Twitter and Quakes

So I have started using this thing called Twitter. Lisa turned me on to it. Basically I send a text message from my phone and it shows up on my blog. I know everyone is dying to know what exciting things are happening by the minute in my life. Well fans you are now satisfied. Plus we all know I go through blogging stages of 2 blogs a day to well like 2 a month! So this is any easy way to throw little tidbits your way of whats going on. Especially since I could be devoured by the earth at any minute. We have had several earthquakes this week. They are mostly originating in Verdi and Mogul. These areas are about 5-10 miles east of us on I-80, towards Sacramento. So we are feeling them pretty well at our house. Last night especially. We awoke to a shaking bed and the pots on the hanging pot rack banging into each other. But it's not like we actually got out of bed to check on anything. any ways I have just about 2 weeks of school let and 2 essays and 2 presentations and 2 finals! Eww it's yucky. But sweet freedom is on the horizon. Thank you baby Jesus! Anyways keep an eye on Twitter for all my fabulous updates!

Oh what to write about...

Not much. I felt one more earthquake since that one. But just a little jiggle. I have about 4 weeks of school left so I will be busy until then. The weather has been wacky. it was like 70's over the weekend then snowed on Monday and now this weekend is supposed to be real windy. My sister turned 24 last week, and I had 2 office birthdays. Lisa runs her marathon tomorrow an I know she will do great. I can't wait for school to be done with and have a break! Oh geeze not much else. Whoopty do dah day.

I feel the earth move under my feet...

It's a tumbalin' tumbalin' down. Yes I felt an actual earthquake today.After all those years in Utah waiting for the big one I don't think I ever felt an earthquake. At first i thought I was just being silly, but when I got to work my boss who only lives about a half mile from me called and said she felt one to. And the news confirms it. Cool man.

I'm a loser okay!

Listen I know haven't posted but I don't have anything interesting to post about. Nothing exciting has happened, at all. School is getting close to being over so I have about a zillion projects I am working on. This weekend will be spent in front of the computer for sure. I'm not neglecting RockinReno I am just not exciting. In that last 3 week the most fun I had was bowling. Whoopie. On a plus side this weekend its supposed to get up to 70. But then next week its going to snow. I live in a strange world over here. I have done our taxes, filed my financial aide papers, and signed up for next semester. Just a lot of boring stuff to get out of the way before summer. So I'm sure your asleep by now because of how boring this post is.

A fab trip

Jess and I went to fabulous San Francisco. We had a great time. We shopped all over China Town, and got some great buys. My favorite was a nice high class pen that I got Matt. The girl on the pen looses her bathing suit when you turn it upside down. It was a bargain at only a dollar. We also scored some really cute purses and other little things. Riding the cable cars was really fun. Good thing Jess was looking out for me cause I was hanging off the side and leaned back to take a picture and she pulled me in before I lost my head to a car mirror. Our hotel was great. The room was a little small but we didn't spent much time there anyways. It was a great location right across from Walgreen's and right in union square. That Walgreen's was a life saver! We took a bay cruise that went under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz. We didn't get to see Alcatraz up close, next time we will buy our tickets far in advance. We met up with my friend Shannon and had dinner at the Stinking Rose. A garlic based restaurant. We also hit a couple bars and it was a great time. We both rode the BART which is kinda like the subway, to our airports. It was a great trip and a great adventure!! Click on the slide show to the right to see all the great pictures.

RockinReno Takes A Break

Hey. I will be taking a break from the blog this week because I have midterms and on Thursday I am headed to San Francisco with Jess. So check back next week some time and I'm sure I will have lots of pictures and stories to tell. Thanks.

Arches National Park-WOTD

When I was a kid we used to travel to the National parks in and around Utah. One of the vey coolest is Arches. There are some realy amazing things to see there. it is a great place to camp too. My sister and I used to gather pine nuts and roast them in the fire and eat them. They were so good, and those things in the store are really expensive now! Arches is really cool to drive through and there are many sites you can see from the road, but if you hike just alittle you get to see really amazing arches and land forms. It is a beautiful place and I am glad that I have been able to experience it!
