Donde esta?

Donde esta mi familia?? Padre? Necessito buscar par ti!

My spanish is very rusty so I thought I would test it out! Hopefully I said that right, let me know if not! Lol! Anyway, wanted to say HI!

I want to encourage everyone in work out activites! :) Specifically we need to motivate Troy to work out!! Because if he wants to get in shape for hockey he needs to work on it now! Lol!

Yay for soccer starting again this week! And I jsut want to say that pilates kicks some serious ass man! I could barely move my abs the next day! And crazy psycho pilates instructor was like teaching advanced stuff! She's like ok next move is we are going to balance on the ball... on your knees and then lift weights. I started laughing like are you crazy lady?? Yes, I still balanced for like 10 seconds and then about broke my face falling off! :) And how was your week?? :)

Look what I found.....

Ummm, this is my new favorite band.

Actually, one the bands members is Mark's buddy from high school. We saw him and his wife when we went to the reunion in Texas two weeks ago. It was stinking hot. Here are some pictures from the trip.

Oh, and Troy did you ever check out Bat Lord? http://www.batlord.com/

I reccomend the song Undertaker.

Crash

Anyone seen this movie? I just watched it, and was quite impressed. I wasn't expecting too much (I didn't really know much about the plot), but it was really well done. It's about racial tension & biases in LA. If anyone else has seen it, I'd like to hear your opinions.

Happy Saturday night all!

Well hello everyone! It is a lovely Saturday night here in Utah! I am currently sitting with 'Crazy Elbows' (which reminds me of Crazy Eyes in Mr. Deeds, but anyways...) watching Dexter. I would like to introduce you to another addictive TV series. It is called Dexter and originally was aired on Showtime. Anyway, it is a must watch, or at least ya gotta try it on for size! I now have Troy addicted! :) It is about this guy who is a serial killer, because he was born to be one, but he uses it for good instead of evil. He only kills the people that deserve to be killed, because they have escaped the law system. Great show! Great music to it as well.

So on the movie update, I watched Tropic Thunder last night. That show was freaking hilarious! It is a must see!! Ben Stiller is hilarious in the movie, and I was shocked to see Tom Cruise in the movie! It was literally in the last minutes of the movie that Mike was like, hey isn't that Tom Cruise. I was like noooo way because it isn't a role that he would usually play at all nor did it look like him at all, but he did a damn good job at it! It was hilarious! On tomorrow's schedule is The Mummy,so we will let ya know how that goes!

Lastly I would like to say I spent $135.00 on a calculator. It is one of those fancy graphing calculators which does stuff for physics, chemistry and biology not to mention all the math stuff. The best part of the calculator though is that it is PINK! :) Just saying... math is always more fun when it comes in colors!

Working for the Weekend

Hey Everybody! So nothing much to report on my end. Just that I am completely overloaded at work (hmmm, must be since I am sitting here blogging!) At both these clinics, when you take time off, YOU take time off. But that doesn't mean that crazy takes time off. Nope, the work just piles up until you get back. So having 80 emails and a mailbox crammed with stuff is pretty typical when one leaves for a week! So I am still playing catch-up, but I am sure that this information is highly boring to you readers, so let's move forward!

A week from today I will be at JACK JOHNSON!!! Woohoo! I am excited but marginally concerned. For some reason, ticketmaster decided to sell all the tickets to this concert as general admission. So you are assigned a section like (orchestra, terrance, etc.) but you have no assigned seat in this area. Yikes! Once again, I will be fighting the 20-somethings to get my seat. It should be an awesome show cause well, hello, it's Jack Johnson, and I am going with like 10 friends, and it's on a Friday, and it's Jack Johnson! Can you tell, I am excited?

