Long post ahead......

It's been forever since I last posted.......I don't really have a good excuse.....work has been a little crazy, but other than that I'd say I'm just lazy. Sooooo, I figured I'd do a little catching up on what I've been up to lately....


Went up to Fort Collins last weekend. Brings back fun college memories, I miss that place. They were having West Fest that weekend, so there were booths set up with shopping and all kinds of food, and outdoor concerts all weekend. We happened to be there while the B-52's were playing......we couldn't see them but stayed just long enough to hear them play Love Shack :) TIN ROOF!.......RUSTED......

Some Pics from the evening.......


This is the greatest picture of the night.......she told him to smile like he was on vacation :) He did. :)


This little one has been sick lately......

I'm not sure if she ate something that made her sick or if she's just going through a thing, but it was BAD. I mean, up at 3 in the morning, had to rent a steam cleaner the next day, kind of bad. And, of course, as soon as we deep clean the carpet, she gets sick again the next day. Yay. Talk about good times. She's acting a lot better this week, but I think her stomach is still a little unhappy.....Poor little dog.....

Guess what I found at the store last week........TaaaaaDaaaaa!

If you look really closely, the bottle says: "Hair that gets poofy as it dries?" OMG. I laughed so hard when I saw this.....mainly because MY HAIR GETS POOFY AS IT DRIES!!! Anyone who knows me knows that I have to straighten my hair every time I wash it because as soon as it starts to dry it totally gets out of control poofy and frizzy. So, naturally, I had to buy this. So far it's working pretty well! My hair is crazy poofy so I'm pretty sure nothing will totally tame it, but it definitely helps!! (Or maybe I'm just imagining the results, because I think the fact that they even make this shampoo/comditioner is funny:) )

I also ordered this a couple days ago......

Not this exact one but you get the idea. I'm soooooo excited!! I ordered it from Dell, not really comprehending that they actually have to BUILD it for me before they ship it. Consequently, I'm stuck looking online on an hourly basis trying to see if it's shipped yet. As of 2 minutes ago, it was done with testing and still waiting to be boxed. HELLO? It's been waiting to be boxed for almost 24 hours. How hard is it to throw it into a box with some foam popcorn?? Don't these people know that I'm an instant gratification kind of girl and would really like to play with my new laptop NOW? Apparently they don't.......and here I wait......

Been listening to this on repeat on my IPod for almost 2 days......

I'm in love. Awesome CD.

And finally......Jake bought these for me last week......


You have no idea how excited I am about this. (Ok, maybe Jamie knows, only because I've been counting down the days until their release date for about 2 months....) I've already finished the entire second season of Veronica Mars and started on the second season of House last night. I love them both. So....if you can't find me in the next week, rest assured. I'm more than likely sitting on my couch in gray pajama pants, an old white tank top, hair thrown up in a messy pony tail, ignoring my phone when it rings, eating bon bons, watching TV on DVD's with my mouth gaping halfway open, only getting up to change disks. :) Don't worry, I'm almost done with them, so I'll return to the real world soon......

Organization is a Good Thing.....

I've been working on my scrap space lately, organizing the massive amounts of scrapping stuff I have. It took a lot of time and energy, but I think I finally have most of it organized! Here are a couple pictures of my stuff before I started.....




Random stuff packed into plastic tubs, in no particular order......























And this is the newly organized scrap space.......


The work area......























The out of control collection of Prima Flowers.....




Blogger won't let me post the other pictures of my scrap space, but I have a bookshelf full of cardstock and albums. I also found that I have 5 photo albums full of pictures that I need to scrap, along with 2 boxes of pictures. I did a rough guestimate of how many pictures I have to scrap, and I decided it's right around 2,000!!! I should probably get started on that.....

Once I finished the scrap space I actually sat down and whipped out a couple of pages......pretty much the first pages that I've scrapped in over a year!

Notice the abundance of Prima flowers in both pages :) I'm pretty sure that I will be using prima's on every page for the next year just to make a dent in my Prima collection.....

I'm hoping to get some good use out of the new scrappy space and get a few of my 2,000 pictures scrapped. We'll see how far I get. Tomorrow I'm participating in an Adult Field Day, complete with Dodgeball, Sack Races, Three-legged races, and more. Oh yeah, and there's also a Hula Hoop Race. :) I'm excited!

Highlights....

Been spending lots of time with family this past week, hanging out, playing with babies, bbq-ing......family time always means lots of good food. :) Here are some of the hightlights of this past weekend.....


Friday night a big group of us went downtown for our friend Dani's 21st birthday. Not many of my pictures turned out so I can't even post a picture of the birthday girl, but the cute blonde in the picture is her sister Jen. :) We had a great time showing Dani the Denver night life; although it made some of us feel a little old, and needless to say I am no longer used to staying out all night!






The little dog got a new toy this weekend.....I'm not really sure what it is but I thought it was pretty cute. Maya seems to like it; she carries it around with her all over the house. Jake calls it her gay pony :)







Came home last night to these......I have a pretty cute boy and I must say that I'm pretty lucky..... :)








And I leave you with this......Perhaps my favorite picture to date.....How can you not love these guys?
