Remembering the good o'le days!

In high school I owned a Ford Festiva. I called it my Feisty Festiva because it always gave me trouble. I paid my parents $1000 to have the pleasure of driving it during my teenage years. The money was put towards my college education so I pretty much got the deal of the century. It truly was the perfect vehicle to drive my friends around. I almost got stuck down at the beach when my friends and I decided to ditch. Sorry mom!

I had many experiences with this car. I got in my first wreck, I learned how to use a stick shift and I was the last one in the Roberts family to drive it. I miss my "box on wheels." It had all of the perfect gizmos. I never knew how fast I was going and I didn't know how much gas I had so I had to store a gas tank in my mini trunk, just in case. I don't know about you but I should of won the "best vehicle" in our high school's yearbook. I don't remember who won but their car wasn't as good as mine. Anyone in high school should own a Ford Festiva. Thanks Feisty Festiva for giving me the best years of my life!

Wish List

The Passap E 6000 is on my wish list. It is a knitting machine. It looks a little complicated but I am willing to learn. You can draw your own design on a pattern sheet and the Passap E 6000 reads it and knits the design just as you have drawn it. Pretty cool, eh? I am in the process of creating new patterns for my christmas stockings and think this machine would be a good purchase. I really enjoy knitting but it takes me about a week to make a christmas stocking. If anyone knows anything about this machine, let me know. Someday I'll have one in my own home but for now, it will be in my dreams.

Happy 30th Birthday Adrian

Happy 30th Birthday, Adrian! We celebrated a day early because Adrian had to leave early Monday morning. I woke up at 6am to decorate our kitchen table. Then I went back to bed and waited till Adrian woke me up. After he woke me up I went downstairs to grab a couple presents. He opened his cards, gift from his mother and two gifts from me. I gave him an Athlete cd, socks, and the Juno dvd. He gave me a look that said, "Um, what else?" So I simply said, "Okay, lets go downstairs." I had another gift for him on the table. He opened it and it was Dance, dance revolution. I think he was a little confused because he didn't see any other gifts on the table. So I pulled the XBox 360 from under the table and said, "Happy Birthday." I think he was pretty excited. He has been a little sick so he didn't show any emotion. I had planned to get him the XBox 360 since January so I was glad the day finally arrived. I hope you have a wonderful birthday. I love you Adrian! Thanks for being my English Mexican. Happy Cinco de Mayo!

What a Woman Wants Show

Teresa and I went to the What a Woman Wants show on Saturday. We had a blast trying to dodge all of the sales people. They sure were pushy! We got our hair done and the Israel sales people kept asking us, "Which straightner are you buying? It is only $200." Are you kidding? I felt so uncomfortable the whole time. We also got our nails done and won a free 30 minute massage. We did get a five minute massage and I felt relaxed afterwards. Overall the show was worth the $2.50. We thought there would be more makeovers and maybe a fashion show or two. It was a bunch of different vendors that either wanted your money or wanted you to host a show in your home. I did have a great time. Thanks for going with me Teresa!

Auto Survival Tips

Yesterday, I left my car lights on. This isn't the first time but I have learned a couple auto survival tips. First, have a set of jumper cables in your trunk. Second, have your cell phone in your purse or pocket in case you need to call someone. Third, open up your hood so that a good samaratin can help. You are letting them do service for you. They will receive a ton of blessings. Also, if a good samaratan helps, forget the second step.

I drive a 1995 Honda Civic to work and the car doesn't let me know if I have my lights on. Luckily I had jumper cables so I was able to flag down a good samaratan by opening up my hood. It worked! I had two people ask me if I needed help. It took less than five minutes to get my car up and running. I felt prepared. So if you don't have jumper cables, I suggest you buy some.

Laffy Taffy

Our receptionist, Stephanie, has a candy jar filled with Laffy Taffy and all sorts of fun candy. Each piece of Laffy Taffy candy has two jokes. Today, I grabbed a banana Laffy Taffy and read the jokes. I couldn't stop laughing! It was hilarious. Most of the jokes are very clever but some are reallly lame. Today the jokes are... Why did the skeleton go to the movies by himself? And... What does a bee sit on?

Wait for it.....

Answers:
He had no body to go with him.

Thanks Wonka for making me laugh!

Snow, Snow, and more Snow

It is May 1st and it is snowing. I really don't understand this state. I'm a California girl so I'm used to warm weather. I'm also not used to wearing a coat in May which also happens to be our bithday month. It just better be warm on my birthday because I have the whole day off from work and I want to be outside. It is May 19th if you would like to shower me with gifts. Adrian's birthday is May 5th-Cinco de Mayo. The funny thing about Adrian's birthday is the fact that he doesn't even like mexican food. However, I still like to make it known that his bithday is on Cinco de Mayo. More to come on his birthday...

Anyway, back to the main reason for writing this blog...I think the only positive thing about snow is that you get to go snowboarding. I didn't go snowboarding this year which is kind of embarrassing since we've had enough snow to build a fort, but that is because we have a mortgage. I also didn't go because I really don't know a lot of people that go snowboarding. Adrian has only skied once and I really don't think skiing on "carpet" counts. That is the way he describes it to me. I really would like to go snowboarding with him just so he can see my snowboarding skills. Maybe someday we will go together. For now, I want to be able to answer the standard daily question "How's the weather" by saying, "It is beautiful outside. It is a perfect 75 degrees. It is not snowing." Why do so many people ask about the weather? I guess it is such an easy question that anyone with a tiny bit of intelligence can answer. Well, hopefully today was the last day of snow. It is spring time and I am ready to take long walks with my husband.
