ASU Basketball

Last night made my February, when the longest rival came together in the Valley of the Sun!! hahaha I know I am dork....but my friends and I headed to the ASU vs. UofA basketball last night and had a blast intentfully watching the boys clinch a victory.  Although the game was a little to close for comfort at the end they always say a win is a win sooo.......

Fork em Devils!!  Keep it going!!!

Em the Little Ninj: Champion Snowboarder

Em has been busy busy the last few weekends going on Ninja missions, jammin on rails and rocking Bluemedia. The last two weekends Em has competed in Rail Jams. For those of you that don't know (aka Me a couple weeks ago) it's a snowboarding competition. She did one in Phoenix and then traveled to Snow Bowl last weekend. 

Em placed third in the first competition (definitely rigged) and she took home 1st last weekend, Go EM!!!  Needless to say Emily is an amazing snowboarder and has been winning competitions state wide, YYYEEEAA!! 

Go Ninja, Go Ninja Go! Here is a pic of Em trying to show her moves on the rail (crazy cool photo). I am so proud little buddy wish I would have been there..... What are you going to conquer next????

Megan needs...

So I saw this on Jen's Blog and I thought it was kind of funny and cute, so I thought why not....

So here's how it works. You Google your first name plus the word 'needs' and post the first ten on the list. For example, I typed "Megan needs" and this is what I got:

1. The only thing that Megan needs help with at this point is in the area of responsiveness.
2. Megan needs an ass kicking, now!
3. Megan needs to get Sarah’s contact information from Glenda. Megan needs a makeover.
4. Megan needs a very quiet home in a place with few or no thunder storms and lots of sunshine.
5. Megan needs to learn how to cultivate good customers.
6. Megan needs a summer intern.
7. Megan needs a dress rehearsal.
8. Megan needs a theme song.
9. Megan needs a Vegan coach.
10. Megan needs daily around the clock care.

Lolol these are hilarious, interesting and some are a little harsh.

A Very Harry Saturday.

Last night Jess and I were looking for something different to do.  After thinking it through we decided to head to Rooster's (Amazing little dive bar in Mesa).  Rooster's has awesome deals, great live music and some of the best people watching I've ever seen (even better than the airport).  

Andra, Jess, Brit and I headed to Roosters and had a night filled with drinks, lots of laughter, 2 stepping and catching up with the old roomies.

Harry Luge was playing too :-) Check him out because he is amazing and playing at Country Thunder again this year. Here is a video of him performing my favorite song, Rattlesnake Road!!! Sorry if your not a country fan!

More and more redecorating...

Busy cleaning yet once again..... I feel like that is always how I spend my Sundays.  Em and I headed to IKEA this Sunday.  Sometimes think I could spend my entire day there just getting ideas and other days I can't stand IKEA because it is toooo crowd, luckily today was a good day :-)  After hours of searching I of course got some cute vases and plants and finally found a new t.v. stand.  I have spent hours looking for a basic, black and cheap t.v. stand.  

Pretty cute don't you think?  Anyways my living room is officially complete and I absolutely love it!!  There is no better feeling than using your style to decorate your own place.  I'll have to host a party soon.  Now off to work on the bedroom.....hmmm any cute ideas??

Vegas Baby.... Ninjas Unite!!

This past weekend the girls (Jess and Em) and I headed to Vegas.  We packed up the Blue Beauty with snacks, jams, shoes and tons of clothes and headed west.  We met up with KRIIISS and Esteven and had a jam packed weekend on the strip. 

 We filled our weekend with gambling, eating, sleeping, drinks, dancing and ninja missions.  

We had a blast meeting lots of new people(Ninjas and taxi drivers) and we spent countless hours giggling in bed..... yea!  Another yet amazing weekend, so here are a few pictures from Em's cam since mine is still broken :-(  

Sorry this post is so short but you know what they say..... What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas....

I snagged yet another blogging idea....

Some of my fellow bloggers (Thanks, Tay) are doing a cute thing and writing 6 random facts about themselves on their blog.  Since I don't have a working camera, I thought this will be perfect for a post so here it goes.......

