Flyin' By

Boy, it seems like the weekend just flew by! We had a pretty eventful weekend, I suppose. Saturday was Geoff's graduation for his Pharmacy Technician program. It was a nice ceremony and I'm so proud of him - he was one of only 5 students in the entire graduating class who recieved the highest honors (note the yellow tassles). Last night we finally did the pumpkin carving (at the expense of missing Desperate Housewives...I don't wanna talk about...

Trunk-or-Treat

Aside from the fact that trunk-or-treat makes no sense (give me a treat or I'll trunk you!), we had the oppotunity to take Rubio to his very first trunk-or-treat last night. Haha. Everyone else brings their kids all decked out in their Halloween costumes - us? We bring our dog dressed as a lobster. He was a hit! And he made a great addition to our trunk which had battery operated eyeball lights, "caution" tape, pumpkins, and plenty of candy. The...

Overly Excited or Too Easily Amused? You Decide.

My excitement from the weekend:Well, it finally happened...we bought storage cubes for the living room! Okay, so storage cubes weren't always the plan to put next to the expedit, but they look amazing and finally give a home to some odds and ends in our apartment that had yet to find a home (after 3 months in the apartment!). They look sleek and clean and I'm so glad to have a place for all the things in my lovely little apartment that I love.I was...

I will flourish

So, Tissa sent me this, and number 13 got me to thinking."About 17 percent of Americans are flourishers, says a study in American Psychologist. They have a positive outlook on life, a sense of purpose and community, and are healthier than "languishers"—about 10 percent of adults who don't feel good about themselves."I'd like to be considered a part of that 17 percent (and with the addition of B Vitamins to my diet, I'm getting closer!). But, what...

Oddities

Things are moving along.Last weekend I went on a "girl's weekend" with Tissa, Amanda E, and Joanna. We stayed in a cute little hotel, ate at cafes, sat in the hot tub, floated in the naturally warm water of The Crater , shopped in Park City, and froze in the first snow of the season (what season is it, anyway?).Rubio wore his coat for the first time this season on Sunday(pictures pending). It was much more snug this year than last year - but still...

Pre-emption is Lame!

While our trip to San Antonio was a blast and well worth the effort to blog, a very important event has gotten overlooked. One, I must mention, I believe to be of the utmost importance. MY BIRTHDAY!I briefly mentioned it in my San Antonio blog, but feel inclined to elaborate on the wonderfulness that was my day.The day before my birthday (since the actual 1st of October was mostly spent on a plane), I had a couple celebrations. Latissa, Amanda E,...

Blog blog blog...

So, this is my very first blog on our site and I am (as usual) at a loss of words to begin my thoughts. Lets see, Amanda was right when she said that we survived a trip to San Antonio, while it was a good experience what she failed to mention was that I was fairly sick the entire trip. Because the food wasn't very enjoyable and I wasn't feeling particularly wonderful our dinning experiences were complete flops for me. I really didn't eat more then 1 thing that was delicious. The "meal" (*shutters*) that I did like was a very large baked potato...

Texas Trippin'

Well, Geoff and I successful survived our trip to San Antonio (along with a handful of my co-workers).We left on Wednesday (Oct 1) to spend my birthday traveling. The day did begin with a wake-up to a happily decorated house, bouncy music (blaring from my brand new iPod touch!), and lots of love from my handsome hubby. We ended up leaving a few minutes behind schedule and hopped in the car to find an illuminated "gas" light. Ugh. We stopped to get...
