MUSEUM TRIP :)

THANK YOU to everyone and how well you have accepted my pregnancy. lol i havent experienced any negativity from anyone in my family, or my boyfriends family and i am truly thankful for that. i know in my situation a lot of people do get quite a bit of negative judgment placed upon them... i mean im not married, and definitely not "prepared" for this baby. but i do know that i will be a wonderful and loving mother and my boyfriend will be a loving and supportive father and partner. everyone is very excited for this baby, it'll be our first and the first grand-baby in both of our families!
a
thank you all so much! anyways... onto the actual post! :)

before our vacation my boyfriend and i went to the Anchorage museum to see the Gold Exhibition. if this is coming into your town i definitely recommend that you go see it, i mean.. its not the biggest exhibition in the world, but it was definitely nice. its actually one of the 10 most popular traveling museum exhibitions in the world.

haha i guess i dont know museum etiquette, cause we were totally taking HELLA pictures until one of the museum employees told us we couldnt take pictures. lol but i wanted to share!

it was a room covered entirely of 24 karat gold leaf. like if i was super duper raping the banks rich, i would totally cover the walls in my closet in gold leaf. hahaha it would be luxurious and wonderful!

& they had beautiful jewelry there. totally old, and soooo amazing. i wanted to break the plexi-glass and just take off with all this deliciousness.

muahahha you can see my purse in the reflection!

there were also a bunch of gold bars, gold coins.. and Emmy.. lol lotsa random stuff. but the gold was amazing. i looooooooooooooooooove gold!




haha he looks slightly asleep in this picture, but if anyone ever has the chance to go to the Anchorage Museum i would definitely recommend going! the new addition is beautiful. they've spent about $108 million dollars on the new side of the museum and its gooooorgeous. i would love to throw a party there, or even have my wedding reception there. the space is really beautiful and you can definitely dress it up.

then we went to the alaska side of the museum (the old, non-updated side) and i thought i would share some pictures. lol

this is a moose my friends. they're huge, they're like everywhere in anchorage in the winter time. sooo cute, but they're very dangerous.

giiiiiiiiiant cabbage! lol we see these all the time at the state fair. this year i saw a freaking 120 pound watermelon!

its an eagle! i've seen one in person.. like alive.. and its seriously the size of like a 5 year old. they're really big! you dont see these in the anchorage area, but go like 30 minutes outta anchorage and they're all over the place. keep your toy dogs inside!!

its a musk ox! they're totally ugly and totally stinky. lol :)

bees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my boyfriend is totally scared of them. haha we went to the saturday market (a type of farmers market) right after the museum.. and they had this displayed.


then it rained on us, so we had to run back to the car.. we got soaked :)
it was fun. i was hoping that this summer i would get more scenic pictures of things to do and places to go in alaska. unfortunately i wasnt about to, im really hoping i get to do some more stuff before it starts to snow. theres already termination dust (snow) on the mountain and its devastating!

YAY FINALLY!

this may not be exciting news for anyone but people who live in alaska but we are finally getting a Forever 21! soo exciting i can finally save myself the trouble of paying out the ass for shipping. shipping to alaska is always so EXPENSIVE. haha this may sound extremely lame, but alaska is so behind on retail stores. we just got a Target last year, our first Coach in 2007 and our first Kohls opened its doors in April 2009. shit, we got Abercrombie and Fitch in like 2002. we are seriously behind, i know.

im crossing my fingers for a Sephora. like that would seriously knock my socks off! or an H&M would be wonderful too. we dont even have an Express or a Victoria Secrets, its so depressing!

if you live in Anchorage and are jobless go check out the open interviews for Forever 21. they are looking for cashiers, management, head cashiers, stockers etc. Interviews are being held on June 18, 19 and 20 in the Dimond Center. stop by the old Gottschalk location in the Dimond Center for more details.

i would definitely apply if i was still in high school and could live off minimum wage, lol. but that store is a hot mess, it is way too much for me to handle. besides, retail is so not my thing. i used to work for victoria secrets and that seriously was a Panty Prison. i hated folding all those panties, but they gave out so many freebies it kind of made up for it. lol

i am totally hoping that this store opens before my giveaway ends so i can go pick up some goodies, but i doubt it. poooooooooooooooooooooooop :(

ohhh speaking of my giveaway. im going to be posting pictures of a few of the items i will be putting into my prize packages. i have like a whole small box of stuff so far. some of the items will be duo false lashes, fresh minerals trio eye palettes, and OPI nail polish. i will post pictures when i get home in a few ours, so i will leave you all in anticipation! lol

oh & i have a question:

1. do you think the deadline for my giveaway is too far stretched out?
- i know giving people about a month to do a contest entry is reasonable, but i keep thinking giving that much time for just a blog entry may be too much? i dont know, i think im just so excited to draw winners, lol. i wanna do it now! im so impatient

2. what type of items would you like to see in a giveaway prize package?
- i keep thinking of "great" or "useful" items to give away, but everyone has their own interpretation of those words, so let me know.. what would you like to see? especially since you may be the winner!

