What better way to spend Halloween?
Let me first tell you....I am super unskilled at dancing. I have NO rhythm at all I am not joking when I say that I can't clap.
So my friend brings just dance over and I cave. 1. Because I was curious 2. I knew I was in serious need of calorie burning an realllly didn't want to run. 3. Kicks and giggles
So in the game system it goes.....and while I felt like I spent a whole lotta time shaking the remote I was a lot of fun...mayyyyybe I need to upgrade our system to something cool that recognizes motion...and do this again....I would so lose!

Dinner out with relatives
Ok this sounds totally lame. I have some seriously great relatives. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, lots if fantastic ones in the bunch, and others I wish I knew better. Being an only child my cousins all around were probably the closest thing I have ever had to siblings. As much as I enjoy my relatives I don't see ANY if them as much as I would like. Honestly we are spread in multiple time zones and a lot of states, tragic. When we do get together it is usually a huge gathering with lots of food etc. on a major holiday.
Until this most recent adventure I had never planned an adventure and met my cousins somewhere for kicks and giggles. Because I do enjoy my relatives I was sure to let them know when I was north in their neck of the woods. I actually was hoping to spend more time with them, but life and stress got in the way. Even considering this we were still able to get together and grab a meal. It is tragic really that you forget how much fun you can have with family, and I don't know when I became the kind is adult that wants to hang out with relatives over so many other options, but I did. It helps that I have so many cousins, and that as we have grown up I can consider a large chunk of them friends, even if we aren't hanging out or talking on a regular basis.
So here's to you all, the ones I just saw and all the rest, the siblings I never had.

Girls weekend
So for those of you that don't know me, I am a bit of a homebody. I cut vacation short so I can be home for a day to relax. I love relaxing at home, being home, and even some household chores.
So leaving town or a vacation for me is a big deal, honestly there are times that I would just rather be home. It is so much more relaxing to scrub the house from top to bottom and then spend a weekend lounging around.
But as I have gotten older and friends have moved away that has changed. Would I still like to sit a home? Yes. But I also want to see my friends. Enter girls weekend, when you are 6 hours from friends what is a good solution? Meet in the middle. Face it where I live is boring to visit an I embrace that.
So myself and 2 friends met halfway and spent the weekend. It was an adventure, and had lots of not sitting around. I had never jus taken a weekend with the girls before but a new experience worth trying again.

Melting pot
A few years ago I heard about this place. As soon as I heard it existed and consisted of fondue I felt the need to go there. A year and a half ago I noticed one down the street from a hotel we were at up north....I was SP EXCITED words really cannot describe it. We didn't get a chance to go because of a variety of reasons but I never forgot that it wa there. And it looked amazing.
So this weekend for girls' weekend it was the ONLY thing that I cared about doing. (Other than am coffee) it HAD to happen. An it did!
So the prices were a little expensive, but for the fondue experience it was worth it. And we decided to go with a cheese option and a chocolate dessert option.
The cheesy wonder of amazingness was literally amazing. And the chocolate was as well! You are missing out on life! They bring you whatever dipping items we needed. It was perfection.

Earthquake
It doesn't happen very often....or in my case never. We had a light earthquake a couple weeks ago. It just happens that I was up late and awake. Felt my first earthquake and wondered why my bed was moving.
Chocolate covered cricket
I should have known it would come to something like this. In Sacramento the girls and I stopped at a candy shop. As soon as the guy behind the counter started passing out chocolate covered crickets I knew I was doomed. They made me. It was minty.
