Super Bowl Weekend!

Two and a half more hours...two and a half more hours....
Why is this day going by so slow?!?
I'm gonna try to hang in there and finish out the day..but it's gonna be hard!

So, this weekend is going to be fun! Tonight, we're going to Mark's birthday party!! Should be really fun.

Tomorrow, Amber and I are going to run some errands and then at night, Garret and I are going to Carlos' to watch the UFC Fights!

George St. Piere vs. BJ Penn. Hope it's bloody.

After the fights, we're heading to Korea Town for Judy's birthday bash! It's a kareoke party and if I have a few drinks first, I will get on stage and perform. Lol. And if that does happen, I will make sure Garret takes plenty of embarassing pictures to blog with!

And then on Sunday...it's Super Bowl!!!!!!!!!! Go Cardinals! I don't know much about either team but I want to root for the under dog. Also...I hope I win Garret's Super Bowl pool! That would be some nice cash money money for our up-coming events!

I hope everyone has a great weekend....

*BTW Julie Sanford....I really missed our e-mails today... :(

Happy Birthday, Judy!!!

Today is Judy's birthday! Demetria, Keri and I got to work extra early to decorate for Judy. I got the decorations last night and went with a Mardi Gras theme. So cute! I got little masks for us all to wear...and one big one for Judy to rock.

Keri also got a cake, which I personalized with pink frosting (just for Judy).

And we picked up Wing Stop for lunch...which was especially delicious (and sooooo not on my diet). Judy left a little early so she could spend the rest of the day at DisneyLand...

I hope you had a fun birthday, Judy! We LOVE you!!!!
We thought we looked like super heroes in our masks....

Fish are friends...not food.

Happy Monday!

This week is already starting out great! My friend at work, Keri, gave Demetria and I fighting beta fish! It's so cool. It is this big bowl with a plant inside that the fish can eat off of. Keri even had our fish personalized. My pebbles and bow are black (because I love black) and my fish is even black! He has a little green in him, which is cool.
I named him Sirius Black (that is the name of Harry Potter's godfather...and I L-O-V-E Harry Potter movies). Sirius loves me. He follows my finger and just stares at me all day.

Demetria's fish is named Buddy Blue. Buddy is dark blue with bright blue highlights. He hates Demetria but we're hoping he warms up.

Keri has a red one named Phoenix (after a X-Men character).

These fish have made my day. I can't wait to watch Sirius grow up!

You know what shows up after it rains, right?

RAINBOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love my girls at work. We have a blast. We love getting obsessed with the most ridiculous things. Our obsession recently has been M&M's. I'm the green, Demi is the blue, Judy is yellow and Keri is red.
But yesterday, we started talking about Rainbow Brite and Strawberry Shortcake. We started google-ing and we found out that we are all Rainbow Brite characters! So now, of course, we are obsessed with that (in fact, Judy has already blogged about our characters).

Judy is Tickled Pink
Demi is Indigo
Keri is Stormy
Melanie is Shy Violet
Rovy is Moonglow
and I'm....


*****RAINBOW BRITE*****

Oooooo yeaaaaa!

Anyway, it's almost the weekend. 40 more minutes.
I can't wait...the week went by so slow...and this weekend is going to be a blast!
Have a great weekend!!!

Bronzed Buns

One more day and it's Friday!!! This week has been CRAWLING along.
So, I bought a tanning membership today. The place is called Bronzed Buns. My co-workers seem to be pretty amused by the name of it...LOL. I'm going to try and tan every lunch hour during the week. I'm hoping to be pretty tan by the Vegas trip in March!!!
Not much to blog about today....except that my friend Kristen just sent me new pictures of her beautiful baby girl, Madison!
She is already 4 weeks!!! She is so adorable....



She is so pretty, Kris...and I love that headband she is rocking!!!

It's a boy!


My friend at work, Keri, has had such trouble finding out the sex of her baby! She is due late March and until yesterday, they couldn't tell if the baby was a boy or girl. She did a 3D ultrasound yesterday and just like she suspected, it was a boy! She already has 2 boys so this will complete her mini-basketball team!!!
Can't wait to meet little Julius.
Congratulations, Keri!

Yes We Can!

Today, we make history. Our first black president. I hope everyone gets a chance to watch us welcome our new President and kick out our old, sorry ass, idiot of a president, George W!

I'm hoping Obama can really live up to his promises and turn our country around.

Below is a video that is pretty funny....
"Waiting on Obama"

God Bless America!

This is for Becca

Park Slideshow!

Chickens at the park!


Cerritos Park!
















This weekend was pretty easy-going. We went to Cowboy Country on Friday night with Jack and Bacon..which was really fun!

On Saturday, Amie was having a BBQ at the park so we headed over there and met up with Amber, Greg and the girls. I played with the girls on the playground for quite some time! We traveled to different lands, rode a dinosaur and did a treasure hunt! We took a break and Garret and I walked them down to the pond to feed the ducks. Madison liked the geese (or as she called them, the Chickens). They both loved feeding all the birds and ducks. Uncle Garret picked them up and pretended to toss them into the pond, which Kaitlyn loved!

