- Visit a state I've never been to before. Arizona and Nevada don't count, I'm thinking Illinois (Chicago) or Massachusetts (Boston) but may need to set my sights a bit closer.
- Dance on country night at Borderline. I know everyone went there when they turned 18 but I missed out and need to get my Boot Scootin Boogie on.
- Take a dance class. I miss dancing!! Sea World Champs 2009!
- Ride a horse
- Camp on the Channel Islands. Not Catalina. My dad and I keep talking about a few days of real camping on either Santa Barbara or Santa Cruz.
- Rent a paddle board
- Take a picture with a celebrity. I've lived in SoCal my entire life but have only met one C list celebrity - this seems almost impossible and my luck needs to change.
- Go to a Kings Game. No explanation needed.
- Make my first investment. I study it, I read about it, time to take the plunge.

Not Another Resolution

It's All About LIFE Life
On my bday proving I can still be a kid
Birthday Fun with the Girls
July 26th -30th - Fifth Annual Girls Vegas Trip. Summer wouldn't be complete without it. I started thinking about previous trips and WOW, there are some memories I need to share. Watch for 'Ode to Vegas'. Our excuse this year is Julia's bachelorette party. I'm so excited to celebrate with her and even more excited for her and Steve to take the plunge!
August 5th - Ventura County Fair. HUNTER HAYES. It's too bad he's only 21 because I would sure like a tall glass of him (well he's also only 5'6" so I guess I won't be having a tall glass of anything). Even though I'll be surrounded by screaming tweens, I still can't wait to see him perform!

'Maturing' Probably Won't Be That Bad
And this is Kathy telling the babes on the curb she needs to move the curb block off sign so the Biebs can park his limo. Needless to say they weren't impressed.

My Dream of Becoming a Tambourinist....
....was crushed Friday night. If I was granted an easy ticket to fame and fortune, it would happen by becoming a tambourinist for a group like Destiny's Child, The Beach Boys, Creed, or Gotye. Think about it, while all the talented members play guitars, drums, and sing, I'll just stand on the side dancing, beating the tambourine, and looking cute (well trying). I've considered putting up a craigslist add to see if any up and coming bands need one but haven't gotten around to doing it yet.
So back to Friday night - for weeks the roomies and I have been excited to go to Soho in Santa Barbara and see Tommy & the High Pilots play. I figured this is my big opportunity to show my skills. Let me also tell you, the drummer knows I'd like the gig but has failed to setup an audition.
Here's the guys playing, Tommy & the High Pilots are the four on the left. Lucky for me (or so I thought), they had guest musicians playing so I figured I would be included.
Here's me waiting (on the left) by the tambourine I thought I would be playing soon. I waited song after song but never was called on stage to play. By now I've gotten the hint, Tommy & the High Pilots isn't my ticket but it was an amazing soon and I hope to see them perform soon. On another note, if you know any up and coming bands, let them know I'm a 'seasoned' tambourine artist.
O ya, we stopped by Winco on our way home - I HIGHLY recommend going in the middle of the night. Call it a playground for adults who get pleasure from buying cheap snacks and house hold products for cheap without being bothered by those really annoying slow grocery cart shoppers.

We came, We saw, We conquered
I've lived in Oxnard for 10 years and finally went to see what this Strawberry Festival was all about. Liz, Cherry (at the Strawberry festival, ironic I know), and I had strawberry beer, strawberry margaritas, strawberry nachos, and of course strawberries.
We have four lovely new glasses as pictured above... exactly what we need.. to add to our collection of glasses from weddings, ex boyfriends, birthdays, and our house warming party. Anyone need a set of glasses?
I didn't want to wait in the 20 minute line to take a picture next to the real strawberry festival sign so the one next to the security guard works, right?
Strawberry margs and sittin on some strawberry festival hay.
What's your sleep number?
So this was a highlight. Liz and I saw this photo op and knew it was a must. We got in line and asked the cute couple behind us to take our picture. We put our faces in the strawberries and both noticed another family taking our picture. We started walking away from the cut outs and noticed a little girl had joined us! That family will have a very interesting photo from the festival. Liz and I were chugging beers and the little girl was as happy as can be.
Last but not least, a ten foot tall cowboy grabbed us by our hair - all his idea.
