Hi friends! I, along with my fellow Stubbers am taking part in the Bay Area Heart Walk on September 14. Our president, Chris Tsakalakis is this years chairman… and we are walking to support the American Heart Association. 1 out of every 4 women dies because of heart disease, and it is the leading cause of death overall in the United States. Any and all support is appreciated.

Blog abandonment…I’m back, IT’S BASEBALL TIME!

Shan — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 19:55:55 +0000

I am failing at my blog.. but look, I’m back! To talk about one of my favorite things… BASEBALL SEASON IS ALMOST UPON US!!!! Spring Training has officially begun, and what better way to ring in the 2012 season than with the return of Buster Posey. You can listen to a live webcast, today at 12:05 PT when Posey plays for the first time since his injury… Happy Birthday to me!

The words of Roger Hornsby always ring true to me this time of year. “People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.” Well people, SPRING IS HERE! GO GIANTS!!

My countdown has started… 34 days until Opening Day!

Captain America…

Let’s be honest here… the real reason everyone wants to see Captain America is b/c of the ah-mazing transformation of Chris Evans.

You’re welcome for today’s daily eye-candy… longer blog update to come at a later date.

Royal obsession…

Shan — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 04:55:58 +0000

ugh, work and life has kept me from my dear blog. Anyway – I am taking this time to draw attention to one of my favorite obsessions… The Royal Wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton. Ever since I was a kid I have been fascinated by royals – mostly b/c my mother hails from the land down under which is still under the British Commonwealth – and I’ve gotten used to magazines focused on the royal family. I remember being woken up in the middle of the night to watch Princess Diana’s funeral – and plan on doing the same when Wills and Kate exchange vows.

I LOVE KATE MIDDLETON. Her style is impeccable and without sounding creepy – I totally want to be her friend. She seems so down to earth and fun! I’ve already done an extensive search on where to find the blue dress above- which sold out online and in stores hours after official photos were released. The gorgeous white dress by REISS – worn in official engagement photos was re-released online.

Anyway – the invitations have been sent and studies are showing that the American interest in the Royal Wedding is higher than those in Britain… FASCINATING.

Giggles.

Here are some of the SomeEcards I have received in the last few days… I love this website, and implore everyone to send them to their friends (including me because I can’t get enough). They are the best way to break the awkwardness OR become awkward OR to just laugh at (which is what I do!)

^(this one i sent to my BFF, but it totally goes both ways)^

My Favorite Sites…

Shan — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 07:11:18 +0000

Happy New Year everyone! I’ve decided to share some of my favorite links…

Recently, I’ve become obsessed with SomeEcards – they are freaking hilarious and you will more than likely find multiple that apply to your life… especially awkward situations. I probably send one a day (those lucky few know who they are). One of my favorite for the New Year is below.

If you know me you know i LOVE The Office… it’s brilliantly written and I could quote it all day long. OfficeTally.com is a fansite that includes so many fun tidbits, contests, links, spoilers, etc. It’s updated almost daily, and it always leaves me satisfied and smiling (that’s what she said).

Yahoo Astrology I enjoy horoscopes. Most of the time I just believe the parts that sound nice… but I think something is to be said about the day/month/year you were born and also compatibility with others. 2011 is the year of the RABBIT!! So here’s to all my other ’87 babies!

As a girl, I enjoy me some good fashion/beauty/health/love advice. Here are a few of my faves:

Lulus.com- A la Mode Blog – They also have super cute clothes! Glamour Magazine (duh) and PopSugar - also good for gossip and such.

I always like to know about fun things going on in the area… Thrillist is great for SF goodies!

That’s all for now folks! Happy 2011!

Things that make me laugh…

One of the ultimate things of hilarity for me this year was the “BED INTRUDER” video. I can’t get enough of it, in all forms/remixes/dubs/parodies, etc. Below (thanks to my secret bf Daniel Tosh…) check out students at Liberty University performing a Christmas Carol version of the Bed Intruder Song.

BAHAHA

Chex Mix: It’s like a million different flavors in your mouth

Shan — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 06:11:37 +0000

Ok, Ok… I’ve spent a good many years of my life watching soap operas (thanks to my grandma) – I went through a time where I’d record Days of Our Lives every single day, and quite possibly I may have scheduled my classes around the program in college… i still keep up with Days and have ventured to back to my first love, General Hospital. This is all besides the point. Soap operas are geared towards stay at home moms (wait what? not 23 year olds?) We all like to have some form of escape!

Comedian Kristen Schaal tweeted a few links regarding DAYS and product placement… wow. Hilarious. See one of the videos below (yes, EJ, take your shirt off), and/or click here to read more.

DIVISION CHAMPIONS!!

Shan — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 04:47:40 +0000

yay GIANTS!! Such an amazing day with the Giants clinching the NL West… it took the full 162 games of play to get us to this point. And it feels so good!
