 Monday : wisdom teeth and local events! at 10:41 AM I want to start off by giving a hearty thank you to to uncommon grounds, now known as cafe mergot, for the wonderful benefit party for my wisdom teeth. They were able to raise a good amount of funds! After lots of phone calls and research it looks like i will going to salt lake to get it done. I had an appointment with a local dentist for Tuesday but after talking to them again it turns out it's a lot more than i can afford. There is a place in SLC called DR.wisdom teeth and it is a clinic that ONLY does wisdom teeth. they have the best prices i have ever seen: $900 for all 4 or $800 for 2. Since it is only a $100 difference i am shooting for all 4. I need Almost $700 more and i am hoping i can come up with some rad ideas to raise it fast because the discomfort of rebellious impacted wisdom teeth is almost as fun as falling face first down metal bleachers, yea i have had that happen to me... NOT fun. If anyone had some fun ideas please by all means comment with them.

My love affair with my bike and really cute dogs at 12:00 AM OH how I love to bike! the wind in my hair, the sun on my shoulders and the ability to make abrupt turns into gardens and yard sales without killing a pedestrian or a cat. Yes, i love my bike i call her Lucy and i treat her well. Lucy is a beautiful red Fuji track SE with a 43CM frame, 650C wheels, a brooks saddle shaped to my bum, a black star top tube cover, bmx brakes and a sweet wicker basket. It's as if it was made just for me.When i first got it, i was a bike messenger and poor Lucy endured long work hours and quite a bit of abuse including more than one hit and run out of a parking garage, but she trudged on. I rode this bike through pregnancies, in the rain, to and from work, on bike trips and on daily errands and it has still stayed strong for over 5 years! Nowadays it tows around my daughter and picks up goat heads and hauls my groceries. throughout the years i have probably put thousands of miles on this loyal bike. Yes, many bikes may be better suited for her job, but Lucy is my one and only. Why am i boring you to tears with the details of my dear Lucy? well, its because i want YOU to ride a bike and fall in love with cycling as well. Today is a special day and i am excited about this local event and i do hope you come and join me at the Road Respect Rally to encourage respect among Cyclists and Drivers. At 10:30 am meet at the Ogden Amphitheater Entrance 343 E. 25th St. There will be a Mayoral Proclamation, FREE helmets until they run out, FREE Creamies (which is apparently soft serve ice cream, creamies HA!) , A Bike Rodeo, Adult sized big wheels, A prize wheel, AND Ogden Bicycle Collective is making Road Respect patches. come out and enjoy the fresh air and make some new friends!

givaway sponsors part 3 at 10:27 AMMy staycation is over, my bestie has flown back to Cali and it time to get back into the regular daily grind. I miss her already but our time together was awesome. Last night was her final night and we spent it adventuring in the blizzard to eat cupcakes and tacos with my daughter , dancing at Mojos and trying some new drinks at kamikazes. Wearing heels in the snow is no easy feat but it definitely gave us some hilarious memories to look back on. 
Mojos is such an amazing space and resource for the Ogden community. If you haven't been there yet PLEASE go now! I'm so excited about the indie Ogden giveaway and the amazing businesses that have volunteered to be a part of it. It's seriously magical and if you haven't entered yet, what are you waiting for? Our last 2 sponsors are a couple of my favorite places to eat and get coffee in Ogden. First up is Ground for coffee on historic 25Th. This place has a yoga studio, comfy chairs and cute local art. The ladies that were working that day were so sweet and nice that i didn't want to leave. The convenient to me location on Harrison has a large sitting area and a cozy couch area with lots of books and outdoor seating. Both locations are run by uber cool moms which is incredibly awesome. Grounds for coffee is a local franchise, giving locals the opportunity to own their own business. They have been around since 1991 and are super involved locally and like to encourage patrons to support local businesses. The coffee is excellent and they have yummy snacks too, i love their parfaits. 
Last but certainly not least is Rovalis. Rovali's Ristorante Italiano is a family owned and operated restaurant established in December 2006. This place has the best mozzarella sticks and ravioli and they also sell pasta dinner supplies. Recently i bought their pasta and it was incredible, the pasta was giant and full of flavor. They have great weekly specials and you can often catch a great giveaway on their facebook.

Alison Compton is an amazing hairstylist who lives in Ogden with her boyfriend Rody and dog indie. She works at salon Nouveau and loves working with hair but she also loves to run and is training for the 2011 Ogden marathon. Alison has been styling hair since 2003 and her favorite part of being a hair stylist is color. One of my biggest rules when getting my hair styled is the stylist MUST have great hair and Alison's hair is amazing! Check out her website and visit her at salon Nouveau for a new look!  Our second grand prize is sponsored by Rachael Blackman Collins. this woman is amazing and can do it all. she has run a marathon, is a mother of 4 boys, is a photographer, goes to school AND she has recently started the Starr foundation.

She believes our elderly are too often ignored and forgotten and deserve to feel loved and beautiful. Her foundation is so inspiring and i encourage you all to get involved.If you interested email her at lifeasrach@gmail.com.  Id also like to share a few pics of my ride on the trolley. It was so nice to be able to get a ride around downtown with my hands full of bags and babies. It was a pretty fun ride and my daughter really dug it so if your downtown check it out.
