Can I be you for Halloween?

I have absolutely no idea what to be for Halloween!

I have been Tinkerbelle.

A Garbage Fairy

An 80's Rockstar!

A Gangsta!

80's Again...what can I say, I Love The 80's!

A Goth!

Maybe I will wear my new 80's dress....but then I wouldnt be very creative, would I?

(Note: 2 of these costumes were from themed parties...not halloween)

Slight mishap...

I just realized that in I am Legend they are not zombies...more like scary bald bodied vampires. So ummmm sexy?

I forgot about THE CRAZIES! I absolutely loved this film; the new one that is! I have yet to see the old version, but I hear that its not as good.

It kind of reminded me of cabin fever with the "infected" water taking over the population. Though there was no flesh eating bacteria attacking anyone. Instead the town turned into pyscho killers! It was frightening.

The 2nd victim was the father...I would be scared if my husband was going around the house with a knife... he locks me in the closet only to leave me(and my son)...to set the house on fire. Gosh, horrible.

And the pitchfork scene brought chills down my spine. I had no idea when he was going to stop...Defenseless people getting killed by a pitchfork. How can you get out of that one?

Smart idea...lets hide in a car washing station.

I was constantly on edge, only because I am a jumpy person.

did my heart love til now?

Oh hamburgers, how I love thee!

There are so many hamburger joints that I love.

McDonalds and Jack in the Box may be cheap, but they do not have the greatness of these places.

Nations, In-n-Out, Dicks, Herfys, Hamburger Harry's and now my new favorite....FIVE GUYS!

My first time was crazy. I was very stupid and decided to order the double bacon cheeseburger and a large fries. Let me just say that I have the bottomless pit of a stomach. Little did I know that the burger would be Gigantor (I could barely get my mouth around it) and the fries were literally falling out of the bag.

I had to be carried out of the place because I was so full.

.

It was one of the most delicious burgers I have had in awhile. The meat was juicy (two patties that is)...the bun tasted scrumptious. The peanut oiled fries were crunchy yum yum. Hehe, I asked for everything on it...sometimes I feel like a pig, but then I realize that the burger is $6 so why not go all out?

I highly recommend!

Frankly speaking

Rhonda finally got her new kitten! His name went from Piglet to Rupert, to finally, Frank! I still can't believe that he is actually here...7 weeks old

He is the cutest little kitten. I must admit that I am not a cat person. I am a dog person all the way. But you have to love this little guy...

Problems are arising...Gabby is obsessed with Frank. She will burrow her nose into him, lick him to death and then smother him with her little body. Its quite annoying.

We put the lector mask on Gabby...

She looked pretty pathetic. I remember having to put Hannibal Lector mask on Bailey, the chihuahua when she attacked the other chihuahua, jasmine.

Even with the mask she still kept on nose butting Frank. I have no idea how Frank is going to survive the Gabsters.

Well atleast Frank is a climber...He climbed all the way up

Ryans leg just to get into the sink. Maybe this will be the only way to escape the attacking weener dog.

Frank and I decided to take a chill pill into the family room. We had to stare at Gabby and hear her constant panting. What to do? How will we keep our sanity?

Frank and I were trapped!

We must take a stand!

Or else we will turn into couch potatoes...

Oh and there is another problem...Sully, the other cat absolutely hates Frank. He HISSES with a passion. He snapped!

Note to customer

There is something that I need to share

The costco business center is no longer accepting coupons

Please pass this on...

Who would have thought

...that I would enjoy an egg dish so much.

I have never been an egg lover. If you give me an egg by itself I will smother it. I will be polite and eat it but I will most likely not enjoy it. You must compliment it with something crunchy, bacony or give me a side of ketchup. Otherwise, I will whine (inside) until I finish the meal.

Ryan made breakfast for me! Eggs Benedict it was! Who wouldn't love the combination of english muffin, canadian bacon, poached egg and hollandaise sauce. It was my first time!

I've always wanted to try a sample of hollandaise sauce. For some reason I thought it would taste like sweet gravy. I'm not really sure where I got that idea. Man, that was some good sauce. It had a zippy tang flavor (took me awhile to realize that Ryan put lemons in the sauce). I'm glad that I don't diet (I love to eat too much to even consider giving it up), otherwise, I would be breaking a lot of rules.

BUTTER*EGG YOLKS*SALT*LEMON *PEPPER

I hope I get Eggs Benedict in the future.

I can't get enough

When I really want to watch a movie what do I usually put on?

Zombie movies!

I'm not sure why I like them so much, but they thrill me.

The oldest zombie film that I saw had to be the 1968 version of Night of the Living Dead.

It was so ridiculous that I had to laugh.

The blonde chick arrives and automatically I want her to die. All she did was scream like a dying cat.

"They're coming to get you Barbra!"

