Random Pictures from our Arizona Trip 6/05

Yeah! Meteor Crater Natural Landmark outside of Flagstaff, AZ. A must see tourist trap!

Monument National Park in Southern Utah. We were drinving on the road that Forest Gump was running on when he decided that " I think I'm gonna go home now." It's amazing!

The Mexican Hat rock formation, where else but outside of Mexican Hat, Utah!!

This is the hotel that Chevy Chase, in the original Vacation movie, left a check for cash and took a hat from before driving off to go see Wally World. We didn't discover that until we got home from our vacation and saw it in the movie. It's pretty small inside, but has a great view of the Canyon.

The Cathedral Vortex in Sedona, AZ. One of many spiritual vortexes around the area.

Off Roading in the Coconino National Forest on the Broken Arrow Road in Sedona, AZ

(The largest Hilo Hatties Hawaiian T-shirt. It was in the mall at the Venetian in Las Vegas.)

Sunday

Hey ohhhhh!!

Sunday was beautiful!! I got up early, walked the dog in the ghetto that is our neighborhood, or at least what it's turning into. Garbage areas are being destroyed, back windshields are being smashed, electrical boxes are losing their fronts and are being thrown in the middle of the road. Did I mention the homeys that are walking the paths with their pants that are obviously being held up by, no not a belt, but their wienies!!
Any who....
Then I went to Pahls market to get some flowers. Yeah, I love spring!
I got home and started planting.... 1 hour later.... I AM FRIED!! I, of course, being of Norwegian/German blood, am as white as Mel...I mean white as a ghost....fried my shoulders. Do I learn? Sure, after it hurts to lay in bed because it leaves wrinkle marks in my freshly scorched shoulder skin. I am a dumb ass, but the flowers look awesome.
Then my ma came over and we went to Menards and Pahls again.
Mike was on call for work and couldn't leave the house and computer in case something wrong happened at the stores....sucky!
Then Mel and Corey came over for a BBQ dinner. Mmmm Mmmm turkey burgers!

Saturday

Hey everybody.....

Mike and I had a nice Saturday.
We went for a bike ride to and from my new work once I got off work of course. We found the fastest route being ~3 miles and it takes ~20 minutes. That's depending on stop lights of course and the wind (that happened to be at our faces the entire time).
When you go biking with Mike, it's always windy and always coming straight at you!
Right Hun?
Then we got home, shit, showered and shaved and then it was off to Kohls (for what seems like the 7th time in the last week, damn those damn sales!!)
We did get a firepit chiminea. It's really cute and fits in perfectly on our patio. We did end up having a fire last night, after making a trip back to get a different one because of a missing piece. How weird, the box didn't even have a scratch on it, so I figured it was A-OK. I was way wrong! So when we got the one we have now, we opened the box at Kohls and checked it thoroughly!
But anywho, it's really cute and is a perfect way to satisfy our need for bonfire, city style!
We did take the dog to Lake Nokomis and had a nice walk. Lots of people, lots of dogs, lots of planes....geez, they were loud as hell (duh, they are planes).
Zoey did pretty well. She went swimming for the 1st time. She did scare the shit out of herself when she went to far and realized her feet weren't touching the bottom.
Then it was off to the 5-8 Club for a delicious Juicy Lucy!! Oh how we love thee!

Hey Corn on the Cobs!!!

One of the funniest comedians hands down. Can anyone name him??

Hey....it's Aimee!!

Yeah so I suck, I'll admit it, I'm not the greatest at remembering to blog.
Lots to update......so I'll make it short and pretty sweet tasting, like homemade caramels!!!

** I'm in my 2nd week of my new job. Love it! Love the nice commute (~8 mins) I have yet to get out on my bike, but I'm waiting for warmer weather. Love my schedule, love my fellow and very helpful co-workers. My boss is nice which is....nice!
** Our house smells and looks great thanks to the new carpet and wood floors. Love it all!]
Big shout out to Corey B for the help on the floors.....it's...nice!!
** Can't wait to start planting my flowers...once I get them of course. That will be a big chunk of change since flowers are not cheap unless you grow them yourself from seeds....can't do that without a greenhouse...Mike would not approve.
** I can't wait for camping. We have, so far, 2 trips planned. Memorial weekend and July camping in Bemedji. Yeah Haw!! Hopefully the dog will be a good camper.
** I am recently and helplessly devoted to Cookies and Cream ice cream....damn you Kemps!!
** The cat knocked over my porcelain angel that I got from my grandma during one of our new favorite shows "Thank God you're Here" Damn cat, should have left you out the other night.
Thank God it didn't land on the wood, instead it landed on the ever startling concrete by the front door and shattered onto the wood. Yikes....Mike pooped his pants a little!! (j/k hun)
** I love the show Medium.
** Still thinking about getting a new car even though I work less than 10 mins from home. Maybe a hybrid that I can plug in/gas up and feel good about because I won't be putting so much CO2 in the air. It's something I'm throwing around.
** Can't wait to have our summer garage sale. I'm thinking sometime in May when other Apple Valley neighborhoods are advertising their garage sales.....to be continued.....
** We broke down and got a storage unit just across the street. We already have lots of stuff over there. It's helps to get it out of the garage though. Now what about the boat?? (j/k hun)

Drawing a blank for now, or maybe I have ice cream on my mind.
I promise to be better about blogging. I better or I'll never hear the end of it from you know who..... That's right, Mr. Crabby!!

NEW JOB!

ONE WEEK TO GO UNTIL I START MY NEW JOB!!!

This is MikeyB posting for AimeeB because she never updates her blog. I bet it will take her a week before she even sees this post.
