Life according to the iPhone

 Her one, solid trick

 Driving 12 hours in a day, in a Uhaul, for work.

Typical.

 Astros game.  We lost.

Also typical.

 Let it be known that a tiny, thin, white guy was actually driving this vehicle

Slow your roll, Hobby Lobby.  This was taken the 2nd week of September...

Happy weekend!

Foul? What foul?

Tiny kids playing sports.  Hilarious, right?  They run the wrong way, they get distracted really easily, they cry...

Now put them in a sport that not even all of America understands and watch with glee.

4 year olds playing soccer is just as hysterical as you think it would be.  Even more so when you're mildly hungover/possibly still drunk.

Our oldest niece turned 4 this year and finally gets to play soccer in their neighborhood league.  Saul played growing up, all through college, and is still on a men's league team, so he was pretty pumped when he found out she was interested.  We've been to a few of her games and oh my god, you guys - they're awesome.

They only play with 3 girls from each team on the field at a time and the field is like, a 16th of the size of a normal field.  They pretty much disregard the end lines and there is no goal keeper.  Their coaches stand behind each goal, cheering for he girls so they run the right way.  They don't officially keep score until they're 6, but you can bet your asses Saul and I are keeping tally (Brazil - niece's team - won 13-5 their first game...no big deal).

Some photos, for your enjoyment:

Happy Thursday!

Not quite top 5

Do you guys have a Top 5 list?  You know - the 5 people you're allowed to hook up with and your significant other can't get mad?  I've always been a little boy-crazy, but I've never really had a solid Top 5 list.  Also, pretty sure that if I ever did actually encounter any of the people I lust after, I'd be totally speechless.  Forget about some wild tryst - I'd be lucky to say hello.

I had, um, questionable taste in boys when I was younger.  I was definitely a typical teenage girl - walls plastered with magazine spreads of my favorite guys (stapled up, no less...yeah, the parents were THRILLED about that), stacks of BOP and Big BOPPER in the corners of my room, and home-made collages stuck under the clear front of my school binder (shut up - you did it, too).  When we moved from California to Texas when I was 15, I found out that all teenage idols are not equal, region to region.  The dudes I was obsessed with as a teenager were totally the norm in California...in Texas, nahsomuch...

Jonathan Brandis (RIP)

Ladybugs and SeaQuest DSV

I wrote a letter to him when I was like, 11.  I got an "autographed" (pretty sure it was a stamp) stock photo back.  I put it in a plastic sleeve and carried that bad boy with me EVERYWHERE.

I know, I know...you can't handle the coolness.

Andrew Keegan

Hello - CAMP NOWHERE?

I was convinced we were going to get married...as soon as we were able to meet.

That hair, that tan, that smile...also, the sweet striped shirt and leather necklace.  Yum.

I definitely had this exact BOP poster on my wall.

Thomas Ian Nicholas

I'd just like to go on the record saying that I loved this dude BEFORE American Pie.

See what I mean?  Questionable...

Saul still makes fun of some of the guys I find attractive now and every time I mention a guy that is in my Top 5, he reminds me that actually I have something like a revolving Top 15 and he points out that I can't ever remember who's actually in it.

He's totally right.

So today, right now, here's my list.  Not all of them are here because they're smokin' hot - some are on because I just think they're funny as hell.  Let's see who agrees with me...

 

We'll start with the obvious hot guy - Joe Manganiello

If you watch True Blood, you know where I'm coming from.  Also, if you've seen Magic Mike, I can't imagine how you wouldn't be on board with this one - his name in the movie is BIG DICK RICHIE, for crying out loud.

*I do think he looks kind of dumb, though.  Pretty face/body, but I don't have a lot faith that there's much going on upstairs.

Another pretty boy - Jesse Williams

I love his character, Avery, on Grey's Anatomy.  And those eyes...yowza.

Josh Holloway

Oh, Sawyer...I miss Lost so much and you're one of the main reasons.

Please show back up on Community.  PLEASE.

Joshua Jackson

C'mon...who DIDN'T prefer Pacey?  Face it - Dawson was a giant nerd.  Pacey was the guy you wanted to hang out with.  Also, dating Diane Kruger just ups his hotness for me.  They're totally beautiful together.

Justin Timberlake

Loved him in N*Sync, so he's basically transitioned from teenage crush to adult crush with me.  He's funny, smart, and a good dresser.  Boom.

Now onto the guys who crack me up...

Jason Bateman

Arrested Development, anyone?  Michael Bluth is my favorite.

He's hilarious.  I love him.  I find him weirdly attractive.

Paul Rudd.

I've loved him since Clueless, and I think he's totally aged well.  Again, so so funny.  Love.

Now onto the guys who are on the fence (pretty sure they'll be devastated to hear that)...

 Joseph Gordon Levitt

Ok, I can't figure this one out - on one hand, he's slightly-less-squinty-dude from 3rd Rock from the Sun.  On the other hand, he's super-dapper-hottie-in-a-suit from Inception.

I know, I know...I don't get it either.

 

Jude Law

Another internal conflict for me.  Super hot in The Holiday (awful movie, but one I will watch every freaking time it comes on TV, just for him), super brainy in Sherlock Holmes, but can also look dirty as hell and barftastic.

So there you have it...my random, all over the place list.  Anyone agree with any of them?  Anyone have the same conflicts?  Do tell.

Happy HUMP Day

;)

 And, just because I am DYING over this...
