meet me at the moonlite.

I'm sorry that you've had to keep looking at LiLo for the past week and a half. We've been super busy with school and work. Summer classes are a wonderful way to ruin any perfectly great summer.
Take my word for it.

Joel and I went to a drive-in movie theatre...


It said that the gates open at 6:30, so logically we got there at 6:28.


And we waited...

...and waited...

...and put our legs out the window...and waited...

and enjoyed special treats...and WAITED (more impatiently now).


...and then the movies started at 8:45. when it got dark.
oops.

That's what I get for being a punctuality nazi. I HATE being late/when people are late. I think Oprah made my problem worse because she confirmed that people who are late are being disrespectful and saying "hey, my schedule is more important than yours"
End rant.

We watched toy story 3 and then grown-ups, although we left halfway through grown-ups because it was dumb.
my favorite things within toy story 3: peas in a pod

and unicorn/hedgehog combo



And I'll end this post by saying that Joel finally got his wish and we went to Cathy Asian Bistro for unlimited sushi.
He ate too much. I know you're shocked.
Its like that one time at Red Lobster all-you-can-eat ShrimpFest where I talked him into eating every variety of shrimp on the menu just so I could feel that we got our money's worth. He obliged...and then he felt reallllly sick.
Which is pretty much how it went down at Cathay.

looking great, lindsay. that studded blazer was a great choice for court.



but no matter how atrocious you look, I'll still never deny the fact that I watched your lifetime movie...and enjoyed it. keep up the good work.

things we love...

I love love love my new curling iron (thanks meghan for taking me to the beauty supply store with you!) because I haven't had one in years and usually I don't curl my hair. So now its sort of my new hobby.


I finally got this seche vite topcoat that everyone raves about. They were right. It is beyond lovely. O.P.I. topcoat doesn't even compare. If you are a product junkie like me, go try this.


What does Joel love, you ask?
Well, he loves old school nickelodeon angry beavers show.
Enough said.

crawdad boil

Megan's blog just reminded me that I haven't posted pictures of the crawdad boil yet. Oops! To those of my friends not from the south, this is a giant party/feast/cookout where people eat lots of crawdads and kids swim in the lake.
When I first moved here and saw the signs for crawdad boils, I was like "what? people EAT those things?"
my brother brian and I used to catch crawdads from the bottom of the lake using a milk carton with a hotdog inside. we just liked to poke at them...if you would have told us that people actually eat these things, we would have laughed at you. and then thrown up a little.

but the real reason I hate these things is that all the frat boys at vandy had crawdad boils--except they always got too drunk to boil them all, so in the morning we would find these horrifying little vermin dragging themselves across the sidewalk. it was a little traumatic for me.


EAT ME. MMMM YUMMY.



the remains of joel's plate.



ACTION SHOTS!




sophia didn't know what to think about them!


...and joel kept wearing his friend's hat.

CPR/AED/First Aid 101 AKA: my daily nightmare.

Okay, I just can't take it anymore.
I'm taking this online first aid/CPR/AED class. This requires an online textbook, or "e-book" which is just weird because each page loads and then won't go away, which is fine for normal textbooks, but NOT OKAY for books that have pictures in them.

There I am just innocently clicking through this book, first degree burns...second degree burn....third degree OH MY GOSH MY EYES JUST DIED THAT IS THE MOST AWFUL PICTURE IN THE WORLD!!!
That was day one.
Then, there I am again. The previous day's picture folded over and so easily forgotten. Oh, blood wounds today? great. wonderful. Good thing they don't actually show the--NOOOOOOOOOO AHHHHH MY EYESSSSSSSSSSS. I need to vomit now. I need my mommy. That person's ear is ripped off and why did they take a picture of it?! And oh yes, that is a hand that was stuck in a grinder...
And once again today, clearly by this time I should realize that I need to squint my eyes before clicking on a new page...
I don't want to go back to that tab. Oh please don't make me open it again. I knew that writing this post would give me some time to recover from seeing that guy's intestines coming OUT OF HIS CHEST, but now I think I should just go watch the bachelorette.

are we going to CATHY on saturday night? I hope so!!!!

Joel is taking the GMAT this Saturday bright and early.

I will be having an anxiety attack at approximately the same time.

Lots of looking miserable for these final 4 days:



And in case you were wondering what incentive Joel has to get a good score other than getting a graduate assistantship and having tuition paid for...we've decided that his score shall determine our celebratory dinner on Saturday night!
over 600 points = cathay (aka: CATHY!) asian bistro (his obsession with all-you-can-eat sushi)
550-600 points= chilangos mexican
under 500= can of progresso soup with a side of depression.

Father's Day

I love my dad!





Happy Father's Day!
