My lunchtime purchase...
My kind of humor.
Anyone that knows me well, knows that I think bathroom humor is hilarious.
I can't help myself but chuckle (or laugh out loud) if someone lets one rip!
I think I mentioned in the past that I have fart sound applications on my iPod touch. Interestingly enough, this was a story this morning on the Denver Post.
I still love the snow...
From the time I left work yesterday to the time I walked in the garage door, it took me three hours to get home.
Sheesh.
That will teach me to take the bus when it's snowing out! Last time I bitched because it took me two hours to drive 20 miles... this time I'm bitching because so many people got out of work early due to road conditions that it took three hours to get home!
Next time, I will drive OR just stay home and enjoy the snow! :D
I must say, as much as people dislike the snow in the metro area here, I love it! I actually don't care much about how long it took me to get home, I'd just rather be sitting in my car instead of in a bus station with ~400 other people trying to get home as well!
After getting home G and I took the dogs across the street to the giant lawn to play in the snow. Erie ended up getting about 16 inches of snow yesterday (it was almost up to my knees). G and I took turns shoveling the driveway and about every five minutes I told him I wanted a snow blower! (Anyone want to donate to the G&K Snow Blower Fund?) Truthfully, shoveling snow isn't that bad and a good replacement for the gym! Lol.
The rest of the evening was spent sipping Coronas and lime and watching Hulu on the Mac Mini.
This morning I got up at my regular time because my start time at work was dependent on the road conditions this morning. My supervisor told me she was going to call between 6:30 and 7 this morning and let me know if she thought I should come in. I had my fingers, toes, eyes, legs... everything crossed that I wouldn't have to come in so that I could head up to Breckenridge with G to ride for the day. Of course though, it's sunny in Denver today and the roads are clearing up nicely, so I'm unfortunately working 9-6 today... ick.
I also have to add that G ended up being a better sport yesterday. After waiting at the bus station yesterday for almost an hour and a half, my dumb ass realized that there was an alternate bus that ran to my park-n-Ride. After I told G I realized this, he told me he was already waiting at the other pnR that I told him to meet me at. Oops. It then took him 30 minutes to drive six miles home. I appreciated his efforts more after he stopped being a butthead on the phone.
This is what it looked like from 7am - 7pm yesterday, as well as why G didn't attempt to make it downtown yesterday.
Like it's my fault...
Did you know that I'm in control of the weather AND my employer's decisions?
Bet you didn't and I bet no one else did, because I certainly didn't until a couple minutes ago.
Apparently, G did though, because he's giving me a hard time about having to pick me up.
Due to this:
my employer has requested that I take a half day and leave early (since I took the bus), to ensure that I have a way home since 1) I opted to not take them up on their offer for a hotel room to stay downtown tonight and 2) because this weather is not suppose to let up for quite some time.
Unfortunately, because I choose to take the bus to save money on gas and parking, the bus that I normally take only runs in the morning and in the afternoon.
Therefore, I have to take another bus to another park-n-Ride that my car is NOT parked at. Therefore, G has to pick me up (and have it interfere with his day), take me to get my car (another couple miles down the road) and is making a major stink about it.
I didn't do this on purpose. I'm not trying to ruin his day off. This was not my choice. I'm doing what I'm told.
Gah, what is it called when guys have their version of PMS. I think it's called "someone shit in my cereal this morning."
And I'm glad to report that I'm lost almost ten pounds. Hmmmpf!
Finally.
I have been spoiled.
My first winter in Colorado was a mild one. I have yet to see a "big" snowfall or winter storm. The most snow I've seen accumulate at our house or downtown has maybe been five inches.
Well, today, a day short of one week into spring, it's my lucky day.

G says he hopes that I can get home today... I hope so too! I took the bus today and I think those things run regardless of the weather. I have to say, I'm glad I have a car with 4WD, even if it happens to be a Jeep!
BEST moisturizer ever. Ever. EVER.
I discovered this little gem when we were in Breckenridge, staying at a family's cabin.
I was getting ready in the downstairs bathroom, to stay out of everyone elses way, but didn't have my moisturizer because G had taken it.
So, I decided to be a bit nosy and see what they had in their medicine cabinet. I didn't think that they'd miss a dallop of lotion.
The owner of the cabin happened to have a sample of this miraculous goo, so I tried it. It was like having the Dew Fairy come and sprinkle my face with glorious moisture!
If you live anywhere the air is dry at all, you know how it feels to have you skin too dry and totally parched.
This is the best stuff I've EVER used on my face! It's not greasy, it's super smooth and silky, my face doesn't get greasy through the day like it did with my other face creams, it makes an awesome primer for makeup, and it lasts all day, even on little dry patches!
It can be a bit pricey ($34 for 1.7 oz. at Macy's), but I grabbed it on eBay for $8.99 shipped. (By the way, I love eBay simply for those deals!)
There are 25 reviews HERE on macys.com and they're all 5 of 5 stars, and all would recommend the product to a friend.
Love Dad
Dad: By the way... do you wear a helmet when you're snowboarding? (smiley face with heart)
Me: I do! (smiley face)
Dad: Good girl! (BIG smiley face)
Me (in an e-mail to him yesterday): Just wanted to show you my awesome head protector!
Dad (e-mail response): That makes me happy! You're much too young, vibrant and beautiful to spend the rest of your life sitting immobile in a chair, drooling on yourself. The helmet looks good!
Love Dad
THANKS DAD! Always putting things in perspective! Hahaha.
It's the first day of Spring, already?
Today is the first day of Spring!
Wow, where have the first three months of 2009 gone?
Has it really been two months since my birthday already?
Have we really been homeowners for almost four months now?
And G and I have been dating for four years and six months?
Springtime to me makes me think about three day weekends, the 4th of July, baseball games, and sitting in the grass on a warm day with a cool breeze blowing past you.
Although I love the snow and throughly enjoy snowboarding, the weather that Spring brings is liberating. I'm looking forward to skirts, tank-tops, and flip-flops. I'm looking forward to not layering my clothes to go outside and being comfortable in what I'm wearing.
I'm also really looking forward to experiencing my first home game of the season for the Rockies. It just happens to be on Good Friday (April 10th) and I get that day off!
The other events I'm really looking forward to are the 4th of July and the Hot Air Baloon Festival. We live in a golf community called Vista Ridge and every year they put on their own show of fireworks. Our driveway is right across the street from a huge park, where most go to sit to watch the show, and we have a perfect view from our driveway. We're planning on having a BBQ and people over for the afternoon and evening to watch the show! I'm very excited. There's also the annual Erie Town Fiar Hot-Air Ballon Festival on May 16th! They lauch them off of the golf course here... and I can't wait to take some pictures of that!
