My mother and father are on Facebook

Yes my parents are on Facebook and yes they have been for about 2 years. But I found that I had to address this and just tell you guys some funny stories.

According to all my friends and everyone else, I have the "cool parents." Sure, they might be cool to you, but to me and my sister, they're our parents! While I had fun taking shots of patron with them on my sister's recent 21st birthday, seeing my mom dance on the table, and watching my dad play Roulette with my sister and her 21 year old friends, still...they're my PARENTS!" 

Don't get me wrong..I love them to death! But sometimes, they need to just relaaaax! But I am lucky enough to have such fortunate, sweet, caring parents. And I always feel bad for my poor dad stuck with 3 girls each with different personalities, temperaments, and spending habits!

But back to Facebook. I think I was a junior in college when my mom called me up and asked if I could help her set up Facebook. I hung up on her and screamed bloody murder. Okay just kidding I didn't do that..but I wanted to! I didn't want her seeing me write "i love you bunny boo" to my boyfriend or "omg you were WASTED last night" to my friend. So I obliged, and gave her the low-down on setting it up, thinking she'd hate it after a month. But oh no..almost 3 years later, there she is..still on Facebook.

It'd be okay if she rarely went on, or if she sometimes commented on my status..but she is a top notch, creep with a capital C..CREEP! She "likes" everything that me, my sister, and our friends write. And of course all my friends friend her because they love her. My sister loves country music..so sometimes she'll put a quote on her status that may sound sad/depressing, but it's just a quote she likes! We all do it! So my mom will comment and be like "what's wrong..why are you upset?" Then she'll call me and be like "Why is that her status?" And so on and so on..

She likes my status's about my job. She comments on photos I upload. She write things in her status like 'fa la la la la..decorating!." She writes on my dad's wall. She Facebook chats me everytime she sees me on. And she even likes the same fan pages that my sister and I like..haha UGH!

My sister and I sometimes get so fed up that we joke and say "Mom, I'm going to limit my profile so you can't see anything." orrr "I'm blocking you on Facebook tonight." Then my mom will get pissed and say "Oh yeah? I'm shutting off your cell phones!" And my sister and I just die laughing over the stupidity!

I don't have much to say about my dad. He has a Facebook, and maybe goes on once a month. But allll over his wall are comments from my mom.. "Where are you?" "Why don't you update your status?" or the one that kills me..."Want to go out to dinner tonight?" Like really, mom, you can't go into his office and ask him..you have to do it over facebook? And of course, my friends get a kick out of that and "like" the comment.

So my family..All of us on Facebook together. So cute huh!

Me and the fam after I graduated. That morning, my mom had a sad Facebook status about me growing up, my dad's status was something like "proud of my first born" and my sister's was something like "sitting through a boring graduation." Gotta love it! And yes my sister is the only blonde! Nope..not adopted..just a weirdo!

Are your parents on Facebook? Haha I bet they are!

xoxo Have a great Wednesday!

My top 10 guilty pleasures

Hello there little blog.

I was at the gym last night and I'm doing some ab stuff and I see this girl come and sit on the mat next to me. She's cute, wearing cute workout gear, and is super skinny...skinnier than me and I'm 115! She just looks really tiny, but has a very toned body. So I go on with my abs, and I look over as she starts to do lunges, but before she does so, she takes a swig from her PEPSI bottle. She's drinking a damned pepsi during her workout! I look over at my bottle of water that I scarfed down so fast during cardio, and pondered for a minute. Who ever told this chick that drinking soda during a workout is good for you!? I wanted to grab that bottle and pour it over her stupid head.

Somehow that got me thinking about guilty pleasures..hey, maybe she just can't part herself from soda..she loves the caffeine..no..she NEEDS to caffeine for a good workout. Who knows. And don't ask why this made me think about guilty pleasures because I have no idea! Here are my top.

1) TRASHY. REALITY. TV

Ugh..yea. E!, Style network, MTV, VH1, TLC..everything. If your boyfriend/husband says it looks dumb, I usually love it and have to watch it.

2. Snacking

If I could, I would snack all day long. Most people have a designated guilty pleasure snack like cookies or pizza, but I like all snacks. I'll be cooking dinner while stuffing my hand into a cereal box or licking the spoon here and there.

