Travel Trapped in Babbles



Sarah {Venus Trapped in Mars}  ::  Kym {Travel Babbles}




Kym:: Texas Roadhouse
Sarah:: Pizza Hut


Kym:: Ummm...I can put both of my legs behind my head? Is that considered talent? Can I use that at Miss America?
Sarah:: I can do a baby cry. Not just scream "whaaa" but you would think there was a newborn in my vocal cords. 




Kym:: Mmmmm....well let's put it this way, Fox is my second favorite F word. Don't judge me, that four letter word gets a lot of slack, but I think it's very versatile.
Sarah:: Wigwam. No matter how bad of a day you're having, the second the word wigwam slides off your lips you will be instantly happier. Don't believe me, give it a go.....




Kym:: The only "celebrity" I've ever met in real life was Jason Earles from Hannah Montana back in 2008. He's was like 5 feet tall and 30 years old playing a 15 year old boy at the time, which I still think is pretty flipping creepy!
Sarah:: I've met Chipper Jones, I was 8. I saw Peyton Manning at a bar once but chickened out on saying hi. I went on John Legend's tour bus in hopes that he was there, but it turned out to just be his crew doing drugs. We left. 








Kym:: A princess. But in all seriousness, I look forward to one day owning my own dance and barre studio.
Sarah:: Olympic Badminton Player. But in all seriousness, Olympic Badminton Player. //For the record, I'm aware the picture below is table tennis. I don't have one of me playing badminton (yet)//





Kym:: I would love to live in Key West or Tahiti, but I'll probably end up living by a small stream in Massachusetts.
Sarah:: I think I'm where I want to be. About a year ago I started applying for jobs in all the major cities I love (Dallas, Chi-town, NYC) and scored a position in Dallas. Now here I am rootin for all the teams I love, what could be better?



Kym:: If I had a million bucks I would pay off our car and all of our debt, I'd buy a house, and I would probably go a little crazy on frivolous things like a new wardrobe and shoes. I'd also donate a chunk to the Bulldog Club of America Rescue Network, treat my family, and then soon thereafter, I'd be stuck eating macaroni and cheese and hot dogs for the rest of my life because I'm terrible at managing money.
Sarah:: Well, now that Kym had to play the donation card.... I'm obligated to say that I would donate some to Susan G. Komen foundation. I'd like to say I'd save it, but knowing me, I'd have a new car, a new house and a crap ton of stuff from Forever 21.

Kym:: I wake up between 7-7:30am, make myself a coffee and check my email and social media accounts. I work from home as a personal assistant, and around 8am I start doing my part to make my client's worlds go round. Between 11 and 12 I do "blog stuff" then return to assisting my peeps from 12-2. My eyes are usually burning by this time so I take a break from the computer, eat lunch, run errands, remember that I have a dog, doink around, and return to work from 4-6. Around 6 I take another break, eat dinner, and keep myself busy doing pointless things. I try to mix in a run and some barre or yoga, and then return to the computer to do more "blog stuff" and work for another two hours. Wash, dry, repeat. To make a long story short, I basically sit on my butt for most of the day!

Sarah:: I wake up at 5am and go to the gym.  I wake up at 6:30 and fidget on my phone for longer than I care to admit then realize if I don't get up I'm going to have to send that awkward, "I got stuck in traffic" message to my boss. I work from 8am-5pm at a place called Tohatsu. It is a Japanese outboard motor company (like on boats) and I find myself with very little patience trying to communicate with the guys in Japan many times throughout the day. I love my job though, especially when I get to travel to beautiful locations a few times a year! After work I go workout again. I come home and work on my second job for my old company back in Tennessee and do blog stuff before passing out to do it all over again! 




Kym:: Being completely frivolous ... my iPhone, my computer and Netflix.
Sarah:: iPhone, computer, everything in this post


Kym:: I am most grateful for my family. We move around quite a bit and I've lost contact with a lot of friends in the process. It's true what they (who the hell are THEY, anyways?) say ... family will always be there!
Sarah:: Family! I totally include my two pups General and Venus as family members. Like Kym said, friends come and go, family will always be there!

What's In my Bag??

Have you seen the "What's In My Bag" posts floating around Instagram, Blog Land and Pinterest? I swear, I'm mesmerized by these posts. These girl's carry around more style and glam in their designer bag than I have in my entire closet / makeup desk / computer work space. 

I am going to take my favorite three I've found and then show you "What's In My Bag!" Spoiler alert.... I'm apparently a giant, unstylish, not-put-together hot mess... but the teacher told my mom that in second grade, so I guess we knew that was coming. 

#1 I'm impressed by... her dedication to sunglasses... 4 pairs of sunglasses, not one of them has a case... All 4 of those bad boys would be smashed to pieces if they were in my bag. 








#2 I once left a....  plum in my bag, then changed purses the next day. I forgot to take the plum out. That was a fun surprise about 8 months later when I decided to use that bag again. So I avoid putting fruit of any variety in my bag... as a general rule. 


#3 I've never been so impressed with... a purse's contents in my life. This is amazing. Where do you buy Marlboro's like that? I've never smoked before, but for a carton like that I'd sure start! How did she fit all of this in that bag? That is a NICE wad of cash you got there lady. Maybe go ahead and put that in one of the two wallets you carry around.

... and is that a tamagotchi???? 






So I've never been one to re-apply makeup, so you won't see that in my bag, I can't remember to put on perfume, let alone tote it around with me, and I don't wear lipstick, like, ever. I look like a clown. 

So, what is in my bag you ask? :)







1::: Frends Headphones
2::: A dart pass from about three months ago that is not even remotely valid
3::: A straw wrapper
4::: Dallas koozie. Koozie's are my weakness
5::: Tampons. I love how no one admits they have a period.
6::: Spare change
7::: Spare iPhone case. No clue why.
8::: Wallet (really all I need)
9::: Dramamine. So I don't vom.
10::: Fake glasses and real sunglasses. Never know when you'll need some fake glasses
11::: Car Keys
12::: I like to keep my Miranda Lambert ticket on my person
13::: Extra iphone cable that I spent $17.89 on at a gas station in Hillview, Ky
14::: Planner #1
15::: Hair tie covered in hair and stretched out past recovery
16::: iPhone. Clearly
17::: Twisted SHOTZ! Why I have a shot in my bag, I don't know.
18::: 5 million receipts. Don't even act like you don't have these piled up....
19::: Planner #2 (????)
20::: Casino frequent player card. No comment.
21::: The best pens in the world.
22::: Keys. No earthly idea what they open. They've been in my wallet for about 3 years.
23::: Airline ticket from last week. I may need that again one day.
24::: Business cards from the job I left over a year ago.
25::: IBEX press pass to a boat show that has long since passed.


Now THAT is a realistic "What's in My Bag". What kind of crap would I find if I dumped out your bag?
