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 notes” version of the debate… until then I am off to check out the National Scrapbook day stuff on the web. Toodles!
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, so he’s making our reservations this week and we’ll be off to the river in a little over a week. YAY! I am so stoked! We’re going to spend a half day on the Colorado River on Friday and then see the sights…. We’ll take a little trip into Deadhorse Point and Arches National Park. We are going to have so much fun 🙂 We’re leaving OddDog (aka Sadie) with B’s cousin and their kids… I hope she behaves and doesn’t drive them bonkers! I finally found some water sports shorts that I can wear on the river… it only took going to the men’s department to find some long enough to cover my knees so they don’t get completely fried on the boat. I don’t know why they make women’s shorts so stinking SHORT! Besides… fat legs need longer shorts! Anyway.. they are black swimshorts that look unisex so I can get away with them… They also had some way cool Columbia brand quick dry shorts, but I didn’t want to pay the $45 ticket for shorts… ouch!
Ahh and now I shall blog… blog, blog, blog…
So I’ve never had a blog before, but I thought it might be fun to try it out, since soooo many people are doing it nowadays… (Yeah, yeah… if your friends jump off a cliff, does that mean you have to do it, too?) LOL! My name is Erin. I am a former Army Brat which means Dad was military and we were nomads… traveling from place to place every 3 years or so. We moved to Germany in 1986 and stayed until 1994. I was almost 21 when we left Berlin. I like to think of Berlin as my “hometown” because that’s where I spent most of my teenage and early adult years. I moved from Berlin to Utah in 1994 on a whim, found some roomies and stuck around for a bit more college. I met my sweet husband, Brent (Accountant, City Councilman, & Woodworker Extraordinaaire – www.stamperstorage.com), in 1999 and married him that same year. We currently live in a small-ish (not so big, not too tiny) town in southern Utah County in a cute little house with a darling Furrbaby named Sadie (red & white border collie/australian shepherd something mix, aka adorable mutt). By day I am a humble (ha!) bookkeeper and office manager for a high end landscaping company. For fun, and to support this paper and ink habit, I am an indepedent consultant for Close To My Heart and sell scrapbooking and stamping supplies (stamps, papers, tools, BLING aka embellishments, etc.) I love CREATING with paper and ink. I am highly addicted to the smell of new paper and squish sound a nice new ink pad makes when you first ink up a stamp. I found ACRYLIC stamps with CTMH and can not go back to rubber on wood. I love being able to see through my stamps and be able to put my image exactly where I want it. Ramble, ramble… 🙂