3. Google Mapping

I've mentioned this issue before. Where I like to googlemap celebrities houses and stores they go to and then drive by them. But for real, googlemapping is so great. Especially street viewing! Seriously..take a few minutes and try it out. I like to googlemap rich areas (Bev Hills, Palm Beach) and street view and look at the mansions that I'm so jealous of! (hope this doesn't scare people away!!) Plus, if you type "weird things found on googlemaps" into yahoo/google, it'll show you strange things found in googlemap cameras. Here's one of a drunk guy passed out that someone found! haha

4. Facebook

One word..addicted. I could spend hours on that site, and sometimes I do!

5. Having my picture taken

I don't know if this is me wanting pics of myself, but if I'm out with friends or boyfriend or family, I'll be like "take a picture of just me!" No explanation there.

6. Lil Wayne. 
Okay, I do not feel guilty AT ALL for loving him. Buuut, I feel embarrassed when all my friends tell me I am way too obsessed with him for my own good! But I do have an amazing bf who got me 5th row tickets to his concert last summer! But yeah..I'm always listening to him, love watching his music vids, constantly search for his concert tours, buy his merchandise..Comon..you all like a musician like that right!?

7. Drinking wine
Yum yum yum I drink a glass almost every night. Nothin betta!

8. Everything wedding
I've been in a relationship for 4 years and don't expect to be married yet, though I'd like to be! But I think my bf and I would be happier together if we situated life first! (buying a home, paying off college loans, etc) HOWEVER...that does not mean I'm not curious. Curious isn't the word. In Borders, I sneak to the wedding section and look at their wedding books..love surfing "the knot.com" "wedding wire" and of course, watching Say Yes to the Dress. Just a lil somethin I enjoy and when I do get married, I'll be prepared!

9. Buying things just cause they're cute
Cute pens/pads of paper, mugs, cell phone covers, books..you name it! I just like it!

10. Driving fast in fast cars
When I drive my boyfriends car, can't help but drive fast...pedal to the floor! He has a BMW which is muuuuch faster than my SUV. So when I get to drive it, I love zoooming it! hehe bad, I know, since he can tell when I drive too fast because his gas mileage goes waaay down..woops!

There you have it! What are some of your guilty pleasures!?

Monday Shmonday

Let's see. It's Monday, and I'm about 600$ short in my bank account..that's what Christmas Shopping did to me over the weekend...yikes!

And the worst..I'm not even 100% done..only about 80%!

During college, I was really only working about 20 hours a week. That's what our school allowed it's workers to work just so that we didn't fall behind in classes. So I was making maybe 6.50$ an hour as a tourguide for my school--which by the way, funnest job ever! So Christmas/Birthdays/Anniversaries, I didn't have much of an amazing income to get people amazing gifts, while still spoiling myself with amazing gifts. 

But let me tell you..now that I have a big girl job with a big girl salary, I splurged. I went above and beyond buying people gifts! Something about buying someone a gift and watching them open it just makes me so happy! I love buying people things they want! So needless to say, I went nuts. My sister and I got my parents something amazing for Christmas that I wont share yet, but they're going to love it. I just had so much fun swiping my debit card here, pulling out cash there, waving my credit card towards there..I was a shopping machine. But hey, best part is, seeing happy people on Christmas =)

I also bought a play dough ice cream maker! Okay, not for me...Toys for Tots. My work is collecting toys to give to toys for tots so my boyfriend and I went out to buy some toys I could bring in. Literally, I wanted to keep the toy I bought for myself, and buy another one for toys for tots! hah! I know, that sounds horrible of me. But its an ice cream maker thing but instead of using ice cream, you use play dough! Ugh so much fun!

During Christmas, I always get so sappy and think about people who aren't as lucky as I am to be fortunate enough to have a great family and a chuck-filled tree with gifts on Christmas morning. Every morning on the radio I hear things about needy families, toys for tots, soup kitchens, holiday gift giving for poor kids, etc. And each time, I want to go out and donate. The holidays make me want to be charitable, but I know I can only help out so much. It's just really sad for me to think about and wish that I could just ransack Toys R Us and Pottery Barn Kids and buy out the entire store! Blahh..but I'm doing my part little by little and donating to Toys for Tots more than once.

So it's a frigid FIFTY DEGREES here on December 13 in Boston. I like nice weather and all, but come on..it's December. Where the hell is the snow. But tomorrow is supposed to be 13 degrees so I guess going from 50 to 13 is no big deal. 

xoxo!
