If Only

If only Greg could hear my thoughts while he's massaging me. Friday he would have heard:

-Oh ya....kneed that back fat.
-Thanks for the butt massage. It needed it.
-Oh my gosh. Please don't ever stop playing with my hair.
-Sorry that I did not shave my legs.
-If I promise to tip you well, will you please stop deep breathing for me as you massage my back.
-Oh honey, the things you do to a girls spin. Wow!
-Thanks for working my hips. They've been waiting to be rocked back into place.

Adele

If you don't know Adele's music you should and if you did not get to see her live, she's coming to Seattle again in May. She makes it seem so easy, but man that girl can belt it out. What a great live show. My only complaint would be the short set. She only has one CD out so not a lot of material, but I will take what I can get.



It feels good to be back on the concert scene and readers hold on. I have 2 Brandi Carlile concerts coming up and 1 week long music cruise that sets sail Feb 28th!

Saturday Is A Special Day

I had what was almost the perfect* Saturday.

I slept in and woke up to the sun blaring into my room. Yes, the SUN! It's been a long time since I've seen him. I read in bed for a bit before making plans to meet a friend for a run around Greenlake.

Ran, well really we ended up walking and talking, around Greenlake with Susan. Did a second lap on my own to get a little more actual running in. Clocked 5.42 miles and was feeling great. It was beautiful outside and the sun and fresh air really made me feel amazing.

Next it was off to Pike's to help be the photographer for Steph and her sister. Left Pikes to meet Amy at the Key Arena for...wait for it......Stars on Ice. It had to be the funniest thing ever. I guess I never really thought about what ice skaters do when not competing. I just don't know how they can take themselves so serious. I have to be honest that I did not know any of these "stars," until Amy pointed out one of them was the Russian kid in the movie Center Stage.

I ended the day with great friends doing my favorite thing ever, going to a concert. Marc Broussard did not disappoint. I've seen him in concert a few times before, but this was the first time with him as the headliner. He put on a great show. It was the first and only show he has sold out since starting his headlining tour and you could tell it put him in an exceptionally good mood. Marc rocked it! I can't wait to see him again on my cruise in a few weeks!




* would have liked to spend time with my Brother to make it a completely perfect day

Does A Body Good

Steph, Just a little proof that it's working. I'm glad we started going to the gym and even more glad we have not stopped going to the doughnut shop.

I Still Heart Visitors

I feel so lucky. Angela decided to visit and spend her Birthday weekend we little old me! Thanks for taking time away from your family and for not complaining about all the church meetings I made you go to. :)


See you in May.

Johnny Got Married

Congrats Johnny. I'm so proud of you.

I Heart Visitors

Man I miss my Utah friends, but LOVE when they come to visit. Had a great time with Carlee and Melissa. Went to Pikes, the Underground Tour, the Troll, EMP, and ate crap all weekend.






Thanks Ladies! Please come back again real soon.

Come and Visit

I think you all should come and visit me in Seattle. Southwest is running a deal through Jan 22 for 1/2 price tickets to Seattle.

I'm just sayin.

Today At The Gym

Remember how I have serious issues with people clipping their nails in public and remember how I am a clean freak. Well, today I freaked out at the gym. While doing exercises on a mat on the floor I saw it right next to me. A jumbo nail clipping. I lost it and had to end my workout. I had to get as far away from there as possible and jumped in the shower the second I got home. I can still see it and you can guarantee I will not be going near that area in the gym again.

Case in point people. Clip your nails AT HOME IN PRIVATE!!!

Thanks Mr. Mailman

Every month I have a music nerd moment whenever the new issue of Sound magazine arrives in my mailbox. This month, I had a music nerd FREAK OUT!!! Brandi Carlile is on the cover as one of the "Next Big Things." I'm sad each of you were not able to end your day reading the January issue cover to cover in the bath like I am about to.

Daily Adventure

I was pumping gas when I saw a cute boy walking my way. We smiled at each other and as he walked up to me he said, "I'm a cook. You should look me up on the internet. MySpace me ok." He handed me a post card with food pictures and a URL to his page: www.thethugginchef.com. Really, the Thuggin Chef. Too funny.

Apparently business is not that great if he is making stops at the gas station at 9:00 pm on a Saturday night.

New Blogs

Don't you just hate when things happen or are said, but you can't blog about them because you never know who lurks on your blog. Man it's killing me. I just might have to start a private blog with a VIP invite group only. But wait. If you request to join and I turn you down then you will know I am talking about you. Oh this is never going to work. I guess I will have to record it old school in my journal.

Oh and because I am obsessed with running, I've started another blog to track my progress. Nothing funny or exciting, but if you need another blog to populate your Google reader I give you Kickin Assphalt.

My Best Friends Wedding

Congrats on your big day today. I'm so proud of you. I'll see you at your reception when you get back from London. I will be the one in a black dress and pink stilettos hitting on all the single men.

Goals

They say if you write down your goals there is a better chance of you keeping them so I figure why not write them down and publish them so you all can keep me honest. So in no particular order a few goals for 2009:

Keep up my gym attendance
Kick ass on the Rock n' Roll 1/2 marathon
Stop swearing
STUDY the scriptures, not just read them
Ask for help
Say no
Be better about writing in my journal (I can't blog about the really juicy stuff!)
Keep my make out bucket full
Actually date the boys I'm making out with
Continue to attend as many concerts as I can
Attend the temple twice a month
Read the lessons before Church
GO to institute
Play the guitar everyday
Not spend Friday nights at home
Get together with my brother at least once a week
Become a morning person

Wow...that's plenty. Happy 2009.
