exercise is a good thing...pft!

as usual i am a behind blogger...ok that doesn't sound quite right...how about a blogger that is behind? there we go. so what have we been up to for the last 29 days? glad you asked my friend...

1. attending a musical experience by Mr. Jon Bon Jovi with our dear friends brittaney and kendell:

nothing like a night of shakin it to jovi

the boys couldn't keep up with us

rockin it at cali pizza before the show

hard-core jovi fans...singing their guts out!

my favorite part of the night was when we were in line to get into the show...this guy in front of us {a lone man in his late 40's, dressed oddly stylish} turns around, looks matt up and down twice...not subtly at all...then pauses while the four of us are thinking "uhhh....what's going on?" and then he proceeds to say to matt "it's nice to be among true fans" . i choke down a giggle and kendell just looks from the lone man then to matt. maybe it was one of those things where you had to be there, but i'm glad i was there because it was extremely comical. apparently the jeans and sports jacket that matt was rockin is jovi fan material...


2. visiting the Ogden Temple one last time before the renovation with our friends the Beans:

it was a lovely night indeed

3. game night...merv crashed in on our sequence game and we had more fun watching him bat the chips around than we did actually playing the game:

playful little fella

4. matt came down with a bit of a nasty bug, but the good ol' netty pot proved useful. he swears by this thing, but you couldn't catch me dead with that thing in my nose...guuueel!

 5. partying it up at the drive in with the Beans. we jammed to 'ghost busters' and 'you sexy thing' playing from the 15 passenger fan parked next to us. not to mention the yummie pizza runner and banana cream pie in a cup:

Hide your kids, hide your wife...



Ehi, mi piace molto il tuo mustash



oh dear...scary stashes

a buck fitie well spent...

6. i have been trying to expand my rapitore of exercises and tone up...so i cut these little denise austin numbers out of my women's day last week. i dabbled in experimenting with them throughout the week, but never really put my 'back into it' until friday. on friday i whipped the waist whittler, i crushed the crunch & relax, i scorched the spine stretch...ya, you get the idea, i put my all into these little toning workouts! and what did i get for all my hard work and healthy aspirations? a big, fat, very painful pulled back muscle! now... i am not quite sure how i score with pain tolerance, maybe i am a big baby...it's hard to tell...i just know it hurt...bad! so i went to the doc this morning {which is a big deal for me because i am pretty much freaked out by doctors...not quite as much as fish, but still...} so basically i had to stay cooped up all day, laying down with 800 mg of ibuprofen and heat and ice. the doc said after 24 hours i can stretch it out more, but to be more careful with my little toning exercises...apparently i am more out of shape than i thought!
