An Act of Desperation

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Tonight when we got home from work I convinced Aaron that it would "be fun" to put together the grill Sarah and Dal got us for Christmas.

I have been dying to try out the grill, and when planning meals for the week, before I went shopping last week, planned several that would include the use of said grill. However I didn't bother to look at the weather forecast, and I'm sure you are all as painfully aware as I am (now) that the weather has not been all that conducive for my BBQing purposes.

The equation in my mind goes something like this,
BBQ= Sun, Sun- cold-snow-mud+warm temperatures= happy Halley.
It was sort of the whole "Field of Dreams" approach, you know "if you build it they will come." "If you BBQ it will be warm." Still, I'm not quite sure where I went wrong...

Well I was going to post some pictures of tonight's festivities, however I went to turn the camera on only to find the batteries had died, and of course everything we own happens to operate on AAA's instead of AA's, which I swear changes every time I need batteries!!!

Urg! oh well perhaps if I'm feeling inclined tomorrow I'll go get some... I wouldn't hold my breath though.

And So It Has Begun

Orange,
Tears of frustration,
Sweltering heat,
Orange,
Slowing to a stifling agonizing crawl,
Irritation, dehydration, desperation setting in,
More orange,
How I hate those orange barrels!!

Yes ladies and gentlemen, road construction in I15 north bound has once again commenced!
BLAST!!!!

Winner Winner

Today was a first for Aaron and me. As we were driving to work together this morning we were listening to our favorite radio morning show on X96, when they asked the trivia question.

"What was Bella covered in when she woke up the first morning on their Honeymoon?"

So I blurted out the answer as any true twilight reader would. Aaron had this incredulous look on his face, as if to say "those books are SOO lame." I then said jokingly that he should call in, long story short, he did and we WON!!

I'm still not all that sure what exactly we won, but we were both pretty stoked just that we won.

I also got a good chuckle out of the fact that he was the one that called in and gave the answer, now everyone who listens to that particular morning show thinks he reads those "lame books!"

Spring

I absolutely love the spring. I love everything about it, when all the world wakes up and comes to life again after the long cold winter.

I love the smell of the grass, and the smell of the earth after a long rain storm. I love all of the things that springs brings back. Warmth, baseball, flowers, birds, neighbors and kids outside working and playing in their yards. Everything is so vibrant and so fresh.

Spring to me is like God's way of saying "one more time."
