Long Time...No See

So I know what you have been thinking! Where has The Nguyener been? Well, wonder no more, I went and had a make over! A total body makeover, ya like?



Kids, Summertime....Got me going CRAZY! Enough said!

Wordless Wednesday: Highschool Blackmail Edition

They decide to unleash their inner dorkiness, and this was the result. Yup, I love them and their geekatude!

Do you hear that knocking?

I am tapping on your computer monitor to let you know I am here! I know posts have been few and far between lately. It has been pure craziness around the Nguyener household lately!

For some of you that are not following me on Twitter or on my Facebook you may not know that my Hubby had surgery on his head to remove a mass. At the time we did not know what it was so it was kinda stressful but we have since learned that it was just plain ol' fatty tissue. He's just a big ol' fat head! I told him it was his ego busting outta his head!! Anyway here is a picture of before and after. It's still pretty swollen and it will take awhile for the bump to go down. Now he is getting 2 black swollen eyes from it, Poor Guy!! Please excuse the nail in the first picture I was aiming for his head and missed! Kidding!

BEFORE

AFTER

Stitched Up
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then last week I got in a car accident and rear ended someone! My first at fault accident and it ended up with my Hubby's car being towed to the auto body shop! The guy I hit was Asian and at the scene he spoke really good English and said he felt fine. While we were exchanging information he even found it funny that I was a total white girl but had the same last name as him. Yup we were both Nguyeners, I thought I was gonna get the whole were family kind of treatment because we bonded in that brief moment. NOPE The next day my Insurance guy called me and said the guy is requesting a Vietnamese Interpreter and that he is claiming injury! WHATEVER, I thought we were homies! Good thing my Dad came to the scene just after the accident to help me. He was witness to the guys english skills and that he claimed he was feeling alright. Never know what he will try and claim. I know he may have been kinda sore because I know I was but I am already feeling better. I just hope he does not try and take advantage but whatever it is out of my hands! That's what insurance is for!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kids get out of school tomorrow and it has been hectic with the end of the year 5th Grade activities! She moves onto Middle School next year and so they do a big blowout for the 5th graders. Yesterday was the awards assembley and I am proud to say that my daughter received STUDENT OF THE YEAR!! Now not trying to brag or nothing but her Dad and I were also Student's of the Year but in Junior High so what can I say she is a chip off the ol' block! Not only did she get that award she far exceeded it by getting 4 other Awesome awards, one of which is a Presidental award and is signed by the President himself! IMPRESSIVE!! I think I was radiating a proud momma glow yesterday.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Google currently says I have 623 blogs to catch up on! Yeah I am just a wee behind! :)

This makes me laugh!

I hope this makes you laugh too! At least this is better than getting chit on!!

and I've been CROWNED!

No I am not sporting a new diamond encrusted tiara! For the money I am going to have to pay I should get a crown made of diamonds.

So last week I went to the dentist, and let me tell you I have a strong dislike for the dentist. Even more so now after this latest visit! No new cavities HOWEVER and this is a big HOWEVER one of my old fillings shrunk and allowed stuff to get under the filling and cause decay. Now making it necessary for me to have a root canal and CROWN! I have never had anything other that a filling. Remember I have a strong DISLIKE for the dentist. I am not looking forward to having this done, I am actually really uneasy about it. Now here's the clincher and where I need your input. I get to choose from 3 different types if crowns and none are made of diamonds. So if you have a crown I need your input.



It is number 21 on the bottom right side, the first pre molar. So it is slightly visible when I smile. Here is the breakdown of what my 3 options are, what do you have and suggest for me?

1. Non precious metal with nickel & White-$719.20
2. Gold & White (suppose to last longer)-$1188.80
3. Lava Crown Metal Free, most like a real tooth-$1293.80

There you have it! I am butt hurt at what my cost will be. I would much rather get new carpet or something for that kind of money!

Tell me what to expect with the root canal and what type of crown I should get. Give it to me....the good....the bad..&..the ugly!

or should I just sport the toothless look, it would be much cheaper!

P.S. on a good note I saw THE HANGOVER this weekend and laughed my azz off! I laughed so hard tears were streaming down my face. BEST MOVIE EVER!

Rollin...Rolling down the River

Rollin' down the river is exactly what Patti Blagojevich did at the beginning of the show. For you viewing pleasure!


