Drank a fruit fly this morning.....

Got your attention, right?  I really did drink a fruit fly this morning.  Not on purpose.  The damn thing flew in my coffee and I didn't see it... felt it though.  GROSS!  Now I inspect my coffee before every drink.... paranoid. 

Anyways, its Friday again and I didn't even tell you what I did last weekend yet... so here's what happened....

TOUR DE FAT!

New Belgium Brewery out of Ft. Collins, CO and creator of my favorite beer had a festival in Durham, NC on Saturday.  It was pretty entertaining and there were  great bands...even though I can't remember the names of them.  Heres some photos.... 

People do read my blog.... :-)

My life is fairly boring.... I've not been up to much of anything since I got back from Colorado.  Work has kept me busy since we are trying to move our office (again) to merge with the Durham RTP office.  There seem to be a lot of winers in my company now.... Anyways enough about work (for now).

So I hardly ever watch the news.  That may keep me out of the loop of whats going on in the world but I'd rather not know all the bad shit going on around my city and all the people they are looking for so I don't watch it.  I do learn a lot of unnecessary news from yahoo though.  :-)   This morning I watched an interview with a lady that wrote a book "Why you're not married yet."  I thought she may have some insight as to why I'm not married yet... since she did write the book.  Here's the top 4 reasons she started off the interview with:  (BAD WORDS ALERT)

1. You’re a bitch. 
2. You’re a liar.
3. You’re shallow.
4. You’re selfish. 

Really???  You wrote a book about this?  Those all sound like my exs…. Reasons why I didn’t marry them!  I’m not sure what age group she talked with to gather her data, but none of these describe me.  I can be a bitch sometimes but there’s probably a reason for it.  Most of the time I’m pretty nice ;-)   Definitely not a liar… in fact, I probably say the truth too much and too soon.  Telling someone I just met that I want to get married and have kids is probably going to scare the guy away.  Shallow?  I wouldn’t say I’m shallow… choosy maybe.  A girl has to have some standards...   Definitely not selfish.  I moved to NC for a guy... that doesn’t seem too selfish to me.  Anyways, I shut the interview off after that.  I hope no one wastes their money on buying her book…. 

After that news, I didn’t read anything else.  That was enough nonsense for one day.  Maybe I’ll learn something tomorrow.  :-)

Love these kids!

My nieces - Aryssa, Chloe, and Layla - and my nephew Lennox.  Cutest kids ever!  They are growing up so fast!! 

18 days of Colorado...

felt like a month!  I've been in Colorado forever... not really, only 18 days :-)  I had a blast though.  I visited a bunch of friends and family that I haven't seen in a while.  I drove up to Steamboat Springs with my brother Alex.  We visited with my 2 favorite housekeepers - Kathy and Mary Jo.

We also hung out with my friend Rich and some of his friends for a while.  I don't have any pictures!  I can't believe I didn't take any?!? 

Prudence and I planned a fantastic bachelorette party for JJ... can't post any of those pictures  :-)

Visited with my Grandpa and Jan. 



Tried to see the solar eclipse with some paper but it was too cloudy...

Had dinner and T-Snow with my brother Clayton and his family... learned a new song for Tropical snow that the kids sing... you'll have to let them sing it to you though :-)   Clay took me to Eaton to see their new house that is being built ....

Lennox is always happy.  :-)

 Clayton!  Layla actually took this shot :-)

Went out to Ft Morgan to see Phillip & Elysse.  This is their sweet dog Bell.



Had a great morning with Aryssa and Chloe at their field day on the last day of school.

Then there was the big day - the reason I came to Colorado for so long - Jacque and Jasons wedding!  It was a great day and lots of fun... I'm still recovering...  :-)  Met some great people - some of which I hope to see again....  :-)



It was a great time! I am ready to get back home though but I will miss everyone and can't wait to come back again.  :-)

Colorado!

I've been in Colorado for only 4 days and its been an adventure already!  Southwest Vacations priced my car wrong and the car rental company upgraded me for it.  So I'm driving a nice little Ford Escape.

The first night I was here, I stayed with my brother Brandon and his girlfriend.  It was great to visit with them and they made a wonderful crepes breakfast Sunday morning.

Then I met up with JJ and friends in Central City/Blackhawk where I lost a little money.  Guess I have to go back to work since I didn't win big.   It was a lot of fun though. 

Stopped at my brother Clayton's house on the way from Blackhawk to Indian Meadows.  Love my nieces and nephew!  Can't wait to see them next week ... 

At Indian Meadows now in the Poudre Canyon... theres a huge forest fire about 15 miles from here...

Much more to come....   :-)

I found a winning lottery ticket in the trash and I have to give the money back??

I didn't really, but I got your attention :)   I get all my news from Yahoo... probably not the best source of news but I login to check my email so I see the news they have on their website.  This morning this is what I read....  
http://news.yahoo.com/woman-lost-ark-lotto-ticket-entitled-1m-001711454.html

Seriously???  First, if I found a winning ticket in a trashcan, I'm not going to admit that!  I would claim it as my own.  Second, the lady that threw it away, THREW IT AWAY!  Enough said.  She shouldn't even be in this story!  And the judge says the lady that threw it away is entitled to the money???  So if I find something - lets say a coin - in my neighbors trash and I pawn it for $1M, my neighbor can claim it?  Or I'm playing at a casino and I leave my machine.  Someone sits down and wins the jackpot as soon as I get up, can I claim that?  This is just insane that the lady that relinquished the ticket by throwing it away can now claim it as her own!  What is wrong with our justice system?  This case shouldn't have even went to court....
