Today I salute the Beach Cruiser!

Today I salute the greatness of the California Beach Cruiser! They are beautiful, vintage in model, and in my opinion, a necessity living in paradise! I am determined to have one next summer so I can ride bikes with my kids. They should be plenty old enough to keep up with me by then, and I love the workout! Living 2 miles from the beach provides us with zero excuses to get out into the sun and have fun as a family! My problem is that im torn between two bikes. I need help in deciding which bike best fits my personality. I am head over heels for Betty, the black beauty with hot pink and silver flames. Its reminiscent of a 1950's hot rod that a tough pinup would be proud to sit on. My sisters, however, think that my personality is best suited to riding on Minx, the ultra cool leopard print bike that oozes sex appeal and fiesty attitude. They tell me Betty is not for me, but I have to disagree. Am I being delusional? Is Betty not at all my type? I need feedback people! You will determine which bike I get, and specify WHY you think it fits me?...HELP A SISTA OUT!

Today I salute Melissa Marr

Last week I finished the third book of Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely series...It was strange,enchanting, gothic, and well thought out. I loved them all, and hope she continues to add to this series of books. She is a new young adult author, who brings to life a world of disturbing Faeries that linger alongside unsuspecting mortals. Wicked Lovely, Ink Exchange (my personal favorite), and Fragile Eternity are three very cool fantasy books guaranteed to give Stephanie Meyer a run for her money. I give it 4 out of 5 stars...If you're into Fantasy folklore and have a uterus, these books are for you.

ROLLER DERBY NIGHT!!

To celebrate Kasi's 30th birthday, we decided to have one of my famous theme parties. This years awesome party was entitled ROLLER DERBY! We all made shirts, coordinated outfits and accessories, did our hair as anime as possible, painted ourselves with bruises..and away we went to the nearest skating rink! We had the best time!! We each had a derby girl name, also..I was Betty Rage from the Pinups of Pain Derby Dames. Kasi was Audrey Hipburn from the Starlit Brawl Derby Dolls. Kylee was Eva Destruction from the Derby Divas of Disaster. And Crystal was Angela Death from the Angel Face Derby Devils. Everyone was so into our costumes, and we met a ton of people. I got the first and only injury of the evening when I was going too fast to stop correctly, tumbling over the carpet and rolling into the ladies room door. My fishnets stuck to my icky bloody rug burn the rest of the night. I didn't complain tho, because I had an authentic injury! Woot! Later on we went and took a walk along Main St, to BJ's for a birthday Pizookie (pizza-cookie) and thought for sure we would either be picked up for soliciting or causing mayhem, by the look of our outfits. We didnt, luckily...But we had an amazing time!

Today I salute Soup Bread Bowls

My youngest daughter and I have a biweekly date to BJ's Restaurant to share a Broccoli Cheese Soup Sourdough Bread Bowl. We take a walk down Main street looking in all the shops before reaching our destination, by the beach. Its something we both really look forward to, and the soup bowls are soooo yummy! Whoever invented this tasty creation deserves free massages for life and possibly an unlimited gas card. I'm just sayin.....
