This is what I found about people born on October 17th…

You desire harmony, love, companionship, and peace with people; and you enjoy ease and comfort. You have great inner strength. You prefer kindness and thoughtfulness to the alternatives. As a dreamer and visionary, you desire others to know the necessity of living true to ideals.
Many people call themselves your friend. You are a natural peacemaker and diplomat.
You present yourself as a special individual, imbued with self-reliance, originality, and strong will power. You often appear witty and dignified, and enjoy being around other go-getters. With a definite goal, you can be enormously productive.
You have integrity and are kind, patient, cheerful, artistic, creative, and a constant source of pleasure. And use your inspiration and imagination to spread your happiness by direct people contact and by writing, speaking, music, painting, decorating, or acting.
You are a social person and enjoy entertaining and being entertained -- talkative and usually well dressed.

In all, I’m truly blessed this X number of years into my life. I have an awesome family that love me and care for my happiness, I have numerous friends who are always there for me and many of who have been truly great examples to me. I’m a member of the Lord’s church, I have a wonderful job, I have a house to call home, I have an adorable nephew that idolizes me (it’s true), and I’m happy!! Thank you.....all of you!

It's that time again....

After my own personal hiatus from blogging....I'm back!!

I thought I could free up some time and find myself less busy, but honestly I feel like my life is split between bookkeeping (AGAIN) and ........GHOST TOURS!! When can a girl catch a break? BUT yes, it's that time of year again....the pumpkins, goblins, and the haunts come out and practically eat up all my spare time! We have a 3 very full groups, the Horsebarn group, the Downtown group, and the Prison group. Each group consists of about 35-40 Wyo Tech students. The AWESOME Horsebarn group is graced by none other than....me. Oh and Janine..hehehe. Janine is the sound booth and light technician. Ooooo..she's certified AND she's the ONLY person allowed in the sound booth. Ooooo again! Isn't she so special? I'm the Horsebarn Manager, which loosely translates to "stage director" or at times "babysitter". The first tour starts Saturday, October 18th. I was lucky enough to get my mom to black out Friday.....it's my birthday!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo! Another year of astounding beauty slapped on my back! :)

Ghost Tours...thus far...has been fun, but holy cow...I hope I survive!

The Excited Witness

So today, we didn’t have our lunch meeting..Woo! Hoo! The two attorneys that usually meet with us are in mediation and legislative meetings. Luckily… none of the other attorneys had new shark stories that needed discussing. Hehe.

AND…I have more great news......I’m getting a new phone!!! I can’t wait! It should be here today. It’s the new LG Env2 from Verizon. I’m way overdue for a new phone. Ohh wow..let me tell ya the story. So, I bought the LG Venus in January and it’s been nothing but problem after problem. In March, it totally malfunctioned and lost network connection. I had to drive to Cheyenne for a replacement phone. I get everything programmed back in my phone, life’s good! (wait…isn’t that the LG slogan?) Weird! Anyway, in July, I plugged my phone in to charge, with confidence that it would be charged and ready for the next day. On my way out the door, upon unplugging my phone, it died. I plugged it back in and it came right on. Basically, the phone wouldn’t stay on…unless it was plugged in. Kind of takes away from the idea that it’s a “mobile” phone. So, I make another trip to Cheyenne and get my phone replaced. Everything’s good again and 3 days..yes…3 days later..my phone broke in two pieces. I call Verizon and they willingly mail me another replacement since I’ve made trip after trip to Cheyenne. Yay…new phone arrived on August 7 and now it just randomly turns off in the middle of conversations and the thing looks like I’ve had it for 2 years. It’s so ugly. WELL I’m finally finally finally getting a new phone…that isn’t a crappy Venus.

And now…the lovely......”Witness Wednesday”

Something I’ve witnessed in the past: The “Alley Cats” (my bowling team when I was in 4th grade) winning 1st place in our league! I still have the trophy to prove it!

Something I’ve witnessed today: My cute little convertible car getting an oil change, oh and that means she’s getting a bath too! Yay for GM Auto!

Something I want to witness in the future: The movie “Speed Racer”, don’t laugh......I really haven’t seen it yet.

May the "force" be with you....

The calm (3 months) before the storm

In case you didn’t know by now, I live in Wyoming. As far as tropical storms go, that’s a big NEVER here! BUT I’ve got friends in low places…or sometimes known as Texas, so I’m keeping a watchful eye on “Ike” because honestly….storms of that nature (huge and freaky) scare me! So I’m posting some happier times by the Seawall...... Good luck Texas!

AND once again....what song just popped in your head?

Rainy days and Thursdays always get me down…

Another rainy day in Laramie today and I can say without a doubt in my mind….I’m tired of it. This girl needs some sun! Ok, what are my options? 1. I can go tanning…ahhh…the cocoon of sunny warmth! 2. I can turn up the heat and block all the windows and set up a palm tree, maybe throw in some Luau music. 3. I can go to sleep (I love sleeping) and not wake up till Saturday morning. I guess I’ll just quit whining. Ok done!

BUT there is some silver lining to all this lack of sun in my life…..I’m heading to the sun in 23 days! California here I come! Maybe I’ll throw in a little Disneyland as well. HA! Who am I kidding?!?! I’m going to Disneyland for 2 days!!! Guess who is also coming with me? My favorite little guy, Tyler!!!!

Ok, sidenote....What fabulous singer did my title make you all think of?
