Another Reason Why my Dad is Awesome

Today I received an e-mail from Dad (aka Bob-o).  I clicked on the hyperlink and discovered, yet again, that my Dad is a source of non-stop awesomeness & entertainment:

my thoughts exactly!

UPGRADE

Hey Kids, remember our friend the cheetah??

Well, we have not seen him out during our bike rides for the past few weeks...

And now we know why.

It looks like he has upgraded his ride:

Only in Qatar.  Awesome.

There will be TACOS

I think this just may be my new life motto:

nom, nom, nom.

Quirks of Qatar

Dear Qatar,

 You crack me up sometimes.

Take this picture I took this past weekend for example:

Please ignore our super tight & bright colored spandex outfits, but
could you be more random & unneccessary?!

I am guessing probably.

That's all for now. Thanks.

xoxo, KP

I wonder where this cupcake came from??

I was reading one of my fav blogs cakespy.com and came across this picture:

Do you see the AWESOME t-shirt the girl on the right is wearing?!

The unicorn is pooping CUPCAKES!!!

It's absolutely brillant.  I.DESPERATELY.NEED.ONE.

So I googled "unicorn pooping cupakes" (had a good snigger about typing that into my browser) and found that they were selling this shirt:

at Hot Topic.  Not exactly the same, but equally hilarious and awesome.

In my search I also came across these two other gems:

(Yes, I am aware that I am too easily amused.)

Seriously, I was so excited about these pictures that I was INSPIRED to create my own!

Which then turned into this:

hahaha. Unicorns pooping cupcakes, love it!

KP at Work - A Self Portrait

This was how I felt at work this morning... note the puddle of drool.

Nice Kitty??

A typical sight on our Friday morning bike ride...

And we were FINALLY able to catch it on camera.

Only in Qatar. Awesome.

Mmmmm

So today I was browsing through some folders on my Macbook that I have not touched in ages.  I was in pursuit of some study materials from college to (hopefully) help on my quest to earn my Professional Engineering license (an 8 hour exam, plus 4 hour supplement for the State of California on top of professional recommendations and qualified work experience, blah, blah, blah).  Anyway, I randomly came across this photo tucked away in the stash and immediately started laughing outloud.

Got to love those "free smells."  I am quite sure this beauty was taken after a long night of drinking at one of my favorite college watering holes that is right above it.  Senior year this was my BFF and my go-to late night place...slash we would have them deliver to us at our sorority house ALL.THE.TIME.  Delivery sandwiches, seriously, that is a stroke of pure genius if you ask me.  Mmm, I can taste their Beach Club now.

Five bucks to anyone who can name the bar I stumbled out of to go to here.  Any Hokies out there? ;-)

Super Suit

Big Alaskan glacier:

Check.

Beers cooled by glacial ice:

Check.

Successful field testing in wild Alaskan wilderness of sick super suit:

Check. Check.

Super sick super suit is too hot for near-arctic Alaskan wilderness conditions:

Check. Awesome.

Flippin Awesome Flyers

I would like to meet the geniuses behind these posters and shake their hands.  Well done.

Special thanks to JM for finding these gems and passing them on.

White Girl Dance Moves

The best thing about being a twenty-something chic is that when you are out on the dance floor you think you are the hottest stuff on the planet:

clearly.

and you know all the sickest.dance.moves.ever.

All of which include pointing;

Lots of pointing.

and singing,

and hugging,

and most importantly, gang signs.

Oh, the white girl dance skills. Awesome.

Happy Hour Humor

Unintentionally Awesome

This was me tonight....


I completely missed a BBQ and Thursday night happy hour as I accidentally passed out in a position extremely similar to Brody in this picture...except more embarrassingly I was not watching TV but getting ready to do "The Shred" workout DVD and was in a sports bra and running shorts. Awesome.

Awesome Innovations

For those of you headed out into the wilderness for Forth of July, I would like to present you the newest innovation in campsite amenities....

The Natural Cooler (oohh, ahhh)

Note: This is preferable for campsites near water, particularly cold water. This was built in a stream that comes from glacial runoff...oh yeah, those beers were frosty.


PS - in process of updating the site with a new title & background for summer...it will soon be cooler, promise!

You Know You Are Awesome When...

You use the recent flu that is circulating around the office as your excuse to take the day off to go shredding. It is especially awesome when the forecast looks like this:

Hey, that's what PTO is for!

Note To Self:

This dog is awesome.

End Note.
