Vacation!!
In less than ten days I will be on vacation!! I haven't been on a long, non-holiday related vacation since I went to Alberta with my parents...that was a long time ago - they don't even go up that way anymore.
I am spending 8 glorious days on the East Coast staying with Joe and Michaela. We are going to go to the shore, although oddly enough it might still be chilly - that seems so weird considering it is about 107 today here - and to visit Philadelphia, Amish country, and possibly DC. Michaela and I are also going to get to spend a girls day in New York City, since Joe has kindly offered to stay home with Margot. We will go to Time's Square, maybe the Metropolitan Museum of Art and any other place we can think of (or get suggestions to go to). We are also hoping to have lunch with Greg when we go (depending on if it is a Friday or a Saturday we may see Ariana too!)
Then when I come back from Deleware I am immediately wisking off to Cottonwood to go play in the creek with the cousins! It is nice to follow a long trip with a short trip and get to see so much of my family. Funnily enough, we had a retreat at work recently and invited our employee wellness office to do a stress reduction class with us. we focused on breathing, tensed and relaxed muscles and did a visualization walking through a forest. In my forest there was creek with all the cousins playing around and sure enough, I was very relaxed when we had to open our eyes again. I think by the next day I had contacted Liz about having a creek day and it just so happened to work out to do so in a couple weeks. I don't know if it will be as 'relaxing' as in my visualization but It will definitely get my mind off work...and be super fun!
I am thinking at some point this summer my mom and I may have to have a girls vacation in the White Mountains too, since it sounds like dad might have a summer full of jury duty (no word yet). I am sure the two of us could keep ourselves entertained for a weekend...heck we might even find a creek to play in :)

6 years ago...
Around this time 6 years ago I created this blog as I headed off on my first big solo adventure to the British Isles. I diligently posted everyday about my trip and the sights I saw.
Things haven't been as interesting day-to-day since then but I am happy to say that since my first post 6 years ago I have posted 200 entries which have been viewed 2000 times and had 300 comments.
Other notable statistics from the last 6 years:
I have earned 2 degrees
Moved 4 times
Had 7 roommates
Lived with 2 cats and 1 dog (not at the same time)
Held 7 jobs (as a student and an employee)
Become an Aunt
Bought a car
Flown 10 times
Visited 5 countries, and 7 states
Met my best friend
Lost both grandmothers
Gained 4 cousins-once-removed (Anna is 6 right?)
...and done countless other things that I can't remember but know I have written down...or wisely haven't written down :)

May Day Memes
A meme is an image, video, article, etc passed around from internet user to internet user usually with some cultural connection the shared users. For instance, a well known photo might travel around the internet with different captions on it as it pertains to the various people it is sent to.
Example:
So basically people try to get clever with what they say.
Here are two I like for May:

I have roommated.
If there were months of activity that I failed to record...did they even really happen?
Yes, indeed they did.
At the end of February I moved into a townhouse. the house is owned by a woman I play bunco with named Laura, and we are now roommates. I definitely got the good end of this deal - I have the master bedroom and it has not 1, not 2, but 3 closets! plus a built in cabinet. The first closet is a walk in closet, and I am pretty sure it is big enough to fit my queen-sized bed into if I had wanted to. the second closet is on the outside of the walk in and faces into the main part of the room (towards my bed) with mirrored sliding doors. the third closet is on the wall shared by the walk in closet and the bathroom and it also has mirrored sliding doors so the entirety of the East wall is mirrored and closeted...needless to say it is perfect for someone moving out of a one bedroom apartment and into one bedroom.
Laura is also very funny. We have a similar sense of humor so can say very few words before we are cracking up. I recently got a great hair cut. I encouraged Laura to go to the same woman and she did. she sent me a picture of her haircut and I said it looked just like mine implying that maybe she liked me a little too much. her comeback was "yeah, but it looks cuter on me." Ha! I did LOL at that one.
Yes, indeed they did.

