Clumsy

Sometimes Lots of times I'm clumsy. If you are a clumsy person like me, don't put your hamper within 2 feet of your bed. You will somehow roll off the bed (while awake) (how did I even do that?) onto the hard edges of the laundry basket and make some nice bruises on your legs. But, it's worth it because it was really funny.

I got one just below my knee, and one righ above my ankle, because that's how big my laundry basket is.

Frosting Brownies

When making the famous BYU mint brownies, make sure to do the following: 1) carefully read the directions, and 2) think rationally before making any decisions.

I made these brownies, followed the instructions, put them in the pan, then put them in the oven. All was well.

Then I went back and looked at the ingredients list. It listed chocolate frosting.

What??! I DIDN'T PUT ANY FROSTING IN THE BATTER! (Here is where I ignored rule #2)

I then took the brownies out of the oven, poured the batter back in the bowl, made some chocolate frosting really fast, mixed it in with the batter, and put it back in the oven.

Whew! That was a close one! Good thing it had only been in the oven for 5 minutes before I re-read the directions!

Then I made some mint frosting, and a second batch of chocolate frosting. Man, this recipe takes a lot of frosting.

The brownies were supposed to cook for 25 minutes, but they were still liquid at that point. They weren't done until 45 minutes had passed. Strange.

When I told the story to my mother, she thought it was odd that the recipe called for frosting in the batter.

I re-read the recipe.

HAH! IT DIDN'T CALL FOR FROSTING IN THE BATTER!

I didn't follow rule #1 or #2, and for about 10 minutes I was very stressed, and it made me make extra frosting, but in the end the brownies were delicious and sweet so it wasn't all that bad.

Hair Treasures

If you're not careful, you might accidently rip off your ear cuff when taking your shirt off. And if you do, you might spend the next 15 minutes looking all over the room/house (just in case!) for it, only to find out it was very secretly hidden in your hair.

The cuff that went missing.

The hair where the cuff was hiding.

There it is!!

How much?

I like to watch TV at a lower volume than David does. And this happened tonight.

David: "Want me to turn down the volume?"
*Red Lobster endless shrimp commercial starts*
Me: *Thinking about the volume level*
David: "How much?" (Talking at the TV, asking about the cost of endless shrimp)
Me: "What's it at?" (Talking about the volume)
David: "Red Lobster"

Sometimes misunderstandings make us laugh.

P.S. The deal is $16.99 for endless shrimp, in case you were wondering.

Sewing

You don't know back pain until you've tried sewing on the floor for a long period of time.

Queso

David: "Let's make queso dip to snack on."
Me: "Yum! Okay!"
*Buy ingredients*
*Make queso*

David and me: "Woah that's a lot of queso!"

Well, what do you expect from two pounds of Velveeta and a quart of buttermilk/milk/heavy cream? If you are me and David, then you don't think about the fact that it could feed an entire football team. I guess we're having queso dip for the next week of dinner.

Legoland

When I was 16 I go a job as a photographer at Legoland. While there I heard a rumor that for the last hour that the park is open they let anyone in for free. I had a pass to get in, so I never tested it out.

Fast forward 7 years and I want to take David to Legoland since we live 15 minutes away. I recall this whole "1 Free Hour" deal, so we check it out.

Nope. That's not a thing.

We didn't get in, but we still took a photo out front!
