New Moon

Mark and I joined the rest of the world and watched New Moon last weekend. You are probably wondering how I got Mark to go see that movie with me. It's simple. He lost a bet. A few days before New Moon was released, we were watching the Superhero Movie. Mark was convinced that the leading lady was the same actor that plays Rori on Gilmore Girls. Mark was totally wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Thanks to Kayla, I know the Gilmore Girls almost by heart. So we put a bet on it, and if I won, he had to take me to a movie of my choosing. If he won, I had to go to the gym with no complaints. (I know! But that is seriously what he wanted!) We looked it up on imdb.com and I proved victorious.

What I will say about New Moon, is that the second it is just as good as Twilight. Sorry fans, I laughed hysterically during the first one and Mom threatened to make me leave the theater. The movies are just extremely cheesy. Most of Myer's romancy stuff just doesn't translate well onto the screen...especially the frolicking. And the glittering in the sun. And the dialogue. Still, it something you have to see if you like books.

When You Feel Down....

It's rainy today. I went to the DMV to get my driver's license first thing this morning. It took me 20 minutes to get there and an hour to get home. It was the Garmin's fault. It kept telling me to do something, I'd do it, and then it would say "recalculating" like I made the mistake.) Then, while I was driving on some random two-lane country road, I ran over a squirrel. And I really, really feel bad about that.

Eventually, I made it home, and one of the fail-safe ways to improve your mood is to look at old pictures. Its true. I read it in an MSN article. :) So I picked one that made laugh out loud.

This picture is from when Mom, Dad, and Kayla came to visit us in St. George. Kayla was feeling a little grumpy that day (see other pic), but she still played along and sat on Brigham Young's lap. See..I feel better.

Our Weekend

Mark and I went to Sue and Brian's overnight on Saturday. They live a little over an hour away, and when we were 15 minutes away from the house, I realized I forgot my jacket. Throughout the night I also realized that:

I brought Dori's crate, blanket and food, but forgot her medicine. And leash and coller.

I brought two different shirts for the next day (so I'd have options) but forgot my pajamas.

I ended up with Mark's toothbrush, but not my toothbrush or toothpaste.

And Mark forgot his deoderant.

Hopefully the scatterbrain episode doesn't repeat itself anytime soon.
