Busted!

Alright people, you are all busted. ahah kidding. So yesterday I redesigned my blog as you can see. I love it and I did it myself :) I just cant believe that people pay to get their blogs designed. Maybe cause they cant figure it out themselves but seriously woah. Maybe I should design blogs and make some money lol. I cant imagine the blog designing business being a good living tho ahha. But anyway I posted on the bottom left column a "view counter" and I have 139 views in a day and a half which is interesting since I only have 8 public followers. Weirdd.... so everyone who is reading this is SO busted I have found you out! Im kidding Im glad you guys read :) it gives me a better reason to post now. So now that I know this information I need more picture ideas for 365 Im running low! help me out people.

Okay, I havent blogged about music in a while because I have been so into photography. BUT I have some AWESOME WONDERFUL AMAZING NEWS Check out my standings on ourstage.com,


WHoo! Im so thankful for everyone who has been actively voting! Keep it up :) If I win the Lilith Fair competition I get to open for Colbie Callait, Norah Jones, Sheryl Crow and many more amazing female artists in Portland Oregon! Fingers Crossed! Now that I am in the top twenty, A panel of judges including Sarah McLaughlin chooses one artist to play at Lilith as well as $2,000. If I win first place in the acoustic channel I get $100 cash and then I get entered into the Channels competition where all the number one channel winners compete for first place and an additional $5,000! So my odds are definitely good thanks to all my dedicated fans! I love you all. For anyone who hasnt voted check out my music websites on the left panel.

Other than that Im still waiting for this LONGGGGG process with MTV. My music is already copyrighted, registered, and licensed with them so I am still waiting patiently for someone to call me and tell me which show it will be on. ITS KILLING ME! ugh... shoot me now. I cannot WAIT any longer :)

Okay now for you photo lovers day thirteen is here.

I really like this picture, the reflections and the lipstick mark. What I REALLY wanted to do was use bright red lipstick but since bright red lipstick is clearly an outdated fashion and really makes my already big lips look even bigger, I dont have any. So I settled for nude/pink tint lip gloss and I think it turned out alright. Speaking of nude lipstick gosh i really dont like it. I dont think it looks good on anyone lol why do people like that? Also, another fashion mishap that I HATE, I honestly hate when brunettes go blonde. Nobody looks better blonde. Its a fact. Well according to a Hollywood E special and according to my opinion anyways haha :) Hugh hefener really fucks over all those playboy bunnies with his preference for platinum blonde hair. Come on people..... haha Alright that was my random rant for the day.

Chao!

Testing.....

Made a new signature :) just testing it out.


Sweet Blog

Its Mondayyyy..... We had SO MUCH fun this weekend! Friday night we stayed in and snuggled and watched movies. Love nights like that :) Earlier in the day Brittany being the wonderful friend she is came over and her and I went out and got Sushi (My ultimate fave) and Hibatchi for us and matthew and the kids for dinner yummm. Saturday we had our neighbors Chris and Amy whom I absolutely love, and some other girls come over for drinks! We went out to the club and danced the night away. Discovered a New drink called a "Mind Eraser" had one too many of those and now I know why they are called mind erasers haha. While we were at the bar some guy came up behind me and rubbed my shoulders so I flipped out on him and told him not to touch me! Matt came up to him and said you better buy us a drink NOW lol. The guy ran off. Then when we were leaving the bar he proceeded to walk up to the car we were in and talk shit to me. I rolled down the window and the guy says "you arent married you liar! Who are you going home with tonight?" I showed him my husband who was sitting in the back seat with me, and I showed him my ring. He for some reason didnt believe me still ahah and said "wheres your wedding band" after I JUST showed him my ring. By then he was standing RIGHT next to the car so I said "Right here" and Gave him a NICE right hook to the face. ahahha. He rubber necked it and the driver heard the punch and at the exact right moment stomped on the gas and we were gone. I guess it was a good punch cause everyone in the car heard my fist hitting his face lol and my knuckles were bruised the next day. Maybe he shouldn't put his dirty hands on me and try to talk me into going home with him bahahha! So that was the highlight of my weekend.

Other than that I got some good pictures :) Day Ten


Matthew and I discovered that there are railroad tracks within walking distance of our house. I absolutely love the sound of the trains going by at night when I am in bed. So we decided to Get some beer and sit down by the railroad tracks and go "Penny Squishing" for our first time ever and wait for the train to come. It was so romantic and fun :) The train came and the conductor honked for us when we gave him the signal that you would usually give passing Semi trucks. We walked down the tracks about a mile and went exploring too. I loved it. Now Im trying to think of some other things I can squish on the railroad haha.

Day Eleven



I really like this picture :) I have never seen a flower like this before but its HUGE. Matthew picked it for me and its the biggest flower anyone has ever given me haha. It smells really good. The title of this picture is Squiggly flower. Does anyone know what kind of flower this is anyway?

Day Twelve


My one and only baby :) Koa which means "The Brave One" in Hawaiian. He is so adorable. SUCH a good dog. I Wish I could figure out how to upload videos on here because I have the cutest video of him doing all his tricks. Sit, speak, shake, roll over, and play dead. Hes so smart! ahh i love him.

