Catch Up Time

I have been suffering from a bit of writers block lately. It seems like I will go for 2 weeks with lots of new and exciting blogs to pump out to you, and then it crumbles for a couple of weeks. I am determined to not let that happen this time!

Things have been changing all around me in the last few weeks. The fall leaves are starting to show their colours, the weather definitely is getting cooler through the day, and the fall rains are delaying harvest.

Personally a few things are changing too. Work has given me a slightly different role, which means much more leadership on our team which is great. Several friends in the past weeks have started to talk about babies and marriage. There is nothing that makes you realize you are getting older like the talk of babies and marriage!

The next few weeks will be extremely full for me. At work we are just starting our busy season, we are also trying to get a few things wrapped up at the farm before my parents leave for 3 weeks to Australia. There are still show cattle that need to get halter broke for the fall, and sale cattle that need to get worked on too. NY Fashion week also starts this week, so I will be busy watching that and making a wish list just in case I win one of those $50 million dollar jackpots.

Well that's about it for my catching up. I am off for supper with friends tonight, and then back to the piano bar in Edmonton for some fun. I am quickly realizing that I am needing to inject my life with some more fun... so the plan starts now!

Zumba!!

Last week I quickly mentioned that I had went to a Zumba class. My roommate Brett had been going for a few weeks, and kept saying how much fun it was.

Now you have to understand, I hate working out. You will not find me going to a gym just to have "fun". Unless someone is forcing me there, I will not be going!

So I figured I would see what this Zumba thing was all about. The class was 1hr long at the Spa Lady close to our house.

Zumba is a mix of hip hop, latin dancing, and arobics. The classes are a mix of fast and slow paced dances that burn a tone of calories, and give you a really good workout, especially for your legs and core.

I will say that the class was actually really fun. It was kind of like dancing, but an awesome workout. It was easy to follow along, and the class flew by.

If the classes continue though the summer I will definetly be buying a gym membership!

Marcus Adventure

This week as I was going back through some of my blogs, I realized that I had never blogged about our friend Marcus!

Marcus was our new friend that we found in Vegas. While out for supper for Brett's birthday one night, a balloon animal guy came around. He asked us what we were doing later that night, and as we were going to see Thunder from Down Under, he decided to make us a male stripper. We named him Marcus.

That night Marcus toured Vegas with us. It was our mission to show Marcus around and make sure he had a good time.

Marcus bought souvenirs, gambles on the slots, and also came to Thunder from Down Under with us.
We also decided that Marcus would pose in every picture with us that night. Wait! Where is Marcus in this picture?

Oh there he is!

Marcus hanging out in the hotel room after a crazy night. He was a little hung over...

At the end of the night it was a pretty good time. There was lots of things that we can't tell you, because after all what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!

Golfing

Almost 2 years ago I started to golf. It was very natural for me as both my parent’s golf, as do most of my family members on my dad’s side.

Now 2 years later, I am gearing up for year #3 of golfing. In that time I have never taken a lesson, but have become pretty good, or what I think is good anyways.

When I started to golf, I was not going to always have to rent clubs, so after my first round I purchased my clubs. As with anything in my life, I didn’t want ugly or the cheapest ones. I traded up my bag, bough a matching glove, tees, balls, everything had to match!

My skills have definitely improved over the years. I no longer cheat when I am playing, and I have taken the foot club (kicking the ball out of the rough) out of my bag. I think it has made me a better player for it.

This year my goal is to do 18 holes. This is something that I have never done before. It is one of my 101 in 1001 to score under 100on 18 holes. I know that doesn’t seem like much, but when you shoot 45-60 in 9 holes, it will be tough.

We also have a work golf tournament that I am gearing up for. I have never played in a tournament so it should be fun! Of course I have no doubt that there will be plenty of booze and laughs along the way. I got tipped of that they had several tequila shot stations throughout the course last year!

I will keep you posted with my golf progress. I am looking to get a new putter so we will see how that improves my game!

TFLN

Ever had a bad day, or need a laugh, a distraction from life, or to remember the days when you were wild and crazy in college?

Well do I have a cure for you!!

Text from last night is the most genius website invented. Yes it wastes time, and is silly, and some may say a waste of time, however, it does all of the things i mentioned above (makes you laugh, makes a bad day a good day, and distracts you for a few moments)

Now Canadians are just catching onto this site. (Yes I know it has taken us a little while). Most people are still not understanding what it is all about.

The idea behind it is to send it our texts that you sent to other people and post them on the website. Then other people read them and have a chuckle about what you said. The posts are anonymous, other then the area code that you are from is show.

My friend Shaun and I have recently submitted our first post, and no I'm not going to tell you what one it is, other then it is a good one!!

The next time you are down in the dumps and needing a laugh, check out TFLN. Trust me it will brighten your day!
