<br />
Valentine's Day...<br />
<br />
Who is it up to to make the plans?<br />
<br />
I just texted my boyfriend to ask if he will be with me for Val Day (he has plans the night before which are away at the casino, yes i know it seems weird i had to ask, but when he gets on those tables...) He said he will & i immediately answered with "ok, great! I'll make dinner!" then i asked him what he'd like to eat.. then i thought for a moment...<br />
<br />
maybe it would be much more romantic if he did all the planning for Val Day. Let him figure it out. i promised him a certain "favour" & i've already purchased him a sweet gift, but i think that is the point of Val Day, isn't it? being out of the ordinary, romance wise.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>i think i'd like a day where maybe i'm swept off my feet a bit. i do wish he wasn't going away the night before & i'll be spending the day before very busy as well (why are you a Sunday, Val Day?!!) but that's just what it is.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Let's look at that a bit. My immediate thought was that i should do something to please him. This is in no way a reflection of him. he has never made me feel that i should "serve" him. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, there is one thing that i don't think M even really totally realizes:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i never really have had a real valentine'd day</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
why?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My Mother's bday is Feb 14 - Val Day - so, when i was growing up & had boyfriends in high school & even middle school, even into college i was with my mom for her bday on feb 14. when i was with X, i'm sure we did stuff, but i can't even remember, so it couldn't have been great.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
TBH there are two Val Days that stick out in my mind...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Valentine's Day: Age: uhhh... 6th grade, so... i think it was 1997 & i was... 11? i didn't get to go out ON Val Day, but i was taken out for my first ever Val Day date. K (name hidden) & i were driven to the movies by his dad. when we parked at the movie theatre, he handed me a topazy type stone (red) in the shape of a heart & a Hershey's chocolate bar. his father (such a sweet guy) dropped us off & said he'd be back to get us. We went in & he bought my ticket to see The Wedding Singer (wait whilst i fact check... HA ok, it was 1998 - thank you Google) & i remember we laughed because the story takes place in Ridgefield, NJ & we lived in Ridgefield, CT - however, the guy sitting in front of me was tall & i'm hella short, so his head perfectly blocked the "NJ" part & so, obviously, being 11, i ignored the blatant cues to new jersey & i just assumed the movie was set in my home town... there was no kiss, there was no anything, i doubt we even held hands. (dude, i was 11. c'mon) but it was sweet & special & i'll remember it forever</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. last year. i moved into my house on the 11th (i think, google can't help me fact check that one) & i believe i was sick a few days after & M had come over & brought be a single rose to cheer me up bc i was sick. i'd struggled to find a vase at this new home & ended up putting it in a Guinness glass. Then, the night before Val Day, he went to the casino (woah, pattern?) & i went out to over the days prior to pick up a few sweet things for my new boyf (we'd been together a month & a half at this point) - the biggest thing, in my eyes, that i got him was a toothbrush. (ya, seems lame, but if you're a girl, it's kind of like giving a ring, it's commitment, it's one step below a key or the password to your phone, or your pin number. BTW, he has/knows all of those...) - So, i made this ridiculous trail of love notes from my door (which i left unlocked so he would come to my house after i went to sleep & climb into bed) & there were elaborate notes, decorations & even a gift hanging from the other end of my door to hang in his face if he opened the door so he couldn't miss it... well, turned out he didn't come over whilst i slept... so obviously me, being the anxious freak i am, i kept waking up thru the night checking the clock & my phone, but nothing. M wasn't there... </div>

then, the next day, real Val Day, he showed up with apologies for not being there the night before & with a build a bear Hello Kitty & a rose. HK was also totally naked other than a heart shaped "I <3 U" pillow she was holding & HK slippers on her feet. </div>

I've always loved that he thought to go buy accessories for her, but the idea of clothing her didn't even pass thru his mind. how cute. how genuine. how real. he just saw what he wants to get or how he wanted to show me love & didn't even think "oh, well i need to spend $20 on a dress or an outfit of some kind because i can't give her a naked build a bear" - no, he tossed that to the wind - here's you HK i made you, she's naked & free!!! not only that, he remembered that i had mentioned to him how i wanted a kitten named Edgar. he couldn't totally remember the name Edgar (can't blame him, the name has been used ONCE in like 300 years that anyone knows about) so he typed in "Egnot" on the birth certificate for my HK build a bear. i also remember saying to him "she's naked!" & he basically shrugged in a "who cares? I LOVE YOU" type of way. Then, this is the important part, i asked him if the build a bear ppl made him jump up & down & spin around & do all the silly stuff - most importantly, kiss the heart. - to this he replied "She's got two, one for me, one for you, i kissed them both".......... ::swoon::</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Valentine's Day is a lot of different things to everyone. some are cynical saying it s a Hallmark holiday. to me it's so many things. it's a day of love, for sure. but it's also my Moms birthday, my dogs birthday, one of my BFFs moms birthday (same year as my mom, how weird!) & it's the day that a boy had his dad drive us to the moves to see an Adam Sandler film & it's the day another boy didn't care about conventions & gave me a hello kitty doll, even though i was 28 years old, because he knew it was something that i'd love & he put two hearts. one for me, one for him. </div>

