Happy May Day

Let me start out with a confession, I have had no clue what Mayday was until about 5 minutes ago... luckily for me Wikipedia did :)

"Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject, so you know you are getting the best possible information. "- Micheal Scott

So according to this superior source May Day is celebrated by making May baskets, which are usually filled with flowers or treats and left at someones doorstep. The basket giver would ring the bell and run away. The person receiving the basket would try to catch the fleeing giver. If they caught the person, a kiss was to be exchanged.

People also celebrate this lovely day by creating Maypoles.

Didn't you dream of Maypoles as a kid? I did.

On another note I did a google image search for "Happy May Day" and this popped up. hehe Happy May Day to you and yours!

Plagiarizing Pizza Port

Back in the day when Danny was still going to school in San Diego he introduced me to a little place dubbed Pizza Port. I am in love with Pizza port, and at times I find myself longing for our LDR (long distance relationship) days. Sure, the miles and miles of barren desert between us was hard, but the pizza was oh-so good.

Here we are at the actual port. We went there with Danny's Fam right after his graduation.

Sometimes when I am craving a pesto chicken pizza something fierce, I try and plagiarize it by doing this:
(Because I wish I was pioneer woman, here are the ingredients)

Mozzarella, feta, pesto, sun dried tomato, artichoke heart, pre-made pizza dough (I get mine from sunflower), and cooked chicken breast.

In non-pizzaport form I also made these for good measure- garlic butter ball thingies. I just took the extra pizza dough, rolled it into several small balls and poured melted butter, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning on them. Then I threw this buttery deliciousness into a 350 degree oven until they were golden.

They were good, real good. Moving on

After the pizza dough rises I roll it out, sprinkle some garlic powder on it, and bake in a preheated oven for about ten minutes. This puts the dough on the fast track to becoming a full blow crust, I guess it could be called teenager dough at this point.

Next, I take it out of the oven and spread the pesto, artichoke hearts, and sun dried tomatoes on. This is when I realize my chicken is still raw.

DANG!

I should probably just give up cooking. 20 minutes later-I add the now cooked chicken, and cheeses, pop the pizza into a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes, and relax (or wash dishes).

Maybe I didn't wash the dishes. Maybe I spent those 20 minutes watching the office, and dreaming about the finished product- which is supposed to have a picture

but I accidentally deleted it. Use your imagination and know that this pizza is really, really, intensely yummy!

This Mug

Is adorable.

my mouth wants to drink coffee out of it every morning.

Blisterin'

I know it has just begun, but year after year I get incredibly surprised when our gorgeous spring hitches a ride up North, and summer begins to rear its sweltering head!

This years summer awaking happened yesterday afternoon while I was playing catch with my lil bro'. All was well in the backyard until out of nowhere I suddenly began to melt like the wicked witch of the west!

I am not ready for 100+ degrees, I am not looking forward to a burning hot steering wheel, and I certainly have not been properly conditioned for the dreaded bathing suit! Maybe I can avoid getting into one this year.... Antarctica anyone?

Furthermore, the Border Collie is practically begging for his summer hair-do (which was an insanely cool Mohawk last year).

Needless to say I am looking forward to this weekend in Denver where Danny & I will be enjoying this:

Don not be surprised if you don't see me again until Fall! ;)

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy 26th Falon!!!!!

Does your back hurt? cause you're gettin OOOOLLLLLDDD

Luckily you are like wine my friend, and are only getting better with age!

Sorry that this camera ate your face.

Thanks for being such a bomb side kick!

Wasn't 25 a fun year? Remember when we both got Terrible fevers? Horrible fevers! Blistering fevers.... and the only cure for those fevers were "TACK"

Senior citizen stores+Falon= socks getting rocked off.

P.S. I think you are the best ninja I know.

Seriously, I warned Bruce Lee.

P.S.S. Pauly Shore thinks you are dead sexy at 26!

P.S.S.S. I can't wait to get down and celebrate with you!!

Fal, Here's to you- Cheers to another year!

Biiiirdman and the Oaf

Are you ready to be introduced to two of the most fantabulous beings in the universe?

(at least my Universe)

These fella’s, Burton or “Biiirrrddd-Man” and Nolan

I just love these big, hairy, slobbery, and in Nolan's case noisy creatures. They have seriously been the source of hours of entertainment.

Specifically this mangy monkey! He is incredibly gifted, and can sit-shake-highfive-laydown-rollover & repeat all in one hasty movement. He can also open doors, cabinets and drawers.... oh and he'll eat two dozen chocolate chip cookies like a champ!

Yes, I am one of those annoying people who talks about their dogs like Children. But don’t fret, one day I will have kids, my dogs will be just dogs, and the world will once again be right.

But for now.........

So Sunday was your birthday, and I'm singin in my head....

This last Sunday, April 5th was a VERY important day.... Ms. Rhonda Cooper joined the 26 Club!

HAPPY BELATED B-DAY RHONDA!

You are my dawg-and sister :)

Thanks for being such a great friend, and always keepin it real. You are the bomb Digity!

I seriously don't know what my life I would be like without you... I mean who else would get smashed by camera's with me?
AND who would be there to deliver a swift kick to my lip on my birthday?

Most importantly, who would discuss the quality sitcoms of the past with me for hours on end?

(specifically Rock)

Thanks for being a rad BFF.

Oh - here is Air Bud

He wanted to wish you a happy birthday too!

BUTTCHEEKS
