Blonde Ambition

And so it is, Katie Holmes has fallen like all of her other celebrity friends who have cute haircuts and then cover them up with extensions. I am without a hair role model and I must battle my hair follicles alone.

This is me before Katie and I had our fall out. Based on the photo of me I think it goes with out saying that I did a lot of soul searching on that scenic balcony and I have decided to return to my blond roots.

A picture of my former blond self. There is a lot of hair and 18 yr. old awesomeness happening in this photo, but I think this picture says exactly what all of you are thinking- Blond's Do Have More Fun!

I am issuing a call to all of my former blondies (shelly, shanna, bethany and all of my J high friends that would spritz hydrogen peroxide in our hair and then go lay out) to join me in going the way of the blonds.

48 hours in the City of Angels

as tyra would say, matthew's body of work looks too catalog and not high fashion enough to be considered america's next top model.

shelly and lindsay on a morning "boy patrol".

lindsay's number 1 goal for the trip was to eat some pizza (?). and number 2: to get our Getty on, which we did quite successfully.

steve mid textbook wallride (above), and just mere minutes later trying to bless our trip with a dime in the fountain wish for safety (below). what energy.

the gals just taking a stroll through the gardens, remembering their molly shannon and miley cyrus encounters from the day before.

when your favorite motto to live by is "dance as if no one is watching" (borrowed from a tattoo she saw on a really cool girl in school), you are thrilled to the very center when a group of latino breakers invites you to pop and lock with their crew.

losing our minds and breaking the bank at fingerprints in long beach and amoeba in hollywood.

paying respects to the ghosts of past concrete graffitti artists.

getting in touch with the weird, lonely pre-teen girl inside himself, steve tested out the stereo's tweeters with the his new favorite album, the twilight soundtrack, on repeat. matthew had to break his 6 day pepsi sobriety at 2am so that he could just survive the harshness.

girls just being girls at a santa monica ihop. we were all so young back then.

testing out our hearts tolerance for clogged arteries, we ate at roscoe's that same day.

finally, we waved goodbye to greatest spring break we've had so far this year.

Cool Cats and Birthday Cats

I know that blog posts have been a little sparse the past few months but with good reason. We have been really preoccupied searching the valley to find quality cat art, needless to say this beach towel made our hearts rejoice. Meow!

This is me post half marathon. They say it only takes two weeks of inactivity to get out of shape and they ain't lying.
Matthew turned 27 on the 24th!
To celebrate his birthday Matthew went to Barrio Cafe with a prepubescent 12 year old boy/girl that he is friends with.

This is Matthew enjoying his b-day spoils (records and books)

Do you think that I can print this post out and turn it in tomorrow in lieu of a 3-5 page paper about the profound impact global trade has had on the human trajectory? I sure hope so otherwise Mama in Trouble.

Chariots of Fire

This weekend Matthew and Brad reconnected in a romantic getaway in Sedona.


They allowed Shanna and I to tag along because we are curious about the supernatural and metaphysical worlds and Sedona is a hotbed for aging hippies and new agers who know a lot about UFO's and auras.

Matthew getting "educated" at the Ye Olde UFO Store.

it was a great trip. Thanks Kesbones.


.......Oh yeah, since we were in town we decided to run a 1/2 marathon. No biggie.

Correction: HUGE BIGGIE. Since our August pledge to run a half marathon Shanna and I have logged quite a few miles jogging/chatting.

We ended our 6 long months of training (way tooo long) by joining our fellow runners in Sedona to run 13.1 miles of the HILLIEST course I could have ever imagined. The scenery was beautiful, The mini snickers were delicious, The Ibuprofen was plentiful, the display of flesh and spandex was mind boggling, and the finish line was one of the sweetest sites I have ever seen.

Matthew showing his support and devotion by touching my armpits after the race, yikes!

Shanna and I getting our post race stretch on at the Giant gas station. If you wanna see my medal, good luck. Either I lost it or Brad has stolen it and is secretly wearing it under his shirt. If you wanna see more pics you can check it here.
If you wanna ask me how I started this sojourn never having run more that 1 consecutive mile in my life to becoming a professional athlete, don't bother I will tell you anyway.

2nd Annual Ryan's b-day w/ the Suns

in honor of an age old tradition celebrating ryan's birthiest day ever, he took matthew on a date to see the suns play. it ended up being the suns 2nd biggest margin of victory ever (48 points), so that was basically real nice, but on a sadder note it was most likely the last time we'll be able to see this suns squad in action before they trade amare and steve nash.
thanks to carla for the tickets, steve for losing the friendship competition, jason richardson for playing a great game, and most of all ryan, for being the greatest friend for a second consecutive celebration. see you next year.

bff's

about to tip off for a 48 point blow-out

matthew's height advantage almost assuredly garuntees victory over diana turasi

ryan and amare are soaring with the eagles with those wingspans