<br />
just for clarification, i've been trying to get back on the blog for soooo long. when i initially set up the blog a million years ago, i did so under some stupidly weird email address. it wasn't until after i had the blog going that i made the email address Spankyluvsit@gmail.com (contact me, btw) which sounds unbelievably weird, i know, but it's true & it's been a constant headache forever.<br />
<br />
however! now i have my actualy spankyluvsit@gmail connected to the blog as an admin. i will be posting as "Sara" (my real name! ::gasp!::) because it sucks ass to have to go from a google account i don't use, to one i DO use over & over.<br />
<br />
so..<br />
<br />
hello, nice to meet you. i'm Sara :)<br />
<br />

I'm BLOGGING!Hello World!!!<br />
<br />
I don't expect anyone to actually still be checking after the five years I haven't blogged, but i'm hoping to revamp a bit.<br />
<br />
I've changed so much in the past five years & i'm hoping with a bit of a face lift (& no, i haven't aged THAT much in five years) this blog can grow to fit who I am now.<br />
<br />
I'm still on twitter as @Spankyluvsit & have been actively tweeting (even if it's not too often, i have a job, y'know) & i'm on Instagram with the same name, Spankyluvsit.<br />
<br />
There are a few things i'mi newly obsessed with, which i will be posting about soon :)<br />
<br />
A big goal of mine for this new year, 2016, is to get back into the blog world & with the re-entry, i plan to do it right. post small & often. no more overwhelming 90 page posts that take me so long to write that i end up not even being able to post at all.<br />
<br />
a few quick points:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I'd moved to Cali back when i'd kinda tapered off the blog world. i moved back to CT in 2012. I've found my place here a bit more, but god damn it, i still hate the fucking snow. </li>
<li>I am no longer with the guy who i weirdly called "Bazinga". We moved back from Cali together but broke up a few years later.</li>
<li>I've been at the same job since Sept of 2012 (more on that later)</li>
<li>I'm with an amazing new guy. M is amazing & i'll be posting about him plenty, i'm sure. (or maybe not? is that bad karma, perhaps?)</li>
<li>I live in a house with one roommate & my ADORABLE kitten, Edgar. He will definitely be a topic of many posts. </li>
<li>I've been a part of my first ever art show & hope to have my own exclusive show this year. (my etsy shop is still down... long story)</li>
<li>i've become obsessed with true crime. books, podcasts, movies, documentaries (yes, i've seen Making a Murderer three times & i'll be posting all about that... like everyone else in the world), shows, websites, everything. it will def be a huge topic.</li>
<li>I'm starting a new project called Housegirlfriends. I have the website URL, but need to get started on the actual site & will be asking for contributors. more to come on this.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
ok. i'm sticking to my pledge. i'm posting this after five years & more attempts than i can even tell you to figure out what the hell my f'n login was for this blog!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
if anyone knows how to reassign a blog to another gmail account, please TELL ME!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
after five years i'm stoked to say..</div>

<br />
it's been a horrifyingly long time since i've blogged...<br />
<br />
there's not enough time in the world to update everything that's happened...<br />
<br />
so.. highlights?<br />
<br />
-as most of you knew, i had moved to California to live with my boyfriend, Travis (aka "Bazinga Baby").<br />
-couldn't stand my roommate<br />
-lost my car :(<br />
-got a job as a Leasing Consultant at the Community i lived at, Parkwood, in Irvine, CA. The job only lasted a few months because it was a summer position... but i liked it, leased a lot of apartments, made some good money, met some good people, bought some wicked cute work clothes, made some friends...<br />
-made some HUGE strides with my etsy shop, which i changed the name of, from Twitterpated Pretty to Sara McCobb Hubbell Designs<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.smccobbhubbelldesigns.etsy.com/">www.SMcCobbHubbellDesigns.etsy.com</a></span></div><br />
-developed a beloved character, lil miss, whom i've taken through some pretty rough times, & have been really luving drawing her, painting her & sharing her woes with the world.<br />
<br />

-went back to CT in August for Trav's cousins wedding (which was actually in Boston). The wedding was BEAUTIFUL & we had a great time!<br />
-turned 25.... ::indifferent::<br />
-got a Red Bull fridge, & a beautiful patio set from a friend, who, sadly, moved to NorCal soon after we started hanging out more :(<br />
<br />
<b>the biggest change of all...</b><br />
<br />
*we got on the road <i>again</i>, yesterday, Thursday, December 15th, with all of our shit (well, most of it... 675lbs worth, to be exact, was on a pallet, shipped) on our way moving <b>BACK to CT</b>*<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">::indifferent::</div><br />
So, now i'm in a really crappy motel room in Santa Rosa, NM, about to have a "house salad" from a rando pizza place, the only one that would deliver, which "doesn't have menus"... -<i>umm?</i>-... & watch Anchorman for the millionth time, while Trav eats the most amazing looking pizza that i can't have bc it'll gimme a tummy ache all day tomorrow.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;"><i>::dammit trav, please stop making those fucking "yummy noises"!::</i> </div><br />
the biggest, most important thing, at the moment, is that i'm on InstaGram (same name, Spankyluvsit) updating BEAUTIFUL photos & i'm also TWEETING the WHOLE trip (@Spankyluvsit).<br />

