Headed to the Redneck Riviera

SamIam and I are both really lucky that we have family member's that live near/on bodies of water, who allow for us to come visit and enjoy it with them.We are spent our holiday weekend at SamIam's dad's house in Orange Beach, AL.After I worked all day on Wednesday... I drove these two shwasted goobers all the way down to the beach.You're welcome by the way turds.

They were both lucky enough to not have to work Wednesday and spent the entire day at the pool...with a cooler of course.  Lucky me. I knew that I was in for a very interesting road trip.



this accurately depicts how excited we were...NOT.

LOVES her some Uncle B!

 

To cheer up your Monday...in honor of B.F.E. Owassa, AL and Disney Pandora I give you this gem...  There isn't a picture to see. So just make sure to turn your volume up! (Maybe not at work though!)because these two are ridiculous when they get together!

Hahaha courtesy of budlight limearitas.  Those two were what we call white girl wasted!

An ode to the Hangout...because I couldn't go.

I have posted hardly at all this week and sitting at my desk at work I think I have come to realize that there may be a couple of reasons why...

*Disclaimer: I had a blasty blast in NYC making the Princess Bride's dreams come true and would do it all over again in a heartbeat!*

Negative Nancy's Excuses:

1.  The roomate did not move out.  And will not be moving out until the end of July.  This does not need any more explanation.
2. I did not get to attend the Hangout this year...and planned my wedding for the same weekend next year.  IDIOT.
3. I miss my friend.  Summers were always our time.
4. My house is a wreck because I left the boys alone for four days.  If you spill whiskey on the counter clean it up damn it!
5. I haven't been to the gym more than twice in the past three weeks and have gained back all of the weight I had lost.  So much for swimsuit season.
6. Mother Nature needs to go sit down.

So really I have been sparing you from my poor mood that I have been in all week.  So to cheer myself up I will share some pictures from Hangout last year and reminisce over how much fun I had with my frands shaking our sandy bums to great music!

If you are unawares of what the Hangout is all about let me help you to become acquainted! Check it out!



Mac Miller What up?!

The last time I saw Don. May 15, 2012



FloraBama late night smokey haze



Blowing big ass bubbles!

 

 

 

These pictures are tame.  If you are taking pictures during a show you are not fully enjoying the experience! Memories are everything.  Be in the moment.  My advice to festival goers.  Besides if you really like that camera (or cell phone) it is in your best interests to keep it somewhere safe.  Shit happens and people are clumsy.

 

Friday morning of the Hangout the lovely lady that is in all of my pics with me and I went to get in the Jeep with Kev to grab some groceries when this truck comes flying down the driveway.  I believe Kev's exact words were

"Who the FUCK is that?!!"

 

Well! Best festival surprise ever!  Two of my friends had driven through the night from D.C. to come surprise us!  Seriously made the weekend that much better!  That goof ball licking the sweat off my head up there is one of them.  And that is normal behavior for us.  I have known him since I was a child and then he dated my college roomate.  He has a habit of pulling champagne bottles out of nowhere in the mornings.  Proof we are meant to be friends for life.

 

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave Matthews, Alabama Shakes, Edward Sharpe and the Magentic Zeros, Mac Miller, Paul Oakenfold, STS9, String Cheese, The  Flaiming Lips, Devil Makes Three, Michael Franti, Dispatch, Skrillex.... I can't even remember who else!  Such an amazing lineup and even better weekend!  The best part about the Hangout is that you can leave in between sets and go eat if you want to instead of paying ridiculous amounts of money for festival food.  The house we were staying in was right down the road because we were staying with friends so it was hella convenient.   The beach really does make it such an amazing venue even though they fence you in so that you can't get to the water.

 

Everyone should go to at least one music festival in their life.  It should be on every bucket list.  I convinced my girly friend up there to come with and she had a BLAST!  She wants to go to another fest so bad and I had to bail on her this summer because I am trying to save money...unsuccesfully I might add.  Go to one and you will be addicted!

 

I WILL go to Hangout again! and drag SamIam with me! 

 

Ok I am feeling better now! See I told you! The memories! Just talking about it makes me excited!

Can I make a move on you...

Yes, that is what drunk boys will ask you after you have given them a sandwich even though you are wearing a big shiny engagement ring.  Ridic.  I was obviously correct in thinking he may need to sober up a bit.

What up Travel Tuesday?!

 

This past weekend was one for the books!  17 girls on a bachelorette party all staying in one house and there wasn't any drama!  Hells bells that's amazing!

There were #s to change it for every day. Thanks Pinterest!

Team Bride!

Day 2!

I could not have imagined a better time!  The MOH and the Bridesmaids were all amazing and had planned such an amazing weekend for us all that everything was so relaxed and fun!

 

 

 

 

A friend's mom and sister hosted a lingerie shower for our Sexy Little Bride and had filmed her fiance previously by asking him questions ala the Newlywed Game.  It was adorable!

 

There was a Bachelor Party staying next door that we made friends with.  They were all so sweet!  One of the guys had just bought his girlfriend a engagement ring the week before so we helped him plan out how he is going to ask her!

 

Side Note: For the record, getting in any body of water no matter how deep! after you have been drinking is ALWAYS a bad idea! You can drown in two inches of water.

 But moving on...Seriously!  Even the ride home was fun! after I puked.

Sorry for all of the exclamation points!  It really was that much fun! 

Thank you my little Nico Pico Bride for sharing all of your childhood friends with me!  I am so glad that we are friends and that I got to make so many new ones!

I will say though that if I don't see another Strawberry Limearita for a very long time I will be totally ok with it.

Wedding Wednesday!

I was waiting all morning for news so that I could make this post.....OUR ROOMATE IS MOVING OUT!! [seriously raved at my desk for a solid minute]  When I get back from New York he and all of his junk will be moved out! yipppeeeeee!  We are going to have so much more room for activities!!  I am going to be able to walk around my house NAKED! Hells yeah!
This just makes me so very happy happy happy!

Now on to Wedding Wednesday! Well sort of...it's a step on the way to the wedding!

Tomorrow I will be embarking on this nugget's Bachelorrette Weekend getaway to Grayton Beach!
Let's go to da beach! Beach!



BRIDE!

We are staying in the cutest little house! It's name is "Spoiled Rotten"
so appropiate.

 Mad props to Tori the MOH and all of her planning from the West Coast!

Grayton Beach, FL seriously might as well be in the tropics

 

My favorite place! Sunday Brunch Bloody Marys and live music are the heaven!
Side note: I was almost arrested in their parking lot once for animal "abuse."
 I am sorry my dog screams like a banshee when she is excited. 
I have never seen my mother move so fast in my life.

 



I imagine we will all look like this but in actuality...

No boys allowed!

 

 

I am so ready for this mini vacay! 

 While I am at the beach SamIam and Dak are going to be at Orange Beach for the Mullet Toss. 

 If you are unawares.  Check it out. 

It is the definition of a redneck shit show.

 

Later Gators!
