All things Hollywood

I always grow my hair out long and then when it gets to about the middle of my back, I can't stand it and I chop it off. Then the cycle starts over. So anyway, I am at that point.

Straight hair




hot rolled (hello 1982)


So anyway I decided that I would try out some styles online.

'

This is Selena Gomez's hairdo on my head.  
(yes I know she is  16 years old). 
I added some violet contacts. 
Call me "Elizabeth and haha this does kinda remind of a "Dynasty" do. 
Take that Bieber.


Zooey Deschanel's hair.
I am def. not hip enough.
Did you hear her sing the national anthem during the world series?
She looked cute and actually sang the song the way it is written.
refreshing.
Take that Aguillera.


and because I could not resist.


Me in Snooki hair.

now here is where I would insert a funny jersey shore catchphrase.
but I haven't actually seen that stupid show  . . .



However, I have found myself addicted to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Am I the only one?

Did anyone watch last night?

Which did you find more disturbing?

Kim's secret boyfriend?

or 42 year old Kim's need to show off  by doing the splits.
At an engagement party.

The Hoard, A Board and a Fjord

1.  The Hoard

Have you heard of the minimalist movement to live with just 100 possessions?

Stupid, I know.

But it got me thinking that I could probably shed 100 possessions.

Then I thought I may as well try to get rid  of 500 things.

At least it is a start.

I gathered up close to 200 things this week and donated them to the FIRC.

Hoard.

Meet Purge.

Once I reach 500, I vow not to bring anything home without getting rid of something.

The Hoard can happen to anyone.  It freaks me out.



2. A Board

A very, very. very large on.


Some people would call it a beam.

It was laying on the side of our house.

Matt put it up in place of our wimpy beam.


And while he was at it, I talked him into building some shelves with some other boards laying around the side of the house (for five years!).


Hoard.

Meet upcycle.



This is the old skinny beam (7 years ago).



3. A  FJORD

Okay, not really.

More of an inlet.

But it rhymed.

On Labor Day, we went out on the lake.

It has been cold ever since. WTF?
 
I am not ready for cold.




Until next time,

I am too sexy for my blog (no way I'm disco dancin)

or maybe just too lazy for my blog.

1. Chase moved to Los Angeles. What up with that?

I miss my chef son.
BTW have you ever noticed that people from LA never say "LA," they always say "Los Angeles?" I guess that is so we don't mistakenly think they live in Louisiana or somethin. As long as he does not start saying THE I-70 or THE I-25. That bugs the royal shit out of me that people from California put "the" before the freeway number.

2.My Droid has gone crazy on voice recognition.

I said something like "I know this f---ing phone sucks."

 

WHAT IN THE ANNE HECHE HELL IS THAT ALL ABOUT???????

HOW DO I FIX THIS???

I tried switching it from default English (US) to default English (Canada). You would think that would fix it, EH?  It did not. 

And LOL to the Canadian English. 

I wish there was a Mexican English option.


That is all the sexiness I care to share today.

Mocha Chocolata Ya Ya

So I am still trying to be on a diet and I actually think me clothes are a bit looser (I just typed that with a cockney accent mate)

My thought is that the SB Diet just wears you down so you just give up on eating all together. Do I want another boiled egg or string cheese? Hell no. I will just starve.

There is one little glimmer of happiness though. I have created a masterpiece that I love, love, love.

So what I do is I heat a small amount of water and then take two teaspoons of this:
(mine does not have hieroglyphics on the jar; btw)

then, I add two tablespoons of this


then I fill the rest of the cup with ice cubes.

then I take a large glass and fill it with ice and add my cold coffee mixture over it and then top it off with this.


and then, I dollop on this
BTW do you ever "dollop" anything but cream?
IT IS DELICIOUS!!
I was going to take a picture this morning, but I forgot until this is what I had



Oh, and two weeks ago I tried to take some "before" pictures with my cell phone.

This was the result.

this is cracking me up here, because my arms look fat and my middle parts look ok, which is the opposite in real life.


ok, this is a more accurate portrayal of me two weeks ago.

That is all.

South (son of a) Beach Diet

Okay so I am sitting in a bar association committee meeting right now (on conference call) and thought maybe I could blog. I have been pretty much over blogging but I like keeping a journal of what is going on. Besides-- we are discussing Alec Baldwin and domestic violence in our meeting(fo real).

So a few years ago I was reading the People Magazine New Year's edition-- you know the "I LOST HALF MY SIZE" issue that they put out when they have ran out cover stories about the Angelina Jolie/Jennifer Aniston/Brad Pitt love triangle.

Anyway, I read about the South Beach diet and decided to try it out. I lost 15 pounds and went from a size 8 to size 4 in about 6 weeks  (and, yes, I do get most of my health and beauty advice from People magazine). Fast forward a few years-- and I have a pretty super sized muffin on top of my "skinny" size 8 jeans. damn-it.

I went to Mexico in April and spent the whole month prior to my trip running on the damn treadmill (getting up to 4 miles a day) and I think I may have lost only like 4 pounds. Frustrating! I hate my 42 year old worn out metabolism.

Since I don't have 14 hours a day to work out like this ho,

(That is what she claims.)

I thought I would try that damn south beach diet again this week. So that is what I did on Monday.

If I can remember right, the 3rd day is the hardest-- then your cravings for refined carbs are supposed to diminish after that point. It had damn well better.  I just ate about 914 pounds of vegetables dipped in hummus and what I really want to do right this second is eat a can or two of Pringles and run someone over with a truck or smoke a cigarette and kick a baby. One or the other. Crap.


Wish me luck Chuck.


My anniversary is coming up at the end of August and I want to be somewhere in a bathing suit.

Let's look back to April, shall we?


I am so happy and warm right now. 



It is too nice to sit inside and blog. 


THE END.

Guess Who Flew the Nest.

No.

Not this guy.


Chase is still around. 
(My nest must be well feathered).

I am talking about the little quartet that hatched exactly two weeks ago.




The baby robins were doing some pretty awkward flying off the porch this morning.



This one sat there for about 5 minutes before mustering the courage to sail away.

(Stupid Picasa won't load my other pictures for some dumb reason).

Now that they are getting big, the baby robins crap all over my porch and I had to move my chairs and lay  newspaper down.  

Gross. 

But I think they are really close to leaving my home and exploring the big world!  I feel so proud (HA! of course I have not done a damn thing other than observe their little beginnings. Matt on the other hand took time out every day to dig up a few worms to help mama robin out). 

PS:  Did I ever tell you that Chase contracted viral meningitis from a bird crapping on his head while we were vacationing in Mexico? 

True story. 



PPS:  Is this not the cutest picture of Murphy?

About me

My Photo
Colorado, United States
Lex loci is Latin for "law of the place," I am Lori. This is my gigantic blog about life, law and whatever amuses or irritates me at the moment. I am a high country dweller and as you may come to see, the world is a little skewed when you are at the top. I live here with my husband, Matt. He claims to have searched the world over to find me, but I know for a fact, he rarely left Breckenridge. We share our space with a pound hound, a very out of place chihuahua and, sometimes, with our 20 year old son, Chase. I practice law, often in my pajamas.
