Getting Carried Away...

With the Sex and the City movie opening up in theaters TODAY, I can’t help but take a moment to reminisce some of my favorite moments in SATC history. Some hysterical, some memorable, but all fabulous!

Carrie: “It's really hard to walk in a single woman's shoes -- that's why you sometimes need really special shoes!”

Carrie decided to be friends with Big, only to find out that he was engaged to Natasha (“the idiot stick figure with no soul”).

Miranda : Do any of you have a completely unremarkable friend or maybe a houseplant I could go to dinner with on Saturday night?

Carrie went to where Big’s engagement party was being held and the two of them met on the street (just like Katie and Hubbell did in “The Way We Were”). “Your girl is lovely, Hubbell,” Carrie said. “I don’t get it,” Big responded. Carrie looked at him sadly and said, “And you never did.”

Carrie farted while in bed with Mr. Big, it was hard not to empathize. Mortified, she hid under the covers. “It might be worse under there,” Big said laughing.

When Aidan made the mistake of asking for half of Carrie’s closet, things got ugly and she walked out. “You can stay here with your shoe-eating dog and you can knock yourself out putting on the Rogaine and the Speed Stick,” Carrie said.

Miranda: I once was broken up with by a guy's doorman: "I'm sorry, Ms. Hobbes, Jonathan won't be coming down. Ever."

After Big tells Carrie he is moving to Napa because he's tired. "If you're tired you take a nap-a. You don't move to Napa."

Tornado Victim?

Is this sign a tornado victim? Or did I miss the memo on the new red octagon shaped street sign? Do I need to come to a complete stop when I see this “pots” sign? Or should I just calmly reminisce about the many “pots” I’ve cooked in? Hmmm…..

Spring Pink

My flashy silver glitter tips are gone. :( BUT now I have fun spring pink glitter nails. It's more like a raspberry color, but it's way cute!

I know I've said this before but it's annoying...I have this problem every three weeks. Ugh!! Honestly, about 8 out of 10 times, I want to just do white. How boring is that? I love the white, it's so classic and so pretty, but the glitter with color is just so fun! Why me??? Oh and this time around, the dilemma carried with it the weight of "this will be the color you have for Houston...so choose wisely". Choose wisely........what is that from? Here's the task, someone...anyone please tell me what that is from! And please hurry before I go crazy!

New Hairstyle...

So tell me what you think? It was done on a whim, but I really like it. Yeah...I like it as much as I would like eating my own leg! Ok, Ok....seriously...I didn't dye my hair this color...no worries. AND boy....aren't we ALL glad?!?!?!

Laramie Tornado

In case you missed it, wait who am I kidding? How could you miss it? YES, Laramie had a tornado, now climb out from under that rock you've been living under! :) Here's a picture that was caught on a cell phone.

Never Say Never...

I've grown up saying "natural disasters" in Laramie, yeah right! BUT I'll never say never again. Today at about 1:35pm, a small tornado touched down on the East side of Laramie. I've been stuck here at work, but apparently fences are all over the road, street lights are twisted around, garage doors ripped off, bleachers from the high school stadium on the road, the roof of a gas station gone, and a semi blown over in the middle of the interstate. It's pretty freaky, but I'll never say never again. It can happen anywhere....anytime.

Proud Moment.......Gone.

I've always been really proud of the candy basket at my desk. It's filled with delicious Twix, Snickers, Reese's PB cups, Jolly Ranchers, Caramels, Royal Toffees, Nestle Crunch, Nestle Milk Chocolate, Butterfinger, Baby Ruth, Kit Kat, Three Musketeers, Milky Way, and the occasional Air Head. People come in and out of my office all day picking at my basket. Some days, it dwindles faster than others, but I'm praised daily on how "yummy it all looks" or how I have "the best candy dish in town". It's sort of how I make friends, but let's not talk about that. Just kidding. Well today, I glanced up at my "basket" to make sure it was still looking "yummy". OUCH!!! What is that? I found the most disheartening piece of chocolate I've ever seen. This poor little "snickers", it looked as though ...the snickers machine got hungry and only spit out part of a delicious treat. Sorry, but this "snickers" didn't and would never satisfy. Needless to say, my basket is in tears and I'm working to rebuild her confidence. Hang in there little basket!

Say My Name...Say My Name..

