Don't Forget

Hindi Zahra - Don't Forget

State Fair

Last night Clark and I went to the State Fair with his brother Charles, his wife Krystal, and their baby Carter.  It was $1 to get in that afternoon and we live a few blocks away, so we figured, why not!

We had fun watching Carter while Charles and Krystal went on some rides.  He is the funniest little kid!!  Always has a smile (except in this pic).

We were shocked at how trashy all the kids there were dressed, and we got a good laugh out of a lot of crazy people.  Sounds mean, but I'm just being honest. (I always hate it when people use that as an excuse for a mean joke, but it's different when you don't know the person???)

Clark and Charles waiting for Mega Drop :) 

I'm not too scared for that ride, but I'm not a fan of my heart racing.  I get enough of that with my meds.  It was fun watching their feet dangling though. :)

And a picture of a bat.  Just for fun. 

Great Balls of Fire!!

So we are finally in our new place! I am LOVING the big kitchen! It was so great that it only took us a few hours to move! 

In other news, Clark and I can't get enough of this video!   Enjoy!

Obsessive

I came across this book the other day and it made me smile.  I absolutely LOVED this book. 


I don't know why. 


Most of the pictures are black and white, it's kind of weird, and so are the pictures (see flying bunny below). 


I loved it so much I had it memorized.  I know this because I recited the whole book to my mom once when she refused to read it to me. 

Of course I asked her while she was making dinner, but looking back I'm sure she was sick of me asking her to read it every single day when I was pretty old to be reading such a kids book.

Which brings me to 7 Brides for 7 Brothers.  I'm sure if my family is reading this right now, they are already checking out.  I watched this movie so much my family would hide the VHS.  I doubt any of them have fully recovered from it. 


And oh, how they made me mad.


When I played dress up with my cousin Jessica I usually insisted that we pretend we were from that movie and my name was always Dorcus. (Don't laugh, Dorcus was with Benjamin, and she was pretty, and so was her dress--see girl on the far right for those of you that are stupid--she's far more poised than the others, and she's not even a dancer--which is why she's in the back)

This was our favorite scene.  We'd jump on the end of the bed to pretend we were being caught like they were in this scene. 


There's an old family picture (I wish I still had it so I could post it) and in the background on the t.v. is an image of girls dancing in their bloomers.


My family couldn't stand this movie because of my obsession.  But really?  I still can't get enough.


Which brings me to Cinderella.  (this is my favorite of all her outfits, don't judge)


I was over at my sister-in-law's house today and my niece Lizzy (4) asked me what my favorite movie was.  Well, I told her 7 Brides of course, and she had no idea what I was talking about and asked what my favorite movie was at her age.  Well, I told her it was still the same answer.  (Kristen, come on!  It's a classic)  So then I told her Cinderella and how MEAN my family was in hiding it.  I'm pretty sure my niece thinks I'm crazy.  And looking back on my obsessions, I'm beginning to agree.

My family used to hide Cinderella from me as well.  Nothing made me more angry than to come home from school and find my 2 favorite movies missing.


And it happened a lot.

Musique

Clark and I are STILL waiting to move. We are having our new apartment sprayed multiple times before moving in. The manager Clark is replacing put the bed bugs there on purpose out of anger. He laughed about it and told some tenants.

Nice.


In other news, I have a job interview today! Wish me luck!

Nothing better than listening to good music while getting ready! This is my new fav.


Enjoy!!
