Bodies on Exhibit

Last Thursday I went to see the Body Worlds Exhibit at The Leonardo. I have to say that this was absolutely amazing. They had tons of different people posed in different positions showing off different muscle groups. They also had an exhibit displaying fetuses going from conception up to 35 weeks. It was cool to see that by 9 weeks they have fingers and toes. Very cool! About half of the bodies were in cases and the other half were just displayed out in the open. They said you weren't allowed to touch them, but I have to admit that I wanted to very badly. I was very interested to see what they felt like.

They wouldn't let us take any pictures so we took some of ourselves displaying the different body positions.

Rebekah (She thought we were dumb when we did this and she was mad that we made her get into a position. She got over it quickly though!)

Anyone like the new shades???

Rachel and I went to Wendover this weekend and found some new

shades at the gift shop. You like?

Kelly and Reba in Concert

Friday night I went to the Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson concert. This was probably one of my top two concerts....of course, Tim, outweights this one by far. Anyway, they both have amazing voices and sounded fabulous live. The concert was at the Energy Solutions Arena so the accoustics on a few of the songs were not very good, but their voices made up for that.

Rachel and I with the stage behind us....you can't see it though.

They did the whole concert together and sang most of their songs with each other. There were a few where they took turns being a back up singer. It was a fabulous concert!

A Sad Day in the News

I don't know how many of you love these cookies, but I do.....especially when they have been sitting in an air tight container and get really soft. Well I have some sad news for you all. Mother's Cookies is going out of business! :( Yes I know this is a very sad day. Apparently our economy is really bad (Shock, I know!), but the company can't afford to buy the ingredients to make the cookies or the gas to ship them to different areas in the country. I just thought I would share my sad, sad news. I guess I better go stock up on Taffy's and Iced Oatmeal's.

I need help....

Okay....I need your help! Halloween is getting close and I am struggling to decide what to be. If you know me then you know that I love this holiday and I love dressing up. Last year I ended up being three different things. I have had a few ideas, but I want your opinions and maybe one of you would have a great idea for me.

My first thought was Wonder Woman. I was struggling a little with this idea because I was thinking the costume was going to be a lot more scandalous. (i.e. leotard type) Since this costume does have a skirt I may be more up to wearing it.

I also thought of just being a tootsie roll like last year. (Mir, I would need to borrow a costume). It would be very simple and wouldn't cost any money because I have everything available.

Any additional suggestions or opinions about what I have posted?

My Most Recent Painting

When school got out for the summer I had decided that I would do some more painting. I wanted to get my collection up so I could look into getting an Etsy account. Well the 2 1/2 months went by and I still had not completed a single painting. I finally went and picked up a few canvas's and that night I painted the black background. Well, now two or three weeks after painting it black I have decided to finish it. What do you think? I really like how it turned out. It still needs a few touch ups in some places, but it could be one of my favorites so far.
