The Best Date

You know you're on a good date when...

• Your date is the guy you have a huge crush on.
• Your date eats half of the macaroni casserole you made (which you doubled the recipe for).
• You show up for a play an hour before it starts because you had misinformation of when it started, and your date excitedly suggests that to kill time you should all go to his house so he can fold his laundry.
• You actually do end up going to fold his laundry and have a competition to see who can match the most pairs of socks.
• You see an incredibly hilarious play that many of your friends are in.
• While driving in the car, you and your date sing at the top of your lungs to Kelly Clarkson... and he sings it in the upper octave that Kelly Clarkson is singing in, and it actually sounds good!
• When you go back to your house for brownies, your date compliments your mom on her curtains and other various decorating techniques.
• You totally kick everyone's trash at Parcheesi, but they refuse to accept the fact and cheat to make themselves feel better.

In all honesty, that was the best date I have ever been on.  Thank you so much Maddie for owing Traegar a date!  And thank you Mike for being Traegar's good friend and therefore the obvious option for me to ask to double with Maddie and Traegar. :D

Yes.

That awesome moment when you drop your
toast but are able to catch it between your thighs
because of your amazing cat-like reflexes.

The awkward moment when you realize that the toast

was buttered and that you now have a large butter

splotch on one side of the crotch of your pants.

Anna!

Tonight after Legoland we went to Denny's.

And my fantastic friend Anna from EFY drove 40 flippin minutes just to see me!

We talked about school while getting stuffed on too-big-meals.

It was so great. :)

Decades Project.

We had the 70's.

I don't have our actual video to post... it was too long to be emailed to me. :(  Sadness.

But I made "rainbow pot brownies" for our food.

They are rainbow cheesecake brownies.

But we called them pot brownies... because it was the 70's.

Duh.

They were pretty legit I must admit.

The first attempt was a fail, though.

I mean, they tasted good... but they looked kinda nasty.

The second time I used better and brighter colors.  And it was a success.

And they were even more delicious.

Everyone loved them. :)

Lagoon

With Hailey and Hailey!

And later Pa'a.

But he doesn't like pictures.  So we had to take them from behind when he wasn't aware.

By the way, isn't his hair gross/cool?  I still can't believe he grew it out

Guys with ponytails are a no-likey.

But long hair or not, I missed this kid just the same.

And was glad to see him. :D

 And my bus ride snacks.

Hot Cheetos and carrots.

Think they sound gross together?

Too bad.  It's delicious.

Taste before you judge.

But seriously.

Eating a carrot after a Hot Cheeto is probably the best thing ever.

Banana Bread

Mikey said he wanted banana bread nonchalantly in conversation.

Ten minutes later Hannah offers him this.

Yes.  That is slices of rotten banana on a slice of bread.

Mikey declined.

Hannah took a bite.

Then the bread sat untouched.

But hey, it's the thought that counts!

A 4 year old making her older brother some banana bread is pretty cute...

...and funny. :)

And Mikey made real banana bread the next day.

Yum. :)

O_O

These cookies were delicious.

But my little brother Michael took one bite of one and decided he didn't like it.

So I told him the cookie would haunt him.

He didn't believe me.

So I put it on his pillow like so.

Recent Adventures

For mutual I etched this mirror AND made this rose out of clay.  (I painted it with fingernail polish.) :D

~~~

The Panda Express opened.  Yum, yum, yum!

~~~

 I made these from Pinterest.

Chocolate peanut butter bars.

Yumm. Yumm.

I think Joe is confused.  These are OBVIOUSLY briefs.

So my friend Russell went to Forks, Washington (where he moved from) about a year ago, and he brought people back souvenirs.  He brought my sister a jar of dirt.  She kept it on a bookshelf near a window, and she noticed that there is now stuff growing in it!  CRAZY!
