Take your president to work day!

I had a fun 1/2 hour at work today...The President had to drive down Sahara to go to the east side of town to speak somewhere (they would not tell us where)..so we got to watch them shut down all the streets and block all the driveways with cop cars...this took about a 1/2 an hour, then a ton of motorcycles went by then The President came by and Charlie snapped the photo!
I wonder if Mr. Obama saw me standing there and said "Wow, I like her boots" Hee-Hee!!
Anyway, it was a fun "take your president to work day"...ok, back to work everyone we have taxes to pay!

Mr. Obama

Busy Busy

Hi,

I have been working a lot with the hubby, we got busy the last couple weeks!

When I get home I have been getting some sewing done, I made a new purse to go with my western boots this winter. Same Amy Butler pattern as the last purse, but with some slight alterations, little smaller on the bottom, let's just say I got creative with the directions! I did the quilting on the handles but had to consult a pro for the bottom pieces, I paid her with a dinner at Bahama Breeze and a fun night at the Don Henley concert! She said it was a good trade! I am going to attempt the next one strictly on my own, no help!

I am also making a quilt this is the pattern but the fabrics are blue batiks and cream background...So stay tuned for the creativecat is going to be creating lots of new goodies!

Commercial music

Is anyone enjoying the commercials as much as I am?
I love the Elton John Rocket Man commercial, People are singing what they think Elton is saying in the song, too funny..then at the end they tell you the real lyrics...Uh, That's what he is saying?


Oh and Allstate, Mr. Mayhem commercials, geez, you just gotta love the bad boys! Mr. Mayhem is so adorable as a raccoon tearing up your attic!


And tonight while watching the Rangers play baseball, I see this new car commercial, the kids in the car start singing Crazy Train by Ozzie! Love that!


I must say commercials are getting a little more entertaining! Especially while watching Mike Napoli hit homeruns!

This is good...

This is my life...right now...

Sunday night at Boulder Station???

We love to go to Boulder Station on Sunday night..it is our little ritual...we go have dinner at the Mexican restaurant, where everyone knows our name, then we go to the bar and watch football or baseball depending on the season, have a couple drinks and play some keno.
We are home by 9 to go to bed and go to work.

Well, this week Charlie came to me with an unexpected expense, he needed to help Joe pay to get his car fixed, after all they have a new baby on the way, so I decided, no Boulder Station to make up for the expense. Instead I made Boulder Station come to us!!

How is this for creativity??? Yes, they call me creativecat for a reason!

Boulder Station has Paper Keno:



Live Keno on my laptop, and printed keno cards to play with!

Boulder Station has a bucket of beer,  glass of wine and chips and salsa as soon as we sit down at our favorite table!

Boulder Station has Live Keno and Baseball and Mexican music playing!

Boulder Station has Carnitas Tacos and refried beans and gaucamole!

Charlie was very impressed that I recreated our favorite hang out here at home! We had fun playing along with the live keno, eating our tacos and watching baseball!

Don Henley and Scrapbooking!

Friday night we got tickets to see Don Henley at The Joint in The Hard Rock Hotel, I knew Charlie liked the Eagles music and thought this may be one concert he enjoys, I was right, he really had a great time!
Don Henley was great, he sang all the hits from the good old days...It was so fun to see Hotel California performed live, and everyone in the audience sang along! I loved to hear him sing Sunset Grill, one of my favorite songs.
What a nice night out that was!

Saturday found me scrapbooking all day at Sweet Retreat in Henderson, this was a crop put on by Chel at  www.sweetretreatweekend.com This was a fabulous day of scrapbooking, she had games and prizes, lots of goodies and even fed us hot dogs and more! It was all halloween themed and so much fun!

This is the candy table set up, all the goodies you can eat!

We played bingo for some really good prizes, but I did not win. We also played music trivia, yes, my table won that one...it was all scary movie music! Can you say Ghostbusters and Thriller??

Chel puts on a great crop!
