blue skies and green fields

last week,

lillie and i went for a ride along the river trail

and ended up at the lake.

at the beginning of the ride i decided to take off my shoes because

"today is too beautiful to wear shoes."

i was right.

it was. 

thanks to the abundant rainfall this year, 

two areas of the trail were full of water.

riding through the puddles barefoot was incredible. 

after the second "river" we saw this bad boy.

behold, 

the rusted fire hydrant.  

i should apologize for not taking more pictures during this glorious ride,

but i'm not sorry so it would be a lie.

sometimes life is too beautiful to stop and document.

worth every second.

if the wheelie's don't get you,

maybe the beautiful scenery

and amazing soundtrack will.

now i just need to find this man
and ask him to apply to my bike gang.
we'd be the coolest kids everrrrrr. 

like a loaded potato, but with words.

friday.

my broken toes and i went to my cousin's wedding

in five inch heels and my yellow dress.

ashley, beth and jamie's date were the only blonde's there. 

'twas quite comical.

aside from dancing and watching a very enthusiastic 

white man dance an energetic salsa,

we ate delicious food and sipped on

what may just be the best drank ever.

 i must regrettably admit i am not sporting a double black eye in the photo above.
the stupid lights made me appear to be more legit than i am.
but one day people...one day i will rock the black eye like nobody's biznass.
after the reception,

we headed over to target so i could buy baby clothes

for my bff's baby shower the next day.

it was then i realized the fullness of my disease.
 it's official. 
baby sections in any store are harmful to my health.
{iwantababy.iwantonelikewoah.}

 saturday.

i finished bossypants.

it was brilliant.

i love tina fey more than words can express.

later that afternoon i went to sid's baby shower.
i won a lint roller and a pack of m&m's.
i gave the chocolate covered candies
to bethie and scottopher when i got home.
we spent the better part of an hour
in the same room, playing games on our pizzles
and speaking to or about our games.
i introduced scott to galaxy puzzle and bubble shooter;
two of what i thought to be the best games ever.
boooy was i wrong.
he introduced me to

 best.game.ever.
i can honestly say it has been the best 99 cents i have ever spent.
we went to jimmy john's with bree

and i wanted to slap my face for never trying their sandwiches before.
sogood.
after supper we headed back to bree's
so i could use free wifi to download tiny wings
while beth and bree painted their nails.
after waiting for hot pink paint to dry
we sped over to dan and craig's
for the maiden voyage of their new projector.
we thought we were going to watch
diary of a wimpy kid
but instead, they popped in
this bad boy.
it's even better the second time around.
after the movie,
beth, scott, bree and i went to coldstone.
scott ordered oatmeal cookie batter, cookie dough and cinnamon.
when i first heard that combination i grimaced.
then i tried it and
mama mia, that's-a-good-a-flavor!
 sunday.
after a free lunch with delicious strawberries
we laid out to read play tiny wings.
i looked up in the middle of my game 
to see weezy walking toward us.
we chatted for a good while and caught up on life.
after some more sunshine loving and tiny winging,
beth and i made dinner for some friends.
fyi world:
crissa makes the best desserts ever.
beth, bree and i went for a post-dinner bike/scooter ride
around the town.
after being followed around the library by a homeless man,

we rode to our hearts content in the maze that is 

underground parking. 

 
sslbijhtdhamww.
{sorry so long, but i just had to document how awesome my weekend was}

cincodemayobaby.

last year sam and i 

rode our bikes to taco bell

for cheap, commercial mexican.

then we rode along the river trail and took

a little detour at a park where i played on swings 

and laughed at sam in his moment of illness and need.

after, i went to an awkward party

where they served fake margaritas along

with chips, dip and cookies. we played a game

but my hip thrusting was looked down upon. stupid zoobs.

this year, there's a party

at the north side of the complex

we're going to attend. let's hope my hip

thrusting is praised instead of judged and the tunes

they blast are good enough for me to shuffle, spongebob and bernie.

 

 el desperado circa 2009. cinco de marcho* party 

*everyone was leaving in may, so we had our cinco de mayo party in march. complete with a pinata, a swim in the mexican gulf {the best heated swimming pool ever} where we played games like mexicans vs. border patrol {very similar to cops and robbers} and finished the evening by watching the best quasi-mexi movie ever.

we're kind of joking but kind of serious.

joking about the application process.

serious about the west side story part.
