This is going to be a quick blog that mostly consists of pasting, but I think it will be enjoyable nonetheless.Training for the 3day has been going relatively well. It is a little difficult to take these weeks (we're at week 19 now) seriously, since there is an 18-week plan, but in an effort to get my booty in gear, I told my students about the walk, and asked them to stay on me and make sure I

For those of you who know me, or who have been following my blog for a while, the Mamalitia is back!In case this concept is new to you, I will do a brief run-down...Two years ago, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer.One of my friends then told me that she would walk in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day with me. This is a three day, sixty mile walk to cure breast cancer. Shortly after, I started

Ok, so I have no idea why this is bold and underlined, but I tried to make it stop, and it wouldn't, so please deal with it!Anyway, I am caught up on grading, and I bought a car, so I feel like I can blog without feeling like I am shirking responsibility. One would disagree if he or she saw the condition of my bedroom currently, however.Anyway, (Ooh, now italics? WTF!?) Here is a picture from

Alright... Back in business! Hopefully I will also be able to bang out a few posts during Winter break, which starts for me next week.Anyway, here are a couple pictures from a few shoots ago, which was with ____. ____ was the makeup artist.There are more from the same day, but a different photographer, but they are secret until my Mac Chic of the Month feature comes out, which will not be until

Hey, what's up? It has been a while since I wrote an actual blog. I am going to alternate between my most recent album and going backward. Next blog will most likely be about weddings and such from this summer!First, though, I must share an article from my hometown newspaper, the Racine Journal Times about the new recommendations being made for mammograms. If you know me well or have been

I got this in an email from my friend, Prince Matt Hernal, and thought I'd share it! Enjoy, and Happy Thanksgiving!While it seems absurd to celebrate the awful things Europeans did to Native Amercians (I am both, talk about inner turmoil!), I love food, am thankful for a lot of things, and celebrate everything, so of course I'm down!

So after the game, I tweeted at Shaunie to tell her she looked nice in the picture she tweeted from the game, and to tell her I planned to come down and check out a game. I also told her I'd need shopping, eating, and clubbing recommendations.Here's what she said!I'm giddy. Definitely made me feel better about my bad day!Thanks, Shaunie!And thanks to Nathan (@PremeOne on Twitter) for reminding

Hey, world. I am really making an effort to blog more. Can ya tell? Helps that I can't sleep and am all caught up on my grading! I was watching the travel channel the other day (which is dangerous) and decided two things. A.) I think they need a female presence (ME!) on the show "Madventures." How do we make this happen? B.) I am getting antsy to leave the country again, and have been

Last night I blogged for the first time in a long time.After that, I took a look at the blogs I've written over the last few months (and there were very few) and realized that they were pretty lame.SO, I decided that I would try to rectify that. I came to the conclusion that the best idea would be to start with my most recent facebook album and work backward, and write the stories that go along

Damn, has it really been over a month since my last blog? I really need to get it together! Sorry, Mamalicious!As usual, when I take so much time off from writing (I kinda miss it!), the blog is going to be a bit of a hodgepodge, so forgive me for that. Also, unfortunately, it's not going to be a lot of original Mandie-written material, so much as stuff other people have written that I like,

No, no, silly Sallies. It's not my birthday. It's Danny Glover Eve!Every year around this time, when I start getting excited, as well as anytime someone new comes over to our apartment, people ask "Why are you celebrating Danny Glover's birthday?" or "Why do you have a gigantic poster of Danny Glover in your living room (old place)/at the top of your stairs (current place)?"I think {and I think

That's the text that I woke up to this morning, from the same friend whose conversation I blogged last time. Incredible.He says he is going to hire me as a bartender in his club, and train him to be a female version of him. He admires John Stamos, and says that I will be the Punky Brewster to his John Stamos. Apparently, this is a huge compliment.Anyway, let's talk about absurd.Last night was

Wow, Mom, I am surprised you haven't gotten on my case at all about this!I have been in a pretty crappy mood the last few days, and I don't see that letting up, but I have been having some pretty amazing moments, too.This is from the files of "I love my ridiculous friends."P.S.

Ok, this is going to be a doozy. Wait, who says that? Weird.Anyway, to start, I want to share with you a few funnies that I found whilst randomly browsing blogs and other sites online.First is a few selections from www.superpoop.com.Yeah, I know. It sounds super mature.Check 'em out!I liked this one a lot. I think part of it is because one of my ex's moms was obsessed with that Terry whoever.

