Ligers really do exist!

And these charms are so lovely. I want them all.

I have been sleepy all day today. I guess that's what I get for going out for an after work drink with work friends. This was followed by a Friday night beverage with my sister Becki, which was followed by cheese fries and a beer with my honey Brandon. The after work "drink" turned into an all-night, out-till-midnight event.

Zzzz.

It's fun when Becki and I hang out. Seems like now more than ever in our life, people who are around us 2 seconds immediately point out that we must be sisters. It's not so much that we look alike- although our smiles and eyes are probably really alike- but they proclaim that our voices and mannerisms are exactly the same. When Sarah, Katie, and Tracie visited Colorado a year ago, we all went out for sushi and we played the "close your eyes and try to guess if it's Nicki or Becki" game. Everyone would close their eyes, and either me or Becki would say a phrase, and everyone would guess. We managed to trick them quite a few times.

Did anyone catch the Superbowl Shuffle skit on SNL last weekend, or am I the only person who still watches Saturday Night Live on a regular basis? It was so funny, but mostly because I was big on taking VHS tapes and recording my favorite videos and shows when I was little. I had recorded the Superbowl Shuffle video, and must have watched it hundreds of times. To this day, I know all the words, and am able to anticipate what the Chicago Bears player is going to do next (aaaaaand William "Refrigerator" Perry now puts his hands up in the air and pumps them up and down to the music-- NOW!). I still have the original VHS tape, and since there was nothing on any of my 3 1/2 channels tonight, I decided that it would be fun to watch the Superbowl Shuffle recording tonight. I discovered that the tape also has the Walk Like an Egyptian video, and 1/2 of the original Karate Kid movie. Ahh, flashbacks to the 80's. I love it.
