Viva la tomboy!!

So I have a few confessions for y'all this Wednesday.

Okay my first confession which may or may not be a shocker, is that I've always been somewhat of a tomboy most likely due to the fact that I grew up with the boys. I was brainwashed that girls can and will be  toyed with by a boy they like so I needed to beat them to their own game and if I liked a boy, the best way to show him was to just be a jerk. Also, never let my brothers/ cousins find out about him for the sake of his life. Another "important lesson" I learned from their manner was that my feelings should never be expressed (especially if they're sentimental) because that would be considered whining or just inappropriate.
But besides all of this information my brain was soaking up like a sponge in water, I've always enjoyed doing things boys like to do. I played outside allllllllll day, rode around on Rollerblades or bikes, played out war scenes, and I was obsessed with walkie talkies and Hot Wheels & their awesome tracks. Even in high school, I would watch ESPN for an hour without realizing that none of my brothers or their friends were even around, so I could've actually changed the channel if I wanted to, but I didn't. I remember I would always steal my brother's shirts and wear them cause they were way more comfortable than the tight and figure flattering clothes girls were supposed to wear. Then I would get a Charley horse when they couldn't find their shirt the next day or spotted me in school walking around in it. It didn't make sense to me to get dressed super cute for school just so I could sit all day uncomfortably instead of in a loose & cozy T-shirt, so I chose to be comfy at the expense of my brothers not having many clean shirts and my legs being bruised up for a day or two.

Yeah, this was pretty much me back in the day.

Even though a little bit of that tomboy still lives inside me, I still have my ultra girly moments like squealing over a insanely cute pair of heels that I tell myself I MUST have or hoard numerous amounts of eyeshadow and nail polishes or just being a shopaholic. But today I felt the tomboy in me make an extreme comeback, read on...

Well, this morning I had a big breakfast so of course by the time lunch was upon me I was still not hungry (don't worry, that's not my other confession). In times like this I always head to the nearest shopping plaza to get out of the office and "window shop" to get an idea of what I want to purchase when I do have money to splurge (I quoted window shop because sometimes I reason with myself that a pair of pants or shoes are truly more important than eating lunch for a week. I know, I have a problem; tell me something I don't know). 

I digress as usual; Okay so now that summer is upon us in this lovely city of Phoenix, I have been trying to find non-work attire that covers pretty much just the basics (boobs & butt) because when it's 106 degrees outside like today, I could walk around in a bikini (if I was comfortable enough to) and still feel like I have too much clothing on. -What's with all the parenthesis in my sentences? I don't know, I have a lot of side notes for you. You're welcome- 
So today I did something I haven't done since my high school days... I shopped for MYSELF in the young men's section (there it is finally, 2nd confession)!! It was honestly a little surprising at how much neon pink, purple and orange was on the racks, but I guess those are just fun summer colors that anyone can wear. Also, it was kind of funny going into the fitting room at the same time as some teenage boy with almost the same exact shirt he was trying on. But yes, I did get a couple of tank tops to sport around this summer that are still figure flattering (just not holding onto my torso for dear life, which will make me even more hot and cranky) that I can throw a cute cami under to have that spiffy surfer girl look.

This is definitely one reason I'm glad I am a girl, 'cause I don't know how many straight men can walk into the Junior's or Women's sections in a store and find something that will look good on them... well, besides skinny jeans lol.

Perfect tomboy weekend attire

Chi Town Update

Hellllloooo 85 degrees!! How I've missed you!! It's been quite some time since we've been with each other!! Please come home to the Valley of the Sun with me... please!! The humidity is NOT as bad as I expected, but my hair is still wildin' out and the mosquitoes are out EVERYWHERE!

The city is awesome as always, and there's extra extra people everywhere thanks to Lolapalooza being in town this weekend. I swear yesterday I seen James Franco's brother walking when the show was over! I forget his name, but he's just good looking as his brother. Anyways, yesterday we spent the day at Navy Pier and Millennium Park. The breeze is amazing and night time in Downtown is even more amazing. There's so much going on all the time I wish I could live here just for the summer. Kinda like how Snow Birds come down to Arizona in the winter to escape the cold, I can escape the dry & empty downtown for humidity & fun. I really need to get on finding that sugar daddy! Maybe tonight when we have some adult fun and go out! Chicka Chicka Yeaaauuhh!

On today's agenda is our family reunion, which should be great! Wish me luck in the forrest preserves. Heat + humidity + mosquitoes = getting extra drunk so I feel nothing! Oh yeah, I'll probably need someone to take me for a blood transfusion when I get home too. Toodles!

Here Fishy, Fishy, Fishy!!

Happy Friday everyone!! In preparation for my upcoming Chicago Trip NEXT THURSDAY, I am making it a point to perfect the art of the Fishtail Braid this weekend. Yes, it's THAT fabulous that I've used capitalized letters for it, like a National Monument. I've watched the how-to videos on YouTube I dunno, about 23 times and I still can't get it right. But with the weather forecast of humid and hot plus rain, (Hello swamp ass!) my hair will have to be in braids and updo's for my whole trip. I've also got to remember to buy some adult diapers too for asorbing the moisture...

Anyways, now brace yourself... here is a picture of the sexiest braid you ever laid your eyes on:

Am I right or am I really super right? Ok, blow dry your thongs now ladies. I'm sure it won't be hard to pull off the messy look with all the humidity in the air, but it's going to be a bit of a challenge from keeping the top of my head looking like a lion's mane since I've been spoiled with dry Arizona weather. So if no one hears from me this weekend, don't worry, I am most likely alive just sitting on my bathroom counter upping my chances for Arthritis at the age of 35.