I feel like it has been a minute since I've blogged, and for that I apologize.Lots of absurdity has been taking place, but most of this, I don't feel like typing out. It's not that incredible, anyway.Something to look out for, though, of course, is that there will likely be a Volume Four of Sneaky Vulture Tricks (Read Volumes One, Two, and Three at these links!) coming out soon, because, well,

Since I've been on Twitter (follow me!), it has been my goal to get Shaq to respond to me.Well, finally, it happened!He randomly was tweeting, and said something about shooting, passing, and slamming, which, to true Shaq fans, of course is easily recognizable as lyrics to one of his songs.So, I tweeted back, and said "Aren't those your song lyrics? =P"To which he responded "Dam yur smart."YAY!

On March 6th, 1972, Shaquille Rashuan O'Neal was born.He would grow to become my absolute favorite celebrity.So, on his birthday, I thought I'd take the time to explain why.Now, first of all, despite the fact that visually, I do tend to prefer large, extremely tall black men, I feel the need to say again that I am not sexually attracted to Shaq.This is something that OFTEN gets confused.If he

So, the school at which I teach is a 6th-12th grade school, with one of the largest Special Ed departments in the city. One of these students randomly emails a few of the staff members with very creative tales involving the younger staff members, as well as some crazy characters.Here's a key for characters at my school:Ms. C - Middle School English TeacherMs. S - High School English TeacherG &

I mean, yeah, it's been just over three months from my actual birthday, but not from the big party.Anyway, these pictures are from three sources - my camera, Danielle's camera, and Nicole's camera.They aren't in any order that they should be in.

First of all, I want to say that I adore Twitter these days. I had never heard of it until that fake Shaq signed up. Now, the real Shaq is on, and I am in heaven. It may be a little much (this morning, I woke up to 8 tweets from him!), and it may be "stalker heaven," but it is definitely glorious!Here or maybe just below (if I can figure this out) is a picture Shaq uploaded this evening.

Wow. It has been a long time since my last blog, again. Between finding a new apartment, moving into said apartment, going to NYC for nearly a week, less than 24 hours after moving the last item into the new apartment (and not even sleeping in it yet), and then coming back and having about 24 hours to prepare for a three day, sixty mile walk, I guess you could say I've been pretty busy!Of

This brought tears to my eyes!Go to this link, then click on "watch in high quality" underneath the video. Don't watch the video in standard quality. It's lame. It's way better when you can see all the facial expressions.I don't really know why I like it so much. I mean, yeah, it's cool to see a bunch of people dancing crazily like goof asses.I think that what is so beautiful is that they are

So here I am again, back to blogging.I have a bunch of pictures to share from the Mamalitia Fundraiser. Unfortunately, there is not much to say. Good thing a picture is worth a thousand words!The first pictures are from www.themilwaukeescene.com - so thanks to Rafal for showing up and taking them!Another unfortunate thing is that they were there before the majority of the crowd was there, and

So, during my Spring Break, a whole bunch of us were supposed to go down to Chicago to go see White Shadow spin at Manor, and just have a change of scenery. Well, all kinds of catastrophes occurred, and it ended up being Paul and I. It was already going

Yes, yes, I know. I am fully aware that I only blogged once in March. Please accept my deepest apologies. Mom, I think you've survived, and I think we know who is to blame for my lack of bloggification! Haha. Too much fun, not enough downtime to document it. Anyway, after much waiting, here's another one. Kinda random, but this should not surprise you anymore. So a few weeks ago, Mamalicious

First things first.... Talked to Mamalicious today. Isn't she a sassy one? Apparently, she is feeling phenomenal! This is definitely great news, and I would've been smiling all day long if I wasn't so hungover today! I think I am too tired to smile, since I drank my face off last night. Anyway, back to Mamalicious. First of all, I think that I have a new phrase I want to vulch from her and use.

Ok, in all likelihood, it's not.... But it still will be a miracle if I survive this weekend.You know how I said it's birthday season? Well, that is about to get out of control.Friday night is Broseph's birthday. He's been all over my blogs. You know him, you love him. That will be the warmup for the weekend, seriously!Saturday is when the proverbial shit hits the proverbial fan.First on the

Before I get to the pictures, and all that fun stuff for this blog, I am going to kind of revisit one of my first blogs ever, which explained my deep love for Shaquille O'Neal. Many people (especially those who know that I am generally attracted to large or muscular, and usually athletic black men) mistakenly think that I am physically attracted to him or have some sort of a crush on him. Not so!

