Hope you week is going fantastic. I see Friday peeking out from around the corner.....

Tom Hardy
The dashing hot guy from the movie 'Inception'
As you all know I have a thing for Brit guys and I also love a guy that speaks the truth! Tom Hardy talks to the DAILY MAIL about sex with men.

"As a boy? Of course I have. I'm an actor for fuck's sake. I've played with everything and everyone. I love the form and the physicality, but now that I'm in my thirties, it doesn't do it for me. I'm done experimenting but there's plenty of stuff in a relationship with another man, especially gay men, that I need in my life. A lot of gay men get my thing for shoes. I have definite feminine qualities and a lot of gay men are incredibly masculine.A lot of people say I seem masculine, but I don't feel it. I feel intrinsically feminine. I'd love to be one of the boys but I always felt a bit on the outside. Maybe my masculine qualities come from overcompensating because I'm not one of the boys."

I am dying to see this movie Inception! Think we may go see it on Friday night.

Thoughts

So its been 2 months since my mom passed. I am doing better with the way I feel. I'm not so emotional....Still emotional just not really emotional. Had a nice visit at my mom and dads house on Sunday....Dad and I went through some stuff and talked alot. I took a few sentimental items to have at home and we went through some of her personal papers. I got her jade bracelet that hubby and I had got for her that she wore so often. As dad said it was her favorite. We had dinner together and just had a really good visit. It was hard to be in that house at first, kinda weird, but also very comfortable as I could feel her all around it. As my aunts say the whole house is "all Diane" (moms name is Diane) and its so true.....It still very hard to change things about or in it....I guess maybe in time my dad maybe able to do it ....just not now..... It was just really nice to be at her home where we spent so so many hours and times together. I know she was happy to see me back as I am sure she watches over me. I haven't been able to go back since she passed. It was a good thing I finally did. I went through her coat closet and I could smell her again. It made me miss her so much but I felt close to her again.

Dad is going home to Hawaii in a few weeks and I shortly after. It will be hard for us to be home n Honolulu without her but we know she would also be happy for us. I waited and waited hoping to get a chance to take her home but it never came as she never got strong enough :-( This would of been her trip so we be making sure to do all the stuff she enjoyed. And to make sure we enjoy ourselves. She would of wanted that. Dad and I wont be taking her home on this trip. Her final resting spot is The Valley of the Temples but we are going to do that later when all my siblings can also make the trip. We plan to do this next spring. However Dad asked that he and I work on picking a stone/plot for her and him when we go back next month.

So hubby and I went to a Hawaiian function on Friday which was awesome--We wished we could of stayed for the whole thing but we left to hit up a friends b day. He is a nice guy so we made sure to go. It was sorta a snore but it was nice to see some of the peeps. Saturday we got together with friends and it was just what the doctor ordered. We were both so happy and it felt really good.....had some great deep talks. We really have had so very few if any of these times since moms passing.....I haven't had a good talk or outlet like this in months! and man I needed it....gets me thinking on just strange it is to see how much the landscape has changed in our lives with people. I have come to realize who I want in my life and who I care to have in my life. Its like a light that just clicked .....Or a whole new theme park......I have touched a bit on all this in a few postings before....

I guess it somewhat has and continues to be enlightening to see who was and is supportive.....especially at a time one may need it most- not that it is something one should expect nor should it matter really nor should it measure someones friendship-- but lets face it... it kinda does! Ha! I got more heart and support from some of my blog buddies that I have never met in person as compared to some yahoos here in Seattle that call themselves friends. Not that I was super surprised for the most part on this. But now most importantly I now know the ones that should indeed be cherished in my life. And yes there are some that I really would like to have nothing to do with anymore really.....so over them....but I am sure in time. So I keep them at arms length... Plus I know what comes around goes around so it will all work out in the end.

