That's Hot!

Oh my god, it's going to be a long hot summer! I'm exhausted and we haven't even begun.

I tried walking in the morning to beat the heat but it made me really tired all day long and then my legs hurt at night cuz they are used to being worked in the afternoon. I could barely stay up to watch Gossip Girl! Now that's tired!

Work gets really boring in the summer cuz there are less people around. We try to pace ourselves and not have too much fun in the morning so the afternoons aren't so boring but that really never works.

I am looking forward to the long weekend even though it's hard to believe it's already the end of May.

The Arizona Academy of Perfoming Arts is having their annual Memorial Day fund raiser at Tempe Town Lake. It's free to get in. Pretty Girl will be performing with them. That's probably what I'll be doing. Maybe mow the lawn too. The fun never ends!!

Jack in the Box

I cannot tell you how happy this makes me. I want to go out and buy a balloon full of helium and sing along.

Swine Shmine

Oh my god! When will the media stop about this flu? I can't believe they are closing schools AFTER the students have recovered. Maybe it's just me but that makes no sense.

Ok, now that I got that off my chest, here are some photos from Easter and Pretty Teacher's visit...

G-man eating, he does this very well














G-man and his girlfriend Pretty Girl (he LOVES her)














Pretty Girl getting a gift of liquor, cuz she's 21 now














Talking to Pretty Teacher on Skype on Easter














G-man and his bitchin swim shorts (swim longs?)














Pretty Teacher's birthday cake (she won't be here for her real b-day)

Off With His Head!

Ok, the Burger King has always given me the creeps. So has Sponge Bob. I know, I know, Sponge Bob you say? It must be a generational thing cuz the guy is a sponge! That's not right. Anyway, the new Burger King commercial with the King rapping and Sponge Bob there too, I just don't know. It keeps me up at night!

Dayton

Ok, I'm finally ready to post about my trip to beautiful downtown Dayton. It's in Ohio for those of you that don't know. Actually, Pretty Teacher and I drove through it last June on our way to Connecticut. Remember that post?

So the Pretty Guard had their finals (and Pretty Girl's final Winter Guard show, sniff, sniff) at the University of Dayton Arena. Pretty Girl wanted me to go so I did. The Pretty Guard's show was called Shattered. Their floor (if you don't know, a floor is what they perform on, it's about the size of a full basketball court and weighs at least 300 pounds, it's vinyl and measured 60' x 90'!) and was painted like a windshield that was hit with a golf ball with the entire windshield cracking.Their uniforms were black jumpsuits with a blue seat belt used as a belt.

The Pretty Guard did some traveling by air and every time they did they would help the flight attendants out with the demo:















The flight attendants loved it! So did the other passengers.















So, feeding the Pretty Guard was quite a task. We cooked in the hotel room (with the help of Diana, Holly and Lesa), much to the chagrin of the hotel staff. We blew the breakers 3 times during the very first meal. Because of that, we ended up spreading out our cooking duties, including the hall way:















What always amazes me about this group is the staff is constantly changing stuff up. Either what they wear, what they toss (flags, sabres or rifles) or the choreography. Here, they are changing up the flags while the Pretty Guard rehearses:
















Here they are rehearsing:














Pretty Girl celebrated her 21st Birthday while we were in Dayton:














Bianca and Parris also celebrated their birthday:














After the Pretty Guard performed, and finals were over, they participated in a dance class with Mia Michaels. For those of you who don't know who she is, she choreographs for So You Think You Can Dance, Vegas shows like Celine Dion and many other things.















Gabe and Pretty Girl really liked the class:














Then we drove to the airport, Cori ate a scorpion and we flew home. Good times!

Can't Catch Up

I'm still trying to catch up from last weekend with the stars. I'll post about our trip this weekend. In the meantime enjoy a video. Thanks to Michelle for this.
