The Proposal (To can it!)

We have all been there. The house lights go down, the delicious smell of popcorn (making you wish you had some of that ridiculously over-priced stuff) wafts through the air and you get the anticipated feeling that the movie is about to start. I love this feeling. This is why I go to the movies.

I make it through the previews and the movie begins.

I have picked this movie because it is a movie that I would not subject my husband to. It is the dreaded chick flick . But, here's my problem, during the first scene I know I will not enjoy this movie. You know why? Because I've got the narrator behind me. You know what I'm talking about, the woman who feels the need to comment every freaking time the main man spills the coffee or falls. Yessiree. Trying to enjoy my movie here lady.

At one especially obnoxious remark I actually get up the nerve to turn around and glare at this woman, but to no avail! She would not be hindered.

I did not pay $8 to hear the inner workings of this idiots mind, did I? Nope. I paid to see a really stupid movie in QUIET.

The Weather...

It seems like it has been raining and overcast for about the last month. That is a fact. We have had a few days where the sun will peek out and the clouds will just move back in again.

For those of you who don't know, I am from Alaska. This is Alaska weather! Every time I talk to my parents, they are having GREAT weather. And it's got me worried. So, when I go to Alaska in July am I going to have good weather or bad weather? Because I know Alaska and I know this special state is only allotted a few good days of weather a SUMMER. They've already had all the good stuff for the summer. We'll see.

The cooler weather is good for some things that I hate doing in the heat. Like the zoo. Stinky in the heat, great in the cool. We went last Thursday with the cousins.

The Pics

No Winners Today!

Sorry it's taken so long to write this post! My computer is being manic, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Infuriating, really.

Well, I went for a bike ride! Alyssa, my awesome step-daughter, and I and some ladies from the ward went for a bike ride on the Legacy trail. And, I have to say it was REALLY fun.

It was low-key and one of the ladies brought cookies and milk for the half-way point. It was my friend's birthday the day before so this little trip was for her. It was perfect outside, about 70 with sunshine and a light breeze. Perfect. So perfect in fact that I was on Craig's list that night looking at bikes!

Something New

I did something that I haven't done in about 15 years...if anyone can guess*, I will send them a free piece of jewelry. Or if you're a man, I'll send you a piece of jewelry that you can give to someone else, a lady friend perhaps?! I'll post tomorrow.

*If you were with me when I did it then you can't say ANYTHING! Good luck!
