Def Leopard = Great People Watching....

So last night me and my husband went out with a few friends to the Def Leopard and Heart concert.  It was super interesting.  I got to see the old-school rockers, little teeny boppers trying to get in the 80's group, and then there were quite a few older people trying to pull of the young hip look.  It was great and super entertaining as was the concert.  Nancy Wilson of Heart can really tear it up on the guitar.  I seriously doubt I could ever be as good as her on the guitar.  Ann Wilson, her sister, has an amazing voice.  It was absolutely one of the most powerful things I had heard in a while.  Def Leopard was good.  Over all it was just a really nice night for a pretty chill concert.  Highly RECOMMENDED!!!

Kickboxing hurts the abs....

So I tried a Kickboxing fitness class for the first time yesterday.   I have to say this was a lot of fun, but holy cow did I feel the pain today.  It was very energetic and I really liked the motivation provided by actually going to the class.  Halfway through we had to get these gliders out and I had no clue what they were for and thought oh these will be fun.  I warn you now these things are of the devil.  You place your feet on them and use your legs to slide your feet either out to the sides or you act like you are running only in push up mode the entire time.  These actions, I thought, would actually kill me so I had to take a little break at that point in the program.  I plan to get better at this some day......But kickboxing is fun and I think all should give it a try.

Retaining Wall....

So I feel I have spent most of my summer building this:
My Beautiful Retaining wall:

Trust me, the way it looked before was not pretty.  Just an ugly mound of rocks that had to be removed beforehand.

I have NOT forgotten to Blog.....

So, yes I do realize that I said I would blog every other day, but unfortunately I forgot to account for my sometimes crazy hectic schedule that can and does creep up on me.  This week has been crazy busy between work, picking out tile, visiting with friends, and trying to make it to a yoga class.  Also this is the first week of classes at the nearby college which is putting a serious cramp in my traveling time getting to and from work.  Anyways I hope to be back at this tomorrow with the promised post of the wonderful retaining wall I built this summer.

Xtra-Life

Ok, so I am trying to make sure that I am writing every other day and was really going to spend time discussing the wonderful retaining wall I built, but alas I waited till too late and can't take a picture of the wonderful wall.  So I will tell you about a little event me and a few friends are planning for on October 15th.  It is a 24 hour long video game marathon to help raise money for kids.  I am joining a team and all the proceeds that anyone donates to our team will go to the Children's hospital here in Denver.  If anyone would like to donate you can follow the link below:

Thanks for all your help!!!!!!

Grapes of Wrath

I really love to read and lately I have been trying to read classics.  Grapes of Wrath has been among the books that I have read.  This is a tale I strongly recommend for our society today.  Especially with so many people that feel they are entitled to something.  This is a fictional tale that shows many of the hardships of the great depression.  You will find dear characters that truly want to work and take care of their family, but what they found was a cold hard world that didn't care.  I learned that while we need welfare programs to prevent starvation of our people, we also should in some way instill the value of work that these people had.  I loved this story and highly suggest it to anyone.

My Very First Blog Post!!!!

Ok so maybe this post is lame, but I thought I should have a proper introductory post to my Blog.  So this is my blog (in case you haven't figured that out yet)....BEWARE  I can be very opinionated sometimes.  Also know that this is a blog about anything and everything that makes up my life.  So when you get on here and it seems that my thought are a scattered, jumbled mess...Well WELCOME to my life!!! I hope you all enjoy!

Your Truly,
