Embarrassment, Ferris Wheels, Police Cars and Legends

Since my last post I have had several questions about what really happened. So I am about to give a mass update about several things. Ok, here it goes!

1. CAN YOU SAY MORTIFIED!
Ok, so you all probably saw that I posted a really attractive picture of my friend and then suddenly blocked my blog and removed the post. You all probably thought that he saw the post and that embarrassed me. Well that isn't at all what happened. My hot Texas man friend knows that I find him very attractive, and I am good enough friends with him that I could blog about his hotness and he be OK with it! If I felt he or I would be embarrassed by that I wouldn't have ever posted it. But what followed that post is something I never would have imagined happening!

On Monday in class I got text from a friend who works with me and has also read my blog and left a comment. In her text she said go delete your post and make your blog private. At this point I feel a little panic start to rise and so I asked her if something had happened to create this sense of urgency. She said that yes something had happened. Two people had read my blog and then asked her about it. Those two people were the head honchos of my place of employment! Oh yes!

Apparently when you type in the name of where I work, it sends them (they are like the CEO's of this company)an email telling them that someone had written about the company in a blog! So these two men had read my blog and now had evidence on three of their employees!

When I found this out I went three shades of red and thought my heart was going to explode! Now I knew everyone where I worked would hear about it and know I was the girl who wrote about how I like to oogle all the men where I work!

It really is funny now but at the time I could not have been more embarrassed! So lets this all be a lesson to you on being careful what you type in your blog. You never know who is reading!

2. THE GREA
T STATE FAIR OF TEXAS!

One of my life goals is to ride the Ferris Wheel at the State Fair of Texas. And last night I accomplished that goal! We had so much fun making ourselves sick on fried foods and rides.


One of the girls, Suzanne, is a recent transplant from Utah so we tried to teach her a few things about our "culture" as she calls it!


















The Ferris Wheel! It actually made me sick to look down from it. The wind rocking the cage didn't help but the view was beautiful with all the lights!








































Me and Suzanne...escapees from Happy Valley...





















Heidi with her "fried" Snickers!















As you can see us Texans like all things fried. There was even chicken fried bacon and fried cheesecake, fried snowballs, Oreos and even Coke!





















BIG TEX!















This is right after we had gotten off some horrible ride that some man designed to make you want to lose everything you have eaten in the last week!















We had about much fun as we possibly could and decided it was time to leave..our stomachs couldn't handle anymore! Then the thought came: How do we get out and where did we park? This is something you might want to remember next time you are at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas...at night...with all girls.

We continued to wander for what seemed like an eternity...the police we asked several different times did NOT give good directions and we walked the streets aimlessly! So as we entered the half vacant parking lot I begin to get a bit uneasy. After all we are in Dallas! But thank goodness for the Dallas city police officer who gave us lost girls a very long ride back to our car!

Now the following picture is us in the backseat of a Dallas police car. And let me tell you it is really uncomfortable...the seats are really hard plastic and there are bars everywhere!


I can now say that I have been to the Texas State fair and survived!










3. THE LEGEND
When I was 18 I fell in love with Paul Newman. He is the epitome of sex appeal. He is beautiful and I am so sad that he has died.









My Favorite Quote from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid:

"Boy, you know every time I see Hole-in-the-Wall again, it's like seeing it fresh for the first time.

And every time that happens, I keep asking myself the same question: how could I be so damn stupid to keep coming back here?"

This entry was removed due to the most embarassing thing that has ever happened to me! It's a really funny story and maybe one day I will blog about it! But until then this is all you get!

Music Junkie

Most of you probably don't know that I am a music junkie. I have about 5000 songs on my computer but still I find it necessary to obtain more. I love finding new music. Itunes has helped with this (they have about 3 you can download each week for free) but I often find that I have a new favorite song because I hear it played in commercials. From this I have learned to a lot of "classic rock" songs. (This is how I discovered Styx...Mr. Roboto)
I usually will take that song and play it to death while I drive to work and school..which is a lot of driving time. So I have decided to add a section to my blog called Song of the Week so that you can see what song I will have killed by the end of the week. Then you too can go and try to kill it.
Well today I saw this commercial and I knew instantly I needed that song. Except for the fact that I can't find it to download or anywhere really. It is a cover of the song Space Odditity that David Bowie did. Here it is done by a band called Cat Power. (She also did the song Sea of Love from the movie Juno). Anyway, I hope you love it as much as I do. I think it is an awesome commercial.
