Withdrawls

I'm going thru withdrawls beacuse I was not able to get a basket this week. I'm off to Texas for Turkey day so all my goods would spoil. Can't wait to get back into the swing of things the next few weeks. The highlight of my Saturday was waking up and working at Sam's club sampling wine...baskets are much more fun =)

I samples 4 different types of wine for 3 1/2 hrs Friday evening and Saturday afternoon which paid $18/hr. Not a bad gig and thank goodness I didn't have to wear a hair net like the food sampling Ladies...whew. Everyone was shocked that I was actually sampling wine. Oh...the best part was that on Friday during my sampling, some guy gave me a $2 tip! Whooo. Anything for some extra cash right now.

Guilty Pleasure

I do have to admit that I love getting my eyebrows waxed...so what!? Who doesn't like a little personal maintenance now and then? Its a nice half hour of gossip when you get to just lay there and get pampered. If you considered being pampered having hot wax put on your face a ripped off with a cloth. Man, there must be something seriously wrong with me if that is a pleasure...

The Results Are In

I got the results from the Iron Girl 5K race yesterday and had to share. I'm pretty proud of them considering I've been slacking off on my running...big time.
My time was 28:29, 81st place overall (out of 782) and 12th out of 136 in my age group. If that's not some encouragement and motivation to keep running, I don't know what is.

Iron Girl 2009

For the 2rd year in a row, Erin and I ran in the Iron Girl race this morning at Tempe Town Lake. We both did the 5K with Greg as our cheerleader, jacket holder, picture taker and chauffeur. It is so invigorating to have completed a race before 9am on a Sunday. Much better than waking up with a hang over =). I've been slacking off on my running but pretty happy with my race today...I saw the 3 mile sign and just started hauling butt to the finish line. I love passing people at the end!

Hello Race Fans

Today at work we had two Nascar trailers on our campus for a few hours. The US Army car and the Office Depot/Old Spice car. Check out some cool pics and get a load of the tool box, they don't mess around with their tools.

Ahhh Sunday Afternoon Naps

Who doesn't love the Sunday afternoon nap? Football is playing in the background, sun coming thru the blinds and a nice breeze from outside. I'll tell you our girls just love Sunday naps...we do too!

It's Basket Day

Yeah! Bright and early and I just picked up my basket. Lots of goodies today. I did the conventional and got bananas, cantaloupe, kiwi, oranges, apples, cucumber, tons of corn, spinach, lettuce, avocado, onions and tomatoes, all for $16.50. Getting up at 5:40 on a Saturday...all for an extra cantaloupe.

I'm one of those people

Friday I was walking thru PetSmart getting some food for the girls and was drawn to the large display of pet Halloween costumes in the middle of the store. The cute and colorful costumes were adorable and the 70% off sign was attractive too. The only costume I could find for cats were 3 unattractive collars to go around the neck. Dogs have way better costumes so I decided the girls would wear witches hats with curly green hair.

Yes, I am one of those people who will dress my pets up for Halloween. I just couldn't resist how cute and funny they look. Lani was actually enjoying it...I think it's because she always sits in my sink when I get ready and watches me do my hair and makeup...everyday. Bella just wanted to rip the darn thing off her head and eat the hair the second I put it on. At least the girls cooperated for a minute so I could snap a few photos.

Halloween

Halloween is one of the greatest holidays. Whats not to like about dressing up in a silly costume and playing the part? I love it. This year being on a big budget, I traveled to Savers and Goodwill in search for the perfect costume. I was first inspired by this awesome "Afro" wig. It was a Princess Lea style do only Afro style! Perfect...now for the costume. Being inspired by the wig I was thinking 70's disco girl until....this short blue dress gave me a whole other idea. As soon as I saw it I knew I was going to be a flight attendant right out of Catch Me If You Can. I went to a fabulous house party to celebrate one of the greatest holidays....HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
