Shannon's Crazy

What a wonderful day I’ve had. Yes, the very opposite from my last blog. Why was my day so wonderful you ask??? Well. Let me tell you. I was at the grocery store, again, and I see a bunch of pink balloons and a whole pink display for Breast Cancer Awareness month. I ALWAYS buy the pink products. I can’t help myself. I LOVE PINK and anything to do with breast cancer awareness.

So I stroll on over to the display. I see pink cookies, pick chip clips (bought them), pink pens, AND…

A PINK SNUGGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

OMG! I can’t believe it. Of course I buy one. I was seriously contemplating buying more but realized Dougie probably would think I was crazy. Crazier. But at least I got one!!!! There are soooooo many things I can finally do, that I NEVER could do before,  now that I have the Snuggie:

I can read:

I can file my nails:

I can Facebook:

I can talk on the phone:

I can eat corn on the cob:

And, of course, I can drink wine (NEVER could do that before):

The possibilities are endless!!!!

Spoiler Alert: This venting has a good ending.

Today was the worst day ever!!! Seriously. Here are the events, in order, of my day:

1. Took me an 1 hour and 45 minutes to get to school. I don’t understand why people cannot drive in the rain. Obviously you will have to drive a little slower! I saw like 50 cars hydroplane today. Ok I’m exaggerating. Only 25.
2. One of my friends, who I was supposed to pick up today on my way to work, due to her car troubles, very generously bought me a Starbucks. She sent it over, by student, and the first sip I take, seriously the FIRST, I spill down my white button down shirt. (Things you must invest in: Tide Stick To-Go)
3. Yay. I had music today with the students taught by another friend. Although, as I am walking out of the slippery cafe, my foot slips on a puddle and down I go on my knee, in front of 2 second grade classrooms AND the music teacher AND the other second grade teacher AND who knows who else lurking in the darkness, being right across from the office. (BTW, this is the same knee from the “House of Brews” night.)
   
   
   
   
4. THEN, during lunch, which is rainy day schedule BTW (means I get 30 minutes and have to go back to the room with the students where we have already been in for recess.) we are told there will be more cuts this year. Wonder if I’m going to get another pink slip?????
5. Finally, a few more things happen. Blah blah blah. I am NOT  a happy bunny.

So I drive home, not as bad as the morning. Whoopie! <—- Sarcasm. Realize that I’m supposed to celebrate my 3 year anniversary with my wonderful, marvelous, incredible husband. Trying to make my night go a little bit better then my day, I stop by Vons to pick up some dinner and wine (duh). REALLY REALLY REALLY trying to better my mood but everything just makes me mad. Women with shopping carts. Lame guy asking if I need help picking the cheese. Teenage girls dancing around the booze section. UGH.

Sooooo I’m walking up to the cash register, face all grumpy, when all of a sudden I see that the gentleman in front of me is purchasing a dozen long stem roses and a bottle of champagne. Sooooo cute and handsome and smelling really good. Who is this man you ask? Well…

MY hubbie.

Everything is right in the world.

This is what wordle.com thinks about shannonscrazy.com…funny. It says words like sing, song, singer, dance. Pretty right on. Oh yea and Dougie jealous. Hahaha!

I always knew I had a connection with Justin Timberlake. I mean come on.

1. I can sing. He can sing.
2. I can dance. He can dance.
3. I dress VERY nicely. He dresses very nicely.
4. I am good looking. He is good looking.

Seriously folks, these are some MAJOR similarities. BUT that is not all peeps. No way. I saw this picture this morning:

Can you believe it??? OMG! BOXERS!!!! We are like twinsies! Don’t worry Dougie’s not jealous or anything. He totally understands.

And now a photo montage of my Stella.

Tear.

I am in LOVE with Andy Samberg!!! Seriously. He is HIarious. Here is his new digital short:

I think we need to collaborate somehow…

1:  Does anyone else have very dry boogies from the Santa Ana’s???

2: The Office??? UGH!!!!! Sooooo disappointed…;(

Soooooo I tried. I REALLY did. I have guitar (I pronounce it geetar BTW) practice on Wednesday nights. So I asked my teacher to help me with this song called This is the Life. It’s by a Scottish singer named Amy MacDonald. Don’t worry there are no bagpipes in this song but am trying to get Dougie to start playing…

Anywhooo I tried recording with iMovie but it sounded a little like this:

THEN…I tried to record by using the video camera BUT it sounded like this:

Ugh! This may not happen people.

Stop smiling.

I’m off today! Whoohooooooooooo! Today is Yom Kippur!!!!!!!!!! I don’t know what Yom Kippur is BUT thanks for giving me the day off.

Sooooooo about this blog thing…I’m thinking about making it somewhat of a guitar blog. I’ve been learning to play the guitar since May. And I’m getting better but I need some kind of outlet, instead of just singing over and over again to Dougie. But it is a little embarrassing. But, hey, I’m almost 30!!!!!! I have embarrassed myself many times. Like this:

What do you peeps think???

YEA YEA! I know. I haven’t updated my blog in a VERY long time. Here’s the thing…ummm…well…

Let’s pretend this is me:

I’m like this little kitty. Very cute. Very precious. Very furry. Now, this little kitty, as you can see, is a hard working kitty. This little kitty has it’s thinking cap on.

So sometimes this little kitty needs a nice long nap, like this kitty:

Although, now, this kitty (me) really wants to get back into blogging and be a little more productive, like this kitty:

(Ok, well, that kitty is not really productive but really cute.)

Does everyone understand where I’m coming from???

MY POINT IS…I will start blogging again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So stop asking.

As most of you all know (meaning the 2 people that read this blog), my little baby sister is going to be getting married!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! No more Saenz girls…weird! So, of course, I had to throw her a small family get together. And to make it festive, Mama, Lisa and I went to Party City to decorate for the occasion. Here are some of the beautiful decorations:

And of course our favorite part, the chapel…

Needless to say Nikki and Nate were pleasantly surprised!

Definitely time for a little bit of the bubbly!

Very appropriate champagne gear.

And let’s not forget the heart shaped cheeseball!

(If anyone needs a cheeseball made into a special shape, I charge by the hour.)

Anywhoooo, after a wonderful dinner and a few more toasts, it was time to relax. And what a better way to relax then to have a few of Nikki’s BFF’s show up for a round of Rock Band AND (my fav) American Idol. Here we are at our best!

Some of the girls were a little shy.

Stella was a little shy, too.

All and all it was a fantastic celebration of love! All my wishes to my wee seester and my new brother!!! I love you guys!!! CONGRATULATIONS!
