6/27: HOOPFEST!!! part two!

Hoopfest continued onto Sunday. Brand had to work Saturday so I made him come with me for a second day of festivities to watch Dylan try to win the car (sadly he didn't) but we did walk around the food court and had some delicious yummy egg rolls! It was beautiful out! We also saw a balloon animal making clown smoke. Wish I could have taken a picture of that haha.

6/26: HOOPFEST!!

Hoopfest is the largest 3 on 3 streetball tournament in the world. This was my first year enjoying the festivities and it was a good one! I was able to watch my great friend Dylan and other friends Tom, Aaron, and Derek play a pretty fun game (yup that's 4..gotta have the backup). They had lost their first game early that morning and easily beat the team I watched play (3 man wolf pack). Apparently this team was drunk, sloppy and overly happy, they were thoroughly entertaining. Apparently the first team were huge jerks so these happy drunks were a nice change. They unfortunately lost their 3rd game which put them out of the tournament but they all had fun. Dylan qualified for the Toyota Shootoff after making a half court shot. The winner won a Toyota Rav 4. Dylan didn't move on the next day but it was cool to see him sink that first half court shot. Oddly enough, there was later a real shootoff as two rival gangs fired shots into the crowd...we weren't there and everyone was ok just a few people injured but released the next day.
But I had fun. I think growing up with the Boise River Festival has made community events like this fun and nostalgic.
Here's a peek at the game I watched them win..

6/25: A sight for sore eyes, and an empty tummy

I LOVE new grocery days! Having a stocked fridge and stocked cabinets is wonderful. When my parents would get groceries and we helped fill up our small kitchen with yummy goodies...it was awesome! Us ravenous kids so excited about the new treasures would start eating what we had. I still do that. As soon as we unload the groceries I grab something that caught my eye in the store..pudding, popsicle, a fresh bag of cheetos, and a yummy coke to go with it.

6/24: Well now that's interesting..

Usually I don't take pictures in the morning. I'm just out of it yet focused on the task at hand..get up, get ready, get out. So when I saw this little guy I had to take a picture. Good thing I noticed because had I not..it may have hurt...

6/23: Pepper...not good in abundance

Word to the wise..just because the recipe calls for all that pepper..does not mean you should put all that pepper on. I made some grilled pork tenderloin. It was supposed to be coated in a lot of pepper. I definitely questioned the amount of pepper they were asking me to put on it..but I did it. bad idea! I was coughing and could not eat the meat because of the amount of pepper. The meat was nice and tender and would have been great if it wasn't for the pepper. Thankfully I had some delicious mashed potatoes to calm my mouth down.

6/22: A room with a view

I pretty much just sit on my butt all day. I sit on it at work when I'm not running around fixing everything getting this or that because a certain co-worker is lazy and not so bright. I sit on it in the car going to different home visits, I sit on it at the home visits (sometimes on some questionable recliners...who asks someone to sit on their pee pad?!?!) Then when I get home to relax, I sit on it again. I'm lazy. So here's the view from my spot on the couch. Comes complete with sun-like boob light in the kitchen :)
Welcome to my life...brace yourself it's a wild ride.

6/21: A manic Monday

Today wasn't great. Started out to a visit to the bathroom at 4. I just had a zombie dream and didn't want to leave my bed...but man I had to pee!!! So I did it. I braved the dark hallway, the cold bathroom, and the mysterious shower (I had to pull away the curtain to make sure none of those zombies were cleaning up before they turned me into the undead!). When I came back I was getting into bed when I scared Brand and he reached up and put his hand on my throat. Scared the crap out of me! He thought I was Dexter trying to get on the bed. It's funny now but not so funny when you're scared of zombies!
Also with this 4 am pee alarm...I realized I was feeling sick. A bad headache, congested, just not well. When I woke up for good it was still hanging around and in a daze I drove to work. After about an hour I was feeling better! Which was good...but work sucked. I came home and was EXHAUSTED.
So today was a bit lazy and cranky. But I did take a picture of the cute kitty again...because how can you be sad when you are looking at a cute kitty...
