Keep Austin Weird!

The ladies from Harried Mom of Four, Impulsive Addict, JennyKate's Spot, Seriously Shawn, The Texas Darlings and The V-Spot just spent a fun weekend in Austin, Texas.

Keepin' Austin Weird from Rebecca Darling on Vimeo.
Keep Austin Weird is Austin's slogan... so the six of us tried to do our part!  We shared our senses of humor, a lot of laughs and a ton of off the cuff comments {some too inappropriate to share here}. We decided to write down the funny comments that were said and turn them into a contest for all of our readers. The winner will receive Austin souvenirs, picked out by all six of us.
The contest is very easy. Below you will find six quotes. Match up the quote with who you think said it.  For example, if you think blogger A was the person who said quote #4, your answer is A=4. Leave your match-ups for A-F in ONE comment.

This contest is running on all six blogs, but there is no need to leave multiple entries, but go and visit all of these fab ladies. At the end of the contest, the reader with the most correct answers (or ties for the most correct answers) from each blog will have their name entered in a drawing. The random drawing will be held on Friday June 3rd and the winner will be announced that same day. (Then they can watch their mail box for the six separate little Austin-gifts that will be coming their way...)
Sounds fun, yes?   Here we go...

A. Becca- The Texas Darlings

B. JennyKate- JennyKates Spot

C. Jen-Harried Mom of Four

D. Vivienne- The V-Spot

E. Seriously Shawn

F. Impulsive Addict

Who said it...?
1.} Well clearly he wants to play a game called Just The Tip!
2.} Oh, that's even worse sober!
3.} He looks like a porn-star with that phony-tail and a 9th grade mustache!
4.} I'd rather be juvenile than an old fart!
5.} I think I just peed on my shoes a little.
6.} I don't know how to knick-knack my house so I don't know how to knick-knack me.


Have fun and good luck!
Here are some more quotes, just because they're too funny to go unmentioned!
* Did I shower last night? {Vivienne}
* No more free drinks! {JK}
* Ooh my sphincter! {Shawn}
* We brought the flats {Mimi & Mamarazzi out last night but they got wet. {Becca}
* I've always wanted fallopian tube art! {Vivienne}
* We had pizza last night...right? {Vivienne}
* I can't get it in the hole, Shawn. {JK}
* I might have just tinkled a little. {JK}
* I just drank matches. {IA}
* Tapas? I don't want to go to a topless restaurant! {Shawn}
* When I get waxed I yell Bradley Cooper! {Shawn}
* Either I'm in a disco or this room is spinning. {JK}
* Well if the spasm is from an orgasm than it's a good spasm! {Shawn}
* Walk away while you still can Tony Rogers {a comedian we ran into while having pizza at 4 in the morning}, we will suck you in! {JK}
* Asms are good, it's the isms you need to stay away from! {Porn star waiter who clearly was listening to our conversation!}

We Want To Know Wednesday : Musts

I am linking up once again with Shawn, Impulsive, Mama, and Janette for their nosey-azz questions.


This week, Shawn came up with these fabulous "MUST" questions:


1.} What must you do before you go to bed at night?  I MUST take my make-up off and brush my teeth, AND I must read on my Kindle or iPhone.  I can't go to sleep until I do...it's like a soothing lullaby.


2.} What is one thing you must snack on at the theater?  Um, not really any MUSTS, but I do love Hot Tamales!


3.} Before going on vacation what must you do?  I MUST have a clean house.  I HATE coming home from vacay to a dirty house.  Not happening!


4.} What is one thing you must do every day?  So many things...um, where to start?  I don't know how to pick just one.  Pray, drink coffee, interact in social networks, give Isaiah lots of hugs and kisses, laugh (TOTAL MUST), be a dork ('cause I can't help myself), take vitamins, call my granny...


5.} Is there something you do that must be done in a particular order? Yeah, lots of things, but I'll use showering for example...I always always always start with my hair, shampoo it, wash my face, rinse my hair and my face all at the same time, put conditioner in my hair, lather up, wash, shave, and then rinse my hair and everything else.  In that order.  No variations.

Friday Confessional 05.20

 I confess that there was a creepy repair guy fixing our air conditioner at our office last week and he kept staring at me.  So, I did this.

Worked like a charm.  Problem solved.  Full-size Edward has SO many uses.

He fixed our A/C in record time.

