...is giving up swearing. Actually, giving up alcohol was easy, exercising, no problem, eating healthy = piece of cake! However, I decided that I have a bad habit of swearing like a sailor, and I don't want to be a foul mouthed mommy. Since swearing is simply a habit, and I know habits are easily broken, i've made it my goal to quit the cursing before the kid is born. Easy, right? NO!

It's almost like swearing is the last vestige of 'cool' I have left...I make sure to dress demurely and professionally at work and while out (keeping those darn tattoos covered can be tricky in the summer) and i'm subconciously trying to NOT give it up...

...or my birthday. Or, you know, just because;

That, and the beer to go in it. I mean, really...a BEERTENDER! How rad is that!?!

Now, I know, it's not as white-trashy or gutterpunk-y as a kegerator,

...but really, let's not split hairs here. This puts the 'class' into 'drunk-ass'.

Some poor soul tried to argue the point "But it only holds 6 beers...that's it."
Well, they obvs missed the undercurrent of Black Flag in said statement;

"Thirty-five dollars and a six pack to my name
Six-pack!
Spent the rest on beer so whos to blame
Six-pack!
They say Im fucked up all the time
Six pack!
What they do is a waste of time
Six pack!

I know itll be o.k."

Ahhhh, memory lane! Anyways, I doubt anyone will peel off three Benjamins for me to have said 'tender, but I will gladly accept a pint whenever someone is feeling generous.

I'm just sayin'...

Pizza. Pizza seems to magically happen on alternating Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Manna from Heaven, indeed. If I could only have one type of food for the rest of my life, it would be pizza.

Tonight, Nate and I are going to one of the best pizza places in Menlo Park, Applewood.
I don't know precisely why it's so grubbin', though I think the lovely, fluffy crust might be one thing - the beer might be another...

I hope everyone else is having a grubbin' Wednesday as well...

Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes, well, he eats you.

I try my best to come home and clean, and relax, but sometimes, i'm not so into it..

That's when I have to pull on the wisdom of the Big Lebowski, "Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here!"

"Say, friend - you got any more of that good sarsaparilla?"

My Friday was filled with all the amazing everyday-ness that Friday's are good for (heck, that everyday is good for!) and now that it's Saturday there's more good times to be had!

I'm off to get my hair did, and then tonight will be a swingin' shindig in SF, i've not yet seen my cousin and her business partners amazing SOMA loft/warehouse-y place yet, and there will be many people, much beer, music, and good times...

But on a serious note..the fence...the cursed fence that is open, then closed, hopped and abused....they saw fit to nail it completely shut thus increasing my commute by a block...I think because it is a trailer park, they're not so much trying to keep others' out as they are keep us white-trashy folks in. Speaking of whitetrashy-ness...without irony, here is really what I came home and made for dinner last night, as it was the only food I had in the house..

Yes, that is a Frito Pie with an icy cold can of the High Life next to it...We have beer still left from Nate's party, I had a half-finished bag of Frito's that I bought for snackies at work, and a can of chili...topped off with some pre-shredded Safeway cheese...mmmmmmm...delish!

We went walking last night, and I thought I would share some of my everyday sights..

Yes, that's a buckin' Ford Bronco Truck alright...(rad!)

Right after we walked past this pipeline, the floodgates opened...seriously right after....

And I think it's because the Feds are always watching us...always

I'm off to pay some dollars for a hair-do...

When you walk, or ride your bike, everywhere, you start to develop the habit of being a wee bit more observant than you are when you're used to seeing things zip by at 60 MPH.

Like, semi trucks...they're actually pretty rad, and they have personality...like this one...it's a loooong truck!

and notice the grin the dawg has on said truck....

Oh geez! That's quite the, uh, shifter?

So, back to the clean world, last night was a beautiful night for a ride on the trail and to Amicis on Castro.....

We locked Beretta and Stella up securely and sat at the outside table to enjoy the evening...

We ignored the fact that there is a mortuary across the street, people on segueways, and a spooky advert with Nosferatu right above us...

Beer with the hubby and a veggie pizza, a ride home in the dusky evening an d a good nights rest...good times indeed!....

It doesn't matter what day of the week it is, good times are never hard to find...!

I'm a big believer in conspiracy theories...it's part of the reason I don't have TV...but I don't think it's any huge surprise that when gas prices are at their highest...GASP...Big Oil celebrates record breaking profits...i'm just sayin'....

That being said, on a trip to the Duke of Edinburgh - I didn't miss the drive, the gridlock, or the parking hassle..and I used my gas money for a few pints....:)
