mexico!
josh went to get his passport today, it should take 8-10 weeks. we’re planning on going on a 6 day cruise to the mexican riviera in october. it’ll be our first vacation together for longer than 3 days! my parents or his parents are going to fly out to watch the doggies. although i’m very prone to sea sickness, i think ginger pills should help, they worked in Greece. stops are in mazatlan, puerto vallarta and cabo san lucas. i’m really excited to experience another country with josh even if it’s “just mexico”.

So I had to do an H&M post, tracey-style to show what I found this weekend
H&M in London seemed to have like 30 things I wanted to buy. I found 3 I wanted here in LA:

butterfly in the skyyyy…
There were 2 beautiful butterflies hanging out in the garden today and a couple days ago there were like 5 or 6 small humming birds in all the flowers at dusk. Crazy all the pretty harmless creatures in the garden.. and no bees!
don imus… everyone else is commenting on it…
So Don Imus said some horrible racist comment on his show calling the basketball team from Rutgers “nappy haired hos”. First of all who is Imus to comment on nappy hair.. let’s see what died under that cowboy hat of yours…
And I don’t see a lot of commentary about his on air apology. I so wish I could find the transcript somewhere. It went a lot further than the 2 sentences everyone is quoting. His apology was WAY more offensive than his 3 word comment that he was apologizing for. He pulled the “black people like me” thing. Saying his camp has lots of black children at it and he “lets” them sleep in his house with his wife and him and “even eats with them”. omg really? you eat with them?? they don’t have their own slave quarters in your home? wtf. this guy is so transparently racist! his on air apology was highly entertaining. the best part is that Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the rest of the people demanding his resignation didn’t even catch these much more offensive comments. They’re so focused on ‘Burn the witch! Burn the witch!’ It’s a Monty Python skit in the making.
Reminds me of that recent South Park episode - the nagger. Rev. Jesse Jackson made an apperance 
Flash Forward Instructional Winner
Since I’m so into Flash and instructional flash in particular.. this year’s entry in the Austin Flash Forward for instructional flash category really impressed me!
Great American Eat Right Challenge
I think it’s the subject matter as well though. I do some of the fitness tips like taking the stairs at work and in the parking structure. I never take an elevator unless I’m walking with a group to a meeting which is rare.
The recipes in the food section are pretty good ideas too.. they really get you thinking. Maybe I can make the delicious treats I make healthier

light + magnet = LED throwies!
saw these on instructables- LED Throwies. they look way cool. and i might just be nerdy enough to make em! anyone wanna join me? i gotta find a cool metal place and a message though first. then i realized they were used in philly to advertise aqua teen hunger force on blank billboards!
happy easter!
i’ve been really busy baking all these breads for tomorrow. for some reason since i’ve lived in this house, i haven’t been able to bake a decent bread. always too little flour, doesn’t rise, etc. 
i never had trouble baking breads before. josh noticed it too. he said i’m slippin.
it’s beautiful outside today. i hope it’s the same tomorrow. though i heard it’s raining and crappy in other parts of LA. josh was kind enough to wash my filthy mini. i haven’t washed it in 2 months or so hah. but i think it looks well used if it’s dirty
josh and i are thinking of going on a cruise together in the end of september/early october down to mexico. the biggest hiccup is a dog sitter. we’d be gone 6 days so that eliminates most of our friends that work in south LA. we’re gonna try to offer plane tickets to friends and family and see if that entices anyone

Mandy is so awesome
Josh was working on the sand rail and Mandy hangs out with him in the garage and recently she got up and laid right under the sand rail with him to help out. She’s so awesome haha.
