Funny?, YES!

I was home for the weekend for Mother's Day and was looking through pictures on my mom's computer and came across this beauty!! It makes me laugh every time I see it so I hope you do too! Ross is graduating next week and I can't wait for him to be here in Provo with me!! We can make funny pictures together while enjoying food thanks to Dining Plus!!

Also when I was home I made a Mother's Day dinner. I bought lobster originally but then we ended up eating with my dad's whole side of the family so that will just have to wait. I wanted to make Chinese so I made a cashew chicken recipe that is sooo yummy and super easy! I also made a mango stir fry that I posted on the Menu of the Week for BYU's Women's Services and Resources (WSR). It all turned out well and I'm so grateful for my mom. She's so supportive in everything I do!!

I do some posting at work on our blog and just posted about the book I just finished, The Last Lecture. It's a great book read about it here. And I wrote something about coupons. This lady has a blog called Utah Deal Diva and as I read it I don't understand and get frustrated because she gets some much stuff for free and I want to get in on this coupon business like she does but I just don't understand how it works like she does. I commented on her blog about not understanding so maybe she will do a one-on-one lesson with me (ha ha, she's too busy getting free t.v. dinners and Kraft Cheese)

Anyways, for the long weekend my roommates and I are going to St. George and I'm going to get a tan, relax, visit the temple, eat some famous custard, and maybe a little tennis. Then on Monday I get to be with Benjamin! We're dating again and I haven't been happier!! I haven't missed being in school for one second and I don't think I will. I have to do everything I can before September hits and the school load piles on (NNOOOOOO!! I just won't think about that now, sorry if I brought it back into your remembrance) and love working everyday at WSR. I LOVE SPRING TIME, bikes rides, frozen yogurt, and no tests!! I wish my life could stay like this!

Blondies

So at Applebee's I love their Blondie Brownie that comes out warm on a skillet with vanilla ice cream to top it off. I have just gone to Applebee's to get this, I like it soo much. As I was looking at a friend's blog I found the recipe!! I'm excited to try it and I'll let you know how it compares to the real deal. Check it out here.

Dinner in a Movie!

Yesterday was a great day.  First good thing that happened was I got to go out with Jackie and Jerika.  They were my freshmen and sophomore roommates and every since they've been some of my best friends.  It was due time to get together and I was excited to see them.  We wanted to go see Ghost of Girlfriends Past and eat.   We went to the theater first to go get our tickets to make sure that it wasn't sold out.  We went to the new theater at University Mall. I hadn't realized how nice it was and all the new restaurants that were going up around it. A few more restaurants went on my list.  Ok so we get there and it was really crowded so I just dropped them off in front to have them go get the tickets. 2nd good thing that happened- we got the last 3 tickets to the movie!!  

I had originally wanted to go eat at a Mexican restaurant, but the place next to Albertson's that I had heard good things about had disappeared.  So we went to Nicolitalia in the same area with the BEST pizza in Provo.  For work we had just eaten there for a "retreat" and we had gotten the chicken pesto pizza and it easily became my new favorite.  Before we ordered the pizza we had to check how long it would take because the people at the theater said we should be 30 minutes early to get seats together.  We had an hour.  So I asked the nice girl at the register how long it would take and she told us 20 minutes and that if we were in a hurry she could just put it in a box for us and we could take it. That would work out great.  We got bread sticks too and if you get a large pizza and an order of breadsticks you get 2 free canollis (3rd good thing that happened).  The cannolis were done first so we had dessert first, then our bread sticks and then our pizza.  Once the pizza was ready we had 10 minutes to get over to the theater.  So we had to just leave.  We each scarfed one piece of pizza down in the car and were still hungry.  The geniuses that we are looked at Jerika's purse and noticed the large size.  Our breadsticks were in a smaller container that would easily fit in Jerika's big momma purse.   So we put 3 slices of pizza in the smaller container with 3 breadsticks that we still had.  Jerika was worried about getting greaseness in her purse so I searched the car for a plastic bag.  In my trunk I found a huge garbage bag, it would have to work.  So we put the container in the huge trash bag and put it in Jerika's purse.  We strolled past the movie ticket men who thought nothing of Jerika's s bulging purse.  Once we were in the theater and seated Jerika whipped out the pizza.  Eating pizza in a movie theater was the 4th good thing that happened!  The man next to us was amazed and said, "WOW!! A pizza, my wife will be impressed."  I felt like my parents this day because they always bring in pop, snacks, and they've even gotten hamburgers in, but I still think pizza and bread sticks win!  Thanks to Jerika's Big Momma purse we had a successful dinner in a movie!
