An interesting weekend

I hate going to pride, it is hot, there is a greater potential of running into exes (which I did :( and then there are these idiots.

Four signs that we saw during pride! Are they fucking serious?

So as you can see, the weekend was quite eventful. We also saw a couple of movies this weekend...Jesus Camp and 1408, is that what it's called? They were both very interesting movies and get two thumbs up each from me :)

Riverdance YO!

A Great Birthday!

My birthday dinner out at El Vaquero was a good time. I wore a huge hat, which I have a picture of and won't be sharing. The waiter tried to smear me with whipped cream which was quite interesting!

Same song, different/better/more beautiful video

Book Snob

So I've recently discovered that I am a book snob. I love funny books, but funny books that tell me something, teach me something, or take me somewhere. For instance I am probably Bill Bryson's biggest fan, I would marry him and bear his children if he asked, he has lead me on a hike through the Appalachian trail from my couch...he is a fabulously funny man so I enjoy and read pretty much everything he writes.

As you all know I am in a book club and in said book club one member chooses a new book for us to read about every 4-6 weeks...the most recent book was chosen by my dear friend Alyson, whom I love to death and know she doesn't read this blog, so I can say... I was not looking forward to reading this book. That said the book, The Undomestic Goddess was fabulous. It was COMPLETE fluff as I had expected and it was long...about 400 pages, detailed, captivating, and funny as hell. If you get a chance, read it (it took me about a day to read it)...it's definitely a chic's book, so if you are a chic looking for a beach book, a porch book, a lunch break book and you aren't interested in learning one damn thing ;) then read it!

My current favorite song....

AHHHHHH Summer

One of my favorite summer shows is So You Think You Can Dance and here are two reasons why...

My favorite...


Runner up...


Now I wouldn't typically go for lyrical and contemporary dances but these, I dig. It doesn't hurt that the dancers in the first video are both hot as hell ;) Enjoy and get your groove on!

No Confidence

Ever since I put up the post about wanting a t@b camper for my birthday I have been getting harassed, by you, my so called friends...I've heard, Dawn, you do not like dirt, you blow dry and flat iron your hair every other day, you are not the campy type of girl...well here are a few little known facts:


1. I can put up and take down a tent in about 5 minutes and not a pop up tent.

2. I can build a fire in two minutes flat...no lie, I've been timed.

3. On said fire I can make you about 10 one pot, good ass meals...meals that will make you drool and wish I was your woman.

4. I can tread water in my clothes for 15 minutes and then take them off IN THE WATER and tread for another 30.

5. I had my license in small water craft safety.

6. If you capsize your boat, I can save your ass or at least yell the directions out to you.

7. I can read a compass.

8. I can tie a few different knots!

9. I have white water rafted at a level 5 with 6 teenage girls without a guide on a raging river.

10. I have gone spelunking with another 12 girls, who were scared out of their minds but were fine when I gave them a pep talk.

11. I have comforted homesickness, poison ivy, and broken hearts all around a campfire...

12. I know about 200 camp songs...silly, serious, and fun ones and could probably remember about 50 more than that!

13. I survived 8 summers of sleeping in a platform tent from early June through late August.

14. I trained about 65 people in wilderness skills for 6 of those summers and they all survived to tell the tales.

15. I've driven 15 passenger vans all around the state of Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Indiana filled with singing 10 year olds.

16. I've successfully called barn owls.

17. I've led creek hikes and smeared my face with mud.

18. I've pulled off a pow wow, complete with Native American names for 20 girls!

19. I've completed both high ropes and low ropes courses about 10 times.

20. I've showered butt naked in a communal shower and thought nothing of it.

21. I've ran almost a mile with a girl in my arms who poisoned herself by brushing her teeth! with bug lotion


Shall I say more?

Now what b**ch*s!


and Laura if you read this can you please back me up (as a previous camper of mine) and tell me if I've forgotten anything...geez Louise people give me some credit!

Here are some other shots...

This T@B with the awning is undeniably adorable don't ya' think?
and this black corvette (wait is that a corvette or some other fancy car that I've never seen before?) with matching black T@B is just plain ol' bad ass! OK, now that I'm looking at it, I think it's a Porsche...:)

Birthday gift anyone?



My 32nd birthday is coming up in about...12 days and I want a T@B camper! In particular I want the little blue one above. Cute huh?!?! I think it would be especially cute with white or silver snowflake decals on it to go along with my I LV SNOW license plate. I have been eyeing these for quite sometime now and I am hoping that someday I will have my own T@B! *sigh*