Anyhow its all good. Sometimes I get lonely- As I used to confide in my mother so much and now that's missing as I don't have anyone here in Seattle to talk with like that anymore . Well one but he is busy with his family most of the time. I have my best bud in AZ and he has really been there. He will be in Hawaii with his partner with us next month so that will be so very cool...I have the best hubby but sometimes you need a third party.....Oh well I'm rambling again and this post is getting much to long and crazy.... In ending lets hope things keep falling into place as it should. I am hopeful life will get to where it should be...

Get well soon..
Daddy and Alika is under the weather...
What a weekend! It was busy and it was eventful....So eventful that the hubby was feeling that he was about to get a cold on Sunday. Maybe he had too much fun over the weekend? .No I think it is really due to the stress at work.... he has been super sick the last few days and I hope he is better soon.

Then we have one of our kids "Alika" that started puking and did so all Sunday night and into yesterday....it was scary as he kept us up all night. He had both his daddies so worried! I stayed home with him all day yesterday and he seems to be on the road to recovery now. He did not start eating till last night so I was worried. We believe he had the flu or food poisoning....Daddy Jeff is home with him today- They are nursing each other back to health.

Wait is over..
Weekends here again...Ready for the weekend? I am looking forward to it! We have a Hawaiian CD release party tonite....A friend named Roddy Lopez....It will be nice to see the usual suspects in the Hawaiian community that we love so much... We going suck em up! ( Suck em up is an old Hawaiian phrase used back in the Don Ho days! )

Tomorrow we plan to have friends over for dinner...We invited them all over last night as hubbys in the mood to cook and so am I. But I was just invited to a big b day bash and now we have to decide if we should do that or have the dinner. We can take the guest with us tomorrow night is what we may end of doing....LOL! Well will see how we feel tomorrow am... Other than that its a weekend to chill... Hope yours is good too! Suck Em Up!

Vampire Love
True Blood=True Hotness
True Blood mania is all around us these days! Top is the cover of Rolling Stone that I would prefer--Sorry Sookie but I do love you too but......lower is actual cover......tee he he. Its crazy how True is just in its third season and its even more popular than ever! Not only is the show hot as ever but the humor seems to have increased and its gotten more funny quotes and references in its 3rd season...its just a great show! I LOVE YOU Alan Ball! You create and write some wonderful shows man! True took my Six Feet Under void when that show ended!

Just saw Anna Paquin on Graham Norton this week-- Oh Sookie!!! I didn't know she was the little girl from the movie The Piano! Did you? She actually won an Oscar at 14 for it. How very cool! I have to note as I have said many times in this blog...Mr Graham Norton rules!

All the boys on True are hot hot and hot.... Holla and shout out to Mr Jason Stackhouse! But of course I have the BIGGEST damm crush on Alexander Skarsgard who plays Eric...He is SO MY TYPE! I can watch and look at him all day long...so fricken sexy! Did you know Alex was up for sexiest Vampire at Comic Con last month? Against all the hot vampires we want to suck us dry....Like Mr Paul Wesly--who I adore on Vampire Diary's along with his hot bro Ian Somerhalder!! Whoo wee! Paul actually won.. I love ya Paul but I think my Alex was robbed... It funny how all these boys have been posted several time on this blog....Love me a vampire!

Ahhhh....So many vampires and so little time..LOve them all....but hands down Alexander Skarsguard is the vamp I would choose anytime, anyplace, and any day! He can be my maker!

Actual RS cover this week.

pretty cool!

Design Star
More like Design Bore and Snore this season!
I so agree with this fella! This show is making me flabbergasted this season! First I have to comment on the judges...I will always LOVE Candice Olson...She is my number one and I was happy when she joined the show and she can do no wrong.....Second...Why is Genvieve Gorder a judge? She seems nice enough but I have never seen anything that she has done that I have even liked on her show...So I don't know if she is even talented? Third.... Mr Vern Yip- why is this gay midget in such a bad pissy mood this year? Maybe the new kid is giving he and his partner some sleepless nights these days? Anyhow its seems strange that this is a Mark Brunett produced show......

