Burritos and Jazz

For valentines I got Russ tickets to the Jazz vs. Pistons game (I am SUCH a good girlfriend). Before we went to the game we stopped at this taco shop in Murray called Lonestar Taqueria where we ate possibly the best burrito known to man. Unfortunately we were in a hurry so Russ had to eat and drive at the same time and spilled approximately 1/3 of the burrito on his lap. Another unfortunate event occured when we went to pay for parking and I realized that I had left my wallet at the taco shop. Since Russ had no cash we decided to at least ask the guy if we could write him a check. It was either that, or park 5 miles away. The guy just laughed at us for about 2 minutes. Apparently he felt pretty bad for us because he told us to just park and not tell anyone. So nice! I hope someone will do that man a favor. Russ almost pooped his pants the first half of the game because the Jazz were playing so horribly. Luckily the Jazz saved him from making a big mess because they made a miraculous come-back in the second half to win the game.

Pancakes

Today the BYU Food Science Club (of which I am a proud member) hosted the first annual "pancaked eating contest." I have spent the past week trying to psych-out the competition in order to boost my confidence. I was one of only 2 girls that participated in the contest along with about 15 guys. Russ was there to feed me my pancakes and to be my official "counter," which, it turns out, wasn't too difficult since I came in last place with a total of only 6 pancakes in 5 minutes. After the 5th one I started choking. The choking continued for several minutes. My life flashed before my eyes. No one seemed to realize that I COULDN'T BREATHE (see photo of red face) because no one was helping me. I guess they were all so mesmerized by the fools stuffing their faces that they were unable to hear me trying to cough up my internal organs. Russ finally patted me on the back a couple of times with the same force he would use to pat a new born child. Needless to say, the competition was a partial disaster (see pancake-slop photo). The other girl only ate 7 pancakes, as did half of the other guys, so I didn't feel too bad. 3 guys ate 15 and probably will regret it for several days.

Here is a list of classes i am taking RIGHT NOW:
1 - Food Process Engineering
2- Food Analysis
3 - Marketing
4 - Finance

my baby

I officially have the cutest baby (nephew) in the world. He is 9 months old and cuter than beans. I am by far his favourite aunt and if it weren't for his mom i'd be his favourite person.

Boots

I would like to bear my testimony of rain boots. I bought these boots at Mervyn's for $13. That means that for $13 my feet and toes not only stay warm and dry but I get more attention than a boot-wearer could ever ask for. Never in my life have I had more random strangers talk to me/compliment me on something that I wear. Perhaps these boots have magic powers that draw people unto them. No matter the reason, I am complimented daily, nay, hourly for my taste in rain boots. Soon after purchasing my own pair my mom and I purchased an identical pair for my sister. We now reminisce of the good old days when we were 4 and 7 years old and mom made us wear matching dresses to church every sunday and matching outfits every other day of the week. Since Sara was not available to model her boots at the time, Russ willingly stepped in. I think he secretly covets my boots.

thanks to my wonderful blog-expert-sister I now have a pretty blog site. I attempted to make it pretty but i just messed everything up. So she fixed it for me. Love you!
