red chicken chili that simmered in the CP for 8 hours, and then disappeared at the cook off faster than anybody else's - hello! a hearty (get the chili reference?) shout out to big sis steph for the recipe. and a house full of babies. even though they aren't really babies anymore, they will always be age 2 and age 5 to me, like how patty thought i was 8 for like 4 years. it was an adventure, thats for sure.
and finally - colby's latest vid game and my latest pseudo crush: nate from "uncharted 2". i have always been a fan of watching vid games when they are clever and have a fun story, and this one is especially great because the hero has an a%# that doesn't quit! i mean, check out the jeans!! wrangler butts drive me nuts!!
due to my current under-the-weather status, i have spent much of this last week glued to a tv screen when my head isn't glued to a pillow. here are my recommendations, in no particular order, of how to occupy your time should you find yourself down with the swizine: 17 again - zcefron has the most delicious hair i have ever seen. and its not nearly as annoying as you think it will be. jan levenson-gould holds her own. the rocker - recommended by our bishop, believe it or not.
austrailia - long but worth it. beautifully filmed, plus hugh is delicious.
john adams from hbo - why haven't we heard more from abigail? she is the reason john was the way he was! very good portrayal of forward-thinking people. and david mccullough spoke at my graduation so there.
despereaux - and dont even laugh! its so cute and so sweet and the perfect story for girls.
adventureland - i heart jesse eisenberg. wow! kristen stewart is a good little actress!
and fired up - an irreverent response to 'bring it on'.
so last night, we were headed to see zombieland with a couple of friends (movie was AWESOME by the way) and i was grump-central because colby made us late and we missed every preview. something about having to kill a big beetle in an alternate reality called world of warcraft. and if you know me at all, theres nothing i love more than highly anticipated previews and making fun of ones that look totally sucky - so all in all, things not going so hot. when i voiced my complaint to colby, things went a little like this:
me: i cant believe we are missing the previews! its the best part about paying 8 bucks to see a movie - knowing what will suck before the dollar-theater-goers.
colby: well, they won't show the twilight preview, anyway.
(long silence while i contemplate that and colby no doubt thought about $5 popcorn)
me: what do you mean they won't show the twilight preview? who said anything about the twilight preview? its a freaking zombie show - thats like saying 'well, they won't show the princess and the frog preview'.
colby: didn't you say twilight?
me: no.
colby: oh. im pretty sure you did.
and im pretty sure he likes twilight as much as any giggly, blushing girl but will never admit to daydreaming about jacob black - his latest object of admiration.
so anyways, this brief clip is for him. and you can enjoy it too.
reasons this september will be the best september ever:
no commute to the U or knife fights over parking spots. there is grass where there was no grass before. tulips? i want to experiment with bulbs since my last adventure in minutia with flora was dreadfully unsuccessful. there is much that a part-time employee can enjoy outdoors in these autumn months, and since the good ole 470 is my preferred mode of transport, i thoroughly enjoy my strolls to and from the bus stop in breezy, tree lined kaysville. and lets not forget the colors that suddenly appear in farmington canyon about this time.
hello. i love my husband colby, my pup rosie, cheese, dancing, and baking. i recently graduated from the u in human development and family studies, emphases in family violence and adolescent/late adolescent development. i have a great red brick home in the best ward in davis county, and we are quickly making friends with some of the cutest people around. we are grateful for our bestest peeps (t+b and l+b) and i am especially grateful to have girlfriends!
