Well that night of Star Wars in Concert was great.. at least for me I enjoyed every minute of it just wish I had gotten to choose my seats... not sure I like how Ticket master online does tickets.
I prefer to sit on the balcony left for orchestra so I can watch the percussion not that front row floor seats are not great they just make it hard to see the percussionists.
Any way the concert was amazing... Jax liked it I think.. he was a bit annoyed by the loud sounds affects such as Fire shooting from the front of the stage and the Steamed air bursts.. and the Smoke irritated his eyes. He is definitely not a front row concert person.. I am sad that he didn't have as much fun as I had hoped he would have.
I do know he enjoyed the train ride there :)
Since then all I have done is work it seems each Saturday I log in from home for at least 4 hours. UG!!!
Next week i am excited as my Sister Juanita is coming down Tuesday Night so that Wednesday afternoon we can go to the Transiberian Christmas Concert downtown!
http://www.trans-siberian.com for more information:
She is willing to do Thanksgiving with me which is pretty funny since my Thanksgiving is normally through the kindness of others lol.
Maybe we can do a Charlie Brown Thanskgiving Dinner!:

Updates??? what is an update?
Well as I was reading through my email from dad I saw this and i quote, "Angel you haven't written anything in your blog since you took your vacation. How about bringing it up to date"
So let me do it as briefly as possible.
Labor day weekend... Went to see Cambria get baptized and confirmed, while there I fell in love with Serendipity CORN that Paul's parents grow. I must have had 4 cobs while there maybe 5 and then the packed me a to go bag of Cooked corn for the drive to St. George. YUMMY!
I drove to SLC picked up my dog Puddi and some food and stuff for him along with the tablet PC I got working for my Mom and headed down for a quick weekend trip. It was fun we all had a good time and mom got to play on her tablet pc, I hooked it up with her geneology stuff and some games she could play when she was stuck in bed. I also took them down a Tv I didn't use anymore for the bedroom. Puddi and Eti had a good time and I think Dad and mom did too :)
Puddi still wants to go home the minute we get there but he was less anxious and he didn't get
Movies worth seeing:
Since my last blog post...
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.... I took my friend Tom Davis and his family and Jamie and her boys to this, we all had a laugh here and there and the kids liked the idea of snow being Ice Cream.
Next up to see in theaters if I feel the need:
the Gamer ( already out)
Fame (already out)
Vampire's assistant out on the 23rd of October
Christmas Carol in 3D (nov)
Out on DVD this month:
Transformer 2
Battle Star Galatica "the plan"
Ice Age 3
What I have been up to? Getting sick good last weekend and still feeling odd here and there...
UTI which i am finally getting looked at... yea I put it off.
A cavity fell out a while back and I am considering seeing a dentist within the month... or so HAHA I hate Dentists... nothing against them per say just very much hate the drill and the smell.
This week I am taking Jax to the Star Wars in Concert at the Energy Solutions arena, I wanted to go and thought to myself who would really enjoy this... and the first name that came out was Jax.. now I am not sure how he will feel about it but its orchestral performance of all the Star Wars music which is some of the most well known scores out there. I have not been to a symphony concert since returning to SLC and maybe now if possible I can pick an event here and there and get someone to go with me.
Star Wars in Concert
I hopefully will remember to write about the Star Wars in Concert afterwards and maybe get Jax's feelings about it too :)

lazy days of summer!
I haven't had a week off in over 5 years I think.. the last time I did it I moved from my apartment on 64 near fashion place mall to my home this condo.
I have been so lazy this week its not even funny... i have done some laundry, dishes and cleaned my guest bathroom, vaccumed, exercised abit each day and did karate...
I have been taking lessons from Puddi he knows how to releax... right now he is laying on his back on the futon just sleeping blissfully, he is a good one to learn from he holds no grudges although i think he does get pissed at me when i make him wear his halty or don't let him have the last bight of PB and J.
Other than just doing some cleaning i am trying to keep from spending money and that is hard in itself since I like my toys... however the summer Birthday schedule is coming to and end and I need to save up for the holidays...
other than that I am enjoying our early fall weather :)

Trevan and our Weekend... or Puddi gets gas
So I had Trevan for 3 days this last weekend it was his and my time together.
We have not had a chance to do just a Trevan and Angel weekend yet and this was a great time to do it.
He came over Early Friday morning still in his pajamas, so we got dressed and headed out to the dog park to let Puddi run around and have a bit of fun.
After which Trevan and I went to IHOP for some breakfast, I had the pancake platter and coffee and he had some french fries.
