Krativ Blogger Award

This award came from Jax at The Roaring Twenties. We're friends in real life and I love the fact that she blogs almost daily. If you haven't read her blog, check it out. Thanks Jax for the nomination. And since it came with an award I figured I better do it! Here are the rules:

• Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
• Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
• Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
• Name 7 things about yourself that people may not know.
• Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.
• Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.
• Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they've been nominated.

Here we go!

1. I love marathons. Love them! TV shows, books, whatever. This is probably the reason why I watch so many reality shows; most networks replay the shows as a marathon and then I get hooked. If I start it I have to finish it. It becomes an obsession. About a month ago I discovered Janet Evanovich's the Stephanie Plum novels. There's 15 of them and I finished them in about a week and half.
2. I like going to the dentist. That feeling of having your teeth newly cleaned is one of my favorite things.
3. If you know me in real life, you know that I hate bugs. I'm scared of them. Especially flying or jumping ones. I swear they're out to attack me.
4. I've joined a fantasy football team. Dave is definitely helping me, but so far I'm doing pretty good and its fun!
5. I hate handling things over phone. It seriously frustrates the hell out of me. I think I speak better in person and make my point more clearly when I do it face to face rather than on the phone.
6. I love old shows like I Dream of Jeannie and I love Lucy.
7. I kill all house plants. Including a bamboo plant. Granted it took me 5 years to officially kill, but I finally did.

Now my nominees!

• Andrea at Miss Priss Does a Blog. She just had baby Henry, so she probably has other things she wants to blog about, but I still think she deserves the award.
• Bethany at Adventures in Mommyhood.
• Joy at Emotional Diva.
• Jessie at I Love Guiness.
• Carrie at After All the Folderol.
• Rachel at Yes, I have a blog.
• Kat at Team Hills.

Grasshopper

Has somehow made it up to my second story window and won't stop staring at me. Seriously, it's been two days. I'm starting to think he's a spy for my boss to see if I'm really working...

Random thoughts

Bootcamp plug: Come out to bootcamp! It's Monday and Wednesday at 6pm and Saturday at 10am at Zink Park at 31st and Trenton. It's $10/session. Most of us are out of shape and complain throughout the workout. We have all sizes. If you want a great workout come out and join us!

Work is crazy busy which is why I haven't had a chance to blog. One cool thing that's going on right now is we're showcasing one of Darryl Starbird's custom car. Its a '51 Mercury that he did custom fabrication on. It's pretty sweet, even if you're not into cars. Here's a pic and that's Darryl Starbird himself. If you don't know who Darryl Starbird is, he's famous for making custom cars. He has a muesum at Grand Lake.


The Britney concert was amazing! If you get an opportunity to go, go. Seriously, she knows how to put on a show. My camera did not take good pics so I'm not even going to post them. The lights really messed with my camera and I couldn't find a good setting. We did see several tranny's. One had on a nice ring leader out fit that cut off at the midriff and was all sequins. It was awesome.

Kelly's shower is this weekend!! I'm excited. I'm hosting so hopefully, things go smoothly. We're going shopping for food and stuff tonight. And between now and 8pm tomorrow I need to clean my house.

I'm running the fun run at the Race for the Cure on Saturday morning. Let's hope I don't die. We did a little bit of running during bootcamp and I my sides started cramping after 5 steps. So, dying really is a possibility. But if Matt can do a 10 min mile drunk, I think I can survive a fun run.

Bootcamp Booty

This was a great weekend. TU football and we were victorious over New Mexico University.

My weekend began with a few of my friends and hubby deciding to do a bootcamp. I was forced to participate because my husband is heading it up and it would look like I wasn't supporting him sitting at home on the couch while he was working out my friends. So for the first time in about a year I got dressed and worked out. I'm in so much pain its not even funny. We worked out with probably 8 other people and I think they were expecting more out of me then what I could give. Apparently being the wife of trainer implies that I too enjoy working out. Which is the opposite. There was another wife of a trainer there and she definitely gave me a bad name since she was all in shape and acted like the workouts were doing were not a big deal. The whole time I thought I was going to throw-up or die. Though neither happened.

So after bootcamp and laying on the couch for a few hours I went to the TU watch party. It was fun. Very crowded, but it was exciting to be around genuine TU fans. I was with the group that was the last to leave. We looked up and everyone was gone, including the wait staff. The security guard came over and said they wanted to lock up. We were like, "oh ok, we're not sure how we missed everyone leaving." Eh, it happens right?

Sunday was a lazy day. Mainly because I couldn't move due to bootcamp. I'm still in pain and some how I'm supposed to show back up and do more workouts. We'll see. I may not want to be in too much pain for the Britney Concert which is tomorrow!!

Labor Day Weekend in Bullet Point Form

• Drinking with 5 hour energy drink will cause you to stay up way too late, i.e. 4am.
• I'm too old to remember the rules to asshole.
• I'm not too old to find asshole funny.
• Drinking Project Runway is hilarious. We used the words design, style, bitches, and Ra'mon's interviews.
• It takes me days to recover from binge drinking.
• I'm in love with the Biscuit Acres, the dog park. I feel like I'm doing something with the dogs only I'm not the one running around and wearing myself out. It's amazing.
• Watching Glee, the new Fox show, is hilarious. Either because it really is that funny or because I was still hyper from the 5 hour energy drink.
• I did not have a hangover from the binge drinking which I believe is due to the 5 hour energy drink and it's million percent serving size of vitamin B.

Do you follow it?

Do you ever give someone advise and when the exact same situation arises you do not follow it? Say when your husband has a mysterious rash appear on his arm that spreads to his chest and you tell him over and over again to see a dermatologist. Especially when he keeps saying how it’s spreading and you tell him you're grossed out and won't touch him and his feelings get hurt because he can't understand why. And then you wake up one day with the tiniest of a bump, but it itches and it doesn't appear to be spreading so you assume it’s a bug bite. And then the back of your legs start itching and again you assume its bug bites only when you look at the area it appears to be something resembling a rash? You can rationalize that you don't need to see a dermatologist because unlike your husband, you took years of chemistry and biology even though its been almost six years ago and you watch Grey's Anatomy as well as Plastic Surgery Before and After and clearly you're closer to understanding the dynamics of your skin then your husband who only holds a Business degree and hates any surgery shows. And you go and buy the generic cortisone cream and you impress yourself because it actually cures the mystery rash. You would be totally justified in not following your own advise.

Ahh Wednesday

Do you ever have one of those mornings where you stop and think this isn't working, I need to regroup or go drink? Typically I would like to regroup with a nice beer or a drink with a high level of vodka, but that's not appropriate today. So instead I'm going to QT and getting pretzels and Diet DP. I consider both items staples for breakfast.

Because curious minds want to know why my morning is falling into the disaster category:

• Receptionist out sick again today so I get to play her role along with running the school.
• Female student claims a male student is sexually harassing her.
• Expel male student for sexual harassment.
• Students in an uproar because they found out they must pay off their school account in order to receive their graduation items.
