31 days of blogging...

I did it! Not that every post was exciting or drama filled, but I did prove to myself that I could post every day. I don't always have to wait for the "exciting" stuff to happen, and obviously it didn't the last few days! Still sick, but I do feel better which is a good thing since I will be back to work tomorrow. It's always a bummer though being sick on the weekend. I feel like it was wasted! But here is a picture of Willy and Tug when they were puppies that always makes me smile if I'm feeling down!

Still sick.

I feel like crapola. On one hand, it's good I'm sick on the weekend, but on the other hand it's my weekend! I did manage to get out of the house and get my hair colored and eyebrows waxed. A girl has her priority's you know. I imagine it will be much of the same tomorrow--just laying around and relaxing. Maybe I will feel up for going out to breakfast. I'm thinking Blueberry Hill for their Mexican chilaques or the Coffee Cup Cafe for their huevos rancheros. Obviously my appetite hasn't been affected by this cold!

I thought I had avoided it...

but nooooo, Alan had to share his cold with me. I woke up this morning with a sore throat and have felt progressively worse as the day has gone on. I don't have big plans this weekend, but I do have some and I hope to keep them. You know, important things like getting the gray roots touched up, the eyebrows waxed, and going to the perpetual party animal's house for a shindig. Perhaps, if I take it easy tonight and dose up on Nyquil and whiskey then maybe in the morning I will feel a tad better! If not, I will be walking around like this...

For the love of sports.

Well, love of sports may be a bit of an exaggeration, but since moving to Vegas I have taken more of an interest. Maybe it's the fact that golf and tennis can be played outdoors almost year-round. Maybe it's because you can bet on anything and everything at the sports book. Maybe it's because every bar within a 100 mile radius of your house has Monday night football specials or maybe it's because there's always a party going on when a sporting event is on? I have watched more baseball, football, and UFC fighting since I moved here and have also played more tennis and Alan has played more golf than practically our whole lives put together. So, when my co-worker, Mike told me I would be joining him and two other guys from our company for a putt-a-thon I said okay without laughing too hysterically. Granted, I don't even know how to hold a golf club, but quickly caught on and while I realized I TOTALLY SUCK AT IT, it was a fun way to spend a few hours away from the office. However, I don't think I will be joining Alan anytime soon on the golf course. I will stick to tennis or the spectator sports!
Mike went to the University of Hawaii on a golf scholarship. Yep, he was good. Chester is on the left. We all had many good laughs at each other's expense.

After playing, I hustled all the way to the other side of the valley and did a quick change into jeans and flip flops. Alan and I headed to Cashman Field to see the Las Vegas 51's and to also hang out with our friends from Chicago. As you can tell it was a picture perfect night!

Picture perfect night except for this sad looking margarita. Sure it was $1 beer night, but was that good enough for me?! Noooooo, I had to have margaritas. I'm sorry Bud or Bud light just doesn't do it for me. Katy remembers (or maybe not) how good these margaritas are since we had one or two at the game the last time she was in town!

Our friend, Rose was trying to get on camera. She got up between every inning and danced and shaked her booty, but alas, no picture appeared on the jumbotron. The 51's loss because she is a very funny girl.

Quick, Cheap, and Easy

And NO, I'm not talking about myself here. This was dinner on a night when motivation is at an all time low.

I love Mondays...

when I don't have to go to work! Today, Tuesday, is the first day back after a three day weekend and it wasn't bad at all. I didn't feel evil and crabby like I often do on Monday mornings. Very busy day so it flew by and then I got to pick Alan up from the airport. In fact, it was my 2nd airport trip today. Dropped my sister off this morning and picked Alan up tonight. I was a little worried about getting him because President Obama is in town and traffic was messed up in a lot of places. I'm glad the President didn't inconvience me!
Alan spent the last 5 days in Seattle visiting with family. Unfortunately, he is still sick. He was just starting to get over the flu when he caught a cold, so it wasn't the best trip ever. Now he is back in the warm and loving embrace of his wife, so all is well...I can hear you all gagging...however, he is now coughing so this might mean sleeping in separate beds again because I can't have my beauty sleep disturbed--I already have to deal with Tug waking me up on a regular basis.

Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day! Erin and I had a mellow, but nice day. A little laying out in the sun, making monster cookies and out to Mexican food for dinner later. Now we are chillaxin' at home and will have to get up early tomorrow. I am taking her to the airport at 7:00 am and then heading to work!
