Buh Bye Raja

So what do you do when your 2nd favorite NBA team trades one of your favorite players to another team? I am sure you have all heard by now of the trade between the Phoenix Suns (#2) and the Charlotte Bobcats (?). They traded Diaw, Singletary, and my personal favorite, Raja Bell for Jason Richardson and a 2010 draft pick. Now what??? I was already considering my love for the Suns when they got Shaq but now do I have to become a Bobcats fan for the love of Raja?
Say buh bye to the Suns #19 jersey Raja, you're moving on up... well over and down... East Side!!!

Uhhh, I think I will still be a Bell fan, he's not wearing a Suns jersey here and he still looks DAMN good! Plus you know that he'll still play defense... Hmmm....

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

So this Thursday is Thanksgiving… And at this time I am reminded of all the wonderful things in my life I should be thankful for. There are so many things in my life that I am truly grateful for but that would be a long post. So here are the first 5 that come to mind.
My Health – without it I wouldn’t have been a healthy (and adorable) baby, child, and now adult.

Boozer – He is the light in my life, make me happy when I am sad, makes me mad when I am happy… He is definitely my baby and I wouldn’t trade him for the world.

Friends – Without the great friends I have I would not be who I am. I can’t thank them enough for putting up with me, loving me, and being there for me when I need them.

My Family – All my aunts, uncles, cousins, grandma! But especially to my wonderful siblings (and in-law siblings) who have given me so much love through my life. And 5 BEAUTIFUL nieces!

And finally… My Parents – Without them I would not be who I am (I would not even be here). They are so supportive, loving, understanding… I could go on and on… I can’t even put into words how much I love them! I don’t know what I would do without them. My mom is truly my best friend. I know that she is there for me no matter what, and I can tell her anything. Thank you mom! My dad, is… my dad! I will always be his little girl no matter how old I get. He will always worry about me and take care of me and try to protect me from harm. Thank you dad! I love you both so much and I can’t thank you enough for what you do for me and how you love me. I am so happy that I can discuss anything with you and not be afraid that you will judge me or look down on me.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

No Babies for Us...

So being as bored as I can be at work, I came across this website where you can see what yours and your partners babies would look like. Well since everyone knows how much I love D Will I decided to see what the outcome would be. LOL! So here you go, meet Baby Dee...

Big Game!

So tomorrow is the biggest rivalry game in the state of Utah. BYU vs. Utes... I received this joke and thought it was pretty funny and had to share...

A Utah family of BYU football supporters head out one Saturday to do their Christmas shopping. While in the sports store, the son picks up a Utah Utes jersey and says to his older sister, "I've decided to become a Ute fan and I would like this for Christmas." His big sister is outraged by
this and promptly whacks him on the head and says, "Go talk with Mom."

Off goes the little lad with the Utah Utes jersey in hand and finds his mother. "Mom?"

"Yes, son?"

"I've decided I'm going to be a Ute fan, and I would like this jersey for Christmas."

The mother is outraged, promptly whacks him on the head and says, "Go see your father." Off he goes with the Utah Utes jersey in hand and finds his father. “Dad?"

"Yes, son?"

"I've decided I'm going to be a Ute fan, and I would like this jersey for Christmas".

The father is so outraged he, too, whacks his son on the head and says, "No son of mine is ever going to be seen in THAT!"

About half hour later they're all back in the car heading towards home. The father turns to the son and says, "Son, I hope you've learned something today."

The son says, "Yes, Dad, I have."

"Good, son. What is it?"

The son replies, "I've only been a Ute fan for an hour and I already hate you BYU fans."

Dogs Have Play Dates Too!

So on Friday my friend Cody brought his dog Bruno over for a "play date" with Boozer. Bruno is an American Bulldog (mix) and weighs about 10 or 15 pounds more than Boozer. But Boozer was definitely the dominate one. He would pin Bruno down and tackle him. It was one of the cutest things I have ever seen.

Here is Boozer and Bruno playing tug-o-war with Boozer's basketball. You can also notice the basketball game on the TV in the background. ;-)

Go Jazz!

