kamikaz-bee

This morning, I awoke to find the gorgeous sunshine peeking through the shades, and my husband sitting next to me-- fully work attire dressed, including shoes-- playing Angry Birds in Space on his iphone. What a goofy little weirdo.

Anywho, I went to work this morning for a meeting. On my way home, I was driving the Vue with all windows down and the radio up, singing along to the country music just as beautifully as could be. 

Out of nowhere, a kamikaze wasp came barreling through my open driver's side window and smacked me in the face at 45 mph. Now, it should be noted that the only time I enjoy any interaction with bees or wasps or the likes is when I have at least 2-3 cans of wasp killer spray, and I'm on a stakeout trying to figure out where their nasty little nest is located. THE ONLY TIME. So when this little booger came flying in with a malice intent to harm (it aimed for the face/eyeball region after all), I was less than pleased and a bit caught off guard. And now that stingy demon was sitting next to me on MY seat planning his next move. I couldn't get my flippy flop off my foot since I was technically still driving a vehicle, so I grabbed my purse and tried to squish it..... but that dang thing would not die. I ended up flinging it back out the window using a plant pot, but the whole one and a half minutes was quite the terrifying ordeal.

And then I had a red spot right under my eye that I had to monitor for the rest of the morning.... just in case my body had decided to become bee-allergic within the last couple of years since my last sting. Such drama.

sprecher cinco de mayo

This last Saturday was Cinco de Mayo. We got together with my mom and dad and went out for the Sprecher Brewery Tour in the Bayshore area. Ben and I didn't realize that Sprecher did more than amazing root beer..... and at the end of the tour we were able to taste test 4 different brews. I tried the Mai Bock, Special Amber, Witty and Abbey Triple (twice...because that's how you do). Abbey Triple was the best

After the tour, we headed to Bar Louis for some food. The Kentucky Derby was on..... Side note: If I didn't have a stinkin' mandatory work meeting Sunday, we would have been there ourselves. I would have worn a ridiculously large hat and Ben would have worn some sassy suspenders. But such is life. Anyways, some horse named "I'll have another" won. Which got me thinking that I'm going to be naming our next fish "make it a double."

Then my parents stopped by our apartment to see Paris & Nicole (they're real popular; there's the links to their facebook pages. yeeeah.). They tried some of our homemade beer, too. The bottle we tried wasn't as watery beer tasting.....which means we are incredible brew masters, obviously.

our first batch of beer! looks legit.

Last night was a mini-date night. Ben and I went to the moving picture show.........it sounds more romantic that way............and saw The Avengers. Fun movie!! The Hulk, Black Widow, Captain America, and Iron Man all together in one movie?! All geeks rejoice.

newlywed apartment

We don't have much longer left in this apartment.... our lease is up the end of June and we are moving to cut down on Ben's commute time (1.5 hours one way is gross). I don't know where we are going, or what is going to happen, but I'm okay with that. 

kitchen! with paris on top...

We've had a lot of crazy memories at our first little apartment...  & I realized that I don't really have any pictures of the place. So I cleaned up and took some pictures today-- in that order.


So here's the kitchen:

I'm ADDICTED to misc. coffee mugs

paris lounging on top of the cabinets

I love those little tin signs for the kitchen

wine, old school photo, & eclectic wall hangings

the fish! scarface, cheeto dust, and dragon slicer.