So that is me catching up in the blog world. ALSO I received my first blogger award! The "Sweet Blog" award :) 




From Trisha @ Pretty Pink Pearl 
Shes super sweet and her blog is so cool too :)
I had no idea that she loved my blog haha. 
She likes my music and is hooked on my
365 project. Follow her!

I guess I am supposed to pass this award on as well so I would like to pass it on to 

Her blog is sweet hence the sweet blog award lol
she always posts sweet pictures and I especially like the note she left for her husband as a hint to what to get for her for her birthday hehe. 

and my good friend Brittany @ To Give them beauty for ashes
She wrote a couple blogs that are to her children and I LOVE the idea I think its so cute! That way some day they can read them if they want. 

So those are the only sweet bloggers that I know that post blogs regularly. I would give one to trisha but she already gave me one haha. 

Everyone has sweet blog names but I just stuck with "Victoria's Blog" ahah reallll original.... oh well :) 

I found another photo client this weekend too! Woooo! My business will be up and running in no time. yay! I KNOW I will take great pictures and the thought that the pictures that I take will be in their lives for years to come is so amazing. I love that I will be able to capture moments and give them to people who will cherish them forever. 

Anyway.... Hubby should be home soon. 

A Hui Hou! (Until we meet agian in hawaiian)

Trailer Park Princess

Day Nine


I love day nine :) titled "Love soup" has definitely cured me :) well kinda but not really. still feeling sick but finally feeling more so better than worse. "A spoon does not know the taste of soup, nor a learned fool the taste of wisdom.” is the quote to go with that. I like it too. 


Thursday Things came after Wardrobe Wednesday in mine and Ashley's "days of the week" project. And so I decided to make it Things I never leave the house without. Purse, keys, cellphone, camera, and sunglasses. I like it! i feel accomplished. Speaking of accomplishments,

Today I realized that I managed to turn 21 without getting an MIP after being in college AND partying in more bars in more states than I can count lol.... wow I am counting that as an accomplishment. <3 seriously.... 

Other than that, another good day :) Oh and I finally joined the FRG today. wooo! go SF Wives! We shall see how that pans out. Alot of them are really sweet and loved my singing when I played music in front of the ENTIRE SF community on a marriage retreat. It was fun I need to get in touch with some more army wives around here and get my photography business up and running. On a random note I definately ordered Army Wives Season 1 on Netflix and my husband was pissed when he got home and found out ahaha he was only mad because he was expecting to get a movie but I sneaked it into our que. NOT making him watch it with me but def watching it while hes at work hehe. I better send that back soon tho. I think ill do some yoga when I wake up. I have been thinking about how nice it is to have a warm drink in the morning such as coffee to wake up to but I really am not a coffee drinker. Actually neither is my husband we dont even own a coffee pot. I think I just like the idea of it haha. Ive been drinking alot of tea lately thats nice in the morning :) 

oh yeah quote of the week. so I was standing by the pantry trying to stare into it and make something delicious to eat appear. While I was standing there I had one foot up on top of a 12 pack of beer, just resting there for no reason. And one of my hands resting down the front of my pants (not touching myself lol) just resting in the waist band of my pj's and my husband comes around the corner and says "Hunny, you dont have to act like you live in a trailer anymore" ahahahah hilarious that was a good laugh. Story behind it is I actually grew up in a trailer park good ole "high pines camp ground" in a single wide. Lived there loud and proud for 7 years. (and im not kidding about the loud part) There was an ongoing joke that I was a "trailer park princess" in my family because I was nominated princess for school dances on several occasions (prom, winterball etc) ahah ohhhh the memories. gotta love it lol. Hes told me before that when I get famous ill be right up there with Kid rock bahaha. Hey it could happen. Hilary Swank is from a trailer park too. I wonder if she lived in a single wide or if she had one of those fancy double wides with the toilet flower pot in the front yard right next to the flamingos. Welp you know what they say, you can take the girl out of the trailer park but you cant take the trailer park out of the girl ;)


anywho, off to bed its snuggle time. my favorite time <3 


ps. to the bloggers that I follow, you need to post more blogs. :) Entertain me will you? oh ya and add my flickr too :).

Photo adventures

Alright blog world, its been a couple days. So much to share so many new pictures! Loving life! I tried to pick up my guitar and jam today but my face is stuffed up and feels like there is an elephant sitting on it so I definitely sounded like a muppet when I sang. So I decided to go on some photo adventures. I always take my puppy koa with me he loves our adventures :) Anyway here are days seven and eight!


This froggie is small enough to fit on a penny! how cool is that? hes so cute and I LOVE the water droplets in this. absolutely adorable.

Day eight is a little more fun and different. I realized i havent done a self portrait yet in the 365 series so here goes it



haha! I like this pic. Its so me. On facebook and flickr I have been putting down a quote i like for each day. Today's is by far my favorite

“Why is it that men can be bastards and women must wear pearls and smile?”

Lynn Hecht Schafren
