But forget school, y'all! Lets get down to business. Some things that I am loving right now are...
1. Cooking. As it turns out, I am not half bad. Sure, I have some help. Seeing how I would be completely content staying home and raising my imaginary kids and cooking 3 meals a day in my imaginary kitchen, I am glad my food isn't awful. The other night I used a pasta recipe from this wonderful little blog that you can visit HERE! I cooked the Lemon-Herbl Zucchini Fettucini. The pasta was a big hit and here is a picture of what it should have looked like to prove it.
2. Working at Northgate Vintage. Its just fun and cool and I feel fun and cool when I am up there. Its quite a little gem in this otherwise gem-less college town. Haven't been there? Shame on you. Get on up there and see Me, Carl, Emily, or Rachel. We will take the best care of you. Promise. My office even throws parties. Big ones with free beer. My Grandmom Dixie really wants to get her hands on that beer, but I doubt she will make it in time. If you are in College Station I am sure you are planning on being at NGV from 8-12, but in case you got side-tracked, here is your reminder.
3. The Extreme Shroom Makeover! Emily and her mom arrived a couple of weeks ago and re-worked some areas of our home. It is always nice to have a change around here, even if it is just rotating the kitchen table ( which makes a huge difference, trust me.) Turquoise rug, precious pillows? Yes, we have that now. Its fun and exciting and greatly appreciated. I used to have pictures of the makeover but I just checked my iPhoto for them and they are gone. Dang it.
4. Birthdays! They really are the best. Don't care whose it is, unless its someone thats not fun. But I like alot of peeps and they are mostly fun and they all have birthdays. I have not blogged in 2 weeks or so and I missed 2 major birthdays. And I mean major!
Ryan goes first because his bday was first. It is only fair. August 27th Ry turned 23!! We went to Great Outdoors for lunch, the mall for free time because Ry just loves to shop, then headed to the Ranger game with the Nemecs. So fun, and so special to spend Ryan's birthday with him. This is our first Ryan celebration as a couple, which he thinks is no big deal, but it is a HUGE deal. So glad you were born, Ry guy!
It really was a great weekend, because the day after Ryan's bday we celebrated JanPie! My mom is a great lady, and we greatly celebrated her great life. In this picture she is being a hand model, because she has GREAT and beautiful hands and feet. I'm jeal. We began the first Phase of Jan-Day on Thursday, though her real day was Saturday. CarleyGirl and I snuck around all day in order to paint and re-decorate her bedroom before she got home from work. Has anyone ever told you that painting a room is easy? Well they are a liar and you shouldn't be friends with them anymore. We had a great time and mom was very surprised. No, I don't have pics of that either. My bad. On Saturday we had a delicious Eno's lunch and then watched a movie in the Traditions fancy shmancy movie theater. Three Men and a Little Lady is cute AND funny. My favorite kinda film for my favorite moms birthday. Happy birthday to YOU JanPie, love you lots and lots and lots.
4 things I am loving right now is enough, right? I think so.
"It seems like there are more Chinese than white people here! China has so much money they could send us a whole student body. We could even have wrestling here and we would be the champions of the world!"
"These people here at Jason's and Panda Express... they are Mayans. You guys see it, they are very tiny people."
Some more offensive comments from Dr. Alonzo. I love it here. Whoop!
Bye, say bye!!