| This is only half my bedroom (the area to the right is all the closets and bathroom) |
Laura has a dog named Carlos. he is a rescue mutt and 'looked like a Carlos' just like the baby in The Hangover. Carlos doesn't have any of the attributes I normally take issue with in dogs. he doesn't bark, or smell, or jump on you. Best of all, he doesn't shed either! he is a really sweet dog and Laura does all the feeding, cleaning and walking with him, so I just get to give him attention when I want to, and leave him alone when I don't. Laura of course, loves him to pieces and I joke that her favorite hobby is to stare at him.
 |
| he had just gotten a hair cut - he looks much better a little shaggier |
Laura also cooks. I cook too, but more in a Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade (but hardly-homemade) style. Laura will buy the spices, veggies, and odd ingredients to make meals completely from scratch! things like carne asada, and slaw for fish tacos, and marinara sauce - you know things easily bought at a store pre-made. I am NOT complaining. It is awesome! And we eat really well. I am now just a bit intimidated to cook around her. I mentioned that one of my favorite meals to make is chicken tikka masala (Indian food). I buy a jar of tikka masala sauce, chicken, and frozen veggies and cook them together and serve over rice. She said, "that sounds good, you know I have those spices we could probably make that without buying the sauce." oh, ok...yeah we could do that (but I wouldn't know how to start).

Favorite Fun Facts
So I don't know if you know this about me, but I kinda love pieces of information, trivial tidbits, knowledgeable knowhow...in other words little known facts.
In honor of Arizona's centennial, I have decided to post my 10 favorite facts about Arizona as found at az100years.org. The site posted 100 facts - and I of course read them all - but some of them aren't that fun or fascinating and therefore did not make my top 10.
Since it is president's day I will start with this one:
1) In 1912, President William Howard Taft was ready to make Arizona a state on February 12, but it was Lincoln’s birthday. The next day, the 13th, was considered bad luck so they waited until the following day. That’s how Arizona became known as the “Valentine State.”
2) Santa Cruz County (1,237 sq. miles) is the smallest of Arizona’s 15 counties, but is larger than more than 72 countries.
AND
3) The state of Massachusetts could fit inside Maricopa County (9,922 sq. miles).
AND
4) All New England, plus the state of Pennsylvania would fit inside Arizona.
5) Arizona has 3,928 mountain peaks and summits—more mountains than any one of the other Mountain States (Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming).
This reminds me of a comment Grandma said once about visiting Oklahoma and having a gentleman tell her she must be so excited to see real mountains. She laughed and said 'oh, I don't think you can go anywhere in Arizona and not see a mountain'
6) Arizona grows enough cotton each year to make more than one pair of jeans for every person in the United States
AND
7) Yuma, Arizona is the country’s highest producer of winter vegetables, especially lettuce
8) Jerome, Arizona was named for Eugene Jerome of New York City, who never visited the town
9) More copper is mined in Arizona than all the other states combined, and the Morenci Mine is the largest copper producer in all of North America
10) Arizona has the largest contiguous stand of ponderosa pines in the world stretching from near Flagstaff along the Mogollon Rim to the White Mountains region.
Now for a few of the LEAST fun or fascinating facts - can some of these even be considered 'facts about Arizona'?
1) Clark Gable and Carole Lombard, two of the most prominent movie stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age, were married on March 18, 1939, in Kingman, Arizona.
2) The world’s largest to-scale collection of miniature airplane models is housed at the library at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, Arizona.
3) Many of the founders of San Francisco in 1776 were Spanish colonists from Tubac, Arizona.
4) The world’s tallest Kachina doll, measuring 39 feet tall and fashioned of concrete, is located in Carefree, Arizona.
5) World War II brought many military personnel to train at Luke and Thunderbird airbases in Glendale.

absent!
Wow I have been absent from the blogosphere for quite a while!
Let's recap the last 6 weeks:
Thanksgiving = awesome, as usual. I actually went up early and helped Vada with the pie-making. We did our traditional post-thanksgiving ladies day in Jerome and as always remember that I have an awesome family.
Next up was my birthday. 26 isn't a very exciting age but I work in an office of a lot of 20-somethings so I am still one of the younger people there. I got an office happy hour plus dinner with Joe and Michaela (and other friends Jeff and Jaime -and jeff is my old boss from the info desk). Turns out another coworker of mine shares the same birthday so the happy hour was fun. I got art supplies from my parents and travel/makeup bags from the Uchino-Thomas clan. Ariana has very good taste.
This month I have made oreos "crack" balls 4 times. I have lost my enthusiasm for oreos. (What are crack balls you ask? They are crushed up oreos mixed with cream cheese, made into balls then dipped in melted chocolate. In other words, divine!)
Now I am up to my eyeballs finding student ambassadors for the social network I run.
Really I just can't wait to go home for Christmas...did you hear? Santa Claus is coming!!! Its our first christmas altogether since Ariana was born and now she is old enough to anticipate Santa :)

