THTSALPACYF

We haven't had a good round of "Guess the Acronym" in awhile...I'll give you 24 hours to guess. :)

Another Reason to Love Target...

I may have mentioned that I love Target, but it is usually overshadowed on the blogs by my disdain for WalMart. Here is yet another reason that I love the buyers at Target:




Yes, that's right, an entire section dedicated to 80s movies!

They Love LA

I'm going to give them 2 bonus points for creativity. It would have been three if they had included the LA Kings :)

Gotta Love Technology!

I was visiting friends yesterday whose parents happen to live in a gated community. Typically gated communities are a hassle (even this one) but yesterday I was quite pleased with my experience.

I pulled up to the gate and had the following conversation with the guard:
Guard: Hi, how can I help you?
Me: I'm going to the (insert last name of family here) residence.
Guard: There are two (insert last name of family here) families.
Me: (Insert first names of parents here)
Guard: Ok, and your name?
Me: Jennifer (Yes, when I am asked my name, I say Jennifer 95% of the time)
Guard: Here you go.

And she hands me this:



The blacked out information is the address of the house I was going to and my license plate number which was picked up by the fancy license plate camera. (Please note the correct spelling of Jenn AND the directions to the house - how cool is that?!)

Things You Don't See Every Day 2

Is it weird that I want one?

Hanging by a Mom

My XM song titles only fit a maximum of 16 characters. I found this amusing:

A Trip to Rite Aid

Last night the hubby and I went to my Aunt and Uncle's house to play cards and Wii. My sister brought a bottle of the Rose Spumante we purchased last weekend for us to share. The only problem? She finished it before I got there! This resulted in a trip to Rite Aid inspired by Queen B's success at CVS.

Here's what was purchased by my drunk sister:


I use the word purchased very loosely as I actually paid for her drunken finds.

Over The Spill

As seen in Ontario Airport:

Margarine of Error

What's wrong with this picture?













I do not have the best cooking skills, but thankfully I knew that Mac' & Cheese takes exactly half a stick of margarine. Otherwise, I'd still be trying to measure it out!

Things that make you go hmmmm

This is an actual movie poster hanging in the local movie theater. Do you have any idea what it's about? (In this case I consider Google-ing cheating!) Does anyone else find it ironic that Neil Patrick Harris is with a unicorn?

Random Pondering of the Hubby

We were eating brunch at the Ontario Airport Saturday morning at Applebee's when Will shares this pondering...

Hubby: "Why isn't cantaloupe a melon?"
Me: "What?"
Hubby: "There's watermelon, honeydew melon, and just plain melon. Why not cantamelon?"

This is the guy you've all come to love (if you didn't already)! :)

These are the reasons I love him. Sorry there are no photos...the cell camera is still broken :( I'll send the hubby out to have it fixed after tomorrow's mass-texting.

Random Photo in CO

We were walking to the Rockies Game last night, the hubby looks over and sees this and says, "we need to take a picture for your blog, for Kim."

Kim, here you go!!

Random Items Found in Cars & Trunks

Biscuits in tupperware and various shopping bags and articles of clothing








DVD, No Rinse Shampoo (difficult to test it if it never leaves your trunk EHW!), can of pineapple, Bible, Nordstrom bag







Numerous pairs of shoes, EASY buttons, various bags, DVD player(?)











Soccer balls and flat iron

Yes, He's REALLY Wearing THAT!

This was taken in Aurora, CO. I actually made my mom circle back around so that I could take this photo...all in the name of the blog!

Never to Return

In unpacking boxes and organizing stuff last weekend, I came to the conclusion that I suck at returning stuff. Remember that second sewing machine that I wrote about in an earlier blog? Still in my possession and currently residing in my closet next to my original machine. If anyone can find a replacement foot, they can have my extra machine. In going through my closet (it's so big I still have room in it!) I find clothes with and without tags that I have never worn that I have owned for at least 6 months. I bought an onion chopper for my aunt...she didn't want it, I never returned it. The list goes on and on. I think my adversion to returning items stems from my time in retail...I hated processing returns then and I hate making them now.

Jury Duty

Remember how I got that jury summons for the week I was in the Dominican? Remember how I postponed it until July 2nd which I was certain was going to be a slow week at work? Remember how I ended up moving June 2nd? Well, it turns out that Chino is in San Bernardino County which means I am ineligible to serve jury duty in Riverside County. I'm heartbroken...really. :)

This led me to count the number of dwellings (houses, apartments, townhouses), cities, and counties I've lived in...ready?

Dwellings- 7 (9)
Morning Canyon house
Bramford Court house
DiamondGate townhouse
(Pasadena condo - Dad's - on occasion)
(Victorville house - Dad's - on occasion)
Corona apartment
Lake Elsinore house
Moreno Valley house
Chino townhouse (technically)

Cities - 5
Diamond Bar
Corona
Lake Elsinore
Moreno Valley
Chino

Counties - 3
Los Angeles
Riverside
San Bernardino

Ok, your turn!

What We Discovered at The Ponda Center:

My sistor took me to the Christina Aguilera concert on Monday for my birthday (thanks again sistor!). Here are our observations:

1. orange haired asian man - yes an asian man that tried to bleach his hair - orange was the result
2. horse lady - no joke, wearing riding pants and boots with a sweater...she was just missing the helmet
3. pretty black family - very attractive and wholesome mom, dad, and two sons. not snooty or trashy...quite the rarity it appears
4. dooney and burke - 12 year old girls carrying D&B purses...real ones...are you kidding me?!
5. the cutest gay couple ever!!!! They totally rocked out throughout the entire concert...we loved them!!!
6. the dads and boyfriends - all "forced" to tag along of course
7. brown high top converse - words cannot explain...
8. boob lady- one of her boobs is two of yours - this is not an exaggeration
9. green sweater vest - why is it that the Ponda Center thinks green sweater vests are a good look for their ushers?
10. wannabe christina next to me and her high on drugs husband - She looked like a bad impression of Gwen Stefani...Christina is going for the classy look right now (thankfully! I hated the dirrty phase) and this chick was a little too funky...much more Gwen. no comment on the husband...they both annoyed me
11. "its starting and no one is here... thats the oc for you" - concert started at 7:30...Danity Kane and PCD opened...that took an hour. It wasn't until after the PCDs started that most of the seats were filled...seriously?!
12. moms in their 18 year old daughters clothes - if you have to wonder whether they are mom/daughter or sisters, that's a bad sign.
13. lesbian he-she two rows in front of us - she made a particular vendor of mine look feminine
14. black lady with hooker boots, booty shorts, and vest to match - for some reason I can't remember this chick
15. moms buying their 14 year old daughters Pussy Cat Doll sweatshirts that read "Loosen up my buttons" - HELL NO! would my daughter be allowed to wear ANYTHING that said Pussy or Loose prior to her 18th birthday, nor would I EVER buy it for her.
16. quick - compare Britney to Christina - who's laughing now? Christina was absolutely beautiful and that girl has pipes!!! Poor, poor Britney!

Possibly one of the coolest things ever...

Does loving this product make me strange?

Seriously...isn't it amazing?

The marketing could be a little better though...they show an old lady, but I think of other things...no nail breaking, no early AM struggling, HUGE time saver, the list goes on...
