a crafty weekend!

i had quite a crafty weekend!

i got this table from work - it was pretty ugly, but for $10, i couldn't pass it up!

here's the final product - i don't LOVE it, but it's ok. maybe in a few months, i'll just sand it down and start over again... who knows!

....also, i made this halloween banner. there's 2 of each, and i still need to get something to attach them to, but not too bad for my first banner! i think frankstein and the candy corn are my favorites.

i also did a little scrapbooking, got some crafts ready to finish up this week, and helped my friend make some cute birthday buckets.

too bad that i have a full-time job and can't craft this much every weekend!

my newest love

i finally got my road bike!!

and although i've only been on one ride so far,

i'm already in love!

[maybe it's because it's yellow - who knows?!!]

best day at work. ever.

Last week, the accounting department went to Park City at the Olympic Park for a "Team Building" day - it was great! We started with yummy box lunches from Kneaders - sitting outside and enjoying the fresh air while we ate was SO much better than eating at my cubicle! After eating, we did the 2 ziplines, then the Alpine Slide....and then the Bobsled. That's right - the same track from the Olympics. It was A.W.E.S.O.M.E. SO awesome! Our sled was going 70.3 miles an hour - I can't even explain how great it was!! Each sled had a professional driver, and then 3 of us employees. Here's the whole group afterwards:

And a few more pics from the day......

These three girls make my work days survivable!

Jill, JoyLyn and Steph

Proof that I have a huge head. Me and all the boys wore the large helmets. JoyLyn has an extra small helmet on. I don't know why we thought this was so funny, but J and I seriously couldn't stop laughing!

See... I wasn't lying. Best day at work. Ever.

two years ago today... THIS happened

and my, oh my.... how things have changed.

Happy Birthday!

to my cute little nephew who turns ONE today!!

you're adorable, and I can't resist squeezing those cheeks of yours!!

Sad Day :(

Tuesday, I got in my first car accident....

It was a sad day, but no one got hurt – which is always a good thing!! I was stopped at a stop light, right behind a pink Mary Kay Escalade (I wish I was kidding, but I’m not!), and the pinkness of her car inspired me to check out my nails and wonder if Mary Kay had any cuticle crème that could fix my poor little cuticles. Anyway…. I saw the cars in the left turn lane start moving, and I could have sworn that I saw Pink Escalade move, and so I let my foot off the brake, and CRASH!!! I seriously rolled into the back of her car, and that’s what happened! I guess she had started moving too because she thought our light was green, and then realized it was red and put her brakes back on.

The irony of the whole situation… I was on my way to the car shop to get my car checked out, and then bam… crash….

[so sad to say goodbye to my car as they towed it away....]

Oh, and the name of the officer that wrote up the ticket and accident… Officer Prettyman. Not joking at all. That part seriously made my day!!! The poor guy though – he’s probably been made fun of his entire life!

Happy B-Day Dr. Seuss

[what would the world do without him!!]

we got a sign on our building!!

once the accounting department moves into our new space, it will be my fifth move since I started working here 1 1/2 years ago!! we're on the 5th floor, and I'm really hoping for a window view facing the mountains. keep your fingers crossed for me!
