The Babysitter's Club

Matt and I had the pleasure of babysitting Olivia on Friday, while mom and dad enjoyed their last weekend of having only one child! This girl is a hoot! She would run down the hall and yell, "MATT!", wait for him to chase her, then run behind a bedroom door and shut it just as Matt would catch up with her. She loved it! And of course Matt had to do it five hundred times before Olivia grew bored of it. Then we danced to this funny CD that Amy and Mike had. Then I HAD to play with her hair so we gave her a cool fohawk!(f.y.i- a fohawk is like a mohawk but just in the front, as opposed to all the way down the head) And yes those are goldfish in her mouth. Needless to say it was a really fun night!

I wanted to show everyone my darling new purse that Laurel got me for Christmas. I love it! I seriously use it all the time (as you can see by the wonderful disorder of its contents.Everything just shoved in, just the way I like it!) Thanks Laurel!

While trying to unplug his computer from the outlet in our tiny kitchen, Matt accidently knocked over an entire jar of candle wax I had on a candle warmer onto the floor. Hence the cringing look on my face as I scrape it off the floor with a butter knife. I never knew wax could dry so fast!

You can't see it very well in th picture, but the wax is everywhere! There is still some stuck to the floor, and I often find myself sliding into the kitchen in the morning! (Note the extremely attractive 70's linoleum)

UHF

I still remember going to the theater with Jon, Mark and I think Eric, to watch UHF. It was in the late 80's. What a classic movie! I wanted to get a post on here so our kissing picture would finally get off the front page. I love all of your comments that you post and would encourage everyone to post them. I've heard Mark is stingy with his comments. Megan is working on her food ingredients notebook for her nutrition class and cracking the chemistry puzzle. Ugh, good luck.

How did this one get in here?

The first post

Well here we go! This is my first blogging post ever. I have to blog for several of my classes this semester, forcing me to finally give into the blogging pressure. Hopefully, I'll not only be able to blog for my classes, but also use it as a family blog. I love all of the things you can do with this blogging software. Mom: In blogger you can restrict who has access to your account and it's free and much easier to use. I suggest switching.
