I NEEEEEED to watch this tonight. Need, need, need.

I have to watch this tonight. Let's talk about how this is my favorite cartoon movie of. all. time. And how I always watch the "Boys/Girls of Rock and Roll" at least twice every time I watch it. I can't help it. I turn back into a five-year-old. And I love it. Thank you, 1987. :)

Just a few of the moments I plan on whole-heartedly enjoying. Who doesn't love Alvin, Simon, and Theodore?? (That's not an invitation to tell me you hate them. Don't do it! Let my childhood live on in its blissful state!!!)

In other news, we made a turkey last night. Okay, we clearly didn't "make" it. We cooked it. And it was delicious. Happy Thanksgiving, January! :) Also, Aubs made home-made cranberry sauce. *heaven* And we had real mashed potatoes. And stuffing. And rolls. Hellloooo, leftovers. :)

Also, Aubs and I went to a Utah Grizzlies game on Friday (that's hockey, in case you didn't know...). She got free tickets to the game and free dinner beforehand, so we decided to go partake of the free goodness. The dinner was fine; can't complain...remember the free part? Okay, then. :) But then the game was...interesting. With a very rude, very annoying, very outspoken heckler a few rows away from us (surrounded by his small children, I might add...) and obnoxious (understatement) Idaho Steelers fans right in front of us in their pink jerseys and loud cowbells...let's just say it didn't help that the Utah Grizzlies weren't performing very well and leave it at that.However, in an effort to still enjoy our surroundings, we started reading these hilarious fashion books Aubs had bought that day. (I know, I know...fashion books at a hockey game?? We deserve what happened next...) Don't worry...the Grizzy mascot stomped up behind us, shut our books, and demanded we watch the game!!!! Hahahahahah!!!! I'm not sure what was more entertaining...the fact he shut our books, (pretty funny) or the fact he was supporting such a crappy team. :) I wonder how much he gets paid...

Then the row in front of us turned into sloshing, beer-guzzling dudes, so we left pretty soon after that. I sometimes want to point out that their drink costs them $9+ while my most expensive soda pop or water bottle only costs 1/3 of that price. I'm just sayin'. But then again, if I would only pay 3x that much, I could slosh around and yell stupid things too!! Yippeeee!!!

I think I'll keep my cheaper, non-sloshy life, thanks. I miss the good 'ol days of Utah State Hockey games! *sigh* Those were good times. :)

Then we got lost in the foggy sick air on our way home. It was a new adventure. We both had never been so happy to find the freeway! Seriously. Couldn't see a thing!

Sorry if there are any deeply offended Utah Grizzly fans out there. I tried to enjoy your team...
Saturday night, we also went ice-skating with our stake. I forgot how much FUN it is!!! I wasn't as bad as I remembered myself being...*thank you*thank you* Note to self: go back soon.

Okay, I'm done. Over and out.

Today's distractions...

1. The semi-crazy lady with awkwardly good intentions who works on my floor stopped me today, once again, to introduce me to her son by saying "Sweetie!! Don't you think she looks like (insert a boy's name who apparently is one of her sons' best friends...yeah, you read that right.)?!?!??! The poor boy then tries to explain that I look like I could be in his bff's family. There are pretty girls in this family, he says. Stammering. While his mom continues to try to prove her point, much to his embarrassment as well as my own. Don't worry - this is about the fourth time she has made this comparison. Only...the first time, she tried to set us up on a date. Because she thought he would like me. Because I look like I could be his bff's sister?! Ack and ugh! REALLY!?!?! Hahahhahaa....
   
2. Whenever it rains, I just want to be curled up with a good book. Today is no exception. But hey - I have a job, I love it, and I should be/am grateful.
   
3. Today, I really need chocolate. Not a lot, but a definite store within my reach. And yes. For obvious reasons.
   
4. Along those same lines, the ice in my water melted really fast today. The audacity. Normal, natural occurrence, yes. So why was I irritated and felt it should have asked my permission!? Ooohoohooh, boy. :)
5. I caved and joined a gym. Finally!! It's been making me crazy, and it's far too cold for me to go running outside. I don't enjoy freezing. I also don't enjoy fighting the BYU masses in the teeniest, tiniest little gym I've ever seen. Even if it IS free!!!
6. FHE tonight. If I go, (and I will) this will make the second week in a row. Staggering stats, I know. But progress is progress. :)
   
7. Must. Get. Library. Card.
8. Jaylene brought chocolate milk today. LOVE her.
   
9. I can't wait for: Savior of the World w/Cali, Carrie Underwood concert (w/roomies!), THANKSGIVING (yams, stuffing, turkey..mmmmmm good!) All this month. :)
10. And for CRYING OUT LOUD, could BYU please just supply me with ONE graduate program that gets me excited enough to go back to school, but will let me keep my job at the same time?! I don't understand why this is so difficult. Makes me downright grumpy.
