Have you heard about this new phenomenon? I guess in Europe these are the new craze. Tiny pigs that were bread to get approx. 10-15 lbs. full grown. Not that many people in the US have heard of them yet (at least I haven't) but I am very excited because my youngest sister Natalie is on the waiting list for one currently- her Christmas present from Greg. There is some breeder in Michigan, I guess... so I will keep you posted as the details become more clear. I am just hoping she gets it by Christmas so I can play with it for a few days! I mean, look how cute they are!!!!! So, so, so excited.Friday, October 30, 2009

Random thought of the day
Does any one else think it is really weird/stupid when married, engaged or dating couples have an actual conversation on each other's facebook wall- with each other? I think sending an email or calling would be much faster, easier.

On my mind
Thoughts on this for anyone who might read this post:
Saturday night Adam and I were leaving the club in LA and there is a guy standing outside of it with roses. He says "a rose for the lady?" to Adam. Adam just looks at him and says "dude, we are married and when you get to that point, we are over the roses"
Excuse me??? WRONG. I think this is something we might have to discuss. My comment back to Adam was actually something along the line of "Roses get you sex" Sorry for any mothers who happen to read this... but seriously? Men- Women love little gifts no matter what. Can someone relay that to Adam please?
Other quick updates:
-Going on week 2 without a car. Should have it back by Friday. Probably one the most frustrating feelings. I got onto Adam last night about figuring out his car situation since it has been sitting in our garage for almost 6months.
-Tyson has week 2 of obedience class tonight. I will be walking 2.5 miles there and back (5miles round trip) because we don't have a car. But I love class!! It is sooooo cute and he did a really good job last week. (he acts like a perfect angel for the instructor... she even commented to me "wow- does he already know this stuff?") Ummm... NO, not at all and he does not act this good at home.
Anyways, Happy Tuesday!

The Fabulous Life of Adam and Emily
This weekend was our much anticipated trip to LA to visit Elizabeth and her boyfriend Evan. I was completely bummed when I found out this was homecomeing weekend (missed the pi phi's this weekend), but I have to say it was quite a weekend. We did pretty much two things the entire three days we were there... drink and eat.
I would love to post pics from this weekend, but as I have mentioned previously, Tyson thought that my cord was his chew toy and therefore don't know how to post them. I need Adam to help me later. Friday night - we went out in Manhattan Beach. We went to a super casual, hole-in-the-wall type place that served Fanta Shots! Yep, these are their popular shots that everyone goes there to take. Combination of Fanta and Vodka- yum! Genious! These shots were approx. the same size (maybe a little smaller) than o-bombs, so needless to say, it was a fun night. The total amount of Fanta Shot cups we counted on our table when we left was over 50. Us four did not take all 50, but still.... a lot. Elizabeth apparently was blacked out and decided she wanted to dance in her underwear that night when we got home and run around outside and knock on her neighboor's door. It was hilarious, because she is NOT like that EVER and didn't have any recollection of that 15 mins of her life the next morning.
Saturday. Hollywood night. Evan (Elizabeth's Boyfriend) is best friends with JC Chasez from N Sync. Anyone who knew me in Jr. High and High School knows I am one of the hugest NSync fans alive. I know every lyric to every song and literally used to cry at their concerts. So when I found out the plan was to stay at his house (amazing) in the Hollywood hills that night, I almost had a heart attack!!!!!!! So, this is where we spent the majority of Saturday night pre-drinking and then coming back to after the club. JC was actually really sick, so he didn't come out with us and I didn't get to see him as much as I would have liked, but I was in heaven the whole time and consistantly having to remind myself to "play it cool".
I was a little bummed, I didn't get "found" while I was there, but there is always next time! I was very excited we got to meet up with the Kelly twins on Saturday. I never get to see them and Courtney was in Denver last week and Ashley is coming for Halloween, so it was awesome saying bye to them and being like "see you in a few days!".
XOXO. Good to catch up on blogging!

I love American Airlines
Not really. Last Wednesday was such a cluster of a day, it still annoys me to think about it. You all know my car situation, so last week's work trip was slightly difficult to pull off at 4am.
Summary of the day:
-Wake up at 4am, put on a suit for the day
-Blizzard in Denver
-Have to take a cab (since I don't have a car) to the airport... cab is late picking me up
-Cab fair -$75
-The slowest cab driver EVER on the face of the planet when it comes to paying with a credit card
-3-5 mins past the American Airlines 45 minutes cut off for checking bags.
-Plead my case (I cannot carry on because have packed for almost a week worth of travels)
-The rude lady will not let me check my bag and insists it will have to go on a later flight
-Land at DFW airport- get rental car and go to work all day
-Finish work, drive BACK up to DFW to get bag
-(Have a mentioned yet that I haven't even eaten yet today? It is approx. 5pm by now- seriously, not one thing yet)
-I am starving, annoyed and sooooooo tired
-It has been pouring down rain in Ft. Worth all day
-Finally get to hotel, order a whole pizza for myself
-Internet and cable won't work because they have dish network and since it is horrible weather, can't find the satellite.
-Sit there... waiting... for the pizza.... nothing to do at this point
-Pizza comes... eat two pieces... find a hair on it.... and throw the rest away.
What a day!

Ummm...
So many posts to come, so little time. I know I have been a blogging slacker, but hold your horses folks, because I've got some good ones coming.
Yes, I am drunk right now, but let me just say that I have been trying to find internet access since wednesday and this is the first time I have found it. Keep posted...
1) My partnership with American Airlines
2) Devil Dog or Angel?

When times get tough....
For those of you who read my last post, I wrote about some car trouble Adam and I have been having....
When we moved to Denver, Adam's car was not doing too great. We took it to the shop and they quoted 1500 dollars for repair. It isn't worth that much (1995 Ford Explorer) so we decided to hold off because since I work from home, we don't necessarily need two cars. So for the last few months, we have been using my car and it has been working out OK with just the one. We have been meaning to sell Adam's car, but just haven't gotten to it yet :)
Well, last week when my parents were here, we drove my car up to the mountains (30 min drive) and it was running so sluggish (literally, I was petal to the floor and it would only go 55 ish up hill). I was getting passed by semis! So Adam and I decided to schedule a time to take it in. So this Wednesday, we tried to take my car into the shop. We go out in the morning it won't start... this is the first time this happened. When we finally get it going and up to the shop, I end up spending $1000 on repairs. You think that 1 thousand dollars will get you through for the next 6 months or so... well, not my car. The NEXT day it won't start.... long story short is it is not working what- so- ever at all. Larry Duncan and Becky Hodnefield were here this weekend and we couldn't even make it up to the mountains. We had to turn around and come back in the middle of the drive. Now it is back in the shop and I need two catalytic converters... price quote is $2700. Shoot me in the head.
Luckily, this guy is awesome (new shop). he is really nice and completely understanding. Apparently, everyone is "sold out" of their catalytic converters, so he had to go through Infiniti (which is the most expensive option). So right now, I am researching these things online and hoping to find some that will work. I will probably save around 1500 dollars if I can find some online and he is helping me research. But still.... Adam and I have no car for the time being and we have a crazy week.
Please let me know if any of you have an extra car laying around that you would like to "donate" to us.
PS- NEVER go to Pep Boys (I wrote a nasty review on them today) if anyone is interested in reading. Google Pep Boys Denver and look at the Broadway location. You mess with me, I mess with you (name that quote).