Can I just say that watching this show on a 52" TV in High Definition was pretty scary. Good Lord between Janice Dickinson and Heidi Pratt's face I was partially traumatized. It was not pretty all sweaty and all natural!

Spencer had to say a prayer at the beginning to get himself through it and it pretty much consisted of "Please God Jesus" the whole prayer. and that was the same thing I was saying when I watched his rap video. Please God Jesus make it stop...but I had to watch just like a car accident. Your Welcome, I provided it for you all!



When Heidi found out what the conditions were she said to Spencer "I cannot not have sex with you for that long!" Ewww TMI Heidi made me throw up a little in my mouth thinking why would anyone would want to have sex with that thing!

Spencer telling Ben Silvermen the President of NBC "I'm TOO RICH and TOO FAMOUS" for this show! OKAY! He was trying to quit!

Heidi made it clear she could not sleep without Spencer, "He is my Hubby, my Love." So they proceeded to sleep in the love swing aka. the hammock. In the middle of the night the love swing got sweet revenge and dumped them both on the floor. Hahahahaha They fell out!

If I had a dollar for every time Heidi sprayed the dry shampoo in her hair or Spencers I would be rich. Girl was obsessive about doing that last night.

When Spencer was going of on Frangela for taking the label off the dry shampoo I thought it was so nice of Heidi to explain to the camera that Spencer was a very new Christian . Bwahahahaha



Did you catch when Spencer said this about Heidi crying. "This is the first time you are crying on TV and it's not fake!" We already knew The Hills was fake anyway, right?

When Lou Diamond won the Leader position it came with privileges. He could choose what he wanted some other people to do. Sanjaya Malakar happily volunteered to give Lou Diamond a foot rub every night. WTF he did always make my Gaydar go off! I hope he does not turn into the Foot Fetish guy from the Bachelorette! Weird!

Anyway, Those are some of the highlights from last night. I will not be writing anymore though because Heidi & Spencer supposedly quit for good this time. So unless they are back I won't be watching!

Not that I am keeping score or anything! Jillian is turning out to be a kissing whore!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Okay I tried to find video of Tanner P from last night because I was cracking up so hard at watching him rub her feet all over his face for like forever. This guy really has a problem. I don't think he even wants her he just wants her damn feet. I hope on next weeks show she shows up with both feet and not bloody stumps cause he hacked off her feet! I can see him in a room just caressing her severed feet! He is a FREAK! Check out the video above it is from the premiere, he totally can't help but try and sneak peeks at her feet. The video from last night does not seem to be on the net yet, if I do find it I will tune in with BREAKING NEWS!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
David, pictured above would love to chew Juan up like a piece of Beef Jerky and spit him out! He really has it bad for Juan (pictured below) and despises him with his every being. I get it, Juan does not really interact with the guys and is really too Rico Suave for me when he is talking to Jillian. Just a tad over the top! I see where it rubs David the wrong way but this guy is way too focused on killing Juan than he is trying to get to know Jillian!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KIPTYN

Jillian said she has great physical chemistry with Kiptyn and that she likes to make out with him. You can tell by the way she holds his face and gets into it. It seems like she wants to straddle him, just saying....she seems to enjoy the make out sessions. She says their physical chemistry has evolved faster than what they know about each other. Duh...because you are too busy making out to talk!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wes

I am so sick of hearing about your damn country song and how you want to spend time with Jillian so you can finish writing it. GET OVER YOURSELF, you are not GARTH BROOKS! You come off as trying to sell your country self to try and become known. Jillian I hope can see right through it! She seems to have blinders on for now though.

You finished the song and waited for everyone to go to bed the walked up to outside her balcony and started singing your ACHY BREAKY HEART song to her and swooned her and she invited you up! I hope you are the one with the girlfriend that gets found out next week because I think you are a sneaky slimeball.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I lied and said I was NOT going to watch I'm a Celebrity, Get me out of here! I watched it because my Mom did and said I could not miss it. I think I will do a recap of that as well. Just this week though because Spencer & Heidi quit so it will not be as fun now. I was gonna wait to see if Heidi's face would have completely melted off but now I don't have too!

I'm a BLOGGER, Get me out of here!