We then went home, he started to follow puddi everywhere and even laid on him just to make Puddi do is low voiced growl. Poor Puddi! Trevan laid down for a quick nap and when he woke up we went to Wheeler Farm to see the animals, We both liked the goats they were so loving and precious, the pigs were very disgusting and the horses were great! We got to pet all the animals including a well endowed Male sheep.
We took a wagon ride to see the entire farm area and then Trevan got to rid a pony!
He really was enjoying the day at the farm, we fed some ducks and geese and he wanted to keep the bunnies for his own lol.
He also had to try on the cowboy hats that they had for sale there.
We left the farm ready for some lunch so we stopped at McDonalds and had a hamburger, fries and some Drink.
We then headed over to the SLC Living Aquarium for fishy fun!
Here is a few of the pictures we took!
if you haven't gone there its a good deal and the yearly price is a steal!
We then went home and played with some toys and watched some cartoons till he fell asleep.
Day 2:
Puddi gets the farts... my poor dog is the best even when he is sick he just lets things fall as they may. I told Trevan we had to let puddi be today and not bother him because he was not feeling good. Trevan was pretty good about it too.
We took puddi outside around the condo area for a walk and then Trevan and I went to Johanna's Kitchen for some Eggs and Toast.
He sat back at the Counter with me and got to see all the goings on of a Diner.
We then went home and waited to hear from Leslie regarding swimming or movie... she called and said movie at the Walker Cinemas in Perry Utah. So we goofed off till it was time to go.
Trevan and I gathered up the gifts we got for the other kids and headed up. We went to see Ice Age 3 and it was going good till I got a bit of a gastro-intenstinal issue where I had to get up and go to the bathroom 4 times during the movie, and once time I just took Gunner out in the lobby so he could run around and have some fun.
Finally the movie was over and I gave out the gifts then headed back home hoping to make it there with no pit stops. I did :) trevan got a bit anxious around Ogden asking for his mom and wanting to go home and I talked him out of it. We got home and watched Spiderman cartoons and Avatar till bed time.
Sunday we woke up took puddi for a short walk and then had some cereal. We also walked over to the swing set to swing while puddi sat in the sun and had fun. Trevan was a bit sqeamish of the slide because it was damp at the bottom from the morning watering but worked on figuring out how to swing. I would show him and he would try and at one point he almost had it.
We took puddi for a ride and then headed home. We did laundry cleaning all of Trevan's clothes he had worn so they would be clean, we got Jax's present ready and I started gathering up some of the things I had for Jamie around my place.
When his mom finally got there Trevan was very happy to see her. They grabbed all the stuff and headed home.
Thanks for a fun Weekend Trevan!

Under the Kitchen Sink....
Well as some of you know this week my Garbage disposal after i don't know how many years of suffering in its sickly way decided to commit Disposal Suicide, it broke its neck and plummeted to the the stack of Paper towels I had stored under the sink...
I found this out oddly not by the sound of its suicidal fall but from the fact that when I went to dump Puddi's day old water down the sink and hear a splashing sound.
Alas it was suffering and it needed to be at peace...
Well Saturday I started to clean out the stuff under the sink.
Sunday I took out my tools and began the process of disconnecting any life support it may have had... the first thing I noticed was when i removed the dishwasher connection the rubber hose broke off due to the amount of corrossion in the fitting area... was the plug still there?
Then when I disconnected the power cord and the Drain pipe and pulled it out what a wonderous smell I discovered.. and upon looking into the now silent mouth I saw more corrosive goo all over and quickly deposited in a Cardboard box to take to Home depot to get its replacement.
My younger brother Joe came over as I was heading to HD for the garbage disposal to help install the new one.
When I got home and he got under the sink, this is basically the jist of the conversation we had:
[Angel]can we get rid of the non-functioning filtered tap that is just sitting there doing absolutely nothing? [Joe] sure
[Angel] what do you think should we replace the faucet now while we can get to it easy?
[Joe] yea that would make sense to do it now, let me disconnect the old one and you can take to to make sure the connectors match up.
So We pulled out the junk and I jumped in my Car for a second trip to Home Depot
Come back home to find Joe using the Plumbers tape to get ready to hook up the new faucet and plumbers puddy to seal the new sink insert for the Garbage disposal.
I had removed the Original connection to the sink so I had to explain the way it all hooked up again and told him I had found it on the internet and asked if he wanted to watch it.. He of course declined. He had also already wired the plug onto the new unit as well.