Last night I was lucky enough to attend a special "meet and greet" signing party with the Utah Jazz. I got a couple pics of different players (DWill, Millsap, Miles, Harpring) but my favorite had to be the one with me in it (of course). Ronnie Price was nice enough to let me get a picture with him.
Go #17!!! We need to see more dunking out of you!

Phone Call of the Year

So I just got off the phone with my ex. Apparently there is someone out there that is using MY name to contact Stefani via her Facebook and her blog. If you are the one leaving her comments as me you need to STOP. If I find out who is doing it there WILL be actions taken. I know that by forwarding the email I received from her was immature but posting comments from ME, is worse. Whoever is doing this is not a friend. If you were a friend you would have the dignity to post a comment under your own name!

I just want to say sorry to Stefani and Joe for all the stress and pain this person or people have caused. I swear on my life and the lives of everyone around me that this was NOT me. I just recently joined Facebook to keep in the loop with a friend here at work (this account is now being deleted). I have never looked at your blog, I didn't even know you had one.

Joe also mentioned that someone created a registry under the brides name with a different guy. This is the most disgusting thing I have ever heard. I cannot believe someone would even do that! Even if I did hate Stefani or Joe and I was obsessed with them this is lower than anything you could do. These two are trying to start off their lives together, they will have enough stress, they don't need anything from other people to fuel the fires.

Again, my apologies to Stefani and Joe. I am sorry about whatever immature ass is doing this. Please know that is it NOT me.

Monday Night Football - Election Outcome?

Here's a bit of fun info. Apparently Football is America's sport. According to a couple websites there is a "Redskin Rule" that says tonights football game will tell you the outcome of tomorrow's election. This is just something fun I received from a co-worker and want to know if it will be true this year...

The Washington Redskins: In 18 out of the last 19 elections, when the Redskins have won their final home game prior to the election, the incumbent has held the White House. The one exception to the Redskins Rule was 2004, when the Green Bay Packers beat the Redskins, but John Kerry still went on to lose President Bush. This year the second-place Redskins face the first-place Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football on Nov 3. (http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/election2008/a/elect-predict.htm)

VS.

So does that mean if you are cheering for the Redskins tonight you are voting for McCain tomorrow?

And if you are on the Steelers side, are you voting for Obama?

I thought the ex-wife was supposed to be the bitter one...

So, to all my friends... I couldn't sleep this morning and decided to check my email. I came across an email showing from my ex husband (Joe Olschewski).

Well, first here's a little story. Joe called me on Wednesday, apparently he was wondering if I had an extra key to the house that we bought in Lehi because he had to show it even though I was under the impression that it was already sold. Well I kindly informed him that I did not have a key, I left all the keys, etc when I moved out. He was very polite and we chatted for a bit. Just the asking of how things were going, I congratulated him on his upcoming wedding that I heard about through a friend of his fiance's sister, and we hung up the phone.

Now, as you all know, Joe and I got married young. We had a lot of problems from the beginning of our relationship forward and probably should have never got married. We weren't happy very often when we were married, and we tried to hide this from our families. The wear and tear got too much, we had a breaking point and we decided to get divorced. Even though I truely believe that the divorce was decided long before the words were spoken. I still love Joe as a person but he is not nor ever will be the right guy for me.

Now attached below is the email that I received that I actually opened this time (I have been contacted SEVERAL times through different email accounts that Stefani has set up and usually I just delete them). I figured that she was over the taunting and over the games and happy. But apparently the ring on her finger still doesn't show her that Joe loves her, not me, I don't love him, we are not meant to be together, I know this... What more do I have to say? I

hope you all enjoy the wonderful piece of comedy below, I think that she should open for Jim Carrey or something because I don't know where she got her facts from. On a side note, I truely was happy for both Stefani and Joe... But how can I be happy for a girl that hates and despises me so much? I am also confused by what actions I have done that show that I hate her???

Please someone, enlighten me.

Oh and about the stealing of the sister... Tara will ALWAYS be Stefani's sister, Tara will ALWAYS be there for her sister, I did not steal her sister from her, I see and talk to Tara maybe once a month (if she shows to Bunco)...

Oh and I added a couple comments of my own to what she wrote, just for shits and giggles...

Happy Halloween everyone!!!

It is pretty obvious that you hate me and I hate you. That has been made very clear by both of our actions.

