Going Through the Motions

I cannot BELIEVE it’s already March. Our 1-year anniversary is a little over a week away! 2009 has been pretty good so far. Busy, but good.

What have we been up to, you ask? LOTS.

You'll find me

- At work…

- Reading Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum novels LIKE CRAZY. They are the most hilarious, sexy and suspenseful books I’ve ever read. And I’m talking laugh out loud funny! I highly recommend you pick them up. Joe Morelli is worth it, and Ranger, too.



- Watching HEROES. I’m hooked, as of right now. I heard it gets pretty complicated so we’ll see. Peter is the coolest. LOST is next on my DVD marathon list.



- Listening to the Confessions of a Shopaholic soundtrack. Makes you wanna dance your little tush off… and shop.



- Doing PR stuff for Gilbert Toastmasters. By the way, our blog is pretty awesome. Check it out here. Oh, and if you’re interested in Improv and improving your communication skills, come to our April 2nd meeting for a special workshop with the Light Rail Pirates.

- Not pet-sitting. No one is going on vacation, so no weekend work for CHERYL

- At Body Pump with my sister or running w/Dani

- Wishing I was at John Henry’s with Heather again drinking an Inhibition martini

- Snuggling w/Robby

- Cleaning

- Thinking about going back to school for English & Creative Writing


You’ll find Rob:

- At Banner… bright and early! He’ll soon be working 12s on the weekends

- At school or studying for school at home. So proud!

- Playing basketball

- Eating cereal

- Washing his scrubs

- Snuggling with Cheryl

- Sleeping

- Saying "Hiro!"


- Eating again...an’t he simple?

My Uncle Mike (my dad’s twin) surprised us with a visit! Was wonderful seeing him and catching some rays with him. Love you, Uncle Mike! Hard to believe what a health nut you are now. Good for you!



What have you all been up to?

Hyundai, Finally a Competitor

Saw some innovative offers lately from Hyundai and was very impressed.

Have any of you seen their ‘Assurance’ campaign? If not, here is their offer:

For a limited time, if you lose your income, we’ll pay your payments for 3 months. If that’s not enough time to work things out, you can still bring it back. Between 2/23 and 3/2 get great deals on any car in our full line of Hyundais. 10 year/100,000 mile power train warranty.




WOW! Now THERE'S an offer I've never heard before. And we’re talking a CAR here. Not just some pair of shoes that ended up not fitting you right. You can return your vehicle if you lose your job, or they’ll help you along until you get back on your feet by paying your car payments for 3 months. Sure, that interest will be a pain to look at later, but with this economy, this is JUST the kind of message consumers want to hear. Hyundai definitely stands ahead of any other major vehicle brand to me right now. AMAZING offer and strategy to build a rapport with consumers.



Check out their latest commercial that ran during Super Bowl. So effective! I have to find out who their ad agency is.



If you’re in the market for a new vehicle, consider Hyundai… they got your back.

Fireproof

Saw the most amazing movie this weekend: Fire Proof. It renewed our hearts... brought tears to my eyes. Rob and I are so blessed...to love each other as the Lord loves us, to be fireproof. At times little tiffs get us down, but through forgiveness and unconditional love, we come together with faith and selfless love.



See the movie site here. There are some great behind-the-scene clips and commentary from the producers/writers.

The soundtrack/playlist is amazing, too. They chose some great artists that I'm adding to my ipod today!

Hope you all had a great Valentine's Day! We pray the Lord speaks to you and changes your life in unexpected ways.

Exciting News!

My cousin, Nichole, just got engaged!!!!! How exciting for her and Larry!!!!

Look at the cute couple:



Congratulations! We love you!!!

Need a Pet-Sitter?

Then call me! I work for Bonnie Best, the BEST pet-sitter in the East Valley (and owner of THE BEST Pet-sitting), and we’d be happy to take care of your little one when you go out of town or for any other odd reason you’d need a sitter for your pet (if they’re sick and you want someone to check on them during the day while you’re at work).



Pet-sitting encompasses house-sitting, too. We visit your home, play with your pet, feed/take him or her out and whatever else you prefer! After we lock up, check on everything and keep lights on and newspapers in, it looks as though someone is home!

Easy, right? Stress less when you go on vacation because we'll take care of your home and your pets. Bonnie was a licensed veterinarian, and me, well… I’m not but I love animals and am anal about keeping your house safe and your pet happy while you’re away!

See Bonnie in the Gilbert Lifestyles Magazine here.

Any Shopaholics Out There?

I haven't read the book, but I LOVE Isla Fisher! Only 3 more weeks... I can't wait!

The official movie website has a GREAT virtual experience for you. Click here to go there now:


I'll be picking up my own copy of Allure this month, too:

2 Speeding Tickets

...in 2 weeks. You'd think my Corolla was Britney Spears with all the cameras flashin'!

Think that says something about me? Well, it does. I drive WAY too fast! Why? Because I'm always in a hurry, and rushing! AGH... I need to slow down.

Please pray for me. I'm going to wait to get served, and maybe ignore the knocking on my front door...

Driving fast is expensive!
