I'm so busy! The last 2 weekends I had to go out of town for wedding related stuff for one I'm in this August, the weekend before that we had a bunch of people over here for ufc/bbq. This is my only "free weekend" for awhile. We went and saw Transformers again last night. Today we're going to IKEA for some living room stuff and other than that probably just spending the weekend at the pool, whoo!

Next week on Thursday we're going to Nevada to see my family! I'm excited :) We'll be going to Lake Tahoe for the holiday, and we'll be doing some fun stuff while we're there, like a moonlight hike the night of the full moon, then staying the night down there (instead of at my parents place in a small town between Reno and Lake Tahoe). We'll be gone the 2nd through the 7th, then we come back to AZ to work for two days, and THEN That Friday (the 10th) we're leaving straight from work with Clinton's best friend Robb, to drive to Las Vegas! Whoo! I'm not a big Vegas fan normally, but we're really going for UFC 100 (http://100.ufc.com/). Friday night we'll check in, then do the normal Vegas stuff, you know, casinos and such. Saturday all day there's an EXPO where you can walk around and there will be fighters you can meet and get autographs and stuff. Then Saturday night is the fight. I got this sweet GSP shirt for the weekend. http://tinyurl.com/kwjfuz Click the link the see the awesome back decal!


If you're not into UFC then it's kind of hard to appreciate the awesome-ness of this. The fighters (well, most of them, not all of them) all have signature shirts. It used to all be through Affliction but they're no longer making them because they branched out on their own and so now there are other companies making exclusive fighter shirts. GSP premiered his Silver Star shirt at... I think maybe UFC 97? I can't remember, the last one that was in LV, and it's the first shirt that Silver Star has made for a UFC fighter. You can buy them and wear them and I've bought a few for Clinton including GSP, Rich Franklin, and Forrest Griffin. ANYWAY it is like impossible to find a cool UFC shirt for a girl. They're all like, pink and/or slutty and to me, don't really say that you like UFC, jsut that you like UFC BOYS, and want to look hot and are a phony. Maybe I'm looking into it too much. But honestly, I don't like stuff like that ever. I have a ton of pink crap, but when it comes to things that are pink and aren't supposed to be, that drives me NUTS! Like pink jerseys. If you're going to be a fan, then be a goddamn fan and represent, don't be a pussy about it and wear something pink! Okay, end tangent. but yeah, that's why I'm excited about this shirt because it actually looks like a boys shirt but is made for a girl, and it's the only one I've seen like this.

ANYWAY, so I'm not a HUGE fan, the boys are, Robb especially, he's definitely obsessed, legit. But I'm getting more into it lately so it should be cool. However, the selling point for me on going to Vegas is of course that we get to go to Bobby's MESA Grill! WHOOOOO! My God, it was SOO good last time, I'm drooling just thinking about it! Sunday morning we'll check out and go to MESA for brunch! OMG the menu looks so awesome, including blue corn pancakes! AAAAHHHHH so excited about that!

The weekend after that I MIGHT be free or I MIGHT be helping someone move, it's up in the air. The weekend of the 18th is Kristen's bachelorette party. The weekend after that is the wedding, so I have to go out of town for that. Then there's... 1 or 2 weekends between the wedding, and then we're off work for a week for Clinton's birthday week and we're going to California for beach, Sea World, and a baseball game!

I'm so excited for all of this stuff!

And you can bet your asses there will be an absurd amount of pictures!

i have a perverse curiosity regarding what people would say (to me or to other people) if they didn't have to put their name to it. so please... comment away with anonymity.

why not? memes are easier than real posts.

Just browsing the ol' eljay and found this... why not! I don't think we really "know nothing about each other", but what the hey.

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you!

I wish the forum would come back. I could really use a distraction. :(

anyone know of some mindless entertainment I can employ?

I'm quitting 2x365, and I have a pretty legit reason.

Due to my work issues followed immediately by and INCREDIBLY difficult familial issue, I fell way way behind, and I don't want to miss a month and then start up again, it just doesn't seem right to me. I'll do it again next year.

Please don't ask what the situation is, it's not my place to talk about it here. Just trust me when I say it's been an incredibly difficult time and if you pray, or think good thoughts, or believe in karma, or anything like that, please just send good vibes to my family.

(and just to make this one thing clear - it has nothing to do with Marcus. He's doing great.)

I'm sorry to have slacked in this. it's been a really rough week.
