Harry Potter in IMAX was worth the wait :)

Bummed

2009-07-01T04:31:07Z

So, I just found out that Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince won't be released in IMAX 3D on the 15th with the regular viewing. It's going to be released on the 29th. All this because of that Transformers movie, that wasn't really that good anyway.

Oh well, I'll wait to see it on the 29th.

Babies vs Kids

2009-07-01T01:30:27Z

There is a difference between wanting to have a baby and wanting to have children. I honestly think that some people just don't get that!

Why...

2009-05-06T05:55:58Z

does my husband watch this music video over and over? :P

Anniversary

Damn It

2009-04-16T01:41:46Z

So Mark and I finished our taxes yesterday and we owe this year, for the first time. We owe $900, which I didn't understand at all.

After a LOT of research and talking to a CPA it seems as though we claimed correctly during the year (Married with one exemption), but for some reason our companies didn't take out enough money from our checks to cover what we needed.

How would we ever know??? Well, now we know. There goes the savings!!

Well, at least there is moving to look forward to.

Advice

We are going to need a fridge and a couch when we move. I have never bought these things, any advice?

Thanks :)

That is all.

I'm on a boat...

Amazon Blows

2009-03-03T03:38:54Z

So Mark has been waiting for his Sreetfighter 4 Tournament Edition Arcade Stick since we ordered it in December. We pre-ordered it because we knew it would sell out. It was released last month and today we FINALLY got it. UNFORTUNATELY they sent us the Xbox version instead of the PS3.

I was on the phone with Amazon for over an hour tonight and all they can say is "we messed up, but we don't have anymore". I KNOW you don't have anymore, it was sold out BEFORE it was released.

Anyway, after talking to 3 different people they are crediting our card and letting us keep this Xbox version that is worthless to us. Maybe we can sell it. The company that makes them says they are going to have more in April, so hopefully we can get one then.

Mark is so sad, he has been waiting for this for months. Poor guy! :(

Movies

2009-02-25T06:22:39Z

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince premiers in July and New Moon premiers in November.

It's going to be a good year!

Oh, and I hear that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Eclipse are both scheduled for release next year.

That leaves 1 more movie for each series which I hear both might be split into 2 movies each.

High School at 29

Sometimes working at Starbucks is like being in high school again. Annoying sometimes... oh, dear children!

Finding our home

2009-02-20T02:30:32Z

So Mark and I have always said that we don't feel like we want to live in CA forever, but tonight at dinner we talked more about it.

We both know that we love the East Coast, and wouldn't mind living in Boston or some NY suburb...or wherever in the northeast that works. The thing that concerns us is making it happen.

We don't want to be stuck in CA, I would love to find out how people plan to move across the country. It won't be anytime soon, with the economy being so bad, but maybe in the next 2 or 3 years.

How does one get a job? It must be harder when you are so far away to begin with. What about the actual living arrangements?

Is it just crazy that a couple can move so far from home and actually have it work, are you pretty much stuck where you started? I sure hope not!

Any advice? I know things are going to happen how they are supposed to, and things work out in the end, but obviously it would be nice to have it be as easy as possible.

Thanks in advance to anyone that has input.

Happy BIrthday

Happy 23rd birthday to my wonderful husband. I am sure whatever we do tonight it will be a lot of fun! :)

Note to self

2009-02-04T03:11:06Z

ALWAYS file Married 0 or less, not Married 1!

We have really cool friends

2009-01-29T04:56:15Z

2 of Mark and I's best friends are getting married in a few months. Today we got the announcement and it looks just like the cover of the first New Order album.

Needless to say, I was impressed! :)

The power of music

2009-01-28T02:21:39Z

I just realized that the education I received regarding the meaning of the world "blasphemous" was from the Depeche Mode song.

That goes to show you how religious my parents were.

Also, you have to love a band that is named Apoptygma Berzerk!

Tonight I am enjoying playing the Sims 2, listening to Pandora's mix of New Order, VNV Nation and Seabound while making some YUMMY minestrone!

Oh, and I went to the Optomitrist today for my yearly checkup and my prescription was a little better than last year. Since I have been wearing glasses/contacts since the age of 6 that is wonderful. The only bad thing is I can never get lasik because my eyes are that bad. Oh well, I'm just happy my eyes are not getting worse, because I'm told they were pretty much the worst they could be for contacts.

However, since I can't get lasik they do have a new procedure where they IMPLANT a contact into your eye. CRAZY!! HAHA

Go Obama

This Inauguration is also making me miss the East Coast. I really need to be there. Mark and I need to talk! :)

Food Adventure

2009-01-15T04:35:54Z

Last night I made some Kung Pow Chicken for Mark and mushroom fried rice for dinner. He REALLY liked it, and I am going to make it again and add more veggies.

Tonight I made a spinach artichoke dip that could have been better. It was good, but could have used less spinach and more creme cheese. Not very healthy, but GOOD! I would really like to get BJ's Brewery's recipe, that's my favorite!
