So long Miami

we are leaving Miami this morning. I have to say I am kind of sad. It has been a cultural experience that I will never forget. We board the cruise in an hour... I think Eric is still in bed, but awake. We are going on the Norweign Cruise Line, and I think its a big up grade from a Days Inn.
We are going to Belize, Cozumel, Hondurus, Roaton, and their private Island. I know on Belize we are going down a cave that has a river going through it, and we are on tubes.. it will be awesome, and then we are going on four wheelers through the jungle. So we should get some cool pictures.

I doubt I can use the internet because its like 20 bucks a minute, and we still need to pay rent. But like I always say.. I will blog, I will blog, because I was made to blog.

Airports and Humidity

Tonight I am writing this blog luckily in a Days Inn. Its one of the many ammentities they offer. Actually the only one. I think Ive never been so scared in my life. Im in Miami.. So the city does have a bad rap, but come on will smith sings about it... So it all started with a bad storm in slc.. the worst one of the year, luckily we boarded the plane and waited on the runway in a line of planes for an hour. Im not complaining, im just glad I got out of there. Then we wound up in Dallas with only 20 minutes to get to our next plane to catch to Miami... now dallas airport is the size of rhode island, and we had to take a trax type thing around the whole airport. Luckily we got there in time. I have never ran so much in my life. We landed in Miami about 9 pm. I hate humidity, mostly because my hair is crazy, but then I do have good skin...

Wish me luck, on the night in Miami.. I have never seen so many cubans in my life.. wow.. can they come here? on the other hand, I have no allergies, So thanks miami and humitity. I love this day!

Our snow day...and a Mariachi band

Eric and I were having a great day up little cottonwood canyon taking pictures. He loves to take pictures of nature, etc. This was far up little cottonwood, and Eric went up a little more into the snow to get some more pictures. I stood more by the side of the road. I turned my head and all of a sudden there was some people talking and playing guitar... I looked and saw there was a Mariachi band posing and singing. I think they were getting pictures. So as soon as Eric got back, Eric and I got pictures with them. If you really think of it... We had to get a picture to prove the story.

Lindsay's favorite things

Oprah has been bugging me lately. It all started with her strong political views on her show, and telling us all needed to go green.
What happened to the Oprah that I use to know? The oprah that did make overs, that gave out cars to everyone ( "you get a car, you get a car, you get a car!"), or Oprah's favorite things. She decided not to do them this year. Its something you look forward to...Christmas, Thanksgiving, Oprah's favorite things, its all in the same category. It's the show you wait all year for, but yet you end up hating all the people that get everything. They get camera's, tv's, cars, clothing, things that add up to 20,000. So maybe its a good thing it didn't happen this year.
She decided to do a show on bargain shopping. LAME. So in lieu of Oprah's favorite things, I am going to do Lindsay's favorite things. Because maybe some people can get some ideas for their holiday shopping.
1. Delicious Apple- by DKNY, its great
2. Blimpie's frosted cookie
3. Superwalmart- I love everything about my neighborhood walmart
4. Diet 7 up pomegranate (limited time only)
5. My Tempurpedic pillow
6. American Eagle Boyfriend Jeans
7. Prozac
8. Marley and Me
9. People magazine and Ok.. never stoop down to Life and Style (even though its cheaper)
10. any reality tv show
