Love You, Miss You, Mean It

I don't know why, but I feel the need to let y'all know when I'll be MIA (that's Missing In Action for you youngens)! I'm going to San Diego tomorrow and I feel bad because I haven't gotten around to telling you about the entire San Fran trip. And I'm worried that with all the shenanigans that will surely ensue this weekend, I'll forget about trip #1. Have no worries though because I made myself a list of high points to remember to tell you...

Make sure to check back on Friday and Saturday... and if you're lucky, on Sunday as well for some great posts! They're written and ready to go...

Ok, I better go pack!

I Lurve SYTYCD

Since I was gone last Thursday I didn't get a chance to watch the first episode of SYTYCD (So You Think You Can Dance - for those of you not in the know) so I TiVo'd it, naturally. I haven't had a chance to watch last week's episode since I got back, so I invited Auri and Wikiball over last night to watch it (and last night's episode).

The first episode was awesome. We all decided we LURVE the new judge Sonya Tayeh (and with a last name like that, I'm thinking she's one of my people). She is AMAZING!!! She is truly genuine and full of nothing but constructive criticism. And she's gorgeous, minus the funky hairdo.

The dancers who were actually good were such a joy to watch. I think the three of us had enough goose bumps to last the rest of our lives! Toward the end of the show last night there were two girls who each danced a contemporary piece to the same song. It sounded familiar to me but I couldn't quite place it so I got on the message boards and found out. It's called Wintersong by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson. The video is below. The sound quality isn't great, but it's a beautiful song and a fun video.

And this video is of Natalie... if you remember from last season the last two girls were down to her and her roommate, Katie. Katie moved on to the top 20 and Natalie didn't. I think we'll be seeing a lot more of her this year.... and Sonya is one of the judges! Check 'em out! (And nevermind the little blurbs that pop up - some dorkus put them on there.)

Salt Lake to San Jose - Day 1 and Half of 2

As most of you know, I got back from my 2nd Annual Trip to San Francisco on Monday. And boy, what a trip it was. Noelle and I flew out on Thursday to San Jose. (The reason we started in San Jose was to visit Maddie.) We rented an Altima with a GPS device and headed for La Quinta (which apparently means "Next To Denny's, but in our case it was "Next To Burger King"). No elevator meant we had to haul our heavy-ass luggage up a flight of stairs. Not fun. The room was ok... nothing special... I mean come on, it was La Quinta. We decided to grab something for lunch and then head back to get ready to go to dinner with Maddie and Taylor (they go to school at Santa Clara).

Being that we were in Cali, I suggested In-N-Out Burger since I love it. Noelle decided to name our GPS "Sasha," so we told Sasha we wanted In-N-Out and she guided us there. Actually, we got lost, but then found our way again. Sasha tends to be very condescending if you don't follow her directions. She'll blurt out "Recalculating," and make you feel like a total loser. She's not very nice. She also likes to take you on the longest route possible. Remember the geometry rule? The shortest path between Point A & Point B is a straight line (or as close as you can get while driving). Not in Sasha's mind!

We found In-N-Out and grabbed some food. I loved it, Noelle didn't. She probably won't go back. Not her thing. Backing up... on the way to the airport I realized I forgot my CrackBerry charger, so after grabbing food we headed to the Verizon store in the same parking lot. I ended up with a new hard case (that is the same color as my phone) and a 2nd phone charger. Nice way to start off the shopping spree! Back at the hotel we got ready and then headed out to pick up Maddie and Taylor.

We went down to Santana Row for dinner and to do some shopping. It is officially my new happy place. Kind of like Gateway (here in Salt Lake) but much nicer. We had dinner at Consuelo Mexican Bistro. It was ok. Overpriced and not really my thing, but we had fun. That's where we saw Alex Smith (mentioned in yesterday's post). We decided to do some shopping after dinner and wandered around. We went to the Vera Bradley store and I fell in love. So many cute bags. I got a tiny one for my camera and to use as a wristlet if need be.

After shopping we grabbed some frozen yogurt from PinkBerry. I expected it to taste like crap, but it was actually good. I just have a problem with the texture... but I'll get over it. Apparently the girls live on PinkBerry... I have no idea how they manage to stay so thin... Oh yeah, they're 20 and run or swim every day.... duh!

When we were done we drove the girls back to their dorm, grabbed some stuff at Safeway and headed back to La Quinta. We were an exciting bunch that night... I know. Noelle and I hung around in our jammies, read our magazines and watched Leno. There was no remote so we had to decide on one channel and stick with it. Pain in the ass! I luckily found a sleep timer on the TV itself and we were both out before it went off. On Friday we got ready and headed out. Sasha insisted on taking us in the most roundabout way to store we wanted to go to. Once we found it we decided coffee was a necessity before we began our shopping spree so we asked her for directions to Starbucks. She literally made us drive all the way around the block and then past the main entrance for the store. Whatever! After coffee we headed to The Avenue to find some new threads.

