Myth Busters

**You can pop popcorn using your cell phones...MYTH.

They show a video on YouTube proving that it works but we tried today and we got nothing.

**You can peel a hard boil egg with out actually peeling it...TRUE.

You actually blow it out the bottom of the egg. Here are the steps:

1. Cover the eggs with water and boil on low for 12 minutes.

2. Cool eggs by placing them in cold water with 1 teaspoon of baking soda and ice. The baking soda raises the pH level and reduces the adherence. If you choose not to use baking soda, be sure to move the eggs into cold water with plenty of ice immediately after boiling.

3. Crack the top of the egg and remove a small piece.

4. Crack the bottom (the wide end) of the egg and remove a small piece.

5. Hold egg in your hand and blow vigorously into narrow end of egg, which will expel it out the wide end.

Just be ready to catch it when it comes out!!!

A Bit of Randomness

*Last Saturday night Josh and I went out with my parent to Fremont Street for dinner and to listen to the bands playing down there. We had a good time but it was a little chilly. Good thing Josh asked me if I wanted to bring a jacket. It started to rain and it was a windy. I like going down there just to watch the freak show. It's kind of funny...sometimes scary.
.
*My Mom, Dad, and I went Sunday to Arts in the Park in Boulder City. I had never been there before but I thought there was a lot of cool things. A little too much art work for me. I like the more crafty stuff. We bought several things including this cute little pumpkin lady to hold our candy.

And apparently tie-dye is back. I have to say though that the guy selling them did pretty cool designs. These are the shirts my parents bought.
I'm not sure how well any of you know my Mom but she love Target and this one was the last one she had so I had to buy it.
Myparents bought me this little picture. I think it is so funny because right now that is what my salon looks like with all the kids screaming and running around.
*I saw Night at Rodanthe. It was a very good movie. I think it is more of a chick flick but a guy might like but may not admit it. My mom and sister read the book first. They said that it was just as good as the book but the ending was ruined because they knew what was going to happen. I don't cry at movies but apparently it is a tear jerker because there was several women that had to leave the theater because they were crying so hard. I would definitely recommend that movie.

*Starting tomorrow I have 3 waxing parties within a week. I am really excited. Hopefully we will have a good turn out at all 3. My Aunt Laurie's was such a success that her friends asked her to host another one. So that is just what we are doing. That will be great if we get just as many women as last time. Here is a little waxing schedule if anyone needs waxing done:
My Mom's- Tomorrow @ 6pm @ my house
Calie's- Monday @ 5pm @ Sandy's house
Aunt Laurie's- Next Friday @ 6pm @ my house

*This will be my first year being apart of the Behind the Picket Fence Craft Boutique. I was going in on it with a friend but she decided that she just didn't have the time. So I will be doing it all by myself. It is coming along though. My house isn't quite as messy as I would have thought. I am a bit of a freak things have to be organized. Everything has a place and it has to be in that place. With not working a lot it is actually a good thing I got this going on because it gives me something to do. We shall see how I do.

*I know I should care about the election because these next 4 years will matter more to me than any other one has but I just can't deal with all of these commercials. Why can't they just say what they think and air those instead of attacking the other running mate? And who am I suppose to believe anyway? It's all politics. I can't wait until after the election and it is all over.

*We have made friendship bread. It is the bread originally made by the Amish. It takes 10 days to make. There is something to do add or do to the mixture each day. Once the 10th day has been done you then pass part of your mixture to 3 other friends. It is yummy bread. So yummy I wasn't able to get a picture of the cooked bread. Here it is in progress.

How Lucky?!?!
Well it is official...Tarin is not the only one, I like the Jonas Brothers also. As much as Tarin shoved them down my throat I have had no choice but to like them. Still they can be too much at times but they have some pretty good songs. Sooooo with that being said...

we will be attending the Jonas Brothers Concert on November 29th.
They announced they were coming at the beginning of this week and tickets went on sale today at 10am. I was on ticket master at 10:10am hoping I wasn't too late. The first request I was denied but I changed around a few things the second time and I got us tickets!! It should be a good time. I can't believe I am going to a Jonas Brothers concert. Am I too old? Should I bring ear plugs to block out all the screaming teens? Or do I act too young? Should we make goofy shirts? Who knows?!?!

BINGO!!!

My time has finally came. I got to yell "BINGO!!" the other night. I won $100 on a double bingo with letter O-72 at the Fiesta. (Yes, I remember every detail) We have decided that is the place to go. They are the only bingo in town that is all paper. Every other places has little computers so people get more of advantage using those because they have tons of cards in play at one time. Hopefully I'll get lucky again!

All Done!!

So I finished the Twilight Series this morning. I vote Breaking Dawn the best out of the 4. It was definitely the longest but it was very good. I am hoping that I wont be disappointed with this movie because the books were really good.
(I think I have done my share of reading for the rest of my life. ha ha)
