Not Working At Hooters

Wow. It's been way too long since the last post. We apologize to our loyal fans. Well, as you can imagine we've been up to a lot since the last post. There has been an outing to Child's Park with two of our friends which involved much hiking. It also involved wading/sitting in water under the falls (which means that there was also some changing from jeans to bathing suits/shorts in the middle of a crowded state park). The trip yielded some fantastic photos of us playing in waterfalls, as well as with big sticks (tickling trees, fighting, etc...). 

We also have this tendency to hang out with substitute teachers from high school (well that's an exaggeration, but this particular substitute is actually our friend). He, Rocky*, Reno, and Roxie were sketchballs and hung out in the parking lot of KINGS playing with shopping carts and all the ridiculous props that exist in Roxie's trunk. Remember when we said to be on the lookout for the lampshade? Well, here it is!!:

Most of the adventures of the past week have led to thrift stores such as unique, the salvation army, and incog-neat-o, where we've each purchased some shoes and jewelry and so on and so forth. There are pictures to prove that we were, in fact, in said thrift stores:


Roxie with worlds best bustier and flower crown. She bought some sweet saks fifth avenue heeled low boots, and that necklace that she's wearing right there. Reno bought a fantastic pair of keds from the 70s, but not the had or gun pictured below. 



We also stumbled across some very very very old beer in an antique store for $4. We question if it is, in fact, drinkable. You decide. There were also some awkwardly shaped cookie cutters, that turned out to all be versions of Santa carrying a bag of toys.

After, we returned to Roxie's house with Rocky to make some crepes, which was an excellent adventure, until Reno tried to make one when there wasn't enough batter left. Luckily Roxie saved it (or at least made it edible) but it was still dubbed the reject crepe. View Roxie rescuing the reject crepe:


There is also an amazing photo of Reno eating it angrily, but our friends can check facebook for that fabled photo. Roxie's little brother also made a shirtless appearance at the crepe-making festival, which lead to a wonderful photobooth session of Roxie's computer. She would post the pictures, but the shirtlessness might be too much for many of our weaker-stomached readers. 

We also saw the Sex and the City movie. It was alright. We're still deciding how we feel about it. It definitely did the job of bringing closure to the stories of the four, but the cinematography was hideous. We have a game for you when you see it: COUNT THE NUMBER OF TIMES YOU SEE THE MICROPHONE DIP INTO THE FRAME! If you get a number less than 7, you are not observant. 

*It should be noted that Rocky is a new addition to this dynamic duo, thereby making the duo a trio on certain occasions. He is very Italian and has some issues with memory loss (He called Roxie "April" from pre-kindergarden to freshman year of high school). He is oddly flexible and enjoys interpretive dance. In addition to his own dancing, he often criticizes the dancing of Roxie and Reno.
