I want to achieve the most at my job.I just want to DO it all!...

May the [Fargo] Force be with you.

I attended my first hockey game last night. My office had a box at the Fargo Force game. Going into the game, I knew very little about hockey. I learned a lot.Things I didn't expect to see at a hockey game:An organist. For some reason an organ feels like a baseball-only kind of instrument. Who knew.An indoor blimp. This was pretty sweet.A between-period tricycle race on the ice (four little kids). Big wheels don't drive very well on ice. It was like...

Girls' Night Out

On the menu for AP tonight:Rejuvinating 30 Minute Facial (Cleanse, Mask, Peptide Serum, and Moisturizer)Relaxing Neck MassageMake-up ApplicationDiet SodaAll courtesy of Image Medi Spa.

I'm very excited for some pampering. I'm going with a co-worker since we both agreed...

The Wet Blanket

"Wet Blanket": n. A person who takes the fun out of a situation or activity, as by pessimism, demands, dullness, etc.I explained to Geoff last night that I think I'm a wet blanket.The conversation went like this:Geoff: Huh?Me: You've never heard that phrase? It's someone who sucks the fun out of everything.Geoff: Really? I would think a dry blanket had more sucking power then a wet one.Me: Psh. No, imagine this, you are ready to have a picnic, and...

Recently in Fargo

Okay, so I have really nothing much to say. But I know that inquiring minds out there wonder what's going on out here in Far to the Go, so here's a little update.Rom has embraced his love for the balcony. If given the choice, he will sit out there all day and just stare. Sometimes people walk by, or cars drive around, but for the most part, I've got no idea what he finds so interesting. Must be that schnauz of his, smelling all the delcious smells....

Confessions

I have some confessions I've been meaning to get off my chest:1) I LOVE the ABC Family show Make it or Break it. Geoff doesn't mind that I like it because he can sit next to me and play violent video games while I catch up on the latest episode. 2) If Disney created her, I like her music. This includes (but is not limited to) Aly and AJ, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez and Ashley Tisdale. (Although I am trying to act like a grown up and try out some new...

Philanthropic Parkers

Geoff and I joined the Allegiance Software team on Monday as volunteers for Prairie Public (the local PBS station). They are in the middle of their pledge drive, so we took pledges. It was a good time. And, we got to have this snazzy picture on TV. Hello. First our apartment is on the web, then my picture is on a poster at BYU...and now, local TV? Fantastic.I'm practically famo...

Pros and Cons of the Weekend

Pros of our Trip to Minneapolis:1) Fantastic hotel room for the price of a smelly, unwashed room.2) A four-story mall with a theme park in the middle and an aquarium underneath.3) Free refills on Diet Mt. Dew as long as we didn't lose our cups and didn't mind walking back to the same stop to get the refill.4) A much welcome break from regular life and a "honeymooner" feeling in the air.5) IKEA.Cons:1) We didn't buy nearly enough stuff. ;-)2) Leaving...

Hauling @$$

So, Geoff and I have got ourselves a pretty nifty home gym setup going on. We found (at a local pawn shop) a Bowflex. Geoff was super excited to have one, and this was a killer deal, so we bought it right up. With the Passat out of commission, we went to pick up our Bowflex in the Mercedes. I have an, admittedly, poor sense of sizing, apparently, because I was sure the Bowflex would fit without a problem in the Merc. And, while it did fit, it did...
