It was another busy weekend away with friends. I've posted some photos of the jail we took a tour of:


(Main area)



(Escape attempt)

(Where the hangings would take place. The open brick area is where the trap door used to lay and the people would fall down below)



(Cells)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We went out for dinner and drinks afterwards and stayed at the Duke for a good 8 hours enjoying the sun and each others company. I also really enjoyed this deep fried mars bar (I took the photo a few bites in I just couldn't help myself) so delightfully yummy!! Apparently so was the beer as I managed to drink my fair share over those 8 hours and have a few apologies to make.....oops!!

The next day I got a little tour of the area where PP has her apartment as we had to grab a few items before heading out. It's super cute and full of life, little boutiques, my fav quick yummy Asian restaurant, the kind of place you could spend a leisurely afternoon window shopping and eating ice cream. We then went to a BBQ at a friends house who I haven't seen in quite some time. There was some karaoke, poker and catching up with one another. Another friend also showed up whom I haven't seen in a good year so it was great to be able to hang out with him as well. We dropped him off downtown and then headed home in the wee hours of the morning arriving close to 2am. I actually thought the drive would be much longer due to construction and well my luck but surprisingly traffic was flowing in our favour.

On Sunday I went swimming at a friends place and sure enough another friend that I haven't seen in a very long time came by for a visit with her new baby girl. We made plans for a girls night this weekend as we have much more catching up to do. Apparently I'm terrible with keeping in touch and seeing some of my friends but I sure as hell made up for it this weekend!

I freaking loved being able to lounge by the pool enjoying the sun and just being able to relax in the city. I've been sort of here there and everywhere lately either on mini road trips or visiting friends out of town that it's rare to find me actually situated near home hanging out, it felt great!

Of course the next few weekends are full as well ( I anticipate being away for the next four as there birthdays galore out of town and a long weekend) but I really can't complain, once mid September hits I'll surely be craving the sun and some fun as things tend slow down around that time. I've been SLACKING on my goal list like you wouldn't believe and hope to get back to working on my list once the summer has ended granted I have a lot of items that need to be completed in the summer. Bah!! Hope you all had a great weekend as well!!!

Wiwille mentioned Bel Biv Devoe in his latest post and it reminded me of a time many moons ago. I was on vacation with my family in Myrtle Beach, probably around age 12 or so. I never had cable growing up and spent a good part of my vacation in the evening watching MTV so I could see all of the latest videos. It was heaven for me!! I was also a HUGE New Kids on the Block fan (shut it!) and saw a commercial where they were performing live on the tube and I desperately wanted to tape it, only hotels didn't really have VCR's or anything for guests to use. (Please note I taped fucking everything back then....seriously I had over 100 VHS tapes full of crap).

My mother and I went on a mad search for a recording device when this lovely hotel employee offered to tape the show for me at his house if I brought him a tape. So off we went to the local drugstore and purchased a tape. The employee kept to his word and brought me the recording the very next morning. There were a lot of other videos as well as the guy seemed to let the tape run and run. I remember Bel Biv Devoes "Poison" being on the tape:


Hearts "All I want to do (is make love to you)" as well:



I was also a huge fan of Roxettes Joyride CD, Paula Abduls Cold Hearted video and Poison cira the Unskinny Bop days! Don't completely judge me.....I had good taste back then as well, I did go to a Cure concert when I was 13 after all!!!

Anyway I can't believe that I was so addicted to taping everything that I had an employee tape my bloody show and for NKOTB to boot!!! Such a nerd...... I probably still have that tape somewhere.........and really what the hell am I talking about (WAS so addicted??) I bought a Tivo last year so that I could tape two shows at once! At least I don't save all that shit anymore I just watch and delete!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The weekend once again is booked up as there's never a dull moment in the summer. On the agenda: a tour of a jail, dinner and drinks with my gals (hopefully at this bar where we always seem to meet/sit with ridiculously entertaining people lest we forget Leslie the homophobic conservative who liked to invade personal space....he was a treat) and then off to a BBQ the next day where I plan to work on my wrinkles errr tan! Have a great weekend everyone!