Early Christmas Decorating
I went ahead and put up my Christmas tree and decorations today a) because I was bored and b) because I bought my first presents and needed a place to put them.
Also reminds me I need to get christmas lists from my family so I actually buy them things they want :)

Who wants to dress up just once?!
On friday I went to a Halloween party and decided to deck out for the holiday. I got all gussied up, bought a wig, made part of my costume and put on a bunch of make-up (complete with false eyelashes). I was Katy Perry and had a great time!...and spent over $50.
Today I put a fake bird in my hair and grabbed a bunch of mailing labels and had the best, most interactive AND work-appropriate costume I have ever thought of...for free (borrowed the bird from Jenn and used mailing labels I already had) I was Twitter! I went around the office asking people to write a tweet - often teaching them about what Twitter is (outreach!) - and had a blast!
(I don't know why my pictures load sideways from my phone)

Lets play dress up!
I am dressing up as Katy Perry for Halloween (bought a blue wig and everything) but my craft project for the costume was the shoes!
I scoured all kinds of stores for crazy colored, very high heeled shoes and finally settled on plain black shoes and a trip to Michaels
What do you think? :)

This makes me think of my dad, because he likes facts like this
Random fact: This year October has 5 Mondays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens once every 823years.
I don't know if this means it happens in October 823 years, or in any month 823 years...but wow!

Don Jose
I had a great day off - I got to see Margie and Dave and got to watch the dbacks win another game...and got my free shirt!
Th best part though, was going to my friend, Eliza's, birthday dinner at Don Jose mexican restaurant. Yes, THE Don Jose near grandma's house.
It closed a couple years ago, but apparently a customer bought the building and recipes and reopened it...exactly the same. Except now they offer chicken and carnitas. But the furniture, cups, cheese crisp pans, and 5¢ mints are all the same. It even has the old menues (and prices). It was awesome!
And Margie I did ask about the 'same old thing' and the waitress (she worked there before too) said she probably would remember what that was supposd to be if she saw the face of the customer...so Dad and Dick will have to come down and test her.
It was delicious!

This is why I am on Twitter
For all y'all that just don't understand Twitter, or why I have not 1, not 2 but 3 accounts that I manage, let me tell you a story - one of several I have.
Yesterday, I went to the diamondbacks game (which was awesome!) through a promotional offer. the dbacks were hosting their first 'tweetup' event and offered 1/2 off box level seats. what is a tweetup? it is an event held in-person for all the people that usually 'hang-out' online tweeting about the dbacks and sports-related news. it showcased a Q&A panel of Fox Sports Net people like Todd Walsh and then a meet and greet for all the great dbacks tweeters.
I assume that is how it went - that is how it was advertised. I didn't actually make it to the tweetup portion of the evening because it was from 4:30-5:30 and well...I have a job, albeit in social media, but I can't just go galavanting off to tweeting events all over town!
But I still bought those tickets because there was a free tweetup shirt they were handing out and we got $53 box level seats (second tier for those of you watching on tv) for only $25! So when my friends and I got there, the tweetup stuff was over, and there wasn't any station to get the free shirt.
So I tweeted about it: @dbacks I got my #dbackstweetup seats but no shirts:(
(The # is called a hashtag and it signifies a keyword or phrase that you can search in twitter to see what others are saying about the same subject.)
and they tweeted back: @kuhsay did you not make it to the Q&A where we were giving them out?
me: I was on my way here! Couldn't leave work early :(
We tweeted this back and forth throughout the game and that is the last I saw.
I also tweeted other things like this: Whoa the @dbacks have bionic hearing! I just said "I wish the roof was open" and voila! http://lockerz.com/s/140294313
(Because tweeting is fun!)
Then this morning I saw this tweet that they sent right around the time the game ended (I had already left)
them: @Kuhsay sorry to hear. we'll get you one if you're still here. just tweet us your location and shirt size
So I tweeted this morning: @dbacks thanks for trying to get me a shirt! it was such a good game I will be back tomorrow for the 12:30 game!!
to which they replied: @Kuhsay DM us your name and shirt size and we'll leave one for you at guest relations.
DM means direct message, it is private. so I did that and then tweeted: Its official, the @dbacks really ARE the fan friendliest team in sports!
The rest of that story is that Bruce texted me on Sunday asking if I wanted to play hooky from work on Wednesday and go to the dbacks game with them and Margie and Dave because they are coming down for the game. I said yes...and then promptly requested the day off from work (I am a goody-two shoes after all). So I really do get to go to both games :)
That is just one example of the cool stuff I have gotten from twitter - I have also won tickets to a broadway show at Gammage and a $25 gift card to my favorite restaurant for tweeting about them.
I love Twitter.

