Moiler Monday

Hello. I Just got back from Reno!

Here are the events of the weekend.

My husband has been busy restoring an old F-100. He was really excited that he got it running and so he attempted to pick me up at the airport in it as a surprise. This is Fiona:

Unfortunately he never made it to the airport. He broke down in Sparks. Then, my brother-in-law brought him our F-150 so he could come get me at the airport. I finished my book in the baggage claim.

Here is where I went wrong. I wore a dress. After the airport, we went back to where Fiona was, and he helped my brother-in-law and my father-in-law try to get the truck running again. Let me tell you how cute I looked in my dress standing next to the truck peeking in at the engine! Yep, good times. After about 10 starts and stops, we finally made it home. Then we had my favorite mexican food in Reno, Murriettas.

The next day, our high school buddy and his family came for a visit. I had never met them and I felt very short. They were all at least 5'7" or taller and it was a family of 3 girls and one boy. The girls also brought their boyfriends who were 6'4" and taller or something freakish like that. My neck got tired looking up at them after awhile. We had spaghetti for dinner that night at my in-laws.

On Sunday, we decided it would be fun to rent tubes and float down the Truckee River. We had never done this before, so we winged it. Me, my husband, our buddy and my brother-in-law threw the tubes in the river and started floating. It never dawned on me that the Truckee River is NOT a lazy river for some reason. It moves fast. And has rapids. And drops. It's actually more like one of those rides at Disney. Needless to say, it was a blast, but there were minor injuries. Like this one:

Turns out my arms are too short to reach the water and both of them got a very bad case of rugburn from trying to paddle my way away from rocks and the shore. I also bruised up both knees and sunburned my legs. It was totally worth it though. I would do that again in a heartbeat.

I flew home this morning. Back to work tomorrow!

A moiler is one who toils. In drudgery. Just for added effect.

Hope everyone had an exciting weekend as well.

Much Love,

Warped Wednesday

Well....

I have slacked off a little this week. My Grandad sent me an e-mail today telling me about his day (love you grandad! and granny!) and that e-mail reminded me that I have not updated all week.

It's been a fairly busy week. I have done actual work - for a change. Here is the rest of the week recapped:

I don't remember anything from Monday besides work.

Tuesday I got to come home early from work. And have Starbucks. And Mexican for lunch.

Today I got to do inspections. And come home at a normal time. And workout.

I need to take a nail file to my nails.

I'm convinced we are entering an ice age because we have yet to reach 90 degree temps. In fact, it's been high 70s for quite some time. Its the end of July. Hope you have a lot of coats.

I am enjoying my new ceiling fan that was installed last Friday by the best ceiling fan installation company in town. It keeps me cool. In the cool weather.

That is all. Hope your week has been great!

Much Love,

Stupefy Saturday

This weekend has been good so far. Yesterday, I had a fabulous chiropractor appointment. He manually adjusted me and afterward I was pretty much zen for the rest of the day. Not even any road rage! My hip felt better and still does. It will admit, it is a little awkward having a strange man touch your butt, but hey its definitely worth it!

Today, went with dad to pick out a ceiling fan for my bedroom. Had lunch at PF Chang's (surprise! not) and then the big weekend event. HARRY POTTER. It was good. They glossed over a whole bunch of stuff in the book, but the movie would have been about 5 hours long if they didn't I guess. Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman were my favorites. So that's it. No more HP. Sad. I might be a tween. sigh. Its better than liking the Twilight series, right?

Tomorrow, I have no plans except to do laundry at some point. And grocery shopping. And ride around in my topless jeep :)

Stupefy is a spell to stun your enemies. Ok, I promise I'm done with HP stuff now.

Enjoy your evening!

Much Love,

Transfiguration Thursday

The week is over!

I watched a movie called Insidious with my brother tonight. Don't watch it unless you want a good laugh at a bad attempt at a horror movie. A la Paranormal Activity. With worse acting. We spent the whole time making fun of the movie - a la Mystery Science Theater 3000.

I was very busy at work today which was a nice change. I think next week is looking good for busyness as well. Lots of sampling stuff going on.

I am sleeping in tomorrow! And then going to my second chiropractor appointment.

I had pizza for dinner. It was grand.

Can you say Harry Potter? Oh yes. That will be happening. I will be geeking out slightly.

Transfiguration is a change in form or appearance.

Swish and Flick!
pretend that didn't just happen....

Off to bed!

Much Love,

Trapezoid Tuesday

Nothing remotely interesting happened to me today.
I got rained on in my jeep. That was fabulous.
The week is officially half over.
I am nearly done with a great book called The Glass Castle.
I made my bed today. Just FYI.
I want to go see a movie.
I've already made my iced coffee for tomorrow. It's in the fridge.
I know you are enthralled.

Tomorrow is Wednesday. Hope its great!

Much Love,

Spaghetti Sunday

No creativity tonight, sorry. But I did eat some yummy spaghetti with some good friends of mine. I also washed my jeep.

Here is what it looked like.


I cannot even begin to convey the amount of dust that was on the inside of it. The outside cleaning was the easy part. It has returned to its former glory with the top down.

Tomorrow, is back to work. Joy.

Also, you know your family is close when your Aunt spends her anniversary weekend on a houseboat with her new husband and her ex husband and his partner. And your mom dates your Aunt's ex husband's brother. Just saying. Happy anniversary auntie!

I hope you know what spaghetti is. If not, I am sad for you.

Goodnight to all,

Much Love,

Sopite Saturday

Today was the day. We went back for round 2 to tackle the forest. You see, the first time we were blocked by snow on almost every road. So we figured, wait until July - it will all be melted right? Well, almost. Take a look.......




Craziness! We even came across a guy on a logging road cutting (kid you not) snow off the road with a chainsaw. Had to turn around and go back. It was 67 degrees. It was a fun day anyway. Tomorrow I must clean the 6 inches of dust that accumulated inside and outside the jeep. And take the top off again.

Sopite means to put to sleep.

Hope your day was fantastic!

Much Love,
