Charity Ball

Last Saturday night the Tri-Valley YSA Ward had it's annual Charity Ball. This year I was not in charge of it and got to go and just enjoy it. Callie and I got there a little late but found some good friends to sit with and just enjoyed the time there.

Phantom of the Opera

Last Thursday night a group of us girls went to the city to see The Phantom of the Opera. It was so fun to get dressed up and go to the city. It wasn't my favorite showing I have seen but the music was still amazing. Thank you Sheila for setting up this girls night out.

Old Photos

I found these photos in an old email a friend sent me and thought I would post them. The first is a group of us that went to the Mid-Singles Halloween Party.


This one is a close up of my roommates costume. We had a few too many laughs putting this one together. Can you guess who she is? Hope you picked Ugly Betty.



The next one is a group of us at the Mid-Singles Conference in October. The first night of the conference in San Francisco on top of the Metreon.



Okay so the last one is on Tami's Birthday and we decided to have High Tea at the Fairmont in San Francisco. It was a really fun eating all the little morsels of food they brought out for us.

Uh Oh

Okay for the last week my Father has been asking me what the first rule of working with sharp objects was. For those who don't know the first rule, second rule, third rule, fourth rule and on and on is "Safety First". Okay Dad I got it. So apparently I wasn't very safe on Monday night when I was cutting the last piece of sheet rock for the night at my step-brothers house and slipped and sliced open my thumb. As soon as I looked at what I had done I knew I was off to the emergency room. So, Susan grabbed a washcloth to hold around my thumb, Lance ran in the other room for alcohol, and bandage material (thank you Lance)and Cheryl got my things and took me. I haven't really figured out why my Dad didn't take me but I am grateful for Cheryl willing to wait three hours at the emergency room while I sat there waiting to see a doctor. So as I sat on my bed in my assigned room my nurse, which they called Q-Tip just watched me. So finally after an hour and a half she finally asked if I had seen a doctor. I told her no and she went to check. She came back and told me the doctor was looking at my x-rays and would be right with me. I looked at her confused and told her I never took x-rays and she figured out I was the "laceration". So after all that and listening to the lady next to me talk to herself and pretty much everyone else in the room about her stomach problems the doctor came over. He looked at my thumb, asked me a few questions and went to find the glue. So three hours later I finally got discharged with a glued thumb all bandaged up, a tetnis shot and some good pain pills. What a night.

Yosemite

This past weekend a group of us went up to a cabin outside of Yosemite. It was a much needed getaway. We spent the weekend playing pool, darts, watching movies, playing cards and of course eating. On Saturday we drove into Yosemite Park and hiked around. The weather was gorgeous. You couldn't of asked for a better fall day in the mountains.

Caution!

Just a little cautionary note: Come rainy season and you want to get some new pots and you go to Home Depot after a little rain. Don't pull down pots that are upside down and the rims are full of water or this might happen to you.



Yes, this happened to Melissa on night we ran to Home Depot. She was soaking wet and we laughed really hard. We just kept imagining that there was a surveillance camera pointed at us and the guys doing surveillance we laughing just as hard. It was something out of America's Funniest Home Video. To bad we didn't have a video at the time. Yes, that is water down the front of Melissa and her hair was wet also.

Bored

I don't know if anyone would enjoy this post but Callie, Melissa and I, but I thought I would share. So the other night Melissa and I were hanging out and Callie was coming over. Callie was really wanted to know what Melissa and I were wearing. She wanted to know if it was okay to come over in here pajamas to hangout with us. I said that was fine. As soon as I hung up I ran upstairs and asked Melissa if she had any old prom dresses or bridesmaid dresses. I told Melissa how Callie was wondering what we were wearing and I thought it would be fun for here to show up and we would be sitting there all done up. Okay a little silly but we had some great laughs over it. So Melissa and I proceeded to put on our dresses and curl our hair all up and put on a ton of makeup. We look ridiculous. We hurried downstairs and waited for Callie's arrival. Callie came fifteen minutes later. Let's just say Callie couldn't figure out what was going on but once she put it all together we all laughed pretty hard. Good times with great friends.


I picked to wear a bridesmaid dress from Erika's wedding


As Callie came in Melissa was also reading Better Homes and Gardens.

Never a surprise in the City....

So this past weekend Sheila invited me and a few friends to go to the city to have a picnic at Crissy Field. We all meet at Sheila's house and took two cars to the city. Sheila and her family in one and Steve, Emily, Kim and I in my car. All was well until it was time to get off in the city to cut over to Crissy Field. We went one way and Sheila's car went another. Following my navigation is great sometime but it doesn't tell you when something is going on and there's a lot of traffic. Yes, it took us another 45 to an hour to get to Crissy Field due to the "Love Fest" You can only imagine what we saw in the city.

Not quite sure....

Let's just say there was alot of interesting outfits to see.

This is the real reason it took so long. Steve just wanted one more picture of this group of girls. Who gave Steve my camera?

But after a little re-navigating we made it and it was a beautiful day in the City!





Got to love Sheila and Steve always wanting to be in the picture.

I Have Finally Done It

Okay I have finally joined this world. Like I have said I would do for some time now. Be patient with me cause writing is not my thing.
