What’s New

February 18, 2008

1. While I am a frugal person 95% of the time, there are days when I throw caution to the wind and spend like there’s no tomorrow. Unfortunately, these days seem to piggy-back on each other and I end up going a little crazy all in one (or two) weeks. This happened the last 2 weeks and I am now the proud owner of a Wii (2nd one) and 2 pairs of shoes (both pairs “needed” as I have tired of untying my shoes at the airport security gate each week). Hopefully, the spending bug is gone and I can return to normal.

2. Just got back from Oklahoma where I spent the weekend celebrating Valentine’s Day. Calm down people. It was my sister’s birthday. She is still 6 years and 6 weeks older than me.

3. Reached a personal best in bench press tonight. Probably not the best thing to try when you are the only one in the hotel gym at the time.

4. Thought about whether or not I would die if I were to drop a dumbbell on my head due to it being to heavy, or me losing a grip on it. (I’m not suicidal – I just think about random horror things happening to me due to being alone in a gym while lifting weights, which normally isn’t a problem since I’m so weak and can’t lift much more than my 6 year-old niece)

5. Changed my opinion on what my 3 superpowers would be. #1 – Flying/teleportation. #2 – Ability to stop time. #3 (New) – The DTR superpower – I would be able to “Determine The Relationship” with anyone I met so that I would never have to waste my time wondering they like me and if there is a chance for anything beyond friendship. This combination will now allow me to fly to Australia, meet someone and then play a practical joke on them if they are not my soul mate (by stopping time and messing up their hair).

6. I want to go to Las Vegas at the end of March. I need someone to go with. Fun times will be had by all.

7. View from the Hotel Room – Week 11. I’m going to show this picture I took this afternoon to the hotel with the hope they love it and want to pay me tons of money to use in an ad campaign.

View from the Hotel Room – Week 8

January 30, 2008

2 months? I’ve been here 2 months?!?

Craziness.

What’s also crazy is that tonight some guy was watching me take pictures on my balcony, so I decided to take pictures of him. Take that buddy boy!

First, the good view:

Second, the kind of creepy view:

View from the Hotel Room – Week 5

January 10, 2008

This last week was a pretty nice view. Though hearing the trains come and go every so often wasn’t so great. You’d think being on the 13th floor and in a nice hotel, it would be a little more soundproof.

The Evil Eye

December 14, 2007

This past Easter, my niece was captured giving the “evil eye”.


Very cute.

That picture, however, does not compare to this video.

Greatest. Tattoo. Ever.

November 15, 2007

Seriously… this has to be one of the coolest tattoo’s I have ever seen.

A connect-the-dots tattoo of a giraffe toy this woman lost as a child.

Here’s the story behind it. Here are more pictures.

Congratulations

August 16, 2007

My sister’s engagement is worth breaking the blogging silence.

Congratulations Mary and Duane!!! (I wish I had more pictures of you so that I didn’t have to illegally steal from the place you got these taken)

Hair

May 9, 2007

Last night I was talking with my Grandma. Things were going well until she paused and said, “I have been thinking about something and need to tell you.”

Nothing could have prepared me for what she would say next.

“I don’t like your facial hair. I think you look better without it.”

Alrighty. Good to know Grandma. I then told her that I had news of my own.

Nothing could have prepared her for what I would say next.

“Grandma, I started growing out my hair and now I have a beard.”

Now, my Grandma is 96 years old. I was seriously endangering her health by telling her this factoid, but I felt it was my duty as her favorite grandchild (yes, grandchild, not grandson – take that Anna and Mary!) to be honest with her. Plus… I’m surprising her by flying home to Colorado, and it’s best to cut down on the shock.

So… I submit to you 4 photos and ask for your opinion: beard, goatee, or naked face?
