Midnight Snack
What did you do today that made you feel guilty?
Since it is satruday – not much yet!

Recipe for the Week (instead of your recipe for life, what is it just for this week?)
Take control. Do it for you!

IPhone saves the day!

IPhone saves the day.
I got hubby and I tickets to see the Mammoth – Denver’s Lacrosse team. I know, i know, really cool! ;)
I got an email confirming my purchase which included tickets to this Saturday’s game as well as one in march, and coupons to Mad Greens – i mean really , how can you go wrong!
Then i got an email indicating that i should get my butt down to Pepsi center to pick up these fancy tickets becuase the lines on game day are horendously long.
Well, ok, let me get on that!

I head out of the office around high noon. I arrive there in 15 minutes or so.
I finally find the will call section and guess what? The line it out the door. Sigh.

So i get in line.

Finally it is my turn at the window! Yeah me!
I ask for my tickets for this Saturday – i have my license in hand and my credit card used to pay for said tickets – I am prepared!
He returns empty handed.
He asks for confirmation that it was indeed this Saturday, and the mammoth.
I say – yup. It’s the 2 pack thingy, with the additional tickets for the game in march.
He says – Ooooh. The holiday pack and huffs off.
Me – thinking – it’s will call. Is there not just a bucket with names and tickets alphabetized?
He returns empty handed
He asks – are you sure you bought them? Did someone else buy them? Did you put them under another name?
Me – thinking – damn straight i paid for um and they are under my name – says – yes indeed, bought and paid for by me.
He takes my credit cards and runs off again
He returns empty handed
He says – are you sure you paid for them.
Me – hang on – whip out iphone and bring up confirmation of purchace – take that!
He reads it through the glass and says – it says right there to pick it up on the 10th (well it doesn’t really… but ok)
Me – hang on – finds last email which states to get said butt down to will call prior to the 10th to alleviate the long lines on game day
He asks – who sent the email?
Me – thinking – YOU, dumb ass – says – Not sure. Someone from here?
He – reads the second email through the glass…  looks perplexed
He – runs off again
He – returns with a set of tickets which i am pretty sure were not mine. The "receipt" was not stapled to them as is normal process with will call. Staple was there, but was empty.
Me – thank you very much

So I was thrilled to death that my little wondrous phone was able to save me from making a wasted trip!!!

Food 4 Thought Friday ~ This week’s questions

Breakfast

What one word would you put on your gravestone?
Loved
Missed
Punkin

Lunch
What happened today that made you feel good?
Waking up my hubby and seeing his smiling face (he was gone on an overnight and didn’t get home till midnight, so i really only saw a fuzzy shadow when i got my kiss goodnight!

Dinner
Is there something hanging over your head that you need to do right now?
Probably.

Midnight Snack

What are you most looking forward to at this moment? Least looking forward to?
It’s friday!!! I’m looking forward to the end of the day.
Least looking forward to – monday.sigh.

Recipe for the Week (instead of your recipe for life, what is it just for this week?)
Find something positive about every situation.

Ordinary…

I’m ordinary…
My ascent level on Frontier Airlines has expired…  Sigh.

I hadn’t realized the depth of my ordinariness till I attempted to book a flight with hubby.
So sad. So … ordinary.
No more early boarding. No more free direct tv.
No more purple ribon on my luggage.

Sniffle…

Luckily hubby had enough business trips last year so that he has obtained the coveted Ascent level, so i can tag along with him most of the time.
I would be a bit bummed if i was still traveling for work…

Sofar we have 2 trips booked on Frontier by Feb 12, if i keep up thislevel of travel I might get there! Cross your fingers for me!

Happy New Year

Ella has left the building…  :(

Ella has a new destination and a new place to explore! She is departingin the big brown truck and should arrive by the end of the week!

So i guess i need to make my own fun now!

The house is almost back to my normal amount of mess. That is part ofour new process for the new year. Keep the counter clear (fingerscrossed on that one!), and keep all the flat surfaces on the firstfloor clear of clutter. Again… cross your fingers.
I’m thinking that lack of "mess" will give me more of an easy feelingso i can again dable in the arts – a.k.a the garage studio.

New years was pretty low key again. We like it that way!
We visited a friend’s local for make your own pizza’s, yummy wine, and this horrible came called pain point- catch phrase.

Basically it’s like 40 thousand dollar pyramid. but with this machine you have to hold that beeps and continues to beep faster and faster and then times up!! ARG! I did not want to play. I prefer watching games like that. Or at least be with people i know so i can use clues that we have a common thread on. But i had no choice due to my gender, apparently it was decided boys against girls was a fabulous idea… (yes i am being a big old baby!)

Hubby tried to help me (he wasn’t one of the chosen since they had enough of his gender),but he was too busy laughing at my inability to speak. We made it through plenty of rounds of that and then rung in the new year! Cheers,champagne and kisses! Yeah!  We left pretty soon after to beat the drunkards home.
