My Other Car is a Porsche

This morning on my way to work I was behind this very slow Mercedes Benz, with a personalized license plate (of course). The BENZ4LU is what caught my attention until I realized the "gem" surrounding it. The frame read as follows: "My other car is a Porsche." All I could think of was a quote from Friends when Chandler and Joey's apt gets robbed and they're left with nothing because Joey got into the entertainment center to prove a point to the robber. Anyway, Ross says that he has an extra futon, you know so the guys can use it until they get new furniture and Joey says something like "dude, you don't have to brag, we've got nothing here!" To make a long story short, I thought the same thing about this mid 60s guy owning at least 2 cars totaling more in worth than a house is going for these days. Oh and I was driving my Grandma's old lady Cadillac, so I was already feeling real good about myself. ha

I have seen the World's Largest Thermometer, oh and Louie was there too, and I made him take like 5 identical pictures in the rain at 11:00 at night and it was 40 degrees.

I'm 24...

So even though I'm a week and a half late I thought I would share some fun birthday moments. Louie and I ate Judy's Donuts and went to 4 Clovis/Fresno museums, I went out with friends, ate some slow but pretty good sushi, but most of all laughed a lot and ate some really good french toast (thanks Jess)!! I hope I am never too old, or have too many responsibilities to turn my birthday into a 3 day extravaganza!!!

Desert Fun

My iGoogle Places to See never disappoints. It makes me interested in all these places that are just amazingly beautiful. Louie and I have been talking about making the most out of his desert location for the next ten months and I have just added a few fun weekend trips for us to take. He doesn't know yet, but hopefully he won't get tired of this red rock theme I seem to be into right now.

Grand Canyon, we're hiking down, camping, and climbing back out.

Bryce Canyon National Park, UT, any of my favorite Utahans are welcome to come along.

Horseshoe Bend, AZ just a 3/4 mile walk up to this amazing lookout, no effort at all. Will have to be combined with Grand Canyon adventure...I'm not going all the way to AZ for only 3/4 mile hike.

Zion National Park, UT, like I said, Utah friends meet us there!! :)

We are taking applications at this time for cool travel partners who are interested in participating in any of these adventures. Don't hesitate to sign up below!!!

Caution!

On my way to work this morning I was behind an Alert-O-Lite truck. This is interesting to me because I toured their whole store and facility in college. For those unfamiliar, they are a construction supply store, also specializing in orange cones and traffic blockade signs. Anyway, the point is that I started thinking about all the random field trips I had to take during college for my degree. I have seen glass made (really hot and really smelly), cinder blocks at a concrete making factory, gravel and rocks made and sorted for landscaping, windows and doors at Anlin being fabricated, toured a construction supply store, toured our University's Rec Center when it was still under construction, toured a Madera Winery and I'm sure more that I just can't remember. I also need to add that at most of these places I had to wear a hard hat and steel toed boots (which I later loaned to someone for a Halloween costume! How random was my major?