It was a fun trip to the park!

Madison & Kaitlyn riding a dino!

The wait is over...it's Friday!




An hour left of work and then the weekend officially starts!
I'm hoping this weekend is relaxing and entertaining at the same time!!!
We're going to Cowboy Country tonight with some friends (side note: I just went on the Cowboy Country website and under "Halloween 2008 pictures", there was me and Garret! We look pretty freakin' cute...the picture is above!)

I want to get a lot of sleep this weekend...drink a lot of Corona and spend a lot of quality time with Garret.
I hope everyone has a great weekend! I'll try to take pictures of my weekend adventures so I have something to blog about on Monday!!!

Welcome to the world, Madison!


My good friend Kristen finally popped and had a beautiful baby girl named Madison!!! (See above picture!!!)

She is adorable. I have not been able to see her yet...hopefully we can finally find time this weekend!

I am so happy for Kristen...I remember the day she told me she was pregnant!!!

I got to work super early on her birthday and set up cupcakes and champagne all over our office. I also put signs up and down the hall that led to our office. The signs said things like "Happy Birthday, Kristen!" "Party this way!".. etc.

And we had a really fun birthday party for her...just us three in our office.

I kept trying to make her drink more champagne but she wouldn't....then the very next day, she told me she was pregnant! She had been throwing her champagne in the trash so it looked like she drank!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to see Madison. I know she will grow into a beautiful woman...just like her mom.

Love you, Kris!!!!

Confessions of a Shop-a-holic

Dear Diary,

I am addicted to shopping!!! Above is a picture of the purse Garret got me for Christmas. It's the love of my life (besides Garret)!!!
It's a Tory Burch clutch. It's so pretty. Buttery, brown leather with a gold chain link handle. To die for.
Speaking of which, I am on a budget recently. I'm trying to save money and lately, I've been doing really well! But I had a relapse today. Work was stressful so I went to Nordstrom Rack during my lunch break. I told myself I wouldn't spend over $20 (and Demetria and Keri were supposed to limit me...) but
I ended up finding an older Tory Burch bag (Spring '08) and it was about half off!!! I tried to find a picture to post but I can't find it...
Then, I found a really cute Volcom l/s tee for camping. Only $12.00
STEAL.
So I'm on a tight, tight, TIGHT budget until Friday...
Wish me luck!!!!!!!!

The 2nd Happiest Place on Earth

Check out our "fly" shades at the Bug's Life show!
Look at this weird outfit behind me!

WTF


Garret on the bug bumper cars

The 1st is obviously Disney WORLD!!!

Garret and I went to Disney and California Adventure on Sunday. Really fun and really hot!

We started out at California Adventure. We waited in line for Mullholland Madness and right before it was our turn, the ride broke and they made everyone exit the line.

WACK.

Then, we walked over to the new Toy Story ride. That was closed too!!! So disappointing.

But we still have a fun day. Got some ice cream, rode a few rides and spent some quality time together.

Garret bought us season passes for my birthday in November so we're trying to go at least once a month. Hopefully we will be able to ride the new Toy Story ride next month!!!

Monster Jam!!!!

Me & Garret <3



Our favorite...Maximum Destruction!!!




The Triceratops Truck

Tawny & Andrew


David & Michelle

Ninja Turtle & Grave Digger

On Saturday night, me, Garret and some friends went to Monster Jam at Angel Stadium. It was my first time going and Garret hadn't been in years.

Tickets were cheap, about $15, and the seats were in the ABSOLUTE last row of the stadium. Surprisingly, we could see everything and the seats weren't bad at all!
It was a-w-e-s-o-m-e.
I want to go again so bad! The trucks were HUGE and some of them were so cute! There was a ninja turtle truck, triceritops truck, Grave Digger and me and Garret's favorite, Maximum Destruction!!! I have a theory that the whole show is rigged though! They totally let Grave Digger win.
Anyway! The trucks raced each other, drove over other cars, flipped, lost wheels, etc. It was the coolest show ever.
I will attend Monster Jam every year for the rest of my life!

Happy New Year! 2009 is going to be amazing!!


I'm back! I'm going to try to blog consistently now...so we'll see if that works out!!!
2008 was a great year! To celebrate the end of '08 and the beginning of '09, Garret and I went to Cal City, CA!


We spent a few days with some great friends (Julie, Kyle, Ryan, Carrie and Garret's bro and Vic), went QUADDING and drank and drank and drank! It was so much fun. I want to take more trips like that this year. Hopefully Julie and Kyle will let Garret and I tag along every once in awhile!!!


I really enjoy quadding now. In fact, Garret and I went to Chapparal the other day and I got my own riding gear!

Now all I need is a quad.....
