Lazy Days...

Sometimes you just need to lay around and do nothing....

Abra-Ca-Sexy!

Vegas (baby!) in June is HOT! And everyone broke Anna's no crack policy, boobs or butt.

The question is, who doesn't need an Armadillo purse?

Gazed at Barry Manilow while laying poolside (due to a bio-hazard in the pool).

Everyone knows I love to get my drink on..... (Diet Pepsi, yum!)

And since I drank so much I thought I lost my mind and Elvis had shrunk... nope he was definitely a midget Elvis. Only in Vegas!

Gold statue man, who tried to hit on me when I took a picture.... creepy.

Silver man.... way less creepy.

And The People's Diva.... Who'd've thunk she had such a mouth?!

The smiles are due to our dumbfoundedness at the use of Jazzies during the show. Seriously!

We got a quick song from Billy Idol

And a normal size (although poorly replicated) Elvis. He could sing and move his hips, so whatever.

Then I finished the night off with a quick hug from Barry. You know he can't smile......

It was a quick two day trip. We walked a lot, shopped a lot, bought a little, slept some, sweat buckets, rode several monorails, and relaxed plenty.

and counting...

So I didn't even realize, but my little blog here has reached the double digits. If I was paying attention I would have celebrated at 100, but we all know I'm oblivious at times. This just happens to be one of those times.

So happy

121

to me!

I think I'll have myself a piece of cake (or pie, yum!)

Some light housework

Not sure if you need something to do, but here's an idea...

Pull up a banana chair.... they really are quite comfortable!

and sit and watch the house next door get demolished? re-vamped? re-stored? re-modeled? (Really I'm not sure if it can be any of those things... it was in a sad state and should probably just have been torn down, but whatever).

Whatever happens, it will be quite the show. Almost up there with The Best Show on Earth just without all the wild animals (at least I hope there aren't wild animals, I already have a crazy imagination that assists in my insomnia, I don't need anything else).

rain, rain, go away....

.....don't come back any more days!

For (at least) the last two weeks this is what the skies have looked like.

We get a nice glimpse of the sun for a few hours, just to tease, then back comes the rain. And it isn't just some rain, it is buckets of rain pouring on you and soaking everything in sight. (Not always the best thing when you leave the sunroof tilted open..... but it was HOT when I went to church and there wasn't a single cloud in the sky... then the rumbling started mid-way through sacrament meeting and my mind thought - it will be so much fun to ride home sitting on wet seats. But you know I wasn't going to get up and walk out of the chapel IN FRONT OF EVERYONE to close the stupid thing).

(On a selfish note...) Yeah for me and the fabulous Anna for deciding she absolutely needed a weekend away - which led to us jumping on a plane and flying to Vegas (baby!)

P.S. I know you are all jealous and I will take lots of pictures of the sun and pool we will spend the entire time laying next to and jumping in. Oh, and we will go see this fabulous act and of course get some retail therapy.

Who needs the sun?

Just because it has been raining for the last month, (seriously, I lived in St George last year, this weather is giving me some severe seasonal depression). we couldn't pass up a delicious summer treat.

A triple.... 1 scoop raspberry, 2 scoops chocolate.... pure satisfaction!

Crafty... part two

So the last crafty post was actually written over a month ago, but I didn't ever take pictures of those fabulous socks. So now I have finished another pair of socks and the fancy hat I mentioned.
Here's my handiwork...

The socks are really kind of sad looking, but they are wearable and I made them, so that is all that matters. I didn't check my gauge so I deserve to have funky looking socks. Maybe this will teach me a lesson (which every pattern I have ever used has in bold CAPITAL letters, but that doesn't seem to grab my attention!)

The hat gave me a great introduction to lace patterns. And I love hats, so I'm sure this one will get plenty of wear.

And just because I wasn't having enough fun and staying busy knitting, I whipped this little beauty up. It actually only took me a couple hours to finish. Hopefully it won't be too big for my cute little niece come winter (because it is definitely too big now, but who wants a knit hat to wear in the summer? Although we really haven't reached summer here yet..... stupid rain!)
