I've joined two online forums in the past week, one is from SCIFI.com, and the other is for work, performanceboats.com.
It's funny how dangerous it is to post something, because sooner or later someone will rip you to pieces, no matter what you wrote. I try to stay positive (and careful) but there's assholes everywhere I'm learning....
On another note, if you have a kidless night definitely rent "Heartbreak Kid" with Ben Stiller. It is definitely one of the more crass comedies you'll find.
We went to see two movies over the holidays; I Am Legend and No Country For Old Men.
Didn't like either of them. Too depressing, no redeeming ending to make you feel good. They were both sooooooo sad and unfulfilling.

And the Race Begins
Now that we're in January, I'm in a foot race like no other. The next few months will be a hectic dash to get everything put together and executed successfully, so my year won't be a total waste of time.
First, there's the American Cancer Society fundraiser. We kick off activities in two weeks and I'm sooooo not ready for that.
Then, there's the model boat clubs races and the Vettes and Vipers car show in February. That's after we head out to the Glamis dunes in California for the Jagged X off road event.
We have the Lincoln Day Dinner in Feb as well, with Sherriff Joe Arpaio speaking to the crowd. This will be a huge event because it's an election year and people flock to Sherriff Joe like he's a rock star.
In March we are dedicating our time to preparation for the big truck show, which is scheduled for the first weekend in April. Then, two weeks later we have the Havasu Havoc Truck Show, sponsored by Truckin' Magazine. That one's a nightmare because it's all twenty-something year olds with very expensive vehicles.
The week after that is the Desert Storm Poker Run, with huge expensive offshore boats who come to our lake just to show off and be on t.v. We only run a small portion of that event, which is fortunate.
The week after that we begin our Regatta season, which means there's an event on the water every weekend for two months--then two months off--then two more months of solid events. YIKES.
In the next month I have so much preparation and planning, I might lose my mind.
Oh well, it's better than working a real job.

OH. MY. GAWD.
I say "Oh my GAWD" because I finally met someone who literally sang the soundtrack to my 21st year. Brian Holland is the lead singer for a rock group called "Offspring." He and his band are still together, though not as popular as they were back in the 90's. They sang "Pretty Fly for a White Guy," and several other tunes that we all would blast on the stereo.
He's a pilot, and has a bitchin hangar next door to my boyfriend's out at the airport. Steve told me about him several years ago, but I've never been lucky enough to meet Brian because he's either taking his private jet out to the taxi-way, or he's driving his truck out of there.
His hangar is bitchin because it's big enough to hold his jet that has an anarchy symbol on the tail fin, his Russian L-39 jet that he flies for fun, and also the two story condo that he had built in there. Steve showed me the condo one day, when Brian was out of town. It has a "patio" out front (although inside the hangar) with a green astroturf lawn and a custom pool table. Then inside, the downstairs has a full bar and big screen t.v. with all kinds of comfy furniture. The upstairs has a master suite, a second bedroom, and two bathrooms. The master suite has a big screen t.v. as well. I guess Brian had all this built in there before he had a house in Havasu. Or maybe it's a guest house or something...
So I finally had the chance to meet him on Saturday. Steve had invited me to tag along on the flight to Calif, to take his boss back home to Santa Ana. As we were getting the lear jet ready, Brian and his co-pilot Mark happened along. I got to meet them both, and they seemed kinda confused about who I was. Mark finally just came right out and asked what I was doing there. When I said I was Steve's girlfriend they kinda got speechless, like, "Dang Steve's a cradle robber!" Too funny.
