Arizona Trip

Chapel in Sedona and Phoenix sunset

Baby Ethan

Just returned from a much-needed vacation to Phoenix to visit friends and family. I spent much of the trip with my friend Heather and saw her new baby, Ethan, born on the 16th. Took a side trip to Sedona and the surrounding area, and took in the lovely scenery.

Wet 4th of July

We're all feeling the patriotic fever. Hope you all had a happy Fourth - and hope it was slightly drier than ours.

Spring is Sprung

Love is in the air - even the dogs are feeling it...

Memorial

I haven't been posting lately because this has been a trying month for me. I'd just like to take this space to memorialize a really great man, my stepdad. He lived life to the fullest, and never regretted a day he spent on this earth. He left behind a family that will miss him tremendously, but I'm so glad to have known him.

His Drag Racing Days...

Cool Night Cool Concert

Since the September concert was a bust due to Hurricane Rita, Coldplay made another trip back to H-Town to satisfy their fans, and it was worth the trip. Although I missed the VERY SHORT opening act by Fiona Apple, and they didn't take the stage until after 9:30, AND I was in nosebleed seats, it was worth the price to see this excellent band again. Nothing can top the first time I saw them at Verizon Theater standing a few feet from the stage, with Gwyneth in the balcony above, but they are true superstars now, and give a performance worthy of the lofty ticket price. I just wish so many scalpers weren't able to get the best seats, since I bought mine 5 minutes after they went on sale, but still had to squint to see the band. I really despise Ticketmaster sometimes...

Wabbit Season! Lawyer Season!

K-Fed, the Giant Douchebag

I could not contain my laughter at this crazy clip of Mr. Britney Spears jamming to his sad new single. I know it is all over the net by now, but I just had to add it here since it is the funniest thing I've seen all week.

Customer Service

Having ventured back into the wonderful world of retail, I have seen the best and worst of people lately and over the holiday season. I read this post yesterday and could absolutely relate. People, treat those in the service industries with kindness - karma can be a bitch when she wants to be.

Oh what a geek I am...

You know you've gone too far down the abyss of geekdom when your new cell phone is taking up most of your leisure time. I had the good fortune to lose my cell phone on NYE, and decided to replace it with one that had all the bells and whistles, and boy, does it whistle. I settled on the LG VX-8100 and now I have mobile web, a 1.3 megapixel camera, video, and an MP3 player. Now if I could get it to cook and clean, I'll be set.

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a great holiday. I rang in my new year at M Bar downtown - it was fun, but these places really charge way too much for NYE cover.
