BabbsFavorites Numero Uno: Or as they say...BFAVS NUMS UNS

Ah ha! GOTCHA.
That's right. I caught you all in the act of DOUBTING whether or not I would blog in the near future.
Well I'm proud to say it's been five days since my last post.
Call me rash, but I think it's safe to look now folks because.....I'MONAROLL.

Ens whos.
So there I was.
Thinking about what wisdom I could impart on the blogging world.
Yeahhh...didn't work.
BUT. I did come up with the latest installment on Absolutely.
I call it...

BFAVS OF THE WEEK 

Catchy, eh?? The "B" stands for babbs (me) and the "Favs" stands for favorites and, well, you get the picture.  The neat thing is that it'll constantly change and I personally think it will enhance my image/give Absolutely the zest it needs. I've decided to do this every so often to keep y'all on yer toesies.
Alright. Here we go. The first ever -

BFAVS OF THE WEEK

 MOVIE
 Spirited Away


Wait...Spirited Away as in that creepin Japanese Anime film where that scary frog spirit eats everyone and no one knows what's going on that came out like ten years ago?
The very same.
Watched it when I was like 8 and was SCARRED.
BUT. Thanks to some prodding by Brynmore, we watched it and...I loved it.
As cliche as this sounds, now that I'm older, I understand it.
Aaaaaand it's surprisingly funny.
Aaaaaaand the scary frog spirit isn't scary, just...misunderstood.
Aaaaaaaand I'm in love with Haku.
Aaaaand I encourage you all to watch it.

TV SHOW
Psych

 Toats hilars. 
You'd need to watch it yourself to discover the depth of hilarity.
Going strong on season 4...

BOOK
The Maze Runner/The Scorch Trials


Please take a moment to get on the ground and WORSHIP these books.
.................... 
If you have never laid eyes on these coveted covers, wrench yourself away from my blog (yes, it's THAT important) and hightail to the nearest Borders.
Seriously.
There hasn't been a book series since Hunger Games that has captured my attention so.
I read The Scorch Trials in one day...aka today.
Highly, HIGHLY recommend.

GUILTY PLEASURE
Instant Cream of Wheat


Go ahead. Laugh all you want.
But to someone who's been on a liquid diet for...forever?...Cream of Wheat is like hot cereal gold.
Two packs just this morning.
And to someone who's lost all faith in eating...that's a BFD.

CATCH PHRASE
#thatawkwardmoment...


I've been using it more and more this past week.
I've even found that there's a whole website dedicated to this sort of thing.
My fav?
"That  awkward moment wend Voldemort attempts to hug you..."
Oh and PLUS, I think I'm gonna start using "neat" more.

and since we're going along with the whole awkward thing...
AWKWARD FAMILY PHOTO

Hahahhahaaaaa....classic. Never gets old.  

and finally...

CAT SHIRT
"I Got Another Whale"


Awwwhhh...auwahhh....please just....bask....in its infinite cat shirt glory.
This one's next on my list.
CURSE YOU THREADLESS.COM FOR BEING SOLD OUT OF MEDIUMS!!!
I request a reprint everyday.

Pretty zippy, eh? Well my dear friends, this is the beginning of many...

#Thatawkwardmoment when you realize you have jaw surgery...

Soooo...I'm a teensy bit rusty. How do these things usually start?

Hello. My name is Abby.
This is my blog.
I love dancing in the rain and peace signs.
If U cAn'T aCcEpT mE 4 wHo I aM tHeN uR nOt WoRtH mY tImE**:..

Ok I'm not THAT rusty. Let me try again.

Hello. My name is Abby and I'm a FB.
(Hi Abby)
No no no, not a FaceBooker but a Faulty Blogger.
I know you've heard every rant/lament/excuse in the Faulty Blogger Book from me, so we'll just skip that part. And maybe throw in one of those (insert drawn out story about why Abby has not blogged here)
Now that we've got all THAT hizzle out of the way, let us speak of happier things. LIKE...(drum roll please)...

WHAT ABBY HAS BEEN DOING FOR ROUGHLY THE PAST DOS MONTHS
       Aww. I even put it in an exciting new font...

Well. There was this guy.
(aka THE SENIOR BALL SPECTACULAR. I think it goes right up there with "Being Born" on the list of BEST DAYS OF MAH LYPHE!!!)

 We're into points...but not your average points.

And this guy...gradiation? greadution? Gra-something...

And the starts with a "T" and ends with a "Rek" (literally) Guy.
NOTE: I would not usually put this picture up, but since I have failed so miserably at blogging, a picture of me in a BONNET should hopefully make up for that. Copy and paste as you will...

Yes. That's me on the left hand side. Notice my precarious position on the handcart. This was moments before my leg got stuck in the wheel, almost landing me in the water.

And now for the mother that crowns all mothers.

JAW SURGERY
 That's right. 5 hours. 1 night in the hospital. 2 bottles of liquid Lortab. 1 jaw bra. 20 pounds added to cheeks. 100+ movies to keep me entertained.
aaaaaaaaand  
6 weeks on a LIQUID DIET.
I WANT TO DIE.
too dramatic you say?
ha! nope.
The whole "you don't know what you got till it's gone" slaps me in the face EVERY. STINKING. DAY. I feel like King Midas, but instead of gold, my touch turns food into a shapeless/tasteless "meal" of despair. Blend or die has become my new motto.
Let me illustrate this for you:

WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD EATS



  WHAT I EAT

 Don't worry - the carrots/celery are not included.






You get the picture. BUT I'm a glass-half-full kind of girl so good news! Only three more weeks ladies and gents. And then it's Happy Sumo/Cafe Rio/J-Dawg's/Slab Pizza/Kneaders/Wendy's/Beto's/Taco Bell with me.

Hold on Pork Salad...I'm almost there....
