California vacation

I'm Back!  and I know you all missed me like crazy!

Remember those shirts that proudly proclaimed the level of unluckiness back in the day? Those ones that said "My so'n'so went to _______ and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" Well, I went on vacation and no one even got a lousy t-shirt.

I did however have an awesome time in California, both San Fransisco and Huntington Beach. My week was filled with lots of action and I'll list 'em out for you so you know what you have to look forward in my little vacation series that will be coming up....maybe next week, yep that will be my goal. Gotta ease back into this work thing first.

In San Fransisco I was a busy girl. I didn't do to well on the list of resturants that Football Fan gave me, but I didn't have a single thing that wasn't absolutely amazing! I was so busy that when I needed to eat, I needed to eat and I didn't always feel like trying to locate one of the amazing recommendations.....I gotta be a better planner next time! Anyway, San Fran......Alcatraz, meetings, crab mac 'n cheese, biking 20 miles with a real mountain biker.

Huntington Beach, I was even busier and the food was absolutely to die for here as well. I don't know how Californians stay so skinny with all this delicious food! (maybe its the insane amount of walking?) Don't tell, but I ate In N Out Burger.....TWICE! Other than eating we did the beach, kickball tournament, shopping, wine tasting, pool sitting, hiking, dog walking and some boozing.

I had a great time and a much needed break from my real life. I can't wait to share some pictures of my adventures with you so stay tuned for California!

CARRY! On Monday my phone rang with an unknown number, I don't usually answer these, so I guess since I was really over the place of employment project I was working on I decided "what the hey" "Hello" "Is this Jennifer blah blah blah?" [ah, crap] (see here how I'm protecting my PII) "Yes, it is" "This is the Sheriff's Office, calling to tell you your concealed carry permit is in" "Great!, I'll be out to pick it up today!" And now, I am officially licensed to conceal carry......and put a rush on that Dirty 30 list item to find a pretty gun and a super cool shoulder sling! And yes, PII....that's what working for the federal government will do to your blog.

What i'm loving wednesday: winter

Image
[Linking up with Jamie at  This Kind of Love for What I'm Loving Wednesday!] One kind word can warm three winter months. ~Japanese Proverb I'm LOVING..........Winter I love winter! but I hate shoveling snow. As it snowed around here (finally AND 2 days in a row!), I thought about my hatred for shoveling snow....I think if it were either light before I went to work or after I got home, maybe shoveling wouldn't be so bad. So snow and winter go hand-in-hand, how can I love winter if I don't like shoveling snow?   Playing in it of course! Christmas markets, throwing snowballs, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, sleigh rides, hot tubbing, cabins and fireplaces, hot snock-o-late, big snowflakes, crisp untouched fields blanketed in fresh snow. It's a clean slate and I love it! Have a great winter and enjoy all it has to offer! Here is a picture I took a while back my way home from snowboarding at Beaver Mountain, Utah (a great little ski area btw). This is...

WILW: laugh 'til it hurts

[Linking up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday] A few years back, OKTrailerPark Friend and Snowboard Friend and I went to Canyons in Utah for a girls weekend. We had a slope side condo, reduced price lift tickets, wine and the resort swimming pool. Now when we vacation we do it up right. We snowboarded and rode the alpine slide by day and by night we soaked in the pool, wore sweatpants, cooked dinner in our condo, played cards, drank wine and watched this YouTube video....over and over and over and over. the.best.ab.workout.ever. Whenever I'm having a sub-par day, I pull this video out. I mean I do have it favorited on my work computer even! If this video doesn't make you laugh, go to the emergency room NOW! Here is a little note from Ed and Ross's mom, who posted the video. As you can read Ed and Ross were best friends! PLEASE NOTE..... THESE CLIPS WERE TAKEN OVER A PERIOD OF 18 MONTHS.... ED WAS A VERY GOOD BOY MOST OF THE TIME.... I HAVE HOURS ...
