The new bedroom setup

It felt like moving day all over again

Adventures in San Diego

When I have recovered from this past weekend in San Diego I will post some pictures. Please note it is Wednesday and I'm still recovering. Tim and I have now developed a nice little pair of colds as a lovely parting gift. Lucky us!

Gasp, Gasp. I'm coming up for air.

I'm alive. Still breathing. Don't worry.
Only 1 more week til Disneyland.
I can smell the Churros already.

Zack and Miri

Tim and I went to see Zack and Miri Make a Porno today. I love Kevin Smith and I have for a long time. Whenever Tim and I can't figure out what to watch, we always turn to Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Classic. Kevin Smith is cool guy because I think that if Tim and I were around him we would be friends with him. He loves Star Wars and all things geeky. Just like us. He's sarcastic, rude, vulgar and very perverted but somehow he always manages to turn all that into an entertaining couple of hours. I do see what all the controversy was about with the initial NC-17 rating. Yes, there is a lot of sex in the movie and quite graphic at that. Boobs and penises run amok. And there is 1 scene with poop. However, it's actually a very nice little story that I think we can all relate to (minus the wanting to make porn because you can't pay your bills). So overall, I think that Kevin Smith has done a good job with his latest adventure. Supposedly he is making a low budget horror movie next (boo) but I'm looking forward to whatever else comes next from this man. Oh, the clip is NSFW but I think it proves why I really like this man.

Booked!

Our vacation is booked. 2 days at Disney in December. We're going Thursday, Friday and then coming home Saturday. It'll be a nice change to go mid week (not as busy) and also we'll have Saturday night and all of Sunday to sleep and recover from all the churros and whatnots.  I'm looking forward to that fake snow too! Woot! I can already hear the fireworks song in my head (plus the spanish translation for laughs) =)

new do

I got my hair cut yesterday. About 1 1/2 inches. I'm glad. It looks nice. 

Sharks are winning against Detroit. Sweet.

Is it the weekend yet? Can you tell my brain is gone? I can only write in short sentences.

Off to the bath before bed. Yay!

Spartans vs. Boise

Slacking.....again!

Yes yes, I've been slacking again with posting. I have made a few attempts to mobile blog with pics but it always seems to hang up and never goes through so I usually just quit. Anyway, we're in the middle of Heroes which has quickly turned from an awesome show into somewhat of a Lost fiasco. (Sorry Tim).  So far the best shows on this fall are: Chuck, How I met your Mother and The Big Bang Theory. I also can't wait for 30 Rock to come back because, contrary to what Lorne Michaels thinks, lots of people watch that show. It's probably the best comedy on tv since Arrested Development (Oh snap I went there). If you aren't watching 30 Rock, you should set your Tivo now. It's worth your time. Plus, what else you gonna watch? =)

The beginnings of our French cooking class. Good start!

TGIF

Happy Friday everyone (almost). I'm taking a test this weekend for further certification in my work so keep your fingers crossed that I pass. I haven't even started studying yet, but I have a bit of time tomorrow so hopefully I'll get some studying in then. I may even take it to the gym with me so I can study while I work out. So again, keep those fingers crossed! =)

Property tax bill has arrived

Rough week at work

No weekend to relax due to Seminar/re-licensing

Yes I know it could be much worse. My house could be under water or I could have lost my job due to the stock market crashing. But sometimes you just want to wallow in your own sadness. Maybe some filth too. 

Burn Baby

So I got a tad bit of sun yesterday at the game. I am a champion of sunblock but somehow missed my chest and a few pieces on my shoulders. I also have a nice stripe across the top of my head near my hairline. Fortunately, I have good makeup and most people couldn't tell that I was burned. I'm just now starting to feel that tight, hot, itchy feeling across my chest so I'll be keeping a cool ice pack on me later on. =) A cool shower is also in order I think. Unfortunately, our bathroom has been invaded by ants so I need to corral that tonight as well. Happy Monday everyone. Only 4 more days til Friday!

Good evening party people

Hello world. Sorry for my absence. So many things happening, so many naps to be had. I hope everyone had a great Labor Day vacay. Tim and I went to see Tropic Thunder. It was pretty funny and just solidified my love for Robert Downey Jr. 

The one good thing about holidays that occur during the week mean that the rest of the week is short. Today was a crazy busy day but I still managed to get a lot of paperwork done. I just plugged in my headphones and blocked out the rest of the office. Now mind you, my dad was kind enough to buy me a really nice in-ear pair of headphones with noise canceling (not Bose, so Tim approves). Once you put them in, you really can't hear anything. I heart them.

Today also marks my first day back to the gym in about 2 weeks. It felt great to slog it out against the elliptical machine again. I'm looking forward to getting in a few more workouts this week before the weekend rolls around again. 

Birthday baseball! Love u Bee!

Why?

Why is it that you spend so much of your younger years trying not to get pregnant and then when you want it so bad it doesn't happen? 

The recap....

A quick recap of the Vegas trip:

We arrived on Friday afternoon after a great flight with US Airways. I highly recommend them! We got to Caesar's and checked in. After situating ourselves in our rooms, we went over to Margaritaville on the strip. What an experience. We managed to snag ourselves a table by the bar and got our tower of drink (See picture below) and some snacks! Little did we know that this was going to be the rowdiest party around. At one point a girl goes sliding down a water slide into a giant plastic jug of water shaped like a blender splashing water all over the crowd. It was nuts but so much fun. Then, we walked around a bit and gambled some over at the Mirage before hitting the hay. Saturday we cabbed it over to the Wynn. I had never been to that hotel before. The Wynn is absolutely stunning and I hope to be able to stay there sometime, although, I think it might be a bit out of my price range. Although, Tim was a big winner on the slots there. After the Wynn, we walked back through the Palazzo (new as well) and through the Venetian. We went on the gondolas with my aunt and uncle as they really wanted to try them out. After the Venetian we went back to Caesar's and shopped a bit. We then went down to Mandalay Bay to the House of Blues for a snack and drink before going to see Mamma Mia! After seeing the movie, I didn't know what to expect. However, the show is exactly the same as the movie. Great music, great show! After the show, we went and had dinner at the Rum Jungle club at Mandalay. It's a Brazilian steakhouse and the food was delicious! After the steaks, we went back to Caesar's and gambled a bit more and listened to the DJ at the Shadow Bar. Before we knew it is was past midnight and we were pooped. Full of good food and drink, we rolled into bed. Oh yes, all this talk of bed reminds me of something I forgot to report. We were in the cheaper tower at Caesar's to begin with, however, my parents had some people come into their room at midnight on Friday (people who had been given a key to that room, not robbers or anything) and so my mum insisted that we all get moved into a nicer tower. We wound up getting put into the Augustus tower which was a nice treat for us all. Overall, the trip was a great success and my relatives had a really good time. I'm glad they got to experience a little slice of surreality while they were here in the US.

My husband is a big winner!
