Conference, College, Craziness

"I have a knack for alliteration. I'm a slave to it." -Sean, Psych

This weekend was jam-packed with SOCIAL-NESS...please be proud of me.
First off, on Thursday I was literally dragged from my apartment to go to the ward bonfire, which was more entertaining than originally anticipated.
Then on Friday I worked basically all day for the football game until I got to go to Jenny's birthday party!! It was way fun, though I took no pictures to prove it.
On Saturday, I made monkey bread while watching Mansfield Park with my roommates and then we watched conference! Then I went to Samily's for the afternoon session, some Rugby-watching, dinner at Zupa's (sorry RaeAnn), and then we met up with my cousin Zack, who was down from BYU-I. So fun to see him; we watched What Lies Beneath to kick of October-Scary-Movie-Month.
On Sunday, we (aka Brianna) made crepes to eat for the morning session of conference. Then I went to Samily's to play a rousing, yet totally depressing, game of Monopoly. Then it was ROAST DINNER!! That's right, Kimberly's roasts are back, and I've learned from my dad over the summer (though it was still no where NEAR Dad's high quality roasts).And then we attempted to watch Watcher in the Woods for our second movie, but instead told ghost stories, and can I just say it's been a LONG time since I told ghost stories; I couldn't remember them anymore!
And then this week I've taken 2 tests, 2 quizzes, and then I have one more test on Friday in addition to working a lot of events (and breaking my first goblet :( ) but don't worry, I definitely made time for a 5 hour game of Axis and Allies and to post (because I've been lacking as Andrew pointed out (hey I mentioned you in a post:) )).
Oh, and I got a BOMB package from RaeAnn/Jenna...THANK YOU!! I got so excited and love all of my new prizes!! I feel so special!!(PS The Frankenstein is a wall flower and, let's just say, I'm totally craving oatmeal cookies now!)
And now I'm going to go watch Ringer, not because it's great, but because I love Sarah Michelle-Gellar!

I just stinking wrote a novel of a comment and it didn't go through. Here's the jist, sounds like a great weekend, shocked to see you post pics of underwear? Proud of your roast making skills, wondering if I should play this axis and allies game? Surprised you can watch 2 movies and sports in addition to 4 hours of conference in one day! Haha, that's my sister.

Oh I love it. I am so glad you are having so much fun at school. Please some visit M-town soon, okay?

P.S. I want to try one of your roasts.

Ashley, of course I posted a picture of underwear. I haven't worn them yet, though, so it's fine. You should TOTALLY play axis and allies; I keep telling sam he really needs to go to malta and play games with you because he loves strategy games.

Jenny, trust me, I am trying really hard to plan a trip to AZ!!

Heh...I was wondering if those were silky unmentionables. That's awesome. Also Jason was jealous with the Axis and Allies reference. He and his brother used to play constantly and have all these secret signs and codes they used to give each other during church in anticipation of the next move. Anyway, you made him look up buying a new one. Sounds fun Kim.

I love that we have to give you props for being social. Glad you like the package... and oatmeal cookies? I could eat a bucket of em.

I was doing my daily check and I forgot to mention how much I like your introduction....

"Oh...hey..."

Like you're suprised we 'dropped by'...cracks me up every time.

Kimberly McLaughlin said...

RaeAnn, I've heard that before...haha
And thank you Kenna! I like it too
