Back from Florida

Well just flew back from Florida and boy are my arms tired. hardy har har.. actually I got back yesterday. Mom and I went there to get away for a few days starting on my birthday July 9th-July 13th. It was a great trip the first day we didn't to a lot cause we were tired from getting up at 4AM and flying there we went out to dinner at a place called th Boston Lobster house (or something like that) The next day we went to Universal studios all day and it was lots of fun from the cute ET ride to the to much for Mom Mummy ride it was fun.

We went to see the BlueMan group at Universal Studios and let me tell you that is a crazy show it's like nothing I've ever seen before, but it was great definitely go see it if you get the chance in Vegas or wherever. After the show we went and ate at Bubba Gumps we have that here to in MN, but thier Coconut shrimp is delicious so had to go there. The next day in Florida we went to The Beach YAY it was awesome it was a beach called Caledesi island it was literally an island we went to a place in clearwater Florida called Honey Moon Beach State Park from there we took a ferry out to the island on the way out we saw Dolphins in the water and the boat stopped so everyone could get a look so that was great here's a video kinda shaky, but cool to see


The beach itself was just gorgeous white sandy beaches and tons of shells to pick from

Also while we were there Dolphins were jumping out of the water just beyond the barriers and everyone on the beach stopped to watch it was definitely awesome to see wild dolphins. The next day we saw dolphins again only this time they were at Sea World

SeaWorld was great it's very neat to see all the animals from seal ions and Dolphins to Shamu it's great

It was an awesome trip overall I got a sun tan and some relaxation Florida is definitely a good place to visit. Next time I go though I think I'm gonna go back to the Florida Keys just because I haven't been there before. next up a trip to Kentucky for the big family reunion down at Uncle Jeffs house in September!!

Dreams

Last night I had a weird dream I actually thought it was kind of funny so I thought I'd share it with the one or two people who read my blog. Last night I dreamt that I needed a part time job (in addition to my regular job), So I got a Part time job at Mrs. Fields cookies. (wait I think I already did that in real life) anyway I got the job and in the dream to I had worked there in high school just like in real life. I have today off of work because I have to work Saturday, but in my dream I had to get up to be to Mrs. Fields today at 8:00AM so I get there and the store is not open the gate is down and no one is there now it's my first day back in over 10 years, but somehow I still have a key so I unlock the gate (it actually doesn't have a gate in real life) I digress I go in and freak out because when you open the store you have to be there 2 hours beforehand to bake all the cookies so I rush to the freezer to get the dough and there are barely any frozen cookies left and only 2 different kinds so I pulled them out and was rushing to get them in the oven. ah, but then I woke up so I don't know what happened next. hmm I wonder what this dream means anyone care to dissect it Lol just kidding.

something new

ok so I was watching TV! tonight and I saw this add of this little boy playing baseball saying I'm the greatest batter in the world. I'm the greatest batter in the world and he in fact wasn't, but after the third attempt and he didn't make it he stopped and thought for a minute and said I'm the greatest Pitcher in the world and got a big smile on his face then the message came on the screen optimism pass it on. I thought it was kinda cute, kinda odd. it said brought to you by the foundation for a better life. I was curious so I went online and looked it up. and what I found was this website full of all this positive stuff and since this is the direction I've kind of been moving in being more positive and trying to live to the fullest reading the secret listening to louise hayes kinda deal this fit right in and since there message is pass it on. I thought I would since I found this site they have so much positive stuff on there and such good messages for society in whole. as cheesy as it may be check it out maybe I'm in an odd mood or something, but I'm on the positive vibe so here's a link Foundation for a better life

TV is my Friend

I love TV I'm making a vow to watch more TV I don't watch it near enough. I need more TV

Vision World

Finally a new post well really not much new to say I'm back from Vegas for a few weeks now actually and it was an interesting trip to say the least, but I won't get into to much of it the best parts of the trip were Terry Fator (the guy who won Americas got talent last summer the ventriloquist) he was very good. the last night we were there we went to see Bette Midler and she was great to see in concert. I didn't win anything while I was there, but oh well there's always next time right ;) the last day I was there I started to feel sick got home around 11:00PM on the 27th and then got up at 5AM to go to work the next day and I felt awful all day luckily I got to leave work a little early, but that night I had a temp of 102.9f it was not fun so I called in sick on Friday and laid in bed for the next 3 days. that's the sickest I've been in a really long time and now here I am 2 weeks later and I've still got a bit of a cough from it. oh and the Wednesday before we left I went to Vision World to get some new classes because for one thing my insurance is accepted there and their website says that some locations have your glasses ready in an hour. great I thought I'll go pick them out and have them by Vegas. nope didn't happen I picked out 2 pairs that I liked and they said they'll be ready in 10 days ok I was hoping for one hour, but 10 days is fairly reasonable so I go to Vegas assuming my glasses will be ready shortly after I return nope 10 days past and then 2 weeks nothing I called a couple times and they say there is a hold up at the lab finally about 2 1/2 weeks later they call and one of the 2 pairs is ready great finally so I pick them up take them home first time I go to clean them the lens almost pops out argh. I figured I would bring them back in when my other glasses came in the following Monday do you think my glasses came in the following Monday nope they came in today 3 weeks and 1 day later just went and picked them up tonight. I'm still not sure what the hold up is, but I have them now so that's all that matters , but I don't recommend Vision World at least not for speedy service anyway besides that exciting story I'm looking forward to going to see Jersey boys Next weekend and having this weekend off of work sleep is good :) well not much else to report I''ll post more when there is :)

