Things on my mind today....

#1: A-lot parking passes are $100. WHAT??? To park on campus? RIDICULOUS!
#2: Island Park was SO FUN!! Pictures coming soon. Well, as soon as I can stay home for more than 10 minutes at a time.
#3: Urinetown rehearsals are hard. So many dances to remember..... currently don't have the brain capacity.
#4: One of my biggest pet peeves is when they make a book into a movie and then change the cover of the book to match the movie. The book was there first and the original cover art is usually the best! Leave it alone!
#5: Work is boring.
#6: I LOVE FAMILY.
#7: I'm excited for all the upcoming weddings. Congrats to all of you :) ps... I hope you like the gift I'm making.
#8: Maddox for dinner tonight. YUM.
#9: Meeting with the bishop tonight..... I swear I didn't do it! Oh... wait. They just make me so nervous!
#10: Losing weight really stinks.
#11: Exercising really stinks.
#12: Our house never cools down. Therefore I hate going home which results in a dirty house which results in a grumpy Erika.
#13: I CANNOT WAIT to be done with my Nutrition class. It's been very informative and yes it has helped me eat better but it's been harder than ANY of my upper division major classes.
#14: I wish money really did grow on trees. Or you know... appear magically whenever you needed it.
#15: Babies Babies Babies.
#16: Congrats to Candice on another upcoming boy! I'm brainstorming for the perfect gift.
#17: I can't decide if a Kindle would be worth the $300. Is it better to own the book in paper or electronically?
#18: What to send to my Favorite Swap Partner? I can't wait (or decide)!
#19: GNO with Memorial Park Ward ladies tomorrow at Macaroni Grill.
#20: When I'm the only one at work, with no one to talk to.... I make lists like this one. Lame.

Weekend Adventures

Thursday I kidnapped Cody and took him to see Harry Potter 6. He wasn't too thrilled when I told him where we were going but by the end of the movie he was happy that he went.

We both loved the movie!
I haven't read the book in a while so I'm sure that's why I didn't have any problems with it. Cody hasn't read the last 3 books so he had no idea what was going to happen. It was fun to talk to him about what he thinks will happen next.

Friday we both had the day off because we WERE planning on going out of town for the weekend. Our plans fell through so we watched movies instead :)

We went to the matinee showing of Transformers 2 and were 2 of 10 people in the theatre. It was really nice.

The movie itself was just okay. It got a little long and we both decided we like the first movie better.

I'm going to see this tonight with Camille and Lisa and I can't wait! I hear the movie ending and the book ending are different. That really ticks me off.
But I'm excited to see it nontheless.

What's up next?

Tuesday...Rodeo

Thursday..... Island Park all weekend!

So guess what?

NO.... I'm not pregnant.

Although it seems like the rest of the world is jumping on the bandwagon. Just one more year of school. I can make it.... Right?

Anyway...

Remember THIS post?

I. JUST. BOUGHT IT.

Summer....

is definitly going by too fast.


We're now all the way moved in to our new house and are loving it (minus the no AC or swamp part). But we're surviving the heat with 5 fans and windows open 24/7.

It's weird getting accustomed to the new noises. Right after we moved in, we were going to bed and our fan just shut off on its own. I almost peed my pants. Cody got up and checked the lights. Turned out the electricity was out.

Last night at around 3 or 4 our bedroom door SLAMMED shut. I almost had a heart attack. Cody did too. Turned out it was just windy and we had both windows open and a fan going. I still couldn't fall asleep after that.

Stupid imagination involving killers.

Here's what we are up to the rest of the month (we're almost half way through already, wow!)
  • Saturday the 11th, my Grandma Hubbard became the new Grandma McDonald. We're just going from one nursery rhyme to the next. We love her new husband Van.
  • Sunday the 12th, we celebrated Gramp's 80th birthday. He sure loves his family and we're so grateful for him.
  • We might go to St. George this weekend... we might go to Idaho Falls. We don't know yet but we ARE going somewhere.
  • Next weekend, over the 24th, we're going to Island Park with the Cardon's. We can't wait!
  • The day after we get back, Cody is scheduled to take the GMAT. I think I'm more nervous than he is. He REALLY wants to get into the Master's program this Fall.
  • Urinetown rehearsals Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays. I'm Little Becky Two Shoes. It's so fun!
  • GNO with my old ward to The Macaroni Grill... my favorite place!
  • And Cody for sure will fit in fishing and shooting as much as possible.

Sometime, we would like to see Harry Potter, Transformers 2 and My Sisters Keeper (well... probably not Cody on this one). Although, I'm pretty sure the book My Sisters Keeper will be better than the movie.

Sometime in all this, I have to find time to weed the garden and decorate the house. WE LOVE SUMMER!!!

But sometimes between the parties, work and school.... it's nice to do nothing at all.

*Clarification on last post*

Cody knows he does this. He says he can't help it. It's a big joke between us and I love him for it :)

You know what makes me grumpy?

When Cody comes home and asks me to do something (be it grocery shopping, running errands that I have planned for the next day, or anything I'm not really in the mood for) and I KINDLY turn him down to which he replies...

"Why are you so grumpy?"

Wait....What?

All I said was I didn't want to do it. That makes me grumpy?

Go figure!
It just so happens that 9 times out of 10, I've been pleasant all day.

10 times out of 10, after he poses that question I'm grumpy the rest of the night.

Your wish has now been granted. ENJOY!
