A lil bit Country

Posted on by vballphil in Country, Dublin Dr. Pepper, Friends, Fun

So when an awesome friend (Amy) comes into town your suppose to let them be the visitor right? It is THEIR vakay right? One would think…but of course somehow I make my friend’s vakay my personal get-a-way! haha….first up Hard Eight BBQ (the original of course) in Stephenville with Amy, Sarah, and Misty. After that FAB lunch we were off to Dublin, Texas (aka Dr. Pepper, Texas). Oh my obsession with DDP…THANK YOU MISTY COOK. haha

After the tour and stocking up GALORE on DDP, we headed off to Misty’s grandparents ranch….fricking GORGEOUS. So Sarah of course has wanted to go COW TIPPING FOREVER…and with the cattle out there she tried to actually cow tip…bahaha. Seriously classic….

Ahhhh…..Winter Wonderland

So, did I know it would be seriously a winter wonderland when I arrived in Cinci? Um, negatory ghost rider! I mean I figured I would fly into a snowy land in Chitown, but fresh powder in Cinci…amazing! And that was just the start of the good times out of Cinci. From the amazing Peters family (Really? Seriously?) to the Westerkamm Fam to the great clinics to ACE to Men in Tights…nuff said!



M2 Time!










And then flying home over a snowy grand canyon?! So fricking gorgeous!!


BY THE WAY…MY ICE CREAM!!!

Rose Bowl 2010

Posted on by vballphil in 2010, Cheap Trick, Fun, Rose Bowl

So as many times as I have gone to the Rose Bowl, it has never been for football AND not for a BOWL game nonetheless. And ironically, my GOAL for 2010 is to start living my life as an ADVENTURE…so this was a PERFECT start to my Adventure driven 2010! Hahaha. Anyways, my friend Mary had some extra tickets when her family got sick right before the game, so Mary took Katie & me. TOO MUCH FUN…from driving on the actual parade route by accident (we so wanted to wave to the people) to the traffic from the blockades to CHEAP TRICK PLAYING AT THE RB TAILGATE (and singing ALL my fave songs….I am so a 70’s/80’s rock chick) to meeting all the great people at the game…SO MUCH FUN!!

Aftermath of the Rose Parade…hahaa

CHEAP TRICK BABY!

The Game




And can I just say CINCY ON THURS?!?!?! OMG!

Newness

Posted on by vballphil in D4K, Friends, Fun, MAC, Mizuno Long Beach, new car, volleyball

So maybe everything is not “technically” new, but it is new to me!! With my SECOND new used car, to the opening of the MAC (home to Mizuno Long Beach), to the 2010 tryouts for club…and the approach of my “new” year (not to be explained online, but just know that this past Oct-Oct has been incredibly rough in all areas of my life) I am looking forward to a new chapter in my life. NO I am not moving or anything radical like that…just trying to move forward. Many many exciting things lie ahead of me…from vball to personal to job…so excited to see what 2010 has in store!!

My 2nd NEW USED Car….my blue crush (07 Nissan Versa)

And of course…D4K Fun 😉


Mobile Mania

Posted on by vballphil in Chili's, Disneyland, Friends, Fun, phones, pic day

So who needs a high tech camera when you have a mobile phone these days….I mean I might not have a flash on my treo palm, but hey, it gets the job done…and then there are all my friends that have “crackberries” and they have flashes…hehe…

In the last month, most of my photos have been from cameras…who knew!!

My Happy Place….

Posted on by vballphil in DCA, Disneyland, Friends, Fun
So, one does not TRULY realize what one has lost until it is gone (or not able to be visited frequently…haha). I always say that the two places that I can get away from my volley existence is at Disneyland or when I am cooking…so, Disney it is (Cooking for one is truly not fun)! My pass is working again SO I headed to Disney Cali Adventure this past Sunday for a few hours…and not only did I have a blast (typical), but met some of my Disney PIC’s fab friends from his SC days…ahhh, so my happy place!!








Here is a CLASSIC video from the BEST RIDE EVER, Tower of Terror…It is way dark, but just listen…hehe

One of Those Crazy Weekend’s

Posted on by vballphil in Beach Babes, Family, Fun, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Sisters, wedding

So this past weekend proved to be a tad bit action packed (the story of my life right now ironically). From the Mira Costa Alumni Match Fundraiser for D4K, to the Beach Babes Tournament, to Kashi and Chris’ wedding, to my dad’s belated family dinner…good times…haha. Actually, I truly can’t complain since the events ran pretty smoothly.
