Okay...I need help!

So in fall this year I will be turning 29, and so will my friend D. Anyways we have decided that we need to do something...fun, different, monumental....anything to celebrate this monumental birthday...it'll be our last year in our 20's!

For birthdays we have always done dinner and a movie. Now we want to do something different.

Thing is...trying to think up stuff we could do...I have no idea.

Now, nothing too extravagent...like go to Europe....we want to do that but not that much money and time away from work available for either of us.

But still something....good.

D mentioned off the top of her head a spa weekend...like literally at a spa. I was thinking...sky diving. :) Haven't mentioned that one to D yet but if I remember correctly that's something she said she'd be happy never doing. :)

So the help I need is suggestions. Any? Please?! Pretty please!?

What could 2 single women do that would be fun and we'd definately remember for awhile? Without necessarily having to leave the state....or you know...fly anywhere. (Low fundage remember? Well, we at least not want to go into large debt to do whatever...we willing to spend money just not as much as a trip somewhere would cost.)

Please comment with suggestions...even expensive if you must...just so we can get some ideas to bounce around. THANKS TONS FOR ANY HELP!!!!

Monday Morning

Ughh. So, I almost got side hit this morning while driving to work.

I was driving on Clayton Road and was even with an SUV in the left lane...car in front of her turned on their left turn signal...no turn lane...and hit their brakes slowly...she quickly started to merge around the car right into me. she never even looked over to see if there was a car in the other lane...which there was...ME!

Slammed on my brakes and layed on my horn....I still don't know how she didn't hit me. But because of my honk the car in front of her slammed on their brakes as well... and somehow we all came to a stop with her front end angled into my lane and seriously like an inch from mine rest of her car about half was into my lane and I was practically pinned in the lane.

The car in front of her finally moved and she merged back into her lane, and I started to drive on. She then layed on the horn at the other car when they finally turned (at least I think she was honking at the other car...if she was honking at me she TOTALLY doesn't know how to drive!).

She then tried to pace me but when I kept looking at her with the evil eye she let off her gas and slowed down a lot. ughh. The force of braking so hard threw my purse down on the floor and smashed the doughnuts I had brought for breakfast. :)

I seriously still not know how she didn't hit me...I was totally bracing for impact...I had merged over to the right shoulder when I saw her start to merge into my lane, but couldn't go far as there's a high curb there and there's no bike lane or anything.

I hope she at least now looks before she changes lanes...even if she thinks she's on top of knowing who's around her...cause she obviously didn't see me.

What a way to start out a Monday huh? :) Hope your week has a better start!

All Star Game 2009

This year the All Star Game is being held in St Louis! Above is a statue that St Louis has put up in Clayton. Whether it's anywhere else in town I have no idea. But St Louis has been crazy the past week or so preparing for this event! Have to say rush hours haven't been too bad though...as I head the opposite direction. :)

Now being a St Louis girl, I was rooting for the National League (as the Cardinals had three or four players on that team). But unfortuneately the America League won. :) Oh well, it was still a fun game to watch.

Go Cards!

Independence Day

Happy 4th of July!
