Girls Night Out.....Or In

It's that time again.....Girls Night Out with some friends. Once a month I get together with some friends from college. They of course are all married (some with kids) and need a night away so we get together and hang out. This time they came up to my house. We ate dinner, hung out, and played Loaded Questions (Adult Version). The hot tub was out of commission so unfortunately we didn't make it in. It's always fun getting together with the girls. We missed Val, Angie, and Heather.

By Popular Request....

So a few of my faithful viewers requested to see some more of my artwork. Since I have only been at my new hobby a short time there are just a few paintings. Here they are!

This was originally just brown. Tim suggested that I add orange to the picture and I like it.

I am still deciding if I like this one. Not quite sure.

I do really like this one though.

Oscars 2008

I was able to attend and Oscar Party last night at Rachel's house. I love the Oscars and look forward to them each year. In the past I have been able to see most of the movies up for nomination, but this year I only saw one or two. For those of you that missed out on this wonderful event.....here are a few of the winners.

Daniel Day Lewis-Best Actor for There Will Be Blood

Juno - Best Original Screen Play

Marion Cotillard- Best Actress- La Vie En Rose

No Country for Old Men (The Cohen Brothers)- Best Director/Best Picture

**I would have loved to see Juno win more because I absolutely loved the movie, but unfortunately it didn't. :(

Roommate Breakfast

Starting from left: Hilda, Miaken, Nikelle, and Miriam

We decided to get together and have a roommate breakfast. We had waffles, eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, sausage, eggs, OJ, and cinnamon rolls. I don't think that we had enough food, but we some how finished being totally overstuffed. It was great roommate bonding time!

Road Trip!!!

Kara, Kristen, Cooper, Sophie, and I all hopped in the mini van and road tripped it down to the small town of Ephraim. This isn't exactly the road tirp you are all thinking of, but it was still a 2 hour drive so we considered it a road trip. We drove down to go to my cousin Andrew's wedding reception. I didn't take my camera in to the reception so these are all the pictures you are going to get.

Kara and Kristen....don't worry we are stopped at a red light!

Izzie got a new rock!

For those of you that don't know I have a lizzard named Izzie. I decided that he needed a change in his atmosphere so I bought him a new rock. I wasn't sure if he would fit under it, but it looks like he does and I think he likes it.

You can kind of see him hiding underneath the rock. His tail is extremely fat these past few days because he has had some great cricket meals. Yum!

My New Hobby....

I have decided to become an artist of some sort. This is my most recent painting even though it is not quite done. I have to add another coat of paint, but you get the idea. I am really into painting shapes (probably because it is really easy). I have painted a few other ones and I can't decide which one I like the best.