Then a little less than a month from now, I am going to see my most favoritest band of all time. Counting Crows!!! I have awesome seats (yeah, my bank account can vouch for that!) and I cannot wait to see my next husband, Adam Duritz! Not to mention they are also playing with Augustana and Maroon 5 which I happen to love both of them as well! So it should be quite a whirlwind of music. I kind of made an impromptu New Year's resolution for myself this year to see more live shows! And it has definitely panned out for me! Paramore last month was great! Anyone seen anyone good?? I think I might quit my job, get a job at Starbuck's, sling coffee for a living, sleep on the beach and go to shows in my spare time. Or maybe I am just having a midlife change of plans....Anyone with me?? LOL Happy Friday! :)

I Must say...

I am so very excited that tomorrow is Friday! Yay! This week has seemed to drag on and on! Anyone have any fun plans this weekend? I will be going out tomorrow for a small hang out, and for Saturday, a pedicure and full set is on the menu as well as text book shopping. Woohoo! Love spending $200 on text books... :)

Some good news... I got my blood drawn today and my Trigs were in the 200's finally! Like 223 or something!! HIP HIP HOORAY! Loving that the Libofen is working well! I also got my thyroid tested again ( I was on medicine for it, and then went off because they thought it was working again.). Unfortunately it was twice what it should have been so it is back on the meds, but the good news is that maybe I won't be so dang tired!

Lastly, I want to share that I went to the gym today all by my lonesome. I have a hard time motivating myself to go when no one is coming with me, I usually have like 3 different co-workers that go with me. However, I went and I did 3.5 miles on the elliptical! Yay! :)

Going in for the kill.....

So besides being the Queen of Rats, I am going in tomorrow to get this shot in my spine. Am I looking forward to it? No. Will it hurt? Probably. Will I feel better afterwards? I hope so.
Meanwhile, Mark is at some lake with his friends partying it up for his "out of town" bachelor party. Boating, drinking and $90.00 of red meat says goodbye to singleton, I think.
Hope all is well with everyone.

Back from the sand pile!

Aloha Everyone!!! How is everyone doing? Wow Troy you did a fabulous job on this blog!! Looks awesome!! So Hawaii was nice. The wedding was a little odd, very unorganized and not what I expected it to be, but nonetheless, it was a wedding!! Somehow, I got roped into being the videographer, so I basically watched the whole ceremony through a video screen!! Hahaha. But I did have a fabulous time snorkeling! Diving off the boat into the water there is awesome because the water is about 72 degrees so your system isn't shocked at all. I snorkeled for about an hour and swam. Then I took the guided snorkel tour. It's really cool! You have a guide that swims you way out and points out a bunch of sea life and different cool things to look at in the middle of the ocean. And you will all be proud to know, out of the 10 people in our group, I was the only one that was able to hang and finish the complete snorkel tour. Everyone else had to swim back to the boat early because they were tired. It's an intense thing because you have to swim and keep up with the tour or else you will miss things!! Picture me returning to the boat with snokel mask, fins, etc. and everyone else is eating and drinking mai tais!!! And I am like "where the heck did you all go??" It was quite funny but every enjoyable!!! We stayed at a really nice hotel and i actually was able to use the fitness center while I was there (for free) so it turned out to be quite comfortable for me!

I did purchase something called a gizmo for my ipod. It's a really cool adhesive cover type thing. Maybe I can post a picutre of it so you all can see it! :) Even though the trip was nice, it is good to be home. I get a little antsy being trapped on an island!! LOL

Troy, the band you are thinking of is Langhorne Slim. They are so awesome, and I was actually one barstool away from Mr. Slim at the Troubadour in LA. A few of their songs I really like "Oh Honey" "English Tea" "Hummingbird" "Electric Love Letter" "Restless" "Worries" "In the Midnight." He is kind of folk and rock, and alternative all rolled into one. They are one of my friends on myspace, so check them out! :)

Hope to chat with you all soon! Back at work today, so really playing catch-up! :)

New Car

So with my latest car problem (I've put more money into the car than what I paid for it), I've decided I'm going to buy a new car (not necessarily an '08 or an '09, but something that was made within the last 10 years unlike my current car). So, I wanted to see if you guys had any insight (particularly Jill) as to what cars hold up (physically as well as monetarily) and who might have better service departments, better deals typically, and all that good stuff.

The only real requirement I have is some sort of four wheel drive, I really don't want to drive around in the snow without it again.

