Dear State Government,

I came to get a new driver license at the DVM today and your hours said Monday-Thursday.  I thought we were in America with the 5-day work week.  And you, you’re supposed to represent and run America, so how come there’s an exception for you all? I don’t know why you think you can take […]

Husbands {sigh}

Yesterday, T.J. and I ran into an old friend on campus, who was with a friend.  We had a funny moment that I thought I would share. T.J.: So, what are you up to? Friend: Just running some errands. (T.J. thought she said, “Just running with Maren.”) T.J. to her friend: Oh, I’m assuming you’re […]

Jacob Black and Pad Thai

Last night, Hannah and her date Jacob Black came over for dinner. (You might have heard of him, he’s a werewolf.)  It was a blast to hang out with them and swap stories.  Jacob told us about this brutal fight he was in a few months ago, but he won!  Oh and he told us […]

Carrie O.

This is my friend Carrie: I think I have blogged about her before. But because she left the 100th comment on my blog, I thought I would devote a post just to her. So anyway, Carrie is from Oklahoma, which automatically makes her awesome because it’s a random home state, just like mine!  We lived […]

FHE: Week 2

You’d be proud of us.  Right after dinner we went to the living room and had another real FHE. This week we sang “I am a Child of God.”  It turned into a singing competition, clearly.  T.J. sang (pretended to sing) bass.  I just sang really loud.  And at the end of the hymn, T.J. […]

Orange Teriyaki Beef with Noodles

Tonight I made this quick and easy recipe from my Betty Crocker cookbook. It takes just about 15 minutes and it’s low-fat, so you’ve got to give it a try! 1 lb beef boneless sirloin, cut into thin strips 1 can (14 oz) beef broth 1/4 cup teriyaki stir-fry sauce I forgot to get this […]

Dino-mania

I love dinosaurs.  It started a few years ago when my roommate Bethany did a dinosaur impression. I became obsessed. I love dinosaur formed foods, like this cake I saw at the store. I love movies with dinosaurs (like Clifford). [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lplpw9tjd_E&hl=en_US&fs=1] I love dressing up like dinosaurs (like the past two halloweens). But most of […]

21 days

21 days, or 504 hours, or 30,240 minutes left of summer. Where did it go?  Remember one of my posts way back in June when I listed some summer goals for the weekend?  Did I do them that weekend? No.  Did I do them this summer? NO! So, now it’s crunch time!  I made a […]

Boogeymen

For some reason, I’m always scared someone is in my house or out to get me.  All the time.  And, it’s getting progressively worse.  Whenever I hear a noise in the house, I close my eyes and ask T.J. what it was.  It’s always just our neighbors, or the dishwasher, but for some reason, it […]
