When disaster strikes, hilarity ensues

I'm not really sure that I can explain what happened tonight. I was rinsing a plate in the sink when I noticed my feet were getting wet. Next thing I knew Jess was mopping my kitchen. Then it got even better - I had a dishpan under the sink that had filled with water from the leak, and in a moment of sheer stupidity, I took it out of the cabinet and dumped it in the sink. Uh, yeah, that created a little waterfall between the cabinet and the floor.

By this time, I was not just laughing, but doing that thing where I can't breathe and my stomach hurts. (In case you haven't noticed- when I'm not sure how to react to something, I generally end up laughing.)

My garbage disposal somehow cracked and came apart. Who knows what else is wrong. What is it with this week? First it was the iPod, and now this. Ah, the joys of being an adult...

My faithful and quick-thinking friend:


Where it all started...


Because I did not happen to have any caution tape laying around:


Wii Pants

Meghan surprised me with these amazing pj pants the other day. I love them very much.

My Evening

What I am doing instead of studying, part two

A co-worker sent me this recipe the other day. Then my mom sent it to me. Then Kraft sent it to me. A sign? Maybe. Anyhow, I made it this evening and it looks pretty fabulous. 


The recipe said to crush Oreos in a food processor. I was planning to just crush them in a Ziploc, but then I was at Target and I decided to take a look... Every once in awhile I get jealous of my married friends who have every kitchen appliance and gadget known to man, even if they have to intention of using them. I don't have a ring on my finger, but by golly, I am now the proud owner of the Hamilton Beach Fresh Chop. Look how amazingly fine those Oreo crumbs are!

This is what I am doing instead of studying.

Next weekend I have a final, plus two group projects and a paper due. But what am I doing this evening?

This:
Yes, those are maps. And Post-Its. On the wall. In other news, I found a use for my spare room. :)

I'll give you one guess.

Where am I going on summer vacation?

9 states
8 maps (one for each state along the Route)
7-ish days on the road
6 am - we'll have to be at the airport to fly to LA
5 friends (who will hopefully still be friends when we return!)
4 guidebooks/map series among us so far
3 years ago Cars was released and served as inspiration
2 different wigwam motels along the way
1 enormous blue whale on the side of the road

Yep, we are driving across the country, LA to Chicago, via Route 66. Can't wait!

Jesus People

If you're a fan of movies like Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman, I think you will enjoy this. It's Christopher Guest-esque, with a Christian twist and a little "Altar Boyz" thrown in.


Be sure to click on media and watch the webisodes. Well worth your time!
