gagaaa

I absolutely hated this video the first time I watched it, but after the third or fourth viewing, I now think it's fascinating. reminds me so much of Madonna... it's a good one-

training will take the life out of you! I am already ready for bed and it's 8pm... ridic. I just got back from Patty's aunt's house- their golden retriever Lizzie had her puppies today! oh, my goodness, they were SO cute. small and squeaky and rollie pollie ollie :) it was cool to see what they were like immediately after birth (seriously, one had been born minutes before I got there) and I can't wait to come back in a couple weeks to see how they've grown. Patts' aunt and uncle were like proud lil parents... adorable. I love puppies!!

tomorrow is the last day of training and then I head back to the Springs. I am ready to get back to my own puppy, miss Molly, and back to my own bed. I am also super excited to finalize everything for school and to throw myself back into work... lots of good things ahead. next week we have early Thanksgiving at my parents' house and I can't wait for that either!

nighty night ;)

Denver time!

ahh, I love this city! work sent me here for a few days to take some training classes and I am already making the most of it! my momma and I met in Cherry Creek this morning to do some "business attire" shopping :) I have a few things but really needed to get a few more quality basics. we shopped til we dropped! I found some great charcoal gray pants, a classic black blazer, a super cute tan blazer (from Urban Outfitters!), and a simple black button down. I would love a few more button downs--they are my favorite and I have a bunch already--and I need some good shoes, but overall we did good :) we also went out the lunch and grabbed some coffee... it was great, as always, to see my momma and I can't wait for next week. we are having an early family Thanksgiving and I can't wait to go home!

I came to my hotel after shopping and got all checked in, watched some of the Giants/Chargers game, and ironed my clothes for tomorrow. then I headed to Patty's aunt's house and we had a mini girls night over there. her aunt Poppy was amazing and got us some Chinese food from Little Ollie's... YUM. we drank a little wine and talked and watched tv... very relaxing and SO good to see her. we are planning on having date nights for the rest of my time in Denver :)

now I'm back at the hotel and all ready for bed. it's early but I am looking forward to snuggling in and being ready to go for tomorrow! I'm kind of nervous to meet all the people but it should be good... it's all going to pay off later, I just have to remember that. (ps I have the Cowboys game on and Tony Romo will never be unattractive!)

GORGEOUS.

please check this outfit out. love Ann Taylor and AT Loft. Momma and I are going shopping on Sunday for business attire for my start at Enterprise... I'm inventorying my closet and looking at outfit ideas. this would probably not be the best work outfit, but it's still verrry cute.

go see it here

I LOVE this song by Jesse McCartney and T Pain. my favorite part is the "parlez-vous francais?" fantastic!

guess who I met (and flirted with!) today?

Desmond Howard! yep, Heisman Trophy winner, Superbowl MVP, former player for the Raiders/Jags/Lions/Redskins/Packers (ugh.)... All of the guys from ESPN's College Gameday came in for the Army versus Air Force game on Saturday, and they all rented cars from me this morning. The other commentators--Kirk Herbstreit, Chris Fowler--were super chill and Desmond was preeeetty hot :) all the boys at work were SO excited he was coming. when he first came to the counter, it was my boss, the girl I'm training, and myself. like everyone who comes to the counter, we ask for their last name on the reservation and then their driver's license. when he said his last name was Howard, it was silent for about 30 seconds! finally I just spoke up and said, "so... you're here for the big game, huh?" and he was like, "that's right!" then I let the beans spill about how we've been watching for him all day :)

woohoo for football!

go baby go!

this may be overkill..

since it is my fourth? post of the day, but I couldn't resist. Ellen is one of my favorite people in the whole world-
