This Poor Bride. If this is for real it is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Can you imagine!!

Halloween

Gabe got a part time job for American Airlines so now he and I can fly pretty darn cheap, so I decided to fly out to Utah for Halloween and Rylee's 5th birthday. It was a great weekend, short but lots of fun. I have the cutest niece and nephews. It was so much fun to go out trick or treating with them. Jordan and Parker were so cute they would just go right up to the door all by themselves. They even tried to go into a few of the houses. Rylee and Gavin also were dressed up so cute. Gavin was more interested in eating his candy then actually trick or treating. It was so fun to just spend time with my family and see some of my friends as well.
I decorated a Princess cake for Rylee's birthday. It was a team effort Lindsay did all the baking and I just decorated it. It turned out really cool. I can't wait for Christmas to see the family again.

THRILLER

The past couple weeks at work we have been teaching the Thriller Dance during one of our aerobic classes. We had a great turn out about 50 people each time. Last night was the Finale Thriller Party. We had a costume contests, dance contests and prizes. I decorated the whole room and dressed up like a Fitness Instructor Zombie. Some Tech students had a Zombie walk on campus before the party and ended at our Thriller Party. It was a lot of fun. But only about 15 people or so came back to do the thriller dance and contest. There were a lot of others zombies and people watching, but I wish more of the people who learned the dance wouldn't of come back for the Finale Night. It was still a good time though. I do have a pretty awesome job!

Richard Simmons comes to Tech (not really)

In the spirit of Halloween, one of my instructors thought it would be funny to dress up like Richard Simmons last night for his Cardio Boxing Class. He bought this costume and took a lot of time on it. Made a back drop and put up 4 posters. Now the posters did say Richard Simmons Comes to Tech. Wear you best 70's and 80's workout gear.

Well apparently a lot of people have had the life long dream of meeting Richard Simmons. The idea behind it was just suppose to fun and playful to encourage people to work out and have fun. No malice was in our plans. Well we had quite a few angry people. Like 60 or so. I guess people really believed he was coming. Now we should of put a disclaimer on the bottom of the sign. But we really didn't promote this. It was just 4 signs and he told his class it wasn't really Richard. Well word got out though and a lot of people really thought he was coming. When Blaine came out in his outfit the faced went from excitement to "what'" and about 60 people left. He still had a lot of people in his class and those who stayed had fun.

Today we got a couple angry emails. I understand they were disappointed but some of these emails were quite rude and they made it seem like we ruined their lives and that we were horrible people for playing this joke. It wasn't a joke it was just suppose to a fun workout event. I just thought with it being Halloween week people would have a better attitude. So just FYI don't tell people Richard Simmons is coming if you can't provide him, he has a bigger following than I thought and those fans don't mess around.

Tonight we have our Michael Jackson Thriller Party; Good think I didn't tell them he was coming :)

Layers

I down loaded this neat new program paint.net. You can edit your pictures in fun ways and layer them on top of each other. I love creating new pictures. Here were my first trys.

Lady Bug Cake

Last night I finished the birthday cake I made for our good friend's little girl for her 1st Birthday. I also made a little pink cake just for her to dig into. I really enjoy decorating cakes because it is a creative outlet but doesn't take to long to see the finished product. Other artistic things frustrate me because you can work on them for weeks and still not be done. I get bored easily so I need something that keeps me interested. If I only had someone to bake the cakes and clean up all the messes and just let me do the decorating it would be perfect. I need my own Crew. Gabe helps out by eating all cake tops I level off and any mess up cakes. What a sweet husband. So if anyone has a special occasion they want me to make a cake for let me know, the only catch is you would have to pick it up in Lubbock TX. I don't deliver! :)

Fair Time

The Lubbock Fair is town. Good Times all around. I mean who doesn't like rides that look 50 years old, food you thought couldn't be fried but is, crazy carnival people trying to entice you to blow 50 bucks on a 3 dollar toy and people of all kinds enjoying the fun. Gabe and I have been to the Fair all 3 summers we have been here. Every Year they have a free country concert. You just have to listen to the radio to find out where they are giving away the tickets. In past years it is has been way easy to get tickets and we always got a bunch for our friends as well.

This year was crazy. They only gave out 2 per person and the first day we went 15 min early the line was hundreds of people long and we didn't stand a chance. I listened every morning and on Wednesday they were giving them away at noon, so I picked up Gabe at 10 from work, brought him camping chair and some pretzels and told him after he dropped me off at work he was going to go straight there. My wonderful husband waiting in line for an hour and half and got me tickets. We got the fair 2 and half hours early for the concert last night hoping to get good seats. Again the line was ridiculously long, we weren't going to be up front anyway so why stand in that line. We walked around and enjoyed all the marvels of a country fair. And I mean country, I live in Lubbock Texas now, its definitely not the fairs back in Ohio and Indiana. About 45 min before the concert they were letting people and the rebels Gabe and I are we kind of just merged into the line and bypassed quite a few people. I know we cut, oh well. We actually got really great seats, first row on the second level. It was tons of fun.

I love country music and hearing songs live that I know. The only thing that drove me crazy, was watching people and the stupid things they do. 1. Why do women feel the need to show off so much skin at concerts. And 99% of the time it was tacky or unflattering anyway. and 2nd I saw a number of small babies there, one that looked weeks old. This concert was so loud. Why would you bring a small baby to it. AHH. Really people. In the words of Billy Currington. God is Great, Beer is Good and People are Crazy. So True, except the beer part for me I'll just change that to chocolate!
