Update.

So I update my blog 'profile'.  I added a new background, new pictures, and new music.  The music consists of songs that remind me of Derek- very sappy I know.  But hey- get use to it because it's not going away! I told Derek today that when we get married my blog will turn into 'our' blog.  I even told him I would allow him to write in it every so often- he didn't seem too thrilled.  I actually think his exact response was, 'do you actually think I'm going to take time out of my day to write in it?'  Haha probably not but hey it was worth the offer.  I actually think blogging is a girly thing and guys usually find little to no interest in it.

Well in about 6 days we will be landing in Mexico and I'm sure everyone is very jealous.  I'm very sad to leave Derek and Moppit though.  I'm sure the next trip I go on with be with Derek so I can't complain about that too much.  And I know that Moppit will be in good hands.  And on Thursday I am going to see Disney's Oceans.  I've only been talking about it for about the past 7 months.  Haha, and I dream about seeing it every night.  It better be good.  We have been watching the show, Life, on the Discovery channel and I am in love.  Last night we started watching the Primate episode and wow, everyone should watch that.  It is the best.  Well this post wasn't supposed to be this long, just letting everyone know that I'm so bored at work I updated everything.  Here are some recent pictures of the fam :)

Moppit & I

My mom wanted more pictures of Moppit- because she is obsessed.

They have a deep love for each other. Its cute.

South Park- Facebook

I have to admit. I am an avid Facebook and Blog stalker. I know its very pathetic, Derek actually thinks its a sickness. But I just can't help it. I get so bored at work sometimes that facebook and peoples blogs are the only thing that keeps me entertained before I start in on bugging my mom. But there is ONE.... MAJOR.... PROBLEM. People do not update enough!! Its very hard to stalk someones blog when they only update once in a blue moon. Haha its pathetic but I look at writing about it as kind of my, thearapy, if you will.

This is why my roommate, Lindsee, and I have resorted to blog-stalking Heather Armstrong. Also known as Dooce. She is FREAKING hillarious. I understand a lot of people might get offended by her crude/bash on mormons way of writing, but she means well. Mostly you just have to get used to how she writes. She uses sarcasim frequently and if you don't get her jokes then you will not think she is funny. But she is really worth reading. She blogs almost once a day, which makes stalking heaven for us. She even has books. My roommate and I discovered Heather Armstrong through some ladies at my work that read her every once in a while. As I got looking into it, I found out that she has written some books. Lindsee, being the amazing friend she is, got me one of her books for my birthday. "It Sucked and Then I Cried: How I Had a Baby, a Breakdown and a Much Needed Margarita." It was one of the funniest books I've ever read (but nothing beats out Chelsey Handler: My Horizontal Life). Anyway- If you are interested in stalking Dooce her website is http://www.dooce.com and she has the CUTEST dog ever, Chuck. Chloe and him will be friends one day.

Well Derek always makes fun of me and Lindsee for stalking in any way we can. And I've come to realize that we are not the only ones that do it. Almost everyone that has a facebook has an obsession with it. :) It makes me feel a lot better about myself. Lindsee and I decided that we are going to start up a "Facebook Annonomous" club. We would be rich after. Well anyway- all this facebook talk just reminded me of Southpark. Now I NEVER watch that show, I actually really hate it, but I have to admit that this was probably the funniest episode I've ever seen.

Derek was laying on my couch watching TV the other night and started laughing his head off. He made me come sit down and watch this facebook episode with him. Although I totally acted like they weren't right about anything, they were right about EVERYTHING. If you can look past the crudeness and the swearing in southpark you should for sure watch this episode if you have a facebook-salking obsession. Funniest part about the clip I'm going to post is that I made Derek change his relationship status and he says its because that made it 'official'. But just so everyone knows, facebook makes EVERYTHING official ;) Ha, much love!

Life as of Lately.

Fellow bloggers- Do you ever feel like you have so much going on in your life and then as soon as you open a new post your mind goes (hand gesture) blank. As if nothing important/interesting/entertaining etc. etc. etc. is happening with you? I am having one of these times! What the crap have I been doing to keep myself so "busy"... and why don't I have anything to show for it? I guess I've just been busy thinking about Mexico and daydreaming about the white sandy beaches and how I love to rub it in that we are going (hehe mean I know). I can't wait. I find myself at work trying my hardest to focus on actually working and I daze of for a while and then wtf, I'm back at victoriasecret.com and I have my card out and I'm.. ordering more clothes. Dang. They get me every time. Maybe its because I fantasize that I will look drop dead gorgeous in one of their many many suits. But in reality I'm a painfully white and plain girl. Which, don't get me wrong, is totally fine with me (I just had to write that because Bre had to point out the other day that I was 'albino' and I have been tanning every since. HA- that that Bre!)

My one goal for this summer is to get as tan as I can and then maybe, just maybe, I can call Bre albino- then she will know what it feels like. Until then I'll keep my 8-5 job, because I'm not really sure if I can beat out skin color with a 1/2 Mexican woman. But all this Bre talk reminds me of the fact that we both have dogs and that brings me to think of my own... which then brings me to remember what she did the other morning. I thought Derek was going to die.

It was Saturday morning/afternoon, Derek, Chloe and I were laying on his bed relaxing and kind of dozing off again (because most of our Saturday's are spent sleeping) and all of a sudden I heard the weirdest sound. I stopped myself from breathing so I could hear it a little better. It sounded like the softest, littlest sound that was almost like a small low drum or something. Wait a second... I remember this sound. It all came flooding back to me. As I ripped the covers off my legs and threw my body up and over to the end of the bed I grabbed Chloe. Crap. Chloe was going to barf (or better yet, I like to call: 'Moppit projectile vomiting'). Its not like Derek has a bathroom in his room (not everyone is that privileged) and there was no tile or hard flooring that I could throw her on. So I had to do what any great mother would do. I had to take one for the team, sacrifice my own body.... Too bad Derek didn't see it like that.

As Chloe was about to finish off her job I chucked my hands as fast as I could under her mouth and caught her nasty throw up. I was totally fine with doing it and helping out Derek so he didn't have to clean off his whole comforter until I heard him in the background, "Ashlee!!! What the crap! That is the sickest thing ever, oh my gosh get it away from me I'm going to throw up." I, in return said, "Uh ook drama queen I was being a good mother and girlfriend and caught it for you so you didn't have to clean off your bed." As Derek moved closer to me and the puddle in my hands he started to gag. Which in return made me gag (like any normal human) and then it was all downhill from there. I ran into the bathroom as fast as I could trying to get the water on without spilling it all over the sink. As I'm gagging, panicking and rinsing off my hands I remembered the boys were out of soap. Which would never happen in a girls apartment I might add. Then it really hits me, blahhh I can't get this crap off!! Derek is calm again, laying in his bed thinking nothing of it, and I'm yellin' at him to get me a towel.

This all just makes me think of when we have kids and how much worse being a good helpful mother is going to be. I can't wait! But of course I will wait until I'm more mature and the sight of vomit or blood doesn't make me wanna pass out. Oh, and the best part about this story is that Chloe had just finished chewing up Derek's favorite, brand new, chap stick we just got from the store. Haha. Payback is a _____. Anyway, here are some picture from lately- hope you enjoy!

We went to Eric's house the other weekend and I
spotted this, ahh I love it!!

Meet Finn- The cutest dog we watched one weekend.

I have a feeling Bre will kill me when she sees this,

Bre, I know it seems like I make fun of you,

but its only because I love you more than anyone else!