I confess that every time I see the Magnum Ice Cream commercial I think of condoms.  Do you think that was the marketing strategy they were going for?

I confess that while you're reading this, I'm roadtrippin' with Impulsive and we're on our way to meet up with Seriously Shawn, Becca from The Texas Darlings, Vivienne from The V Spot, and Jen from Harried Mom of 4!  I really can't put into words just HOW excited I am to be meeting all of these lovelies in PERSON.  Seriously.  It's too much.  I'm so stoked...I feel like dropping every 90's adverb in my vocabulary...it's the bomb...the bomb.com...the bombdiggity...rad...2legit2quit...it's totally going to rock.

I also confess that I posted over at The RHOK today...an archive worth re-reading!

Hope you all have super fabulous Fridays!!

We Want To Know Wednesday : Week 5

 
I'm linking up once again for my mid-week-blogging-fix with Impulsive, Shawn, Mamarazzi, and Jannette for WWTKW!
 {1} If you could choose a Super Power, what would it be?

I'd be invisible.  It'd be way cool.

{2} What would be your first frivolous purchase if you were awarded a million dollars, tomorrow?

A one-way plane ticket to Europe...return date TBD.

{3} What would be the hardest current luxury for you to give up?

I'm pretty fond of indoor bathrooms and electricity.  I also am not in favor of giving up my iPhone, Internet, or satellite television (including the DVR...we're BFFs).

I know that's more than one, but my blog, my rules.

{4} If you were given a choice between being given great wisdom and great wealth, which would you choose?

I'll take the wisdom.  Thanks.

{5} If you were to be stranded on a deserted island for 100 days what 5 THINGS would you pack?

1. A hammock - I don't like sleeping on the ground
2. My life-size Edward Cullen (I can't let LBB one-up me)
3. My Kindle (LOADED to the brim with downloads)
4. A solar power source for said Kindle
5. A knife and LOTS of matches (I know that's two, but I had to squeeze Edward in there)

We Want To Know Wednesday : Week 4

I'm linking up once again for my mid-week-blogging-fix with Impulsive, Shawn, Mamarazzi, and Jannette for WWTKW!

This week's questions are brought to us by the lovely Jannette from Est 5.26.07 ~ The Johanson Journey.

She wants to know...

1. What game show have you always thought you could be on and totally WIN!

Hmmm...I think I would do pretty good on the Singing Bee, as long as they stick to 90's hip-hop/rap, hairbands, and country.


2. Do you have a tattoo(s)? What are they and what made you chose them? If not, would you get one, yes/no/why?
 
Holy shiz.  This is where I lose followers.
 
Wellllll...yes, I have tattoos.  3 of them.  They are:
1. A cresent moon and two stars on my left foot.  A blue star for Michael (his birthstone is a sapphire) and a red star for Isaiah (his birthstone is a garnet)

2. The phrase "frequently dazzled" with an apple and "sparkles" on my left side (on my rib area)...the saying is from Twilight and the apple of course is also from Twilight...and the sparkles are...um, well...from the sparkly vampires of Twilight.

3. A Mockingjay on my back between my shoulder blades...the Mockingjay is a fictional bird from the Hunger Games Trilogy.  If you wanna read more about why I picked it, you can read THIS.

3.  What is your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? 

My wedding ring.  It's the piece of jewelry I've had the longest.  I don't buy expensive jewelry, so it's the most valuable thing I wear.

BUT I also really love this cuff bracelet and I wear it more than I should.

4. What is your driving pet peeve(s)?

People driving slow in the fast lane.  Pisses me off.

5. What was your favorite sitcom growing up that you wish was still on?
 
From the 80's - The Cosby Show.  Bill is hilarious.

 
From the 90's - Seinfeld.  We still watch the re-runs and used to have every episode recorded to VHS tapes.

In Your Neck Of The Woods: A Gaggle of Geese and a Crazy Man

Things have been a little stressful in my neck of the woods.

My Granny is in the hospital and I've been staring at a lot of white walls lately. (prayers appreciated)

But last week, I was out at lunch and caught this on my iPhone...

Do you see the gaggle of geese?  I think they were wanting a Big Mac and a few Happy Meals.  I tried to get closer, but the one leading the pack hissed at me.  I took that as my cue to mind my own biznass.

Hallelujah!

Hope you all are having a great week so far!♥

Friday Confessional 05.06

 Being the (wannabe) gangsta that I am...I've had some brushes with the law lately.   I'm here to confess.