There is one couple I CANNOT STAND and this post will be about them or rather the she part of the couple. My favorite picture is the last one because I think it is the most accurate of her in all her glory! I will not watch this trainwreck but if you would like to it starts tonight. Not sure what time or channel!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before the Boobs, Lips & Nose Job

I don't know about you but this is the EXACT reason my Hubby will no longer go grocery shopping with me. He was so sick of me getting on the front of the cart like it was the TITANIC. I like to ride in the back also and get pushed around and makeout with my Hubby on the cereal isle while other mom's just reach around us for the Lucky Charms.

I always hate to get butt crease tans so to avoid them I also lay like this to get it just right! Nothing says come invade my brown eye like this pose!

or this pose! My God they are complete fame whores!

They signed up for this show! What they did not realize is they would be in a ACTUAL JUNGLE and not the FOUR SEASONS. They are competing for their favorite charity!

All excited before they actually get there! Look at us, we are gonna ROCK! and make out every time we are on camera.

Spencer said my face would not melt in the jungle, but he LIED to me! The heat is doing a number to all the plastic in my body! Look at this hideous shirt they are making me wear. Spencer does not approve of it because it does not show off "The Hills". We need to show "The Hills" or we won't have any income and then I cannot get a butt implant.

So they have been there 2 days and it was reported that they already quit twice. They changed their minds and came back each time. They are diappointed with some of the celebrities that are on the show with them which include John Salley, Sanjaya Malakar, Stephen Baldwin, Janice Dickinson, Ill. Govenor Rob Blagojevich's wife and Torrie Wilson.They said there should be some real celebrities on it like K-FED!

About last night

So last night was the kids Open House.

Daughter's teacher put together a end of the year video of the kids throughout the year. It was AWESOME, the kids really transformed through the year. Daughter will be entering Middle School next year and I can't believe it. This year she went from kid to tweeny bopper. She is a GREAT student and the teacher has made some cough...cough...subtle hints at her having a chance of becoming Student of the Year. We will find out if she is bestowed that award on June 15th. Hubby and I would be so proud because both he and I were Student of the Year's in Junior High. She would be like a chip off the ol' block.

However my son on the other hand I have been concerned with. The past few progress reports and report cards he has gotten on all that he: talks in class, has incomplete classwork and misuse of class time. Being that my daughter never got anything other than YOU ARE AWESOME on her report cards I did not know what to do when son started getting that. I know he is very social but I was more concerned with him not completing his classwork. So I was super hard on him, I took privileges away and reminded him every morning that he better pay attention and get his classwork done. I wrote some notes to the teacher to see if it was a daily thing or just a every so often. Well, I never heard back from him but I knew Open House was soon so I figured I was just gonna talk to him then. Son always told me that he was trying his best and was doing what he was suppose to. However I know my son can lose his attention quickly and also talk away! Afterall, he was the one doing karate on the soccer field when he was suppose to be running after the ball. So I continued to be hard on him.

Well last night we go meet his teacher and I ask all about his classroom time. He tells me son is doing great and has been talking less and completing all his work. He tells me that son is getting straight A's. So fast forward to when we are walking to the car I tell son GOOD JOB and he says SEE I TOLD YOU I WAS DOING GOOD. Que to me now feeling like a jackass and feeling guilty for riding him so hard. He got to choose 2 books from the bookfair for doing such a GOOD JOB. Maybe he will eventually be lined up for Student of the Year in 5th grade but I won't be holding my breath. He is not into school as much as his sister.

SO can I get a HIP HIP HOORAY for the little Nguyeners over here!! They deserve it! I am a proud Momma today!

Thousand Word Thursday

MY MEN!

For more Thousand Words Thursdays, Check out my friend Jen's Blog, Cheaper Than Therapy!

Bachelorette, I know I said I would not watch!

The Bachelorette
Yes I was sucked into this dang show after swearing that I would not watch again after Jason's Bachelor Drama! So here we go :)

So imagine your on your first date and the guy walks up to you and is like "Hey Wassup Hottie"! I would be thinking what a poser! Well that is what Brian said to Jillian when he saw her on the first group date. Turned out Brian was a poser and Jillian realized it. Just before the rose ceremony Brian stripped down to his nakedness and jumped in the pool to surprise and thrill Jillian. He DID NOT get a rose and he thinks it was because of his major shrinkage. He said she saw that he was hung like a light switch and that did him in! Sorry Brian, you are a poser!

