It is a brunch and Bone Thugs and Harmony Pandora station kind of day.
I should probably question my own sanity..
When I continue to watch the Real Housewives of Whatever city at the time reunions.
There seriously is not enough alcohol in my house to reduce my anxiety levels. I want to crawl under my couch.
I am aware I am my own worst enemy in this, but I’m pretty sure Lou wanted to watch too.
Things that I currently need to get a handle on in my life (in no particular order):
my work load
my jelly bean consumption
You guys...
So this happened while we were in Iowa.. no, not my legs turned completely pale (but yes, in all fairness, that did also happen)
We stopped in a small town called Badger on the way to my grandparents house, so of course a photo was necessary.
Just to add to how much I love my cousin, we both have a strong love for the Honey Badger. Haven’t seen the video? You are going to want to do...
Krissy!

A Fine Frenzy has come on twice this morning on Pandora and I can’t help but remember our Fernleaf days with too much wine and iTunes. Miss you!
Oh wow.. this just sent me into a tail spin of memories. So maybe it wasn’t the best idea for Gilda and I to go and have cocktails all day long and then turn on Near to You by A Fine Frenzy. Tears. Free. Flowing.
Soooo many...
Grandpa's 80th Birthday in Iowa - The First Night
This past weekend Mo and I packed up our bags and boarded a plane to head to Iowa to see my family. My grandfather (my mom’s dad) was turning 80 and my mom and her brothers put together a big birthday bash for him, so naturally, we were all in.
My mom’s side of the family is BIG. In every sense of the word. She is one of 6 kids and I am one of twenty some odd grandkids, and we have...

Currently...
Rocking out to Solsbury Hill with some of the fam. Dancing around the kitchen, eating BBQ, and drinking wine out of plastic cups.
I am content.
Stressing.
Here’s hoping we make our flight.
I seriously need to be rocked. If you need me I will be in the corner. Having heart palpitations.
“And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had
And what was...”
– Currently rocking out to Florence and the Machine on Pandora, because we now have FULL FLEDGED internet. Which is a whole additional story.
O.A.R.
You guys, the concert was AMAZING. The weather was so perfect. A lovely 75 degrees with no humidity, while we sang and danced along with some of my favorite OAR songs (and over served myself on some VERY tall beers).
The photo quality of some of my pictures is borderline hilarious, mainly because I couldn’t hold still, I couldn’t figure out how to change the exposure, and I was...
I just did a thorough scan of our Hallmark store and sadly there is not a “sorry your wife is a train wreck” section.
Mo will just have to accept a handmade construction paper card with stick figure drawings.
I was originally signed up to do 8:30am Pure...
After the events of last night, that would’ve been ugly.
Dear Raleigh...
75 degree nights and amazing concerts. Let’s never change.
Feeling very lucky. Right now.
Soooooo excited to see O.A.R. downtown tonight!!

Am I the only one that worries when eating watermelon that if you swallow the seeds a watermelon plant will grow in your stomach?
What? No one else’s parents blatantly lied to them in their youth?

Ummm.. I should probably apologize right now at how technologically challenged I am. I keep noticing that people somehow distinguish their instagram photos, from photos they take with say, their canon camera. I don’t know how to do that, so I apologize profusely if I have angered instagram and their people in any way. It is not intentional, it is that I have NO idea what I am doing.
Hugs.
It is reportedly going to hit around 102 degrees...
If you need me I will be in my bathing suit in a bath tub filled with ice. I am not prepared for this kind of weather. At all.
Off to dinner at Mez to celebrate Mark finishing his boards today!
Ahhh the first of the MORT Dynasty to be done.. Tequila shots for everyone!
Ahhhh the weekend
This last weekend was perfect. 4th of July weekend was amazing, but I needed all last week to recover. This past weekend was so much fun and I actually managed to wake up feeling completely human this morning, progress!
Last night I took Mo to see Cirque de Soleil’s Alegria. The entire show was incredible and I highly recommend going to see it. I actually discovered a few things while we...

Its date night for the Johnsahebis! Off to see Cirque de Soleil!
It is the best feeling when you know you have made an amazing friend.
Lets Play a Game Called..
What is currently in your refrigerator?
I will go first.
About 30 pounds of BBQ and 50 hamburger buns, as well as MANY seven layer bars.
This does not make for a solid diet plan. But it will make for a good supper club meal. It needs to be removed from my fridge immediately. Save me from myself.
Vodka waters and so much fun with Jenny and Dean!
Can’t wait to see what happens for the rest of the night!!
