Debut podcast!

Our debut podcast in which we learn about Sarah's unfortunate mishap after taking her youngest to the park, the fact that one of us has an innate fear of microphones, a little too much about feeders and that our bio wasn't lying, we really do laugh quite a bit, and Nic really does snort.

Enjoy!

Special thanks to The Dave (Nic's awesome and totally not stupid brother) for the mad production skills, www.thethomasbrotherz.com for use of their studio, The Hippie for recording our ridiculousness, and to anyone who actually listens to this thing.

END TIMES!

There was a big giant blackout in So Cal Thursday night. Seems some tool in Yuma pulled the wrong thing. (Which sounds like a bad ending to a date, but that's a story for another time.) We had to amuse ourselves with no electricity for 10 hours without getting all shooty/stabby/rioty. It was touch and go for a while. And I'm only talking about my house.

It may not be much of an emergency situation to people in the Midwest or south where power outages are more common but here in San Diego, you would have thought the world was ending. People on the radio were saying things like "apocalypse" and "end times" (I'm not joking).

First up was a trip to the grocery store. Our home is almost completely unprepared for emergencies. I say "almost" because I had plenty of alcohol and cigarettes and knew where I had stashed the jumbo bag of tea lights. Food was a completely different story. So we spent about 30 minutes wandering around the dimly-lit store asking each other what kind of stuff we should get. SPAM? Tuna? Powdered milk? We ended up $116 poorer with many cans of stuff that we would not normally eat. And more whiskey.

I realized during our little foray into darkness how dependent on electricity we are for entertainment around here. It's just not something I tend to think much about, possibly because I would have to admit that I have a problem. (Hi, my name is Nic and I'm an internet addict.) But it's kind of fun to be unplugged for a bit. We swam, barbecued, played games and had actual conversations that were not about what was on television or the fact that the boys hate the music I put on.


I did have to put my foot down when they started coming up with other activities. Looting and playing outlet roulette with metal knives until power was restored seemed like bad ideas.


All in all, it was almost fun. Like camping but with less dirt. We learned a few valuable things, too.

The Hippie: "I learned that in a situation like that, there are no other people I'd rather be with. And to make sure the van has gas."

The Dave, well, he's sleeping, but the fact that the first thing I heard at 2:40 when power was restored was, "OH SWEET JESUS!!" means he learned that he really, really likes his air conditioner.

I learned that I can actually survive without my laptop as long as my smartphone is charged.

*** Sarah Does San Diego ***

Because I know how reading long posts about someone's vacation can make you want to stab your eye with a rusty fork and fill the socket with rubbing alcohol, I'll sum this trip up in a few sentences and photos...

Friday Night - Flight to San Diego was delayed an hour.  Had my dinner on the plane.  Thank God we stopped at In-N-Out Burger on the way to Nic's from the airport.




Got off the plane in San Diego and after grabbing my luggage,
THIS walks in to greet me...




Pardon the blurry but you really need to see this shit up close!


Friday night consisted of us sitting on the patio, drinking beer,
and laughing our asses off.






I went to bed with my snuggle buddy, Baby Lennon, and luckily woke up the next morning before Nic blared Justin Bieber's bullshit throughout the house.

Baby Lennon, aka Bitch Tits



Nic showed off her Martha Stewart skills and made a kickass breakfast.
(Excellent work on incorporating protein, Nic!)



Nic can kick Martha's ass in a penis pancake contest!




Nic and I decided to go thrifting.  We really love our new dresses. 
Can you tell?






After thrifting, we filled our bellies with Chipotle,
then got a wild hair up our asses and got our noses pierced!


Yeah I know, you can't see the piercings well.  Just pretend cuz they really are there!


I learned not to announce you have to take a shit while at Nic's house, or you will walk out of the bathroom and see this hanging across the doorway...





Other things that happened that I don't have pictures of...

~ Waking up Sunday morning to the Macarena blaring throughout the house ~
~ Baby Lennon farting on me...more than once.  Cat farts smell horrible!! ~
~ Sarah and Nic recording their first podcast. ~
~ Nic's multiple snorts throughout the weekend from laughing too hard. ~
~ Sarah and Nic fertilizing the yard on the side of the house ~
~ The Hippie being EXTREMELY patient & sweet the entire time I was there ~


After Nic and The Hippie dropped me off at the airport and after many hugs and "I love yous", I made it to the line for security.  As I reached in to my carry on bag for something, I found a little note tucked in the side pocked written by the one and only Nic...


I love you too, stupid wench.


The trip was amazing, too short, and absolutely full of laughter. 
I miss my best friend immensely and can't wait to see her ugly mug
again in a few weeks!!!
