90's flash back

I remember thinking punch fountains were really cool when I was five-years old and was trying to entertain myself at weddings. But really, when was the last time you saw one of these?

pictures don't do it justice

I spent new years with my grandparents this year and since my papa started falling asleep at 9:30 we decided to countdown for new years at 10. We were all sitting in the living room waiting and we had 20 seconds left on the clock. Papa grabbed the bell off the bookshelf that he got from his 1st grade teacher ( mind you...he's 91) He started ringing the bell and dancing around and all I had was my iphone to take pictures. If you know my papa, you can appreciate these :)

3. running into Caitlin and Bekah on floor 3 of the Adam's Mark and Emily in the lobby
4. finding out the Emily got a tivo for christmas.
5. avoiding a heinous sinus infection through a nasty home remedy that I will call a "sinus rinse"
6. Anthropologie gave me 15% off for my birthday :)
7. rearranging furniture with Michelle and trying to make a purple couch look good until we get a kitchen table... and finding the whole experience really funny.
8. enjoying some time in my favorite places in boulder before i leave for 5 weeks!...
9. not having a cavity.
10. having my meter run out and not getting a ticket this time. pure mercy
