The Good, Bad and Awesome

This weekend after a long hard week I decided to indulge myself.

With what may you ask?

Some good friends
Roman Holiday (found friends who love old movies as much/maybe even more than I do)*
And what is a good movie and friends without pizookie?

(Yes it was even better than it looks)

These are my B&W well educated film loving friends:

(Left to Right: Janae, Haley, Katelynn, Jenny, Myself)

To add to my joy, THIS fabulous girl is coming to see me this weekend!!!!!

Isn't she the cutest and prettiest and most amazing girl you ever did see?

I like to think so.

I am extremely biased though.

I haven't seen her since August and I am ready to party it up with her!

What would this world be without best friends?

Very sad for sure.

Speaking of which, I got to skype this kid last Thursday:This is Tyler in case y'all forgot.
He was here last semester rooming in Albert's apartment.
Anyway he's pretty much awesome and pretty hilarious.

On a side note: I cut my own bangs last night.

I'm not sure how I feel about them yet.

They might be good, but probably bad.
(Hence no picture)

Guess we'll see...

I want a cheese sandwich
Pepperjack is the way to go
Why are you hiding behind the couch??

*Thank you mom and dad for raising me on good movies!

I laughed so hard I think I have a 6 pack

Basically I had a wonderful weekend =]

Rachel White (Elizabeth Moss's cousin) came up from Provo Thursday night. (She couldn't find a Friday ride surprisingly). Plus she got here an hour and a half early! She hadn't eaten anything on the way up therefore, we decided to make some dinner. Rachel is a great deal like my friend Kris, in the sense she experiments with food. We ended up making angel hair noodles with cream of chicken, garlic powder, salt, pepper and corn. It was DELICIOUS!!! Then Brent came over to make cookies but it was more like Rachel and I were making them/having a flour fight and Brent just put some of them on the cookie tray.

It reminded me of "Uptown Girls" where they make cookies and they tell Molly to put them in the oven and while she is doing that the friends ask "Are you sure she can handle this?" and her best friend says "Don't worry girls, it's just cookie mix, how badly could she screw it up?" (The next scene is of the oven with flames coming out of it and everyone is screaming) But don't worry, we didn't burn the cookies at all =D But we were both tired after that and stayed in and watched some chick flicks.

Friday Rachel came with me to my Book of Mormon class. Her and Clarissa (one of the girls I sit next to and also my "companion" when we go teach lessons for class) got along quite well. Our assignment for the next two classes is to reread the talks we read at the beginning of the semester and then discuss them in our group of 5 people. (It sounds like my teacher won't be here which will be interesting...)

Then we decided we wanted to make dinner, this AWESOME salsa stuff but we needed avocado, tomato and green onion. So we walked to Albertson's. And that is a BIT of a walk! But it was lots of good exercise and we had fun especially the random people that yell hey to you from their cars as you walk by. We came back and made this:

Homemade salsa! It is kidney beans, tomato, onion, avocado, green beans (we didn't have corn), lime juice (we didn't have lemon), cilantro, salt, pepper and garlic pepper. It was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See how yummy it looks?

Then we walked again but this time to The Cocoa Bean and we got an Irish Caminilla Frappe.
YUMMY!

See?

And a Raspberry Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcake!!!
You know you want this! But too bad!

And my mommy sent my lots of sharpies so Rachel and I had a sharpie party! We drew lots and lots of pictures! I was in such a giddy mood from this! I think the sharpies got to us because we died laughing and I was too giddu for my own good, I was nearly bouncing off the walls!

AND RACHEL BROUGHT CHEERWINE!!!!!
This is exactly what it looks like =D

We did origami! And taught each other different things

She taught me this nifty thing and also one with 6 sheets and it makes a box!

Saturday we went to the gardens to take some pictures and we did though it was quite cold, we ran back to get my gloves and my remote for my camera. While looking around for a place to take pictures......I am not sure who instigated it......but I think we both looked at each other, read each others minds and instantaneously grabbed some snow off the table, patted it together and threw it! We spent about 20 minutes running around getting snow everywhere and making ourselves even colder! But finally we settled down and took some pictures.

Pretty Rachel!

I can fly! Shhhh it's a secret.

Besties! =D

And I went in the library for the first time!!! (Normally I just go upstairs just to mount prints but not IN the library part) Rachel was trying to do homework but the computer didn't have the program she needed.

Instead we made Arizona Skillet Dinner and it tasted SOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!! =D =D =D =D
Then I took her to Sammy's and we had a Mint Oreo Pie Shake and listened to the band and I saw a kid from my Book of Mormon class.

We went home and decided to make pizookie but we knew we couldn't eat it all so we invited Clarissa over. We had a little TOO much fun making the cookie dough, and making a practice test (because the altitude does weird stuff to food here). The cookie was HUGE! I wish I had a picture. We of course smothered it in ice cream and chocolate syrup. But we only ate around a third of it (not being hungry after Arizona Skillet and Sammy's). But we decided to sign the door
while making fun of some really dumb chick flicks such as "Dear John" "500 Days of Summer" and "Charlie St.Cloud"

Thanks to mom for sending me ALLLL those pretty colored sharpies! We had to keep the door open to write, so we froze, plus being hyped up on sugar and then working with sharpies sent us into a rage of laughter where I don't think we breathed for a good 30 minutes, if only barely.
If I don't have some amazing abs after this weekend I will be quite upset.

