Carbs, Calories, and Corn Syrup

Yesterday we celebrated the "White Trash" side in all of us. I am always telling Christian I LOVE the white trash side of me, where he has very little white trash to offer (I know and he is from Show Low). Christian is much more high brow than me, lets just be honest about that (although you couldn't tell from the picture below), he loves the arts, fancy words, talking politics, reading academic books, and couldn't think of a better place to live than Cambridge, MA. I however, really love demolition derbies, county and state fairs, watching dumb movies, walking around in sweat pants, eating mac and cheese, and all the simple things in life.
So we celebrated our inner side that often doesn't come out in the form of a small gathering in our backyard this weekend.

This may be going on our Family Christmas Card this year. What a cute family!

Yes, Berkeley does have a tattoo of a skeleton on his arm, but isn't that what most white trash mothers would do for their sons? He looked awesome in his muscle shirt and Harley doo-rag.

The weekend before the party, I had a little get together with some co-workers and I was able to bedazzle the butt of my pants for the special occasion.

Annekristen and Norbert are from Germany, so they are not quite as familiar with "American White Trash" but I think they did a great job! They looked awesome!

Michael, Danielle, and Lilly all looked great, Danielle is from Texas so she was happy to let this side of her shine as well.

Jason and Raini drove straight from KY to be with us for this special event.

Kate has always been "Queen of the Whole Universe" but at least at the party she could let everyone know!

Bonnie, you look great, but what is up with your husband's costume? Patrick, even though we all know you are white trash most of the time, you could have tried to dress differently than you do on a daily basis.

K-Fed showed up and brought his new Britney, she had dumps like a truck, truck, truck. K-Fed ended up winning the award for "Best Drest" male.

Oh Aida and Freddie, how you made my day! Let me just tell you about these two: They are not from America and did not know what a "White Trash Party" was, they thought dressed up meant a nice dress and a shirt and tie. Gloria told me she felt like a bad person trying to explain to her what exactly white trash was. When Aida told her 20 year old son about that party, he told her she must be reading the invite wrong, because he had been to white trash parties before but he was pretty sure her co-worker would not be having a party like that. Hey! Social Workers need to laugh at the world too! So funny, so her son helped these guys get dressed! For not knowing what White Trash was, they pulled it off pretty well. They were on my "HOT TAMALE TRAIN!" They even brought KFC and Budweiser.
AMAZING!

The Lesbian white trash babes were hot, that is all I have to say!

One of the high lights of the party was the contest called:
"Who can stuff the most cheese puffs in their mouth?"

Julie was close with 14 cheeze balls

Gloria was the winner, with 15 cheeze balls in her mouth. I doubted her ability; I just didn't think her mouth was that big, but she proved me wrong. Way to go girl!

Here are my co-workers! What a fun group of people I get to work with, hopefully this photo doesn't make its way into the office. We look HOT!

I was pretty proud of my trophie for "Best Eats" that was awarded to Julie for her Chili Mac with Dinosaur shaped noodles. Mmmmmm.....

I thought serving chicken over cheese puffs was pretty creative as well. We also had hot dogs served on white bread, Velveeta Cheese Dip (I love Velveeta), Jerky on a platter with toothpicks, pork and beans with hot dog chunks, left over pizza from the day before, spaghetti-Ohs, and of coarse, Sam's Choice Soda.

I thoroughly enjoyed celebrating my inner White Trash; I hope all of you take time to do the same this summer.

I'm bringing sexy back.
