SYTYCD

I don't watch So You Think You Can Dance but I did happen to stumble upon this video clip of a routine performed on the show yesterday and it literally brought me to tears...just like most things have this past week. What's up with that?!



As most of you know my dad has fought cancer and like one of the judges said...anyone with cancer believes they can beat it. Luckily for my family, my dad did beat it but I have known way too many people who weren't so lucky. Watch this video...even if you're not a dance person...it will bring you to tears.

Dirty

This is what my husband said to me yesterday...

Hubs: "Did you shower today?"

Me: "Um, yes. I shower everyday (almost). Why?!"

Hubs: "You look dirty."

Seriously, wtf?! My face was a bit oily but c'mon, I had just hiked across the school parking lot in 125 degree heat!!

I Know...

I suck as a blogger right now! I just don't feel like it...how's that for a reason?! There aren't many things in my life that I can say that to/about...but I can say that about blogging and follow through with it! Like for instance...my husband has a "To-Do" list for tomorrow and Friday...tomorrow consists of taking down ALL of the blinds in the house and scrubbing and bleaching them...and Friday is shampoo the carpet day. Now, those are two things I'd LOVE to say "I don't feel like it" to but for whatever reason Hubs frowns upon that phrase of mine. Humph...the nerve! So for now...I'm not going to blog about my trip to Vegas...or my insane school schedule next semester...or the 3-4 hour naps I've been taking...or my children's birthday parties...or that fact that my cat vomited all over our bed and the dog vomited on the carpet...because I just don't feel like it!

I'll be back soon!

Umbrella Hater

I don't like hate umbrellas! There are many reasons for this...such as, what exactly ARE you supposed to do in the rare event that you make it to your car dry because you actually used the umbrella...do you get in the car while trying to close the umbrella outside the door? Do you close the umbrella when you get to the car and then hop into the car quickly? I haven't figured this one out yet...and I haven't figured out what to do with the WET umbrella once you do get it into the car? Do you drip it across the passenger seat and onto the floor? Do you put it down by your feet and run the risk of getting tangled up in it while driving and perhaps causing an accident? OR do you do something like this...

Once upon a time there were three young teenage girls who moved away to a wonderful college town just a mere month after graduating high school...some people refer to it as Aggie land...the young lovelies chose to call it "Coolage Sta." That name may or may not have been established after the consumption of alcohol...really, it's not my place to share that information. =) Anyhow, these young ladies had some weird aversion to school. It could have been the new found freedom they were experiencing, the awesome house they lived in, the cash flow their parents provided(none of the ladies worked), the alcohol consumption (again, not my place to share), ooor it could have been as simple as something called rain. Rain! Let me share a rain story with you about these three girls...

On one of the rare occasions that all three of the girls made it to school together it was raining! One of the girls, let's call her "Amy", was carrying an umbrella while hiking across the campus parking lot. Yes, am umbrella...you know, those stupid things that are supposed to keep you dry when its raining, well the wind picked up and flipped the damn thing inside out. Wonderful! "Amy" simply chunked the umbrella down, turned around, and walked back to the car. No words were needed...the other two girls followed closely behind. Once in the safety of their car, mostly likely "Rissa's" brand new Tahoe, they drove to Chick-fil-A and ate breakfast before continuing home to return to the warmth of their beds. (This last sentence could be true or false, most likely true because this was done on more than one occasion.)

So ladies, that is my third option of what to do with an umbrella when it's raining. It's really your choice...

Viva Las Vegas



Finally...the time has come for us (just the hubs and me) to take our MUCH needed and deserved vacation to Las Vegas! Our friends Shawn and Lisa are getting married there and invited us to witness their marriage. How can you say no?! ;) After all, Shawn was a groomsman in our wedding. So, we decided to make a vacation out of it. Although Shawn and Lisa will be departing Vegas on Thursday to continue their honeymoon in Cali, we're staying until Sunday. I've made a "to do" list of things in Vegas...places I want to eat...places I want to see...things I want to do...and we've brushed up on our craps skills. We didn't get to go on a honeymoon after our wedding because of my school and the kiddos school so this will also be a kind-of-not-really-because-i-want-to-go-to-Hawaii honeymoon for us as well! Hope you guys have a great week! I'll be back next Monday with lots of pictures, I'm sure! Also, follow me on Twitter...I'll send lots of updates and pics!
