Harry Potter

Sorry...Jim usually keeps this blog updated, and he is investing his time in his Homer Puzzle and his Harry Potter book.

The Homer puzzle is cool; and I like the fact that my husband reads so that is fine by me!

weekend

We had a crazy weekend including Jim's 27th birthday party where he got Omni Mash Prime and got to open his Homer Simpson puzzle - that is way cool, even for me.

When I asked Jim what he wanted at the party he said burgers - so I decided that I would make several kinds
A. Chicken burgers with thyme, oregano, rosemary, vinegar, garlic and a bit of olive oil
B. Regular burgers
C. Heart Attack Burgers - hot sauce, worchester, diced cheese hot dogs and bacon and cheese on top.
D. Chicago Diner Burger- mushrooms, oatmeal, soy sauce, garlic, onion, flour - these are really good for my first try at home made veggie burgers.


We also had watermelon, grilled veggies, chips, and ice cream and cake.

Redeye Chicago...

We've been posted in the local free Chicago magazine called "The Redeye." Krista responded with this after an article about a company advertising to pay for the engagement ring if someone proposed on the blue line.

Here's the quote:

CTA wedding day

My husband and I did not get engaged on the CTA, but I love it, so when he read your article ("Nothing says 'I love you' like the Blue Line," July 10 column by Kyra Kyles) he said to me: "I wish I had thought of that."

However, we did take the CTA from the church to our wedding dinner, along with about half of our wedding guests--15 or so--and our photographer. The best pictures from our wedding are actually [on] the CTA.

Sparkpeople

I joined this website that helps track fitness and nutrition goals - I like it and it is helping me so far.

My friend, Chris, recommended it to me.

Bueller...Bueller?

This was a fun read and makes me want to watch the movie again.

White House Chef

Some of you know that my goal used to be that I wanted to be the White House Chef - this was before I realized that until the current head chef you had to be a man - not that I would have let that get in the way. HOwever, I heard Chef Cris in an interview today - I still want her job!

I love cooking, and maybe it wouldn't be as fun if I had to do it. But, it seems like the dream job for me - and it will mostly stay in the dream category.

Tonight, I am making a green bean salad and chicken bbq burgers. I am excited!

B-day fun

Yesterday was my birthday. We had fun going minigolfing and I got to see the Kwik-E-Mart version of 7-11 here in Chicago it was an awesome thing to see. Had fun and I've had someone make such a big deal out of my birthday as much as Krista did which is nice.

At 7-11 I didn't get to take pictures as my camera was dead but I am a long time reader of a geek/80's website called X-Entertainment and he has an article with pictures on it. I had a lot of fun checking out the Simpson themed store and just had to buy a Squishee and a pink donut.

We went to a mini-golf/arcade place called Haunted Trails. We played a round of mini-golf. I lost by 1 point to my friend Sam.

Most of my birthday's with my parents were just me sitting around the house with a few friends while my father grilled and we usually went swimming...

Oh yah btw the Amazon link will be put up until my birthday party happens on the 21st.

ginormous

The other day I said the word "ginormous." Krista giggled and pointed out that there's no such word. I replied that there should be....

Lo and behold it's now in the dictionary

This conversation just happened something like a week ago....

Spuds

I love toys...just ask Krista. She's the first to point out to me the existence of

Optimash Prime!

On more kidlike toys I have been collecting Mr. Potato Head themed geekness. I currently have Spider-Spud and Darth Tater. I am looking forward getting, Spud Trooper, and Artoo-Potatoo.

Yes I know I'm a kid...
