FRIDAY!

Last night Josh and I ventured out to the Beacon Drive-In theater in Guthrie! If you head over to this website: http://www.beacondrive-in.com/, you can sign up for their e-mail newsletter. It'll give you their updated schedule as well as a coupon every once and a while! For instance, last night Josh and I saw Marmaduke for $2.50 each...now that's a cheap date folks! :) And in case you were wondering...no it was not animated..and yes, it was actually pretty funny!

However...we did get there a little after 8 and the movie didn't end up starting until closer to 9:30ish. Unless you want to park really close I'd recommend waiting till 9ish to get there. Next time we're bringing a picnic dinner.

All in all it was super fun! I hadn't been there in ages and we look forward to going again! Wednesday nights you pay by the carfull ($10, I believe), every other night is $5 for adults and $3 for kids. New movies come out on Friday's!

Not to change the subject BUT this was the HIGHLIGHT of my day! I got to work this morning and logged in to check my email and facebook because my facebook is equivalent if not greater than my e-mail. Anyways...one of my most favorite professors from last semester was selling her couch, oversized chair, and matching ottoman via facebook! I immediately about fell out of my chair I was so excited because they would go great in our den/tv room/man area. Let me show you a picture because they are so cute.

Isn't it darling? And let me assure you that it is so comfy as well! She had our entire class over for a cookout at the end of the semester and I tested it out then!
Oh and here is the ottoman....


Have a great weekend!!!!! We are celebrating Josh's sister Lauren's engagement this weekend as well as some possible swim time with my family!

frog.toad.and stuff.

Warning: This post contains a random hodgepodge of things found in my cellular device. Item #1: See the frog/toad? He's our friend. He hides out in our unplanted flowers (left) and the potted plant (right). One night I was watering the turquoise colored pot and the soil errupted. I thought it had gotten too dry and was just re-settling but out jumped this ol fella. He's been around ever since. Also take note of the 50% off sticker on the left? Yeah..we're in the business of bringing nearly dead plants back to life. Talk about green thumb. We're at 3 loses and 12 wins right now but 2 were good ol Lucy's fault. Her stay at our casa was perhaps too uneventful for her and she took the liberty of inhaling our poor cilantro plant as well as an okra plant. Maybe she'd like salsa?


Item #2: Pre-wedding bedroom. Yikes. Brad Henry would name this area a state of emergency in a heartbeat. See that bag of tootsie rolls..center point of photo? Just ate a leftover one. Yum. Although they taste similar to that green package next to it. Nice and minty. I'll never want to eat these types of candy again. Too many leftovers. Better than running out though, I'd say. Yum can't wait for Halloween candy. Can't wait for Gran Jan to get her big 'ol bag she always gets at Sam's! Yum.




Item # 3: This is Keeley! See that yellow thing? It's not a Wendy's cup but one of those little things you use at the drive-thru at the bank. We were returning it. It was a funny story. I'd tell ya but I should probably ask her if I can first. She's in Haiti currently or I would. I can't wait till she gets back and I get to hear all of her stories!!!!!!


Item #4: Josh trimming the hedges near our front porch for the first time. Sorry for the bluriness....I was indoors in the air-conditioning..but before you start laughing...I was probably, I mean most likely doing something productive...like mopping. :)

That's all for today, folks!

And it's July

July. July. July. It makes me cringe! Because I know sc..sch..scho...yuck..I can't even say it. Anyway..IT is around the corner. Now this time next year..I'll be looking forward to it. Why? I'll be sitting behind the big desk. Keeper of the red pen. Recess dismisser. Shoe-tier. Snot wiper. Crayon loaner. De-germer. In otherwords..teacher and happily so. This student business is getting old. Don't ya think. Aren't you guys tired of talking and thinking about my studentness? If so..get tired of it because coming this May I shall no longer be a studentess. And I can go back to loving the smell of freshly sharpened pencils, hot off the press books, and wide-lined notebook paper. Oh and seeing it all get put out at Wal-Mart. Scratch that. Target for sure. Ahhh...

There's a box of Girl's Scout cookies on my desk. Thin Mints. Yup. Yum. Yikes. There's only about 4 left. Jessica ,lovely co-worker and personal friend, (who blogs at jessicakcampbell.wordpress.com) and I just ate 2 each. They decrease in number quickly. But rightfully so. They're delicious.

In case you haven't noticed...this post is well a little random. It's normal for me..but if it's not for you..ya might as well get used to it. Also these (......) commonly known as dots, periods, circles, etc....I'm fond of them and use entirely too many of them in daily writing, texting, emailing, typing.....the list goes on...............................................................

I've really been enjoying cooking/baking lately! Last night zucchini bread. Last week delicious white bread! About the zucchini bread though...had a terrible time convincing Josh that it was not the nastiest conglomeration he had ever seen. Truth be told...I actually think he would enjoy it. That will be a mystery probably until the next batch. Tonight he suggested we have Hamburger Helper. :( It's an insult to my skill but I'm thankful he doesn't expect a 5-course meal daily! Lower expectations of my cooking = a happier and more suprised stomach. Hahahaha

Oh and gardening has been high on my list of fun things as well! We are awaiting our first bell pepper! Yum yum!

Hate to run but my blog post is at a near end due to the approaching 5 o'clock and end to my work day and internet accessibility! Good night to all and to all a goodnight! Gee, I can't wait for Christmas! :)
