A brief rundown on me the past few weeks:
I spent two weeks taking care of the zoo that is my parent's house with 4 dogs (plus mine) and two cats. It's amazing how high maintenance those little creatures are. I now have a new appreciation for my mom and her patience to spend all day with them. It was two weeks of living in two places, back and forth, checking mail, dropping things off there, picking things up here... But it was worth it. My parents had a great time.
In the midst of the 2 weeks, Jon made his second trip up to Las Vegas. This time he stayed for one week, but when he left, I was wishing he hadn't stayed so long. I got too used to having him around. Maybe it would be more accurate to say I wished he didn't have to leave. I will see him again at Thanksgiving, and the time can't come soon enough.
While he was here, we visited the Hoover Dam. It was the first time for both of us. I would recommend for anyone visiting the Hoover Dam for the first time to not go at night. Kind of hard to appreciate the whole thing. And beware of the big statue. It gave me the creeps.
Jon and I saw Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds do an acoustic show. I never thought I'd get the opportunity to see them after I missed them about 5 years ago when they played in Montclair, about 20 mins from where I lived. It was a great show and Dave was in usual form of silliness and random accents, topics, and observations. Everytime I see The Thunder From Down Under, I shall now think of Dave. Not rushing back to the Aladdin to see a show, however. Not after the experience of having to stand up ten thousand times while the people next to us came and went aaaaalllll night. More leg room, people. And SIT DOWN and STAY THERE!!
I got rear ended the other day while driving home. It scared me pretty good, but once I was finally able to pull over and assess the damage, I found there was nothing more than a few indentations on Leah's bumper, so I did my good deed for the day and let the kid go. He seemed relieved.
That same night, I experienced one of the scariest events of my life when I got home and found a lost 2 year old girl wandering my complex's parking lot. She became scared at one point and ran out of the gate and halfway into the first lane of a busy (and dark) highway. She was able to be coaxed back and her mom was found shortly thereafter, but it freaked me out pretty good.
Last night I spent 2 1/2 hours listening to music and giving my opinion on hundreds of songs. A unique experience and one that brought back a lot of memories as I listened to various hooks of songs that are old and new. However, I couldn't wait to get back into my car and listen to an entire song play. Someone with ADD would have loved the experience.
I watched She's Having a Baby on Saturday and laughed and cried like always. I love that movie.

One Love Might Make a Difference
The reasons why I love him today:
He lies and tells me he's not sleeping just so he can hear me say good morning.
He's not a very good liar.
He hates drama just as much as I do.
He loves my dog.
He gives amazing massages.
He loves chocolate as much as I do.
He changed my condo's air filter "because it was dirty and needed it", vacuumed my house when it didn't need it, and washed my car because he's nice like that.
He got through meeting most of my friends and overprotective former co-workers like a champ when I was a nervous wreck.
Because he shows me he loves me every single day.
