Henry Diltz

This weekend marks the the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock. Woodstock was held in Bethel, NY from August 15-17, 1969.

This morning on my drive to work, I listened to a short interview with Henry Diltz. Henry was the official on-stage photographer for the festival. Let his photos be your inspiration (to party woodstock style) this weekend.

Ed and Farrah are sooo pissed!

The power of 3's is in effect.

Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson all passed away this week. Sad new across the board.

I don't mean to sound cold or insensitive, but the Michael Jackson I loved died a long, long time ago.

Cute kiddo Michael

King of Pop-Thirller Michael

Who's this creepy guy?

We're Goin' Places

Shortly after Abe and I started dating, I had a vision, an epiphany if you will...

I can't tell you what I saw, I've never even told him what I saw. The vision showed me something beautiful about our future together. All I could tell him at that moment was "we're goin' places."

And over the past 5 years and 5 months, to many places we have gone.

In no particular order, here is the list:

Las Vegas
New York
Los Angeles
San Francisco
Big Sur
Chicago
Miami
Austin, TX
Honolulu
Maui
Cabo San Lucas
Mazatlan
Puerto Vallarta
St. John, USVI
St. Thomas, USVI
Turks and Caicos
Santa Fe, NM
Aspen, CO
Breckenridge, CO
Park City, UT
Telluride, CO
Bahamas
San Juan, PR
Disneyland :D

Did I forget any?

15 years ago

February 20, 1967 – April 5, 1994

Sunday marks the 15th anniversary of Kurt Cobains death.

I was 13 when he killed himself. Nirvana was HUGE! I loved Nirvana, still do. I was in the car with my parents and a friend. We had the radio on and I remember the DJ saying that Kurt Cobain had been found dead. My heart broke. I can't believe it has been 15 years.


PS~ Who would have thought Dave Grohl would be the breakout star? He is wildly talented and I'm so happy that he has had so much success.

Good Bye 2008

Dear 2008,

You were a GREAT year! You provided me so many wonderful adventures and opportunities. I truly believe that I lived you to the fullest and I hope to do the same in 2009.

Oh 2008, don't be jealous...you will be almost impossible to beat. You gave me Telluride, Chicago, OPRAH, Breckenridge, Las Vegas, DIAMONDS, a Mexican Riviera Cruise, Hermes and a new amazing house. Not to mention the important stuff like good health, happiness, love and success for pretty much everyone close to me.

2008 you rocked!

Love You Forever,
Emily

Blog Stealer

I stole this post, verbatim from Lindsay.

I was able to get together with my BF's from home, Emily and Melissa. It's always so wonderful to see them, if only for a few hours. We celebrated Melissa's engagement, Em's new home and me just being there! Miss you girls!
~I thought it was interesting that our initials spelt ELM...Elm wood is valued for its interlocking grain, and consequent resistance to splitting...we have been friends for over 17 years now, so I guess we are like an Elm!

Huh- isn't that interesting! We are like Elm. And 17 years of friendship...that means we met when we were 4 years old! (wink)
