Sochi Life.

You may have noticed that we missed a post on Wednesday and we are so sorry for that, we have just had very limited access to internet here in Sochi. We’ve been having the time of our life courtesy of our sponsor Eat Cookies For Breakfast and wanted to share some of our favorite moments with you!

Tropical-Spot(We heard Sochi was one of Putin’s favorite “tropical” spots and therefore only packed shorts and swim suits. Luckily, someone loaned us some of these cool rainbow colored wind breaker suits!)

Sochi Hotel(Our hotel room lost our reservation but they did have some open space in the hallway with one blanket and pillow. Brittany tried to keep warm with her bourbon but instead kept me up all night with drunk laughter, I guess she was making the most of it!)

Sochi Tap Water(The receptionist at our igloo let us know the water was unsafe to drink so we decided to hit the bars and rehydrate with ice cold brewskis instead!)

Sochi Olympics(We scored some discounted tickets to a new event but turns out “Zamboni” is the ice cleaning machine and not a sport, no wonder they were so cheap…)

We are so excited for the 2014 Sochi Olympics to get started! Go USA!

All Things Pumpkin.

We’re so excited for Fall, we had to reblog a favorite!Pug Sweater

I think by now you have figured out that Autumn is our favorite season, not just because kids are back in school and have stopped razor scootering around us like we are in a game of Frogger but because we just F@#*ing love pumpkins.

Phoenix the Cat

(About two years ago I found out that Brittany liked cats so I decided to show her a picture of my friend’s cat, Phoenix, who was dressed up like a pumpkin. She proceeded to laugh and cry at the same time for the next 15 minutes. I don’t see what is so funny though)

Pumpkin Spice Latte(September through November means a significant weight gain for me because I dabble in the daily Pumpkin Spice Latte market. They are available at every coffee shop so it is kind of impossible to avoid. I tried taking different routes to work but I just ended up lost, late, and sitting in a pile of leaves sipping on a Pumpkin Spice Latte from a coffee shop I just discovered on my new route to work)

Pumpkins Muffins

(I can’t stress enough how important it is to eat at least one thing Pumpkin related each week in Fall. Not sure if you have done this yet but make some of our Pumpkin Muffins this weekend and fill that quota)

Smashing Pumpkins(I love this band and I love Billy Corgan. It’s not like I am obsessed, have a restraining order, and a tattoo of their logo on my butt…yet. Anyway they are on tour now and just released an amazing album called Oceania which is totally my new jam)

Pumpkin Beer(Blue Moon makes a good Pumpkin Ale that is completely seasonal. Drink with caution, you don’t want to end up as a pumpkin who has had one too many- it’s just not a good look)

Bowling For/With Dummies

SeaBowl

Remember this post? Well, once we got to the top I showed my friend the local bowling alley called Sea Bowl. He promptly started walking towards it (across the highway) and I realized we were going bowling. I don’t like to brag but I was a co-founder of my high school’s Bowling Club so I know a thing or two about the sport. I have put together a simple “how to” to get you started.

Walking Sign(Step 1: If you are walking across the street, follow the guide;  it will keep you safest)

Make Friends(Step 2: Make friends, say hello, and be jolly in general. It will help you to get a lane faster)

Spongebob Squarepants(Step 3: Put on those snazzy bowling shoes. Thank goodness I was wearing my Spongebob socks, that could have been embarrassing…)

bowling balls(Step 4: Select the ball color of your choice, the color is very important)

smile(Step 5: Smile and get ready to bowl, for if you are not smiling you are not truly bowling)

bowling(Step 6: NEVER LOSE FOCUS!)

If you follow these easy steps, I GUARANTEE you will be the next Lebowski. My bowling how-to guide will be hitting the bookshelves this Fall so look forward to that!

What it Feels Like to Lose a Follower…

IFL Headquarters

I guess (s)he wasn’t that into us. You know this blogging thing is a real wave of emotion.  One day someone new clicks that magical “+follow” symbol on your page (hint hint) and cha-ching we’ve got a true friend for life!  A golden email brightens up our mailbox and we instantly giggle with delight for it is a glorious moment. But guess what? It isn’t all cupcakes and rainbows because apparently they can un-follow us just as easily! What gives, WordPress? What gives?! Seriously, if we try to unsubscribe to a local grocery store mailing list we have to call an 800 number, wait on hold for 15 minutes, give them our mothers’ maiden name and then agree to full body cavity search we must plan for later that week- and it must be that week; we have to take a day off of work. The “unfollow” button is a little too easy of an out but we still love you WordPress!

We wanted you to know what we go through each time we lose a follower.

I Will Remember You. An Obituary.

It was the best of times, now it’s the worst of times. When I was a kid my summers meant endless bicycle riding in the cul-de-sac with a bright pink Hostess Sno Ball in my hand. Just recently Hostess announced the end of an era and my childhood with the death of my beloved Sno Ball.

Sno-BallWhat can I say? You were there for me, providing me with nothing but love, sugar, and an amazing amount of nutrition. You never raised your voice or doubted me. And now you are gone. I will never feel your squishy exterior in my boney fingers or taste your marshmallow insides again. I am not sure if the world will be the same without you. How could it?

Hostess Sno Ball(The children weren’t your only admirers, the art community has been affected by your loss too)

French Bulldog with a Hostess Sno Ball(Oh, the fun we had. I will always remember the good times. I will quickly forget the times when I couldn’t fit into that tight tank top because of you. But I will never forget the puppies, what will become of the puppies?!)

Crying baby

(No one will be able to compare to you. There was only one you.)

Kim Kardashian(Sit down, Kim! SIT DOWN! You are such a show stealer! This is Sno Ball’s moment, okay?! We are all trying to get through this TOGETHER!)

RIP Sno Ball(May your light shine on forever)

You are gone but not forgotten. I will avenge your death and ensure that those who took you from us will experience harsh justice. I will force feed them Home Run Pies and not the real kind, the cheap rip off brands you get at the grocery store.
