Soon to be Jordan's Birthday Present

This is the only time I have been allowed in 3 years of marriage to combine Jordan's birthday and Christmas presents. He passed his test for his license yesterday and will be going tomorrow to buy this bike most likely. It is a really nice bike, 2007 with 577 miles on it. Next year's present...put bike on trailer, drive to California, drive bike to Laker's game at the Staples center. Am I a good wife or what?

George Mitchell

Roger Clemens, huh? Big surprise. Pitchers don't get better the older they get.

Sister coming to visit!

My little sister, Danie is coming to visit tomorrow with my momma. (No she is not the goofy person in the blue shirt!) We will probably do some Christmas decorating, put up my first ever Christmas tree, have an all around super time.....(as long as there is no flannel involved!)

We had a great time in Austin this weekend with Brownie and Ass Gagger! I will post pictures shortly, I promise. There are some pretty super ones!

In less than 2 days...

These two crazy people will be at my house...wooo hooo!

Going to go see Dane Cook Sept. 7th at the Toyota Center! Someone has shit on the coats...

Glamorous politician wants law to allow 7-year itch

Nice little follow up to NBN's blog about the German Chancellor. This is a fellow party member, Gabriele Pauli and she is proposing that after 7 years of marriage, a couple has the option to renew their marriage or to just cancel it, no strings attached. Very interesting concept. What happens when one does want to renew and the other doesn't?

They are cheering for me!

My First Football Game

We went to see the Houston Texans play the KC Chiefs. Jordan is a Chiefs fan and man did they play badly, so it was kind of a bummer but it was still a lot of fun. We had some definite nose bleed seats and i had to wear my glasses to see the field!

Key West, Florida...very relaxing vacation.

Jordan took down not 1 but 2 fishing poles in 1 week...my great-uncle just kept shaking his head and laughing.

We arrived in Miami late on Friday after having a couple of hour delay in Houston. We made our way into Continental's President Club while in Houston because Jordan's step-dad happened to be stranded too and he got us in. Open Bar...'nuf said. By the time we arrived in Miami we were a little bit hammered. While waiting for my mom, we saw a Porshe and a BMW, both with Miami Heat License plates...the drivers were short white guys so we assumed they were waiting for someone else. My mom rolled up in the rented Mini Van...what, what! We drove to West Palm Beach and spent two nights, hanging out with family. Then, we were off to the Keys. On the way, we stopped back in Miami to pick up my mom's best friend and her husband.

When we got to our home for the next week, we were greeted by tiny Key Deer. Nothing like the big Colorado deer. We stayed at a fishing lodge in Big Pine Key, where my great-uncle lives for the most of the summer in an RV and docks his boat. He and Jordan made fast friends when we walked up to my uncle's camp area and there was a fully stocked bar. When Jordan asked for bourbon, my uncle said, "Well, i accidentally bought Jim Beam Black instead of Jack Daniels. Do you mind?" Did he mind? Nope, it was love. The week consisted of fishing on his boat everyday, lots of drinking, great food and of course, Karaoke. My mom sang for the first time and had a blast, especially after a shot of, ew, barf, Cuervo. Jordan blew everyone away with Folsom Prison Blues. Or maybe it was just the alcohol but damn he sounded like Johnny Cash. We also went Lobster fishing every day which means you snorkel around and if you spot two little antennae coming out of a hole you dive down to the bottom with a net and a "tickler" to coax the lobster into your net. Those suckers are quick. My uncle caught a couple but he is an old pro and the rest of us just kicked around pretending like we knew what we were doing. The 2 Moray eel that we spoted made me a little reluctant to stick the tickler into any hole...hahaha...

We went to Key West the last night and did the tourist thing. Key West has no open container policy, so it is basically one big pub crawl. At every bar, you can get a souvenir cup with something called either Pirate's Punch or Captain Tony's Punch. Captain Tony's was where Jimmy Buffet started, playing for $10 and a couple of Budweisers.

Anyone want to go next year? NBN...C4....hint hint hint....

Colorado Trip August 2007

2 coats down...1 (or 2) to go. This is going to be my new favorite room when it is done. On one side, I am going to put two big comfy chairs in front of the fireplace and a couple of bookshelves on the wall. Jordan wants to build a wet bar for the other side of the room. Any other ideas?

Monk and Snoop Dog

There is nothing like seeing Monk and Snoop Dogg on TV together. Snoop's name on the show was Murderuss. Murderuss was being set up for the murder of rival rapper Extra Large. Art reflecting life?

DTR's HAREM

At work, we were both having rough days and decided to bring the dogs in to uplift our mood. We don't allow the dogs on furniture at home but decided it was funny at work. Allie would only get on my chair if I wasn't in the room and Brinkley decided she just had to be in the chair even though she couldn't fit. Should I carry Brinkley around in a purse like Paris Hilton?

Report: Lakers, Fisher agree to 3-year, $14 million deal

Derek Fisher is a Laker again. I don't know how much this will appease Kobe but it's a step. He wanted to move back to LA to get treatment for his 1 year old daughter who has a rare form of eye cancer. I think that it was really decent of Utah to let him go so that he could move.

Ahhh only a face a wife could love? Just kidding. We bought our tickets for Colorado! We will be there August 10-13th for my friend Jenny's wedding. Yeah! It seems like our life is all about when we can next go to back to Colorado and visit Nick and Kara...I don't think we realized how nice it is to actually have friends! When I become super rich (yeah right) I will buy a house in Colorado and a jet to get us there! One can dream right?

Ahhh babies. Jordan's cousin Crissy just had baby number two on Sunday night. Blake was born right before midnight 5lbs, 10 oz. He was about 4 weeks early but is doing just fine. He is a very cute baby. While Blake was being born, I babysat big sister Maren for about 24 hours. I have realized I am not quiet ready for kids. Maren is 2 going on 20. And she is pretty easy to deal with for a two year old. Of course, my mom (who is seriously ready to be a grandma) told me that it's TOTALLY different when they are your own child. hmmmm....I guess!

Interviewing

I am trying to hire a Spanish speaking admin assistant and someone suggested Craig's List. The first two days my add was online, I received 12 resumes. Everyone was pretty well qualified. I scheduled all of the interviews for this week. So far, I have had 2 people not show for their interview, no phone call, nothing. What is wrong with these people? GRRRRR....

What did they do to my dog?

So, I take Brinkley to the groomer's and she comes back with pink bows! It's cute and nauseating at the same time. What a hoochie!