Oh Jennifer you would have been so proud of me today, I saw the hottest man ever standing on the street while I was waiting to turn from a parking lot. He was nice and tall, dark hair, muscles and a great tan. He had on a tank top but was putting on a t-shirt over it. I literally sat and stared at him while he did this and felt like it was happening in slow motion. I wouldn't have moved however some biatch was trying to get into the parking place and I was in her way so I had to go. Anyway I continued to stare as I drove by and then I smiled at him (people I'm the worst flirt EVER and not that smiling is flirting but you know what I mean, normally I would have gawked from a far and drove off, which I kinda did but at least I smiled). Of course he gave me a nice big grin back *sigh* so yummy!!! (Please note: Jennifer will not be impressed at all by this story as I didn't wind my window down and whistle or throw my business card at him)

(pic by C. Dennis of Sunday evenings storm.....look at that menacing cloud)

Severe thunder storms imminent, wind gusts up to 110 Km/h, large hail and torrential downpours. Remember some severe thunderstorms produce tornadoes.

That is what I saw staring back at me last night on the weather network website, oh fuck!

I'm sure some of you remember that I am horribly afraid of thunderstorms, I'll take the wind and hail........even the tornado.......but please please please leave out the thunder and lightning. To make matters worse I was watching a friends dog and went over to her place just before the storm hit. She has two large glass doors with no curtains in her kitchen and sheer curtains in her living room. I lasted all of 5 minutes upstairs before the booming/light show became too much for me to handle. Seriously it sounded like it was right above her house taunting me, rattling the windows and some glasses on the table, it was so strong the house shook. It was unbelievable from what I'm told, flashes every few seconds for over an hour. I wouldn't have a clue, I perched myself on her basement steps with a flashlight in one hand and cellphone in the other. I eventually grabbed a magazine to help pass the time but it was hard to concentrate as my heart was pounding and my hands shaking. It lasted a good hour or more but felt like 10. Apparently the storm did a little damage as trees were knocked down, rooftops were ripped off and many people were still left without power on Monday morning.

I got very little sleep that night as the storm ended close to 1am. I checked the local newspaper on the web this afternoon and what do I see but a "severe thunderstorm" warning AGAIN. UGH!!! I left work an hour early as the sky was getting black and I was lucky enough to only hit the tale end of the storm.

(Pic of the nasty sky from my cell on the way home, it's like sunny to the right and gloomy in front)


I'm happy to report it was less lightning and more rain though the highway was completely flooded, people were driving like 2 km/h and a transport truck totally cut me off on a bridge. I had to slam on my brakes (we were actually moving at a good pace at that point) and try to swerve out of his way while laying on my horn and cursing the son of a bitch.

I've never been embarrassed per se about my fear as I don't think it's completely out of the norm. It's other peoples reaction to my phobia that makes me feel embarrassed......like they think it's completely irrational. Either way I really don't care what they think though I have toyed with the idea of getting some type of help for this issue of mine. I don't think I'd consider CBT as they would most likely make me stand out in a storm to face my fear....maybe some type of hypnotherapy. Suggestions anyone, anyone??

So as most of you know I am a very drama free gal! I don't go there nor do I care to. Things have been happening lately that make me wonder WTF is going on??? Mostly man issues of course but I wouldn't even call them issues, just the regular goings on of life I suppose. I'm getting bizzaro texts from a friend "What are you doing right now" hmmm well it's 3am I'm sleeping!! Another one is being inappropriate/initiating things that he shouldn't be and then lecturing me about "just being friends" and of course I have a suitor that I met after the Mode concert and I'm not sure what to do with him. He's short and bald I like tall and well......dark hair though I do dig a bald head.....he's suggested meeting for a drink and I just may or may not do it....he seems cool enough so I might.

I am rather sick of trying and to be honest would much rather be alone than deal with any of it. I'm 31.....I should have some type of stability by now....only I do not....and it's killing me. I have friends who have been in relationships and they haven't worked out, others are married and loving it, some are married and/or common law and are having issues. We all have our own "things" to deal with but I'm sick of it already. I clearly need to grow up and make better decisions because the ones I am making are getting me nowhere. I'm a bit tired and bitchy and have had few cocktails (can you tell) and I really don't know what else to say other than I'm tired of this up and down, back and forth, crapola that keeps coming my way. Sorry for the rant, but it was much needed and rather cathartic!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh jeez, that's what you get after a few cocktails at 3am. Clearly someone should take away my computer when I've been drinking, much like LD threatened to take away my cell phone last night lol!!!