Here are the facts:

- Joe and I had something before you got divorced. Sorry
I don't care... As stated above Joe and I had separate lives for a while even though we were "together"... It's okay...

- You got dumped!! Now you are a fat and trashy. It is great that you have big b**bs but, that’s about all you have going for you. Hope that those get you far in life…
So many on this one... I didn't get dumped, I got divorced. I am a fat and trashy? What is a fat and trashy? Hmmm, whore? Will that one work for ya? Oh and I am over the age of 18, I think you can type BOOBS, but I do recall that you got them at the beginning of the year also... They are fabulous aren't they? I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine, and yes they will get me far, I appreciate the looking out...

- Next Friday, Joe and I are getting married and living happily ever after. You should probably get over me and him and start living your own disgusting life.
I did hear you were getting married, congrats! Let's see, I never had a crush on you, so I think you'll be easy to get over. I was over Joe a while ago, and I have been living my own life don't you notice that when you check up on my blog???

- Lastly, you may have taken my sister from me but, I took your husband. Do you still think you won?
I haven't taken your sister. I do still have a friend in your sister and she is a mature enough person to be able to still be my friend when she has to deal with so much drama from you. Ask her how many times I ask about you, or bring you up, or ask about Joe when we are together... Do it, ask her!!! And I didn't know this was a competition to be had... Damn, I really enjoy a good one, guess I got to be on the sidelines for that...

Have a great day and please leave me, my fiance, my Facebook and my blog alone.
Well thank you, you have a wonderful day too. But I NEVER recall contacting YOU for anything, I haven't contacted JOE since back when I was receiving letters from the bank which was MONTHS ago... The call that was in his phone recently, if you look hard it will show it as an OUTGOING call, meaning, HE called ME (this was all explained above, I will give you a minute while you scroll up). When it comes to Facebook, I just BARELY joined like 3 days ago and with your blog... I have never seen your blog, I do not care to check your blog.

Sincerely,
The Woman You Wish You Were
I think we should both nix the word "woman"... Kinda "childish" to keep sending me emails... And I am playing right back by doing this, but oh well, sometimes you have to let go of all boundries...

PS – Here is a website you may want to check out. http://www.howtohealyourbrokenheart.com/
Hot damn!!! That is so nice of you to go and research all of this for me, it makes my life so much easier!!! Now I don't have to go and try to find all this help and healing for my... wait, broken HEART? I thought it said something else... Nah, heart is healed... Didn't you hear that duct tape and superglue fixes EVERYTHING...

*muah* kisses to you and your upcoming nuptuals!!! I am guessing I won't be getting an invite though???

Not Much

So I have some sweet friends out there that like to give me a hard time when I don't blog, so since I am sitting here bored at work here it is... Is anyone else relieved that they delayed the Tampa/Philly game last night? I am really not ready for the series to end. C'mon Rays, pull it out and do something!!!

Also, much love goes out to Erik and his beloved Peyton... You just need to come to terms that Eli is better and will always be younger. I do feel bad that the Titans won, just because of the fact that I like Peyton by default, due to the fact that he is baby Manning's brother...

Happier note... NBA SEASON STARTS TONIGHT. Jazz season opener is tomorrow at 7pm, yay!!!

So since I also promised to not blog without pics, I have added a couple laughs below...

My Puppy

Boozer was feeling a little deprived yesterday since as soon as I got home from work I turned around and left. Went to CPK for dinner and drinks then headed over to the Jazz game. So when I got home at about 10 he wouldn't leave me alone. I decided to whip out the camera phone...
He kind of looks giant in this picture. He's officially growing though, my little boy is up to 55 pounds!!!!

This is my baby showing me some love. He is so cute with kisses because he doesn't lick me, he just "lips" me. Haha, but if YOU were to ask for kisses he'd just lick. Damn I love my dog!!!

Body Worlds 3

So on Sunday my friend Erik and I went to the Body Worlds exhibit here in Salt Lake. I have been waiting since the 19th of September to go to this thing, but everyone was too squimish. Well, we went and I was totally expecting something different than what I saw. It was very educational and interesting.

Slacker!

