8 random things

I liked Tori's idea of the 8 random things post so much that I stole it. I hope she doesn't mind.

1- I am really bummed because I am not going to Colorado today for the Colorado blogging partay. I feel like I am so close yet so far away. With my Dad living in Denver Colorado is almost like a second home to me. We travel to Denver often, it is exactly 400 miles from my driveway to my Dad's driveway. I would give almost anything to be able to go there this weekend to see Suzanne and Tori again and to meet more blogging friends. Oh, the agony.

2- We are leaving town this weekend, just the wrong direction. We are headed north to Bismarck, North Dakota. This weekend is our Ward Family Temple Trip. We originally had planned to make it a mini family vacation but hubby has been too busy at work to be able to get extra time off.

3-For those not in the know my hubby does body work - he fixes wrecked cars. Earlier this year we were a little worried because business was slow and he gets paid commission. If there isn't work he doesn't get paid. We've been praying and praying that the work would pick up. Our prayers were answered in the form of several bad hail storms around the area in July. Business has definitely picked up. I feel bad that we make money off of people's misfortunes, but somebody has to fix the damage right?

4- I am anxiously awaiting my order from overstock.com. The other day I ordered New Moon and Eclipse. I can hardly wait to get these next books by Stephenie Myer and continue reading this series! I also decided to order an ABBA CD. While in Utah my mom treated me to a night out including tickets to Mama Mia! This is a musical based on the songs by the singing group ABBA. I grew up listening to ABBA's music. I loved this musical. The storyline, though quite funny at times, was a little racy, but the music was unbelievable. It was a lot of fun. Since then I have been craving more so I finally broke down and bought this. I honestly don't know which one I am more excited about, the books or the CD.

5- School starts in 18 days. I have really enjoyed this summer as I have mentioned before, but I am also looking forward to getting back into the school routine. I miss going to the gym which has been all but impossible during the summer because I can't drag myself out of bed at 5:00 in the morning to go before Scott leaves for work. I know that the start of school means the end of a relaxing summer and the beginning of a hectic school year. It seems like it only gets busier each year. Somehow I thrive on it though.

6- Last night I saw The Bourne Ultimatum, again. Scott and I went to see it last week. We are huge Bourne fans and were not disappointed. Last night I went to dinner with some ladies from church to celebrate one of their birthdays. After dinner it was decided that we didn't want the fun to end so we should go see a movie. I confessed mentioned my secret love for Matt Damon and talked them all into going to see The Bourne Ultimatum. After we bought our tickets I mentioned that maybe we should have seen Becoming Jane instead since we were without our husbands after all. Naaaahh.....Matt Damon!

7- Have you ever accidentally published your post before you were done typing it? Sorry if I confused anyone. Proof once again that I am clueless at this whole internet/blogging/computer thing.

8- I really need to get off the computer and get off my hiney and get packing. Hopefully Hubby will be home by noon so we can leave. Have a great weekend!