I am the luckiest person in the United States. Ok, maybe even the Western Hemisphere. Damn, I'll take it all the way.... Go big or go home, right? I am the luckiest girl in the universe!Yeah, I've had some craptastic things going on in my life, with my mom being sick and whatnot, but seriously....The best part about it is finding out how AMAZING my friends are.So I just want to take this time to

This blog is going to be really random, and likely long.I'll begin with a further update on Mamalicious.I've obviously talked to her every day since the lumpectomy. She has been in great spirits and pretty much hilarious, which is not a surprise.On the day after, I called and asked her how she was doin', and she said she's Smurfin.Her skin did turn blue from that operation, and stayed that way a

Update******Just got off the phone with mom. She is laughing and everything. Apparently they injected her with some kind of blue dye, and the effects can last for up to years! She is concerned that since she is an overachiever that she is going to be a Smurf for the rest of her life! She says she will kick the blue light's ass and get a job at Kmart. Apparently they also took out a couple of

My mom has cancer.She is in surgery right now, as I type, back in Raytown. And today's holiday is "Disaster Day."I have been struggling with how to blog this. I knew I should do it, but couldn't bring myself to.It has been hard.One of the hardest things has been telling other people.The first person I had to tell was Danielle. It was so hard. I had to say it, and saying it made it real.The

I guess I am not doing too fantastically on the whole blogging more thing, am I? I am doing kinda better at the picture-taking, though! I got a great on Tuesday night of Shawn and Parker with absurd moustaches. So you have that to look forward to.Another example of me doing well at taking more pictures is this next shot, which I took in a grocery store.Are those labels serious? They may as

So last Tuesday, Danielle, LL, Dustin, and I all went together to the Marquette game to see Ous and whatnot. LL and I also had to give Dustin his birthday present, so this was perfect. Since it is my New Year's resolution to blog more (oops, I am not doing well at that, due to the fact that I'm behind on my grading) and to take more pictures (doing a little better on this one, now that my camera

So Gib, who has graced this blog before with his addition to the Wisconsin Barbie Blog, in which he photoshopped me into the mix, reads my blogs on myspace. When I woke up this morning, I had a comment from him that was so funny, that I laughed until I cried!Gib is a great photographer, and great friend that I've known for a few years. He's responsible for such shots as these from my portfolio...

Alright, so this has a little Christmas in it, too.... One picture.It's my cousin April, aunt Laura, Mamalicious, and I.... Doing a Christmas shot of 1800.... I swear to you that I am not pregnant.... It's the shirt that makes me look that way, probably coupled with the awkward way I am standing. If I was pregnant, I definitely wouldn't be consuming Tequila, especially since it would pretty

Ok, you know I love kids, and dancing, and blah blah blah. But what the world really needs is more little guys like Seth. Seriously.Click on his name, watch the video, and prepare for your mind to be blown.Oh, and the temptation will likely be strong to watch the "Party in my Tummy" related video on the side. Buddha gave in to such temptation, then told me to watch it. It is scary. Be careful

I'd like to start this blog out with one of my new favorite quotes.... It's from the Raccoon Whisperer, about me."The notion that someone could keep you in line is absurd. They'll find bigfoot first."Love it. I think I need a t-shirt that says that.Anyway.Apparently, I have no blogged in awhile. The other morning, I got an email from my mom that said "Good morning.

This blog was started on December 7th, and not finished....First of all, I want to take a moment to wish a Happy Birthday to two basketball greats of our time: Larry Bird, who is 51 today, and Ousmane Barro, who will not likely be celebrating his 23rd birthday, which is also today. It's ok, Ous, I will celebrate for you!Anyway, this blog is LONG overdue. Lately, I haven't experienced much that

It's official. I am one of those crazy cat ladies. I decided to take some time off from going out. Decided to stay home last night and watch movies and such....One of the things I have been meaning to do awhile is give Refugio a bath.So here he is. My little man. Look how angry he looks!

So I finished a blog that I started in July. It is pretty much the longest blog in the United States.Your highness, if you print it, it will be 24 pages.Everyone else, if you are reading it and it's cold out, make sure you grab a blanket so your rheumatism doesn't act up. And be sure to stretch out every so often, because this is a long one, and and you wouldn't want to suffer from crippling

This past Saturday, I had a pleasant blast from the past.My Junior and Senior years of college, I lived with two girls, Laura and Amie. I knew Laura from highschool, and Amie I met through Laura. I am going to take this moment to mention the fact that both Amie and Laura are married now, and that makes me feel weird, because I still feel like I am 19 years old with a fake ID.Anyway, this past

Because they have hollow weenies!Ok, that was one of the Halloween textes I got on Halloween.I suppose I should finally explain the whole bizarre pluralization of "textes."Actually, maybe not. I just thought of several ways to do such things, and determined that the whole textes thing was one of those "you had to be there" type of deals.