So he got under the sink and we set up my new faucet with the spray extension which I really like :)
then when we were getting ready to put the Garbage Disposal on I noticed the drain pipe from the new one was half the length of the original one and said that is not going to fit, he said it should be ok till he got under and then said nope you are going to need to see if they have a longer one or get an extension.
So off again in my car to Home depot for trip #3....
Now Joe and I have done many things as well as my Friend Tyler and Tom to fix up my condo... and it seems that through out this process I can never replace one thing or a section of things without 3 trips to Home Depot... whether its a toilet poorly setup requiring a new ring for the floor mount or 3 wax circles due to the bad floor mounts or a new connection for the leaky sink connectors in the guest bathroom its always a 3 trip home fix up!
Well finally it was all connected and we turned the water on to find a quiet disposal and a nice new faucet to make the kitchen just a bit better.
Next on the List of Fix up for the Kitchen:
Stove replacement
Trash Compactor removal/replace??? not sure yet
Dishwasher replacement.
The air conditioner condensor needs to be replaced and someone to check the vent leading to the 2nd room where no COOL air ever really gets.
incase you want to see how to replace a Garbage Disposal here is the handy dandy site I watched!

Saturday or the Day Puddi decided to go home
Well after a long night of little sleep, I got up with Puddi early Saturday to go to the Dog park with Dad and Eti.
I drove over to dad's with chuck so he could go for a run, Dad and I spent a good hour at the park.
We drove back to their trailer and relaxed while waiting for Chuck to head back to the hotel, shower and grab Debbie and Juanita so we could all go to breakfast.
Headed over to Ihop after they got there, Puddi and Eti left alone at mom and dad's with some treats to keep them busy.
I always make sure to get some bacon for puddi with my breakfast so he can have a nice breakfast too. After breakfast we went back to mom and dads and just relaxed for abit. I took Juanita for a bit to the Mall near their house to get help for her G1 phone. On the way back I saw a Pollo Loco and called dad to see if everyone would be ok with chicken for lunch. So I brought back sodas and Chicken.
I ate on the deck wiht the dogs giving both Eti and Puddi some good old Chicken and a couple chicken bones.
After Lunch we kids headed back to the hotel so mom and dad could rest, and just hung out having fun, Debbie and Chuck went to the pool to get some tanning and relax while I laid on the bed and played with Puddi in the room.
We decided to go to Mongolian BB1 for dinner and so I put puddi in his crate in the hotel hoping it would make him feel a bit better at being left behind. I also left him a good treat :)
Dinner was delicious and on the way back to the hotel we all stopped at various places for a soda.
Back at the hotel we tried to watch Transformers II but it was obvious to me that it was too confusing for mom and dad, besides Mom was tired and I knew she needed to lay down for some rest. We decided to watch some Star Wars specials after they left "family guy" and "Robot Chicken episode II" About the time we started to get a bit sleepy the fire works started outside.
So I took puddi out so he could see what was going on, of course he loves fireworks he lives with a drummer.
Went in after a good fireworks show from two locations and fell asleep.
Sunday morning same old thing up to park with Eti, but before I left I packed up all my stuff and put it in the car. I then headed over to mom and dad's with Puddi so he could hang in peace while I ate. Then we all met at ihop for breakfast and enjoyed each other's company. We went back to mom and dad's and after a bit Puddi was going to the door ready to head home and so I left.
I had a great time even if it was hot and enjoyed hanging with mom and dad and chuck and Debbie and Juanita My Technically challenged Family!

4th of July weekend... or Puddi's terrible trip day 1!
Chuck and Debbie decided it would be fun for us all to go down to St. George on the 4th of July weekend... Juanita was coming and so I said yep sounds fun.
And well it did for the most part except the thought HOTTER than HELL kept going through my head lol.
I packed up early Friday morning and started grabbing Puddi's things he was a bit anxious so I took him to the dog park for about a half hour, then we stopped and got gas, checked my Oil and grabbed our favorite breakfast Bagles. Hopped in the car and headed out.
This trip was different in that Chuck and Debbi and Juanita all drove down together and kept calling me about the stops and the journey! for me its about getting there and fast lol.
I stopped 2 times once in Filmore I think to see them eating frozen yogurt or something in a cone and puddi got to walk around with chuck for a bit, (his alpha male!) then I jumped back on the road and proceeded to head on down the road, they called me from Beaver and I said I wouldn't be stopping there but at a rest stop just north of the TA Truck stop where a dog run was for puddi.
