Brandon is on a bad-80's-movies kick.

I should have known I would be subjected to watch these types of things. I mean, the night of our first date we came back to his place to watch "Powder" -- ya know, the movie with the kid whose mom was struck by lightning and he was magnetic. A few weeks later he rented Edward Scissor Hands (aka the weirdest movie ever made).

Fast-forward to this week:
I made chocolate chip cookies and then took a shower. While I was in there, Boston managed to eat all the cookies while Brandon ran to the video store.

And, what did he come home with?
-The Breakfast Club: simple story line, study dialogue, and sappy/pseudo-emotional ending.
-Howard The Duck: I have managed to avoid seeing this so far.

Anyway, I imagine he will continue to want to watch these movies. So, I am wondering if any of you have any suggestions for our future endeavors. The more ridiculous, the better... Like: Labyrinth.

Suggest away! Or you can just reminisce about your past favorites... this can include TV shows (Mr. Belvedere, Who's the Boss).

Trying to have a baby

It should only take one event: sleep with your husband (or boyfriend or neighbor or stranger).
Yet. For some reason bunches of people cannot make it work and resort to extreme tactics.

Today:
1. I bought 3 single sterile syringes from a pharmacy (at the risk of sounding like a drug user)
2. I got in a fight with an independent pharmacy owner
3. I washed my hands
4. She dropped her pants
5. I injected 3 mL x 3 and 1 mL x 1 in the gluteus maximus
6. I washed my hands
7. I went on my merry way

This is one of many steps taken to cause weight gain, pain, water retention, insomnia, stress and ripping/tearing/dilating/bleeding.

The immediate goal: ovulation
The long-term goal: someone to care about her when she dies (in the next 70 yrs)

I find it amazing that so many women who wish to not get pregnant do and so many who would give up anything to have a baby don't. It may be a heavenly conspiracy to teach both groups a lesson in patience, love and understanding OR maybe it is just a crazy fluke. I am not sure which.

But, what I know for sure is... 10 mL of fluid is too much for this girl's butt. And, if I have things my way, you won't catch me with my pants down.

The First of Many Blogs (maybe)

Brandon and I went on a ridiculous "road trip" to Lava Hot Springs. I say "road trip" sarcastically because we didn't ride more than 2 hrs between legs on the trip...

We enjoyed several ridiculous things during our trip:
1. Haken hitting "birdies" under the couch (golf)
2. Shad jumping out of his chair in the restaurant to cheer during a football game. The ladies at the table next to us said that she understood...
3. Going to the liquor store with Heather immediately after a session at the Logan Temple.
4. 500 Days of Summer for the second time in one week-- the ridiculous part is the theater: cash only.
5. Night in a motel with a bullet hole in the window and octogenarians on the porch.
6. Finding it impossible to find a church to attend because LDS.org is simply impossible to use.
7. Lava Hot Springs Main Street = enough said.
8. Seeing Heather naked (ok, ok scantily clad)
9. I assigned our new nicknames and the name of our new blog: Chubbs (Brandon) and Slim (Me)

All-in-all we had a great time.