<br />
I'm so obsessed with any sort of <i>whimsical </i>stories & i can't explain how stoked i get when i hear about new projects of old favorites.<br />
<br />
I was SO sad that <b>Beastly </b>wasn't as good as i'd hoped. (it was... "eh." when it should have been "YAY!" - grr.)<br />
<br />
I still have to go see <b>Red Riding Hood</b> (which i REALLLY wanted to see...)<br />
<br />
a while ago i heard about not only one, but TWO new <b>Snow White</b> movies (which secretly pisses me off, bc i hate when two things that are the SAME, come out at the same time... it's like an automatic competition & it makes me sad, but o well...)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;"><i><span style="color: red; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">(((since i started writing this post, i read a pretty great Examiner.com article on the subject of the Battle of the Fairest in the Land.. </span><a href="http://www.examiner.com/movie-reviews-in-anaheim/snow-white-a-tale-of-two-tales" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">here</a><span style="color: red; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">)))</span><span style="color: red;"> </span></i></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Snow White & the Huntsman</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>directed by: Rupert Sanders</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>starring: Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth & Charlize Theron</i></div><br />
There isn't much information out yet, but i think K. Stewart will be an interesting Snow White. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://moviecarpet.com/iwave/images/1/o-kristen-stewart-in-talks-to-star-in-snow-white-and-the-huntsman.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" src="http://moviecarpet.com/iwave/images/1/o-kristen-stewart-in-talks-to-star-in-snow-white-and-the-huntsman.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />
She def looks like her, but, depending on how the movie is going to go, the attitude will hafta be different from the traditional thought of Snow White. I can see this working out REALLY well, if it's done right.<br />
As much as it pains me to say so, (& you all know how obsessed i am with Alice in Wonderland & Tim Burton), i don't think that his A-in-W flick turned out the way that i wanted it to. The vibe was just a bit too dark, which i hope does drag down this film.<br />
<br />
Hey, K. Stew, haven't you learned by now that you're not supposed to eat the forbidden fruit? But, then again, i guess it works for you. Who am i to tell you to change it up, when you're the one that always lands the hottie in the end.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Brothers Grimm: Snow White</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">directed by </span><span style="font-size: small;">Tarsem Singh </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Starring: Lily Collins, Julia Roberts, Armie Hammer, Nathan Lane</i></div><br />
I don't know much about this one, either, but the imdb.com plot says it's "a dark twist", so maybe this will be the creepier of the two flicks.<br />
Snow White, in this version, is Lily Collins (Phil Collins daughter who has been in a few things, but i don't recognize her, other than a short stint on 90210). She's cute, def, but i'll be more partial to K. Stew from the gate. (can't help but be biased, luvs me some K. Stew, in all her awkward glory).<br />

<br />
2 points awarded to SW&H for leading lady choice, 1 point to TBG:SW for Julia Roberts, 1 more for Nathan Lane...<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">tied with cast...</div>I've never seen any of the films directed by Tarsem Singh, & this is listed as Rupert Sanders' first project, so, i guess it's a draw!<br />
We'll have to see what else comes out to know which one will be in the front running.<br />

<br />
there was SO MUCH DAMN SNOW which i do NOT miss, living in Cali, but it was really good to see my peeps.<br />
<br />
i had some super fun times w/ <b>JenBunny</b>, <b>GiaPet</b>, <b>AmeCakes</b> & my other bitties.<br />
<br />
I took approx. 5 billion photos & videos of my doggie which i hope to upload... at some point...<br />
<br />
& spent loads of time with my wonderful family.<br />
<br />
since i've been back, there's some other things i want to talk about, that aren't as deep as things i've posted about in the recent months. (When i have the time... & energy...)<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><b>Pauly-D Obsession:</b></u><br />
<br />
i hafta post this, bc i'm loling my ass off over it...<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="youtube-player" frameborder="0" height="265" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZaGzP4vof7o" title="YouTube video player" type="text/html" width="320"></iframe></div><br />
<br />
<u><b>Medium vs. Real Housewives:</b></u><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitTymThkNIxXrqcipr8-XjNV7kx9WJgzGniw2oq5m0cBgtoboPO3QZQ7EKA4YrdENEQ-joLxe-FagYEOWDkkSWPWXOO0iZblB8rcOCrYR7CuPy8mExRZWVgE19063CWbHQMt_zw8CK6Q/s1600/medium-tv-show.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="155" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitTymThkNIxXrqcipr8-XjNV7kx9WJgzGniw2oq5m0cBgtoboPO3QZQ7EKA4YrdENEQ-joLxe-FagYEOWDkkSWPWXOO0iZblB8rcOCrYR7CuPy8mExRZWVgE19063CWbHQMt_zw8CK6Q/s400/medium-tv-show.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
since it's start, i have loved the show <span style="color: red;">Medium</span> (ok, that's a lie, when it was first airing, i thought i was going to be avoiding it at all costs, bc it looked like something that was going to scare the shit out of me, but my Ma watched it & i started watching early into the first season). A few seasons ago, Kelsey Grammer appeared on the show as, ehem, Satan... which was also the first time that i realized he was the Executive Producer of the show. Then, of course, like any red blooded 24 year old chickie, I've learned from <i>Bravo's</i> <span style="color: red;">Real Housewives of Beverly Hills</span> that Camille Grammer was behind a lot of the creation of the show.<br />
THEN, on an extremely disturbing episode of <span style="color: red;">RHWoBH</span>, we meet the REAL Allison Dubois (the main character on Medium, for those of you that don't know what the hell i'm talking about!) & god damn, she was AWFUL!<br />
Here's a link to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VW-m7jlVBA&feature=related">part</a> of the awful episode... <br />
<div style="text-align: right;">(Lemme also just shout out that i'm SO in luv with Lisa Vanderpump, i think she's possibly, my fav housewife OF ALL TIME!!! woo hoo Lisaaa!!!)</div><br />
<i><b>My question:</b></i> Everyone that watches Real H.Wives of BH, or current celebrity gossip, knows about how shitty-face Kelsey Grammer totes fucked over the hot-ass Camille after 13 years of marriage, which basically made her internally break down during the whole season. - BUT, since the show <span style="color: red;">Medium</span> was a "pet project" of the couple, is their recent blow up divorce the reason behind the sudden, out of NO WHERE end to one of MY FAV SHOWS?!!? if so... i'm sorry <span style="color: red;">Fraiser</span>, as much as i may enjoy listening to you play the villainous Side-Show Bob on <span style="color: red;">The Simpsons</span>, & as much as your fucked up life choices may add some drama to one of my fav shows, i do NOT appreciate you causing a rift in my TiVo lineup! WTF?!!?<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">(PS: Spencer Grammer, i'm sorry your Dad fucked up... i still luv you & i still look forward to seeing your adorable face on <span style="color: red;">Greek</span> every Monday!)</div><br />
<u><b>Life Unexpected:</b></u><br />
<br />
I was absolutely shocked when, toward the end of one of my regular shows, the screen went black & "Two Years Later" popped up on the screen... WHAA?! Then, after a quick, unexplained wrap up, Life Unexpected ENDED... rather... ehem... Unexpectedly?!?!<br />
I mean... i guess i'm happy with where they chose to send the characters... but... it was a total cop out. It was LITERALLY like they had a regular show episode planned, then, funding was pulled? Ratings weren't great? Kerr Smith signed on to be in Dawson's Creek the movie? & all of a sudden, <i>"Hey... guys... can you just, wrap it up in the last 5 mins? we're done with this one..." </i><br />
i'm totes disappointed.<br />
-----> sad face.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Beastly:</u></b><br />
<br />
<br />
I mean... do i even need to explain why i want to see <a href="http://www.beastlythemovie.com/">this</a>? Anyone who has spent 5 mins on this blog probably is WELL AWARE of my enormous attraction to anything funky, add an OLSEN to that & we are SO in business.<br />