I confess that while out running errands for the office the other day I was feeling a little spunky.  The sun was shining.  I was wearing some CA-ute new sandles.  Warren G was pumpin' through my speakers.  loudly.  I had my window rolled down and I was sitting at the stop light.  There was a cop sitting in the QT parking lot across from me and I looked at him and did this...

I confess that as I pulled away from the stop light I kinda expected him to pull out behind me and pull me over, but he didn't.

I confess that I WAS pulled over the other day for driving like a Cullen.  87 in a 75.  That's not so bad, right?  AND my tag was expired.  Ooops.  I didn't know.  I'm serious.  He let me go with a warning.  Whew.

What do you confess?  Hop on over to Mamarazzi's and link up...spill yer guts!  It makes for good bloggin'!

We Want To Know Wednesday

 Fulfilling my promise to Impulsive...and linking up for the third installment of WWTKW hosted by Impulsive Addict, Seriously Shawn, Mamarazzi, and Janette!1. If money didn't matter, where would your perfect vacation take place? Briefly describe. Hmmm...a European Vacation.  Not like the Griswold's, but like JennyKate's European Vacation.  I would need a few weeks and I would rent a yacht and travel around the coast of France.  Perhaps, travel into Italy and visit the location where they filmed the Volturi/Italy scenes for New Moon.  Take a train to London and buy some old books.  Stop by Ireland and hang out in a pub for a day or two. 
2. What's a bad habit that you have {or ha} that is/was hard to break? being a fatty.  hard habit to break.

3. If you weren't on a diet or counting calories, what would you like to have for dinner tonight? a big HEAPING bowl of pasta with alfredo sauce and LOTS of parmesean cheese...and some bread...and a slice of cheesecake...and a captain and coke.

4. If you had the chance to interview anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be and what's one question that you would ask? Rob. Duh.  I would ask him if he was free for the night. ;)
5. Describe yourself in 6 words. bookworm-coffee-drinker-quirky-talkative-funhaver

Friday Confessional 04.29

Here I am, the one-trick-pony, once again surfacing in the blogosphere to link up with the one and only Mamarazzi for her Friday Confessional!

No preliminaries, just confessions...

I confess that I misbehaved in the theater last Friday night while watching Water For Elephants.

I confess that everytime Michael refers to Water For Elephants as Water For Donkeys I get irate!  Like I wanna scratch his eyeballs out.  He does it just to piss me off and get me all riled up.  He knows how to push my buttons.

I confess that I might have peed my pants in the parking lot of Abuelo's.  Just a little.

I confess that I laugh at inappropriate times.  Often.  The more I try to stop, the more I laugh.  I also do other inappropriate things that we won't discuss on the blog.  Today.

I confess that I'm just a little excited (ok, a lot) about the season premiere of Jerseylicious!  Love those hookers!

I confess that I have a crush on Scotty and I'm glad he didn't go home last night on AI.  Whew.  That was close.  I've gotta up my voting game.  Who's your fav?

Hope you all have a super fab Friday!! 

We Want To Know Wednesday : A little bit of random

I'm linking up today for week 2 of WWTKW!  Joining Impulsive, Shawn, Mamarazzi, and Jannette in some mid-week fun!

Thank the Lord for link-up parties, because I might never make a blog post.

I'm becoming a one trick pony. I'll try to rectify that. After I finish my next fan fic. Soon.

On with the show...

1.} What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex? Are you an eyes or a smile person? Maybe another body part?

Welllllll, I think I notice eyes first...and then I scan down to check out other parts *achem*...then I eventually make my way back up to their eyes...and jaw line...and hair. I love good hair.

2.} If a movie was being made about you, who would you like to see cast to play you? And would your movie be a comedy, drama, romantic-comedy, action film or a horror movie?

I think I would like Sara Rue to play me...she's quirky and funny and a natural redhead. 

It would definitely be a comedy w/ a romantic flair.

3.} Does your high school yearbook include a senior comment section? If so, share what you said about your future goals. Have you met those goals? If you do not have a yearbook, just share what your goals were when you were 18 and if you have met them. If you’re brave enough, include your Senior picture!

So, this was funny to look back on.  You kinda forget what your 18 year old self was thinking back then...makes me laugh. 

