Thanks to my favorite British suitor for sending me this gem again to remind me how much I love it.
Happy early birthday, MJP! Can’t wait for the shenanigans next month for your birthday!
Summertime, think it was June,

Friday Croissants November 20, 2009
Well, so it’s not Friday Biscuits, but I did have a big nasty croissant this morning, so that’s what you get, loyal readers.
Soooo, this week was relatively calm, as my weeks have slowly been progressing toward a more adult and stable lifestyle over the past few months (read: not 2 am drunk at 7 pm 5 nights out of the week). I now save Tuesdays for a few fantastic $2 Amstel Lights at Onion Creek with Matt OC Website
Here are some fun things discovered on the interwebs this week:
Cats For Gold
Tim Burton’s Art at MoMA
Mysterio Predicts What You Will Get for the Holidays (Jaron is apparently getting me adult diapers, and Cayci will get me the same thing as last year.
Back Boobs from PoWM
Top 6 Quotes from the 2nd Jersey Shore trailer
Above, enjoy some Dispatch because I said so.
XOXO,
Terita Bonita
Now THAT’S secure… November 5, 2009
I love that the large hadron collider can be shut down by a freaking crumb…
Apparently, a bird dropped some of a baguette into a “hole” where it caused the huge machine, capable of killing us all, to overfreakingheat. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE??? Holes?? This place is obviously super impregnable. And then we advertise it to the world. Aren’t some of the greatest minds on Earth behind this place? I see a Dan Brown book coming out of this, or he is behind it.

Let the Wild Rumpus Begin! November 5, 2009
So, had a fantastic time at the Nebels on Halloween Eve, there was champers and witches’ hats and general good times… there was even a long-ignored bottle of MadDog discovered in the wine fridge that was utilized…
Roger as Max!
Whoa, Courtney!
But this was me the following morning. Thank you, champers and black currant liqueur.
Additionally, I got new sunglasses, and I am in love with them:
XO,

Just Another Tuesday in Teri Land… September 22, 2009
Things that happened to me this morning…
1. Woke up to Gabby freaking out and peeing on me because the thunder scared her. Seriously, people – this is NOT my preferential method of rising.
2. Begrudgingly showered and got ready for work, suddenly realizing that its pouring out, I have at least an 8 block walk to the bus stop, and no appropriate footwear. After debating tennis shoes vs. flip flops, I decided on some brown Merrells. These went AWESOME with black slacks and a pink shirt.
3. After putting on my socks and shoes, I remember that said shoes tend to eat my socks, and athletic ankle socks won’t cut it… looking through my sock drawer, I realize that all of my socks are dress socks or super thick wool socks for winter – then I see my Chihuahua socks lingering in the corner… These will have to do.
4. Ready to go, I trek out into the monsoon, cute Banana Republic raincoat stowed in my satchel, as it’s a tad too warm for it, and hiding under a big golf umbrella. 100 feet away from my stop, I see the bus coming to the corner, so I start to walk markedly faster, maybe call it a jog, directly in front of the driver’s line of sight. Now, here is where I need to stop and send a little apology to the bus driver at the corner of Bayland and Watson at 8:10 this morning – I am truly sorry for screaming profanities at you as you saw me hurrying to the bus stop and you drove away. Clearly, I was wrong in thinking that it was obvious that I was trying to catch the bus. My waving and jogging toward the stop in which I am picked up EVERY DAY at this time was clearly misconstrued for a morning stroll. IN A MONSOON. IN BUSINESS ATTIRE. So, again, my sincerest apology. Easy Mistake.
5. I get the joy of standing at the bus stop for another 20 minutes waiting on another bus. In the rain. With acorns falling on my umbrella.
6. Finally, something positive – I get a happy bus driver. She is so happy and nice that she is making countless stops for people who wanna get off at undesignated locations. Thanks. I love being drenched on a freezing bus.
7. Helllloooo corner of Dallas and Louisiana! Sooo glad to see you this morning! I hop off of the bus and walk out into a damn windstorm. Struggle with my huge umbrella down to my building. Of course, it flips inside out right before I walk in, spraying the only dry parts of me with cold wetness. I walk inside and the building concierge looks at me – drenched, wearing hiking shoes, Chihuahua socks and slacks, dripping in the lobby with an inside-out umbrella – with pity in his eyes and says “Yeah, it’s that kind of day.”
Maybe I need to start going to church or something…Maybe I need my chakras realigned. Something isn’t right, because this shit doesn’t consistently happen to everyone, does it??
Freezing and trying to dry out at my desk -

PS – The Chihuahua socks are, seriously, the only article of dry clothing on my body right now.
Text Message Exchanges During Last Night’s Game June 25, 2009
Thank you, Chris Maguire. Thank you for making me laugh hysterically despite the epic fail of a game I was watching last night.
Me: You need to ramp up the Maguire Fire! What in the hell is going on?
Chris: The coals are simmering baby, About to ignite with all sorts of heat they don’t even know about.
Me: I just threatened to stab the LSU fan here. With a straight face.
Chris: Do it. Doooo it.
Me: Some old alum is next to me hitting on me. I have decided that my only response will be “Fi-yah”.
Chris: Excellent choice!
Me: Just met Paul Wall.
Chris: Sittin sideways, boys in the days.
(After the Horns downfall)
Me: Where is the Fi-yah??? What the damn????
Chris: Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
Super freaking funny.
Still loving the Horns,
Terita