MK looks so fucking badass, it's ridiculous. It's supposed to be out in March & i cannot wait. <br />
<br />
<u><b>Black Swan:</b></u><br />
<br />
Ya, duh i saw Black Swan, helloooo! I'll admit, parts of it freaked me THE FUCK OUT, but, i can't stop thinking about this movie & i really wanna see it again. Natalie Portman is a god damn UH-MAZING actress & i'm SOOOO stoked she won the Golden Globe & i can't wait to watch her (knock on wood) win her OSCAR!!! The film is nominated for best film & Darren Aronofsky is nommed for best director. i hope it's a sweep for the flick. i can't wait for it to be on DVD so i can watch it over & over! haha<br />
Mila, i'm sorry you didn't win supporting actress! :( no Oscar nom for Mila is poopy. She should get a special award for <b><i style="color: magenta;">chick i'd likely go super gay for.</i></b> i mean, hello? i'm about as boy crazed as they come, but Mila is one crazy hot mama, fo' sho! <br />
PS: on a terrifying side note, the night i saw the movie, i came home, was a little bugged out, wanted to distract myself, was doing my toe nails & all of a sudden, my toenail cracks & starts to bleed... next morning, i come out of the shower with a massive scratch on my shoulder blade... WHAAAAAA?!?!?!?!<u><b><br />
</b></u><br />
<br />
<u><b>Adam Sandler star:</b></u><br />
<br />
I'd like to also say Congrats to Adam Sandler, who was given his Hollywood Walk of Fame star today. I was honestly surprised, bc i thought he would have gotten one a long ass time ago.<br />
<br />
<u><b>LA Football:</b></u><br />
<br />
Apparently, they're building <b>"Farmer's Field"</b> in Los Angeles. an arena that will host.... well, honestly, all i really heard anyone definitively say was "fights", which i think was more of just a shout out to "Oscar" (De La Hoya?) who was apparently in the audience of the Press Statement? I don't know.. the whole thing was weird...<br />
I mean, they talked about the reason behind the name, the high tech crap, this that, the other thing, how it will give reason to open a shit ton of hotels in downtown LA... uh... then, there was some stock footage of the... Olympics? which was odd... then, at the last moment of the news story, they mentioned a fleeting thought about "Oh ya... we'll prob end up getting a football team, at some point"... that'd be good, otherwise, you're gunna have to book some pretty badass concerts to fill your pricey hotels...<br />
PREDICTION: Bazinga, my sports Guru who has taught me like almost everything that i know about sports (almost, i knew a lot before) thinks that maybe the Jacksonville Jaguars will move. (UNOFFICIAL PREDICTION - he said it as a possible thought, not any ink on paper prediction).<br />
<br />
<u><b>Blue Bloods:</b></u><br />
<br />
i'm reading a new series of books that are actually WAY better than i thought they'd be.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><i style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Blue Bloods </span></b></span></i></div><br />

