Evidence Of a Weekend Well Used!

Since I am now working at Convergys, (I start my third week of work today), I am required to work Monday-Friday from 3:30-midnight. Since I cannot be with Jamison as much as I would like to, I am then to make sure that I make my weekends worth it! 

To start off our weekend, Jamison and I decided to do some organizing and get our life put together inside our house. It started off by us cleaning out our second bedroom, it was so cluttered that we could barely walk inside of the room. Now there are only 5 items on our floor, everything else we were able to organize in the closet! It was so nice to have that room now cleaned out!

After all of the cleaning, Jamison and I headed to the store to pick up ingredients for the salad for that evening's party we were going to, pick up some last minute articles of clothing for Jamison's costume, and to make a decision on night stands and table lamps! I have taken forever in deciding what I wanted, and I finally broke down and made my decision! {Jamison gave me permission to decorate the apartment how I want it!} Now if only buying curtains and wall art could be that easy! I have yet to find the curtains and wall art that I want!

After a couple hours of tools and random wood parts, Jamison and I built both of the night stands and put together our lamp set. I absolutely love what it did for our room!

Now for some curtains and some wall art! At the rate I am going, it could potentially take another month for that decision!

Then for the evening, Jamison and I were invited to a "How to Host a Murder" party by one of my work friends, Aimee. There were four couples in total, and one person from each couple was part of my training class that I am in at Convergys. The party was so much fun, and it required us to dress up as our character. The game is similar to the board game Clue, but that instead for this game, we act out as a character and try to solve the murder mystery while eating dinner. {No one ate my salad except Jamison and I, it was delicious! I tried to not be offended by it, oh well.} My character's name was Scoop, a journalist, and Jamison's character's name was Billy, a baseball player. The story was based off in the 1920's and the person murdered was Hal Cappone. We had to figure out which one of us had murdered him, it was so tricky! I thought I had for sure murdered Hal Cappone, but it turned out at the very end that I was in fact, not the killer. However, Billy (Jamison's character) did make an attempt to kill him by throwing a bomb in his car but Cappone had escaped. I had never played this before, so it was really neat to try something I had never done before and make new friends while I was at it!

This is Jamison and I in our costumes about to head over to our party! I think Jamison looks so good in hats, don't you think?! 

After such a great weekend, and the new time change, Jamison and I were exhausted! Now I have another week's worth of brainstorming for good ideas for us this next weekend!

Two Nerds Or Two People In 3D Glasses?

This last weekend Jamison and I went to the 3D movie Avatar, which in my opinion was amazing! At first I was skeptical at the commercials when I saw naked blue people running around in a jungle...but to popular demand from my friends we thought we would take a chance and see if it really was that good. My response? Avatar is awesome! I wouldn't go calling me an Avatar nerd but I thought that between the graphics and the story line that it made it a great movie to go see. Having this be my first 3D movie experience I was shocked to find out that my eyes adjusted well to the 3D glasses, which was a relief. That would have been a super long movie if you couldn't watch it because it gave you a headache. I thought it was interesting how the Avatar's hair would be their connection to so many things, especially with the animals. Also it was cool to watch the unity of the Avatars and that when they were all connected as one that they could make things happens and produce miracles. Just imagine if the world got together and banded with one another, what miracles could we bring about?

So back to the question, nerd or chick in 3D glasses? For now, let's stick with both.

~Ice Ice Baby~

I can never turn down an opportunity to go dancing, especially themed dancing! It's not so much that the dances are particularily fun...it is the dressing up that makes it all worth it!

Don't be confused by my amazing abilities to dress as an aerobic instructor. My secret? I'm wearing a one piece swimming suit with black leggings! Although I was born in the 90's I was conceived in the 80's! That's right! A true blue 90's chick can rock out to 80's garb just like the rest of them!

Kandace and I were some serious aerobic instructors...oh and don't get confused with those twigs holding up our bodies...they are our legs!

And how can I forget my partner in crime a.k.a Richard Simmons with Vanilla Ice hair?!

To make if more fun I found out that Kandace and I weren't the only one's getting ready for the 80's dance on my floor! McKenna and Jen's outfits were sweet, especially Jen's...her outfit came with a cup holder on her fanny pack! It was awesome, it was even more funny to watch her drink out of it while it was still attached to her fanny pack!

To make it an even better night, Kandace, Jamison and I went out for Dairy Queen Blizzards ~an ice cream joint I hardly ever go to anymore~but it is official. The French Silk Creme Pie Blizzard is the best! Period. And McKennah was right, once you try it the first time you can't turn back to any other blizzard flavor! All in all between the lame dance and the 80's dress up, I figure that this night was an absolute success!
