Tubing

My sister invited me up to spend last weekend with her and her family so we could celebrate my birthday a few days late. We made plans to go tubing (down a snow covered hill not behind a boat). I've been tubing before so I was super excited to go. There was just one little snag in our plans, it was RAINING!!! that's right the middle of January in Park City Utah and it doesn't have the decency to snow instead of raining! Well we went anyway, even if the rain turned the snow to slush and made all the tubes go super slow and stop before the end of the hill. Also we were drenched before the two hours we paid for were up. I was wearing waterproof snow clothes but even they weren't enough! OK so I stayed mainly dry except for my coat that decided not to be water proof on one elbow and my boots didn't stay dry as long as the should have so my feet were sopping by the time we left. All and all it was a really fun day. Even if the kids wanted to go inside and get dry after about 45 minutes. When we were all done and went home to get dry we went out to dinner for my birthday. We were going to go to the Texas Roadhouse (which is amazing) but the wait for a table for 9 was more than 2 hours! So we got back in the car, went to Chili's and were done with our meal before we would have been seated at the Roadhouse. when there are 4 little kids to think about you can't wait 2 hours for food! But it was still a really good meal. I love my sister and how she spoils me when I go to visit her!

Obsessed

I'm obsessed. I am in love with a song and I can't stop replaying it. Every other song I listen to I wish it was one song. This song:

"Everything" by Michael Buble

You're a falling star, You're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And you're the perfect thing to say.

And you play it coy, but it's kinda cute.
Ah, When you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true.
Cause you can see it when I look at you.

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.

And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're every song, and I sing along.
'Cause you're my everything.
Yeah, yeah

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

Space Mountain Breakdown

So have you ever wondered what the inside of Space Mountain looks like? I always did. But I don't have to anymore. When I was at Disneyland on Monday we were on Space Mountain when it broke down! We were actually about to head into the last turn with the ride stopped. Apparently they had too many cars at the station so they had to stop the ride to keep from the next car (us) from running into the last one at the station. I think this might have had something to do with our car being the Handicap car that they put onto the tracks without taking any off. Once they got a car out of the station they had to come around and push start all of the cars to get them going again. When we got back to the station they turned the lights back off and sent us around again. It was amazing. I can now tell everyone I have been into Space Mountain with the lights on. I even have pictures!

Twenty-four

So as many of you know, Tuesday was my birthday. I am now as many years old as there are hours in a day. To celebrate such an eventful birthday I flew down to LA to spend it with my family/friends. We went to Disneyland on Monday and then again on Tuesday. Disneyland is doing this thing where you get into one of there parks for free on you birthday but if you have an annual pass (see below) you get a "Fun Card" with the price of a one park one day ticket (also known as $69). The Fun Card has to be spent on Merchandise and not Food but it's really awesome because basically you have an excuse to buy yourself an awesome birthday present. On Monday I went with my Mom, my sister Andrea, Brandee and her boyfriend Anibal. Tuesday I was supposed to go with another friend who has the same birthday but she ended up having to go to work and couldn't make it. I was kind of bummed when I thought I was going to have to go alone but Brandee asked her boss if she could have the day off and he said yes. I was SO happy not to have to spend my birthday alone.

2009: The Year of the Mouse

Christmas Present to myself: Disneyland Resort Annual Passport. What does this mean? That I have admission to Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure everyday I want to go until December 30, 2009. With that present to myself I rang in the New Year at the Happiest place on Earth. I LOVE Disneyland! I could spend everyday there.... My feet would protest and I would get pretty tired but I would not get tired of riding Pirates or knowing every word on the tour of the Haunted Mansion (regular or Holiday). I am so excited to use my pass again, so if you want a Disneyland partner just let me know!!!!
