Unless you live under a rock in the blogosphere, you know my friend Colleen and you know how she is quite the globe trotter (and not of the basketball variety, either). I'm so jealous of all of the wonderful places she gets to visit and her next destination is no exception. Since I know where she's going and am thus not eligible for her contest, I will offer you one of her clues. If you can guess where she's going on her vacation, you can win something cool!

The prizes:
1st Prize - a $50 Travelocity Gift Card, and a souvenir from her trip!
2nd Prize - a $25 Travelocity Gift Card, and a souvenir from her trip!
3rd, 4th, and 5th Prize - a souvenir from her trip!

So, let's get on with it —

Clue #14:
The name of this district in the town Colleen is visiting may cause you to want to STOP walking though it, but Sting & Roxanne know that "You don't have to sell your body to the night"!

(Thanks, Colleen, now I'm going to that song stuck in my head all day!)

In addition my my clue, you can find links to the previous thirteen clues over at Colleen's site. Think you know? Head over to her site and follow the directions to enter (meaning DO NOT LEAVE GUESSES IN THE COMMENTS OF THIS OR ANY OTHER SITE!).

Good luck, dear readers and safe journey, Colleen!

So, Mike has rib contusions I think he said. He's on Vicodin and acting rather goofy. I wonder if I was acting that weird when I was on it. I know I certainly didn't like the feeling. He and Marcus stopped by for a short bit to bring me my nuggets and to get his credit card so they could go buy stuff. I know they're going to Oak Express and CompUsa.

I hope he heals up soon. They've got a Pikes Peak hike scheduled for August 11th.

This is going to be a little quick post because I'm getting a little behind reading all the health related information sites while researching my topics. I had really intended to get this all researched in advance, but stupid work and RSS feed problems got in my way this week. I'm also trying to see what some of the other bloggers are up to. That was the good thing about blogging on the B schedule last year. I cruised around all the other sites and then concentrated on my own blogging later.

Mike and Marcus are usually off mountain biking together but last Saturday Mike took a pretty bad tumble and screwed up his ribs or something. They're having lunch at McDonalds and are supposed to bring me back some nuggets. Not a great lunch since I've been talking about eating healthier, but hey, if you're watching my cam, you'll see I just ate an apple.

Mmmmm...nuggets.

The theme this month over on the FlyLady site has been Random Acts of Kindness. Yesterday, I was the recipient of such an act. Collen from Simple Kind of Life gifted me a premium membership to a board to which we both belong. When I found out, I was so touched that the tears started to flow! Thank you, Colleen!

Tonight is the annual art show at my old school, Platt College. Some of my old friends should be there as well as most of the staff that I loved so dearly! I'm so glad I found a job this week because I was seriously contemplating not going if I was still unemployed. I didn't really want to answer the question of what I was doing now by saying, "Nothing, I'm unemployed." Especially if I happen to run into that guy that I shared an office with at my last job (he's still a student there). I have a job in the field now and as soon as I'm full time, all will be good.

Well, guess I'd better go get ready and go!