I was having dinner recently with PP when I kept noticing this awful BO smell waft by every so often. It finally dawned on me that it was one of the waiters in our area. I wanted to vomit every time he walked by (which he did like every 5 seconds) and tried to hold my breath whenever I saw him heading our way. He kept coming over to clear plates, asking if we wanted more drinks and we were like "NO" hoping he would stay away. Next thing we know he's at our table with a drink....WTF?? It's like he secretly wanted to torture us!

Come to think of it I had a waitress at the same restaurant years and years ago totally let out a fart while standing next to our table. It HAD to have been her as she was the only one around and her ass was relatively level with our heads. Gross!!

It's not like I'm a bad patron, if I was then I would deserve such things but I'm not. I smile, I'm polite, I say yes please and no thank you.

Perhaps the waiter hates his job or has had shitty customers in the past and this is his only way to seek revenge. So he decides to go to work sans shower, rolls around in horseshit, rubs fish guts all over his body and then hits the tanning salon to bake it all in. Mmmm delish!!

As for the waitress.....perhaps she just ate a little broccoli before starting her shift, fair enough but seriously get the fuck out of the way if you're going to shit your pants while taking someones order.

Clearly I need to find a classier place to eat!

Finally we had a lovely weekend weather wise, it was bloody gorgeous out! I took advantage of this and went boating for the 1st time in years and years. Unfortunately my two hour drive took four hours (I'm beginning to see a pattern here) through no fault of my own, long weekend traffic is a bitch and I was quite late and had everyone waiting for me.....oops! This meant that the prime sun time was spent in the car cursing everyone around me for going up north as well. Not only did I spend 4 long hours in the car but once I arrived at my friends house it was another hour long ride to his friends place who had the boat. I should really look into buying an RV or getting a personal driver, anything to make these long hauls more enjoyable. I did love the drive up to the 2nd destination as we took my friends jeep, top down, sun shining, it was fabulous.


We did eventually get out onto the water and spent most of our time at the marina with a bunch of other boaters sitting around a fire, drinking and having a few laughs. We went back to his friends place around midnight and spent the rest of the evening hanging out in the hot tub. I could get used to this sort of thing!



I was hoping to spend my extra day off relaxing as it's been go go go lately and I'd love to just veg in front of the TV in my jammies. Apparently that is not going to happen, it's supposed to be 27 degrees tomorrow ( nice and hot people) and I've been invited to a small get together with friends......swimming and a BBQ, how could I turn that down when the weather is going to be so beautiful??? Hope you all had a great weekend as well!

Another busy weekend has come to an end. I must say the weather left something to be desired as it rained like a son of a bitch almost every day. LD and I got stuck in a downpour while shopping at some cute boutiques, spent $30 each on umbrellas only to find the rain had stopped once we went back outside. Oh well the umbrellas we bought were super cute! One was black with white skulls and the other was black with cherries. We met up with J to do some more shopping at the mall and then started to walk back to my friends condo. Stupid idea....we had walked a lot that day already and had a concert to go to that evening. We got quite far and finally decided to cab it the rest of the way as our feet were burning.

We went to see Depeche Mode who were absolutely amazing!! I heard a woman in line mention that she's been going to their concerts for 20 years and I thought wow!! Then I thought, wait a minute I'm not too far behind that number, it's been 16 years for me! Crazy!!

They put on an excellent show, the girls behind us were screaming "Dave you sexy bastard", Martin had an outlandish silver get up on with painted nails and of course his star shaped guitar, they sang a lot of their old tunes and the encore made me want to wet my pants. I put the play list below but seriously they played Stripped, Master & Servant AND Personal Jesus!!! Martin sounded like an angel when he sang Home though I was rather disappointed that he didn't sing Somebody.....that should be an unspoken rule or something. Our seats were perfect, dead centre, short people in front of us, the only complaint would be the distance. We weren't super far back but closer is always better in my book. This person took some amazing shots that they've posted on a flickr page. Check them out!! (Sly that link is really for you!!)

We went out dancing afterwards and had a great time. Fantastic music, good drinks, cute guys. My favorite part of the evening was when I was chatting with a guy who had also been to the concert and oddly enough reminded me of Martin Gore *swoon*. A while into the conversation LD grabs his left hand, thrusts it in front of my face and yells "He's married!" It was hilarious!



