Pyramid Collection Catalogs
I get random catalogs all the time but the other day I received the Pyramid Collection catalog. It caters to women that like to explore the gothic chic in them. There were a couple cute dresses and jewelry items but what really caught my attention were the shoes. Skulls and roses on boots! How awesome and tacky is that? If I were crazy enough I'd get these!
Pictured above are Lame Leggings. I don't think these should ever be sold. The women that can wear them don't and the women that shouldn't wear them do.
These are the black widow shoes and I'm thinking I should get these for Halloween!The catalog has a ton of "interesting" items in it and I'm just curious how the buyers plan for these items. How many can they buy per style? My minimums run about 180 per color to about 360 pairs. Is there really enough demand to make these shoes somewhere? I wonder if they sell stuff to places like Hot Topic? I think I want to work for this catalog.

right on sister
I'm on a horror kick right now. Doesn't mean I want to kill you or anything.
-Zac
Thanks.
I'm on the second book by author Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez and I'm not sure why I'm reading it. I remember now. My SIL told me that the first book The Dirty Girls Social Club was a hilarious read similar to Laurie Notaro books. Yeah parts were funny and the fact that it's centered around Hispanic/Latina women kind of makes things a little more interesting but it wasn't a funny book. The book followed a group of Latina women that are friends and have made a pact to meet a few times a year after college. All these girls are successful in jobs but not in love. They care more about their appearance than themselves and one of the characters is practically beaten to death because her husband had to prove how manly he is. The second book isn't much better but I have to finish the book and then the 3rd book because I already bought it. After this book I'm gonna have read something better. Any suggestions?
If you haven't tried the new 3 Musketeers Truffle Crisp Bars you are missing out. They are delish! Shelly got me hooked on them.
While perusing pictures on facebook one girl had posted pics of her latest adventures and in some of the pics the girls are so drunk they look horrible. I find it quite amusing because I'm sure when taking that pic they thought they were so hot.
I need to find a doctor soon.
Pulling weeds sucks. While in Vegas the weeds grew like weeds and our house was an embarrassment to embarrassing houses.
Our orange and lemon trees are blowing up with little flowers. It smells nice but it's so overpowering and my allergies are going nuts.
I find it funny that as soon as Zac puts on a movie and relaxes, which means not on his computer he falls asleep instantly. He put on Halloween and now he's asleep.
I'm gonna go read my lame book.

Vegas (and overall trip) deconstructed
Highlights include:
The weirdest Sonic experience ever. Bill isn't one for going out to fast food so when it was time to pick a place to eat we tried to think of a place that Bill might like. After hunger and starvation started to set in we finally decided on Sonic. Conversation turned into Bill asking "why can't I just get what I want?" and the meal ended with us tipping the car/table hop a few dollars just to prove a point. This was in Casa Grande....we weren't even in Phoenix yet.
In Phoenix we made it to the Rhythm Room and found out as we were getting out of the car that Bill wasn't going in with us. He was fine though, he had his computer, the keys to the car and nearby McDonalds.
The concert had some of the nerdiest douchebags ever. The stupid people that think they are so cool because they can shout something out to the band and have lame conversation were in attendance that night. One guy was such a douche that he thought it was appropriate to set his drink next to the MacBook that was being used by the soundcrew. Dude, you paid cashmoney to get into this concert why would you want to to try to possibly ruin the concert by spilling your cheap ass beer on the bands equipment just so you can text on your phone.
To keep Zac awake I popped in a Mars Volta cd and that woke us all up! Zac sung along to all the songs. He knows all the words and all instrumental parts as well. There was also a lot of quoting of movies and Terminator references.
State checkpoint was fun. Bill was sure that having a bottle of Diet Pepsi was the only reason why we were let through with no problems. That was a joke throughout the trip.
Viva Las Vegas! The lights and awesomeness that is Vegas is not lost in the wee hours of the morning. The drunks were winding down, the cleaning crews were out, and the strip was at the quietest you'll ever find it. We walked a bajillion miles to the hotel room and then another bajillion miles to NYNY for our other room. We slept a few hours but for me it wasn't enough.
Wednesday we wore our finest greenery and got ready for the insanity of St. Patrick's Day! While waiting for the MGM lions to strut their stuff at 11am two guys were walking around wearing green feather boas, oversized sunglasses, green hats, beads and giant cans of Coors.
By 5pm I was Mrs. Grouchy Pants! I needed a nap and thankfully I was left alone long enough to get some much needed sleep even if it was only an hour or so. I woke up to Zac calling me asking if I wanted to join them for dinner at Margaritaville. Somewhat rested I joined them for dinner.
Margaritaville has good food and yummy drinks. We all had some alkyhol and some of us had more than others. Bill ordered the License to Chill and it was hilariously awesome how he ordered it. Zac's second drink was the Perfect Margarita. The Perfect Margarita may have just tipped Zac over the edge. But it wasn't enough to stop him from buying an Eiffel Tower drink. He kept telling us how he couldn't feel his body and how his feet didn't hurt him while the rest of us were ready to crawl back to our rooms.
Thursday highlights include chilling in the hotel room while ordering room service and watching LOST on the laptop. We went to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. That night we checked out of our 3rd hotel room at the Stratosphere. We never stayed in the hotel but the guys were determined that we needed to mess the room up to make it look lived in. Zac and Bill were really getting into it and as we were done messing the room up Zac had to make coffee and Bill wanted to knock down a lamp. The Stratosphere gave us a free suite and $50 in free play. Not bad. After checking out of the hotel we made our way to the Rio to check out the Show in the Sky. It was fun trying to collect beads and it was fun for the guys to see the girls shake their bon bon. After dropping Elyse off at the MGM the rest of us continued on to NYNY for a little gambling. I lost the guys and sat at a slot machine for an hour turning my $15 into $75. I finally made myself leave and go to bed. Turns out as soon as I leave Zac's side the women in Vegas can't control themselves. Zac told me how woman were stealing his beads and wanted their picture taken with him. Sluts.
Friday we started our journey home. We had Diet Dr. Pepper this time but we were let back into Arizona. On the way home we stopped at the nastiest bathroom in the whole wide world. And finally around 9:30pm we were back home with our DaisyGirl.
Other random things-Zac kept singing that odee-oten-day song in the elevator.
Zac makes coffee in his hand. It's the fast way.
Subway sells a $5 footlong for $8.
The Bellagio buffet is yummy except the desserts weren't that great.
I found it quite funny the next morning when Zac was hungover.