I did stop at the rest stop and Puddi ran about for a bit and did his thing and then I loaded up and headed out again, behind me I though I had seen Chuck's car and I was right however as they existed the truck stop they got a flat and I didn't which I thank god for since having puddi in the car would have made changing the flat a bit tricky since he normally rides on top of the donut and tools in the back. His barrier that keeps him back there is a b..tch to get out as well.
They changed the tire and then headed on to Cedar city to get it repaired I told them have fun with their journey and I would see them at Mom and Dad's.
I got to Mom and Dad's and puddi and eti had a blast, they are good together and I know dad and I enjoy their crazy antics. Dad needed to take mom to her hair appointment so I climbed in the van with puddi and after dropping mom off we all went to the new dog park in St. George area.
I have been there many times but still keep forgetting to pay attention so I know how to drive there myself lol.
the heat was hot and all but not bad there, however they have a hose to water the dogs and I gave puddi a good spray so he could stay cool.
I tried to so some karate in the shade and went for an extended Iron horse stance and again pulled my hamstring abit. OWWWW!
after hanging for an hour and yes puddi dried off in that time we grabbed mom and headed back to the Trailer. Finally Chuck and Debbi and Juanita got there and We decided puddi would stay at Mom and Dad's trailer with Mom and Dad, Eti and Juanita while I went with Chuck and Debbie to the hotel to drop off all the stuff and check in. I paid for Puddi and an Extra Cot so that we would be comfortable and all.
It was decided that Chuck and Debbi and I would meet Mom and Dad and Juanita at Chuck O Rama's for Dinner after we were all settled in. Mind you it didn't take long for me to get out all the electronics I have and started to hook up my Western Digital HD Media Player to the TV. (http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?DriveID=572)
This is where the story gets insanely funny... well at least for me since I was there...
This electronic device acts as a conduit to a TV so I can access Movies (.iso) and other shows (avi, divx, wma etc) Photos, and MP3's from an external Hard drive thus NO CD/DVD to carry around just the Media Player and a few cables and My Hard drive. I love it as I use it at home in the living room to watch any TV show I like with no Commercials at all!
Well upon hooking it all up I realized I had forgotten the remote control and there is no way to control it without a remote. Well Debbie could see the Device on the TV since we had changed the TV to input and there it was the UI and all ready to use except no remote. Well she said it had to have a way to work without the remote and proceeded to touch the tv screen on the icons and then type on the hard drive and on the actual device, and since it didn't work for her Chuck felt if he did the exact same thing it would work for him! I was just laughing so hard because even though yes it would be nice that the device had the ability to change a regular CRT TV to a touch screen device alas it didn't have that technology. Oh my gosh we decided then that yes I was a member of Technology Illiterate Family who loved the technology I brought to there lives but had no idea what to do with it most the time.
Any way I decided to go to Best Buy site to see if they had the WD Media Player and they did so I dropped by after dinner with juanita on the way back to the Hotel and grabbed one and bought it to return after the trip was over, just so I could use the remote control!
Mom and Dad then hung out at the hotel which was a bit humid with so many peeps after going to their house to grab puddi with Debbi and Chuck. Puddi was upset at me and yes I needed to give him all my attention in the hotel that night, he never left my side ever!
Seems I didn't have a good choice of Movies on the hard drive this time since they were things I enjoyed but Mom and Dad didn't find any of the titles good we tried a bit of Last Chance Harvey but the sound on the tv was horrible or the Rip of the ISO and it was hard to follow. We then tried InkHeart which wasn't too bad for me. During this time however Puddi started to Fart, because he had a sour stomach and was so upset about being left at Mom and Dad's while I went to the hotel. And they were so potent made your eyes water a bit. Very very sad night for puddi... I felt bad for him. Mom and Dad finally left for home (around 9 pm) and we didn't finish the movie because really it was very hard to hear. After mom and dad left We all got ready for sleep and watched "So you think you can Dance" that I had downloaded prior to heading to St. George. They were all amazed at the picture and the fact there was 0 Commercials lol.
I slept on a sliver of the cot with Puddi and Chuck and Debbi in the bed next to my cot and juanita on the bed closest to the Bathroom I slept horribly since Puddi was taking all the cot and all the blankets but we all survived our first day of the weekend. Thinking back on it I probably should have slept at Mom and Dad's since puddi might have been a bit more relaxed since he is familiar with the floor and my Blow up mattress I keep there for Christmas. But it was so funny in the hotel that I would have missed that part of the JOURNEY!
And well it did for the most part except the thought HOTTER than HELL kept going through my head lol.
I packed up early Friday morning and started grabbing Puddi's things he was a bit anxious so I took him to the dog park for about a half hour, then we stopped and got gas, checked my Oil and grabbed our favorite breakfast Bagles. Hopped in the car and headed out.
