SO FUNNY!

My travels to Las Vegas:

Stuffing suitcases in the trunk

In a cabana at Beach Club.

Big fat awesome sundae at Serendipity

 Walking around

Hard Rock Hotel. Next time, I'm staying there. We spent a couple hours loving up on the memorabilia.

Driving home.

All in all, a wonderful trip.

Guys, I'm not kidding.

I have stayed away from Soda this past weekend/week, and have stayed, consistently, 3 lbs lighter.

Also, I cut bangs. If you haven't been to facebook lately, here is a picture of them. It's the only one I've taken so far. Yes, I did my makeup so that my face would look alright even if people didn't like my hair. I like to take precautions sometimes.

In 3 days, I will be on my way to Las Vegas with Priscilla.

My car battery died the other day, but it is fixed now, along with my brakes. 

Maddie got a haircut. She never understands why she gets haircuts.

I have been listening to a lot of Jenny Lewis.

I painted my nails.

The Dave Matthews Band will be here in 15 days, and I have pit tickets. That means I will be right up front, on the rail. 

The move to Seattle is in about 21 days.

That's all for now, I guess.

I've been selling things....

...and my cash in a shoebox is getting ready for a trip to Las Vegas!

When I roam to other peoples' homes

I woke up this morning to a hazy, grey sky. My first thought was, "Can I live in this while I'm in Seattle?" My second thought was, "I'll just wait for it to burn off before I start my day." I do that too much. I'm proud of myself for setting a date and making a plan to leave. There are people close to me who wish I would horde up some dollars before I go, but I can't wait anymore. 


(Please excuse me if this post is only semi-coherent. Twitter has turned me into a short burst type of writer, and it is infuriating).


I don't know what I'm expecting when I get there. People ask, and I'm not sure what to say. Formulating a plan now...


Things I expect will happen in Seattle:

1) I will be lonely


2) I will look for a job


3) I will spend time with my dad, and we will probably go to the Wild Horse Casino, or something like that, and I will win $700 again (I really expect this. Give me my positive thoughts).


4) I will see friends at the Gorge, and I will forget, for a few days, that I've never lived outside of San Jose before.


Doesn't that read like I'm 18 and going away to school or something? Sheesh, Vanessa. When I come home, I'll have a new outlook. My list will be like this:


Things I learned in Seattle:


1) Up north, they appreciate a girl whose love for her dog is rivaled only by her love for Coca-Cola.


2) I no longer have a craving for McDonald's fries. 

Short and sweet. We'll see how it goes. And yes, Cindi and Jenny, let Jill know I'm available for babysitting! ;)

       

Wedding Pictures

Here are some photos from my cousin Bev's wedding to her longtime love, Ron. I'll post more as I get them. They were so kind as to let me practice my decorating skills on their beach wedding in Carmel, and I'm thankful that they did. Here you go!

Zzzzzzzzzz.......zzzzz......zzzz????

I hope no one tells all my facebook friends that I totally lied and said I was going to bed. We all know I only said that because I felt like people would notice my "online now" insignia for too long and think me a loser. Well guess what? I am! Here is me, right now:

Does the hair in my face bother you as much as it bothers me? What about the face, in general? It's okay if that bothers you, too. I don't like to lie in bed without a fan blowing, unless winter is chilling my house out, so that's where the wayward bangs come from. I'm thinking of cutting them. Short and straight, like real bangs. Not an inch long, but just across the tops of my eyebrows, and all the way across. No part. I asked my mom what she thought of this, and she said, "Blech! No!" Soooo....I guess I'm not? I don't know.

Here is what is in my ears in those giant headphones:

I'm such a sucker for a)songs that tell a story and b) songs that mention California.

I'll try to sleep now. Please PLEASE don't tell facebook I was here so late. It will give it the wrong impression of me. Thanks, guys.

PS I'm really worried that when people see pictures of me on my blog, they think, "Man, she's really let herself go." I haven't, I swear!

Sad Baby

This is the face that will get Auntie Neenee to give Ethan anything he wants:

Look at that pouty lip action. Ethan wins.

I know I love them too much

Don't you just want to take her on a date?

Summer Things and Relocation

I love Ethan. This picture was taken on the 4th of July at Louann and Steve's house. I had a great day visiting with Jenny's family and eating some delicious food. I'm going to miss this baby when I'm gone in Seattle.

Yes, you heard correctly. Auntie NeeNee (that's me) is "moving" to Seattle. I am leaving the first week in September. A friend just moved up there for work, and he said, "Hey! Vaness! Come hang out at my house if you want!" The rest is yet-to-be-made history.We'll see how I do without my mom and my dogs.

On with summer pictures...

A cousin's wedding:

A trip to the beach to scope out my cousin Bev's wedding venue and meet with the officiant. 

Went to go see The Mumlers at the Blank Club with Kavita

That's it for now. My plans for upcoming life include Las Vegas, concerts, singing and moving upwards, state-wise. I'll keep you posted, lovahs.