I don't know if they're already planning to make a TV show or a movie(s) about this series, but, i honestly first thought of MK Olsen for the character of Schuyler (which i thought was more like shoo-ler until my Ma told me it was Sky-ler, & that Sky-ler was actually a family name of ours, sweet!) I guess i was wrong with my initial thoughts, bc it wasn't until i was mostly into the first book that i read she had blue black hair...? haha i was picturing a different look.<br />
Also, i picture Jack Force to be played by Landon Liboiron... i dunno, i just see it. I'm thinking about my other predictions, but i think it could be a fun new game for me to play, to see if i can predict who would play characters in the movie. haha. i'd need help from others tho, tell me if you hear about a new movie being made that's not cast yet. Oooh, i can ask Mattman about what he knows, too. he's in the biz, he could let me know.<br />
<br />
Ok. i think i've written WAY too much for this one post. i seem to keep going...<br />
<br />
it feels good to be back, in a way. we'll see if i (fingers crossed, i hope i do) keep it up.<br />
<br />
ps: <b style="color: magenta;">JenBunny</b> is coming to visit me. She'll be here next week. i'm soooo excited & we're 90% sure we're doing a semi-impromptu VEGAS TRIP! there will be more on this subject!!!<br />
<br />
ANYWAY. i'm glad that i've found some time to write about a few topics.<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope that you're all well. <br />

if you're signed up for the exchange, please make sure to go & check your draw!<br />
<br />
last year, JenBunny posted a bunch of other bloggers goals on her blog. She posted <a href="http://novelistabarista.blogspot.com/2009/12/2010-resolutions-spanky-luvs-it.html">mine</a>, too!<br />
here they are:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: red;">1. allow myself time to expand on my skills & creativity</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">2. live a cleaner life & purge all the clutter</span><br />
<span style="color: orange;">3. maintain my weight</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">4. be presentable (stop looking like a slob)</span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">5. take my blog to another level</span></b></div><br />
i went back & took a look to see if i held up my word to myself.<br />
at first look, i was surprised that i had been so.... vague? but, thinking about it, i think that i did... most?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>1.</b></span> i have def expanded my skills & creativity. this year i realized that i have many other creative skills than i thought. my etsy shop, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/twitterpatedpretty">twitterpated pretty</a> went from being a "sometimes" hobby, to an everyday obsession that pulled in some pretty good cash! <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>2.</b></span> Since i moved from CT to CA, i had to pack all my things into my car, sooo... i'd DEF say that i <a href="http://spankyluvsit.blogspot.com/2010/01/goal-purge-clutter.html">purged the initial clutter</a>... but... i seem to have a really bad habit of accumulating more. I will make a point to continue with this goal & make sure my new home doesn't end up as cluttered as my old room did. <b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>[this will def mean i have to do some "spring" cleaning already!]</i></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>3.</b></span> This one i'll give myself a pat on the back for. This time last year i had dropped about 30lbs from my start weight & was getting closer to my goal weight. In the first few months of 2010 i lost the rest of the weight i wanted to lose & have maintained it! I've lost over 50lbs since my initial start & have been successfully steady at my current weight for over 8 months now! hoooorah!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>4.</b></span> i'm not sure if i've reached this goal. i have a nicer wardrobe, but, most of the time, since i don't have a job, i spend at home, usually in pjs or shorts & a tank. i don't tend to put makeup on if im not going out & my hair, especially since cutting it short, is usually just in a pony tail... i guess i'd say that at home, or the grocery store, or to get the mail... ya, i'm still a slob. Going out, on the rare occasion, i dress up NIIIICE! hahaha<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>5.</b></span> well, i took it to another level, just not one that was higher than the last years level. The blog world has gotten away from me in the 2nd half of this year, well, more like the last 3/4 of this year. so, i guess.... for all intents & purposes... i failed this goal... :(<br />
<br />
<br />
i DID reach my reading goal. i read 16 books this year, which is the most, in one year, i've ever read. that, to me, is awesome, & i'm suuuuper proud of myself. :)<br />
<br />
i fly to CT tomorrow. i'm so stoked. Bazinga isnt coming with me, so i'm sad about that, but i can't wait to see my fam & friends!!! <br />

i'm so embarrassed...<br />
<br />
my car was repossessed...<br />
<br />
we got so behind a few months ago when bazinga got sick, then roomie was robbed & i had to cover his 'scripts & part of her rent & my bills got put to the back burner.<br />
i couldn't make payments on time & they took my car.<br />
<br />
i can't believe it.<br />
<br />
sometimes i feel like i can barely breath.<br />
<br />
i luv it here & i luv the possibilities that this home has, but what else can possibly happen?<br />
<br />
i'm going home for 2 weeks. i leave Jan 3rd. I just hope, hope, hope that i can come back with a rejuvenated spirit & can pick myself up, brush myself off, & make this life work.<br />
<br />
i don't need bright, shiny things, i just want a bright, shiny happiness to fill our little home.<br />
<br />
just, please, let's just let this be rock bottom. my hope can't take much more.<br />
<div style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><b><br />
</b></i></span></div><span style="color: #999999; font-size: large;"><i><b>silver lining:</b></i></span> i can't wait to see my family, my friends &, maybe even most of all, that dog, little Holly GoLightly pup whom i've missed so much i can't take it.<br />

<div style="text-align: right;"><i><b>as is life...</b></i></div><br />
So, this year, even though it's a bit late, i decided to give it a whirl, even if we only get a few people, maybe we can try again next year, or make it a bi-tri-yearly thing!<br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><i style="color: purple;">I'm happy to announce that i reached my reading goal for the year [12 books] & once i'm done the one i'm on now, i'll have reached my <b>"expert goal"</b> of 15 books in a year!!!</i></div><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">My vision:</span></b><br />
<br />
a "secret santa" of sorts, where everyone sends their favourite book to the person chosen for them.<br />
i thought that this could be a great way to open someones mind to your literary "comfort food".<br />
<br />
If you'd like to sign up, please follow <a href="http://www.elfster.com/exchange/view/4856741/5e827e/">THIS</a> link by December 31st!<br />
<br />
We'll all have a chance to read a new book & to broaden someone's mind to our favourite wordies!<br />
<br />
the book that you send should be a gift, so it can adorn your giftie's bookshelf forever, so please make sure that you understand you will NOT be getting it back!<br />
[aka, don't send your signed or first edition copy!]<br />
<br />
i hope we get some good number!<br />
<br />
please, also, feel free to re-post this on YOUR blog so we can REALLY expand!!!<br />

