Got Time to Kill?

One Satisfied Shopper!

I picked Christian up after work last night because we had a meeting with the bishop. However, we had about an hour to kill before our appt. To fill our time we first went to the city council meeting across the street from his work...they were advertising free food:) It was hilarious... after waiting 20 min. for food Christian was dished up about a sample size cup of chili and I got a fistful of salad (you had to choose salad or chili). We met some of our neighbors though, all of which over the age of 65. We then headed over to the church, but were lured into a 99cent store on the way over! As if we needed anymore junk in our tiny little apartment.

Home Alone

The scenery makes it much easier to run! New episodes...finally! The simple joys in life:

Christian went to Tampa, FL this weekend for Mike Field's wedding! Sadly, I had to work so I did what any other lonely wife would do to kill the time. I baked & ate lots of cookies and cake, went on a long run (10miles) at the beach in an attempt to burn off the prior activity, went shopping with my mom in downtown MB, drank obscene amounts of diet coke, and most importantly watched all the new Hills episodes..thank you parents for your TiVo (especially since we don't even have cable)!

Flipper??

The picture I TRIED to get
The picture I GOT!

We actually saw three dolphins riding a wave like this...a much smaller wave obviously:)

It was nearly 90 degrees this weekend so we hit the beach. While we were walking around trying to find a place to sit...we looked out in the ocean and there were dolphins EVERYWHERE. We probably saw about 20 and they were only a few feet offshore. We easily could have swam out to them! I frantically found the camera and starting shooting pictures. Sadly, between my parent's crappy old camera that we were borrowing and my sub-par photography skills I didn't get any pictures of the dolphins. Oh well, hopefully there will be next time!

Abracadabra!

Irma- The Piano

We went to the Magic Castle in Hollywood last weekend! While it might not seem like a big deal...you actually have to be a member, which runs $625/year, or know a member. We definitely fell into the latter category. Christian's friend from work got us on "the list". Once inside you are free to explore all over the castle and there are tons of little rooms with magic shows and magicians from all over the world. I think one of the magicians had a crush on Christian! Not only did he call him upstage to be his assistant, but after the show he snuck us into this special show that we needed additional tickets to! One of the highlights of the night was Irma. It's a piano that can literally play anything. You just talk to her, tell her what you want to hear, and off she goes.