My goals were...and I quote..."Attend Southwestern A/G University or OU and major in psychology or education (apparently I like to leave myself with options), wait for Alan to get back (<----I totally forgot about this guy...'til yesterday), and see what happens! "

Thanks to IA for hookin' me up with some yearbook info. 

In case you're wondering, Alan was my (much older) boyfriend, who lived in Norman (where I went to school at OU and majored in Elem Education).  I had met him the summer between my Jr and Sr year.  I was head-over-heels for him, but turns out he was a womanizer/girlanizer.  We were ova about a month after school started.  Note to 18 year old self:  You shoulda dumped him WAY before then.  Your senior year would have been a LOT more fun.

For your entertainment...my senior pic...kinda blurry due to it being a picture from the yearbook courtesy of IA! 

4.} What latest trend simply baffles you?

I'm not really into the rompers...I thought those went out of style when we were 5?!

5.} When you walk into a room how do you present yourself? Do you walk in with confidence and command the attention of others or do you slink in and do your best to go unnoticed?

I think I try to blend...unless it's my party, then of course, I feel in control.  Otherwise, I usually just try to mingle with people I know until I get acquainted with any new people.

This was fun, Shawn!

Be sure to stop by one of the hosts' blogs and link up!!

Friday Confessional 04.22

I'm linking up once again with the cute-headband-wearin-red-vines-eatin-pink-lovin Mamarazzi. 




You should too.  If you say you don't have anything to confess, I call BS.  You're lying.  And you know where liars go don't you?  Coweta.  Yep.  And you don't want to go there.

I confess that I'm over-the-moon-beyond-excited about Water For Elephants being in theaters TODAY!!! 

I also should confess that I'm green with envy of anybody and everybody who has already seen it.  Our stupid theaters didn't have a midnight showing.  Lame.  If you've seen it, don't tell me.  I'll cut a b*tch.  I swear. 

kidding.

Ok, not really.

I confess I take my Rob Pattinson business very serious.

I confess that I've been writing love notes to Rob in my new notebook that Mimi made me.

I confess that I'm planning on fangirling a lot tonight.  I hope my friends are prepared for the ridiculousness that is me in a theater where Rob is on the big screen.  It's their first time.  They're JK-in-a-theater-where-Rob-is-on-the-big-screen virgins.  Hope it's as good for them as it is for me. ;)

Well, I'm sure there are some confessions up in here somewhere that are non-WFE related, but my brain is all hazy with anticipation...so, this all you get this week. 

Hope you all have stellar weekends!!  *muah*

We Want To Know Wednesday : Friends

I'm linking up today for the first ever WWTKW with Impulsive Addict, Mamarazzi, Shawn, and Janette. This should be a fun mid-week meme...hopefully keeping me out of hiatus status, so I stay off of Impulsive's "big trouble" list. Each week there will be a new set of questions for us to answer on our blogs and link up with the Fab Four!

Let's get started... (cue the video for some scrolling/reading music...my theme song for this post.)

Band of Skulls - Music - More Music Videos

Yep,  my friends are beautiful.  Wanna hear about them?  Here it goes...

IA, M, S, and J asked us to answer these Q's about our friends:

1. Do you make friends easily?  Um, yeah.  I think I do.  I'm social and pretty easy to get along with.  I seem to have friends from every area/era of my life, so I think that equates to making friends easy.
2. What 3 qualities are a MUST in a friend? 1 - honesty/trust.  You just can't have a good solid friendship without that.  2 - humor/fun.  I am a fun-haver...and I love to laugh, so if we can't do those things, our friendship is likely to be short-lived.  3 - common interests.  Let's face it without things to talk about or things to enjoy together, can you really have a "friendship"?  I think not. 
3. What makes YOU a good friend? I'm loyal and trustworthy.  I LOVE to have a good time...and I have no shame in sacrificing my own dignity to make that happen.  If we're friends once, we're friends for life.
4. Have you ever met a bloggy friend in real life? Yes? Tell us about the meet up. No? Who would you love to meet? So, yes.  I've met several blogging/online friends.  The first person I ever met from the blogging world was Melissa.  She used to be a regular blogger on a blog called The Crazy Daisy.  You can read about my trip to Denver to surprise her for her birthday HERE.  I've also met Julia from Brainella.  We met up at the Starbucks in Owasso while she was here with her family visiting family.  We talked non-stop and had a great time!  Of course, I've met all of The RHOK ladies, who I met through blogging and a few of them ended up coming to my first Twilight premiere party I threw for New Moon.  The rest is history.  Plus, I've met a lot of bloggers through our RHOK Outs.  Meeting bloggers is a favorite pastime!  I can't wait for next month when I get to hang out with Impulsive, Shawn, Becca, Vivienne, and Jen for a couple of days in Austin!!  It's going to be epic!
5. Who is your best friend? Tell us about them. I kinda hate this question.  I don't like putting my friends in categories, per say.  However, I'll answer to the best of my ability.

