Being from the northwest I should be pretty acclimated to rain. Not today! We washed the car yesterday and now it's all dirty again. Utah rain is dirty. And, we were planning to hike Utah's second tallest mountain (Mt. Timpanogos) tomorrow for a "fun" labor day activity, but the weather forecast says it'll be rainy, stormy and lightningy (lightningy?) Not very good hiking weather. Maybe it'll clear up like it did on our wedding day. Rain rain go away, come again another day. Just not ...
The One with Rachel the Cat
Friday, August 29, 2008
Why do cats do the things they do?Rachel likes to go behind the blinds and bask in the sun, then when she get too hot she rolls her fat self over and brings two or three of the partitions with her and stays in that position for a half hour or so.She also likes to perch herself on the windowsill and stare outside; watching and waiting for me to get home.Usually she rests both of her arms on the windowsill...
The One with the New Look
Thursday, August 28, 2008
I've decided my blog was too dark, so I'm reverting to the default Blogger template. I really like how bright and happy it is now.I don't have much to blog about today so I'll just make a list of things that come to mind.1) Gas prices are going down. It's under $4.00 a gallon right now. When I was in high school I freaked out when prices went above $1.25.What happened to the good ol' days when you...
The One with Jen's Baby Shower
Wednesday, August 27, 2008
Jen is a "ticking time bomb" :) It's been so fun to watch her grow! We threw her a baby shower today during lunch - which was a little odd with three guys there... j/k. Marlene made an amazing (and delicious!) duck shaped cake.Jen isn't finding out whether it's a girl or a boy, so we were all pretty creative with our wrapping. I put my present in a blue striped bag with a pink card, and Alisha put...
The One with My All-Time Favorite Movie
Tuesday, August 26, 2008
If there was one movie I had to watch over and over every day for the rest of my life, it would be Elizabethtown.123 minutes, released October 2005, directed by Cameron CroweThere's not really a big plot line - it's mostly a series of sweet moments, each capped with the right song at the right time. The music is a really big part of my attraction to this movie. It's so different from anything I listen...
The One with Michael Phelps
Monday, August 25, 2008
"It was the obvious cover shot. Whenever Sports Illustrated group editor Terry McDonell talked about Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps' quest for eight gold medals, he was asked if the mag would do "the picture." "They always said, 'You know, the one like Mark Spitz with all the medals,'" McDonell laughed. "It was certainly an idea that occurred to us." On Wednesday, Sports Illustrated will unveil its...

The One with the Ruined Shoes
Friday, August 22, 2008
I bought these shoes a month or two ago because there was a "buy 1 get 1 half off" sale going on at Forever Young Shoes in University Mall.They're super comfy, but they get super dirty super easily. Last Sunday I washed them off pretty good so they looked new then I set them outside to dry. And they turned yellow :(They sure look nasty compared to the store photo! Maybe I'll wash them with bleach...
The One with Skandar Evans
Wednesday, August 20, 2008
We're going to name one of our future sons James Skandar Evans and call him Skandar. If he hates it, he can always go by James or Jimmy. The boy who plays Edmond on The The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is named Skandar Keynes, that's where I got the name....

The One with the Moved Up Twilight Movie Release Date
Monday, August 18, 2008
Chris informed me last night (how did he find out before me!?!) that Summit Entertainment has decided to move up the release date of the Twilight movie from December 12th to November 21st. They claim it doesn't have anything to do with Harry Potter being pushed back to next summer (bummer!). So, I've updated my countdown widget and now I have three less weeks to wa...
The One with the Yorkie Puppy
Sunday, August 17, 2008
We were THIS close to getting a Yorkshire Terrier puppy yesterday. When I'm around cute animals all rational thoughts go out the window. I'm an animal lover and our second-bedroom-turned pet room proves it. I see a cute rabbit, I buy it. A fellow co-worker has a free chinchilla, I take it. A bird is nice to me, he becomes a 30 year investment. And nothing ever dies! I've had my silly beta fish for...
