Happy 30th Melina!!
I've known this beauty for 20 of her now 30 years and she hasn't changed a bit!
There are so many funny things I could say right now but then they're likely to be inside jokes and well we've been told a gazillion times how rude that is! (sorry girls!)
I will say this though, you can't meet Melina and not like her. She's the best friend a girl could have and I'm so blessed that we stayed so close :)
Well Min, we witnessed the miracle of life together 20 yrs ago in the cow champs!! Here's to more miracles for the next 20 years :) xo

Cute/ Retarded Trend Alert
Look at the hotness I'm sporting today!
It's my wannabe Kandee Johnson ring but in a more blinged out style.
Anywho I don't have much else to say about the ring other than it looks cute on but is really uncomfortable while typing, dialing, eating, drinking, and I imagine smoking would be "a handful" baha.
However it should be noted that the ring swerves wonderfully for waving, hand modeling, and detangling & simultaneously tangling your hair.
Love,
Your fashionably challeged L-Bo.

Oh kwismuss Tree Oh kwismuss Tree...
It's by sheer coincidence that myX-mas decorations match my new sofas.
(I got them last year!)
Check out my home made lantern! Made from expensive dollar store scrap booking paper and scotch tape... actually I ran out of tape so i used the sticky paper from a lint brush! Classy!
I wanted to hang a star lantern above the tree but I was too cheap to buy one at Ikea! Kinda regretting it now. lol
I don't know if that's a partridge but I stuck in there anyways :)
Can't wait to see what the tree looks like with all the prezzies under it!

Oldie but goodie
Since I'm banned from dressing Finnegan ever again and since Finnegan runs and hides the second I get close to his tickle trunk, I'm forced to post old pics and vids of him looking all dapper, and prancer ;)

Your Daily Finny & Youtube
My Finny loves youtube...something I did not know.
I've never seen him so quiet and so confused :)
The only time he freaked out was when I put his video up... he's so critical of himself. Anyways after a few Pommie vids, I decided to put the snoring baby duck (a personal fave) and he loved him!! So this is good news, means I can get a duck. Then I tried the baby pig, not as receptive... so no pig.

He's politically incorrect and proud of it

Comedian and political talk show host Bill Maher has survived much more than his Catholic upbringing, including a controversy or two that would have dropped lesser mortals off the public airwaves for good.
By September 2001, his show "Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher," which began in 1993, was winning awards and regularly raking liberals, conservatives and other public figures over the comedic coals.
But days after the terrorist attacks on the East Coast, Maher made a public comment that rocked even the Americans who'd forgiven him for "Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death":
"We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away," he said. "Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly."
The remark prompted public outrage, and sponsors jumped ship. Maher was unrepentant.
"All I did was tell the truth. That's what the whole show is about!" he said. "And if 'Politically Incorrect' has to go down for it, so be it!"
The show was canceled the following year - the same year in which Maher received the Los Angeles Press Club's highest honor for championing free speech.
And, by 2003, Maher was triumphantly back on the air and controversial as ever, hosting "Real Time with Bill Maher" on HBO.
He also stirred things up with the 2008 comic/documentary film "Religulous," which explored world religions.
Maher, of course, makes no secret of his leanings on the topic.
"Religious people don't need to be ethical, because religion is mostly about salvation," he's been quoted as saying.
"It's about closing your eyes, very tightly, and believing in someone so much, without question, that when you die he will save your ass.
"Religion is about saving your ass. And that ain't ethical."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He said what?
Maher detractors say he spends his air time backing liberal causes and taking stabs at tea partiers, the government in general and all religious institutions.
Here are a few quotes attributed to Bill Maher that might surprise you:
•Things aren't right. If a burglar breaks into your home and you shoot him, he can sue you. For what, restraint of trade?
•There is no greater model, in my view, than Jesus Christ.
•Everything that used to be a sin is now a disease.
•I think capital punishment works great. Every killer you kill never kills again.
•We have the Bill of Rights. What we need is a Bill of Responsibilities.
•We need more people speaking out. This country is not overrun with rebels and free thinkers. It's overrun with sheep and conformists.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAHER ME, BILL

I know what you're thinking
And you're right... I totally need an area rug now.
As you can see, the Brick came through and delivered
the couches as promised between the hours of 2-5 yesterday. And when I say between 2-5pm, I literally mean 5 to 5pm. Anywho a Bubbles look/ sound alike came up to see the old couch, asked me what was wrong with it, it looks totally fine... Are you kidding me right now? If you don't like my answer are you going to refuse to bring up my new sofa's? Are we on that undercover boss show or something?
Anyways after some hooing and hawing they took the old couch and ottoman :(
My big plan of hiding it and the side chair didn't pan out... but it's totally fine because I love love love my new sofa's and love the fact that I will never ever have to deal with these people ever again so help me jah!

Seafoam is Sofa King Awesome
Thanks for your votes!
But I coulnd't wait a few days, I called the Brick last night and exchanged my Preston for the Seafoam. I'm really psyched about the switch and love the fact that if I hate the couches in a year from now I have you 7 to blame!
I'm just kidding, I love them too, I wouldn't have exchanged them otherwise. I just have to think outside the box for decorating ideas for the future. I'm leaning towards a touch of Orange and Grey in the futre abode. Until then, my current place is going to be girlie girl overkill. With purple walls and jazzy wallpaper, glitzy lamps and frilly pillows all I need is an ovulation calendar and tampon dispenser and I'd have the biggest man repellent the likes of this world has ever seen. Looks like we'll be hanging out in Curtis' man cave for awhile ;)
Delivery is this Saturday so I will for shiz post pics once I figure out how and where everything is going to go.

Sofa King Amazing!!!
So Curtis and I went to meet store manager Ken Thrasher at the Brick last night. We were pretty shocked to see that he was normal and our age-ish... well more Curt's age, as I'm a whole 5 years younger... But I digress.
Anyways I got the deal of a lifetime! Curtis and I sat on one of my selections while the guys were crunching numbers and came up with our own deals. Saying we won't accept anything under this, or if they come back with this amt I'm going to laugh in their faces...etc. Well we totally wasted our time because they came back with a really solid offer, I'm basically getting both couches for the price of one and I think I'm actually making money off this.
Here's the dilemma though, because you know there gotta be a dilemma in all this... I had two couch selections. One is that Preston collection I posted a while back... I'll repost below, and the other is I think the Cindy Crawford Aqua couches that have been there for a while but I still really like them and they're mega comfortable. Curtis preffered them as well but last night I only had eyes for Preston and this morning I can't seem to figure out why I would purposefully miss the opportunity to own seafoam colored sofa's with the hub's approval? Has my love for Preston skewed my perception?
I have a few days where I can change my mind... I'm creating a voting botton on the side bar and leaving it in the hands of you 5 loyal readers and you, the German and Nordic peeps that keep google imaging Swing Kids and landing on my blog for some reason. Chose wisely folks, the fate of my living room lies in your hands!