First, there is Jordana.  She is one of my oldest friends.  We've shared a million and one experiences together...the good, the bad, and the ugly.  We've known each other since grade school, but we've been best friends since I was in the 9th grade.  We went our separate ways at college...she attended OSU and I attended OU.  You would think that would have been a deal breaker, but we managed to stay tight although we attended rivaling universities.  We both married Michaels.  She's always been there for me...maid of honors at each others weddings, births of our children, funerals, etc...and although we don't see each other in person as much as we would like, I know she would be there for me, no matter what...and she knows the same is true for her.

Then, there is Trisha.  We met through blogging...and we've never met in person.  BUT she's my person.  She is who I tell my deepest darkest secrets to...like how much I weigh, and the dream I had last night involving Rob Pattinson and a volvo.  We talk on the phone occasionally, but we keep up with each other's daily lives through text.  We like share the same soul.  She's a kindred spirit.  I swear most of our text start out with one of us saying something and the other one saying "ME TOO"!  The top of my bucket list has Trisha's name on it...we must meet in person ASAP. 

I can't leave my cousins out of this list of BFFs. My cousin Lindsay has been in my life since the day she was born.  We've always had a special bond and it reaches across the miles, as she moved away and left me a few years ago.  We share everything and we count down the days until we'll see each other again. 

The same goes for my cousin Kristen.  She's my girl.  We share a love of shopping, Coach, and Starbucks.  She even indulges my Twilight addiction and went to The Twilight Convention with me last year.  She's getting married this September and I'm so looking forward to witnessing this next phase of her life.

And there is Alison.  My long lost cousin...who we didn't even know each other existed until she moved to Oklahoma from Arizona about 5 years ago.  It was kismet.  We were meant to be together.  We share an undying love for all things Twilight and Rob Pattinson.  She helped me plan my last premiere party...my partner-in-crime.  She is my sushi-lovin-twilight-watchin-movie-going-wine-drinkin friend.  She left me and went back to Phoenix, but we are still close and miss each other like crazy.  Can't wait until she's here in November for Breaking Dawn!!

And of course, there are my 3HOs3...Impulsive Addict (Skillz) and Mona (X-Rated).  I love these girls like Charlie Sheen loves crack and whores.  We have the best time together at our monthly GNOs.  I've known IA for about my whole life.  We go way back to grade school, but we've just recently reconnected and made it a point to hang out.  Mona and I have been friends since the 6th grade when she moved to Dub Town.  She was in my wedding and we've remained close friends through the years.

And of course there are all of you guys...I love my BBFs!  What would I do without you all?!

Be sure to stop by and link up for the first installment of WWTKW!

In Your Neck Of The Woods: JK's Hood

So, what's happenin' in my neck of the woods??  Mrs. Priss at The RHOK wants to know.

For this week's installment of IYNOTW, I decided to take you on a little picture tour of Dub Town.  That's what all the locals call the quaint (I use that term lightly) town I live in.

We have 3 stop lights...I knooooow, it's a metropolis.

If you ever visit, I can guarantee that you'll wait on a train...like 99.9% guarantee.

For the tastiest char-grilled hamburgers in at least 100 miles, you MUST eat at Son's! (ignore the bird poo on my window...according to Michael, I "over use" windshield wiper fluid, sooooo, I'm always out.)

When you reach the highway, it's over...yep that's all she wrote. 

After that, nothing but wide open space...for the next 30 miles...then you reach T-Town...which we pretend like that's a "big city", but friends from REAL big cities tell me that it's not. 

I'll just keep pretending. 

Ignorance is bliss.

Now, try not to be jealous.  And don't everyone flock to NE Oklahoma.  We kinda like it a little less populated.

What's happening in your neck of the woods??  It can be anything pictures, a story, an event...whatever you'd like to share.

Stop by The RHOK today and link up!
