H e l l o . . . ?

So, to be honest, I'm a little disappointed. So far Ashley(Gardner) is the only one to leave a suggestion for the summer of adventure. THANK YOU ASH!!! (I might just be able to pull that off this summer on my cruise! Yay!!) Come on peeps, I need your help. Anything goes! It can be what ever... Today for something new, I played "webkinz". My friend at work's kid loves me. (Can ya blame him?...My celeb look a like is Rosanne after all) He's 5 years old and super cute. He always tells me how pretty I am and brings me little cards and other things he makes me. Well, this week he brought me a webkin. Webkins are stuffed animals that have virtual realities online. Mine is a little white poodle named Snow White. You can dress them shop for them play games, all sorts of stuff that I haven't figured out yet. Anyway, he was so excited to give it to me so we could be friends online. (I'm really hoping to meet Chris Hansen from Dateline with this adventure) So, that is what I did today to experience something new. See, it doesn't have to be something extravagant, just something new. I'll be expecting some suggestions....

Gangsta came home!!!

So, some of you know this, but for the rest of you...I am currently cat-sitting for the summer. My friend, Vinny, is doing summer sales in St Louis, so I am watching his cat, Gangsta... yes, Gansta is the cat's name...and yes, it is spelled with a second "a" instead of an "er"(he's got the tags to prove it) Gangsta technically moved in about two weekes ago. We brought all his stuff over and got him all set up. The first night went exploring, no big deal, just checking the lay of the land. He is apparently a thug afterall. The probelm came when he didn't come back. First few days, no big deal, but after a week I got pretty nervous. Some cat-sitter I was... Well, last night I was in the kitchen and heard the little jingling of Kitty cat tags. I went outside and there he was. The prodigal son had returned. Almost two weeks later. YAY!!!! So for those of you who were worried, you can all relax. The kitty came home.

"Boo-fasa"

I'm looking for suggestions...

So, my roommate Meggan and I had named this The Summer of Adventure '08. We are all about trying new things, seeing new places, having new experiences and meeting new people. We're currently making lists and trying to formulate our plans...which any of you are welcome to join BTW.

We are looking for any suggestions for what we should do/try this summer. Anything goes here...it can be absolutely outlandish and absurd, or even something just minor but fun. Think of it as a "bucket list" of sorts. So far, we have a list of 21 adventures but I am hesitant to list any of them here. We've found ourselves in a little bit of a rut, as far as ideas and I don't want to influence any of your ideas.

So.. what I am asking you to do is to post a comment, text me, call me, email me, etc with your ideas or lists of ideas. I would love you forever, and will award the best idea with a prize. Also, if you are going on/having any adventures and need a friend, I'm in!!

Vegas Baby!!!

I've been meaning to blog about my Vegas trip for awhile now, so here goes...

At the end of March my friend Vinny and I decided to go to Vegas to see the Cubs v Mariners exhibition game. We decided Tuesday or Wednesday and left Friday morning. We drove down in time for the game on Friday. It was lots of fun! The crowd was pretty into it (at least where we were sitting) so that made it entertaining. In the end, my Mariners won.

After the game, it was still fairly early, so we went to play on the strip. We wandered around, the usual. We spent most of our time at the Belagio (or at least took most of the pics there). The garden was really cool this time. It was very Spring-y! They had made so many cool things out of the flowers. I think it might be my favorite!

I really loved the watering cans and the snail...
The fountain show was a classic as usual. And for those of you who are wondering... they didn't play the Pink Panther.
Saturday, we went to Hoover Dam. I had never been there, but I had heard great things from Les. It was a wonderful 85 degree day. The Dam was impressive, I must say. That thing is HUGE!!

The craziest part though, was the road they are building. It just sticks right out there...not quite how ya build something like that.

After the Dam we went back to the strip and chilled for a bit. The next day, as we were driving back from a beautiful weekend of 85 degree weather, it began to snow. By the time we hit Nephi, it was yucky weather the whole way home. We almost turned around and headed back to Vegas. All in all it was a great trip.

This Must Be a Joke!!!!

So, Thursday when I left for work, this is what I saw...Do you see our tulips?!? They're so sad. I had to scrape my car off...I want to remind you this is May 1st, 30 days from Summer and it snowed!!!! Don't worry though. I think it was God's little prank...when I got home a little after 5pm that same day it looked like this...

Yeah!!! Maybe Summer is coming after all!!
