What's in a name...
11:10 AM |

To quote Shakespeare...which I regularly do by the way...
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
Well Mr. Jetplane sure isn't Juliet and we sure aren't talking about the Montagues and Capulets here on today's blog. So what are we talking about? Mr. Jetplane got his call sign on Friday.
He drunk himself into a stupor and his call sign is Contra.
Yes this may come to mind...
But it will also mean CONstantly TRAsmitting..which in plain (non aviator) speak means...constantly talking or aka Mr. Jetplane never shuts up...which is true.
He drank off the first call sign, which he didn't like and was probably a joke anyway. They do it on purpose so they'll want to drink it off, and therefore get drunk. I went to the squadron to pick him up at 10:30pm which he asked me to in a drunked phone call I received at 9:30pm...just to find out that someone else was already driving him home...
Yes that's awkward walking into a cigar and alcohol filled squadron bar with a bunch of drunkards, in what was technically your pajamas looking for your drunk as hell husband...the commander kindly spoke with me and apologized for any confusion. No worries I wasn't mad, just slightly annoyed.
I walked into the house to find Mr. Jetplane fully clothed laying face down on the floor in the living room. He then proceed to tell me he needed to throw up. I told him there was a perfectly good bathroom to do this in, but he insisted on doing it in the kitchen sink. After much discussion I then gave in, and said "Fine...but if you are going to throw up in my kitchen sink at least do me a favor and do it on the garbage disposal side" Which he did.
He then proceeded to lay face down in the family room on one of the dog's pillows and sleep it off until the morning...oh yeah I was 1 proud wife :)

Casa de Jetplane is in various states of disrepair or repair depending on how you look at it. Its exciting but its annoying at the same time. We hope to be getting gloriously dark, hand-strapped hard woods throughout the main living areas installed next week. But before that could happen we had to pull up the 20+ yr old thick-as-hell carpet, carpet pad, tack strips, and countless staples. Don't even get me started on the stairs leading to the loft...
So needless to say, we've been walking on backer board for about 2 weeks and everyone is annoyed, including the dogs. So much so, that they have agreed to lay together in the living room, which rarely happens... 
Last night we began tackling the installation of the 1/4" plywood and I got to try to the air compressor staple gun that shoots 1" long staples. UMMMM....it was awesome and I loved it. So much more fun the job that Mr had, measures and cutting all the wood to fit...boo.
But as with any home improvement tasks, us Jetplanes prefer to stay hydrated with adult beverages. Guess who's is who?
Doesn't everyone drink lil cheap champagne and a Tall Boy of Coors Light while installing plywood...no just us? Oh well... We're saving ourselves over $2,000 by doing this ourselves, that deserves a drink, right?
Wish us luck, we're installing the kitchen, living room, and hallway tonight and this weekend....

I am on the lookout for an awesome bar cart or a cabinet, table, etc. that can easily be used as a bar cart. Perhaps it is well known that the Jetplanes like to partake in adult beverages, right now I'm extremely partial to 3 Olives Cherry Vodka. I also enjoy gin and tonics, wine, champagne, and the occasional light beer...but enough about me and my drinking habits. 
I want a bar cart and I know exactly where I want it to go in the family room. To my total surprise, Mr. Jetplane is on board for this one. He thinks a lot of my ideas are crazy...I mean really crazy. But luckily I can show him 4 or 5 pictures of what I'm talking about and he now agrees I might not have lost my mind.
Image 1 from Lonny, no longer have info for image 2 or 3. If you do, please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due.

This is how we roll...

1st things 1st, thank you all so much for the kind comments and tweets about our 2yr anniversary. That was really sweet and I appreciate it so much. We didn't really blow it out this year, with our recent Vegas trip and upcoming purchase of the 2nd house, we were low key.
We went out to dinner, hit up Lowes* for rock for the backyard, and then home. I had purchased a lil champagne earlier in the week.

Yeah baby...that's a clearance sticker on a bottle of Veuve Clicquot, I guess people over here don't like champagne. I got it for $35 from Target. Oh yeah...I'm not too proud to show you how we roll over here. But to be honest, I'm not a champagne snob...especially since moving here and the pickings are sparse. I do miss me some Sophia...that's my favorite champagne.
Too bad Mr. Jetplane doesn't really like champagne...oh well more for me right?
Well in honor of our cheapness, this song comes to mind.... Happy Tuesday.
*If you want to get some customer service at Lowe's where a low cut dress and heels...you'll get plenty of service.

Of MY LIFE!!!
There I said it.
I'm back from Chicago and had a WONDERFUL time. However, I do feel like I seriously gained 10 lbs. I haven't ate a 'real meal' since I got there. I'm in a bad way, and I have a wedding on Saturday that I need to look 'good' at. Well, 'good' is a variable term, but still... don't want to look like a fat ass.
Anyway, I'm crazy busy today and hope to blog about the trip some more this evening.
But one thing that had to be blogged about this morning, was the term that my girlfriends and I coined over the weekend... We started saying...."He's having a Massengill moment!" and/or "He's a Massengill!"
You see...what makes it even funnier is that guys don't even know what Massengill is... they think that name sounds familiar, they think they know 'who' Massengill is... but totally don't know its a brand name for a douche. Ha Ha!!! No idea that we're calling you a douche bag or that you're acting like a douche bag... OMG so funny... or at least we thought it was. Well, all day of drinking does make us some pretty funny ladies... if we do say so ourselves.
OMG... I'm pretty sure my body is going through grease/fat withdraws...
Happy Monday
XOXO

Champagne Taste... Beer Budget
8:54 AM |

As I have said before I love champagne, its my favorite thing to drink. While my most favorite champagne is Veuve Clicquot which retails on sale for usually $49.99, (usually $50 - $70 bottle depending on where you buy it) it is a little out of the price range for non-important drinking festivities. (FYI - Cost Plus World Market sometimes sells it for $37.99, Winn- Dixie right now $59.99). 
I do like to drink "cheaper" champagnes, when I can find them and when I like them. And my cheap favorite sells at Winn-Dixie for $4.99, now that's some cheap champagne.
Its Verdi Spumante, its a sweet champagne but easily drinkable. We served it at my wedding and it went over HUGE. We had so many people comment on how great the champagne was. Our bridal party enjoyed it and so did I....

I drank a bottle of Verdi this weekend, while Brent was enjoying his Sam Adams Octoberfest....
