Mystery Solved!

Check out Whitney's blog to find the real reason behind this stumping post. Clever huh! :)

Whit, you make me laugh!!

What's with all of the NOISE!?!

Last week I was thrilled about all of the leaves falling outside my office window. Today I have realized a major downside of that...leaf blowers.

Especially when there are three of them being operated outside my window while I am in the middle of a VERY, VERY, VERY (really, 3 very's are in order!) important conference call. Argh!

Oh well...Happy Friday!

Oh, how cute!

Head on over here to see two of the cutest little girls ever...my nieces! You won't be sorry. :)

Hula Hoopin' Fool

Last night I was putting in some serious work with the Wii Fit. Towards the end I was spending a lot of time on the hula hoop exercise. I was really killing it...until I wasn't. Apparently hula-ing the hoop is too intense for my poor old back...it is killing me!!! My regimen of ice packs and icy hot is just not cutting it. Right about now I am really regretting breaking up with my Chiropractor. I may have to grovel my way back there if this doesn't clear up soon. :) I sure wish my Dad, who happens to be my favorite Chiropractor, made house calls!

In my defense, my back was still a bit skiwampus (sp?) from my last car accident, but I honestly thought that I could handle the hoop. I better stick to the yoga exercises for awhile! Man, I feel old!!

I *heart* Tina Fey!!

This clip is a little long, but every second of it is hilarious. I have never been a huge SNL fan, but this Palin stuff is too good!!

SATC

For all of you Sex and the City fans, head on over to iTunes...they have a FREE behind the scenes exclusive clip available for download.

I loved the movie!! Although I had already seen it a couple of times I bought it the day it came out. It's an extended version and has an bonus disk with a bunch of extras, plus deleted scenes. I love seeing all of the behind the scenes footage and what it takes to put movies together!

Wanna buy a house?

Yesterday we attended a fabulous Modern Homes Tour that consisted of five homes through the Seattle area. I brought my camera so that I could snap a few pictures, but never got aroudn to pulling it out of my bag. Check out their site, they have some great shots. While they were all amazing homes, modern architecture is not the direction I would like to go. Rob on the other hand was ready to hop on board. He really liked the minimalist look they used in their decorating. Me, I am a huge shopper/junk collector/hoarder and am anti-minimalist. I need a house with plenty of room for displaying and storage! We are still working on finding something that suits both of us. At two of the locations they had putting greens. Each person who could sink a hole in one scored a Starbucks gift card. Putting extraordinaire Rob snagged us two gift cards and I managed to get one myself.

We spent a few hours on the tour, visited his Auntie in the hospital and stopped by Bellevue Square for some Red Mango before heading home. I am still feeling yucky and was exhausted. I was in bed by 9:00!

Best impulse buy ever!!

Well, maybe not ever, but definitely the best one this week. I was waiting in the LONGEST line at Staples the other day when my eyes wandered onto this shiny baby...

...as soon as my gaze locked, I knew I had to have it. I had forgotten about it until this afternoon and have been on a labeling spree ever since. So now everything in purse/computer case has been tagged in metallic silver. I even drew silver dots on my bright red toenails. This is what happens we I am home from work and hopped up on DayQuil & Sudafed. I took the DayQuil and wasn't feeling much better. Turns out it expired in February of last year, so I popped two Sudafed, then I was feeling pretty good. That's not good though, huh? I had better check the expiration date on the NyQuil before I take it...

Casual Friday...to the extreme

I woke up this AM with a cold...I don't feel good!! I didn't want to go to work, but figured I am up anyways, I will go for awhile. I had been freezing all morning, so I pushed past the stacks of capri's in my closet in search of some long pants. There was a lonely pair cast off on the end of the shelf, so I grabbed them, wondering why they were all on their own. Then I remembered that these were the most comfortable casual jeans ever...perfect for feeling crappy at work. Yes! I will wear them today...it's Friday anyways. So once I get to work I realize that they are a little too baggy and I am feeling slightly sloppy. I chalk it up to casual Friday and plan to stay seated in my office so no one will see me. A few hours into work, I take a big lean back in my chair and notice that something feels different in my pants area. It then all comes rushing back to me...I remember why these jeans were cast off into the corner of my closet shelf...oh no!!!

Yep, I am sporting jeans with a big hole in the butt! Feeling slightly mortified, I dash off to the bathroom to see how bad it is. After glancing at myself in the mirror I tell myself that it isn't that bad. It matched the distressed wash of the jeans, right? So, I run/walk back to my office to grab my phone so that I can take a picture. It took about 14 tries to get the right picture. I opted for a close, close, close up because I am not brave enough to post a picture of my entire bum online. Coward!!

As if my day wasn't dumpy enough, a co-worker walked in on me taking a shot of said hole. Weird, right? I kind of explained to her what I was doing and she laughed at me. What else had I expected? Whatever...I knew I should not have come to work today...I am going home.

Leaves are falling all around!

All throughout the day I have been watching leaves fall off of the trees outside my office window. It has put me in such a great mood! I have been so excited for the Fall, but the last week or so has been an extension of summer...it was in the high eighties for the past few days (boo!).

I think that this weekend may include a nice drive in the mountains to check out the foliage.

Hooray for the Fall!!
