I am thinking about retiring this blog but looking forward to other projects and I will let you know what happens...

I ate the best salad berkeley had to offer....

It was called Italian, and it contained: artichoke hearts, tomatoes, mozzarella, grilled green and red bell peppers, garbanzo beans, romaine and arugula lettuce, and came with a vinaigrette. Of course I added pepper and didn't eat the focaccia bread, because I am Rachel and I can.

Then we proceeded to walk around Berkeley in monkey masks. People smiled, children waved. and at one place we were stalked by paparazzi and had to take like 5 different pictures with people at the restaurant (where we were just getting a beer). I feel like my fifteen minutes of fame has come and passed all because of a monkey mask. Later, we met a professor of women and arts, who initially mistook us for "guerilla girls," a group of women that go to feminist art shows and tear bad representations of feminism/art of the walls. After explaining we were not, said, "gorilla girls," she proceeded to invite us to be her VIP guests at the next feminist art show, showcasing feminism and the recession. Basically it was a badass day. Here are some monkeys monkeying around.

Also, we had a dance off and are planning to make a music video. World prepare yourself.

I know, I am the shit. Praise me. Just kidding. No. Really. Don't.

Cedarville!

I took PhamPham and rjenna to Cedarville to see my hospital friends and say goodbye to my mothing and on our way out of town (we went the back way to Reno), this is what they thought was awesome.

It is funny because when I am looking through those pictures on my computer, it looks like PhamPham just disappears from that second to last picture. I guess you would need to see to understand what the fuck I am talking about. That is okay, I am okay with you thinking that I am cray cray to the max extreme.

I found this really cool website it is called "I Write Like," and you paste some text from things that you have written and it will tell you what author you write like. So far I have been David Foster Wallace, Agatha Christie, Raymond Chandler, and Stephen King. Weird pairings. Have fun searching and stay tuned for a possible new blog soon...I keep talking about it and not doing it, I need to stop talking about it and do it, that was a note to self, by the way.

And for your enjoyment:

The other day I made breakfast..

I am, apparently, the cook when I hang out with my friends. I have been very spoiled by Ash always cooking! So, I attempted some faux-gourmet eggs over easy, on toast, with a crisp leaf of green lettuce, a homemade sauce, topped with feta. This is what it looked like:

Anyone want me over for breakfast?

Bridal Shower!

So first of all, especially if you are a nine year old kid, don't try to beat me at a game! We are playing that "don't cross your legs, or I will take your clothes-pin" game, and this kid is like going crazy taking everyones pin and rubbing it in our faces. You know me, so I wasn't going to have any of that, I patiently wait. And waited. And waited. Finally, I see her sitting and fighting to keep her legs apart and then BOOM, someone gets her attention and she crosses her legs, and guess who was there to collect all the pins? That's right, ME! Chew on that fat kid.

Here is what I did with them:

Then there were more pictures from this day, but SOMEONE (Tunnel) hasn't posted them yet. or linked me to the post. Anyway we went fishing and I caught two!

Then I took Tunnel to Red Bluff, and we stopped in a field during road construction.

Whoa, then I just found these pictures, but I was trying to be late for work because I am always on time, so I pulled over and took pictures.

And I was going to pick you a flower but didn't want it to die so I just took a picture of it! Peace!

Stickers and Yard Sales!

So while Auntie and Tunnel were home we had a surprise birthday party for Auntie and it was ELVIS THEMED! awesome! Here are the pictures from that, then I would like to impart on you some awesome sites from a yard sale I went to.

Elvis has left the building!

Now on to the coolest yard decorations ever!

That's right, that is a bathtub fountain!

And a bench made out of horseshoes!!!

What another bathtub fountain!!!!!

Yep! THREE, I kid you not, THREE bathtub fountains!!!!!! I really want one!!!

And some freaking awesome old school farming equipment!!!

Then we ate at the Auction yard, I had my usual (2 eggs over easy, sausage, hash browns, and wheat toast!) because I didn't want to risk getting a stomach ache from the famous, and oh(!), so delicious biscuits and gravy. 

After that I used some duct tape to fix my already janky drums, the hi-hat was broken, which I later had to re-fix it because duct tape does not hold up to the drumming of one, Rachel Lloyd. 

Next up on livin-n-lingo.....Bridal Shower of Madness! Just kidding on the madness part, but also, does anyone know why I chose "livin-n-lingo" as my blog name? If you do message me and I will give you a beer.

Doesn't that make you want a kid....NOT!

Then we went fishing:

There was a shit ton of Seagulls...EW and SHUT UP!

Ash was sitting in an awesome seat!

The clouds were cool.

And Ash and Bam were the only two to catch fish!
