Sharing is Caring

Once my friend and I went shopping for home goods.

Instead of anything homey we found this gift.

It is like Mad Libs, but in ceramic home goods gift giving form.

I sure do love Mad Libs; however, I cannot take credit for the words filled in.

I am just not that funny.

The recipient is one lucky friend.

Shark Week

This is what an average trifecta coffee night looks like.

Looks like a lot of fun.

It always is at this house.

You can read another take on the night here: http://cinnamoninit.blogspot.com/2009/10/miso-how-knee-this-event-looks-bananas.html

It is waaaaay more animated and creative than I could ever be.

Newfound Dog Love

Turns out there is one dog that change my cold hearted ways of throwing up when I am around dogs. Yes, it is true. I actually heart a dog. His name is Hector. He is the best dog that has ever lived.

I was invited to dog sit his cuteness for one solid week. Best week ever. Well except the part where I was laid off, but that doesn't count in the best department. Plus! I got to hang out in Salt Lake all week.

Below is the batty, yet priceless, note I received upon entering the house to hang out with Hector. Dog sitting in 2009 is like being a teenager again. Pizza money!

Mostly I love the drawing of the HDMI cable on this one.

Ming and Ping

Early on in the fall of 09' Ming and Ping came to town.

The last time I saw them it was one big dance party, and everyone knows I hate to miss a good dance party.

Fall of 09' was no different.

Dear Ming and Ping,

I love the way you dress and dancing to your hits.

One of the best decisions I have ever made was to work at Nordstrom. I met some enjoyable people/besties; two of which are missing from the picture below.

This guy went to my high school.

We were not that close then, but we are good friends now.

Sometimes we bowl. Sometimes we text battle.

It is way better than being in high school.

Dance off central.

I am pretty sure Drew is dictating dance moves here.

I was T minus five seconds from executing them, and clearly happy about it.

This guy is an incredible photographer and fun to hang out with.

You might be lucky to meet him, but he recently disappeared due to love.

Good luck finding him.

Once upon a time my nephew left the following note on top of his suitcase before a family vacation.

Translation: "Do not put this book in the suitcase. Love Brady"

Sop kaks! Best new word for a suitcase in the history of cool new words.

Kids equal funny.

Birthday Party

In September this little guy, who is no longer little, had a birthday. We went to Pirate Island which is a pirate themed restaurant slash center of fun.

I love my nephew.

He is probably going to invent something incredible for the construction industry one day. He is genius in the ways of Bob the Builder.

This is his pirate face.

His little brother could not resist getting in on the pirate look either.

Killed it.
Thumbs up to Pirate Island.

Why? Because they have paper hats, skeeball, and the timed hoop shooting basketball game.

I like to try and beat my both of my brother's scores.

It is called sibling rivalry. We have a touch of it...or maybe I just have a touch of it.

Somehow I am always a few points behind in sporty spice-ness.

It is okay though, because look how happy we are being pirates.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah's

Fun. Fun. Fun.
