Totally Worth Every Penny...

To start this off.... I think it is only fitting to share blog #200 with

The Bon Jovi and Vegas (baby!)

(Seriously, is he not the sexiest man alive?!)

Yep, went to Vegas (baby!) again for another concert. This time I went with Anna and Hannah. We did some walking around Fremont Street, which is kind of random, but kind of cool.
We ate fried foods - but not just any fried foods,
a fried Twinkie (not that good) and a fried Oreo (really good!)

We shopped and shopped and found some great buys.

And then..... we saw The Bon Jovi (and Dashboard Confessional, who I like, but really didn't do a fabulous job - it was kind of sad).

I can't really describe the concert experience that I had. All I can say is he sang, and sang, and sang and I screamed, and screamed, and screamed.

(Yes, I still have a dry, scratchy throat almost a week later).

And then he sang Hallelujah.

Seeing it live was A-MAZING!

That moment was one of the best of my life.
The entire trip was justified because of that song.

Bass-ackwards....

You know it has been a bad day all around when you finally

find time to go to the restroom at 3:45pm

(after sitting at your desk since 8:00am)

and discover your underwear has been on backwards

ALL DAY!

Fantastic....

Seriously, I may curl up under my desk and die now.

Number Nine

So Anna sent me this list a few weeks ago when I was having a bad day. Well, let's be honest, I have been having a bad six months.... and it isn't suppose to get better anytime soon.

Anyway, it made me laugh and was totally true, so I decided to share it with all of you.

1. I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
9. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.
10. Bad decisions make good stories.
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my collection…again.
13. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
14. “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this — ever.
15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?
16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
17. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call…
18. My 3-year old nephew asked me in the car the other day “What would happen if you ran over a ninja?” How do I respond to that?
19. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
20. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.

The other night Stinky Pete had a swim meet. She did great - although I have learned I am not a fan of swim meets. There is A LOT of sitting around on crappy benches with no back support. And there are a million people and only about a hundred seats - and 75 of those seats are covered by somebodies crap 'saving' it just in case they may want to sit down (which none of them did the ENTIRE time I was there). And although the pool area says "participants and coaches only" the 999,975 people that couldn't get seats in the stands spread out their crap along the edges of the pool. Oh, and the million people like to talk and YELL in this little building with a pool and so you think your head will explode from the noise. And there are a bazillion events and Stinky Pete only swam in three - that were not even close together (good for her, bad for my butt and back).

Back to my original thought....

Afterwards we all went to dinner at Applebee's. Eugene was sitting there all happy and ready to eat, then so nicely announced, Red Robin! Yum... He did it perfectly, just like the commercial. Right there in Applebee's and all. Hilarious!

This Just In..

So apparently by trying to keep some anonymity in my life most people can't view my fabulous videos and stuff. I made some changes (which really means I had to re-download them because YouTube wouldn't let me just change them to public rather than private) and they are now out there for the world to enjoy..... (let's just hope that doesn't include the psycho's - you know they are out there).

If there are still problems, then YouTube sucks and I don't know how to fix it.

Spectacular

LOVES

Spiderman.

And he knows the song to both Spiderman cartoons.

And he conveniently joined them into one.

(I love the aa... aa.... aa... parts and tend to sing them over and over all day long)
