Pork and Blogs

Friday night was a ham at Porky's! Oh gosh, I crack myself up. I got there a little bit late, but just in time to help Melissa put some good ol' country music on the jukebox. After months of saying we had to get together, it was nice to finally meet her. My hubby Tony was already there waiting (oops), but he luckily had Jeff to keep him company, and some mojitos:) The conversation was pretty eclectic. We went from what I REALLY DO ALL DAY LONG, which started a rash, to babies, to my wrist brace and then it erupted in inebriated babbling. Bruce was not far, especially when I needed a straw upgrade for my margarita. I never got to try the mojitos (sad face). EJ, Angelo, and Cynthia (Jeff's cool wife) were there too. EJ impressed Jeff with her ability to eat rice with chopsticks.

I got a money shot of Harry and Bree making something that looked like peace, and I'm-a opening bids ya'll! So far, Harry's put out offers for air time to help promote smokeless restaurants and Bree's come through with some Mandi Asian Spa passes. Hmmm... I'll keep fishing here for a while, but let me tell you, it's a beauty of a photo and the one with the best bid gets all the rights to the pic! In the meantime, enjoy some of the evening's shots. We did!

It's a Tony-Boni sighting everyone!

Who likes girls in glasses?

Hey- watch the head yo!

I sure wish I had those nachos right now

The Bald-win brothers! Ha, ha, ha

I disappeared like the illusive three legged striped hilitai that roams the Matuis jungle region. Sorry that I left without saying good-bye. I got a little homesick and truth be told, I just can't hang anymore. When I got home and looked at my watch, I had to do a double take. It was only, ahem, 10 o'clock?! Dude, I am a party animal!

Jean Therapy

These are the jeans I am working hard for. There's nothing special about them, they're just too small. My sister Yvette and I have a bet going for them. So see Deece, I have double duty here. The first one to fit into them gets to keep 'em. Unlike Angelo's contest, the winner here actually gets a prize. I know, Jeff wants to teach me to swim, but I think I'll wait until I can actually get into a suit, eh Jeff. Then we can have a blogger picnic and bring all our families. They can all stand at the shore and point at me laughing as I eat seaweed. Speaking of eating it, if I'm going to learn to swim, I think that Gus needs to be cajoled into facing his fears too. Wadda you say bloggers?

I should have asked for the Trib

Jeff's article is out, and now I can claim the title "mamarazzi" because it's been printed - and so it is. Now I feel pressured to write something brilliant, NOT!

Hi Alyssa!

I found Alyssa's blog! Actually, Alyssa found mine first, but it's so exciting! It's always nice to meet new people, and when Alyssa taught at GES, she added a lot of energy to the 2nd grade. I was personally sad to see her leave, but I know that she's on her way to changing the world! Even though she isn't on Saipan anymore, I think she needs to get added to the Saipan's Sexiest Female Blogger contest! If you want to learn Japanese, visit her site! Jya mata!

Bye Bye Ba-donk-a-donk Butt!
Okay Deece, this is really scary, but I will walk the weight-loss-let's-get-healthy walk with you my friend. I contemplated posting some before pictures, but I can't even get my hands to take a picture, let alone open myself up for the oohs and ouches when people see them. I think I will post an "in the middle of the muddle" photo. Here's my plan: excercise (I swear, I promise, I have to make myself do it) at least 3 times a week, low carb diet, and no skipping meals. Here goes....

Blogger Stew

Bloggers met last night. Gus played the uke and took a picture of me taking a picture of him. I got to see Bubbles in person and Bree (with no Dough). I met Arin. She's a lawyer, no a writer. No, an author. I can't wait to buy her book! Gus played his uke. Did I say that already? My son Tony said he rocked. EJ, my hero showed up. She's my hero because I party vicariously through her blog. Angelo found my site meter and taught me how to add something called meta data on my html thing-a-ma-jiggy. That's like data about data, or in Chamorro - stuffs about stuffs. Jeff ate ribs with rose colored glasses on. Which is good, because then he talked politics. Walt listened and smiled and Cinta smiled and talked. Ed took pictures. He's like a celebrity now. I know because the radio said so. Dr. Khorram the blogger interviewed bloggers to write about blogs they write. Captain Carl talked pugua in India. Bloggers met last night! Where were you?