I am going to say BRAVO to Bob at I Should Be Laughing for this statement as I could not have said it better about this season!

Dump these collaborative, food as inspiration, art as inspiration, bread baskets as inspiration, souvenirs as inspiration challenges. If these design tests are supposed to show how they can design and host their own show, have them do their own designs. All this group work this season is/was a train wreck.

yep yep yep! INDEED!

For me.....I have to say I was just not impressed with the picks or sure any of the contestants this season was at all talented? I think it was maybe due to us not being able to see any talent with the way they had the challenges set. I am just glad Courtland was axed last week! Cortland just had a big head and big motor mouth that never seemed to shut the fuck up. Last night was a goodbye to Lauren of the top three. I really kinda wanted Laureen and Emily in the end as I wanted Michael to get the boot....he is another one like Courtland that kinda worked and got on my last nerve.......He reminds me of a prissy gay elf...and not a good gay elf! So now we have Emily and her quirky styles and quirly self....I am going with her for my pick to win......Not so much for talent but because I want Michelle I mean Michael to cry like a bitch.

BUTT I said
TGIF!
Nice ass huh? Happy weekend buckaroos! I am happy as heck its Friday! Work has been Stressful, Shitty and I am just So Over It. I know I know some of you are saying I should be thankful I have a job....but when I can talk and elaborate more about the situation I will..... And then you all will understand why I just wish it would just end. I didn't want it to end to a few months ago and now I am at a crazy point with it all.... I will need to get a new job and get into the crazy situation of looking for a job in this economy or becoming a bum ......will see what happens....anyhow I just hope we will be ok in the long run.....if it does happen it will be a meant to be sitch and we can look forward to some changes...so scary but also kinda exciting!

Looking forward the nice weather forecast we have for the weekend-- 80's and 90's which will extend well into next week they say. I know alot you out there in other areas have had a real summer and are so over the heat but we have been very cool here....So we are happy in the Pac NW for some HEAT! Last week was crazy as it poured all weekend. Pics below of our Seafair weekend. YES I am in a fricken sweater on a boat in August. WTF! I'm glad we had cocktails as the boat was rocking and rolling and I think it actually helped me to not get sea sick!

So no plans for the weekend... Which can only mean its going to be a good one! I want to party and enjoy the sunshine so I am sure I can find someone that wants to do the same with me......he he ...Plan to go roller skating at Alki Beach tomorrow.. Now if only this day at work could somehow go faster....

Hubby and I WTF! Dont take my pic! Val was ready! :-)

Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument
This is so COOL! The Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument a pristine haven for coral and other marine life, and a treasured site of ancient Hawaiian shrines — has been named a U.N. World Heritage site. It is a HAWAIIAN marine national monument and is the first U.S. location added to list in 15 years! Beautiful and a mouthful eh?

Diamonds are a girls
I mean a boys best friend....
Mr Derrek Diamond-- More here. NSFW!! I love this guy and even more with the fuzzy face... HOT!

Its Tuesday..... Was under the weather yesterday. More than anything I just needed a mental health day big time. Back to work today and its blah blah blah! Have some medical stuff going on at the end of the week that I am not looking forward too AT ALL. I told you all about how I was a butt model last week for the doc. Well now its the colonoscopy this Thursday. I heard the actual procedure isn't so bad... its the 2 days prior-- the prep that is super el yucko....Drinking that stuff you have to drink is really bad I guess.... Yikes!

A Sunday thats a

little fuzzy...

Woke up this morning a little fuzzy!! I think I had a bit to much to drink last night at a dinner party. I still could taste the alcohol when I got up! It must of been the ice tea with vodka or the peach with vodka or the pineapple starfruit with vodka drinks I consumed last night... Met some nice folks and had a good time with friends. Little bittersweet kind of day since it would of been moms 62nd b day..... Emotional morning today...

Hope the fuzz clears...We plan on going to go out with my dad and aunt and go visit my other uncle and aunt today...If I can get off my ass and get motivated! Have a good Sunday!