Anyway back to the First Group Date. It was exciting she had a pool party and was upstairs with Michael and she went to go get the rose and Michaels eyes had a sparkle like yeah baby I am getting a rose. Jillian got the rose and proceeded to head out to the car and take off.

Chris came in to let the guys know Jillian had left and that it was their job to go find her. The paired up in teams of 2 and were given a map. They headed out to the Mini Coopers that were provided and took off. Brad & Wes were paired up and Wes was not happy about it. He said they were like Oil & Water. Brad was driving and I noticed that every time it showed them in the car the back window wiper was going back and forth....annoying.

Brad....The Brains!

Wes...The Country Crooner!

They had to go to certain destinations that led them to clues. One stop was Neil Lane jewelers where they had to pick out a necklace to give to her. There were 4 necklaces to choose from and when Oil & Water Brad & Wes got there they each wanted to give her a different necklace so they settled it like any man would and Rock, Papered & Scissored for it. Brad won but not without Wes questing his win and they took off with the necklace Brad choose.

Brad & Wes were the first team to find her and it turned out that only one of them were going to get the dinner date with her and she was going to choose who. Brad was saying that he was basically the one who got them there and if it were not for his brains they would not have found her. Well Jillian chose Wes and Brad was all butt hurt! Brad had to wait for all the other guys to show up and then a monitor that was showing Wes & Jillian's date was playing for them to see. Well they kissed and the guys went wild. They no likey Wes and say he is only there to show off his country music.

Jake's date was a one on one date! She took him to a western store to get all cowboy-ified! She had him trying on different shirts and HOT DAMN he has a nice chest & abs. Jake is a commercial pilot and when he first met Jillian he gave her a pair of wings, the kind they usually give kids on flights. Well she wore them out on her date....Awwwww. She surprised him and took them to the House of Blues and they were sitting and talking and a brave Jake swooped in and surprised Jillian with a kiss. Wow...me likey a guy that takes control and just goes for it. She liked it, you could tell. The next surprise was when the walls opened up and Martina McBride was singing to them. They got up and started dancing and when they were slow dancing he kissed her hand....another Awwwwwww! I likey Jakey! Swoon!

Jake..The Delicious!

His smile seems so genuine!

The next Group date was playing some basketball in Venice Beach. The guys were trying to impress her but none really had skills! Don Juan Juan thought it would be cool to hold Jillian up to the hoop and his dismount was not pretty because he ended up dropping her. He tried to redeem himself when the Harlem Globe Trotters left Jillian dangling from the hoop he rushed in to let her down, this time without dropping her. After that they went to the beach to chill. That's when Mike got into a Speedo and darted in front of the group and dove into the ocean. Jillian was impressed and gave Mike a rose.

Wanna Be Don Juan!

There is one thing I noticed that really caught my eye. Mathue and his eyebrows got kicked off last night. Take a look at these and if he has someone wax them for him I am not sure what shape that are going for. It looks like she shaves the top of them or maybe that is just their natural shape.

Mathue...The Brows!

Hard not to look at those brows...huh!

He looks MUCH better with them covered up!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amber, Where have you been all my life?

I think I have mentioned it on my blog before that I am one trick pony when it comes to food. I am not adventurous by any means and when I go to restaurants I always order the same things. I am not a vegetarian but I don't really care for meat. I will eat it on occasion but really can live without it. I also cannot stand seafood, So I make for a really cheap date.

Hubby on the other hand will eat anything and I mean anything. He loves to try new things and is very adventurous. We are so not compatible in the restaurant department.

So this weekend while we were in San Francisco we had people recommend all these restaurants to us that were all specialty places or good hole in the wall places. I was thrilled....NOT I was more thinking like give me a grilled cheese and we can call it a night. However I could see my Hubby practically drooling for all the restaurants.

