash but the locals all just kinda go with it. Shit happens, and they all know that it could happen to them. So everyone help. We dig boats out of the sand, you jump off strangers boats, you share beer, you just take care of you fellow island friends.

So battery box guy gets out of his boat, in a typhoon, and ties our boat to his.  He then proceeds to DRAG us to our dock, get out ohs boat again and swim us into the lift.  I can't make this shit up guys.  I slung all of the cash we had on the boat at him, then unloaded the boat.

What a day.  Just what a day.  It was awesome.
Also, follow us on Vine for adventures like Gouda.... (turn up your volume)



and shrimp...

Funnies

Another week has come and gone.  Again.
I feel like all week long I wish away the week, then it goes by, then I'm sad that the little keeps getting bigger, I keep getting older, and time keeps passing.  Such is life I guess.
We have family in town for the nephew's 2nd birthday party.  3 kids, under 4, under one roof.  The roof is mine.  I'll let you guess how awesome that is.
My sis went to get her hair done on Wednesday at 5pm, leaving me with all 3 of them.  For 2 hours.
But really, it was great.  They were good and I managed to keep them ALL alive (and feed them dinner!)! Damn.

Proof.

(also, I still havent gotten and help on the pic squish sitch. so can someone tell me what the eff please).

This little girl is quite happy to have her daddy home.  I think he feels the same :)

She's diggin the swing too! 

And my funnies for the week.  They are all taken from Pinterest Humor.  Go look now.   

 ^^^^No explanation needed here.

^^^^I can just hear it now, "Hey kid, wanna buy some drugs?" I mean, what the fuck.  What would your reaction be if you saw this guy?  

^^^^I can relate to this pink guy...

But not the one below. 

I can't even grasp how this picture happened.  Who's idea was it?  Did this guy go to a photographer and ask to become a pink unicorn or was it suggested?  I don't need an answer.  I love it.

That's it for today folks.  Have a happy weekend!

Midweek Randoms

Joining Meagan in a little link-up this week just to share the random-ness!

• John comes home tomorrow! Need I say more?! We have been husband/daddy-less for a whole month and we finally get him back! Yay!

• Scarlet looked at me yesterday and said, "Mommy, you wowwy about ya own self mommy and I'll wowwy about Scahlet, ok?"  Wonder where she heard that?

• We went to the beach again last weekend and had so much fun!  We got to spend a lot of time with our dear friends, Becky and Cameron, that live there and are currently daddy/husband-less as well.  Scarlet actually wanted to swim with no floaties so I obliged and man did she surprise me! She cannot swim by any means but she sure can jump off the side and kick hard enough to get up for a breath! I was shocked!  All that kicking also made for a happy, sleepy girl! She went to bed and naps without so much as a talk, didn't even want to read books!  She also found a new fave food when a man at a restaurant gave her a grilled shrimp.  Random right?  It wasn't weird to me because in OB it is like everyone is just nicer, possibly because they are all drinking...  Anyway, she bypassed her grilled cheese that night and ate a dozen grilled shrimp.  Pray for our wallets.

 Swimming at the island is always a favorite!

 Heading to dinner with her beach pal!

Ya'll, why are my pictures all squished?  Help.

• Does anyone watch those reality shows on ABC like Extreme Home Makeover and Undercover Boss?  They have got to quit making them! I literally bawled my eyes out last night, alone, watching Extreme Weight Loss.  While eating mini reese cups.  
• Scarlet has her first soccer practice today.  I got her a couple pairs of little gym shorts to wear and she thought she was the coolest! She told me "my shoes are my supa fast socca shoes that help me kick da ball real fast."

• Why when I type her voice do I feel like she sounds like Billy Madison?
• Who else LOVES a short week?!
• I'm so excited for my Sister and her clan to get here next week!  We always have a blast and we get to celebrate my nephews 2nd birthday! 
• Also even more excited for my friend LG to have her baby girl! She is 36 weeks pregnant and she makes the prettiest pregnant lady there is! Swear, go look.  I'd have another too if I looked that good!

That's all I got, epic I know.  If you're feeling frisky hop on over to Meagan's Blog and link up!  Happy Thursday!

Tootin'

So I'm not one to toot my own (food) horn but y'all. I made a deconstructed Greek salad tonight that was blog worthy. Seri, make this now.

This was just the beginning. Chopped seedless cucumber, green pepper, Kalamata olives, halved cherry tomatoes, & thin sliced red onion. Squeezed a half lemon over the top and let sit until I was ready to eat.  (pinsperation).

Next I grilled some chicken tenders that had cavenders seasoning on them. Right before I ate I put a slice of feta, a drizzle of olive oil, & a shake of oregano on the salad. BOMB DOT COM. Period. End of story. Make it now.
Next up. The little got to make her own dinner tonight! One thing that has kept us busy while John has been gone has been lots of "doing it mine self!" It's a great thing to let her demolish a bag of cheese and make her own pizza while I do the other "chores."


She got to choose her sides, they were raw broccoli and olives. I'll take what I can get.


Are you guys tired of hearing about the beach yet? Well sorry. I didn't wanna wash my hair tonight but I had to because once again we are going to the beach and no one bathes there...right? Oh just me? Hmmm... I loathe washing and drying my hair.  First world problems, I know.


I found this pic of my girl the other day and it made me miss her hair. Also, how do kids get so smart?? Mine started pulling the "I love you mom, you're my favorite," right before doing something dick headish...is this normal for 3?!

My mom emailed me this. Hilarious!

Watch me!

Have you guys ever looked at the humor section of Pinterest? I don't repin that shit bc I get soooo tired of a feed full of memes but damn. It is hilarious. Here are some of my faves And they are all from Pinterest. I am not siting them because I am lazy and on my iPad...is that legal? (I promise you can find them all on the Humor section of Pinterest).

I would pay several american dollars to take a photo like this.  If I could quit laughing long enough.  Who thinks "hey what a great idea for a picture, it would be even better if I was in my underwear..."

Ok I'll stop for now. Hope you all have a fab Memorial Day weekend!
