Introducing...

MY PUPPY! Isn't she cute?! She is a maltese and I just love her already. I got her tonight...kind of unexpected but I have been wanting one and waiting for the perfect one to come along and here she is :-) She's very sweet and cuddly. I don't have a name for her yet so if you have any suggestions, let me know!

So she now has a name and it's Zoey. I don't know why, but it suits her :-)

The fair!

On Saturday I went to the Utah State Fair with some of my close friends. Oh how I love the fair! I love the greasy food, "rides" that basically just spin you around in a fast circle, and freak shows. I forgot my camera but I did take this lovely picture of the ferris wheel with my phone.

Anyway, we had a blast! We saw Boyz II Men (yes, they're still around and as awesome as ever!!!), ate fair food, visited all the exhibits, and saw some craaaazy stuff. For example, did you know you can pay a dollar to see a 20-inch woman from the West Indies sitting on a shelf? (She will even talk to you!) Or fifty cents to see the world's smallest horse? ("Come see Tiny Tim, the world's smallest horse...a handful of straw and a glass of water is a mighty big meal for Tiny Tim." Still stuck in my head) Fascinating. Then we saw a cop on a segway in hot pursuit of some guy running away from him. It was so funny, like some futuristic cop show.

I love the fair!

Spa Day!

A few years ago a very good friend gave me a gift certificate for a full spa day at an upscale spa in Indianapolis. I ended up moving shortly thereafter and never got to use it. Well, because I'm home visiting and because I could use a little pampering now more than ever (my "fun" summer turned into the worst one ever, hands down), I decided to cash it in! It was WONDERFUL and so relaxing and rejuvenating! These are pics of where I was and some of the services I got (that is not me in the picture though ;-) I got a Full Body Exfoliation, Tranquility HydroTub Bath, Mud Wrap, Vichy Shower Rinse, One Hour D-Age Massage, Facial, mani/pedi with paraffin, and lunch. It lasted all day. I was in heaven and needed every single second of it!!!

A Day at the Beach....


Spent a beautiful day on Lake Michigan with my family (minus just a few) this weekend. The weather was nice, the water wasn't too cold, and the company was great! Just what I needed after a couple of crazy, stressful weeks!