Here's a post

well you know what it's been awhile since my last post, but really the reason I don't blog enough is because my llife isn't that exciting I work I sleep I go back to work I watch a little TV that's about it. this week I worked overtime so I was barely home at all which is stinky, but the money is nice and I'm gonna use it to pay off some bills I will be debt free and financially secure this year despite the economy I'm sticking to my guns on this and it will happen mark my words. oh also what's new I started Yoga recently and it's going pretty good I like it so far I think I'm gonna stick to it. well as I said not much else to report I'm going to Vegas in a couple weeks can't wait it's gonna be fun! well I'll blog more when I have something relatively interesting to say ;)

it's 2008!

Wow I can't believe it's 2008! time sure flies when your having fu....just living normal everyday life. 2007 was a mixed year it had some highs and some major lows and I'm glad it's over and I'm looking forward to a great 2008 I have some big plans for myself this year. that as they unfold I'll be sure to post about. as for now I'm just living life going to work and doing normal stuff been a little busy with the holidays and what not so I haven't been posting much, but I'll try to do better in the coming year.

Happy New Year

Happy Holidays

Well it's been awhile since I've updated so I guess it was time so not a lot of things going Christmas is a week away which is crazy, but I'm pretty much done shopping and I'm ready for Christmas. This last weekend I went to Macys downtown and went and saw the 8th floor display which was the nutcracker it was a cute little display it's cheesy and mostly for kids I hadn't been to it in years it was a real blast from the past. we also saw the Holidazzle parade it was cute there were lots of floats with Christmas lights adorned on them there was a real cute one that was little kids in like a zoo train and they were all dressed in really elaborate costumes it was cute. It was freezing though, but fun. not much else to report work is well work not very exciting I could take it or leave it most days, but I guess who doesn't feel that way about their jobs? not much else to report here is a funny video of Lola trying to get into a stocking.

Happy ThanksGiving

Happy Turkey Day Everyone. I had a good Thanksgiving the usual turkey etc,but it was good. prior to Thanksgiving last Friday we had a surprise party for my Dad he turned the big 60 he was surprised, but he figured something was going happen since this was our third surprise party of the year. oh well.



In other news I just became a rep for a company called Nature Rich check out my new site.

My New Bed spread

So I thought it was time for a new bed spread so I went and got one at target isn't it pretty


I especially like the Chihuahua pillow on the end.

it's Halloween time

Happy Halloween Everyone

here's a post

well I was just looking at my page here and realized it probably looks like all I do is watch TV or atleast lately, but that's not true. I've been doing a lot lately I went to Virgina/DC last weekend
We went there to both vacation and to see some relatives it was a fun trip and DC is a cool city to visit I'd like to go back again some day and see a little more of course there is other places I'll probably go before I go there again, but still it will be on my list again. then the very next day after I got back I went to see Maroon 5 it was a cool concert me and Sara had a fun time

we had floor seats that was a different experience I'm used to sitting for atleast part of the concert not so when your on the main floor everyone stands so you have to also if you want to see the stage, but it was fun!
and in other news I did get my little promotion at work and my raise it wasn't quite as much as I had hoped for, but it will do for now ;) this last weekend I went up to the casino and won about $300 woo hoo go me!!! I left soon after I didn't want to risk loosing it I did end up going shopping at MOA on Saturday and another mall on Sunday, but actually I didn't spend that much at the mall so I still have some left Yay ;) well right now I'm tired so I'm gonna head off to bed, but I just wanted to give a little update on my life (to whoever may read this if anyone)

Am I wrong

Is it wrong to be excited about TV! because I am all my favorite shows start next week so I can officially be a couch potato again! oh no. well I'm going out of town on Wednesday night so I'll be a couch Potato to my TIVO when I get back I guess. I can't wait to see some of my favorite shows including. Heroes, Grey's Anatomy and The office among others. I'll try not to be to much of a couch potato, but for the first couple weeks of the season I guess I will be. Premiere week is the best TV week can't wait.


