I grew up

So, this last weekend was spent enjoying my new ride....yes, I finally have a grown up car. I have not gotten used to driving this car as in the past I have always had the used older vehicle that still smelled like whoever owned it before and had little kinks that gave it character, infused by the past owner...be it a nun or someone who may have drove the car on it's rims in a chase (the nun is fact, the chase has not been proven, but could have happened due to sustained damage on volvo).

I promise I will get better pictures so you can see what it looks like. Fitzy took this artsy photo before we hoped in the car and headed up to Mountain High to go skiing on Sunday morning. There was not a whole lot of snow and I have to admit that I gave Jon a hard time on the fact that I am a crappy skier and not good and was not sure if I even liked the sport...but I ended up doing pretty darn good and only fell once and I believe that was because I was dodging a snowboarder on the hillside. Those snowboarders can be obstacles that you need to be really good to steer around and I am getting pretty good at avoiding them. :) Hopefully next time I will be even better.
Saturday we went downtown to check out the latest exhibit at the MOCA. It was Louise Bourgeois. It was an interesting exhibit. She had various sculptures, drawings and prints. She also put together these pieces she called Cells which I thought were the best part about the exhibit. They were more interesting in the fact that they were large pieces set up as rooms that you could look into. Although the main thought that we had coming out of that exhibit....is that that woman needed a therapist pronto....she had issues man! She had a marble sculpture of a huge French country mansion that she had grown up in and she had it framed by a guillotine.
We came up with some of our own thoughts on an exhibit that we could put together. I may have to have my own little art show. I believe I could create something quite unique that could rival some of the items I have seen at the museum.

We then visited some friends who just had a little baby girl back in December. It was good to visit with them and see their new addition. I also received a call from dear friend on the good news of the arrival of their new daughter! I wish them well and hope everyone is doing good.

Thanks! Momentous Week!

So, Thank you to my friends who commented on the last posting. :) It is nice to know that you guys are out there....Ohh, and I need to link to one friend's site as well.

This weekend was just like summer. I brought out the sandals and wore short sleeve in the heat. I also chopped all my hair off on Saturday. I was waiting in the hot sun in the window at the barber and decided...why not. It looked really good on Saturday and that night...but as always, I cannot seem to get it to look like the stylist did at Floyd's. I am working on it and will try to get you a pick once I can tame it a little.....it is jutting out all over the place right now.

Saturday night I went out with a wive's club to the Comedy & Magic Club. We went to see the author of "He's just not into you" and they had a few opening comedians who were funny including Ray Romano who made a guest appearance to try out his jokes for the inauguration. I guess the Obama's are fans of his show and he was invited to entertain at one of the inauguration functions. Good luck to him...we are also hoping that he did a bit more work on some of the jokes he tried that night.

Per my last post I have been good about cutting out the coffee at work in the mornings and doing tea instead...but this morning I really really felt like this:

I may break down and have to have a cup soon.
Woody also says hello to everyone!!! He is doing superbly:

Kinda New Year

The New Year....I need to be better about updating the blog in the New Year. Although sometimes I think I may be the only one who reads it. :)
I thought that I would just ditch resolutions, but it seems that I am doing pretty well on a couple.
I ditched coffee in the morning and now do tea, which is much better for me as I used to use a LOT of cream in the coffee.
I have been trying to stay on top of things at work...which I have, as there is not a whole heck of a lot going on there at the moment.
I go to the gym....sometimes.
I am trying to manage the D-life a little better (diabetic life). I got a new doctor, am trying to stay focused on what I eat and trying to lose those extra pounds that seem to have attached themselves everywhere.
The temperature out here on the West Coast has been in the 80s!!! For January that is amazing and it is pretty sweet to be in short sleeve and shorts. Although I have to admit that when summer does arrive it is not something that is that special because it has been pretty fantastic all year.
I do miss the white winter from home and drying my sweaters on the radiator. I have this recent pic on my computer at work to remind me....and at work it could really be anywhere as I have no windows to the outside world.
