Forgive me

...but I have to brag and boast for just a moment. In 30 days I am going to be in Vegas, specifically at Mandalay Bay where the beach/pool area covers 11 acres (a wave pool, lazy river, three swimming pools and 2,700 tons of real sand.) Oh yeah!

It'll be me and my friend Spence, lounging the day away. If that wasn't good enough, we splurged on our own private gazebo. I booked it this morning!! The price was a bit steep, but I was told on the phone that besides having guaranteed space to call our own and a lock safe for purses etc the shade in Las Vegas is worth every penny.

I have been gazing at the online photos of our gazebo ever since... and I think I'm in love :)

Disney-type thing for the Day

Doom on you!!!!!

Friday the 13th update

It's Friday the 13th and I think the only spooky thing I'm doing today is cleaning my bathroom.

Random change of subject time---- So there's a couple who's getting married in Fargo today and they really wanted this one song played when the bride walked down the aisle. Trouble was-- there was no sheet music and the church didn't allow recorded music.

So the bride contacted the group, Australian rock band, Borne to ask about it and -- long story short.... The lead singer/song writer is flying 24 hours to sing it for them in person!!!!

How beautiful is that? What kind of song is worth paying a $3000 airfare/hotel package for you ask? This one:



The super cool part (for me) is that I got to write the story for the Herald! I got to interview the bride (total sweetheart) and call Australia and interview lead singer, Cameron Tapp (who called me "mate" and made my whole day) You can read the story here.

Tyler and I were talking about this today at lunch and I asked him, "So what do you want me to walk down the aisle to?"

He thought for a split second and without hesitation, suggested this.

Wouldn't that be an entrance? What the hell kinda bridal dress do you wear for something like that? I think leather would be involved. Yikes. Not me.

So we missed softball this week because -- as per usual -- it was raining cats and dogs. Every week we get an email at work where we vote on whether or not we can make it. The guy who writes the emails always thinks of funny little sayings like "no thanks, can't make it, I have to shave my back" but this week it was very fitting.



If you think I'm exaggerating the biblical weather around here. Check out this headline.



Seriously? Flying cows.

I am at work and (go figure) not working so I must cut this short. I leave you with my newfound hero-- Sarah Haskins. She has done some other great videos but this one (her latest) is AWESOME beyond COMPARE!

Rut

I'm in a rut. Nothing serious or anything. It's not like I'm unhappy. I'm just in a rut. Every day the weather is rainy/stormy. Every Wednesday I play softball. Every day I sit at my desk and think to myself, "lame lame lame lame lame."

I have been applying for little things here and there again. I hate that change makes me so anxious - even when I'm clearly in the wrong job, I'm reluctant to change. See cause... I know exactly what to expect from my life here. I know the people I work with (I even like most of them!) and I know what I can get away with (blogging while it's slow, for instance) so the idea of a new place, new people and new set of rules doesn't so much excite me as it does terrify me.

How weak is that? I need to quit being so scared. I need to get out of a rut and find my passion. But as long as we're complaining... I just need to vent that I HATE job applications. With a burning passion. I feel incredibly uncomfortable pointing out whatever positive attribute I might have. Is that a German thing? We're just more comfortable criticizing ourselves? Maybe it's a woman thing? Like, girls shouldn't toot their own horns so much, it makes 'em look arrogant or snobby. Guys seem self-assured, girls seem like stuck-up beyotches.

I hope not, cause I'm applying for something that I really, REALLY want a shot at. I'm too nervous to even discuss it here for fear I might jinx it. I just ask that you send good thoughts my way. I think the Universe could throw me a bone on this one because I've been in a weird holding pattern since college graduation and I'd like a wacky, crazy, scare-the-shit out of myself opportunity to come my way. It'd be good for me.

In more laid back news, my mom came by this weekend. I took her to Sex and the City, which she LOVED (she even blogged about it). I figured she'd point out the bad character decisions and get hung up on them. Instead we had a lot of fun. The movie even held her attention for 2+ hours (and my mother has a self-admitted case of adult ADD). We must have caught the shopping bug from the movie, because then we blew way too much money at the mall and Barnes & Noble *they had their buy 2 DVDs get the 3rd free sale* I also finally got flowers for my balcony pots. It's nice to see greenery again. When they re-bloom (mom made me pinch them all back) I will take pictures.

16 days until the movie Wall E comes out! (I've been pumped since March)
36 days until Spence and I have our "VEGAS BABY!" trip
?? days until I find out if I got my shot at something crazy and new

Wish me luck and I wish you a rut-less, exciting existance!

Disney (type thing) for the day
