twitter is here....

Ok so it all started when I was listening to NPR on the way to and from work this week. They were of course on the same topic, IRAN.

Both times they were discussing twitter and the information people get from the revolutionist via twitter. The DJ and the history specialist were talking about the validity of tweets depending on the the twittor. The specialist said something along the lines of he trusts that the tweet from a guy who has been on twitter for six months and has a history of tweeting political opinions about Iran and claims to live in Iran is someone that he would trust.

It got me thinking.... If there were ever large protests running through the streets of Ballwin, I think I would want to be apart of it. What if something crazy, street riot or not, happened and I could record the history via twittering. I want to be a viable source. So I'm starting to twitter....so that I may later join a revolution.

3 years later

I cooked Brian dinner for our 3 year anniversary and while the lasagna was baking I looked at my mess and realized that I'm like one of those kids that cooks for their parents but the parents come home and see the mess and are overwhelmed. Don't worry mom, I cleaned it up!


So I made this cake and it was delicious!!!! I made a two layer yellow cake. I also made chocolate pudding pie filling and used it in between the cake layers. Then I made more chocolate pudding and mixed some coolwhip with it and iced the cake. It is so easy and yummy...and full of tons of pudding!

This is one of the place settings...I tried to make it all fancy.

Yummy lasagna! It turned out really well. I had two big pieces for lunch today too.


I had these as place card settings. pretty cute huh...

Look at these gorgeous flowers Brian surprised me with after work!

I love him

Big Day

I am in the process of canceling my myspace page. I'm doing it because I have only used it a few times in the past year.

Who knew that it was such a process to cancel a social networking profile?

timeless

How do people take the most perfect pictures? This picture looks so timeless. It is one of those pictures that their kids will be fighting over who gets to put it in their house.

Maybe it is what they are wearing that makes it so timeless. I'm going to start wearing hats and scarves everywhere and make Brian wear a hat too just so we can be ready. We'll be ready to be doing an adorable activity like sparklers and ready for someone to want to take a quick snapshot of our perfect lives together.

That D*** Pool

ugh...
I have been responsible for the pool and hot tub for almost a week and a half now and it is hard work.

I have cried over the dumb thing twice now! If you know me at all you also know that this is not a big feat to be made.

The first time is when I found two dead mice in one of the skimmer pots. Brian had to come over and take care of it for me. I got a nice reminder this morning when I took the garbage out to the curb and thought to myself, "UGH what died in here! It smells so bad!...oh yeah two mice." Talking about it still makes this phenomenon occur in which my face contorts and my voice resort to a four-year-0lds.

The second of which happened today. Let me preface this with the fact that we have had a lot of rain in the past two days and more is in the forecast. When I came home from work this morning at 6:30am...I took a look at the pool and noticed the water level was very high. So when I got up after sleeping at 2pm I called my dad and he told me to back wash the pool...Long story short I got it stuck on some knob that we weren't sure what it did. So I had to ask my neighbor, whom I've never said anything besides hello to, to come over and help me! We could not figure out how to do it. So after a half an hour of phone calls and awkward conversation with the neighbor I got it back to were it started and the water level is still very high.
All that work for nothing!


Remember this is the normal level....


My dad calmed me down by telling me that if the pool over flowed it would be no worse than if we just had a patio in the back yard and all the leaves would probably flow out too!

Vacation Worthy Saturday...

This is what I did today...
I crocheted and listened to twilight...

All I have to say is, "Stupid Unreliable Vampire!"
....and I'm hooked.

Coming to a Head Near You

I can't wait for the rest of the summer...

Remember this last post about it?
