golden ponds and colorful car washes

FRIDAY: It was a good mail day. Our newest terrible towel came in - decorated in shamrocks! That's right, we now own a St. Patrick's Day terrible towel. Neither of us are Irish but our anniversary is on 3/17 so I can't help but buy certain St. Patty's stuff.

Sam came over and hung out for a bit. We watched you tube videos and then ended the night with a viewing of The Life Aquatic. Dustin and I are obsessed with all movies Wes Anderson and Sam couldn't remember if she had seen it or not so we threw that DVD in faster than you could say Team Zissou.


SATURDAY: Had my ass kicked at yoga! I had a lot of balance issues this time around which lead to a lot of laughing. AND even more falling over.

Later that day my mom came over to watch 'On Golden Pond'. I bought my mom the DVD for Christmas because it's one of a handful of movies she always talks about. I had never seen it so I was kind of excited. She is always trying to get me to watch older movies and she has definitely introduced me to some good ones (Urban Cowboy, Love Story, Stir Crazy etc.). On Golden Pond was good. It started a little slow I thought but overall it was good. It was sad to watch the main character, Norman Thayer, cope with the struggles of getting older. He was really grumpy from it all. It really had an impact on me. I'm technically still youthful as a 26 year old but it had me really wanting to live even more so. I don't want to waste any time on things that can't be changed and things that just don't matter. It all goes by so fast. Right now, I'm 26 but soon enough (if I'm lucky) I'll be part of the elderly club too. It also made me realize there is no such thing as a perfect age. Each age has comes with it's own hardships but you just make the best of it.

Dustin and his team of Buds ended up winning ANOTHER championship game too! That's back to back championships and TWO banners. High five buds!

And Dustin let me edit a video using his Mac! He's kind of protective of his baby so I was super excited he let me have it for hours. The toughest part for me was using a laptop - I hate all laptops. It's just a preference of mine but I am very devoted desktop user. The other issue was the obvious - getting used to the way Macs do things. I don't know how many times I googled how to do something. Google and I reached a whole new level of friendship that night. I want a Mac so bad! So so bad. In time.




SUNDAY: After breakfast, we both drove down to get our cars washed. We were still kind of tired so we opted to just drive them through. I had NEVER driven through a car wash myself in my life. Sure, I've been in the car while other people got their car washed but I was always kind of scared of them. Not really sure what I was scared of but I thought I might end up like Christopher Lloyd in 'Camp Nowhere'. But who knew car washes could be so pretty?


I watched the Oscar pre-show, well actually I switched back and forth between the pre show and a show about the history of the White House staff. Both were very entertaining! Seriously! My favey fave looks were Michelle Williams, Jessica Chastain, & Ellie Kemper ! Go pretty pale girls! Who needs a tan when pale looks so good? The actual show was so awful. Billy Crystal wasn't funny. Harry Potter lost both categories it was nominated for. It had no spunk or flare - and if Jennifer Aniston taught us anything it's that you need all the flare you can get. We decided to just go ahead and tune in to the newest episode of Walking Dead which by the way was awesome.

Usually, I'm all sad when Monday barges in so suddenly but not this time around! Only 3 days of work then 4 days of serious fun. What. Up.