After all the laughter we settled down to introduce Clarissa to the show "Chuck" and watched 17 Again until Clarissa had to leave and I fell asleep on the couch.

Today we all had cold showers because "Luke Warm" took the place of "warm" today. =[ Anyway we had church but it was snowing really hard when we left so 6 of us packed in Nicole's TINY car then we couldn't find parking so we had to drive to the other side of campus but we took the long way plus the window kept fogging up. It was QUITE the adventure but we ended up parking by the girl dorms. Church was good and we came back and hung out and watched Psych until Rachel had to leave.

FUN WEEKEND! THE END!

Back to the adventures of poor college girls in REXBURG!

Once upon a time there were four roommates on Halloween weekend with not much to do on a Friday afternoon. So two of the girls decided to skip off to the gardens for one of the girls portrait photography project (yeah try saying that 10 times fast).

(Pretty pretty!)

After rolling through the leaves, making leaf angels

and making it rain leaves,

the girls skipped off down the hill (well actually they ran...) back to their warm apartment in excitement for a dear sister of one of the girls to come visit!

Katherine Wiscombe came up for the weekend to see her dear sweet sister, Cacia. So the four girls (Cacia, Alisa, Katherine and I (the others were gone for the night/weekend))were planning on going to "Nightmare Before Curfew" but they had a problem... they had.........no ride. (Insert creepy music "dun Dun DUUUUUN!")

But in the midst of their sadness at not being able to dance as wild animals, their tummies began to grumble, like hungry lionesses...the call of Little Caesar's pizza haunted them...and they gave in to the crazy bread and root beer craving.

The hungry girls devoured their lovely pepperoni pizza, crazy bread and root beer. But they knew one thing was missing.....

DESSERT!

And that satisfaction could only come from Sammy's pie shakes.

(For all you East Coasters and unfortunate people who have never heard of Sammy's. Sammy's is a restaurant that started down in Provo. They are famous for the 50's style eatery, loop around counter that you can sit at, or if you want some entertainment, you can sit in the next room and listen to the live band that is playing. They also have THE most AMAZING pie shakes and cupcake shakes EVER!!!!!! They literally use slices of pie or a cupcake in your shake.)

The girls entered into the crowd that filled Sammy's and made their way to the line to order the most heavenly pie shakes ever.

(This is the pumpkin cheesecake pie shake)

While enjoying their amazing shakes, in came four of the scariest sights you could possibly imagine......guys dressed up as Kiss! After taking in this bewildering image, the girls decided it was time to retire to their warm home. After getting home, the girls settled down to enjoy a goofy chick flick and headed off to bed, tummies satisfied and humor compensated until.....Saturday!

Waking up Saturday the 5 girls (Rachel returned) decided it was time for an adventure to

THE ICE CAVES

however

they had poor directions

and ended up in the middle of nowhere
"We're lost!"

but they found a magical door, which they then tried to open

only to find...

some cacti and a dead bird!

They left quickly, but not before exploring the abandoned grounds

(I just love this picture of Rachel and felt I needed to share it =D)

Feeling discouraged, they decided to go down the crazy, bumpy, muddy road to the Civil Court Caves

And headed deep down inside to see what they could find
(Believe it or not, a few weeks back there was a party in this cave called Cave Jam. This WHOLE thing was packed full of people! I didn't go but some of my roommates did, crazy people!)

After getting some better directions they headed for the ice caves!

But it began to rain and the road to the caves is long and VERY VERY VERY bumpy so they decided to go to the sand dunes instead.

However, not realizing how deep the sand was, while trying to park, they got stuck. They tried using branches to dig out the wheels and pushing but nothing worked. Finally they had to rely on the kind hospitality of two nice young men to pull the truck out of the sand.

After a long day they went back home to the quiet boredom of their apartment.

While lounging around some girls invited them to a party at Delta Fi or something like that...the girls lived on the floor above them and you could hear the music from across the street. However, the girls were quite worn out from their adventures and declined saying they might go out later.

But instead they decided to make homemade pizookie (pizza cookie)

Not wanting to share, some of them refused to call a few of the guys to help them eat it, though some of them knew they would not finish this massive cookie. But they ate most of it and it was the best pizookie they had ever made!

Feeling quite satisfied they sat down for a game of


MARIO PARTY 2!!!! on N64!

And they all failed due to not reading the instructions to the games, but had a great time laughing their heads off at their pathetic attempts to win.

Katherine kicked everyone's butt though she had never played before.

In the end the girls had a wonderful time laughing their heads off, whether in the car, going down ridiculous dirt roads, getting stuck in the sand or failing at the easiest games. It only goes to show, it is the simple things in life that make life worth it.

The End. (Until next time)