3. if you did win, could i mail you things in the future?
- haha not like a piece of my hair, or anything strange... but just to build a friendship. like if i got a sample of something i liked and i wanted you to try, or a letter cause i love you. hahah i sound so creepy... please dont be scared.

haha i hope everyone had a great monday! the week is almost over :)

SPRING?

i swore spring was here, all the snow had melted away & the road were finally getting dry. we're getting more hours of day light and the weathers getting warmer.... then i wake up to this. more snow, good grief!

ASH!

it snowed again this morning, it was pretty snow too. the light, fluffy, makes you wanna make a snow ball kind of snow. it would have been nice if it were earlier in winter, but it is fucking March ok, i want the snow to be over with. it needs to hurry up and melt away so i can wear sandals and so my car can be clean and stay clean. goodness! look at my foot prints in the snow, how cute is that. but then there my disgustingly dirty car haha damnit. anyways...

fuck the world and their lies. hella told me ash wasnt expecting to fall onto anchorage. south side of anchorage is experiencing trace amounts of ash, so i guess i need to stop by wal-mart and pick up masks for the family. im going to look so sexy in my ash mask. lol i shall post pictures after i buy them tonight.




in better news, baby bought me a cute ass hello kitty necklace. i got the package yesterday & i love it. my boyfriends the best, fuck the rest :) now im just waiting for the second one to get here, but we ordered it on ebay and its shipping from hong kong. its going to take forever to get here <3

GO BUY MASKS!

With the two most recent eruptions of Mt. Redoubt ash has fallen onto Homer and expected to be in the atmosphere over Anchorage. although according to ADN.com ash wont touch down on Anchorage, but i would suggest to buy masks anyways. with the ash hoovering over the city theres still a possibility small amounts of ash can touch ground, so you can still breathe it in. get a mask to be safe.

for anyone traveling in and out of anchorage tonight, sucks to be you. alaska airlines has cancelled all flights in and out of the city until further notice. fedex, era aviations and other services have also cancelled flights in and out of the city.

if the ash does fall onto anchorage life will go on as normal. they arent expecting the amount of ash fall to cancel school or work. so stop crossing your fingers for an extra day off. you're biggest concern may be a light film on your car, but nothing else. there is still no need to freak out. no one needs to stock up on water and batteries. while a mask isnt necessary im just recommending it as a safety precaution.

MOUNT REDOUBT ERUPTED!

AHHHHHHHHHHH! we are so going to die, well according to mei atleast. haha mt. redoubt erupted last night 3/22/2009 at 10:38pm and has erupted 5 times since then. luckily the winds are carrying the ash away from anchorage, so there isnt any ash expected to fall onto anchorage. but i bet all the white people here are freeaking out, running to walmart and costco buying up all kinds of supplies and shit. calm the fuck down people! lol fucking retards. everyone was expecting to miss work & school, but sadly we all have to continue our lives like normal. gay.

but for anyone north of anchorage: talkeetna, willow and surrounding areas of denali national park, please stay safe. stay indoors and keep your pets indoors. no need to stock up on supplies or freak out, only a light amount of ash is expected to fall... all the heavier stuff has already falled down the side of the volcano. be smart people!

yesterday was a fun day for us :) we went out to dinner with one of my oldest friends kristina and it was nice. we ate pizza at nino's, lol jon ordering a pizza is hilarious. him and his ridiculous $31 pizza and we only ate 2 slices. haha it was yummy though, too bad our waitress was a completely ridiculous idiot. it was nice to catch up and hang out again. i hate it when you lose touch with people you were once so close with. kristina and i have been friends since the 6th grade, thats like 10 years now!
we also watched know1ng. i liked it, it was a little ridiculous but enjoyable. it was really sad too. i know it has some really mixed reviews, but its one of those movies you just have to see for yourself. haha i love the scene where the people were going hella crazy and taking hella shit from the gas station. i totally imagined that happening here when i heard mt. redoubt has erupted. lol
