Lost

Besides Michaels flashbacks and the very end, did anyone else feel like they were watching the same episode all over again? Very frustrating, and what's up with the promo of this episode of The Fate of all the Survivors will be Revealed. Yeah there's lots of food in the hatch, but unless Desmond shares, they ain't getting any.
When they showed the shark under water, did anyone else see a symbol of some sort near the tail? Roommate Ryan thinks it looked like the symbol that was on all the food canisters.
So next week we finally get to meet the Others, and the survivors from the back of the plane so that will be cool. I wonder if they will beable to escape next week also, or if it's going to get dragged out.

The dangers of the Strip

This article is just sick. A guy drove into a crowd of people on the Strip on purpose. One dead and 13 injured, I think 3 are in critical condition. This is a constant worry of mine when I'm on the Strip. The sidewalks are constantly crowded, and there are hardly any barriers between the Bvld and the sidewalk. If a free show is going on, like the Sirens show at Treasure Island, forget it, you're walking on the street. If this had been on a weekend evening, it would have been much worse. I think we're going out Friday night to the Strip....I think I'll stick to one Casino.

LOST

Wow what an intense intro. I can't believe that someone is actually Living in the hatch..and Jack knows him. The guys had to have been down there since the early 80's late 70's? when did DOS computers start coming out? I wonder what he was injecting himself with....to keep whatever he is quarantined for under control? Argh, too many questions, too early in the season to know the answers.
Shannon's "vision" of Walt was very creepy, anyone catch what he was saying?
Next week the focus on the boat more, can't wait to see what happens with them! I hope Walt scares the crap out of the "others", make some more polar bears appear or something.
Great premiere, looking forward to screaming at the TV in frustration for the next several months. =)

Oh the pain..

Last weekend Justin and I joined the Las Vegas Athletic Club. So I've been going about everyother day, and boy am I tired. So far I have been in the women's gym on the stair stepper thing. Today I finally went into the pool and did some laps. Wow. In about 15 min. I was whipped, boy am I out of shape. I was impressed that I could still do a flip turn. So I think about everyother time I'll be in the pool or in the gym. There are a lot of classes to take so I'll probably try to get into those once I get some sort of endurance up.
Other than that, we have now lived in Las Vegas for about two months. Everything is going great, I still love it out here. We're going out tonight, get a couple drinks somewhere. Probably not the Strip, that's too much work to get there..park...walk around..drink...walk back to parking garage...then drive home. Ugh too much for tonight I think.

Pics galore!

I seem to have loaded this pics in no order at all, but anyways I took pics of the state signs as we drove by them. This one is Nevada.

Montana

Utah

Idaho

Hmm sorry this is sideways. Anyways this is poor Simon on his first night in a hotel. His eyes look really strange (at least I notice it) because he's dopped up on kitty mellow pills.

Well here we are before we take off on our moving adventure. I thought it was pretty sweet that our Uhaul had a flouescent rocks on them. Nerdy, I know.

Oh, our last trip to my favorite bar, which I can't spell right now. We are with our newly engaged buddies Britta and Kris, We Miss You!

Mmm, this lovely pic of my muddy feet is from Folk Fest in Canada. It rained all night early in the week, and the result is this, walking around the festival in muck that went up past my feet. I had to throw those sandles away. Sigh.

No Vegas wedding after all..

Lets see...So last Friday I called the Moorhead County Recorder and told them that no one has any idea were the license is. So she was going to send a blank copy first to Pastor Stu then he's sending it to us, then I'll send it to Tammi, who will send it to Jason, who will then send it to the county. All in all, I get my original wedding date which is what I wanted(although a Vegas wedding would have been fabulous). Hopefully this whole process does not take long. My tabs are now overdue, and I really like my car and like to drive it so hopefully it'll only be like two weeks.

This weekend was fabulous. We arrived to Lake Tahoe late Friday night. Peggy and Brad were not at the lake yet, so we decided to stay at Ceasars Palace (we got the last room!) The next morning, I stayed in bed while Justin went downstairs to look for the buffet and to throw afew dollars into his favorite game, the Wheel of Fortune. He comes into the room and wakes me up and tells me that he just won $1000!! Woo Hoo! Our whole weekend now became "free" and boy did we use that money. Along the main road in Tahoe were two craft fairs that we visited while waiting for Peggy and Brad to show up. One of the booths was a rock/fossil sale, as you can imagine we had a really good time there. I found some really good smelling candles, made by a mother and daughter. They don't use the wicks that have the metal in them, which is really nice and the scents I picked up were a combo of Lavender and another scent that I can't spell. Both are really relaxing and I will use when I take a bath before bed.
Peggy and Brad showed up around 1pm, we did some grocery shopping and just hung out at the house the rest of the day. That night we played Jenga, and Yatzee and I had lots of rum&cokes. Yum. I was smart, in that I drank a glass of water for every drink I had so I was feeling just fine in the morning, unlike Brad.
Sunday, the four of us did some shopping in the morning. We visited a sweet rock shop that Justin and I discovered last year on our honeymoon, then we went to a really cool pampered pet store "Two Dogs and a Cat" it was called. I got Simon a red studded collar, and a catnip filled George W. Bush (he loves it, Justin and I enjoy watching Simon flip him in the air and chew on his head.) The rest of the afternoon and evening was spent on their boat in Lake Tahoe. That night, we watched fireworks from the boat and then headed back in. We ate dinner at a locals bar and there was a Jose Cuervo girl there handing out free Cuervo t-shirts, we all got one, hurray!
Monday, Justin and I packed up and took off around 11. Lucky Peggy and Brad are "working remotely" so they are staying at Tahoe for the rest of the week.
So that was my fun weekend. Hope everyone else had a good time.

All I wanted was my NV drivers license.....

So two weeks ago now, I went to the DMV. My tabs expired yesterday, and I wanted to get the whole DMV thing out of the way. I was all over their web-site and had put together a folder of all the paperwork that I would need, I even got there an hour before it even opened to try to get through quickly.
I was quickly shut down. Here I thought I had everything, but apparently my car insurance was not correct because I didn't have my name on it, even though it's under Justin's name but all my car info was on it. Secondly, I found out that I don't have the correct marriage license. Apparently, the one I have been using to change my name is the pretty copy and not the legal one. So I called the county recorder for Ottertail county, which is the county we got married in and got the info I needed to request a marriage license sent to me. So I send them my $9 check and all that stuff. Almost a week later, I get a call from the Ottertail county recorder saying that they didn't have the license, apparently the licenses go to where we applied for the license, which was a diff county, so they would forward the letter on.
Well now I waited about a week, and no license, so I called Clay county (were we applied at) to see what was going on. Apparently, they never got a license after our wedding. So they assumed we never go married. So, since they didn't have the license they suggested calling the officiant that did the wedding, maybe the license accidentally got filled away instead of being sent in. This whole time my mind is reeling...we're not officially married...we're not married....
I call the Pastor that performed the wedding and left a message. He calls back a few hours later, and has no idea where it is. He says he usually gives it to the couple to take care of, but I have no idea if that actually happened. Justin's brother, Jason, the bestman also does not remember what happened to it after it was signed.
So tomorrow I have to call back to the county, and try to figure out what to do. If we are not married, we have already decided to do a Vegas wedding. But who knows what will happen. Tomorrow after work we are leaving for the long weekend to Lake Tahoe so at some point I'll beable to write and tell you all what ends up happening.
