Year One

Mistake # 1. Dave and I both agreed to go see YEAR ONE with a bunch of the reps/techs from his office.
Mistake # 2. Not walking out of the movie the FIRST time I wanted to walk out.
Mistake # 3. Not ordering a diet coke

I didnt know much about this movie, but I knew Jack Black was in it, so I thought it might be funny. Next time I'll take the time to read the reviews before seeing a movie I dont know anything about. Overall, it was given 2.5 stars and I think this review pretty much sums it up:

"What a colossal failure it turned out to be. I don't think I laughed once -- except at one of the bloopers that ran at the end during the credits. I'm angry at what a waste of talent this film amounted to. Such heavy hitters - did none of them read the script before agreeing to do this film? I only wonder what kind of blackmail Harold Ramus has over each of these actors that would make them agree to be in such an awfully written film."

I should have known that any movie with Jack Black would be really crude and not worth my time or money.

On a HAPPY note.....

I LOVED this movie. I have been looking forward to it since January! Its totally predictable, and if you've watched any commercials in the last month you already pretty much know the entire story, but I still loved it. Critics only gave it 3 stars, but if you havent seen this, you should because I think you'll like it!

Where ma-pa-T People At

I have a rough life. I spend most of my days relaxing at the pool with all of these fun girls. Sometimes I complain because I get bored, but truthfully, I dont know what I will do when I have to go back to the real world and get a job in the fall. The past couple of months I haven't had any responsibilities other than cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner for Dave.... and its been GREAT! Thanks to my Baaaaabe for letting me have such a relaxing summer!

No More Lost Keys

Yes, I am THAT bored and the result is a blog about frugal things such as this key holder. However, before you judge me, you should probably purchase one of these so you can experience the same joy that I now have. I have a pocket in my purse that I have designated as my "keys pocket," but do I ever really put my keys in the "key pocket?" Nope. Im a failure at placing my keys in easy to locate places. Or rather, I WAS a failure. Not anymore thanks to this handy little gadget I purchased yesterday at a cute little boutique.

You put your keys on the end and it conveniently hangs over the side of your purse! Now when I go to search for my keys, I know EXACTLY where they are.

Harley Night Train

Our Sunday drive this week took us to the wonderful Harley Davidson world. Or rather HEAVEN. Dave, Kyleur and Matt were on cloud 9 as they looked at EVERY bike in the store. I wandered off to the clothing section and found some tank tops that were cute... in a WT kind of way. What I really want is some leather pants! (you think Im kidding but Im not)

When I wander back to find the boys Im convinced that Dave has found

a new love:

the Harley Davidson Night Train.

Dave says:

"I knew it was the ONE for me when I first saw it...... .....Just like I knew you were THE ONE for me when I first saw you." I just laugh and hope inside that he is kidding. Although, Im pretty sure he is at least 75% serious. One day babe. One day.

Centipede on Steroids

Today I was in my room cleaning and I looked on the wall and saw this
A house centipede on steroids! I cant believe I took the time to take a picture of it before killing it. Yes I am one of those people who kills spiders, flies and other eight legged (or rather 100 legged in this case) bugs without loosing sleep at night. In fact, I think it makes me sleep better. So, I killed the disgusting creature with this

I was too scared to squash it with a shoe, so I grabbed my kitchen cleaner amd it turns out, 409 really is an ALL PURPOSE cleaner as well as an effective pest control.

BMW Root Beer

Last week we went to the BMW Factory. However, we THOUGHT we were going to the A&W Root Beer Factory. Wrong. Well, they sound similar. We took a tour of the place and watched a car get built from scratch to the final product. Lucky me, now I know how the brake pedal gets mounted in your car. No free root beer samples were passed out.

Here are some old-school BMW's. The people MUST have been so much smaller back then because I dont think even my left leg would fit in this car!