<br />
i've become so thankful for my family, especially my mom. her & i have built up such a different, strong relationship since i moved here & i miss her so much.<br />
<br />
i'm thankful that she wrote <a href="http://melissamccobbhubbell.typepad.com/meliscellanea/2010/11/kismet.html">this</a> blog post about me. heehee. she's cute.<br />
<br />
i got sad tonight, watching <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Its-Complicated-Meryl-Streep/dp/B0038N9WKU?ie=UTF8&tag=spanky-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">It's Complicated</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=spanky-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B0038N9WKU" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /> because i saw it with her & my sister & bc Meryl <i>REALLY</i> reminds me of her, esp in this movie. <b style="color: #0b5394;">::tear::</b> i got a little choked up. no lie.<br />
<br />
here's my <i>pretty pretty mommy </i>vintage style<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2128/214/104/519564497/n519564497_1932130_4767.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="280" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2128/214/104/519564497/n519564497_1932130_4767.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>.<br />
&, even though it doesn't really tie into this post, like, at all, these photos just crack me up. (My mommy is the itty bitt!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v1938/214/104/519564497/n519564497_1850520_275.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v1938/214/104/519564497/n519564497_1850520_275.jpg" width="290" /></a></div>My Grandfather, the dapper gentleman in the back, is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_McCobb">Paul McCobb</a>, famous furniture designer from the 1950's (even though the Wiki has NOTHING about his wife & children... rude). The other doode is my mom's half brosi, Paul Jr. & the gorg-a-saurus is my Grandma, Molly. I, unfortunately, never got to meet Paul, since he passed when my mother was only 9, & I don't really remember Molly, since she passed when I was about 2.<br />
but look at my itty bitt mommy pie!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v1938/214/104/519564497/n519564497_1850334_3142.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v1938/214/104/519564497/n519564497_1850334_3142.jpg" width="340" /></a></div>eeeee, hahahahh!!!!!! She's sooooo cuteee!!!<br />
<br />
I luv it when she tells me stories, like the time she wanted to watch The Wizard of Oz, even though she was realllly scared of the flying monkeys, & she'd run down the mirrored hallway from her parents room to the living room, basically just to tell her mom that she was scared, get in trouble, & RUN back to the room to keep watching, all to turn around & do it again. I don't know why, but i have a vivid idea, in my head, about what this whole saga looked like. i'm giggling just thinking about it.<br />
I like the story about how she'd climb up the built in shelves to get things that she wasn't supposed to have & how 1/4 of her eye is green, while the other 3/4 is blue, because she sprayed some cleaner in her eye when she was little & didn't tell bc she didn't want to get yelled at.<br />
<br />
Since i've been living in Cali, i've been talking to Ma basically every day, at least once. She has, on a few occasions, to her dismay sometimes, been my talking buddy while i wonder around the grocery store asking "what should i make for dinner" or "where are olives" (yes, i asked her where the olives were in the grocery store on the other side of the states, where she's never been, were). We've talked about how our lives have turned into a weird parallel of each other, both ending up as the "woman of the house" living with a [sometimes] "Grumpy Spouse" (moms words) & an "Irresponsible 19-year-old". it's def weird that we are both the one cleaning up around the house, cooking dinner, being housewives while looking for jobs, making art, blogging, & having our etsy shops.<br />
<br />
<div style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>i miss my mom so much. </i></span></div><div style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>i hate that it took a 3,000 mile distance to make us closer, but i'm glad that we are.</i></span></div><div style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>i need to go home for a visit.</i></span></div><div style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>i need a mom hug.</i></span></div><br />
everyone go & read my moms blog. she's just getting back into it. her & my sister & dad all moved about a month after i did (but they moved one town over, not three time zones..) & she's been trying to get their new apartment in order, so she, like me, is just getting back into the blog-o-sphere.<br />
<br />
so, i'm hoping that my mom will be Skyping me in, so i can "pseudo"-sit at the Thanksgiving Dinner Table.<br />
<br />
i hope that she's thankful that i wrote this.<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">this Thanksgiving, i'm thankful for my family, whom i love & miss & hope i can see for Christmas, & i'm so very thankful of the relationship that i have with my mommy. </div><br />
i can't even think about how much i am thankful for my puppy, Holly. Honestly, just thinking about her at all makes me burst into tears because i miss her so much.<br />