I woke up with a bunch of bizarre bruises again, 3 in the same spot on my arm, another one on my elbow, a huge one on my leg......all on my right side. I do bruise like a peach (and I'm clumsy as hell) however this is getting to be a bit ridiculous.


We sat in traffic......AGAIN.....forever. It took double the amount of time it should have to get home and with no good reason. There was no construction, no accidents, nothing! Just a shitload of rain and two very unhappy girls. No funny people watching stories as we could barely see the car infront of us due to the weather though we did notice a ridiculous amound of vanity plates. I loathe vanity plates!

I may or may not be headed up north again this weekend, but I promise if I do that I will not bitch about the traffic for a 3rd time......you get it I know, I know.....traffic sucks!

Waiting For The Night

Picture Blog from last week:

What does the picture on the truck look like to you?? I was convinced that it was a turkey.....it was not! Oh and this is where we were doing all of our people watching.....bumper to bumper traffic!

Classy truck stop that we decided to check out. Really it was a super quick bathroom break.....SUPER quick!!

Beautiful rainbow!! If you look to the right of the super bright one there is another very faint rainbow...crazy!! God I love that hoodie shout out to Paul Frank......the rum and coke lovah kept calling him "George" and talking about sock monkeys....huh???

The lip.....doesn't look so bad on camera but in person EGAD!!!

Crazy fire, clearly I did not make this one!! Mine would have been much larger!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I went to the clinic today as I've had this ridiculous chest pain and assumed it was some type of infection. While I'm waiting ever so patiently I get to listen to the Dr. and the man in the next room discussing his "sores." EWE!!! They were in there forever......seriously like 30 mins and the Dr. kept coming out to grab swabs and such. They need to make those rooms soundproof as the last thing I wanted was the Dr. touching me after seeing that guy.

I have had a ridiculously busy weekend and unfortunately it's not looking any more clear this week as I'll be out of town.....again.....for a few days.

The drive up north left something to be desired as we got stuck in traffic for hours. A 2.5 hour drive took us over 4 hours, it was a nightmare. We did however enjoy people watching while parked on the highway:

*There was this super old truck driver that enjoyed leering in the car any chance that he got. Another one with a big beaver on the side of his door which made us laugh like crazy.

*A couple in the back of a car full on making out. She was so close to him they looked like conjoined twins. I have no problem with people showing affection but they might has well have been having sex and there were two people in the front seat. Gross!!

*There were two men (who also looked strangely similar) kinda chubby with super long pointy beards. The passenger was passed out cold and it took all of my strength not to scream BOO or WAKE UP into the man's car for fun. I thought it would be hilarious however the driver looked as though he had no sense of humour whatsoever and might go ape shit if I woke his friend.

*A man in the car beside us was getting a nice back rub from his female passenger.......only he was wearing a tank top and had the hairiest back I have ever seen. It looked like she was petting him.

We FINALLY made it up there and spent most of our time drinking and playing horseballs with the crazy neighbours. My friend warned me that they were a bit much and liked to drink a lot I mean can't walk falling down drunk at 11am a lot. They didn't disappoint!! The one had an equally drunk friend up for a visit as well, both in their late 50's drinking rum and coke all day/night long. We went over later to play these silly games I've never heard of and it took all of my might not to spit my drink out all over them I was laughing so hard. Tears were streaming down my face as I got into a fit of giggles and couldn't stop myself. The friend kept repeating herself and slurring "it doesn't matter if you got a dime or two nickles, it doesn't matter." The whole table lost control over the course of the evening. I've never laughed so hard in my life!!

The most beautiful rainbow I have ever seen came out after it rained for a short period of time. It was a half circle and bright as can be. I'll post the photos when I get them from my friend, absolutely stunning, we just stared and stared until it disappeared. I was also impressed with the stars......that's the one thing I love about being away from the city, being able to see the millions of stars up in the sky.

I ended up with some very large bizzare bruises and a lip that looked as though I'd been sucking on a broken pen.....no idea what happened there as I've never bruised my lips before but I suppose there's a first for everything. Oh well, it was good times and I look forward to my next visit up there.

Have a great weekend everyone, I doubt I'll get to blogging again this week as I won't be around much but will make time to read your posts!