Well a sweet little friend of mine reminded me that I hadn't posted a blog in 2 weeks. I would say that not much has happened but that's been a lie, I have just been a slacker. I will admit it. As most people have realized lately, work is busy, and great and I have been a flake on everything else.

First thing is first. Last Thursday (9th) was the first Jazz home pre-season game. They played the Suns and I was so excited to see Raja Bell. He's amazing. I didn't get to try out my new season seats because my work gave me their seats (I will not pass up row 13 behind Amy Williams and the rest of the wives). It was fun to watch them play even though it was pre-season so all the sucky players got most of the time. We lost...I can't even remember what I have been doing so much of lately, but my camera has not been involved.

Even though I should have taken a picture of Trayce last weekend when we rode the tram at the top of Snowbird. He loved it, he didn't even mind that it was snowing and cold. Then Andy got mad at me because when we got back to my house I was letting Trayce "run wild". Which I wasn't really, I just don't have any kids toys so I had to improvise. He's only 2, so that was the easy part...

Anyways, my goal for today is to take as many pointless pictures as possible and post them to my blog to make up for not blogging. Haha!

Viva Las Vegas!!!

So last weekend I had to go to Vegas for work. There was a huge meeting that I had to make all the arrangements for and be there to make sure the set up went right. The meetings were being held at Mandalay Bay but we stayed at their all suite addition, THEhotel. Nat went with me so I wasn't bored when I wasn't working. I don't think she realized that she would become the official assistant to the assistant. Haha. She got to deal with my stress and put up with me. THEhotel cracked me up, everything with the word "the" was capitalized. They even had little stickers on the toilet paper that said "THEtp"... Haha...

We arrived on Saturday, the limo took us to THEhotel, we checked in, checked out our room (freakin' huge) and of course had to check out the mini bar (below)...
After that we caught a cab to Fashion Show Mall where we spent most of the day... Did some shopping then were starving so we went to RA Sushi. They had THE best calamari I have ever had!!!

Me at RA Sushi...

Nat at RA Sushi...

After the shopping experience we came back to the hotel and we were both exhausted so after napping we decided to get ready and go out to dinner... Of course we had to have a couple drinks before we went out and that means camera time!!!

All dressed up, deciding where to go...

Nat taking advantage of our bar area in our suite...

Me taking advantage of the couch, trying to look seductive...

Nat's camera angle... It's actually good this time...

So Sunday after the Shark Reef and Wax Museum we had my work reception...

Me in my new shirt that I bought on Saturday...

Natty looking fabulous...

Two hot girlies ready to go entertain...

Shark Reef

So Sunday we went to the Shark Reef. Nat had never been and I loved it when I went on my 21st birthday (thanks mom & dad!). I just remember that we spent hours in the underground area watching the sharks. Nat did the same thing, she could have stayed down there all day. I didn't get any pics of the sharks because the flash either reflected or it was too dark, ugh...
This is a golden crocodile that I thought was beautiful...

And then he opened his eyes, and I HAD to get a pic...

This little (haha, yeah right) guy was soooo cute. If it wasn't for the fact that he could easily eat me and my dog, I would have wanted to take him home.

A lion fish. I would love to have a huge aquarium with some of these guys...

Natty doing what she does best... Posing!!! Haha!

Oh for sweet!

And me of course... What a beauty!!!

Wax Museum

So on Sunday after the shark reef Nat and I went to the wax museum at the Venetian. It took some convincing to get Nat to get close to them... She was a little freaked out, but eventually warmed up...

I am guessing she didn't like what George had to say???

Nat's butt is a mini-JLo butt!!!

Just for my dad... I am gonna knock him out!!!

In bed with Hugh... He LOVED it!!!

Man, I am so angry, why do I wanna fight everyone? LOL!

Nat and The Rock...

"Why yes Cameron, I LOVE that idea!!!"

LOL! No comment!!!

I don't know how to play tennis but I think I could beat you... I can see it in your eyes!!!

Pretty woman, walking down the street...

Me and Salma Hayek, there must be something we are pondering!!!

Stealin' a puff off the King's cigar...

Holy crap, I don't think I am gonna make it!!!

Scared for my life, Nat is driving!!!

Future Mrs. Tiger Woods...

Even he couldn't help checking out her JLo booty!!!
