Busy weekend this weekend. I was out of town for the conference Thursday and Friday, so I got back around 7:00 Friday evening, and just slept! I was tired. Too much thinking I guess. I worked Saturday morning with the city. It was our last baseball games for the season so at the end of each game we were handing out medals. Now we're onto soccer. And the occasional special activity--like next weekend is a fishing derby. Should be good times.

After work we went to a cookout with some of Ivan's co-workers. It was fine, but also kind of the strangest cookout I've ever been to. It was supposed to start at 2, we didn't get there until 3:30...and we needed to leave by 6:30.... they were grilling (without anyone eating anything) from before we got there until we left. It was so odd. I was like...if you're having a cookout, that started at 2:00...wouldn't you have eaten probably before we even got there? And if you didn't, wouldn't you be eating soon? Very strange. So at like 6:00 Ivan and I fixed our plates since we needed to leave. Anyway so that was that.

Then we went to the Improv because we had tickets to see Kevin Nealon do stand-up. I'm putting his picture on here because nobody ever knows him by name, but if you see his picture you'll know. He used to be on Saturday Night Live (from 86-95), is now on WEEDS (my favorite show) and has been in a ton of movies, such as Happy Gilmore, Anger Management, Grandma's Boy, and many more. Anyway, he was funny. (duh right?)

So every comic I've ever wanted to see happens to be coming to Phoenix in November or December! Which is awesome! So on November 6th we're going to see Kathy Griffen, who has that show "My Life on the D-List" and before watching that show I didn't think she was very funny but now I do. I think you either love her or hate her, and I've grown to love her. Celeeste says she's an acquired taste. So I'm pretty pumped about that. And then the weekend after Joel McHale is coming!! He is the host of "The Soup" which is another favorite show of mine, and I have a huge crush on him. He was in California last year and I was going to fly out to see him...that's how much I love him! haha And then, in December we have tickets to Chelsea Handler...who has a show on E! called "Chelsea Lately" and I think is really funny. She also has a couple books out, I read one and am waiting on the other to come in the mail, which are good. So I am just all kinds of excited that they are all coming!!! (I'm gonna put up pics of all of them cuz you'll know who I'm talking about-- Kevin Nealon has the feathered hair, Joel McHale is the other guy, Kathy Griffen is the redhead, and the blond is Chelsea Handler).

Next weekend we have tickets to a hockey game too, and like 8 of our friends are going so I think it'll be a really good time. A couple times a year the school district sells tickets for cheap so I jumped on it.

And we're thinking about going to Vegas. Ivan is a member of this thing where you can get cheap vacations. We don't want to spend money a flight so Vegas is the best option. They have set weekends for each location. So it would be 4 nights in Decemeber (the weekend before our 7th anniversary) staying at the MGM Grand, and tickets to see the Blue Man Group too. Which is exciting. I've already seen them but would love to see them again. And when I was talking to Megan about it she reminded me that I saw them a very long time ago! I totally didn't realize how long it's been...it was in 99 when I saw them! And they weren't really famous yet. So I bet the show has changed a lot, and even if it hasn't it will be awesome. So we'll see... for the past 4 years we've said we're going to Vegas a million different times and never gone (I've still never been to Vegas even though it's been in driving distance for 4 years now!) but I hope we follow through this time.

I guess I'll be going. Ivan's making a big breakfast (yum) and I might be meeting up with Kametia later so I should get moving.
