Emma’s Fantabulous Blog

1. Give me a good recipe for a mixed drink of your choice.
2. What’s your favorite carnival food?
3. What’s your favorite carnival ride?
4. Paris Hilton’s new CD. Decent, or utter crap? (You can check out a free sample at the iTunes music store.)
5. Which is more lame?: Paris’s new CD or Kevin Federline’s performance at the Kid’s Choice Awards.
6. What is a deal breaker for you?
7. What is your favorite pair of shoes?
8. If an important professional contact unjustly criticized a friend of yours, would you stand up for your friend?
9. First word that pops into your mind:

And a guest question from Devon:

10. Would you ever quit your job to do your own thing, and if so, what would you want to be in place before you could make the leap?

Am I officially a geek because I find this amusing?

See why and how here. 

We went to the Evergreen State Fair today. It was lots and lots of fun. I pet a goat, we saw lumber jacks scaling poles, Devon got totally freaked out on the ferris wheel and there was lots of yummy food that ended up getting eaten by us.

Short video of baby pigs racing: HERE.

I got new hair. I didn’t end up crying and needing to have the mirrors covered. It’s awesome, even though its way shorter. Bright red with dark brown.. just like I asked.

And a crazy coincidence: my new colorist’s name is also Emma.

So my wrists have felt busted for the past week or 2 and I’m pretty sure that its some combination of sleeping on them and having carpal tunnel. So i’ve been trying to avoid my computer and surfing the web and making blog posts. However, Devon hasn’t been interested in being my blog stenographer, so I’m here now. Hopefully my wrists and hands stop sucking and I can go back to surfing the interweb all day. But yeah. Blog posts may not be super regular for alittle while longer.

In a nutshell: The wedding was fun. I got sunburned through sunscreen and a hat. Devon and I won’t be having any kids in the near future.

View all the pictures with stories here. 

So tomorrow, Devon and I are off to Colorado to go to Brett (Devon’s cousin) and Fang’s wedding. It should be fun. I’m looking forward to experiencing my first ever bout of altitude sickness and being woken up at 5am each morning by our little nephew and niece jumping on our beds.

Good times, good times.

Have a great weekend everyone!!

I just finished this book by Peter Mayle.

Amazing, completely amazing. It left me seriously considering trying to talk my darling husband into dropping everything and moving to the South of France. Buy a farm house, and spend the days drinking fine french wine.

When I can’t be on a vacation in Provence, this book is honestly the next best thing.

1. Are you going to the midnight opening showing of Snakes on a Plane this week?
2. What 3 items would you want if you were trapped on a plane with deadly terrorist snakes?
3. Oliver Stone’s “World Trade Center” movie, starring Nicolas Cage. Is it too soon?
4. Will you see it?
5. You get an invitation to an event that specifies no gifts. Would you bring a gift anyways, or not?
6. Have you ever put a message in bottle?
7. If you decided to write one today, what would it say?
8. Rufus appears out of nowhere with a time-traveling phone booth. You can go anytime in the PAST. When do you go?
9. What do you order at Starbucks? (or you local coffee shop)
10. What shouldn’t people call your home state or town?

Video of Fifi, my big lucious lizard.

*Warning, the video may take a while to load.*

We had a beautiful warm sunny day, and dragged out Fifi’s christmas tree into our yard. Please excuse my silly girl giggles. This was the first time I’ve played with my camera’s video feature and watched Fifi on film.
