Chuck

I recently started watching the TV show Chuck and I am totally addicted Adam has been watching it since it first came on TV but it didn't seem interesting to me. I have decided that Adam and I can't watch TV together because when he suggests us watching a show together the show never seems interesting and then when I start watching a show that he likes he yells at the TV through the whole show and I get so annoyed that I can't watch it with him anymore. Well my friend Nicole from work loves Chuck as much as I do and my friend Sarah had never watched Chuck before so we decided to have a Chuck marathon. It was really fun to hangout with Sarah and Nicole outside of work. We made Sarah really confused because we kept trying to explain what was going on in the show and we kept telling her things that hadn't happened yet so it made the show really confusing for her. I meant to take pictures of our Chuck marathon and I charged my camera to take pictures but I forgot to take my camera out of my purse. I only have two complaints about chuck I really hate Morgan's hair in the first season but I didn't realize how bad it really was until now when I am going back and rewatching the first season. Also, I also hate Sarah's teeth her front teeth are too long and it drives my crazy to have to see them in every episode but other than that I love Chuck and would highly recommend it to everyone.

Plays

Last Thursday I went to see my cousin Whitney in The Pirates of Penzance. She was a pirate and did a really good job. We also had the perfect seats to see her we were on the front row on the side of the stage that she was always on. At one point on the play there were cops running all over right in front of our seats and I was really afraid that my toes were going to get stomped on. Unfortunately I forgot to bring my camera so I only have one picture from my phone. At the beginning of the play the drama teacher told us that we couldn't use flash photography well I am not really technologically savvy so I didn't know that my phone had a flash so when I took this picture is flashed really bright and I didn't know how to turn the flash off so I only have one picture.



The week before I went to see Whitney's play I went to see my aunt Lesa's play Hurricane Smith. Every time I go to see a play that Lesa directed I am astounded she is such a great director and comes up with the most clever ideas. Her play was really funny and she did a great job with casting the parts in the play. The only downside to the play was the lady sitting next to me who kept giving me dirty looks because she thought that I had moved her stuff that she had put on the chair to save her seat. She said that she needed to sit right in the middle because she needed to take pictures. I thought that she was the official photographer for the play or something so it made sense that she wanted to be in the middle stage in the front row but when she started taking pictures I discovered that this was not the case at all. Her daughter was in the play and she was just taking pictures with her cell phone.

Larissa's Birthday Dinner

When I was in high school I had a really close group of friends and as we have graduated and moved on with our lives it is sometimes hard to get together to hangout but we always try to go out to dinner for each persons birthday. The 20th was Larissa's birthday and she chose to go to Goodwood. The last time I went Goodwood I was not impressed but this time is was pretty good.



After we went to dinner we all decided to go to Graywhale in one car because Larissa needed to buy something. I love car rides with Sarah and Larissa we have some of our best memories from car rides. We used to drive to school together and also go to lunch every day in high school so some of our funniest stories happened in the car. After we went to Graywhale we decided to go to Larissa's house and play Nintendo 64 we only ended up playing video games for an hour and then we just hung out until like 1 in the morning. Larissa said that she could stay up that late because she is a real person now that she is 21.

P.S. Brittany you're dead to Sarah because you ignored her texts.

It was like 1 in the morning when we took this picture and it took like twenty tries to get a good picture of us.

The Tallest Tower

My niece loves princesses and princes and one day after my softball game she pointed up to the light pole and told us that the light pole was the tallest tower and that the princess lives at the top of the tallest tower and ever since then she has been talking about the tallest tower. My Mom had a box one day and decided to make my niece her own tallest tower. It is really cute and it is one of my nieces favorite toys. It never ceases to amaze me the ideas that my Mom comes up with.

This is Addisyn's arm she was trying to reach her quesdilla. The plate wouldn't fit in her tower so my Mom set the plate on a chair outside her tower and told her to reach out the window to eat it unfortunately my Mom didn't realize that Addisyn's arm wasn't long enough to reach the plate out the window.

Jazz Game

My cousin Whitney's dance group got to dance before the Jazz game on Friday so we all went down to watch her it was really fun. We decided to ride Frontrunner to the game so that no one had to worry about driving and it turned out great. This was my first time riding Frontrunner and I would definitely do it again. It was really fun watching Whitney dance because she is a great dancer and it made it even better that the Jazz won the game. The one bad part of the game was the lady sitting behind us she was really onery and complained about everything.

Lasagna hates me!

So, I would definitely say that I am not a gourmet chef but I can usually make dinner without ruining it with the exception of Lasagna. For my mom's birthday back in August I thought that I would be nice and invite everyone over for dinner and make lasagna. Well when I was making the sauce I was adding salt (we had a salt grinder) and the lids popped off and dumped all the salt into the sauce I tried to scoop out the salt because it was too late to start over but it didn't work so well and was still pretty salty. Then yesterday I invited my parents over for lasagna because we always have tons left over if it is just me and Adam eating it since it makes such a big pan. My Mom had mutual but she said my dad would still come over so that she didn't have to worry about making him dinner before mutual. So I got off work at 5 and my Dad was coming over at six thirty which was just enough time to make the lasagna. I had Adam start boiling the water for the noodles and cooking the meat before I got home so the food would for sure be done on time. I was so proud of myself for being so prepared and that the lasagna would definitely be done on time. I must have been feeling a bit too confident because that is when disaster hit. I was layering the lasagna into the dish and started to smell something really bad. At first I thought it may be the cheese but I smelled the cheese and it was fine. So I had Adam smell it and decided that something was definitely bad. We finally decided that it was the tomatoes in the sauce. So I had to throw all that food away and figure out something else to make which was not an easy task since all the meat I had was frozen and my Dad was going to be there in 45 minutes. I ended up making chicken and mashed potatoes and I have officially decided that lasagna hates me.

Brittany's Birthday

Sunday was Brittany's birthday she is no longer a teenager. For our birthdays we always go to my parents and my mom makes us whatever we want for dinner. When we were younger it was fun to just get to eat whatever we wanted now it is even better because you get to eat what you want and you don't have to make it. She chose to have enchiladas and they were so good. Thanks Mom for making them. For Christmas my parents brought the game Telestrations for my aunt and uncle and my aunt let me borrow it because she said that it was so fun and she definitely didn't lie. It was the most hilarious game sometime we would get laughing so hard that we were crying and couldn't talk. Its like the telephone game but with pictures and I am definitely not an artist so that made the game even more funny. Robyn made the cutest cake for Brittany it was a swimming pool and she used starburst for the tiles around the edge of the pool and she used gummy lifesavers as tubes with gummi bears sitting on them. I made Brittany an Apron for her birthday because she like Addisyn's that I made her for Christmas and I am very proud of myself I made it all by myself and didn't even end up in tears. I will post a picture of her in her apron once she emails me one.
