Falcor and Ratatouille

We couldn't help noticing that Kacy's dogs could be celebrity impersonators. Molly of course is the spitting image of the luck dragon Falcor from The Neverending Story(which is a movie that Kacy has never seen so she didn't understand why everyone thinks this is so funny, in order to let her in on the joke I rented The Neverending Story on NetFlix and we watched it yesterday and now she agrees). And I think that if you catch Maggie at just the right angle she could double as Remy (the main character from the new Disney movie Ratatouille).

T.H.I.R.S.T.Y.

Everyone should drink more water, especially 8-12 year olds, and so (as socially responsible community health nursing students) my clinical group and I put together this little diddy for an assignment we have. Monday we will be presenting our video to the class and to the nurses from the local public health department - the guidelines were to create a video or powerpoint presentation that can be shown on the morning show at local schools to promote your assigned nutritious food - we got water (we lucked out).

Accio Deathly Hallows

I thought I was ahead of the game when I pre-ordered book seven online last fall, that way I was sure to get my copy and I didn't have to risk being out in public (where people could ruin my experience by yelling out plot spoilers) on release weekend. However I didn't count on how PAINFUL it would be to sit around waiting for the delivery guy to get to my house knowing that hundreds of thousands of people with less foresight than me were sitting at home with their books from midnight release parties at their local bookstores... curses! On the upside, I had a very productive morning trying to keep my mind off of the boy wizard. My copy finally came around 3pm and it was awesome. The delivery guy wanted to chat (about how many books he was delivering that day) but I was too exited to hold a conversation. As soon as the door closed I retreated to my room and did not emerge (aside from bathroom breaks and trips to the fridge) until midnight. I finished the book Sunday and it was everything I had imagined and more. JK Rowling is made of awesome.

Rhubarb Pie

I am a little slow with these pictures but this has been a big week in the world of a Harry Potter fan so you will have to forgive me. Last weekend Laura and I made some Rhubarb Pie and it was amazing. Laura has never had Rhubarb Pie and is now very excited to make one for Jay - her favorite part was making the lattice crust...

Its About Time

Brett brought his A-game this weekend: he took Kacy to a bed-and-breakfast in Savannah to celbrate their sixth anniversary over a long weekend. It rained all day Saturday so they decided to go for a walk to kill time before

their dinner reservation and he popped the question at dusk in front of the fountain in the middle of Forsyth Park (which was empty except for the two of them because it was still drizzling). Congratulations to the future Mr. and Mrs. Blade!

Dramatic Chipmunk

I have a quiz tomorrow that I am supposed to be studying for so I have been procrastinating by watching this video Laura's brother showed me. It is a clip from a nature documentary that someone recorded, put to music and titled "The Dramatic Chipmunk" when they posted it on YouTube - it makes me laugh everytime I watch it. The second one is the same clip with some graphics ;) CURSES! The Dramatic Chipmunk has been foiled again!

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

The fifth Harry Potter movie came out yesterday and I think it was pretty good... I'm sad they had to cut most of the tangential story lines but what can you do? More importantly, that means there are only ten short days left until the seventh book is released and that is what all true Harry Potter fans are excited about this summer! In honor of the hype I went to class in a Hogwarts uniform yesterday (I was pleasantly surprised at how nicely the cape billowed behind my bike) and then proceeded to wear it out to the bars last night. It was a big hit.