it's the spring to the break
This year we found ourselves planning another fun filled and busy Spring Break. Even though I technically don't get a Spring Break I do have PTO that I can use whenever I want. This time around, Zac's sister wanted to come out and spend a nice relaxing week in warm AZ! Boy was she in for a huge SURPRISE! A month ago or so, Zac came up with the idea that we should go to Vegas while she was here. He knew she had never been and it would be a fun surprise for her.
Saturday we picked her up at the airport and headed over to eat some breakfast. While at breakfast we finally told her the big news. No one fainted but she was pretty excited! The rest of the day was spent taking naps, watching the sunset over at Gates Pass and eating dinner at Red Robin.
Sunday we spent most of the morning and afternoon at the UofA. We went to the dissolution ceremony for the mandala and then out to the UA Mall area for the Tucson Festival of Books. We had lunch at Guero Canelo and went grocery shopping.
Monday while I worked Zac and Elyse headed to the hills. They spent the day at Sabino Canyon hiking through icy water and on Mt. Lemmon trudging through snow. That night Elyse made a delicious dinner for us.
Tuesday while I worked Zac prepared for the trip. Once the rental car was packed and ready to go they picked up Bill and then came for me at work. Woo hoo! We were on our way! We stopped for early dindin and then we made it to the Rhythm Room early enough to stand in line waiting for the doors to open like the true fans we are. Even with our anticipation of going to Las Vegas, once Matthew Good went on stage we were mesmerized. The show was awesome and the time just flew by when he was on stage. While the giants were standing towards the back of the tiny club I made my way to the front and had an excellent view of the set list, the awesome guitarist and of course Matthew Good. On any other night we would have loved to rock on all night but that night we were itching to get going. By 11:30ish we were on the road.
Shortly before 4am we rolled into Vegas. The strip was dead but there were still quite a few hard core partiers gambling or crawling to their hotel rooms. And the girls were half naked with their stilletto heels hanging from their hands. We checked into our rooms at MGM Grand and New York New York and slept as best we could for a few hours.
My computer is stupid so I don't have any pictures readily available for blogging purposes. Be patient...

i don't think it's supposed to make that clunk clunk noise!
A couple weekends ago my big update was that we bought a rug/carpet thing for the living room. Last Wednesday, the 4th day we owned that damn rug little miss daisy left us a giant poop on it. NICE! She left it some time during the night so that I could wake up to it. She is so considerate.
As we left the house that morning the car started making a clunkety clunk noise. Let's just say Wednesday sucked! The night before Zac and I had talked about our finances and we must have just jinxed ourselves! While the car was in the shop we still had to go to work and school....stupid work and school.
This past weekend was spent fixing stuff. Zac worked a bit on Mr. Y and I made a half assed attempt to get rid of the weeds. The most exciting part of this weekend was buying a new toilet seat to replace the ancient wooden toilet seat our hideous bathroom came with.
We just need to get through this week and we'll have our first house guest of the year. Zac's sister will be staying with us for the week and we have a ton of stuff planned!
