Diets!

For those of you that didn't know, I resigned from my job at the mirage the 1st of June for reasons that I will explain later. Ever since then, I had all these ideas of fun things I would do to occupy my time. I was going to start scrapbooking all of my pics that are just sitting in a pile. I was going to take a kick boxing class. Most of all, I was going to try to get into major shape since i have all this time on my hands. I had intentions on going to the gym five days a week and was going to try my hardest to eat healthy. NOT!!!!! I am so lazy. What excuse do I have now? I can't say I am too busy because I have NOTHING TO DO! Explain to my why when you go on a diet, you natrually crave all the filthy, unhealthy food that you know you can't have. Let me give you a few examples:

Do these items look good to you? They sure as heck look amazing to me. This is the kind of junk I crave all the time!!! So to help me stay uninfluenced, I was going to hire a personal trainer to set me up with a meal plan and keep me on track so I can get a trained booty. Let me give you a few examples of the new diet:


Do these items look good to you? I can't say they look all the appealing to me. Hopefully this personal trainer whips me into shape and it better be worth it for having to eat this garbage. I know some of you are looking at the veggies and you are thinking that it looks fresh and yummy. I hate you guys! Why can't I enjoy these foods!!!

Puppy!

For months I have been trying to convince Keith to let me get a dog. No easy task. I have tried to make deals, begged in a pathedic fashion and he is set on no. His reasoning: Poop all over the place. Usually the dog subject is followed by the baby subject. We both can't wait to have one, but what I can't seem to understand is how he he says no to a dog for the fact that they poop everywhere, but doesn't a baby poop too? Hmm..... I have mentioned this to him before. I have to laugh everytime we discuss it because maybe he doesn't seem to realize that babies do more than poop. I have tried to convince him to get a small dog, big dog, hire a pooper scooper, hire a trainer. I am out of ideas. He asked me if there was a dog that didn't bark. What?? Is he serious? He counteroffered me by saying that when we have a baby, then we can get a dog. The order of things seems to be a little backwards. Someone please convice him that I need a dog!!!

Keith's Birthday!!!

This weekend was Keith's birthday. We got a bunch of our friends together and had dinner at this yummy brazilian restaurant. My girlfriend was in charge of getting the cake and she did a great job. If you can't quite see what is written on his forehead: "I Love Renae" It was way too funny. We all had a great time!

For the actual day of Keith's birthday, I planned a suprise to trip to Mt Charleston. This is what Nevada considers a mountain. I had carefully planned all the details and had the car all packed up. All Keith had to do was get in the car. We were on our way until I realize I had forgotten on very important detail. The Directions! After heading the wrong way, Keith figured it out and put me on the right track. Shoot!

We arrived at our hotel which was a old style cottage type of a place. We unloaded, grabed a bite to eat. We were anxious to get out and explore the area. Our activity was put on hold due to rain. Shoot again! I am beginning to wonder if anything I had planned was going to work out. At this point, I spoke too soon. I had a suprise for him with a cute little cake and candles with all of his presents when we got back to the room. What does he do? Knocks over all the candles and we almost burn down the hotel. To answer my question. No! Nothing is going to go right!

The next day we get up, get and I had yet another activity planned. What does every person want in the am? A hearty breakfast. We head to the restaurant, I was eyeballing their breakfast selections when a server tells us that they are not yet open. Hmmm... It ws 9 at this point. " I am sorry, we do not open intil 11." "So you open for breakfast around lunch time?" He looked confused at this point. We decided to head to a coffee shop. A bagel and some oj sounded just as good. Who comes over to help us? Yep, the little server. He must run the whole hotel. He tells me he is out of bagels, out of oj and the muffins in the case are for display only. Really!!! All I wanted was some freakin breakfast. Famished and seriously confused, we headed to a nearby hotel to eat. The next on the agenda was a hike. I gather the only directions I have and suprise suprise, they lead us to no where and we had to stop and ask. Seriously!! After I about died hiking halfway up the mountain, we get to our destination: Mary Jane Falls. Umm... No. More like Mary Jane drip. All the sweat and panting for a trickle down the side of the mt. Yes, that is me in the pic next to the drip. So the suprise didn't go exactly how I imagined it and we had a few road blocks, but the weekend ended up being a blast!

California!!!

Sorry i haven't had a chance to write much lately. I have been super busy with wedding planning. I was getting a little stressed out and stir crazy so two of my girlfriends and I decided that we needed a little time away so we decided to road trip it out to California to relax on the beach in the sun. It couldn't have come at a better time! I needed a break. There was no tentative plan. Just fly by the seat of ur pants and do what ever sounded fun.

The trip didn't get off to a wonderful start. The car rental place was not too organized so we ended up getting a two hour late start. Then what do they give us? Some tin can suzuki that couldn't make it up any hills. Great on gas, but we got honked at the whole trip. Once we got to our destination: Hermosa Beach, the rest of the trip went smooth. We got wonderful massages, layed on the beach, and ate like crazy. I think I gained about ten lbs on the trip. I love California, but every time I go there, makes me realize how crazy and busy the life style is. Yes, more crazy then Vegas if one can believe that.
