Food for Thought Friday

Breakfast
What is looming on your to do list right now?
Clean my apartment, laundry, ironing, prepare my lesson for Sunday, figure out packing list for Dallas, shop for a couple of new shirts for Dallas, and blog my pictures from Durango trip. That’s just the beginning of the list. Dang! I need to get busy.

Lunch
What was your life like this week?
Work, sleep and read- that about sums up my week. That’s probably why my to-do list is so overwhelming.

Dinner
What is a fear you currently have?
Letting people down.

Midnight Snack
When is the last time you took time for yourself?
I take time for myself all the time. It’s one of the perks of being single.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince!!!

I feel like I've been waiting for this movie to come out forever. It was a sad, sad day when the release got bumped from last November to this July. I didn't think I would survive the wait. Somehow I managed to make it through until last night's showing. And let me tell you- it was worth the wait!!! I LOVED this movie!!!!

I learned a long time ago to not to expect a movie version of my beloved book but to expect a movie loosely based on the book. I'm a lot less disappointed when I go into movies with that attitude. Yes, there were things that I would change but overall I was very, very impressed. I loved the acting, the cinematography, the writing and the score. Heck, I even liked Michael Gambon as Dumbledore, which is saying a lot.

I could go on and on about my favorite parts and how impressed I was with the casting and the acting (Those kids get better and better with each movie!) but that would be boring for everyone except me so I'll stop now.

I'll just sum it up with this-

I laughed, I cheered, I gasped, I sat on the edge of my seat, and I cried (ok, maybe bawled is a better word) ... it was wonderful!!! I can't wait to go again!

Escaping Reality

This weekend I ran away to this cabin-And hung out with these beautiful women-

How lucky am I?!?!?!

Stay tuned for details =)

Food for Thought Friday

Breakfast
What is the last movie you saw and how did you like it?
Lost in Austen- it was weird. I’m still not sure how I feel about it.

Lunch
What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
Baskin Robbins Peanut Butter and Chocolate or Mint Chocolate Chip

Dinner
What is one goal you want to achieve this summer?
Stay sane (I’m not doing so well with this goal)

Midnight Snack
What do you do to pamper yourself?
Curl up with a good book

Now I can be happy!!!

Utah finally has a Popeye's Chicken!!!!

It's on Hill AFB so I'll only be able to go there when Mom's in town but at least I'll be able to get my red beans and rice fix occasionally.

I may not have to move out of Utah now.

Happy Birthday Howie!

The Birthday Boy

(Seriously, how cute is he?!?!)

The Cake

(it was white cake with raspberry filling-YUM!!) Big brother helping to blow out the candles

(There's a slight chance Will was more excited that it was Howie's birthday than Howie was)

Presents!

Random shots from the evening- (I'm not sure why I uploaded these in different sizes but I'm too lazy to do it over again)

Blaine gets hitched!

Saturday was a historic day. Why was it historic? Because an event occured that many people thought would never happen- Blaine got married!!!

Blaine served his mission in Scotland and he has Scottish heritage so that is why he wore a kilt. I loved it!

It seems like I've known Blaine forever. He served his mission with Bonnie and worked with her (and me) at KB Toys so he's been part of my life pretty much since I moved to Utah. He is honestly one of the funniest people I have ever met. I've been brought to tears more times than I can count by some off the cuff remark that Blaine has made.

Here's the KB Toys gang back together again =)

And these two are just classic Blaine poses-

When the time came to throw the garter instead of throwing it Blaine simply handed it to Alan.

They then decided to throw the bouquet which is when we promptly left ;)

Food for Thought Friday

Breakfast
What is your favorite part of the summertime?
How late it stays light.

Lunch
How was this week different than others?
Drama, drama, drama! Way too much drama for my liking! Luckily things are settling down a bit.

Dinner
What did you think of Michael Jackson?
Michael Jackson was a musical genius. His influence on music will last forever.
My friend Georgia sent me this video of a friend of hers singing Man in the Mirror- it’s so beautiful and I think it’s a great tribute to Michael.


Midnight Snack
What do you have planned for this weekend?
I have lots planned for the weekend. I’m not sure how much of it will get accomplished though. The two must do events are Blaine’s wedding and the Team Alice BBQ.

Angry Eyes

“I’m packing your angry eyes, just in case.”

Sometimes I wish I had a pair of angry eyes- don't you?

Food for Thought Friday

Breakfast
What is the largest burden currently weighing you down?
I’m not sure which one is weighing me down the most…. there are too many right now. How did I end up with so much on my plate? If I had to pick one thing it’s probably the state of disaster my apartment is in because I’ve been neglecting it while doing everything else that’s going on. I really need to do some deep cleaning. Hopefully I’ll get some of it done tomorrow.

Lunch
Do you Twitter or Facebook?
I have a Facebook and Twitter account but I only use my FB account. I don’t understand Twitter, I find it very confusing.

Dinner
What is one thing you must do before you go to bed each night?
Take out my contacts

Midnight Snack
Where is the last place you went?
I went to the House of Dern last night.