Scream Shock Scream Shock

Of course I must wait until the end of the movie for Barbra to be taken away by the living dead.

Shaun of the Dead makes me happy :)

Maybe its Simon Pegg or maybe its the british. Either way, it happens to be one of my favorites.

Dont stop me now, don't stop me now...because we're having a good time!

Whack Whack Whack!

"David, kill the queen!"

Then there was Resident Evil

I had no idea what I was in for. The whole time I was watching this film I wondered when the infected would appear. The little girl freaked me out...the devil dogs freaked me out. O and the crazy computer that chopped everyone up into little pieces freaked me out. MILLA is the best (she rocked in fifth element)

Pet Sematary was so bad but you had to continue watching it. I remember loving it as a kid (but yeah its much different now). What kid wouldn't love seeing their dead pets come back to life? Come on!

Fido, though strange, was actually quite refreshing. I want to tame a zombie!

And how about Quarantine?

This movie had me on the edge. I'm not sure if it was the camera mode or the fact that there was no signal to let me know that something scary was about to occur. All I know is that I was scared. The freaky zombie baby made me even more afraid of the attic...darn baby!

Zombieland :) puts me in a zombie killing mood

The rules cracked me up. Hehe, beware of bathrooms - "Don't let them catch you with your pants down".

I loved Bill Murray. even though he got shot for "pretending" to be a zombie.

I AM LEGEND made me depressed, possibly because I loved his dog, Sam. Hearing Bob Marleys song lyrics brought tears to my eyes.

28 Days Later is a goose chase.

I definitely would not enjoy waking up from a coma in a deserted hospital only to find that London has been contaminated with the "rage" disease. Oh yeah! Kill me crazy!

Köttbullar

Ryan's first meal: Köttbullar

Swedish meatballs are by far my favorite meal growing up. Who doesn't like meat in ball form? Well I guess the answer would be vegetarians. Each Christmas my family would have a smorgasbord ("Christmas table") which included a variety of my favorite dishes.

Across the room you would find:

• Sill (herring)
• Salmon
• Devilled eggs
• A variety of salad dishes
• Sliced meats
• Pickled beets (which grossed me out)
• Cucumber slices
• Swedish meatballs (my mama cooked them in a crock pot covered in creamy goodness)
• Small sausages
• Janssons temptation (which is my daddy's specialty - its a scalloped potato dish mixed with a generous amount of cream, butter and anchovies)
• Red cabbage (I always mistook this as seaweed)
• Dry crisp bread
• Rye bread
• A wide assortment of cheese
• Lutefisk (This is not the most appealing dish, but it makes my dad happy)
• Glogg (mulled wine)
• Rice pudding

I still wish that we had smorgasbords. We must reignite the Christmas table!

IKEA is the closest I am ever going to get to Sweden ( well for now). Every time my family would make a special trip to "shop" I would go straight to the cafeteria to order the 10 piece meatball combo This combo included the usual swedish meatballs, potatoes, lingonberries and a beautiful roll (which became my dipping roll). People cannot believe that I can eat that much food...little

do they know that you can add 5 more meatballs for only a dollar. I usually added the 5 meat balls just because I could. What is a hungry girl going to do? Buy more! Of course I would regret ordering the extra meatballs afterwards. IKEA is a maze! Remember to follow the arrows and look for signs so you will not miss your exit.

Ryan was looking through his school cookbook and found a recipe for Swedish meatballs. What a great first meal! After a week of school I could see so much improvement within his cooking. Everything was so yummy. The mashed potatoes were delectable...so creamy and fluffy with a hint of garlic. The meatballs were huge and full of flavor. Nothing is worse than

a flavorless meatball. I could smell the onions. I love onions. The gravy was not thick, but that did not really matter seeing how savory every bite was. I did miss the lingonberries though...at least the broccoli was there hehe :)

I cannot wait until his next dish!

The Day After

After a two day sale there will be a struggle to survive the day after.

The entire front end acted like zombies.

I looked like a mess.

I could barely function.

I wanted to attack anyone who brought up expo.

I was pale as ever and sounded like a rock got stuck in my throat

Thus zombie.

What happened today?

Several people will most likely call in "sick". Some may just walk out...

Oh man, I thought that the door counts would be considerably low seeing that EXPO was packed. Nope, they were HIGH.

I was at the American Express table for 30 minutes. I hardly spoke and as a result I got one person to sign up. Boo yah!

Hey we didnt start the fire!

The gas station attendant is by far the worst job position ever. Here are some dumb things people have done

• One took the gas nozzle out while still holding down the trigger. Gas all over.
• One filled up their gas cans in the trunk of there car.
• why do people top off? The reason the gas stops A flowing is because it reached the top of the tank. Another guy spilled lots as a result...

I do not like being shooshed!