I have been desperately trying to find a clip of Larry David on Conan O'Brien from a few weeks ago. I laughed so bloody hard at quite a few parts of the interview. First Larry comes out and Conan comments about how Larry dislikes interviews to which he agrees. Says something along the lines of who the hell wants to have a social interaction in front of millions of people. Good point!

He then talks about how he's never had an orgasm that he didn't regret. He goes on to call them silly, pointless and crazy and how there's a witness to the orgasm which is the worst part about it all. Having someone see you behaving like that, flailing around is why relationships don't work because the person has seen you acting this way. I wanted to die when I watched this....the way he talks is priceless and the content even more so. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard while watching an interview.

I thought it would be an excellent video to view before the weekend however it is nowhere to be found. There were a few sites that teased me with a clip only they had been removed by the author or refused to load. Oh well, you'll have to take my word for it, Larry is bloody hilarious!!

Have a great weekend, I'm heading up north to relax, sit around a fire, roast coconut marshmallows and drink copious amounts of beer! Not such a shabby life. Cheers!

Pet Peeves

(My poor attempt at explaining the below treadmill pet peeve via picture...that's me saying WTF...clearly I am an artist extrodinaire ha!!)

I don't understand why people feel the need to workout on the treadmill directly beside me when there are rows and rows of empty ones. Twice today this happened to me and I just don't get it. There I am all alone with an entire row of vacant treadmills in front of me and a woman jumps on the one right beside me....she eventually leaves and another woman jumps on the same one. I'd rather not work beside another sweaty stinky person if I can help it so why do these mofos choose to do so??? Shouldn't there be a rule like men have with urinals....leave one in between!

I loathe shoppers that walk out in front of my car with their groceries, carts and bags expecting me to just stop for them. Ummm last time I checked there wasn't a "stop for pedestrians" sign (I've seen them in the States at Tops and other such places....great I'll stop cause there's a sign) so why the hell are you walking out in front of my car while I'm driving?? I always wait for cars when I leave the grocery store/mall I don't just saunter out in front and then give dirty looks when they almost run me over. Don't get me wrong I'm not a complete asshole and will let people go ahead.....when I wave them to.....I just don't like when people expect it and walk out right in front of me.

I get really out of sorts when I have set a TV show to tape on my Tivo and it does as I've directed only the previous show has gone overtime (usually due to some live TV, sports etc) and my planned show is therefore cut short. It happened the other night and I was super pissed. I mean what happens if I tape the finale of the Bachelorette only to have the last 10 minutes cut short because the previous show ended 10 mins late. The world would crumble people....the world would crumble! I'm kidding of course, peanuts in the grand scheme of the goings on in the world but it still irks me nonetheless.

What's on your list??

I've been on vacation for 2 weeks and sadly it will be coming to an end very shortly *sniff*

The weather was extremely cooperative for a handful of days, okay for a few and rainy as hell and/or cloudy for the rest. I apparently forgot about my goal to lose weight and ate out almost every day. Seriously the 1st chance I got I was at the Pizza Hut buffet (along with a churchy choir group from the States.....like 70 of them no joke all wearing the same khaki shorts and green golf shirts) gorging myself on cheesy yumminess and bread sticks when I could find a spot in line. That group was like a never ending train, it was nearly impossible to jump in but I did oh yes I did!

I ate my beloved poutine on more than one occasion, all you can eat Japanese, all you can eat Chinese (twice), veggie burgers, fries galore....I'm getting sick just thinking about all the shit I've ingested. Oh and ice cream, don't forget about the ice cream.....Cold Stone, Marble Slab, Dairy Queen ... I'm drooling just thinking about it!

I didn't just eat I also socialized a lot, pool parties, BBQ's, fires all of which were accompanied by booze booze and more booze. Apparently I didn't get enough of this and will be heading up north this weekend for some sun and relaxation....and of course a fire, BBQ and some beer. No pool however there is a lake across the street if I feel so inclined.

Random question because I'm not sure what I should do. I was leaving a pool party and was introduced to the hosts friend on my way out. I said a quick hello, chatted for all of 5 minutes with the two of them and then left. I didn't think anything of it and then got phone call from the host (who is a great friend of mine). Apparently his friend was smitten and would like to take me for a ride on his motorcycle. I barely remember what this guy looked like but don't recall being attracted to him, he was a bit older and like I said we spoke very briefly. Should I go out with him anyway? I won't go for a ride but I would consider a drink ( I do have 4 more dates to go on for my goal list) I just don't know if I should. I'll see my friend this week and will get the scoop on his friend and of course will be honest about my 1st impression and see what he thinks. I mean he might be a great guy or he might not be. I suppose I won't know unless I actually hang out with the guy though I'm kinda meh about the whole thing.