#1: I absolutely am in love with Arizona State University (I know not very random) but seriously very few people understand how truly much I love this place.  The campus, the people, the sporting events, Mill, Sparky, Sunshine ahhh...

I had so many amazing memories and it made me stay in AZ (see Lee there is a reason to like it).  I will buy anything within reason that says ASU (a bike, clothing, make my own shoes the sky is the limit).  Don't worry it is so bad that I will never be able to date someone who doesn't love ASU just as much as I do.

#2: I love traveling and most importantly I want to go to Greece.  I can't help but love the pictures of the blue ocean and the white houses.  

There is no picture (place) that calms me more than Greece.  Someday I will go and it will be AMAZING.....

#3: I can not stand the words "moist" and "crevice".  I strongly distaste these words and some of my friends know this and choose to use it to their advantage, ahahaha!  Thank goodness there are no pictures for this fact, ewww wouldn't that be gross.

#4: I have a small addiction to Juicy Couture sweatsuits (the girls at work say it's cute, hope there not lying).  They are just soooo relaxing, I can't help it.  I have 11 hoodies and only about half matching bottoms.  There is just nothing better than a fun colored hoodie :-)

#5: My favorite snack that I rarely eat enough is Frito's and ketchup.  I mean talk about delicious!!! 

I know what you're thinking so just gooo and get some and if that is not what you were thinking still go and get some!!

#6: My last and final random fact is I love things that light up.  It seems that whenever I am at an event I always find something that lights up (cocktail or not).  Hints my huge light up glasses for the last two New Years, a light mug, a light up bling ring and let's not forget 4 light up swords that Emily and I broke fighting at Country Thunder.  Ahhhhhh who doesn't love a good blink :-)  

Check out this sweet top maybe my next big purchase.

Good news is I am geek and now it's officially know after these 6 random facts, Love it!!

Everyone should do this, I would love to know more fun facts....

:-(

Sorry Bloggers friends....

No recent post

No cute pictures

No exciting friend posts

because my camera is broken :-(  

Hopefully soon the problem will be fixed... until then..... Work till friday and then VEGAS with some of my favorite girls (Happy Early Birthday Kris)  I can't wait!!!!

You can always check out some of my friends cute blogs while you wait......

I mean how adorable...

as I am laying on the couch...  I came across these adorable capes for kids!! I mean how creative, man I wish I came up with cute ideas like this....check them out.    Do they come in adult sizes??  :-)

And check out this adorable shoes that one of Nie Nie's friends make.... totally custom and unique!!  Love it, I might just have to order some!!

Superbowl Commercials

It's a sad day in Phoenix.  Since everyone won't quit talking about the Superbowl, I thought I would highlight my favorite thing about Superbowl Sunday.... COMMERCIALS.  Since I spent a lot of my weekend feeling under the weather, it was nice to sit back and watch some pretty funny commercials this year.  Here are my top favorites...

#5....GE-Wizard of Oz (My all time favorite movie made into a short commercial.....perfect)

#4....Gatorade- Mission G (So basic yet so cool, nothing better than Manning being a G)

#3....SoBe- Dancers 

#2....Etrade- Babies (Always a classic)

#1....Bridgestone- Mr. Potato Head (Hands down funniest commercial I've seen in awhile)

I hope everyone enjoyed the game even though it didn't turn out how we wanted :-(  

What were your favorite commercials???

FBR: The Phoenix Open-- Long overdue

I finally got my camera back so I am finally able to post about all the weekend events, it is officially event season.  The FBR was once again so much fun.  John, Kurt, Em, Jess and I headed out early and stayed all night :-)

Bluemedia does all the signage so we were able to get some tickets to FBR.  It was crazy to run into both sets of friends within 30 minutes of being at the event.  If you know anything about how CRAZY packed FBR is, you know that running into friends is extremely difficult. 

I think I might have been lucky if I watched one person tee off (don't tell my Dad) but I had a blast at the Tilted Kilt tent and of course the Bird's Nest rocking out to the band.  Got to love the live music and crazy outfits, only in Scottsdale!!