Ok Enough of my meaningless entertainment besides premiere not a lot else going on I'm going to Virginia next week with My Mom to go to DC and see some family should be fun! oh and I also may have gotten a promotion at work my boss says I probably got it, but she's not sure yet and that was on Monday I haven't heard anything yet. mind you this isn't a grand promotion that will really move me up in the company to much it's just a change of status for the kinds of mortgage calls I can get otherwise my job is absolutely the same, but it comes with a raise!!! that's the part I'm hoping for and it better be good ;)

Finally a Post!

Well it's Been over a month since my last post. so I figured It was time to make a new post A lot has gone on over the last month or so. actually. before my last post I was in California going to wine Country!

although this was a month ago I figured it deserved a mention. the main reason we went there was to Surprise my sister for her big 30! birthday! Does she look surprised to you?

I was there for about 4 days total it was a fun time. 2 days after I got back was the bridge tragedy,but I already did a post about that so I won't rehash that., but now it's August an That means State Fair time!!!one of my very favorite things to do in the summer. I actually ended up going 3 times this year. I don't usually go that often just the opportunity came about 3 times and I didn't have anything else going on so I thought what the heck. Below is a crowd shot from the fair. I don't know that guy walking by he just walked into frame as the photo was snapped.

The fair is always fun so much greasy, but delicious foods good things the fair only once a year or I'd weigh 200lbs :) also another thing I like to do is see how much free crap I can get not papers ,but pens, yard stick, or whatever. well I discovered if you want to do this you have to go early or your SOL I went the first time on the 2nd day and people were handing me bags with stuff in them left and right just for walking by their booth I even got a free screw driver from a tool place a good quality one to I was pretty pleased with my haul. then I went on the Sunday of the first weekend and I got some stuff not quite as much as before, but a fair amount, but I was going to see if I could get another screw driver not because I need it just because I'm greedy ;), but they didn't have them! not a big deal because I already had one., but the last time I went was a week later I walked out of there with not one free thing. it was crazy if that had been my first time there I would have been disappointed. so next year when I go I'm gonna go the first or second day :) anyway also next I think I'm going to limit my fair trips to 2 total 3 might have been over kill not really, but I saw everything already by then. oh well I had fun all three times. in other news not a ton going on work is well work I am hopefully getting a promotion next month. Wow that sounds exciting doesn't it except it's not as much as it sounds now I'm a rep 1 and I'm going to be a rep 2 nothing at all changes about my job except I'll get a raise!! i'M Crossing my fingers. at the end of this month I'm going to be going to Virgina/DC to see some relatives with Mom. The day after I get back I'm going to go see Maroon 5 in concert with my friend Sara. I have floor seats I've never had floor seats at a concert so this will be interesting. In other news I had a crazy dream last night that zombies were loose outside took me a few minutes after I woke to shake the feeling that there weren't really zombies outside lol obviously I knew there weren't, but dreams are weird. anyway the reason I had the weird dream was because I just saw a preview for the movie Resident evil no thanks besides movies made from video games are typically crap anyway. I was there seeing Superbad which by the way I highly recommend it was hilarious! a very realistic portray of high school students brought back memories.

Well I've sure rambled on a lot here I haven't blogged in awhile I guess it was pent up. ;)

35W Devastation

in case people hadn't hear there was a major bridge collapse on 35W in Minneapolis this is a road that I take myself from time to time. I can't even imagine what those people went through this has got to be one of if not the worst tragedy to happen in Minnesota at least in modern times. I was going to be going downtown tonight to a meetup at a bar that was actually near this area, but I wouldn't have had to take the bridge. I don't know if I know anyone that was on the bridge the odds are good that I at least know of someone who was on that bridge. I've heard of fatalities I pray for those people and anyone trapped and for their families. of all the times that this tragedy could occur it happened at rush hour! Its so crazy that stuff like this happens without warning. I can't even imagine the terror that these people who were on the bridge must have felt. I'm going to continue to watch the news hoping to get some more details.

Update!

Well not really an update, but I haven't been on here in awhile so I thought it was time for a new post. not a lot new is happening just working basically. oh I did sign up for a 401k a few weeks ago that's pretty impressive probably should have done that along time ago. oh well can't change the past gotta start somewhere right? Tomorrow is the fourth of July and Moms having her usual barbecue should be fun the best part is no Work!!! Yay!! I'm gonna sleep!!! this is kind of a boring post because there is not a lot going on the only thing coming up is the Nickleback/Daughtry concert at the end of the month that's something to look forward to anyway. well hmm not much else to say I'll try to think of something more interesting to talk about for my next post.

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day! to My Dad! and all the Dad's out there.
