So I was told about a month in advance by my dear friend Jen that I should plan on being ready to do “something” around 4 pm on the day of my birthday yet I was not told what something was. Keep in mind that my birthday is December 22 and it being so close to the holidays, any chance of planning a birthday party are out of the question. I had been telling everyone that we would plan something after the first of the year.
The 22nd of December arrives and I still have no idea what is in store for me. I go to work (dressed in relatively comfy clothes as I was told) and am greeted with an amazing assortment of balloons and a wonderful card from my AWESOME OFFICE! Great way to start the day. So fast forward now (as my day at work rocked) to 3:30. Jen arrives and makes me tie my scarf around my head so I cannot see and get in her car. I’M BLINDFOLDED?
This was not part of the plan but I am going along with it. I’m thinking we are going to get a massage.. maybe go on a hike and get dinner? I have no idea!!!
We drive around a bit and since I have no sense of direction with my eyes open I have no idea where we are going. The car stops and all I can smell is tamales. I instantly think we are at Denaios. I am not sure what we would be doing there but I was sure she has a plan. LOL. I hear rustling in the truck of her car and hope to god she is not going to put me in there. A few minutes go by and I am told I can get out. I get out of her car and realize I am at the Fountains in Roseville and in front of me is a HUGE white stretch hummer limo full of a bunch of my friends ready to go ICE SKATING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes… you read that right… ICE SKATING! As a kid I had the best ice skating birthday parties and it was time to do it up again. I was completely shocked and surprised. I honestly had no idea. I wish I could even put to words how grateful I am for each and every one of my friends. I truly had the best night. Not only did we ice skate and eat pizza but we went on a Christmas light viewing adventure as well. It was a perfect birthday adventure and I am so thankful to have such loving people in my life!!
Happy 29 & 36 months to me!!!!
(sorry about the quality of this video… a friend shot it quickly from his 1992 Zack Morris phone)
This time I was shooting a some pretty bad ass guns and my aim was much better. I got to shoot:
Thompson Submachine Gun .45 Cal (this one was almost 100 years old… from WWII)
Steyr Aug assault rifle (as seen in video)
.40 Cal Smith & Wesson Handgun
M16 rifle
I wanted to give a BIG BIG thank you to my amazing friend who took me out shooting. You seriously MADE MY DAY and I hope you know I will be bribing you to go again. SOOOOOOONNNNNN!
Sooo….. I think I am ready to try out for the next season of Top Shot.
A few of you may know a group of us have gotten together and started our own little “club” if you will called “Real Estate Gone Wild”… or RE Gone Wild for short. The idea behind this group is to make funny parody videos about real estate. We are all in the real estate busienss and love it. Most of the time we get together and talk about our day, make light of our challenges and support each other. Well… we all know that laughter can be the best medicine. And on that note, came the birth of RE Gone Wild.
Our video is called “REO Staging Company“. Enjoy a few outtake from one of the nights of filming. These are just a few of the clips…. more to come soon!
I came across this post I wrote back in 2009 and had to share it with you all and it made me laugh. It was what my dear friend Sierra called me cure for “blog-a-phobia”. ENJOY!
Dear Reply All,
Thank you for all that you do. I just don’t understand why you are not embraced and loved the way I embrace and love you. Most people think of their inbox as some sort of virginal property that must be protected from unsolicited advances. And they can quickly turn against you if they think that you are somehow responsible for sullying that sanctity. I use you with respect and care. I do not send spam or junk. You make my life easier and time efficient.
**To those who hate reply all…. Maybe you should just ignore it, continue complaining, and use the overzealous e-mails as a conversation starter next to the water cooler. If you ask me a question I already answered in the reply all email, please understand when I look at you with a face full of despair and raise a middle finger.
So my dear friend… thank you again for letting me love you and allowing me to share that love with everyone all at once.
A little uncut video of us in the car on our way to shoot a fun video about how cool it is to be a Jamba Juice Ambassador of WOW… And how I need your votes for the National Ambassador of WOW…. That is a lot of WOW.
And don’t forget… I need your votes to win the National Ambassador title!!
Well… I am a little sad to say I did not bring home 1st place in the 2011 KCRA 3 A-List contest as one of the best “Local Blogger“. However, I guess I am not too upset as there were 63 nominees and I did come in 11th…. AND… I do kind of suck as posting regularly. Heck, I am suppose to be vlogging and I have been way off my game there. (but I have been videoing… just not posting… so more to come! PROMISE!)
Anyhow, I just want to thank all of you who did vote. I LOVE LOVE LOVE all of you. Honestly, you know how much The Meghan Show means to me and I truly could not than you enough. You all mean the world to me.
