Nothing has me more excited than the upcoming episode of Man Vs. Wild with Will Ferrell. Bear Grylls has taught me so many techniques to survive in the wild if I ever needed to, but let's just be honest..... I might very well pee my pants during this show . Will is an amazing actor, (and one of my hero's) but to see him in the raw, without a script is even better. Here is a little preview of what is to come on the episode. Are you ready to be amazed?
Have you ever heard a great laugh? One that is so adorable or hearty that you are taken back? I love most laughs. When I hear a great laugh I think "why can't I laugh like that?" Instead, I wheeze. I think mine does start out with a little giggle that somehow leads to a loud laugh, but somewhere in there, there is definite wheezing. I then notice that I am wheezing and start wheezing harder. It's a pretty good mixture of giggles and wheezing and throw in some "oh my lan-ta's" and "I can't stop" and "did you just hear that?" I consider my laugh to be infectious because I laugh at myself laughing. I have talked about this before, but every time I watch it I am wheezing and crying from laughing so hard. I love it so much, I watch it for a weekly pick-me-up.
These are some of the other things that make me wheeze: ******************************************************************************** "That whole having kids thing sure sounds like a real drag." "Man it is."
"No regrets, that's my motto. Well... that and everyone Wang Chung tonight"
"Old people scare me."
"Are you looking at pictures of your family?" "No. those are birds."
"I'm a magician! Pick a hand... pick a hand. I am not kidding you. Pick a hand... (left hand) nothing... (right hand) nothing. I'm a magician!"
"Where did you get all these scars? "Well, let's see. Skateboard... Truck accident... Fire hydrant." "I bet each one has its own exciting story, no?" "No not really. I skateboarded off of a truck into a fire hydrant."
"First we'll make snow angels for two hours, then we'll go ice skating, then we'll eat a whole roll of Tollhouse Cookiedough as fast as we can, and then we'll cuddle."
"Don't pee on my boots and tell me it's rainin!"
"Your Mexicanness defines who you are."
"Have you ever farted and it didn't smell? "Not since I was 13."
"Have you seen these toilets? They're GINORMOUS!"
"Why are you humping me mid-afternoon?"
"I'm in a glass case of emotion."
"I just had a PAP SMEAR, stepped in POO on the subway, and my sister's DEAD. How do you think I am?"
"Dude! Don't crop dust me!"
"Welcome to your first random drug test! "I don't have to write a test to tell you I do drugs.."
"Fill it up again! Fill it up again! Once it hits your lips, it's so good!" ********************************************************************************** The first 3 people that wheeze and can tell me who said 4 of these things and email me {sj.bradshaw17@gmail.com} I will send you a special little somethin! It's pretty amazing! Trust me. You are gonna want this!
So not much has been going on here in Fabulous La La Land other than the fact that it is getting hot. Yesterday it was 103! Ok, so that may not be your definition of hot, but to me it felt like 120. Hey! You dress in all black and then go get in a hot car and drive about 20 mins to work and just as you pull up the air starts to work. Like I said, HOT! Along with the heat here come the bugs. Lucky for us, we live right behind the garbage dumpster. When it is hot not only does it smell tangy, but at night the bugs just hang out there. It is so sick! They are everywhere. They are all over the sidewalk and the wall that surrounds the garbage. They even are on our stairs to our condo. When I work I don't get home till around 10 pm and park and prepare myself for the only time in my life that I know I will be running. This run is a short distance yet so intense! I know I have said in the past that I DO NOT RUN. This is really true. Looking at me you don't see a "runner" of any sort. I most likely won't run if you are chasing me, however, if you throw some crickets into the equation I am a blur. I'M A BLUR! I HATE CRICKETS! I am scarred of them. Petrified. Horrified. As I type I am checking out of the corner of my eyes looking for crickets. (Yes. Most likely there are no crickets in my house, but just to be on the safe side I am always on the look out.) Here is something that might give you an understanding to why I do not care for these nasty, noisy bugs.
Ok! Who are these crazy people!? I can't imagine following a cricket around let alone thousands of them for my job! Sick! The dude was talking about those sick bugs like they were sweet little puppies! Nasty. And did you see the road? It was covered! Let me tell you a little story. Burk and I were driving to Idaho across Oregon in the summmer a few summers back. We drove through exactly what you saw in the video. A ban of crickets crossing the road. It was so gross. Luckily we didn't know what they were because of the color, but I swear that our car lost a little bit of control that moment that we hit the red moving part of the road. I will never forget it! Some people have a fear of fire, heights, water, sharks. I have a deadly fear of crickets. Crickets, you may ask. Yessir! Crickets! What are you most afraid of?
I came across this in my search for my obsession. This combines one of my obsessions; skulls, with another thing that I love dearly. Diamonds. I believe that diamonds are magical. They enthrall and captivate me. They can turn a somber mood into a glorious moment. They even make my heart skip a beat.
A Diamond encrusted Skull! Isn't it fabulous? Damien Steven Hirst is an English artist and the most prominent member of the group known as "Young British Artists" (or YBAs.) He is the richest living artist to date. In 2007 Hirst revealed “For the Love of God” modelled on an 18th century skull, but the only surviving human part of the original is the teeth. The skull is cast in platinum and covered by 8,601 pave-set diamonds weighing 1,106.18 carats. The single large diamond in the middle of the forehead is reportedly worth $4.2 million alone. It’s priced at $100 million. You read correctly. $100 MILLION! This is truly stunning and what a great inspiration Hirst is. How much do you think I could get for a stirofoam skull cast in glitter and encrusted with nerds and some rock candy? Doin it! I think I am headed in the right direction.
Burk and I rarely get a night to go out. A couple nights ago I came home from work and said " I have had it! We are goin out!" Burk was so excited that he ran out the door. I grabbed my purse, pulled Bug to the door and followed him to the car.. We drove to Red Rock. I love it! It is a newer casino about 5 mins from our house. It has tons of dining, bowling, Bingo, movies, and this play area for kids. It's kind of sad that the main reason that the casinos have these "Kid Zone" area's is so that people can drop their kids off and go hit the slots. However, it is a great thing for us cause we can't ever get a sitter and Bug really loves it! So we ate at Cabo and then made our way to the Movies. We grabbed our tickets and went to check Buggers in. She got to have $2 this time for a snack! Finally we were off to the movies! We haven't been since seeing Twilight. We saw State of Play. It was A=MAZING! I loved it! It was full of suspense, I got a little scared. I jumped! It made you think. It was just a dope movie. We give it 4 thumbs up! Go see it! There are so many movies that are coming out that I am so thrilled to see. Here are the ones that caught my eye:
We are just a little family, who is growing to like eachother more and more each day. We giggle lots, sing real loud, build forts, snuggle on Sunday mornings, and are in Awww of the "Big Cily Lights" of Las Vegas.

This is the husband. He is a high school teacher. He hates it! He has some tricks up his sneaky sleeve. He says he is pretty boring, likes to sleep, watch Lou Dobbs, and day-dream.
