Cake. Flat Stanley. UFC.
One of the girls on my team had her last day at work on Friday so I made a Cat Box cake. It is actually a very good cake once you get past the visual :o) I put it out on the table with newpapers around it and it was almost perfect. I think the picture with Token is the best though!
We just received a letter from Michael. He sent us his Flat Stanley to take around Colorado. The story is that Stanley was flattened by a bulletin board and so his parents mailed him to see his friends and family. Michael has sent out his Flat Stanley so we can "show" him around Colorado. We are keeping a journal of his visit and will be sending back some pictures of our trips. We will also try to post some of them here.
UFC has finally come back to Colorado and we have tickets!!! It is a really great card and we are getting really excited. A lot of the guys fighting are from the Ultimate Fighter show and we are pretty close to the cage- it is going to be such an amazing day!!!

Quick update
Last weekend Cory and I participated in the OppenheimerFunds 2008 Employee's Choice event- the Volunteers of America Runnin' of the Green. It was a little on the chilly side but we had a really fun time. Last week, and continuing through this week, Cory was in technical training. Emma finally killed her Wubbie- a Kong toy that has lasted a lot longer than most of them do. If anyone knows of a seriously indestructible dog toy, we are always looking for a new adventure. I think this one lasted a little over a month. Token is still keeping Emma in shape. She has found a new pattern across the furniture to get away from Emma a little better. Plus, we just rediscovered her squeaky mouse which was a lot of fun to play with. If only she wouldn't carry it over the gate where Emma can "play" with it!
We have also been spending a lot of time getting to know our new little niece. She is so adorable (as you can see by the pictures below) and it is fun to have a baby around.

I got tagged!
I got tagged by Andrea-
HERE'S HOW YOU PLAY. ONCE YOU'VE BEEN TAGGED YOU HAVE TO WRITE A BLOG OF TEN WEIRD, RANDOM THINGS, FACTS OR HABITS ABOUT YOURSELF. AT THE END, YOU CHOOSE FIVE PEOPLE TO BE TAGGED, LISTING THEIR NAMES AND WHY YOU CHOSE THEM TO BE TAGGED. DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE THEM A COMMENT "YOU'RE IT" AND TO READ YOUR BLOG. YOU CAN'T TAG THE PERSON WHO TAGGED YOU. SINCE YOU CAN'T TAG THAT PERSON BACK, LET HIM OR HER KNOW WHEN YOU'VE POSTED YOUR BLOG SO HE OR SHE CAN READ YOUR ANSWERS.
1- I like all of my clothes facing the same way on the hangers. It is a lot better than I used to be when I liked to match my light color clothes with white hangers and dark clothes with dark hangers. And then I like to hang them by sleeve lengths and color coded within the smaller sections.
2- I love to sing in my car but I really don't know a lot of songs so I tend to make up my own words. And keep in mind, when I am singing, it is at the very top of my lungs!
3- I am thankful that I have a degree in psychology so I am able to talk myself out of some of the crazies that enter my head. I started developing a small OCD with locking the front door and then having to check it and then getting back out of bed and having to check it again and again. At least my student loans were probably cheaper than therapy would have been :o)
4- I love watching movies over and over and over and over. It drives Cory nuts when I do it but my newest obsession is "The Holiday". It is so sweet and has a great ending- why not watch it every week?
5- I have a serious problem with reality tv. I need to know how Lauren deals with Brody when she gets back from London, I am sad that Ryan couldn't make it work with Kayla, I am excited to see that Brigette quit drinking and smoking and I hope Seth will be able to make it work better in the next 6 months, I can't wait to see Scott get married tonight, and I am hoping that Bret ends up with Kristy Jo because she is a little psycho and I think he deserves it, I wish they would follow up with a new Newport Harbor so I can see if Crissy and Clay were able to work it out, I want to know what the final challenge is because I think the veterans will have too many people, I haven't seen an episode of Detroit SWAT in forever so I am a little excited for the new DEA show,I with that Hef would marry Holly, I hope Jon and Kate keep their show going so we can see the kids grow up a little more, I don't understand some of the parenting skills (or complete lack of) on Supernanny, are they not still fishing for crab- why no new Deadliest Catch shows, I want to know if Chris and Adrienne are having a baby, I really hope that Trace wins Celebrity Apprentice- I told you it was serious!!!!
6- I am really tired of cleaning up poo! Emma has not been feeling well lately :o(
7- I am afraid to grill. I understand the basic idea of how to turn the gas on and light the grill and whatever but I am to scared to try it on my own. I have no idea when that happened because I think I used to grill out when I lived with Kellie.
8- I talk to my dog....a lot. I love cuddling on the couch with Emma while we are waiting for Cory to get home from work and we chat. No she doesn't really talk back but she understands just the same and never thinks I am stupid.
9- I wish I had a sewing machine. Given the fact that I barely passed Home Ec I don't know how it would work out but I really want one. I have a few ideas of things I would like to try to make and I am thinking they will take a sewing machine.
10- I would love to be an FBI profiler.
I am tagging....
Brenda- Because I want her to make a new blog entry!!!
Tiffany- It was fun catching up in August and I want to see what she will post.
Jessica- Because I still have a hard time remembering that she a mommy now- she is stuck in my brain at 10ish! :o)
Beth- I love to keep up on her blog and I think it would be fun to know some random thing
Kim- Same reason as Beth's
