Thursday Things

Happy Thursday..and it's kinda my Friday!!!! (since Eric and I will be in Colorado this weekend! YAY!)

So, I'm blogging randomness I'm excited about and feel the compulsion to share. First thing.. I just realized next week is... wait for it...wait for it... JUST THE MOST EXCITING TV WEEK OF ALL TIME... better known as SHARK WEEK! Okay, maybe I'm being a leetle overdramatic, but I love Shark Week. A lot. Bucket list item: cage shark dive. and not with wussy sharks. with tigers or hammerheads or great whites. Yes, I'm serious.

*imagine me pretending to be a shark at my desk...b/c it just happened*

And Jen blogged about this yesterday... I'd had NO idea. I'm so excited about this! Did you read Sweet Valley High when you were younger?! I read it, I watched the tv show, I was a junkie for those stories! Anyway, the writer is coming out with a "10 years later" book! Love.it.
Do you need hours of entertainment...or at least a few minutes? My friend at work sent me this blog and um.. it's silent-laugh-mode hilarious. It makes fun of all the catalog scenes in things like p!ttery barn, etc. Here: Catalog Living.

Finally, my friend just joined the bloggy world! If you have a moment, pop over and say hello and welcome her to the blogtastic community! (I like saying things like "bloggy" and "blogtastic" and pretty much any other random made up word involving 'blog') :) Heather's blog.
Hope everyone is gearing up for a fabulous weekend! If anyone has suggestions of things to see, do, eat, shop, whatever in Denver, please let me know! We have some things planned, but will still have plenty of free time to check stuff out!

Sharks huh?!! Eeeek...they are wet-your-pants SCARY!!! Our valet guy here @ the hotel in Hawaii just got nudged by a TIGER SHARK last week when he was hunting lobster at night. Freaked me out enough to not go in the ocean for the last few days...or EVER again :)-

Safe travels to you & your man. Enjoy Colorado!

Thanks for the reminder about Shark Week! I am excited about that book too. I have a lot on my list right now. I don't know where you are staying in Denver or if you will have a car but if you can make it to Elway's it is SO worth it! Pretty much any steakhouse there is amazing. We love Denver so much! Did you watch real world Denver? We went before real world filmed there and had dinner one night at rock bottom. Hubby thinks their beer taste like soap and their service at their restaurant in sd one time wasn't great but when we sat outside right in lodo in Denver is was wonderful!

Kristen said...

Everyone is so excited about Shark Week, but it scares me to death! I would never, ever swim with sharks-you are one brave lady!
