Wanted

A goldendoodle puppy...

I have been wanting a puppy for a while now and I think these guys are the cutest. They are like golden retrievers that don't shed! Aren't they sweet?

Obsession

My roommates and I watch a pretty significant amount of TV. Certain shows are watched religiouisly. My current favorite show and obsession is Top Chef


I think one of the main reasons I am so obsessed is because two of the contestants on the show are chefs in Boulder. Hosea (who I really think has the potential to win) is still holding strong and continues to out perform his competitors. He is the head chef at Jax Fish House in Boulder

Top Chef is on every Wednesday night on Bravo. The hosts of the show even have their own blogs which I have recently started reading http://www.bravotv.com/Top_Chef/season/5/blogs/index.php

I encourage everyone who likes cooking (and/or eating) to watch this show!

All I have been able to think/talk/dream about all day is Vegas! Our flight leaves at 10:10am tomorrow and I could not be more thrilled! I am so excited to eat good food, drink yummy drinks and dance all night!

Past Vegas Trips!!

The last two times I went to Las Vegas I had SO much fun and I have a feeling my upcoming trip will not be any different! These two pictures below were taken about a year ago when I went with my company on a quarterly STARS trip. I had a blast and laughed a lot with Katie (especially when I sat on her husbands lap on his scooter) and I met Ja Rule at 9 Steakhouse at The Palms! I am hoping for some celeb sitings this trip :)



These pictures were taken on my first LEGAL trip to Las Vegas with 13 of my best girlfriends from home. We like to have reunions about once a year, so once all of us were 21 (October of our senior year in college) a trip to Vegas was in order. On this trip we saw Paris Hilton and Nick Canon at Tao - again hoping for more celeb sitings... I hope to make it back to vegas with these girls sometime soon!

Men Are Just Happier People?

My roommate received an email from her boyfriend last night containing a pretty comical forward. I agree with it for the most part but let me know what you think :)

Men Are Just Happier People

NICKNAMES
*If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah.
*If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes.

EATING OUT
*When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.
*When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

MONEY
*A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
*A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.

BATHROOMS
*A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel .
*The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.

ARGUMENTS
*A woman has the last word in any argument.
*Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new
argument.

FUTURE
*A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
*A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

SUCCESS
*A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
*A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

MARRIAGE
*A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
*A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does..

DRESSING UP
*A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants,empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.
*A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.

NATURAL
*Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
*Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

OFFSPRING
*Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children.She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
*A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!

My Happy Places

My two favorite rooms in my apartment would have to be the kitchen and my closet :)


Those of you who know me well know that I love cooking, but even more than cooking, I love doing the dishes. In the middle of December my roommates and I had about 15 girls over for a holiday dinner and some cookie decorating. I loved having everyone over and can't wait to do it again soon!



My other "happy place" in my apartment is my closet. This picture (while not the most flattering...) is of me and syd in my closet laying on the piles of clothes. Pretty typical.....

My Blog Inspiration




It has taken me a while to get this blog going and I have decided it is finally time. There are a few different reasons why I decided to blog and a few different groups of people who really inspired me to do so.....
Katie & Sarah - these two fabulous ladies were the ones who initially inspired me to start blogging. They both have fantastic blogs and I can only hope mine will one day be as fun as theirs! Oh and we are going to Las Vegas in 10 days so stay tuned for many vegas blogs to come!


The Lugs - These lovely and sometimes classy ladies are my best friends from college. No matter how often we see each other it's like it was just yesterday. I miss them so much and love reminiscing about college and monday nights whenever possible :)



The L-town girls - Last but definitely not least, these girls have been my best friends since before I can remember. We have such an amazing bond and still have a solid group of 13+ girls who see each other whenever possible. From our yearly trips to dinners at home, to crazy nights at the Charro/Roundup/Joes/Petars I love you girls and I miss you whenever we aren't together.



Anyway.... Stay tuned.... there are many fun blogs to come!
