My Oscar

So I wish a little Oscar would pop out of my microbiology book and explain things like aerobic respiration and cell metabolism to me like he explains things to Michael...

Dear Martha

Dear Martha -

Okay, don't get me wrong. I love you. Your halloween magazine makes my halloween magical. This recipe did change my life. But yields 2 dozen cookies? Isn't that like a serving size? And after Annie and I (she stayed home sick from school) have eaten half the dough while watching Another Cinderella Story, there isn't much left to bake. And quadrupling the recipe hurts my brain. Fix this. Amen.

p.s. Maybe we should feed our army of cats more?

p.p.s. Dad, we said we wanted the BIG bag of powdered sugar. Gosh.

My turn! My turn!

For the non-facebook crowd

Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

1. I have a secret crush on Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs.
2. The best/most fun job I ever had was working as a phlebotomist at Bio-Medics in Provo, Utah.
3. I have never had any type of traffic ticket or been in any accident. (Knock on wood).
4. I have been as far away as Italy and Austria but I have never been to Mexico or Colorado.
5. I am so afraid of scorpions that I will never take my shoes off in my house. Get out of bed, put on shoes. Get out of shower, put on shoes, etc. Not kidding.
6. I spell really well and have little tolerance for people who cannot. Their/there, were/where, your/you're. Stop it.
7. The compass on the mirror in my car has saved me many times from driving in the wrong direction.
8. I have attended the Sundance Film Festival twice and never saw anyone famous. But I love going.
9. My most favorite movie is Just Friends. Teee jaaaaay!
10. I am afraid to pull through parking spots because I always think there is a cement thing secretly hiding there.
11. My mom passed away 1 1/2 years ago and I think that she wrote a letter to me before she died and hid it somewhere in the house. I am always looking for it.
12. I hate when people don't blow their nose and just snuff their snot.
13. Sometimes I want to ditch the whole nursing thing and become a flight attendant. I think it would be awesome.
14. I always think before I speak.
15. I hate being hot and sweaty. Hate it.
16. My itunes holds 24 days of music.
17. I feel like I am becoming technology illiterate.
18. I love to read! I am obsessed with the library and Barnes & Noble.
19. When I am walking somewhere and trying to hurry, I count my steps subconsciously.
20. I love going to the movies but hate 75% of the movies I see. But I keep going.
21. My best friends are my sisters.
22. I have been on the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour.
23. I love planting things and watching them grow. I kind of have some big shoes to fill.
24. I never lose things.
25. Hopefully I will be able to tag people after doing this.

My Weekend

So this weekend we went to the really pretty part of AZ aka Emery Cemetery. Just look at all that green!





I know! Who doesn't love Arizona? Annie was kind of ADD at the cemetery, so she discovered her skills in self-portraits.





No, we're not in mourning. We just all happen to like black. But you've got to love AZ clouds. I do.



Aren't pregnant people the cutest?



Then we had to eat at the best Mexican food place in the world. Seriously, how can chips and salsa get better? By loading the chips up with butter first! Divine!

p.s. If anyone knows how to make our blogger put the actual picture on our post when we are writing it instead of doing this as;dlkjhqpwoituqwopitu(#%(*&%(*&w$%ASDAWEOI///...2q35298q234twafsglkwartoi

and then posting the actual picture, let us know!