We get in Friday about 4 and decide to go explore and grab a bite to eat. We walked and walked and walked and saw a Indian Restaurant called Amber, and I see Hubby's ears perk up. I kind of give him the look like HELL NO let's go find a Denny's or something. So we walk and walk and walk some more and by this time I am drinking my own spit I am so thirsty. We see a diner and my ears perk up.....at last but as we get closer we realize we really did not want to eat there. So we turn around to head back towards the hotel. We walk and walk some more and pass this Amber restaurant again. We stop and look at the menu...too adventurous for me, but damn I was tired, thirsty and hungry. So I give in....fine, let's just eat here. My hubby has eaten Indian food many times because he used to go to India frequently for work. Not appealing to me though! We get seated and I let the Hubby order, it was called Butter Chicken but was shredded chicken in a spiced up creamy tomato sauce, Rice and some Naan Bread.

As they brought it out to the table I could see Hubby look at me like Oh Shit is she going to like it. I kinda give it a look like Hmmmmm, took a big sip of my Diet Coke and dug in. As the fork came to my mouth I was hesitant but tried it anyway and let me tell you it was D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S! OMG I absolutely loved it! We were both stuffed and happy!

I was proud that I tried something new and that I actually liked it. I could see Hubby beaming that I went out on a limb and ventured out of my comfort zone. The secret to getting me to try something new is taking me on a long ass walk, make me super thirsty and my feet hurt like hell and I will settle for anything just to sit, eat & drink!

I liked it so much we went back the next night for dinner & cocktails!

Eye Spy with my little Eye

A contest at my friend Jen's blog. Are you a four eyed freak like me? Then you know the dreaded cost of getting new glasses. I have insurance and I still end up paying out the wazoo for new glasses. Hubby and I both need new glasses right now so we are actively looking for new frames. I would love to win Jen's contest!

She is giving away a $100.00 gift certificate to Eyebuydirect.com What I liked was I could get a feel for what the frames would look like on me by using their Eyetry tool. Click on the link below to take a look at the frames I choose.
Here is my Eye Try picture!

I would love to get these and save me some money!

Sights of San Franciso

Smart Bum, When some girl said she had already done her research on it, he said "So what is the cure for EMPTY BEERITIS?

Thinking of trading my Dodge Magnum in for this beauty! It would be like driving in a parade everyday!

Hubby took over the camera when he saw this guy's Moose Knuckle. It was way too big to be a Camel Toe.

Found a place for me and my girlfriends to hang out.

Good thing I did not have my kids with me, this sign surly would have made them ask questions. I would have had to explain something that in included mud or dirt.

This drives around town and also goes in the water. Pretty Cool!

Just another of the many bums around town. Did not know there were that many bums in San Fran.

This was seen at the airport as we were waiting for our delayed flight. CRACK IS WHACK, kids!

This was on the tray in front of me while on the plane. I just could not find the satin side of the tray to wear towards my face.

We had a GREAT trip, these are some of the must see sights of San Francisco! Serious pictures to come with stories to follow!

Tid-Bit Tuesday

Son came home last week singing"Shake your BOOB THINGS" instead of "Shake your GROOVE thing"! I wonder how long he had been singing his version of the song?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I made a dentist appointment for myself and the kids. My appointment is not until June 1st and I already am not looking forward to it and have anxiety about it. I am almost positive I am going to need a gum graft because I have receding gums. I am so excited I am doing cartwheels....NOT!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stud Muffin and I are headed to San Francisco this weekend. My Sister In Law works for Starwood Hotels and won a Hotel Stay at the W and could not use it so she gifted it to us. It could not come at a more perfect time because we are both burnt out. We have been so busy with the kids lately. It will be a nice break from life. I have not planned to do anything yet, I went there as a kid when I was like 11 but don't remember what all there is to do. Any Suggestions? I was thinking Alcatraz, Fisherman's Wharf & Ghiradelli Square.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am loving my new BLACKBERRY CURVE! I can see why so many people are addicted to them! Why did I wait so long to get my CRACK? I should have gotten one a long time ago. The same week I got mine I convinced SOXY DEB that she needed one so she has one now too. I love that I can Blackberry Message my friends. I now can bug Soxy Deb & Angry Julie Monday anytime of the day. WOOHOO! If you have unlimited text or a Blackberry and would like to get bugged by me let me know so I can add you to my contacts. :) Useless Knowledge and Celebrity Gossip are my specialties! LOL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Am I the only on sick of STUPID ads like this crowding my Internet? No, they are not too big. I think she can go a bit bigger and just get rid of her nose. Geez, this ad is so stupid! Thanks for reminding me of how thin my lips are. I would take by thin lips over some big as butt cheek lips anyday!
