I've Got Mad Skillz... Yo

This past Sunday, I walked into work and was informed that my coworker Matt was looking for me; I found him grinning ear to ear in the hallway holding a pile of baggy clothing. To explain: Matt is from Michigan, and I am from Connecticut. Michigan State and UCONN just played in the college basketball tournament, and we had made a little wager on the outcome-- loser had to wear whatever the winner brought in for the entire day of work. UCONN lost :( Matt decided to dress me in (his phrase) "Michigan Gangsta." It was an interesting work day, to say the least :P (Especially trying to mop in the men's size TWELVE shoes!! (To put it in perspective, I'm a mere size 5 in men's!)) Enjoy my transformation!

Playing Catch Up

The other day I baked delicious blue/straw-berry muffins. I decided to cut the sugar from the recipe and hoped that the fruit would compensate. They turned out tasting somewhat like biscuits, and they were delicious with a little honey or jam! I'm all in favor of experimenting!


It has been a good food week overall- on Tuesday, Nicole and I went to the Creamery and bought the delicious Sundae of the Month: Fried Oreo... Mmmm :)


Exciting news: I FINALLY finished my major advertising project!! This project has been a PAIN!! For my advertising class, we were sorted into groups and assigned a product to do an entire campaign on: my group got Blockbuster.com. I volunteered to put everyone's work together into the book, but I ended up editing and writing a lot more than I was supposed to. (Case and point- I was in the library for SIX HOURS one day working on it!!) Anyways, it was all just one problem and set back after another, including Word deleting my font and the printers messing up, but when it was finally done, I practically danced all the way home! (Speaking of dancing, I LOVE my final dance for Intro to Modern-- I'm not a dancer, but I love our joyous celebration of life and the gospel... maybe a video to come?)

On Friday, Nicole and I went to Dew, a little restaurant near our apartment and drank delicious hot chocolate while it was snowing (yes- SNOWING... in APRIL!!) and indulged in a "molten lava" chocolate dessert and superb creme brulee.... major YUM! I highly recommend it.

We also hung out with our friend from Connecticut- Tito Hardy- this past weekend. On Friday, we went to the BYU men's volleyball game (our first, and the last of the season) and then went dancing. The dance was waaay fun, with great music and high energy!!! It was held at Seven Peaks, of all places! Then, yesterday, we introduced him to Creamery ice cream and watched a movie on our next door neighbor's (The White House) couch :)

(totally tired!!)

This past weekend was also General Conference. I really appreciate this weekend as a rejuvinating boost for the year! I might have fallen asleep at points (cough, cough), but I truly love hearing from our prophets :)

Till next time- I have to go to work!!!
