Happy Hour Awkwardness

Let's begin this week with a quick, embarrassing story. Sexy Nerd and I went bowling the other day and decided to partake in the alley's happy hour special. We went to the bar and I ordered us two bottles of beer. It's not something I do often (okay, the last time may have been in Las Vegas, however many years we were last there) but ordering beer is simple enough, right? Bartender: You want to leave it open? Me: Sure! Sexy Nerd: No! Me: But I want to drink it now. That's it. From now on, I'm sticking with my Michelob ULTRA Light Cider , straight from the fridge. (For all my fellow non-orderers of beer, the bartender meant the bill . Oh!)

BLOG HOP! Link Up Your Favorite Posts

My super-cute button. You know you want to post it/pin it/share it/love it: "Baaaaa" the little lamb says cutely, hindering any attempt you make at resisting. Yes, I have had a lot (lot. lot.) of sugar and caffeine this evening. Why do you ask?

How To Increase Traffic to Your Blog

...otherwise known as the Not "Baaad" Sundays blog hop! After linking up, I'd love to know: Are you going away for 4th of July this weekend, next weekend, or not at all? It's tricky to get away from work with the holiday being right in the middle of the week. Now, let's see all the nifty awesomeness everyone has been posting! I'm posting this a little early. It will be interesting to see if we get more links.

How to Plan Your Vacation to Australia

Sexy Nerd is IMPOSSIBLE to plan a vacation with! He's the kind of person who says things like "Why are you stressing out about this? Just book something." and then complains about everything you consider booking. I really wanted to include a stopover in Honolulu. It would break up the long flight from LAX to Sydney and only cost a little more than flying directly. With our 5 year wedding anniversary approaching, we had been hoping to revisit our ceremony location and eat our wedding cake (one of the benefits of using a cake that the bakery has in stock every day). Unfortunately, no matter how hard I planned, I just couldn't seem to create an itinerary that included Hawaii. Sexy Nerd kept saying to skip it. He said that a trip to Australia should focus 100% on Australia and that he didn't care about stopping in Honolulu. So, I showed him an idea for an itinerary. "But I thought we were going to stop in Hawaii," he said, completely crushed. &qu