Goal List Update


Working On:

5. Achieve a BMI of 24.9 or less

I don't think the number has actually changed since the last update Doh!!! I am however slowly working on this one. I ended up with a nasty sinus/chest infection 2 or 3 weeks ago and have not been back to the gym since. Tomorrow a spin class I swear!!



14. Take Vitamins every day for 90 days 38/90

I think this is attempt #3 however I have faith that this goal will be completed as I have a system set up so that I can't possibly forget to take these bloody things. If I do I think I'll throw in the towel and pay the $10......90 consecutive days is clearly too long for me to remember to take anything.


35. Read all of the unread books on my shelf 10/35

I recently read the Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and have nothing but good things to say about this book. It was such an emotional journey and at times I sympathized with the main character and then an instant later felt such hatred for him. There were twists and turns throughout the novel that had me laughing one moment and crying the next. The Kite Runner was a painful yet beautiful story that runs the emotional gamut. It’s not often that a book touches me as this one did but I do recommend it to everyone.



After reading that wonderful book I decided to give I Feel Bad About My Neck by Nora Ephron a try. I loathed the first 150 pages and tolerated the last 60 something. Clearly a horrendous idea on my part as this book pales in comparison and left me dreading each and every page. If it wasn't for this goal I would have put the book down after the first few chapters. I thought it might be a cute fluffy read after The Kite Runner but instead I found it just dreadful.


41. Visit 15 of my placements at work 14/15

Yay only one left to go!!!


Completed:

47. Try wearing contacts

Lucky for me I had an appointment with the optometrist recently and I was able to snag a pair of contacts. I felt terrible for the poor woman who had to teach me the proper way to insert the buggers. I felt like it took me days however she she was rather impressed as she usually books hour long appointments and I took less than 15 mins to master the technique. Regardless I still felt super awkward about the whole thing.



I should have many more goals in the completed area next time around. I have a big list to complete just in July alone so we'll see how it goes. Have any of you tried anything new lately??

(Pic from adventurelearningcotours.com)

So there are a lot of goals that I must complete this summer as they are activities that would best be completed in a warm climate. One of them is to go "real camping" and what I mean by that is to camp at a National Park or somewhere off the beaten path. I don't consider driving 20 minutes to the local campsite and paying $20 a night to tent out in the city "real camping".

I have a friend who I thought was an avid outdoors man (which apparently he is) though he does not have the equipment to pull off my goal. He does however have a cabin out in the middle of nowhere that you need a compass and an ATV to find. I wanted to make that count but I know it really doesn't....so the next best thing....I had him email me websites with guided camping tours.

Apparently these places provide everything you need for your experience, educated leaders and equipment. I must say though that I'm a little wary over the whole thing I mean I hate bugs and mosquitoes and really despise canoeing (though I enjoy kayaking) and doubt I will get a good nights sleep as every noise I hear will be a gigantic bear drooling over my tent.... in my head anyway. Regardless I think it will be a good experience for me to try being one with the wilderness and nature.

Any tips??? Other than to hide my food in a tree a la Yogi Bear...please who am I kidding...even the bears won't want my tofu dogs!!

>

I was watching a reality show the other day (too embarrassed to announce which one) however the people were on a road trip and went to a place that I had no idea even existed: Bedrock City in Valle AZ!!! Seriously people it's a theme park/campground based on the freaking Flintstones, my favourite cartoon of all time!!!

Apparently it's nearish or on the way to the Grand Canyon.....how many times have I been to Vegas and have never even heard of this place. I'm a little disappointed as I totally would have rented a car and drove out to this park in a heartbeat had I known it was there.

I've been searching the net trying to find a website however all I seem to come across are blank pages or reviews from others the most recent being 2008. I wonder if it's still standing????

I would love love love to go to this place and wander around bedrock, slide down the dinosaur and watch old show clips. Have any of you ever been??

I will of course be whooping it up 2009 style at a pool party this weekend finished off by an out of town BBQ the following day. I would however really love to party Bedrock style with the Wayouts one of these days!

Have a great weekend!!
