Batman

I have salsa chicken cooking in the crockpot, and it's making the apartment smell amazing!

I went boating with my family yesterday. I did my favorite, slolum-skiing, but I also learned how to surf behind the boat! And later after, Jeffrey, my brother, and I went on the tube together. We got some good air, but we weren't able to go for too long because the bottom of the tube had a hole in it so it was flat, and it made our butts numb.

I forgot to wear sunscreen yesterday, I'm in pain today.

I'm spending today watching Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, those are the titles, right? I'm going to the newest Batman tonight at 7pm with our best friends, Sean and Melanie and Caity and Ben. I want to know what's going on tonight so I decided I should probably watch these films now.

I finally got a full time job! I am going to be an office assistant for a company called Dura-Tuff Wear Products. They sell grouser bar for bulldozers to people around the world. I start July 30th, and I am so excited!

Even though I got the new job, I am going to continue working at Sizzler part time. I love it too much to quit.

Shane's birthday is next week, and I can't wait! I have a few things planned, I hope it all goes well!

Rain Rain Go Away

I was so excited today because Shane and I had plans to go to Seven Peaks Water Park after he gets off work today. About an hour ago, the skies began to look like this:

And then the rain began. Thunder, lightning, raindrops the size of tennis balls. . . Bummer!! Call us crazy, but we're praying for a miracle. It is now 3:57pm and we aren't arriving there until around 5:15pm. We're still going to try to go. Hopefully the skies will clear up because this is the only day this week we can go.

Rain rain go away, come back a day I don't have any fun plans!

Freaky Friday

Well, it's Friday the 13th. . .

Dun Dun Dun!!

In celebration of this day, here are 13 facts about Friday the 13th:

• There are 3 Friday the 13th days this year; January 13th, April 13th, and July 13th. No big deal, right? Wrong. Each 13th is exactly 13 weeks apart. This hasn't happened since 1984!
• Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of the number 13.
• Next time you go to a big hotel or hospital, look for floor 13. Oh you can't find it? That's probably because it's not there! They avoid 13th floors because people can be so superstitious.
• The next year we will have 3 Friday the 13th days will be in 2015. They will fall in February, March, and November.
• Think your Friday the 13th is bad?  Be glad yours wasn't like this: On Friday, Oct. 13, 1307, officers of King Philip IV of France raided the homes of thousands of these Crusades warriors, imprisoning them on charges of illegal activities. Though the charges weren't proven, more than a hundred died of terrible torture. You may get seven years of bad luck, but at least you weren't tortured to death!
• Alfred Hitchcock was born on the 13th - Friday, August 13, 1999 would have been his 100th birthday.

• It is said that starting a trip on a Friday will bring misfortune. I believe this because my honeymoon started on a Friday, and we had quite a few misfortunes that vacation!
• For pagans, 13 is actually a lucky number.
• President Franklin D. Roosevelt avoided travel on the 13th day of any month, and would never host 13 guests at a meal.
• Mark Twain once was the 13th guest at a dinner party. A friend warned him not to go. "It was bad luck," Twain later told the friend. "They only had food for 12."
• The Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, N.C. offers therapy to help people overcome their fear of the freaky Friday.
• More than 60 million people worldwide are affected by a fear of Friday the 13th. This fear causes these people to not drive a car, leave the house, or even get out of bed.
• According to superstition, if you cut your hair on Friday the 13th, someone in your family will die. (This makes me laugh, because as I am blogging at my parent's house, my mom just arrives home from getting a hair cut.)

So hold on to your rabbit foot, don't open umbrellas inside, don't walk under any ladders or go near a black cat, and have a nice day!

Lazy Pants

I may or may not be writing this post on my husband's tablet. . . okay I am, and I love the clicky noise it makes every time I type a letter. So fun.

I feel like a fatty pants. It's hard to eat healthy when you only have the money to grocery shop every couple of months. Anyone know of any healthier nonperishable foods? Help this lady out!

I love my new job! It's only part time and I am still looking for a full time job, but it works for now. I work at the Sizzler at The District, feel free to come visit me! The food is so flipping good and the people I work with are just fantastic! I feel so happy at work!

Shane is SnoresMcgee tonight holy cow.

I can't wait until we can move somewhere that has internet. I would love to use my laptop once in a while.

Only working part time is so boring. I feel so lazy all the time. if anyone ever wants to just hang out during the day sometime please call/text/message/hit me. I would love a reason to get out of bed before 2pm, and I could use a few friends.
