Up...

MONDAY NOVEMBER 2 The best way to see the Windy City is to head up. So that's just what we did. After a speedy elevator ride, we made our way to the 94th Observation Floor of the John Hancock Building. For the price of admission we got a personal (okay with headphones) tour of Chicago, from David Schwimmer although 5 minutes into it, I turned him off. We hit right as the sun was going down, but it was the perfect day to check out the skyline and Lake Michigan (far as the eye can see. The Great Salt Lake's got nothin' on it!) Such a beatiful city.

FUN FACT:

The 44th floor sky lobby features America's highest indoor swimming pool.

Home Sweet Home...

Flying back into the Salt Lake valley after yet another successful getaway. Where to head next, is the question...

A Night with Kathy G...

I had a great time at the Kathy Griffin shows. The place was packed, and I think you may know by now who her peeps are! My camera died though, (grrr!) but I still managed to get a good photo of Shila and myself! Great night!

Chicago '09...

I've been busy and haven't uploaded any of my Chicago photos yet, but rest assured... they're coming soon!

Happy 88th Birthday Grandma!...

Zombieland '09...

One of the reasons I decided to spend my Halloween in Chicago is because I knew my friend Randy loved the holiday and was known to go all out. He also has a fondness for zombies and other things that go bump in the night. So I knew I was in good hands for this years costume. We made a quick stop at a fun thrift store to grab a jacket (it was a chilly night, this zombie needed to stay warm) before my 90-plus minute make over. So timely, that we missed the Halloween parade in Boystown but we were fashionable late for all the bar/club hoping. We also got amazing feedback from our costumes, and I swear I've never had my picture taken more. I know I ended up on some twitter pic waiting for the El train. It was easily one of my most memorable All Hallows Eve, if not the best... that is until next year. (Better start planning now! I set a high standard this Halloween!)

Coming Soon...

My recap/photos of my Halloween in Chicago is coming soon.

Stay tuned!

Oops, I Did It Again...

Okay, this is really really embarrassing, but I have a problem, or a maybe it's a trend, or by now it's a tradition... depending on how you look at it. Every time I'm preparing to go on a vacation, I seem to have a tendency to overflow my kitchen sink. Let me explain. I like to come back from a vacation to a clean(-ish) house. So while I'm packing my suitcase, I'm also trying to clean up my crib. Well, said crib is a very old house and the hot water has VERY low pressure. I will start to fill the kitchen sink, and I've tried to multi-task as the water (quietly)runs. This is where I will attempt to run a pile of clothes to my bedroom, pick up some trash or in this case catch my cat masturbating in the bedroom. Of course I had to hop online to tweet about this. [Mo is a known masturbator. I don't judge.] Anyway, for the third or forth time now I forgot about my dish washing chores and ended up with a drawer full of gushing water. It was sure fun cleaning up, and consequentially resulting in a kitchen that was far messier than when I started. One of these days I'll learn!

Sadee Watch...

My niece S.J. is so freaking cute. I decided to take advantage of all the smiles and show off her adorable Halloween fashions. Love her! My nieces are the best! Go ahead and be jealous.

Craft Night with Bubbas...

On Sunday October 25th, I thought it would be fun if Brylee and I tricked out a few pumpkins. Being the adult, I stuck to the carving while she gladly painted hers. She was also a little freaked out by the innards, so I was also in charge of removing their brains. We had such a fun time we decided to keep the creativity flowing by making a few Halloween crafts of our own. It was great bonding with my Bubbas! Good to see the creativity apple didn't fall far from the "Uncle's Tree."
