Moab Trip Part II::The River

Moab Trip Part II::The River

Disclaimer #1: (Dial Up Users Beware…. LOADS of pics…. ) $10 waterproof WalMart cameras just don’t take the quality of photos that I am used to (spoiled with) with my Canon SLR Digital Rebel 8.0 MP camera. Not by a long shot. BUT, I am GRATEFUL to have had the cameras on the river because a $10 waterproof WalMart camera is a bit more “dealable” than losing a $1000 + camera to the depths of the mucky Colorado River… SO…

Pieces of Me….

Pieces of Me….

Pieces of me are falling off all over as I sit here at work. Pieces on my desk, pieces on payroll {shake off}, pieces on my keyboard, pieces on my shirt. This is annoying…. I have a royal sunburn and I’m peeling and it’s just my face. I look like a leper…. or something… white flakey skin everywhere. It’s gross! Why I didn’t wear sunblock on Saturday as we planted sod and releveled an area of a friend’s yard, is…

Fooling Around With Paper

Fooling Around With Paper

I know, I know… I need to update the photos from our Moab trip… I still haven’t made it to CostCo to drop off the film yet…. hopefully this week! 🙂 In the meantime…… I was inspired by a card that my friend, Dawn Neal, made for a private swap that I am in and decided to lift her idea and create my own piece of art. Dawn’s is absolutely fabulous! I loved her layout and technique ideas. She used…

I like Big Buttes

Moab was an ABSOLUTE BLAST!!!!! I can not wait to go back again! I’d been to Moab before and toured Arches, but I missed the other cool stuff in the area! We drove down on Thursday night after dropping the furrkid off at Brent’s cousin’s house. (Their kids were UBER excited to have Sadie come stay with them.) We took the little red card to save on gas and parked the Tahoe. (Smart choice – left $$ for souvenirs!) We…

An Unexpected Adventure in Gardening….

An Unexpected Adventure in Gardening….

TREES, DIRT, TREES, AND MORE DIRT! Ok, so I LOVE to plant things and redo gardens, etc… but this is CRAZY! LOL! Our neighbor and friend, Dustin, asked us about a Linden tree in our front yard that died in Spring of 2006 and tried to recover in most of 2006 and this spring…. Were we planning on replacing it? What with? etc… Anyway.. long story short… he had a lot of HUGE trees up at his cabin that he’d…

Rocky vs. Hannity – “The Smackdown”

Rocky vs. Hannity – “The Smackdown”

UGHHHHHHH!! I sooo hate politics and I despise Rocky Anderson, Mayor of SLC, even more. He’s on tv debating national talk show host, Sean Hannity right now and B is listening to him… I really think that Rocky is a weanie and is just talking crap out of his mouth, so I had to leave the room and do something else. He really makes me all agitated inside and nauseaus. I will let Brent listen and give me the “cliff…

River Adventure….

River Adventure….

Brent and I skipped buying expensive presents for our birthdays in March and April because we knew we wanted to go on a little road trip and or adventure in early summer….. A couple of weeks ago Brent suggested that we drive down to Moab and go on a river rafting trip (not sure what company he’s booking with.. but that’s the idea) over Mother’s Day weekend…. (a normally pain in the butt holiday for me)…. Sounds fun to me,…
