A Turn of Events

I stayed home this weekend while the rest of the Arizona population went to Vegas. I'd be lying if I didn't say I was a tad jealous and annoyed.....initially. Especially since I'm broke as a joke until Tuesday. So I accepted my fate as a loner for the weekend and prepared to do some serious scrapbooking. I didn't get one photo put on paper. In fact, I ended up having the most unexpected, fun, and fulfilling weekend off at home that I've ever had. Here's some highlights:

-Wine night with some classy and witty ladies, mix wine with witty and you get too much laughing

- Drove to the middle of nowhere, literally            
- Helped grandparents move and hung out with my
brother's funny friends
- Spent some much needed quality time with family
 friends that I hadn't seen in a while
- Met an unexpected group of ladies whom I missed dearly at Dos Gringos aka my new favorite summer days/nights place
- Saw Chelsea Snyder (I think this made my weekend)

-Woke up early, oggled houses in PV and  climbed

Camelback Mountain for the first time ever. Mission 

Accomplished and so proud of myself!

-Chased a peacock off my roof (WTF?)

- Pool party with family and friends with a sweet tea

vodka and lemonade

-Washed my car!

-Met up with my long lost friends and caught up and

girl chatted  then saw Hangover 2 (Not very good btw)

-Early morning life chat date with aunt Sheila at Starbucks
- Family pool party with unlimited fruit bowls and watermelon

What a great weekend...maybe I'll get my scrapbooking done next weekend ;)

10 Things I Learned This Week (and a half)

1. Accomplishing something is  the best feeling there is

2. Love is  stubborn, you can't tell it what to do

3. I know way to many awesome people

10.   There's always another side to the story

Item # 16 on my list = DONE 

Today I did something a little different, a little out of the ordinary if you will.  I fell through the sky like a penny tossed by the gods. Some might say.....I flew. It's something only a portion of people do in their lives and I can now say I'm one of those people. 

It's exactly what I needed

So I've crossed one more item off my "bucket" list (although I'd be more inclined to call it a basket list...baskets being prettier) and tomorrow morning I start on the next....what productive summer I've had so far ;)

And the best part.....Starbucks gave me a congratulations coffee for free for conquering this feat =)

Question is....who's going to help me get these things done? ;)

Study Buddy

Welcome to the next few days.....

Oh joy! Finals week is here which although it means only one week left of school, it also means no sleep for the next few days. Criminal Minds, chocolate covered raisins, and a grande iced vanilla coffee will be my study buddies for the next few nights!
