Scandinavian Festival

Awwwwww!

Yippeee! Its the Scandinavian Festival this week! Even though I'm not in the festival this year, I had to at least dress up once in my costume! The festival started yesterday, and basically all the festival is, is eating and dancing. A lot of dancing. The food is great, its something I look forward to every year.

Bro. Branden, Sis. Dayna, Sis. Britt, and ME!

Anyways, I took some pictures of Brittany and I in our costumes. Tomorrow I'll try and post some videos of our Scandinavian dances, it won't be as cool watching it as a video, but it'll give you a little taste of what we used to do every year. ;)Just a picture of our full dresses. Lots of layers...soooo hot!Looks like Brittany is throwing up. I don't think we were expecting this shot to be taken. ;) I just look...weird.

Random picture of us. Britt's whispering and I'm trying to look shocked. Not a great actress.

20 years from now...

As I was getting lunch ready today, I was talking to the little girl I baby-sit and asking her how her day was at school. Well, as we got talking we got into more 'serious' stuff. Such as, what she wanted to be when she grew up, how many kids she wanted and so on and so on. (she brought it up)As she was telling me how many kids she wanted, she told me that she wanted me to be her kids' baby-sitter, because I'm 'such a silly silly, and a good cook, and the nicest baby-sitter in the whole world and I love you'. I about died laughing. I quickly told her thanks, but that I was going to be very old by the time I baby-sat her kids and that I'd have a very hard time of chasing them around with a cane if I was an old granny. Naturally, that made HER laugh at me and she of course she kept insisting that I'm the only baby-sitter that her kids will ever have whether I'm and old lady or not.

So, I guess in 20 years I for sure have a job if she gets married and has kids! lol. Anyways, just thought that was cute.

1 ply tissue

My poor nose, I think it found out the hard way that you don't use 1 ply toilet paper tissue to for your runny nose. No sireebob. It felt like sand paper scraping my nose raw.(that may be a little dramatic,but it hurt) I was at a visit last night, and there was no nose tissue in sight, so thats why I had to use toilet paper.

Now before you use 1 ply tissue on your poor unsuspecting nose, check the layers of the tissue, then check the softness, and then apply to nose IF (and only if )the tissue is soft, and layered nicely. And don't try and layer the 1 ply tissue on top of another 1 ply tissue,because it won't work. The sand papery tissue still feels like sand paper no matter how many times you layer it. If you've mistakenly used the sand paper tissue, simply apply your chapstick with your finger to your nose.

Wow, this should be on WikiHowto of the day!

I'm having too much fun on my macbook, I think. I love that I can video chat with Jordan and mandy and the kids, its too much fun! Here are some silly pictures I took in my room. I'm dying laughing lol

Me and Abigail

This hat was so big on her (you can't really tell), but she wanted to wear it really bad for a the picture.

Last night Jordan and Mandy came over and brought Abigail and James to hang out. Abigail decided she wanted to take some pictures of us together, since she had fun doing that with me the night before! She told me how to pose and everything, so here are some of the pictures we took.

Too much Chipotle, mayhaps?

I'm the biggest dork ever. Last night I made dinner for the guys before we all headed off to church, and I wanted to make 'The ultimate spicy beef nachos' for them. Something new and different that we've never had before. Well, maybe that was a mistake. See, I was rushed for time, since I got home late from work and didnt really start dinner until around 5:30ish. I normally I like to have dinner done right when dad walks in the door or shortly after, so I was rushing around the kitchen trying to put this new recipe together quick so that we could sit down and eat and relax a bit afterwards. I had a medium sized can of Chipotle chiles that I had to open, and I thought that on the recipe it called for a medium sized can of Chipotle. And at the time I was wondering why in the world wasn't it telling the can size? But I continued on and put the whole medium can into the meat.
Today I got some sad text messages from the guys complaining that their stomaches hurt most the day. And, I was just thinking, well, maybe they shouldn't have ate that much. Welll, I was talking to my mom, and she mentioned that the recipe called for one medium sized Chipotle, not medium can of Chipotle!!! Those poor guys! No wonder it was so hot. O_O I don't normally miss things like that in recipes, so don't be scared to come over here and eat my food, it was just a mistake, I promise!!!

Anyways, I just thought that was pretty funny, because once the guys found out what I had done there was alot of "Lorrraaaainnneee!!" and lots of tales of how their day was in pain. So, I'm sorry guys, you know I didn't do that on purpose, and you know that hardly ever happens!! Next time I will follow the recipes completely, and make sure when it says something weird to read it slowly, so I get it. Heehee!
