Guys vs Girls

Ha...once upon a time, there was this guy that I liked who found out that I liked him and he said he didn't like me that way but he told me he just wanted to be friends. So we were. Road trips, platonic Sonic dates, saving each other from awkward situations.

So...how does that work into the following situation? Did he lie? :) He's married now, but it's interesting to think about...watch the video and then please express your opinion, I would love to know what all you ladies think. (Yes, this is my assumption that only women still read this blog. Cousins, sister, Mom, Aunts, friends)

Done Did It

Well...I did it. That's a first, in however many years I have been blogging. I posted EVERY day for an entire month. Yay for a successful NaBloPoMo.

Now back to our regular programming.

(have to brag...I cooked with leeks for the first time today. Thought they would be a bit more difficult than they were. They look like a cross between an onion and celery. They cook like it too. You have to clean out the layers cause there IS dirt in there. I know, I found it. I made potato leek soup (creamed it) and then whipped up some cream for Strawberries and Cream...it's all good...)

Chuck

Dear NBC:

I would really appreciate it if you would allow me to watch Chuck online again. You did last season. You did this season for the first episodes. All of a sudden I get a 'this video is not available online' message.

This message is really not appreciated.

With Regards,

A Zachary Levi Fan

Mad...

So I went to cancel my Gold's Gym membership today.

Yeah. It didn't get cancelled. The only way to cancel membership with Gold's Gym is to a) show proof that you have moved (utility bill, bank statement, lease agreement, etc.) with a 30 day cancellation notice and $100 OR b) sell your contract to someone else and pay $100.

Really.

Like, really really.

I am reading the fine print of my signed contract. I seem to remember being told I had a month to month contract. I mean, I really remember it. And I certainly wasn't told all this crap about cancelling when I asked about their cancellation policy.

I am mad.

Anyways, thinking about sending all my bank statements to my parents house in NM. Lucky me, I have to scrounge up an extra $100 I don't have.

Fooooood...

Apparently I am a foodie. When I talk about places I have been, I usually talk about the food I ate there.

No wonder I am overweight.

Well, the food I ate this last weekend was wonderful. My favorite thing had to be the desserts my brother in law made. He made this blueberry/whipped cream...thing...oh my gosh, it was divine...and I usually don't go for fruity/berry desserts. Yum.

Well, I didn't have any food when I got back. My wonderful roommate let me have a cup of milk and two slices a break so I didn't die last night of hunger and had a peanut butter and honey sandwich.

Anyways...so at lunch and before dinner I made a couple trips to the grocery store to stock up on stuff. Milk, OJ, cheese, bread. I got a bunch of fresh stuff like carrots, apples and such.

Got leeks for the first time. Totally making leek potato soup. Can't wait. Need some heavy cream. And I have great plans for the leftover cream...:)

Bought some cookie inspired ice cream. I also have great plans for that.

For dinner tonight: went simple and vegetarian. Steamed yellow squash, no salt or anything, and baked sweet potato with butter, cinnamon and a tiny bit of sugar. Yum.

Going to eat well this week.

Driving driving driving driving...

(I need to remember to click POST! Gah!)

On the way down we listened to video game soundtracks (that I don't know...cause I don't play video games beyond Mario Brothers and DDR) and watched (they watched, I listened) Alice in Wonderland, the new one.

On the way up we listened to Christmas music and...they read.

NEED to remember to get books on CD.

I didn't get tired at all this trip. There is a lot to be said for driving during normal waking hours.

I am home. Good night.

Babysitting...

So I thought babysitting my nephew was going to be a breeze...

Yeah...

Poor thing had separation anxiety up the wazoo! He KNEW I was not his Mommy. Every time he looked at me he started crying. Screaming more like. Big billowing tears came out of those sweet little eyes...

He ended up falling asleep on me...I distracted him by holding him close with his head up on my shoulder so he couldn't see my face, put a noisy toy and his burp cloth up there...he grabbed and sucked and crackled as he slowly calmed himself down...eventually he relaxed and fell asleep...so sweet and pitiful at the same time.

Wouldn't have traded that for anything. He will slowly get to know me, but it was nice to spend an evening with him. And it was the first time since late in my sisters pregnancy that she and Ison had a chance to do a session at the temple.

Totally worth it. He is getting a good nights sleep now, was very glad to see his Mommy when she got him up for his last feeding of the night. Hope he has a good long sleep.