Time to blog my birthday. It has been less than two months! Not a ton less, but less...nonetheless. What? How absurd is that sentence?Anyway, Cari came up for it, which was nice. It's always wonderful to see my nexus. And in a little bit of hilarity, she had taken the train, and since she had a bbq to go to during the day, she borrowed my car. She told me she was going to put gas in it. I

As you know, I am a texter. I send and receive over 10,000 textes (I'll explain the weird pluralization in a minute) each month.It's funny. I have a problem with not responding to textes. If I get something and read something, I have to respond.**** Note: I started this post yesterday. This morning, I woke up wearing my skirt and underwear, all my jewelry, and SEVEN BANDAIDS. So last night

Two blogs two days in a row?! Wowsers.I am kinda in a rush to catch up, because there are potentially blog-worthy things in the near future, such as a Badger game, Halloween, and my mom coming up to Milwaukee to go out.Anyway, there were, first of all, a couple things in last night's blog that I left out.One is that I have a shoot coming up on Sunday, and am curious as to if anyone has any

So I'm procrastinating on correcting papers. I am going to write this blog, then work out (I'm guessing at midnight?) then shower THEN grade some papers. Who thinks I am actually going to grade A paper, much less several, this evening? Hmmm....Anyway, I want to start out this story with a little anecdote about my grandmother. In the last blog, I mentioned about my mom saying that she said the

Happy birthday, Mom! For your birthday, I promised you a blog, and a night out on the town (which I am sure will also be blog-worthy), so here goes!So a little bit ago, I got my luggage back. I couldn't have been more excited. I came home and there was a post-it from UPS saying my package was in the office. So, I went down there, and the propert manager was in the office talking to a couple

Two in one day? I know. The world might explode. Hopefully not, though, because as I mentioned, I am really looking forward to going out tonight.Anyway, this blog might be one of those stories that you just had to be there for. But then again, it might not. You tell me.So my favorite bar/club in Milwaukee is Decibel/DeepBar. This is not a secret. In fact, I probably go there a good 3-4

Today's birthdays are spectacular, to say the least, and you better believe my ass will be at Decibel tonight celebrating....The holiday is National Comic Book Day. That's kinda lame. But it is definitely compensated for by the fact that these precious gems will be celebrating their birthdays tonight, and LL and I will be celebrating right along with them....Scottie Pippen. Ah, yes. I had quite a

Mama Seuss has e-mailed me and called me to inform that today marks one month since my last blog. I feel like it's confessional or something.... Although since I am not Catholic, I can't say that I really know what that's like. I feel like on TV and movies, the people say "somethin' somethin' somethin', and it's been ____ (length of time) since my last confessional."Well, it's been one month

Ok, so since I had started the blog about the Racine wedding a long time ago, when I went to post it, it went into the "July" part instead of August.... So click on the "July" one, and it's called "Racine - The Hamptons of the Midwest, and the perfect setting for a dream wedding."Holla!

Ok, just got back from New York.... What a trip! I literally have hundreds of emails to go through, then I will get down to some serious blogging business, I promise....Apparently, after reading my last one, my mom felt sorry for me in my situation (and probably a little guilty, too, since we've decided collectively that she passed along the quality in me that attacts absurd people and

Alright, I gotta be honest. It was more dramatic when William Wallace said it about their lives and freedom, but my life is less dramatic than his as well. Or at least I try to keep it that way.... But that's neither here nor there!Another confession - it is with a fair amount of shame and embarrassment that I write this blog. I just wanted to throw that out there.

(Read this {or paste this link: http://brutbrut.blogspot.com/2007/01/danny-glover-legend.html} to know why this is so important!)Last Sunday when I was on the phone with my mom, she said to me, "Mandie, do you know what today's date is?"

