Vodka Infused Gummy Bears?

Apparently this is another thing I'm a day late and a buck short on. Who knew gummy bears were these spongy alcohol absorbing little mounds of joy?

Sales Clerk at Staples: Gummy Bears? Nice.
Me: Yeah! My friend was telling me about how you can soak them in Vodka...
Sales Clerk at Staples: Oh yeah, it's really good. You have to let them sit there for like a week to make sure they're fully absorbed, but be careful, they're pretty dangerous when you eat too many.
Me: Am I the last person to know about this?
Sales Clerk at Staples: You know... you can put vodka in Jello too?

Thanks. I was showed up by the Sales Clerk at Staples. Vodka Jello, I'll have to try that too.

I want.

I know, I know, they've been in every mag from here to forever... not to mention they're the new "charm" bracelet and everyone and their mother will have one, but there's still something so sweet and secret garden-y about giving someone the key to your heart.

I know this goes against my New Years Resolution of Posting every week... but with all the Brackets, Graphics and Sponsors, I don't have the mental capacity to post this week.

Perhaps one of the best understated movies of our time...

me: Really?? youve never seen newsies?

G: nope. i know, sacrelige.

me: and you call yourself gay.

G: hahaha

Newsies is a 1992 Disney musical starring... drumroll... a very young and drool-able Christian Bale, Bill Pullman who is awesome & Robert Duvall.

Based on the true story of the newsboys strike in 1899 in old town NYC, the story follows two of the newsboys who play an integral role in organizing and unionizing.

"In 1899, the streets of New York City echoed with the voices of newsies, peddling the newspapers of Joseph Pulitzer, William Randolph Hearst, and other giants of the newspaper world. On every corner you saw them carrying the banner, bringing you the news for a penny a paper. Poor orphans and runaways, the newsies were a ragged army, without a leader. Until one day, all that changed..."

It's a wonderful musical romp that is sure to leave an impact on the 100 of us out there who have seen it.

omj has it already been 2 years?

Monday S & I celebrated our 2 year anniversary, and in true old people fashion we stayed in, had a late dinner, watched GREEK, then S worked for a few hours while I fell asleep reading on the couch. No drunken debauchery, sunsets on the beach, playing badminton in the parking lot, and romancing the hell out of a hotel room in Laguna...

When did I get so old? Serious relationship old?

If you'd asked me before I met S, what I thought my 20's would be like... I would have replied, full of boys and booze and to be honest I was living the dream right up until I met my new destiny.

This past weekend was S's 30th birthday & we went out in Hermosa. I noticed myself doing a very obvious thing, constantly scanning and checking out guys at the bar. My friends thought I was distracted & tired, and constantly tried to rile me up, but really, my eyes were flicking back and forth so fast it gave me a headache.

I love S dearly, but I do think part of me was cut off in my prime, and I feel the need to live vicariously through my single girlfriends, AND since they happen to be wussy about talking to guys, I really can play both parts. I can be the singular and faithful girlfriend, while at the same time, the carefree, fun loving and flirty wingman.

So what's the conclusion of my non-requiter rant? My girlfriends need to get off there asses and have tons of giddy, gossipy fun so I don't feel like an old married person.

** I would like to note, I love my boyfriend and my old married person relationship, it just all took me very much by surprise.
