Do it.

Words you'd rather NOT here when you are going to get your eyebrows done...

...(heavy Persian accent) you lay down here - you're here for the bikini wax, correct?

NO - just eyebrows thank you very much!

So I just had my first experience with getting my eyebrows threaded, which is where instead of wax they take a really long piece of string fold it in half and twist it into your brow pulling out little hairs in its wake. CRAZY!

As I lay down on the table to get my brows whipped into shape, the lady hands me a kleenex saying, (heavy Persian accent) "this is for you!". I asked her if I was going to cry and she told "you may!". And I did.

But it was so worth it! What is it about having clean brows that just boosts your confidence level???

The funny thing was after we were done was when the lady asked me what my name was and if this was my first time - so the conversation I thought we would have instead of the "you here for BIKINI wax"!?

Halloween is coming...

...and Murphy is counting the days.

It's Official!!!

I'm official! No we didn't just get hitched - but I haven't been able to wear my gorgeous wedding ring that we got when we got married due to skin sensitivity to white gold. So my adorable hubby suggested we get one in platinum that I could adorn my cute little hand with. I went to pick it up today and could not be happier - it is so me. Simple and beautiful. Thanks Baby!

Seriously - I couldn't make this stuff up.

Today I decided that I would run a quick lunchtime errand, to get my brakes checked on the car. So driving over there I notice that my cell phone is dead. Well, I am waiting to see what the verdict is on my grinding brakes and they come in about 15 minutes later, call my name and tell me that I need new pads and roters on the front. Sweet. And it will be two hours...

Ok, I need to get back into work, problem is I haven't made any previous arrangements to be picked up, I don't have a cell phone and I don't have any cash (buses don't take credit cards do they?). Side note here I have only ridden the city bus once - and that is because it causes panic attacks - I never know if I am going to pull the cord at the right moment etc etc.

So I head into a Walgreen's and ask if I can write a check for over the amount of my purchase, and the guy looks at me like I am living in 1980 (who writes checks and for OVER the amount?). He tells me the only way to get cash is to use a debit card - well I would happily do that except I have been waiting over 20 days to get my new debit card in the mail because the previous one was compromised (are you getting the part where I just couldn't make this stuff up?). Some days I should really think a situation through before heading out on my "quick lunch-time" errands.

Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas Anymore

So I am not home right now, in fact I am in Denver at a business conference. One think with business travel is nothing ever goes just right. You either bring the right clothes and the wrong shoes or you don't have a car at the airport in your name etc. But I have the right clothes with the right shoes and i even had a car at the Hertz waiting for me. I also had to ride 20 minutes in a shuttle bus with a stinky scout troop who was on their wait to some scavenging outing in the middle of nowhere complaining about how there was mandetory showers - everyday. Are you kidding me? Serioursly these boys hadn't taken a shower in a few days just in anticipation - I could SMELL them.

So anyway, I get in my car drive the 20 miles to downtown, get to the hotel lounge for a bit and head to a Rockies game - in a suite! - and guess what. It got rained out - no game - not even a snippet of one. Oh and come to find out all of the poeople that weren't at the game two blocks away were told the couldn't go ANYWHERE because there was a threaght of tornaodos ripping through downtown. Yep I was outside in Coor's field when I should have somewhere very dry and enclosed.

This should be a great trip.

Mommy & Me...

Murphy, my little man, thanks for yesterday, I had so much fun with you. There is nothing like waking up with you and slowly starting our day with watching episode after episode of the crazy sponge in square pants. Walking hand in hand to the local aviary and having you be absolutely ecstatic at the fact that the parade floats will still meandering by while trying to find their was home was adorable. The perfection that can only come from a park stand cafe was wrapped up in your grilled cheese sandwich (which you will still talking about this morning). I think that we both enjoyed the ferris wheel immensely and I loved when you looked over at me with that cute smile and said "this is scary"! I think this picture pretty much sums it up - lets do it again next year!

Funniest moment of the day was when I was asking you to drink some water so that you didn't get dehydrated and you turned to me and told me that you weren't DEHYDRATED you were FRUSTRATED and that you were going to have to put me in timeout when we get home.