Glasses at H&M. Don't be jealous of the hottness that is my oily face!

I think Noelle and I got to Avenue around 11 and didn't leave until almost 1. We tried on clothes for at least an hour, and on more than one occasion I told her it was the happiest day of my life. I actually found clothes... and they were cute... and they were all affordable. So we both ended up spending a lot of money, but we got a ton of stuff!

We met the girls for lunch at a cute little place right by the airport so we could return our car on time and head to the train station. I'll spare you the details, but I'll just tell you that returning the car to Budget was a less than stellar experience. It worked out in the end... after I spent 25 minutes on the phone waiting for and talking with Customer Service trying to get $75 in charges reversed!

Maddie and Taylor were very sweet to pick us up from the rental place and drive us to the CalTrain Station. We snuck our booze on the train and drank the whole way to San Fran... well, mostly Noelle drank cuz I wasn't feeling really hot. The train ride was fine... I had the shit scared out of me when another train passed us for the first time... apparently Noelle thought that was funny... I didn't. We grabbed a cab when we arrived and got dropped off right in front of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel.

I'm ending here and will give you the 2nd installment tomorrow!

Random Tuesdayness - I'm Baaa-aaack

I can't believe it's already time for a Random Tuesdayness again. Where the hell did the week go? Oh yeah, I've been gone. If you want to play Random Tuesday Thoughts, go grab Keely's button at The UnMom and do your own post. It's fun... I promise. And just know, the pictures are really in no particular order... part of the randomicity.

The coldest winter I ever saw was the summer I spent in San Francisco." - Mark Twain

In case you hadn't figured it out already, I've been on vacation. I'm back, and I'm tired. I even went to bed fairly early last night.

I was in San Jose from Thursday afternoon to Friday afternoon. We went shopping on Santana Row Thursday night and decided it's my new happy place. We rode the CalTrain up to San Fran and stayed there until yesterday.Saw Alex Smith (formerly of the University of Utah) who currently plays for the 49ers, at the restaurant we ate at on Thursday night.

We did a lot of sight seeing in San Fran which was different from last year...and didn't drink nearly as much... even though we wanted to. I got sick from a bad salad on Saturday afternoon and spent a great deal of time puking in the smallest bathroom known to man (the one in our room). We froze our asses off until yesterday when, naturally, the sun came out and the wind stopped blowing. I think I even got a little sun.
On Friday night Noelle's ankle rolled and she ate shit in the middle of Union Square. She is now in a boot for at least two weeks. We ate a lot, hung around in our hotel a lot, and spent a lot of money. All in all, it was a fab trip.

Fugliest outfit ever seen on the Furriest Man ever seen = Las Vegas Airport - And you can call me Incognito b/c I took that with my phone... I'm good!

I took my heart pendant necklace to Tiffany & Co. and am having a few inches added so I'll actually start wearing it again. Noelle bought some new Tiffany earrings - we'll refer to them as bolls. Remember the necklace I wanted to buy? Well I ended up with a polishing cloth instead. You can't beat a $10 purchase at that store! I get really annoyed when I'm talking to someone and I get interrupted. If you don't want to listen to me, say so. Don't just ignore me and then interrupt me without letting me finish my story. My parents do this all the time.

Taryn has a new saying, "I just can't do this anymore." The kid isn't even 3 yet and she's the biggest Drama Queen I know. It's only going to get worse. God help us all!
A few random phrases heard over the weekend:

Heard while waiting for the BART, "Don't accept chicken from panhandlers." - Translated: Don't accept tickets from panhandlers. Noelle needs to get hearing aids.

While driving to return the rental car, "I think your disco stick might be your In-N-Out Burger." - Reference to Lady Gaga's song LoveGame.

Jawas of Life - Don't ask

Did I mention we froze our asses off the whole weekend?

It's sad how much I missed blogging and reading everyone else's blogs while I was gone. I'll try to catch up on the reading, but I can't make any promises!

Apparently the weather in Salt Lake was pretty crappy all weekend. I know of multiple people who cut their vacations short because it wouldn't stop raining.

I love mini Chips Ahoy cookies. It's a good thing I don't have them often because I can't stop eating them.

Writing a post while nodding off is not advisable.

I actually fell asleep coming home on the plane yesterday... that never happens. I hope I didn't moan. I moan when I fall asleep. It's pretty embarrassing.

That's the salad that made me sick... Bastard salad!

I think that's enough for today. I'll be writing about our trip in more detail this week, so watch for the upcoming posts.

Ciao Bellas!

P.S. All photos here were taken with my CrackBerry!

A Post For Jaime... Oh Who Am I Kidding... I Think He's Gorgeous, Too!

Jaime, Apparently your man is here in Utah shooting a movie called "Deep Winter." I have a guest room...
I know this one is kinda funky with the makeup and everything, but Holy Mother of God! Look at that body!

And that's it for now... you'll get the full scoop with pictures for proof when I return next week! Hope y'all have a great weekend!
