Harry Potter

This is so much better on the big screen, but I am so excited for this movie. Only 49 days left!

Why Chris and I were meant to be together

Both Chris and I took the ACT twice and the SAT.

We got the same exact score. Every. Time.

For reals.

Brownie Edges

Here is something I don't get.
Do people really only like the edges of brownies? I don't. I eat the edges last, or I give them away. Sometimes I feel guilty about it, but if people really just like the edges, then I won't anymore.

Yes Poo

It didn't last very long. Today would have been 5 days without using shampoo. This morning I tried to rinse my hair with baking soda. But it didn't really work that well. My hair was gross and looked like I hadn't showered in forever. So I shampooed, and my hair looks so clean.

I think I still want to try it eventually. I know that it usually takes at least two weeks for the oil to stop building up, but I didn't want to wait that long. Maybe if I didn't have to go out in public or if I could wear a baseball cap everywhere.

No Poo

There is a new phenomenon going around. People are going without Shampoo. So forever, others just limit their "poo" usage.

People who have tried it say it especially works on curly/wavy hair. I have curly/wavy hair somewhere. I just have never been able to get it curly without it being really short or have a professional do it.

Well, I am thinking about doing it. I already only wash my hair every other day. So it wouldn't be so hard. I would still rinse it everyday, and rinse it with baking soda or apple cider like once a week.

I figure this weekend is good to try since it is longer. If I hate my hair by Monday night, I will wash it.

SYTYCD

Which stands for "So You Think You Can Dance?

It starts tomorrow. I suffered through the worst season of American Idol ever to finally get to this day. The SYTYCD premiere is tomorrow. I cannot wait to see who will be riding the Hot Tamale Train.

In honor of SYTYCD, here are my favorite dances. My favorite season has been Season 3, and my favorite dancers are Sara and Neil. Hopefully this season will be as good as Season 3.





And I hope they do more Bollywood this year. I think they will, especially after Slumdog Millionaire.

Couponing

I have been half attempting to coupon for the last month and a half. I haven't been very successful. Mostly because I went to the store with 4 or 5 coupons that I was determined to use, just to find out that item was sold out. (Because everyone else in Utah County is trying to get the same item.)

Well, I went to Albertson's on Monday with a list and all my coupons. I walked out with $219 worth of groceries for $105! That over 50% savings.

And, I am not wasting them. In the past week and a half, we have only ate out once. And that was for Chris's Tucanos birthday meal. With all the food I have in the kitchen, I bet I could make it 2 weeks without going to the grocery store (except for milk.) However, then I would miss out on all the deals at Albertson's this week.

Also, we are slowing building up some food storage. All we need is a can opener and we would have plenty of soup to break out.

Fail

This picture made me laugh out loud.

American Idol Live

Ryan just announced that Chris Allen will be in the final 2 for American Idol!

Is Danny going home?

I thought for sure it would be Chris but....

Danny is going home! Yeah! Now I am actually a little bit excited about next week's finale.

Oh, and we are not saying goodbye to "one of the bests."

(Oh, and what's with my triple posts per day?)

Parallel Parking

I parallel parked for the first time on Saturday. I went to the Provo Farmer's Market and couldn't find a parking spot where I wouldn't have to. I usually don't go places where I know I have to parallel park without Chris, but he was at his GRE prep course, so I had to brave it on my own. and I got it on my first time! I pulled up next to the car in front, turned the steering wheel a hard right and straightened out.

As you can tell, I had plenty of room, but it doesn't seem that way in the rear view mirror. I'll have to practice so that I can someday fit into a smaller space.
