Voting Day!

October 14, 2008

 I have honestly been wondering who I was going to vote for in the elections today, and while debating this with myself I came across two pieces of CRUCIAL information that could help me with my decision!

The first one, entitled “Politics is no place for grown ups”. Its scary how accurate these kids are!:
The second point came from a friend’s FaceBook status:
“________  is reminding everyone to vote – even if they are all duds, you have to vote for whoever you think will screw things up the least!”
:)  
Can’t we just be invaded by the states once Obama wins in the US? I honestly wouldn’t mind!

Apple TV in Canada

Is it worth it or not? Grit and I are thinking of getting rid of cable, as we are sick of ‘surfing’ just to find out not only that there is nothing on, but we are spending money on something we don’t really need! We are big movie buffs though, so we are looking at our options… Having an Apple TV in the US is quite different than having one in Canada. In the US you have virtually an unlimited library of movies to rent (in HD too, no less), and you also have TONS of tv shows (that would cut down on the surfing, and you’d pay only for what you want!)… in Canada, you have a mediocre at best movie library, and the only tv shows are beyond lame… they’re not even worth (in my opinion) the $1.99 per episode!
So, my question is this: are there any Canadians out there that have an Apple TV, or know of any reason I should be swayed into purchasing one?

Home Safe!

October 12, 2008

I am finally home safe, and I am so happy to be able to sleep in my own bed again ;)

I had SUCH a kickass-awesome time in Puerto Vallarta, and I can’t wait to start working on these photos!!! I have already gone through them briefly and I am SO happy with them! Grit and I are having a ‘night in’ tonight so I am just blogging quick and then back to the couch to start watching The Wedding Singer ;)

In the meantime, I want to share with you one of the photos from the fire-dancers that put on a show for Brian and Yari during the reception. It was quite an amazing thing to see and I know this abstract photo doesnt do it justice, but I hope you can get an idea of how cool it COULD have been, had you actually have been there ;)

Ah, Good Times

October 11, 2008

I had such an amazing time at the wedding last night! Brian and Yari made me feel so welcome and their entire group of family and friends was awesome! A sand ceremony at sunset, fire dancers, doing the macarena knee deep in the ocean… Ah, good times.

I am sitting here in my hotel room in Phoenix watching “Me, Myself, and Irene” and I totally forgot how hilarious it was! Of course, since it’s on tv, all the “adult funny” has been cut out (and there’s a lot!). Ah, good times.

Today was my first experience flying in first-class…and I slept through the whole thing… Seconds after takeoff I must have passed out and the next thing I remember was hearing the flight attendant make the announcement that we were landing! I was like my dad watching a movie: falling asleep at the opening credits and then waking up at the closing credits! Ah, good times.

I am so excited to see Grit tomorrow! Rather than me taking the shuttle from Seattle airport back home, Grit has decided to drive down and get me, and then we are heading to the outlet mall before crossing back over the border ;) Ah, good times. ;)

My room with a view!

October 10, 2008

I am in the midst of getting ready for the wedding today and I thought I would share with you the view I have from my hotel suite. This was taken this morning and so far the weather is really cooperating! I just finished breakfast by the pool with ‘the fam’ and I am now taking it easy and prepping for “Game Time”! :)

Take it easy!
