Awesomeness

For those of you who haven't seen it yet, The Dark Knight was, well, awesome! Seriously, awesomeness was radiating throughout that whole theater. I have to say that Heath Ledger was awesome (are you seeing a theme here?). It makes me sad that he won't be in the future batmans to come. But, I'm not going to cry about it. :) Dana & James give it 2 thumbs up!


We went to a Rockies game last Monday night with James's friend from back home, Roli Cortez and his girly friend. It was pretty fun, but we left at the end of the 6th inning when the score was 16-6. Needless to say, it wasn't a sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat kind of game. However...

Our seats were right behind left field...right behind Matt Holliday...


Do you see him checking me out? (Never you mind that the instant replay was right behind me...I know what I saw). ;) James wanted to fight him, but thankfully I held him back...hee.


Part 2:

Mmmkay, anyway, I started this post last week, and I am now going to finish it...I'm a little slow. But first, I have a story to tell...


I am in Lovell right now at mi madre y padre's (what's the word for parents?). James, his brother's fam, and I went camping Sunday through today so I decided to do some laundry...

I started the laundry (actually my mom did, but I really do know how to start the laundry), and after the wash was finished, I went to put it into the dryer...I had emptied the washer of it's contents...there was something dark - black, if you will - in the bottom of the washer. I was washing whites, so I was very confused...Ipoked at it with my finger and immediately regretted it. I still was unsure what the crap it was so I grabbed a toothbrush that was sitting there and poked at it...and screamed bloody murder for the next 5 minutes. I ran out of the laundry room screaming (I'm really not kidding), ran over to the sink, put 5 squirts of soap on my hands and proceeded to scrub profusely. My mom and James kept asking what was wrong and all I could do was scream and scrub. Every time I thought about touching it, a new set of shrill screams escaped my throat...
This is a version of what was in the bottom of the washer. However, picture it wet and dead. And I touched it. With my finger. When I finally stopped screaming/laughing, my mom and James busted up laughing at me. Then she asked if I got it out...are you kidding me?

Anyway, so that's my evening in a nutshell. I'll post some pics from our camping trip probably next week since I'm a little slow. Hope you are all having an awesome week! ;) Oh yeah, and Breaking Dawn comes out in 3 days!!! Woo!

That is disgusting!!! I probably would have reacted the same way. I have never had that happen to me, but I have always been afraid of something like that being in the washer when I reach in to get my clothes. So who finally got it out of the washer? Other than that, hope you are having fun with the family!!

Thank you Dana! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I can just pictue you freaking out (not that any normal person wouldn't do the same) and screaming at the top of your lungs. Wish I could have been there to witness it myself. Although very funny, I don't want it to happen to me. Thanks for sharing.

Oh man, I am going to have nightmares of doing laundry now. I would have FREAKED out, I seriously can't think of anything more discusting than poking a dead wet mouse!

HAHA!! I can't believe how much you and KB sound alike through typing. LOL!! That's pretty sick that you touched that thing. Was your mom sad that it died?