I know many of you have been waiting a long time for this one, hopefully not so long that I've forgotten anything. Without further ado....On June 9th, 2007, I made the voyage from Milwaukee, down to Raycilla, Wiscompton, also known as the Hamptons of the Midwest, for a wedding.I knew this was going to be a doozy. The bride was a longtime friend of the family. The mother of the bride is a little

Yes yes, the dates in the title are the dates of Summerfest.6.28.07We kicked it off by going to see Jack's Mannequin. That was an adventure.Danielle and I had decided that we were going to go to Summerfest in search of new boyfriends. We joked about it the whole time, on the way there and such.As it turned out, we were not in the proper age bracket for that. It seemed that everyone at Summerfest

I want to start out by saying that the opinions expressed in the following blog are not necessarily my own. The vast majority of this blog is copied and pasted directly from an email I received a few months ago from a good friend. In fact, I don't even know where some of the places that are mentioned below are located, much less what stereotypes plague them.I do, however, know that some seem

There are a few things that have been on my mind lately.The quote I used for the title is apparently an Italian proverb that I saw written on the wall at a highschool where I attended a meeting the other day. I was inspired, so I texted it to myself so I'd remember it. I think it's applicable for this blog entry, so here it is!Last Saturday, a week ago today, I did a promo.... As a model,

Oy. The time was Memorial Day weekend. Friday, to be exact. I had been having quite the terrible week, and was ready to go to bed. Way crabby. I was having some issues with the part-time job I had taken, and their scheduling. So I came home from school, and went to bed.After a couple hours of napping, I was ready to rally. I went tanning and worked out and showered. When I was coming home from

The last 36ish hours have been completely absurd.We'll start out with a bit of awesomeness.

I want to begin this blog by apologizing. My mom brought it to my attention that I have not blogged since JUNE 5TH! Oh my goodness! I am just flattered that people are missing them (and I am aware that using the word "people" and meaning my mom, who is one of my biggest fans, is a little liberal, but oh well. Deal!). Anyway, worry not.... The lack of blogs has not been due to lack of material. In

I guess it's after midnight, which technically makes it June 5th, but prior to that, when it was still June 4th.... It was exactly three months from my 26th birthday. I feel like that's kinda old! Yikes!Oh, and here's a reminder for you!

Alright, I am starting this out with a little anecdote from yesterday at school.One of my best friends, Lers, and I were standing in her classroom after school, talking during her tutoring/supervision time. All of the sudden, two middle-school-aged boys approached us.The first said to us, "I am trying to tell him that he is wrong, but he won't believe me. Tell them."And the second said, "It wants

So after my last blog post, about St. Patrick's Day, LL gave me a little bit of shit about the fact that I was posting something two months old, and made some other comment about how absurd and ranom my life is, so I thought I'd go all out and post something really old... Like, still in college really old, since I wasn't blogging then.Amidst the brainstorming for what to write, I thought back

So they say a picture speaks a thousand words.... Here are about a thousand pictures. Not so many words, though.... Mostly, to be honest, because I don't remember most of the night. I think that was because very shortly after my arrival to the bar, Curti got me a couple shots of Pat Ron that I did in rapid succession. Bru-tal.Anyway, after over a month, here is a photo essay of St. Patrick's

I had been craving a cheeseburger for awhile. Not just any cheeseburger, but Kewpee's cheeseburgers. They are the best in the world. Literally. It's science.My good friends Mara and LL had mentioned that they had never really experienced Racine, my hometown. I couldn't believe it. I figured that they should really experience such a place, and that they should definitely at least leave with a good

You know in the Little Mermaid, when Ursula sings that song about those poor, unfortunate souls?I am pretty sure that 90% of the people about whom she was singing were sitting at a table with me last night at the Landmark.I went out with LL for one of her friends' birthdays. It was also Tia's birthday, but that is neither here nor there (Happy birthday, Tia!).Anyway, we were talking about Cinco

Now, could you please stop having birthdays and the celebrations so that I can survive this year? OK, thanks!I want to start off by appologizing again that it's been so long since I last blogged. I've been absurdly busy. Even moreso than normal. You see, once it starts kinda being Spring, I have a bazillion things to do. It's ridiculous. Not a moment to spare. I have a list of like ten things

One of my friends told me a really touching story, and it inspired me, so now I am going to tell y'all about it!Anyway, here it is. There is a boy in Ottawa, CA, named Shane Bernier. He is going to turn 8 on May 30th. He is suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia and is currently in treatment.The reason I am telling you about this little boy is that his wish is to break the world record for

So last night I got back from Austin, and went out. Bru-tal. I will get to the whole Austin story later, as it deserves its own blog, and will definitely take more time than I have, which is the last three minutes of my lunch hour.Anyway, whilst in Austin with the self-proclaimed King of the Velociraptors, I was shown this hilarious video. Part of what makes this so hilarious is that at my

It's St. Patrick's Day. Yay! And I am going to go up to Madison for the first time in a really long time! Yay! And I am going to do a shoot - also a yay!I have so much ridiculousness to blog about...But so little time. But I couldn't let this glorious holiday go by without sharing this video, which makes me laugh hard as ever...What in hell???