doesn't it suck when you think someone is pretty kool, then you find out they are full of shit & really just a virus? ugh. i'm so sick of that.<br />
So, knowing that it would be a loooong time before i'd ever be able to afford real extensions... so long that my hair would probably be super long before i had half the money, i tried to find a nice clip in pieces. Even those can run you like $100. So i started searching on etsy.<br />
<br />
I was hoping that i'd be able to find someone who would be willing to exchange a hair piece for something from my shop. No one wanted to do that... :(<br />
<br />
Then i found <b style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Dawn</span></b>. She has an <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/nesalk">etsy shop</a> & she makes clip in hair pieces. I messaged her & asked about an exchange. She said YES!<br />
<br />
I made her a custom dream catcher & she made me a custom hair piece!!!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">to say that things have been crazy would be putting it HELLA lightly...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">just for my sanity, or what's left of it, left's start with Halloween & progress quickly, so i don't dwell...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Oct. 31st:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">I woke up, hung out in the bedroom with Bazinga for a little while, watching TV, took a shower & was getting ready to paint him up like a zombie for work. He went into the shower & i went into the kitchen to find that it had FLOODED, yes FLOODED like a motherfucker. Of course, we didn't even end up having time to paint his face like a Zomb [which ended up being a good thing, bc his dumb job canceled the "dress up for work on h.ween" thing, so he woulda looked like a damn fool], but he didn't even have any time to help me deal with the catastrophe. Roomie got out of HER bathroom, saw me standing in a puddle of murky DISGUSTING backed up sink water, complete with food bits, asked me what happened, &, when i said "the fucking sink overflowed", promptly said "oh... damn." & walked into her room, closing the door behind her...</div><div style="text-align: left;">this is when Spanky goes from frantic & annoyed to MEAN RED.</div><div style="text-align: left;">I asked roomie to PLEASE clean the front deck because she'd had people over the last few days & it was a wreck & i didn't want trick or treaters to see that. she said she would, but, of course, she didn't do anything.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Nov. 1st:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Maintenance guy comes again [he'd come an HOUR after i'd called "emergency" maintenance the day before & said that they'd have to come back the next day to deal with the [basically] sewage that had covered our kitchen & seeped through the doorway & under the dining room rug]. </div><div style="text-align: left;">he snakes the drain.</div><div style="text-align: left;">I ask Roomie to PLEASE help me clean up the insanly grossified kitchen [seeing as we ALL live here & i can't, for the life of me, understand why it's MY job, & my job only, to clean it]. She, of course, does not...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Nov. 2nd:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Bazinga goes to work early, I wake up & tool around on the compy for a little bit before bothering to wake up Roomie to ask her, once again, to help me with our nasti-rific kitch. She wakes up & wonders, hung over, into the living room, sniffling, asking me if anyone "came into the house last night" while she wasn't home. Uh... no... why? - Well, because, all of her rent money [due Nov 3rd], which she keeps in a <b><i>highly secure</i></b> glass pickle jar in her room has been stolen. - awesome.</div><div style="text-align: left;">She has a fit, asks to borrow my phone to make "A call" [aka about 50 calls, to non mobile-to-mobile number which i'll prob get charged for]. </div><div style="text-align: left;">She's CLEARLY too distraught to help me with the mess in the kitchen [&, honestly, how DARE i even THINK she'd be able to help me scrub the floor], so i have to do it. </div><div style="text-align: left;">Here i go, on my hands & knees with nothing but paper towels & [thank god] rubber gloves - because the ONE household item we asked Roomie to buy was a goddamn swiffer/mop which she hasn't bought in the 4 months we've lived here [thanks mommy for sending us one after this insanity!] - scrubbing what, basically looks like dried VOM from every surface, crevice, & corner of our kitchen, while waiting for the maintenance guy to come back.</div><div style="text-align: left;">They say they need to put in an industrial fan [SUPER LOUD] for the next day or so to dry up the carpet.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Are you keeping up? Kitchen: flooded, Rent $: stolen, Mess: still there, Roomie: worthless.</div><div style="text-align: left;">k, just checking</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Nov. 3rd:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"> We can't make rent, obvi, so Bazinga & Roomie have to go tell the Leasing Office that we are a bunch of assholes who can't be trusted to not have half the rent jacked from our apartment. They give us until the 10th.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Roomie states that she will work "every possible shift" to make up the cash.</div><div style="text-align: left;">My unemployment check still hasn't come.</div><div style="text-align: left;">I still haven't found a job.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Nov 7th:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">I win for the 2nd [ever] time [this season] in Fantasy Football.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Nov 8th: </b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Roomie tells us she made "pocket change" at work & can't give us anything for rent that night. We're still short, but my unemp check comes. She, somehow, seems to have enough dough to go to the WEED clinic, however & get "too stoned to go to work". She invites friends over.</div><div style="text-align: left;">I make chicken noodle soup.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Nov. 9th:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Roomie has people over... still. They drink almost all of our Soda, make a huge mess in the JSUT cleaned living room [our apartment complex had the rugs cleaned bc of the spill on the carpet. the living room was spotless.] I go to the bank to deposit my unemp check & make sure that, worst case, i'll be able to cover the rest of hers, if need be.</div><div style="text-align: left;">I come home, Roomie is stradeling a guy i've never met, on the deck, & tells me that "there was an accident". One of her friends had attempted to close the blinds in the kitchen [& must have pulled the chord & LET FUCKING GO] & smashed my 3 little glass martini/shot glasses that my friend Steff gave me for my 21st bday. </div><div style="text-align: left;">I want to cry.</div><div style="text-align: left;">I take EVERYTHING of mine from the kitchen & living room & put it in my room or in boxes & put them away. </div><div style="text-align: left;">I realize that there's no way she's going to make enough money that night to cover her ass with rent [& the $50 late fee]. I ask her to talk about "money". I flip out at her, telling her that she can't have this place be a FUCKING hotel [ or "shelter" since we don't see any money from them - "Moocher Shelter"]. She says "don't trip". I'm absolutely trip'n & i wanna smack her for telling me not to. I have another glass of Pinot Grigio.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Roomie & her bffer L go to work. Her guy friends leave.</div><div style="text-align: left;">We have leftover Chicken Noodle soup.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Roomie & L come back saying that "there were too many girls working tonight. we were turned away. L's mom is loaning me the cash. <i>don't trip</i>."- I say "ok", but i mean "i'll kill you".</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Nov. 10th:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Bazinga & I go to the bank [after he's back from the dentist where he finds out he has 3 cavities & needs over a thousand dollars - without medi ins - in dental work, asap]. We combine funds to get a money order for the TOTAL rent + late fee due (almost double my share, covering Roomies loss).</div><div style="text-align: left;">We come home. Roomie has her friends STILL here [yes, as in, they haven't left.. in days].</div><div style="text-align: left;">A few hours later, there is a commotion in Roomies bedroom. She's fighting with L. It's getting REALLY loud. ::SMACK:: - someone hit someone. L is screaming & eventually runs out of the apartment, demanding that the two boys go in & "get her shit" [which, there's a lot of since she's been basically living here for days]. Obvi, since L's mom was "loaning" Roomie the money for rent, she's not going to have it. Further more, since the blowout, Roomie doesn't "think it's a good idea" to go to work, since L works there, too. L "needs time to cool off".</div><div style="text-align: left;">Roomie asks if we can cover her. We [purposely] didn't tell her that we already did pay it. We wanted her to sweat it out a bit.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><b>I'll add:</b></i></div><div style="text-align: left;">- Roomie has since been "turning over a new leaf". She's rarely getting stoned, starting to work at a new club, not having people (accept for her one friend who is drama free) over, helping around the house & being very open about her making changes.</div><div style="text-align: left;">- I dropped a soda can tab into the drain with the disposal, reached in to get it & grabbed a handful of broken glass, slicing my fingers. I was NOT happy. Not wanting to have the maintenance guys come back for a 6th time, or whatever, in a week or two for the kitchen sink, i carefully put on a rubber glove today & fished the remaining shards out. I hope i got them all.</div><div style="text-align: left;">- I'm reading a book called "Love Sick" - it's kinda confusing me... </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

