Best weekend EVER!!

I'm a week behind, so here's last week's rundown -

Holy crap - BEST. WEEKEND. EVER. This was the weekend that I was not at liberty to discuss in last week's blog post and it was amazing!! The whole weekend was to celebrate Wendi lady's BIG 4-0 and celebrate we did! Her husband Chris surprised her and rented a 4200 square foot log cabin out in Sequim. He then filled it with all of her favorite people; including her sister, Mandi who flew out from Michigan to help celebrate! We started off the weekend by pre-funking on the way there in Wilson (Chris & Wendi's motor home, for those who haven't already met him.) 

This time it wasn't me barfing, it was Mario - before we even got there! Thank you, Pete!! He spent the first three hours of our weekend on the motor home bathroom floor. Very nice! The rest of the weekend we all spent drinking, riding bikes, ziplining, playing extreme air hockey, soaking in the hot tub and listening to Justin Hale's Band (minus the band. LOL!) play some awesome music. It was such a great time! Not a whole lot of pictures were taken as most of the people with cameras were drunk and otherwise engaged, but here are some pics that made it.

Prefunking in the motorhome on the way there!

Tif and I. Not sure what we were doing or why....

Mario napped and Chris did dirty things to him.

She was done for the night!

It's true. LOL!

Hats in the bathtub.

Oh! And I got a new hair cut and color on Friday. I've been wanting something new and different, so I went with long layers and super dark. Here's what I ended up with. I'm kind of digging it; it's sassy!!

News Article/Current Event -

• There are just some things you wish you could unknow... - While I am a total, hardcore pro-choice kind of girl, this made me absolutely sick. 
• It's never too late for Facebook! - 105 years old and checking Facebook for bday wishes; that's one rockin' granny!
• Why the hell can't I get this lucky?! - All I ever end up with in Vegas is empty pockets and a hangover. 
• Could Twilight be the worst movie of the year? YUP!! - This one is for you Tiffany!! LOL!
  
• Bestiality tops gonorrhea! - WOOHOO!! Every state is bad at something, I guess.

Current Obsession -  Ecotools brushes are this week's obsession. They're cheap and awesome and I'm missing the eye brush set. How could this be?! And I need another foundation brush so I can rotate when I wash them. That brush takes forever to dry!

What I'm Looking Forward to in the Week Ahead - 

Not too much going on this week. Tif and I are going to hit the mall on Wednesday. Hopefully, Wendi and Missy will be able to join us. Tif needs a new shirt and I'll be shopping for makeup. Big surprise! Last week we hit the mall and both picked up a new MAC shadow in a color called "Club". It is AMAZING! Because it's a duochrome color, you can create a smoky eye using just one color. Watch how to do it here.

We don't have any big plans for the weekend either. I started emptying out the guest room this weekend so I can get my exercise room up and running. The guest bed and our big chair-and-a-half + ottoman are seriously holding up my flow. I'm going to try and get those out of there next weekend and get them into storage. I have my treadmill, recumbant bike and health rider to set up and depending on how much room is left, I'd like to add a rowing machine and elliptical. I miss working out!!

Weight Update - Last weekend did me in - I'm up .8 pounds. No matter; it's a new week and we're back on track! Will weigh in again this Friday. On a slightly related note, Mario and I signed up for The Warrior Dash along with some of our friends. I'm pretty sure we'll die while doing it, but at least we can say we tried!

Texts From Last Night "Text of the Week" -

(910) So just in case you wake up on the couch wondering how you got there - you came home at 7am, put ice in a cup, then you proceeded to put the cup in the microwave to melt it because you "wanted water". You then, fell down the stairs while saying "you don't know me", then crawled to the couch.

And Finally, My Gripe - OH, the flooding!! Every damn year. Hwy. 203 was closed today due to "water over the roadway". UGH. It took me over an hour and a half to get to work last week since I had to go ALL the way around the valley to get to Redmond. This is a little sample of what we've had to deal with up here in rural Snohomish county this year. Here are some pictures of the 2009 flooding - the worst I've seen since we've lived up here.

The only other bridge across the valley -
this one is the first to flood and when it does,
I know it's time to head home from work! 

This is the bridge I drive over everyday to get to work.
The river normally only runs in the right 1/4 of this picture.