This trip was different in that Chuck and Debbi and Juanita all drove down together and kept calling me about the stops and the journey! for me its about getting there and fast lol.
I stopped 2 times once in Filmore I think to see them eating frozen yogurt or something in a cone and puddi got to walk around with chuck for a bit, (his alpha male!) then I jumped back on the road and proceeded to head on down the road, they called me from Beaver and I said I wouldn't be stopping there but at a rest stop just north of the TA Truck stop where a dog run was for puddi.
I did stop at the rest stop and Puddi ran about for a bit and did his thing and then I loaded up and headed out again, behind me I though I had seen Chuck's car and I was right however as they existed the truck stop they got a flat and I didn't which I thank god for since having puddi in the car would have made changing the flat a bit tricky since he normally rides on top of the donut and tools in the back. His barrier that keeps him back there is a b..tch to get out as well.
They changed the tire and then headed on to Cedar city to get it repaired I told them have fun with their journey and I would see them at Mom and Dad's.
I got to Mom and Dad's and puddi and eti had a blast, they are good together and I know dad and I enjoy their crazy antics. Dad needed to take mom to her hair appointment so I climbed in the van with puddi and after dropping mom off we all went to the new dog park in St. George area.
I have been there many times but still keep forgetting to pay attention so I know how to drive there myself lol.
the heat was hot and all but not bad there, however they have a hose to water the dogs and I gave puddi a good spray so he could stay cool.
I tried to so some karate in the shade and went for an extended Iron horse stance and again pulled my hamstring abit. OWWWW!
after hanging for an hour and yes puddi dried off in that time we grabbed mom and headed back to the Trailer. Finally Chuck and Debbi and Juanita got there and We decided puddi would stay at Mom and Dad's trailer with Mom and Dad, Eti and Juanita while I went with Chuck and Debbie to the hotel to drop off all the stuff and check in. I paid for Puddi and an Extra Cot so that we would be comfortable and all.
It was decided that Chuck and Debbi and I would meet Mom and Dad and Juanita at Chuck O Rama's for Dinner after we were all settled in. Mind you it didn't take long for me to get out all the electronics I have and started to hook up my Western Digital HD Media Player to the TV. (http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?DriveID=572)
This is where the story gets insanely funny... well at least for me since I was there...
This electronic device acts as a conduit to a TV so I can access Movies (.iso) and other shows (avi, divx, wma etc) Photos, and MP3's from an external Hard drive thus NO CD/DVD to carry around just the Media Player and a few cables and My Hard drive. I love it as I use it at home in the living room to watch any TV show I like with no Commercials at all!
Well upon hooking it all up I realized I had forgotten the remote control and there is no way to control it without a remote. Well Debbie could see the Device on the TV since we had changed the TV to input and there it was the UI and all ready to use except no remote. Well she said it had to have a way to work without the remote and proceeded to touch the tv screen on the icons and then type on the hard drive and on the actual device, and since it didn't work for her Chuck felt if he did the exact same thing it would work for him! I was just laughing so hard because even though yes it would be nice that the device had the ability to change a regular CRT TV to a touch screen device alas it didn't have that technology. Oh my gosh we decided then that yes I was a member of Technology Illiterate Family who loved the technology I brought to there lives but had no idea what to do with it most the time.
Any way I decided to go to Best Buy site to see if they had the WD Media Player and they did so I dropped by after dinner with juanita on the way back to the Hotel and grabbed one and bought it to return after the trip was over, just so I could use the remote control!
Mom and Dad then hung out at the hotel which was a bit humid with so many peeps after going to their house to grab puddi with Debbi and Chuck. Puddi was upset at me and yes I needed to give him all my attention in the hotel that night, he never left my side ever!
Seems I didn't have a good choice of Movies on the hard drive this time since they were things I enjoyed but Mom and Dad didn't find any of the titles good we tried a bit of Last Chance Harvey but the sound on the tv was horrible or the Rip of the ISO and it was hard to follow. We then tried InkHeart which wasn't too bad for me. During this time however Puddi started to Fart, because he had a sour stomach and was so upset about being left at Mom and Dad's while I went to the hotel. And they were so potent made your eyes water a bit. Very very sad night for puddi... I felt bad for him. Mom and Dad finally left for home (around 9 pm) and we didn't finish the movie because really it was very hard to hear. After mom and dad left We all got ready for sleep and watched "So you think you can Dance" that I had downloaded prior to heading to St. George.
