TIGGER!


Here he is a couple years before I met him... so cute!


Tigger is trying to get on the new blanket that I made for Baby Crowe. He Loves new material!!!



These next two just cracked me up.... he is laying on my bed (which he loves), but this time, he is on a plastic bag!!!!! I can't imagine how comfortable that really is!!!




So here I am with Tiggy, and he's trying to bite my hands! It's a love-hate relationship!! hahaha




I am gonna miss this cat! At first, I was a little weary of liking him. He's kinda shy and skittish... but, I was able to spend some quality time with him... and now he's my favorite! He will cuttle with me and I give him big kisses on his little head =) He's such a cutie pie! He will be missed! He knows I wake up early, so he comes scratching at my door around 7:30 in the morning to get my attention! That darn cat, he likes me so much, he won't let me sleep in (or he just wants me to feed him.. I like to believe in the first idea!)

REGIONAL GALA!!!











We got all dressed up for the semi-formal regional gala... Basically a church dance! IT was loads of fun and got to head up to the Boston area! It was quite the adventure (started late, couldn't find a place to park, had to walk in the freezing cold, got terrible cafe food). However, I got my groove on like I usually do and made the night a fun filled dance experience for all =)

La Salette's Christmas Lights!!







This huge Catholic Church that puts up tons of Christmas lights every year! I got the pleasure of seeing this years display =)

A Poem Written by an African Shakespeare

Dear white fella
Couple things you should know
When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in sun, I black
When I cold, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black.

You white fella
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you grey.
And you have the cheek to call me colored?????

HAPPY THANKSGIVING...YESTERDAY

I wish I could say that I have some pics, but I don't! It was a good Holiday with food and friends. Thanks Lindsy for letting me enjoy this Holiday with you and your Family =) It's been great being out here! All in all, it was a chill Thanksgiving, which always my kind of day off =)

Getting Picked up on by an old man....

So Lindsy, Lindsy's mom, and I went to Savers (a thrift store) to check what we could find. As I am looking at the board games, some man (probably around his 40's) asks me where a Salvation Army store might be. Obviously, I am not from this area and told him I was from Cali. I asked Lindsy to help him out. He got his info, but he didn't leave. He started to chit chat about how he is from Vegas, and he's visiting some friends. He loves the thrift stores and always finds something great. I am not sure if I really got a whole sentence in with the guy chatting it up with me. Anyway, he just apparently like me, and was like, " Skye, I think you have a great personality. If I weren't old enough to be your dad, I would ask you out!" WHOA, wasn't expecting that, which made this a little more awkward. So, I tried getting away without being too obvious that I was uncomfortable. Every time I thought he was going, he just came right back and started talking. About 20 min later, I was with Lindsy, and he come to show me that he found a great bag for traveling and asked if I found anything. Man, he just didn't want to leave me alone. Luckily, he must have gone, because that was the last that I saw of him =)

My Kind of Workout!

Exercise for people OVER 40 :

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.
With a 5-lb potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.
Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.
After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato sacks.
Then try 50-lb potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute.


After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks

As an FHE activity, we decided to hit up the Factory of Terror, WHICH WAS SO MUCH FUN! They did an amazing job at scaring me!!!! Granted, I am not that hard to scare... BUT, I really like getting into it because it makes for a better experience. People were jumping out of different places making me scream like a little girl! hahahah.... There was a Freddy Kruger that kept stalking me, which was so super creepy =) They had this one room that was spinning and it felt like you were going to fall over. One random guy jumped out from a dark area, and I screamed bloody Murder (which only made him laugh), Two second later in a different room... Low and behold, there he is again making me SCREAM! It was great... We just looked at each other and laughed in the end =) Man, haunted houses are the BOMB!

Vegas...or Bust!






For the second half of the Utah trip, Lindsy, Ashleigh, Linsey and I headed to VEGAS! It was quite the trip! I got pulled over for a fix-it ticket (luckily!)... it was such a scary moment! Good thing I wasn't speeding =)


Linsey's family was kind enough to let us stay at their house =) So we saved tons of money there! We ended up seeing Cirque du Soliel! WOW...super fantastic show!!!!! All in all, we had tons of fun in Sin City!
