las vegas

you never know who you'll run into. ha!

gggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

why is it any time the boss leaves the entire work world goes to pot! gggrrrrrrrrr. and they're calling for snow fluries tomorrow! we haven't even brought in the patio set yet. gggggrrrrrr.

bad idea

never miss your work out class for a month then go back to it, and go swimming all in the same day. this is gonna hurt tomorow.

pop culture

so i was just watching popaganda and it was an episode about how religion has influenced pop music. what a surprise that some use it for album sales, but there was a quote i liked. they were talking about bono and how he has done more to promote Christianity through his actions than those who walk around proudly displaying their faith as a brand name. i can only aspire to be and do the same.

fall

i must say it's much too cold lately, but today turned into one of those beautiful fall days you wait for all year. lots of leaves to crunch under your feet, and a warm sun to kiss your face. lovely day for a walk with the snells dogs. ha! funny when you have to join others to walk the dog. but only 3 days till ugly betty!

apologies and confessions 2

check out Rae's blog for apologies and confessions#1. i've had way too many days like that in the past bit more than a month. today, not any better. but it's almost over and sleep is coming. ahhh sleep. and while i feel overwhelmed, they advertise a tv show of a family with 8 kids. i would be in an asylum if it were me. that's why it's not! ha! but on the Pollyanna side of things, the fall leaves and beautiful. nicely done Lord.

popcorn twists

gotta love them. such a child hood food. the kids are fighting over them eatting them out of a sponge bob lunch kit. i think i need a sponge bob lunch kit. though i did get 3 of the best t shirts in veas from the "stupid factory". the name of the store alone should tell you alot. "i found jesus. he was behind the couch". a pic of 3 garden gnomes,"hanging with my gnomies". a rock and a ruler talking,"you rock. you rule."simple mind, simple pleasures.

vegas

so, las vegas. great as always, but too short. 4 days was NOT enough. the phantom was the best performance i've seen of the 3 times i've seen it now. the actors were the best at emoting and their voices were fantastic. the theater was a beautiful replication of the paris opera house. spamalot was one of the funniest things i've ever watched. way to go eric idle! the tao beach was so much fun and beautiful, dancing the night away 2 nights in a row,aaaahhhhhhhh. the bed in our room stinking big room was delightfully comfortable. and the gondola ride was magic.it was really great to have NO responsibilities, and be able to be myself again for a moment. the moment was brief, and now gone. there isn't a "sigh" big enough to hold how i feel about that.

4 hours

i will be at the airport in 2 hours and 4 till we 're in the air. aaahhhhh, las vegas. i am really excited, but the baited breath escapes me. i think i still don't believe me to be so lucky and bless to get to go. but i'm on my way. so here's to friends, celebs and fun!

stolen quote

part of me is so beautiful

i don't know how to let that part win

(or even where she is)

holidays are great, but coming home is the best. living out of suitcases is fun until you run out of underwear and can't find anything any more. funny how fast that happens when you have kids. but we're home now and all the laundry is under way. and it's back to work tomorrow until next thursday then it's veagas baby!!!!!what will i have to look forward to after that? josh's christmas cd and of course christmas it self! that's right i said it.

ALWAYS go in the morning.went to peters drive in for the first time, good food. got s@#$% on by a bird while eating. always a nice way to finish dinner. calaway was great cause alarielle, my little chicken, loved the rides. all of them! so fun. in 2 years when naestra can go it'll be so fun. if you can afford to get in. the zoo was $30 just for brock and to get in, with a coupon, and calaway was $27 for just brock and i with 50% off coup..how do family's afford to vacation? crazy stuff. but just over a week till veags. can't wait.