AND they did!!! I was the lucky winner of a $50.00 dollar bill last night! As Data from the Goonies says “Fifty dolla bell, fifty dolla bell!!!” We went to BAH (Business After Hours), which is a social gathering of sorts with drawings and yummy appetizers from different local restaurants around town. It’s usually every other Thursday and a different business will host each time. Well this week was hosted by the Laramie Area Visitor’s Center. They are trying to promote the Ice Arena for events and such, other than just hockey and ice skating. It’s really pretty cool inside. Last night was my first time there. Eeek, I know..I need to support the community better. Get off my back, would ya? Long story short, it came time for our favorite part of the evening….the cash drawing!! “say my name…say my name”, I whispered as they reached in the bowl……………”KRISTI NELSON” My first reaction was to jump on the table and do a “I just won 50 dollars” dance, but my realization of the rep I gotta protect kicked in. I clapped and smiled and said “yay!!!” The moral of the story: WAIT..there’s a moral in this….hehe. My moral in this: “Being a winner, feel so dang good!”

It's a Love Affair...in Pairs!

I bought another new pair of shoes. I know, you're thinking "of course she did...when doesn't she buy a new pair of shoes?" I'll just say it...women share two weaknesses: men and shoes. Ok..it's out there! Between me and you, I think it's mostly shoes! Honestly, my love affair with shoes started a long time ago. I remember running around the neighborhood in tap shoes. Yeah..that clackety clack noise all the time. Hey I loved it! I was certain it shouted, "cool". I loved those plastic high heels with the gold elastic straps. We'd buy them at the "Alco", honestly a pair lasted like 3 days and then ya had to talk mom into buying a new pair. Yeah...luckily, they didn't break the bank. Hmm...at least, I don't think they did. My mom was always so willing to get me a new pair, ohh she's the devil....aiding in the obsession...I understand now. Oh and I'm telling you, nothing beat driving up to "Payless Shoe Source" and picking out a new pair of tennis shoes or church shoes. I loved the smell of them. Yes, that cheap leather..mmm..and plastic soles. Ya know the kind that when it got cold outside, your shoes froze up and made an even louder and more annoying clackety clack noise than the tap shoes. Ok, I never had those shoes, but I hated (no offense) that sound in the winter when some kid would walk by with his frozen plastic soled shoes and all I could hear was "clack clack". I know that doesn't make much sense since I LOVED the sound my my tap shoes, but hey that's different. Tap shoes are supposed to sound like that and it was a pretty dancey sounding clackety clack. Plus..it meant I was "cool". Anyway...I love shoes! Check out my new ones!!

I've Got Friends in Low Places

Or should I say, I’ve got friends in the tire well of my car. Ok…yeah..NO! I’m pretty sure there is a reason Garth Brooks didn’t sing those words… #1 I’m positive he didn’t walk out to his car the VERY day the song was written, only to find a squirrel hanging out on his tire. #2 That song wasn’t even written by Garth! #3 The song was written by Earl Bud Lee. Oh and apparently the idea of the song was born when he and some songwriting friends gathered for lunch one day at Tavern on the Row. When the check came, Lee realized he had forgotten his money. He was asked how he was going to pay for the meal, and he replied, "Don't worry. I have friends in low places. I know the cook." #4 Well there is no # 4, but you get the point. BUT yes it’s true, I walked out to my car (yes, my cute convertible car) at lunch time and found a “friend” in a low place…my tire well. FUNNY side note. Kermit just came in the office and said “I just saw a squirrel climb into the tire well of Mike’s car.” So apparently…we have tire well climbing squirrels in our parking lot.

Cruisin' With The Top Down

So here it is....my cute lil' car with the top down! Isn't it so cute?

It's a Convertible

As promised….here’s my new car. Janine and I actually took it for a spin with the top down last night…woohoo! We got plenty of looks..hehe. Tyler calls it a “transformer” and he named it “Jazz”. If any of you don’t know anything about Transformers (shame on you) Jazz is a Pontiac and since my car is a Pontiac....he named it Jazz. See it makes sense? Tyler loves it….probably as much as I do. I can’t wait for more and more fun warm weather so we can cruise in “Jazz” with the top down. :)

Guess who?

Guess who bought a new car? It's me, silly!! I'll post pictures tonight...or tomorrow. Man this blogging thing has been hard the last few days. I'm so busy! Be patient!
