What Have You Been Up To?

Life is pretty good right now-staying busy, that I know. This coming week will be fun because David is treating himself and I to a little vacation in Vegas. We leave on Thursday and get back Sunday afternoon. Our original intentions for this trip were to go to a UFC fight- Hendo vs Jones at Mandalay Bay, but due to a torn MCL, Henderson had to back out. This is the first time in 11 years a UFC fight has ever been cancelled, and on top of that we also booked two tickets to see a couple of our favorites Joe Rogan and Joey Diaz do some comedy, but because of the UFC being cancelled, Mandalay Bay opted to cancel the comedy show too--and that my friends, is what we call Murphy's Law:-) I'm not going to let it bring me down though. So what if we spent a bunch of money on shows we can no longer see, and so what if we probably won't get reimbursed until after we return from Vegas:) Maybe David and I will get lucky on a slot machine or something... Oh wait, that's right, you have to actually gamble in order to win. Last time we were in Vegas we never gambled a dime.

So what are we going to do in Vegas? Wing it, I guess. This is hard for me because I like to have a plan in place. I will say I am REALLY looking forward to the weather change because I've been listening to David sneeze and sniffle for way too long. These allergies he has are not only annoying him, but me too.

Other than our trip to Vegas we have a little lady that'll be turning 2 in a matter of weeks.  I think  I'm more excited than anyone for her birthday. David thinks I'm doing all of this party planning for myself and maybe a little bit of that is true, but honestly, I always want the best for Syrie, so if she wanted a party w/ transformers, Legos (or any other boy craze I have no interest in) I'd make it the best damn party there could be. We decided to go with the carnival theme primarily because we already own a popcorn and cotton candy machine, but I'd have to say the best part of all is going to be the lady that comes to make the kids (and me) balloon animals! I'm hoping for nice (okay, decent) weather as we're planning this party at a park, but I won't be too let down if it ends up being moved to our tiny house. That's all for now, and I hope to post more after the birthday bash.

Writing Prompt #1

I stole this idea off of my friend's blog (thanks, Karah). Prompt: Current Photo, Introduce, 15 Interesting Facts Current Photo:  This photo was taken at Piramida in Waterloo. We were out for a friend's birthday. Pictured from left to right: Melissa, Jess, myself and Heather. Introduce:  I'm a 27 year old from Dike, Iowa. I reside in Waterloo with my daughter and husband. I work in Waterloo at one of the Deere facilities in Supply Management. In my spare time I enjoy your standard activities: hanging with family and friends.  I love to entertain, and I'd consider myself a foodie because I have a great deal of interest in food: I like to make it, eat it, serve it, entertain with it, and so on and so forth. I enjoy reading, listening to podcasts, traveling and going to see as many shows centered around comedy as I can. 15 Interesting Facts:   I can't promise these will be interesting, so lets call this interesting or strange, and hopefully you will...

Days 5-8

Day 5 (Thursday): Woo hoo! Half way there J I wish I could say this has been easy as pie, but then there I am again, thinking about pie. I will need to go on a no fruit diet after this cleanse because I’m so tired of fruit. I keep telling myself it’s what’s good for my body. Day 6 (Friday): I didn’t write much yesterday because I had a lot going on (more to come on that in a future post), but I did almost crack last night. I was crabby and hungry and I came home to David making a pizza.   The last thing I wanted was fish and veggies, but I sucked it up and made some tilapia- not the greatest thing in the world, so I think I’ll stick with cod- it was delicious the last two nights I made it. Today and the rest of the weekend are going to be tough. Weekends are tough anyways, what with all the opportunities to drink and eat food, bad food , late at night. Why is it that I can’t go a day without getting a headache? This is getting old. I’m crabby, so you’ll have to excuse the attitu...

Short Hair, Don't Care

Just a quick post on a BIG change I made last month on a whim. I chopped off all of my hair. Something I've been talking and thinking about for a few years. My mom finally got the courage to do it after much persuasion. Enjoy the below before & after pics.