You're Outta Here!
So last Sunday was the first game of the new season for my softball team - you know, the adult co-ed soft toss 'D' league? Needless to say, we play for fun first and wins if we are lucky.
I play catcher because I don't have much of a throwing arm and I am not a fast runner. It is fun though because I get to interact with the other teams and the home plate umpire.
During one of my at-bats (yes, I am usually like Casey At The Bat and strike out) I hit the ball and ran to first. Likely there was a playing error otherwise I would've been out but this time I got on base. The home plate umpire starts talking to me sternly because I apparently threw the bat when I started running and nearly hit the catcher. I apologized of course. I have never once given conscious thought to my bat because I focus so hard on trying to get to first base.
Cut to my next at-bat: it is the last inning (we were the visiting team) and we were losing...losing enough that we knew we weren't going to have to go back out on the field. I am lead off batter and I once again hit the ball and am so excited start running to first. I am thrown out at first and start to go back to my dogout when the umpire starts yelling at me "I TOLD YOU about your bat and you did it again and hit the catcher. YOU ARE OUT OF THE GAME!"
...
For reals?! I was dumbfounded because a) I don't like getting in trouble b) I have never done anything to get an Ump mad at me much less get thrown out and c) I was already out at first and unlikely to have to go back on the field anyway...oh yeah, and did I mention it is soft toss D league softball?!?!
My coach got mad and yelled at the umpire and got thrown out too! A first for him too. He went to complain about the umpire to the league administrators and found out he had 3 other complaints against him that night!
Luckily the umpire didn't file the ejection with th league because I would've been ineligible to play in this week's game too (they take it really seriously).
Now, I can see where the umpire was coming from - as a catcher I would be upset if someone through a bat at me - it is soft toss so we don't wear any protective gear (not even helmets) but that other catcher didn't really pay close attention so my guess is I didn't have to throw it very hard to hit her. Not like she would jump out of the way. And it is D league so I don't know why the umpire would think I had a ton of control over my bat anyway
It gave me a good story though and some street cred with people who don't know our team or league. I joked with the team playing after us that they better look out for me when we play each other because I am a maniac!

Oh What Pun!
You all know I tend not to post things from other websites, but this is just too funny. If you have seen this, it is worth watching again.
Here is the set up: Anderson Cooper was reporting on Gerard Depardeiu boarding a plane drunk and peeing on the floor of the plane after being told he couldn't use the bathroom during take off. The entire story is a 'golden stream' of potty puns that holds up to, if not exceeds, the Thomas Family Punning Ability.
The whole video is hilarious but gets even better about 2/3 of the way through when Anderson gets the giggles after a a particularly funny pun about Depardeiu only going number 1 and not a 'part deux.'
Be careful, you might laugh so hard you pee your pants!!

Happy Birthday Dad!
Happy Birthday Dad, I didn't get anything in the mail, so we will have to celebrate when you get home. Maybe have an 'experience' like dinner and a movie...you know, quality time together instead of just stuff.
Can't wait for you both to come home!
Love,
Casey

I tried to take some close ups so you can see some details. I also tried to put the photos in order as if you started on the right side and walked in a U-shape all the way around

The Art Show
I drove down to Tucson this afternoon for the Fiber Art Show at the JCC to see my mom's art pieces in the show. I am so proud of my mom for moving her craft into the next phase and finally being recognized for the art she makes. Plus it was really cool to we what her friends made too.
I hung out with Alex Smythe for most of the show and it was great to see him! He is also the proud child of an artist and we discussed the various pieces and what we liked and didn't like. Even the Roleskis showed up. I haven't seen them in about 10 years so I chatted with Mark (c?) For a few minutes.
I made sure to take pictures of everything (but now I need to figure out how to put my picasa album in my post - which might require a computer and not just my smart phone, which means you have to wait until tomorrow)
After the show Caseyman, Aimee and Alex and I went out to a late lunch/early dinner at Blanco in La Encantada. It was very good and i recommend the ceviche. We walked around the mall and had great time catching up!
Casey and Aimee say hello (although they really never check the blogs so I told them I would say they said "f*** off" because they would never read this. Don't worry, they laughed)
I will post some photos here but wait for the album later
CONGRATS MOM!!!
