Random Ramblings

-So, as promised (to myself) I attempted making chocolate chip cookies again this week. I wish I could say I found success. But I didn't. I began my attempt by buying all new baking ingredients (flour, baking soda, vanilla extract, etc.) just to insure that everything would be fresh. Then I asked for assistance, in the form of my husband double checking the recipe and my measurements. He was very helpful, and I was very hopeful! But alas...no bueno. Matt assured me that they were tasty, and they were...but they were also flat as pancakes! I talked to my mother in-law later that day and she said I probably just needed to add a little extra flour. *Sigh*. Someone please tell me why I never took a home economics class.

-Note to self: It's not a good idea to keep your bottle of hairspray and your bottle of body spray right next to each other underneath the bathroom sink. Especially when they're the same color. Because, while getting ready in a rush it's quite easy to confuse the two. And by the time you've sprayed body spray in your hair 3 times...it's too late to go back. And even though sweet pea is a nice scent, 3 squirts in the hair is mighty strong. I'm just saying.

-Matt had to work extra late on Monday because he's starting up a new project. By the way...isn't it cool that he builds stuff? I think it's so cool that he is starting a project right now that he can only see on paper, and in a year and 1/2 there will actually be a building to show for it! It still amazes me. Anyway. I knew Aubrey and I would be on our own for dinner, so I decided to go and get a little something I really enjoy that I rarely get to eat. Sushi! Mmmm. I put Aubrey to bed and enjoyed every last bite all to myself. Heaven.

-So there is a new show on Fox called Fringe. Matt and I have seen the previews and decided we would check it out, mainly because J.J. Abrams is one of the creators...and he has made some of our favorite shows (Alias and Lost). The Premiere was on last night and in terms of thrill, intrigue, and science fiction it didn't disappoint. But the acting was questionable. So we're still undecided about whether it's worth out time or not.

-I'm just going to take a moment to brag about my sweet husband. A few weeks ago Matt told me he planned a date for me, but that it was a surprise. He also informed me that he had already arranged babysitting for Aubrey, and that all I had to do was show up. I was so excited to find out what he planned, but he wouldn't tell me. Then one day he got something in the mail and he said it was for our date. He asked if I wanted to know and of course I said yes. He just couldn't keep it from me anymore. So he pulls out two tickets to see the musical My Fair Lady at Pioneer Theater in Salt Lake! I was so excited. This is one of my all time favorite musicals. He said he was listening to the radio one day and heard an add for it. He knew how much I loved that show, so as soon as he got he called his parents to make sure they could babysit and then bought tickets. Cute, huh?

That is the end of my random ramblings for the day.
