Thoughts

This Valentines day, I was sick as a dog. Not really, but I had a horrendous cold.  Reid asked me to be his, I mean her Valentine this year, and I was happy to oblige.  Sometimes people tease us that we are connected at the hip, but whatever.  We are.

We had a nice Valentines day filled with heart shaped pizza from Brick Oven and the only thing that I MIGHT love more than Reid herself: Brick Oven Rootbeer.

Chuck Bass also made an appearance.  He's been doing that for the past month or so.  He knocks on our door, so we let him in and then he doesn't leave for way too many hours. Overstays his welcome.  All the same, I loved this Valentine that Shannon shared on Facebook.  So Chuck.

I've had it with the "Cougar Eat." I'm not kidding I can't eat there one more day.  Luckily Reid discovered that they have CORN DOGS at the bowling alley downstairs.  Usually I just walk home and eat, but neither of us could pass this up.  Reid loves the great vibes in there... So do I.

 It's always a good day when there are wigs involved.

We went to Sonic way too late the other night, and Caitlyn had the classic fat kid moment.  She dropped her entire Ice Cream cone on the FLOOR.  Allison asked the guy if she could get a new one. He said no. And then he gave her a new one...

Also, Sonic has THEEEE best real fruit slushies. Get one.

I love my niece and nephews.  I went on a date last weekend with THIS guy:

and literally within the first 5 minutes he said to me "I promise my niece and nephews are cuter than yours, Andrea"  HELLO! Everybody thinks their own nieces and nephews are the cutest ones, so don't talk to me about who is cuter here, buddy.

Laughing is the absolute ultimate. Just like Gidget.  Sometimes it gets the best of Reid and me.  This morning after stats, we laughed for an entire 10 minutes straight about a Gorilla Suit...  Then I sent her this picture and we continued to laugh, even though we weren't together.

I have a friend, Kristine, who loves going to movies after school.  It's like a night time thing, or something you do when you have a lot of time on your hands, but you just go to a quick showing after school.  Well, that's how I feel about snowboarding.  Robert, Allison and I had a quick trip to Sundance after class today and it's was a treat.  Not to mention the treat that I bought in the lodge while we were there, WHEWIE!

Also, I have a bruise on my arm from Allison pinching me while we were getting off the lift for the 400th time.  Intentional.  She has a hard time with the second stop...

Reid is on a date right now.  He shows up at our door Sunday night, Reid is in a blanket. He asks if she's sick and she says no.  She's never talked to the guy.  He asks her if he can call her on Tuesday and ask her out for Wednesday.... She says sure.  He says he hopes he doesn't interrupt any Valentines dates. (Only her date with me and Chuck Bass, but go ahead).  He calls on Tuesday:

"He Allison, I was thinking we could just get some ice cream or something. Super quick.  We can just chat and get to know ya a little bit."

Is this a date, or a bishop's interview...?

Happy Wednesday! I'm off to barb. AKA, Zumba Tone.  AKA, me getting ripped.

Fat Kid Chocolate Cake

Last weekend, Allison and I competed in a vigorous competition for:

A LIFETIME SUPPLY OF FREE MAGLEBYS CHOCOLATE CAKE.

You read that correctly. A LIFETIME.

(My friends and I in High School used to call this cake "Fat Kid Chocolate Cake" and that is just what it is).

We got to watch part of the first half from underneath the tunnel.  It was a sold out game, so we had a full house.

We began the competition with a strategy in mind.  We were going to get as much of the cake in our hair as we could, simply to get rid of it faster.

Unfortunately, we only walked away with a $25 gift certificate each to Maglebys.  But we sure got messy.  Our opponent had a pretty crazy great strategy himself, and ate his cake like a literal watermelon...  But hey, cake and great memories nonetheless. 

"It took us 3 days and a whole bottle of shampoo to get the stripper cake out of our hair."

Not really, but it did take a good 10 minutes in the bathroom at halftime, where there were 50 ladies asking us why the heck we were such a mess, and what they possibly could have missed.

Unfortunately, the rookie from Maglebys told me to turn my back to the student section, "so we could get all the angles...." So, pardon my view here.  But check out Allison's Bob Malooga technique here. 

So fantastic.