Some of the models I've looked at (internet only) are 4 runners, fj cruisers, wranglers, elements, outlanders and endeavors. I'd prefer a smaller (compact) suv if possible, I don't really want to be driving a cherokee or something around.

Anyway, thanks for the help!

Trace Atkins who?

Well I went to the fair last night and saw Trace Atkins. I was thoroughly disappointed. The acoustics were bad and the stage lighting was not good. Where was Mark when we needed him. You couldn't understand a word TA was saying much less singing. Speaking of singing, I was suprised. He really can't sing. Oh well the food was ok, except expensive. You remember the giant sausage sandwich at th OC fair for $8, well the one I had at the Ventura fair was about 1/4 the size and it was $9. Way over the top. Oh well such is life.

Cars Are Fun

Yeah so I guess it was my turn today. Got up to go to work, car doesn't start. I believe it's either the battery or the starter (probably the starter). HURRAY. Other than that, got my classes sorted out. Another hurray :( Ah well, such is life, eh?

Crest?

The crest is just an attempt at putting a picture on the blog. What is all this intervention crap. Traci you need to slow down a bit. You too Jill. Where's Troy? No messages from Lane? I'm going tonight to see Trace Atkins at the Ventura fair and I'll be dancing there on Sunday. Troy that firefox you put up on my computer at home works great except I can't retrieve my e-mails anymore. It says that it can't find my earthlink tool bar program. Guess i'll have to download it from earthlink. Not much going on here, but I do miss you all.
Dad

Not much...

Not much is too new around my corner of the world. Troy got to witness the emotional castrating that I have done to Tyler. That was a barrel of laughs tonight... uh had a great weekend this weekend! Involved some drinking and poker with the family on Sunday night. Fabulous date on Saturday for most of the day/ afternoon. Saw the movie Step Brothers. So hilarious! I was laughing pretty much all movie long it was great! I kept asking if that was really something that guys did! Anyway it is very hilarious, in a crude way. Definitely worth seeing! Also got a behind the scenes look at the new soccer stadium they are building here. Very, very cool! It is going to be way nice! I even conquered my fear of heights by going on the catwalk that is on the roof. Scary but still very fun indeed.

Other than that I am in the semi finals tomorrow with my soccer team, if we win we play for the finals tomorrow as a double header. Should be a fun night. Funeral for Troy and I to go to on Thursday, and then possibly some fishing for me afterwards. Working this weekend and I am hoping some rafting Saturday afternoon since the rest of the family is ditching me for the weekend! Oh how I wish I was 21 already! :)

Intervention?

Holy crap, you guys are hooked on Intervention. I blame, Lanie. Currently watching the Breakfast Club for the 1000th time. Freakin' love that movie. All is well, Mark is Boone, Iowa doing a farm show. Yes, a farm show. I hope to have pictures soon.
Doctor says that I need to have a cortozone shot in my spine between C5 and C6. They basically stick a long needle in my neck and shoot this crap directly into my spine. Good times right.
Uh, what is with the crest?

Hello yourself

Hello everyone. Dad is here. I am very new to this stuff so it will take me a while to learn how to do this. I am having to use my computer at work because I can't get the e-mail working at home.
I would like to post some pictures but I don,t know how yet. I just tried to do an image. Don't know whether it will work or not.
Lane, didn't know you were going to go to Hawaii. Wonderful stuff. Where's Jill? Troy, looks like you did another great jobon the blog.
Dad

Hola!

Where is everyone else yet? No one else wants to join the party?? New pics will be on my picasa tonight in case anyone wants to check it out!!

Lanie, I hope that you have a safe trip to Hawaii tomorrow! Think about me while you are on the beach! Wish I could be there too! :)

Jill, I am excited for the upcoming event!! :)

Dad, are you going to blog yet? All your children are on here!

Troy, you're sitting next to me and we are going to go watch an Intervention! Woohoo! Don't forget to put the top on the alcohol shaker! :)

For everyone, I copied the pictures today so presents for everyone soon! :)