(although, most of the questions will most likely be posed by me, so i'm not sure he'll have much to say on the topics!!!)<br />
<br />
So...<br />
<br />
where do i find my "experts"? I already have my luv guru, <b style="color: magenta;">Miss Mercedes</b> of <a href="http://relationshipclean-up.blogspot.com/">"How to REALLY Hold On to the Man of Your Dreams"</a>, but i haven't... really... asked her yet..... but, hopefully i can at least GUILT her into it ("But Miss M, i already posted about you on the blog!!! you can't let me & my readers down!!!!" wink wink!)<br />
<br />
If you know of any bloggers who focus on relationship advice, please, let me know so i can contact them!!!<br />
<br />
MORE IMPORTANTLY:<br />
if YOU want to comment or input your advice to any posed question, PUH-lease keep your eyes out for the questions to be posted & e-mail me your advice. I'll post what i get & make sure to give you a link back! :)<br />
<br />
The first question is a BIT shallow, but, hey, you gotta play in the kiddie pool before you dive into the deep end, right?<br />
<br />
how do i get him to....<br />
<br />
know what kind of jewelry i like?<br />
<br />

I've been with Bazinga Boyf for about 7 months now, & Christmas is around the corner. I'm not the typical "BUY ME SHIT" type of girl, but i wouldn't mind something glitzy to admire over Christmas dinner. BUT, how do i let him know what type of bling i like, without being TOO in your face about it?<br />
Do i just say "hey, so you know, i like this, i don't like that.", do i take a catalog & circle/cross off the things i luv/hate? do i give up & just hope that he gets it right & then say i luv whatever he gets me (aka just be happy that he got me anything?).<br />
<br />
e-mail me your advice or a link to any experts to <a href="mailto:Spankyluvsit@gmail.com">Spankyluvsit@gmail.com</a>, tweet me <a href="http://www.twitter.com/spankyluvsit">@Spankyluvsit</a>, & keep an eye out for the answers!<br />

Well, i follow the twitter & i've LOLed at the book at Borders (i haven't watched the show..) & it made me think, there should be one of these for the silly things that my boyf, <b style="color: blue;">Bazinga</b>, says. So... tada!<br />

<br />
So, other than those projects, i've been searching for [legit] work, being dragged through interview processes for <a href="http://www.onedayonejob.com/jobs/the-landers-group/">bullshit "sales" positions</a> (aka 100% commission jobs where they want me to go door to door selling... i dunno... vacuums?), TRYING to keep this DAMN apartment clean, which is beyond frustrating given the fact that i have a SLOB for a roomie who i don't think has ever once cleaned anything in our apartment, like at all.<br />
She can be entertaining, but the novelty is rapidly wearing off...<br />

When i'm not doing any of that, i'm trying to be a good girlfriend, learning the finer details of Football from Professor/Coach <b style="color: blue;">Bazinga</b>, watching more football in past 2 months that i think i ever have in my life (even though i've always been a football fan, i've never watched EVERY GAME EVERY WEEK! PRO & COLLEGE) - but i don't mind. <br />
<br />
I've been cooking every night, baking often, trying not to gain all the weight back & juggling bills bills bills!!!<br />
