mugshot

The Heat is coming out this Friday June 28, 2013 not the basket ball team but the movie starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. Got the opportunity to see it at the LOOK cinemas this past week in Dallas.

It was hilarious some of the things that come out of Melissa's mouth are just so freaking funny. Love her and due to the partnering with Sandra they have become such good friends.

One of the funny quotes from the movie is when Melissa says that coffee filters serve as a dual purpose. They couldn't have picked two other than them to play these roles.

Before we got to see the movie they had a line up back drop to have photos taken. The best mugshot won a prize. We didn't get the opportunity to take the photo so I made my own backdrop. You will see here a mugshot photo of me. I am smiling. Who smiles in one? Well I figured if I ever get arrested it will probably be for something I believe in. I might have to step into a bully scenario and try to defend that person or try to fight for a cause. I've seen plenty mugshot photos when watching Tru TV or Snapped. So if my photo ever got blasted I'd want it to look descent so yes this is why I'm smiling.

(busted)

If you can come up with your own unique mugshot I'd love to see it but if you actually had one already well I hope that you got arrested doing a good deed.




i actually would probably be a little worried but meanwhile I"d say (had to be me)

one cent celebration

This Thursday we were celebrating CCGLA's ten years old. Didn't even know was such a thing. Their celebration was to be at Henry's Tavern in Plano. Friend Taylor won a raffle ticket, a free ticket to the August 17th Party on Lake Lewisville (a $45 value).  Its purpose was to serve as the Coming Out Party for Gay and Lesbian Alliance (GALA) North Texas.  They have merged CCGLA with the North Texas Equality Foundation (CCGLA's tax deductible educational foundation) to form GALA NTx.  

 

To our advantage we found out that Henry's Tavern had just opened and to celebrate they were promoting all their beers for one cent. Yes you heard one penny. We didn't know how true this was but we were still going to celebrate. We were told to tell the guy at the door that we were there for a private party. We actually didn't know how that was going to work out. You see when we arrived there was a line that curved like a snake trying to be patient waiting to get in. Like when you go to Cheddar's and have to wait forever to get a seat...but worse. We didn't know if we had to wait in this long long line. So I went up to the guy at the door and told him we were here for the private GALA party. He said welcome and let us in. Felt for a few seconds like royalty in my t-shirt and jeans. Once inside, they walked us to a room booked for the occasion. Everyone was friendly and welcomed us. We finally got a beer and while on my second one I asked, "Are these really a penny?!" The answer was YES! We didn't drink a lot but we did have to have a small tasting of beers. I'm not a beer lover but couldn't pass this up. My favorite was Framboise Ale so delicious I strongly recommend it.

It was a fun night enjoyed the company of friends. We were there celebrating two things, the coming out of GALA and the one cent beers.

But wait there is more it actually ends tomorrow June 23 2013. So gather yourself a group of friends drive to plano and check out Henry's Tavern and make yourself a believer. When have you ever heard of buying a beer for one penny?  Exactly!

So with this said...Happy Ten Years to CCGLA and welcome GALA, cheers.

friends you say?

Someone at my work doesn't believe in friends. But when I cry she cries, when I get mad she also gets mad, when I'm feeling down she is feeling down, when I am happy she is happy. I think she might be closer than a friend. I don't blame her for not believing. Friends are rare, almost extinct.

Keep your (friends) close and that whole thing about your enemies closer is just bad advice. Like I want my enemy looking at me all the time. The farther the better. I have trust issues.

The person I work with doesn't believe in friends. She is just one year older than me. That should tell you she is pretty young ;) When she was out of the country her daughter went into unexpected labor. She messaged me and we were there in her place. When my dad got seriously hurt back in 2011 she cried with me. She still to this day asks about him. When people call her racist I step in and defend her. When people tell me to go cross the border again, she stands her ground right next to me.

Its hard to find people like her. They are hard to find. She is one of a kind. I think I just rhymed.

We may live different lives but one thing that keeps us close is that we are women in today's world trying to live daily lives without all the bad stuff that tries to bring us down. She holds a special place in my heart if I ever loose touch I hope she is there to remind me that I'm not her friend just someone she knows. Because friends don't exist, because if they did it wouldn't be this good of a friendship.

Wouldn't want to jinx it.
