I can not believe that we stood on the phone until 1am! LOL Thank you so much for calling, I really missed talking to you and I had way too much fun! And I don't care what you say! I do NOT sound like those people from the movie FARGO! ROFLMAO

Anthony woke me up way too early but he didn't want scrambled eggs, today he wanted waffles. Of course we don't have any waffles because I still haven't went to the grocery store! I so hate grocery shopping! It is like the most torturous thing I have to do. There are days when people pretty much annoy me in general but grocery stores seem to be the worst source of annoyment. I have actually talked myself out of grocery shopping many times, there have been times when John and I have been in the parking lot of the grocery store trying to talk ourselves into actually going in and at the same time we look at each other and say "let's go out to eat". I am not even exaggerating here. It is so sad!

Well, before I head off to do the zillion and one things I have to do today here is my Friday Five:

1. Where were you born?
Denver, Colorado

2. If you still live there, where would you rather move to? If you don't live there, do you want to move back? Why or why not?
Although I was born in Denver I was raised in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I did move back to Denver (Aurora actually) as an adult and although I miss the mountains and the awesome weather (remember I'm comparing it to weather in Fargo, North Dakota) I don't really miss all of the people, traffic, crime, etc. As for Wyoming, you couldn't pay me enough to ever go back there again! I can't imagine living in a town where I would constantly run into people from high school, how annoying would that be?

3. Where in the world do you feel the safest?
Right here at home in boring Fargo, North Dakota.

4. Do you feel you are well-traveled?
I don't know, more than some I guess, I've lived in California and have visited many states such as Arizona, Montanta, Utah, Nevada, Alaska; I've been to Canada and Mexico, but I've never been to Europe and I would love to go to Ireland some day so I guess I would have to say no, I don't feel as if I am well-traveled.

5. Where is the most interesting place you've been?
I guess interesting I would have to say Arizona, I spent a week there with a friend and we spent the entire time visiting old Native American cave and cliff dwellings. We had a guided tour through this awesome canyon which was just amazing because there were so many cliff dwellings that were still intact. I think that was definitely the most interesting place I've ever been to although I must say Alaska is the most gorgeous state I've ever been to. If I could live anywhere in the US I would have to pick Alaska.

Now I remember why I don't eat peanut butter. Blech! You know I really need to go grocery shopping when I resort to eating peanut butter for lunch!

On Tuesday Anthony and I spent the morning at the zoo. It's not very big, but hey we're in Fargo, North Dakota, what do you expect? lol We had fun feeding the goats and ducks and riding the carousel. Anthony is so afraid of the horses because he thinks they go up too high, so we sat together on the little bench and went round and round. We were the only people riding because it was so early and the nice lady running the ride gave us an extra long ride. Anthony wanted to go again but Mommy needed a break. hehe It was almost noon and after hours of walking and walking we were both getting tired and it was sooo hot that day, we took a little break and I bought him a cup of dippin dots. He has had them at the circus and he loves them, but it's so funny to see him eat them because he kept trying to pick up the little balls with his fingers and is confused when they melt instantly. After the zoo we met John in the park on his lunch break and had a quick lunch before it got too unbearably hot.

Yesterday was spent getting stuff done around the house. It was too hot to go anywhere so I was looking for a movie to watch when I came across this one. Jorge had bought it for the girls before we had a DVD player so I forgot we even had it. Anthony and I watched it together and couldn't stop laughing, it was so funny! He liked it so much he had to watch it again later in the evening. The girls got this boxed set for Christmas so I think I know what Anthony and I will be doing this evening. John has been working in the limo shop late every night. This weather is so hard on the cars and of course people expect a car crammed full of people to cool to 70 degrees. Like that's ever gonna happen! I have been trying to be very patient about it....okay, I've been rather bitchy about it, but damn it, we haven't spent any time together and I am starting to feel extremely neglected! This weekend I am driving limo's, I have an all day wedding on Saturday, which I am dreading. Hopefully Sunday we will get some time together.

Poor Anthony keeps asking for the girls. For the first two days he kept thinking they were in their room and wanted to go upstairs to wake them up. I keep telling him they are with Jorge, far away in California where Grandpa Gilbert lives. I think it's harder for him to understand because he didn't see them get on an airplane like with my dad or Gilly. He saw them get in a car and drive away. I think he is finally starting to understand though because he found one of Danielle's little toys in his room and he told me he was going to save it for her. Well, I'm off to scrub my bathroom. Sounds like lot's of fun......wanna help? hehe

I talked to the girls. They had a nice flight and already went to Jack in the Box, their favorite place to eat in California other than In-N-Out, we don't have either of them here in North Dakota. Danielle was so excited when they went to Jack in the Box, she got me not one but two presents! ROFL I can't wait to put it on my car hehe I told her Grandma would have to put one on the limo and she thought it was a good idea. I'm sure my mom will agree....ROFL

Anthony and I spent the morning fingerpainting, playing games and baking cupcakes. I forgot how enjoyable it is for him and I to some time alone. He is getting so big and he has such a funny sense of humor, he is always making me laugh. We baked cupcakes in my new toaster oven (wedding gift from Gilly) and were only able to bake a few. Hopefully John won't notice that we baked anything because we didn't save him one. lol

I ordered candles from Missy, I can't wait to get them! Well, now that my shopping binge is out of the way I'm off to visit my favorite blogs. :-) Happy Monday!

My girls are gone, I will be counting down the days until August 12 when they will finally be back home. I hate when they leave. The house is always so empty and quiet. Their dad picked them up at 1pm and we all went together to eat before they left.
They drove to Minneapolis to catch a 7:15pm flight. At this moment they are on an airplane headed to the Los Angeles International Airport. Anthony went to my mom's house for the afternoon so after they left John and I came home and took a nap. I really didn't want to do much else, although I did already write them a little letter.

I talked to my dad this afternoon. He and Michelle were driving back from Carmel. He said it was completely gorgeous and they had a wonderful weekend there. They are hoping to be able to drive up to Seattle to see Gilly depart. From what we have heard the deployment is set for July 20th. I hope they can make it, I would hate for him to go and not have someone there waving goodbye to him.

What the heck....although I am probably going to be the only person in North Dakota! ROFL Here is my blogchalk:
