I love this blog, but I am ready to try something new. It's not the blog, it's me, and I have been <strong>really</strong> busy lately. <br /><br />I have teamed up with my ultra-hilarious friend Crystal and we've been writing together. It's something we've wanted to do for a long time. And we have a whole fresh batch of ideas and stories we would normally text each other throughout the day. It's been really fun so far, and if you didn't know? Crystal's insanely witty. You'll enjoy her, I promise. We may take on pseudonyms later, but for now, this is us.<br /><br />Check out the new pen-pal blog here: <a href="http://talesofsuperplus.blogspot.com/">http://talesofsuperplus.blogspot.com/</a>Rhesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01697627190750925605noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407036863540724040.post-34003869574740961652011-06-15T17:26:00.000-07:002011-06-17T18:55:33.663-07:00Remembering The ColbysMy first experience with the nomadic culture of Manhattan was the loss of the Colby's. I saw it happen to loads of other people but as the cliche goes (and this post is going to be full of cliches) I never thought it would happen to me.<br /><br />Erin says she knew we were destined to be best friends because we loved animals, I knew we were going to be friends because we had the same pillows, the exact same style of everything really. Jordan and Rhett were besties from day one because I am pretty sure they are the same person.<br /><br />Our St George vacation together sealed the deal and we have video to prove it.<br /><br /><iframe width="500" height="310" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/DHcIap_jTM8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br />Then, like all great love stories ours was star crossed and would end sooner than Rheslie could ever imagine or be prepared for. Jordan was accepted to a dental school in AZ. The state across the country I once called home, my birthplace would cause the death of our friendship.<br /><br />That's a little dramatic and it's not dead but we don't get to hang out twice a week anymore, and I think we will always be friends, we made enough packs and oaths with one another to stay in touch and share more adventures. We just miss you Colbys and to all my AZ friends, you are SO lucky!Rhesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01697627190750925605noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407036863540724040.post-88015568293786224952011-06-06T16:49:00.000-07:002011-06-06T20:11:27.658-07:00I Go To School...and sometimes I even learn things. This week I am loving everything I am gleaning from ol' UOP. My class is called "Communication: Theories and Practice" and the best thing I have learned so far is that I am NOT crazy, but, I have ran into a whole bunch of people who are. That's right, it's you, not me.<br /><br />The specific communication theory is called "Uncertainty Reduction Theory". It states that communication upon an initial meeting is used to reduce uncertainties between strangers and people are most concerned with increasing predictability in an effort to make sense out of a communication experience. Meaning, all of those conversations about where you grew up, your favorite color or movie and how many brothers and sisters one has are really important and part of our cultural ritual. We need all that superficial conversation so we can feel comfortable enough to build a relationship.<br /><br />When a person violates cultural ritual by self-disclosing inappropriate information within the initial meeting their behavioral uncertainty will increase and we secretly think, "you are crazy!"<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 290px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615309819137939042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS8Tic0_mOpDKUn-JzLejhiNz_Gve3kPgGC3UbmzWG1hLXseYdT57l68-ZwAFOIPuLavbm7oK9LJvGtXlvDQiODHUBEeAzERivd2046qPWqByjXGjEU600lGJQMfC_SbQpaOrTmfwzg-c/s400/Picture1.png" />This makes sense to me, when I meet a person for the first time I don't tell them about how I love making music videos about my cats or that I don't just bite my fingernails, I bite my toenails too*. I would alienate everyone! Anyway, all in all I don't mind crazy people, they make my life interesting. Just don't expect me to handle it with grace or class if you show me your appendix scar before you tell me your name. <br /><div><br /><br /><p>*these are mostly jokes. </p></div>Rhesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01697627190750925605noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407036863540724040.post-7960211780134705912011-06-01T12:30:00.000-07:002011-06-01T12:53:24.910-07:00The Gift<div>My awesome Bro and his Stellar wife came to visit NYC and it was SO much fun!

I was strolling around the Fort Tryon wilderness with Rhett on our way to the Medieval Festival. Fort Tryon has been the host of the Medieval Festival for years now because of the old and magical feel the park provides. As we walked up a hill towards all of the festival I began to see a bow staff here and a man in leggings there. It was sparse at first but the number of Robin Hood inspired characters grew as I marched closer to the top of the hill. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 361px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 271px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564042420796280002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLZrqWl41drcCUfbfSU8MhlyFKh7L-kUmdMokqGDjYlhwtekylBmM1hUpgdbFcJHiu7t5Ub0IIT0zkPBHpT_YvfOLVlcl6Jv6UASYPa1kIdAGVdzfK3rQpuxjVRN-SEzw-Z-O28bsqyXE/s400/medieval_08.jpg" />I could spend hours writing about all the things I saw, tasted, smelled, and heard. But this post isn't about the wonderful things that happened; this post is about what a person does when they see someone they love being picked on and what it tells you about who you are as a person. Kind of like learning everything about a guy when you watch him play church basketball.<br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFaC5Lg3nA_OptD2KgwegyYEN6RquM67dKnGYi6yQg_KivW0nlSg0WuYB_MzxRpPE7ashk6lEOVoTprNKC2bHPdeJ1_94hLYoy8HqShvp6rNlh6_1deJTSJuQ8ESTa233PGz61OiYz6mQ/s1600/falconer-150x150.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 177px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 163px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564044100313769250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFaC5Lg3nA_OptD2KgwegyYEN6RquM67dKnGYi6yQg_KivW0nlSg0WuYB_MzxRpPE7ashk6lEOVoTprNKC2bHPdeJ1_94hLYoy8HqShvp6rNlh6_1deJTSJuQ8ESTa233PGz61OiYz6mQ/s400/falconer-150x150.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><p>We made our way to the portable thrown together stadium where a couple was demonstrating their skills in hawk flying…Is there a term for that? Anyway, we found some empty seats and cheered on with the rest of the crowd.</p><br /><br /><p></p><p>A cold breeze that chilled me to the bones swooped up the bleachers. I looked down and running up the steps was a throng of children. I shivered and held my breath as they approached. I have been told in the past that they are like T-Rex's and if you stay very still they won't be able to see you, (they were wrong). They surrounded Rhett and I and the one little girl who seemed to be the leader glared right at Rhett. "He stole our seat" she shrilled "That guy is a jerk for stealing our Seat! What a Jerk" </p><p>This went on and on till I couldn't take it anymore! I leaned forward so I could look her straight in the eyes. Blind with the anger I shouted back at her. "HEY!!! IT'S NOT LIKE YOUR NAME'S ON IT!"<br /></p><br /><p>Ghah! I am so lame! But I was just so protective of Rhett. Can you really blame me for losing my cool? Plus, my fourth grader response worked. The rotten little girl retreated and took the little band of bleacher bullies along with her. </p></span></div></div><br />And everyone lived happily ever after.Rhesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01697627190750925605noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407036863540724040.post-45674817557096289072010-10-15T17:37:00.000-07:002010-10-15T19:17:34.345-07:00Accounting SchmiccountingI really love blogging but I am in the Accounting class and it is trying to kill me.

(yeah, no, I didn't <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">play</span> the games but Rhett did!) While I was there my awesome plus friend <a href="http://forrestandabbie.blogspot.com/">Abbie</a> came with her family. I really like her kids for loads of reasons...just check her blog and look at how cute they are. However, sometimes Abbie's kids, Eli and Audrey forget how much they like me! Because of my obsessive need to have people and or kids like me I started laying on all the compliments I could think of. When that didn't work I tried giving them things to play with and when that didn't work I knew I had to pull out the big guns! "Hey guys, want to see pictures of my kitties?"<br /><br />They were hooked. All I had to do was reel them in with awesome phone pictures. As I started the kitten show I couldn't believe how many dumb pictures of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Whicket</span> and Kelly <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Clarkson</span> I actually had on my phone. It was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">ridiculous</span> and embarrassing. I mean Eli and Audrey had no idea how pathetic it was so that's good, but inside I felt my inner cat lady creeping closer to the surface. All I need is to stop washing my hair and get a big cane that I can shake in the air when little hoodlums get to close to my yard.<br /><br />Now...BEHOLD... The Cats! In ALL their glory!<br /><br /><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUt0SHJc2D1fDlHgKDEWr82HEzItVbHS4XXZtdY40rRuhme7NFuzy9nAoUiO6uyYi-JsjJiXi4MATLjBroQJpxY-euDkR4A5hyf_dF92TBQGRmJ79BSgt1jODGrMjloBJOhBTjxOFEB4M/s1600/Photo0032.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 190px;

I froze in thought. "Was it my husband coming home from his meeting early? Was it my friend Tara who was supposed to meet me at the gym? Was it a guy wearing a hockey mask wielding an ax?"<br /></p><p>My imagination always leans closer towards someone planning my demise. But I tried to push the thought from my mind as I fumbled with my keys to lock the front door. As I cut myself off from personal sanctuary scarier scenarios plaid through my mind and as I stood in the dark listening I continued to hear something around the corner waiting. I started to panic and decided I had to do something. My "something" was the worst "something" ever used to ward off an attacker.<br /></p><p>I started hopping... I hopped as high as I could while lifting my arms up and down above my head with fingers jazzed. I also yelled "Hiya, Hiya, Hiya," over and over again. As I jumped diagonally across my lawn like this I came face to face with the blood thirsty attacker who scared the dignity out of me.<br /></p><p>It was my neighbor walking his dog. He just stood there staring at me while his dog barked and ran in circles out of control. All I could do was apologize and run to my car and never look back. </p><p>Now I live in New York and it occurs to me that this defense tactic didn't work then and it probably won't work now where I might actually need it. Who wants to take karate lessons with me?<br /></p></span>Rhesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01697627190750925605noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407036863540724040.post-17727967159809202592010-08-23T09:11:00.000-07:002010-08-24T07:37:24.833-07:00Three Flights Later...I landed in Tucson Arizona. and yeah, I had to take three planes to get there.

She is getting married this weekend and she had asked me to paint her something in New York months ago. One night I was walking to the temple and the <strong>American Folk Art Museum</strong> next door had a pair of carved wooden angel wings that reminded me of Tara, classic, beautiful, everything wonderful. After I painted the wings I kept feeling like I needed to somehow add a little Leslie, something hot pink or bright yellow... and there you have it. I really hope you like it Tara!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 484px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 327px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503236227764234402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiWzc_8gGwud0yiQgd-cikH5UjnS8VSuSac4VSXcAQ2nfWV7uZVdX6dKzIwP0ucUF3D9bjmoek7FVcwkFgDwNi_fjZ-TpyMKmrvtF0gU8zNvglv8egY8hRMP3Fzh1xMH7kY8CwEjuvQoY/s400/Cow.jpg" /> This is my Mini Cow painting. My Grandpa recently procured himself a bunch of miniature cows, (did anyone know those existed? Because I sure didn't) and I just got a huge kick out of it and I went around talking about them for weeks!!! Then, I finally had to paint one...see? he is so mini the flowers are taller than him. Bhah ha ha ha ha, I love mini cows they are hilarious and cute!Rhesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01697627190750925605noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407036863540724040.post-48177013944939866372010-08-01T20:01:00.000-07:002010-08-01T20:12:17.748-07:00I Really Like My New JobI think this picture pretty much sums up all the happy and wonderful feelings I have about my new job.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrkSoZ014vCfDpIGBbs72g705I3w2Y1CCfU8skp71og33RZ1c3EhDqPoPB6jmxXrVJi-vgOlC9885WZjA7V9gOIY-ooCoM19qzf2pY5en5o7TXZ-97WnF_VWv-kfkfCEwI-q97ZU5azw8/s1600/Happy+on+a+dolphin.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500642758183027394" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrkSoZ014vCfDpIGBbs72g705I3w2Y1CCfU8skp71og33RZ1c3EhDqPoPB6jmxXrVJi-vgOlC9885WZjA7V9gOIY-ooCoM19qzf2pY5en5o7TXZ-97WnF_VWv-kfkfCEwI-q97ZU5azw8/s400/Happy+on+a+dolphin.jpg" /></a> I just finished up my first week at <a href="http://www.screentours.com/">On Location Tours</a> and I really like it. The people there are wonderful and I like the office and the location and that I get to continue to work in tourism.<br /><br />I just feel very grateful for the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">opportunity</span>. My friend Anna gave an amazing lesson on it today and she just posted some amazing quotes on her blog.

This illness can affect anyone, however it is usually brought on by a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">traumatic</span> experience in a person's youth.<br /><br />I can remember the experience like it happened yesterday. I was 10yrs old and I was sitting on my couch eating fruity pebbles. I turned on the TV and started watching America's Most Wanted. They featured a story about a man who was riding his bike when out of nowhere a truck drove up behind him with a 2X4 and hit the guy in the BACK OF THE HEAD!!! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">AAAAAAAHHHHHHH</span>!!!!!!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 263px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 175px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498049705108734258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-J6ySqJ0cHDDVexT8DGe9Z-5mhzDU5ku0WaV5F03uptA859pc907Naf20WqLW_9QGOuJIjwVqtvQq4zXdgd5vlAGb2x1N4JHzGxJEiwYMhtZ8QLmuTQBPEQaQpM8ExMz9hdo_ydfEiUI/s400/amw2.gif" />After that I couldn't ride my bike down the street without looking behind myself every 2 secs. Other side affects began to appear, I could never walk in front of a shopping cart and walking though revolving doors is almost impossible...It's been pretty rough on me and on those that are close to me.<br /><br />Rhett recently gave me a prize that brought back a glimmer of hope that I could lead a normal life. They are called "Spy Glasses" and they are amazing! Each <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">lens</span> has a reflective side that allows you to see what is going on behind you at all times.<br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 401px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 243px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498049698315615218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHPJ_nSvd9SLSdLeb9115HX0kDX6SFIgMkBOa_cbn7fUlf34zVA5GfLD9pO39m-hQJ5Mey4JmJIcjrDnvRUuQwD6MzPLeB8n_JThpEjGM9_JZZ1yZdXdSaS82TC3VJF5hVEFg1l84RTEw/s400/299_SG_Spy_Sunglasses.jpg" />I love them so much! It was such a fun and happy present and I am going to be sporting these things around NYC as soon as possible! Thanks for the present Rhett! Thanks for loving me, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">CFOTSUBM</span> and all!<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 401px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 273px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498049711568462962" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJs3Wt2LBYJm6r_T7jnZYDDgX0lHbNvgCL0Gz6whlxy2zFaizogFq9b1e0ezRVabzmYhdXH3Jzzk5PGRiF8hyphenhyphen7Ea90bWsAZkkFPfzBteGk18hbPhKbVn2vciIK3Tfap-RrVxvVNb-wrBQ/s400/IMG00194-20100725-2310.jpg" />Rhesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01697627190750925605noreply@blogger.com7
