Thursday night we went and saw "No Strings Attached." It was a super cute movie, entertaining and heart warming. I like Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher when they're in cutesy romantic roles. I give it 3 out of 5 stars:)
Jessi and I spent a wonderful Saturday afternoon shopping and chatting! It was great to spend some time with her, just the two of us, giggling, talking about weddings, friends, clothes and all of that. I got some great deals at TJMaxx and Target, most notably a really nice cardigan for $7 and a pair of black pumps for $6.25! Woohoo!
I had my first day of training at Old Navy today; just routine paperwork/training stuff. I work tomorrow and Wednesday night. I did like my nights and weekends to be free but I need some more money for the wedding, Old Navy is close to my house and has a great discount!! I saw a bunch of stuff today on clearance that I really liked but am going to wait to get them until I get my discount card:)
Here's to a productive week at school, a great birthday celebration for Jessi on Saturday and SUPER BOWL SUNDAY next week! I can't wait!

This video is absolutely hilarious! Kirsten sent it to me and I was crying I was laughing so hard! Check out hilarious British animal voiceovers. Happy Thursday!

Today we took the kitten to the vet to get her spayed and declawed. Hopefully she'll be a little less crazy when she gets home tonight. I've decided that she has two modes: crazy/running and sleeping. It's a little weird that she's not home right now, but I'm able to get some things done (like cleaning the closet and dishes) without her being all up in my business. She really does like to follow us around, which is sweet until she attacks your legs/pants.
Happy Birthday to my cousin Jim!!

I'm not a girl that paints my nails, neither fingers nor toes. I'm not very skilled at doing it myself, especially on my hands. Jessi painted my fingernails on Friday and I have to admit that I absolutely love it! Bright red looks good:)
Also, I'm watching Friends for the first time. I've seen some episodes but I'm watching them back to back right now and loving it! The clothes that Monica and Rachel are wearing in 1994 were a little scary...also, apparently there were a shortage of bras in show-biz back then because I rarely see those ladies wearing them:) Regardless, it's super funny. I love Chandler--he's my favorite:)

Sleepy Kitty
Kristen and Peter stopped over today to play with the kitten and tool around with Matthew's Egg-Bot. We played a lot with the kitten, so much that she slept from when they left (around 2) until about 6. Impressive:) Thanks to Kristen and Peter for tiring her out!
Super Bowl!
The Packers are going to the Super Bowl!! Woohoo!!! The NFC Championship game against the Bears was a tough one: the Bears are an excellent team and the Packers didn't seem to play as well as I saw them play last week or when the two teams played in the last game of the season. I hope that everyone practices, gets their routes right and gets SUPER PUMPED because they're going to be playing in the SUPER BOWL! Woohoo!!
Right now I'm listening to the recap of the game with Wayne and Larry. I wish I could listen to them during the game via the computer, but that's okay. Joe Buck and Troy Aikman aren't the best announcers. How someone (ie Troy Aikman) who had a great number of concussions when he played is qualified to comment...oh well.
The Steelers game is on tonight and I want them to win so that it can be a Packers-Steelers Super Bowl! What a game that'll be:)
GO PACK GO!!

For all the Ke$ha lovers out there and I'm not ashamed to admit that I like dancing around to her music, check out today's xkcd. Make sure to read the mouse over text. It's absolutely hilarious and very clever!
Tron:Legacy
Monday night we went and saw Tron:Legacy. I hadn't seen the original (from the 1980s) but after seeing the new one, I really want to see the original even if it is dated and has funky special effects. Tron:Legacy has an excellent soundtrack, which Matthew has been listening to for about a month and I've been listening to since we got back from the movie. It's composed by Daft Punk and they worked with the London Symphony Orchestra.
The movie was an action movie and some of the acting was less than optimal. The guy who played Sam Flynn reminded me of Keanu Reeves: good at stunts/physical stuff, not so good at talking. Martin Sheen was excellent! I haven't seen him play a role other than a stuffy British man in a suit so that was a surprising change.
Overall, I didn't hate it and I didn't feel like "OMG I HAVE TO WATCH IT AGAIN, RIGHT. NOW!" So somewhere in the middle:) The special effects are excellent but the 3D parts seemed blurry/shoddy which is surprising since 3D is supposed to be so awesome. I'd say 2.5 out of 5 stars.
Sidenote, Matthew was the least nerdy person in the theatre. Comic books geeks are in a world unto themselves

Snow Day!
Today we had our first snow day of the 2010-2011 school year. It is pretty winter-y outside and I definitely wouldn't want to be driving on the back roads in Shaler Township. So, it's a day off where I intend to get a lot of things done, hopefully:) Matthew and I are going to walk to CMU later this morning which should be a blast. I like walking in snow especially when it's not two feet of that fluffy white stuff.

Drat!
Yet again, I have fallen behind in my blog updates! A lot has happened since my last update so I apologize (to the small amount of readers) for my tardiness.
1. Dec 20th: Matthew and I got engaged! Yay! We were planning on exchanging our Christmas gifts that night. He made me a delicious dinner and after dinner gave me a super sweet card, which I had to read aloud. When I looked up from reading the card, he was down on one knee and holding out the ring and asked me to marry him! So happy!!
2. We went home for Christmas! It was a lovely 10 days full of family, friends and general relaxation. I certainly got my wish for a white Christmas (Pittsburgh had no snow when we left on December 23rd) since my parents' house has about two feet of snow. I'm so glad that both of us are able to take so much time off and spend it with our families. I know that sometime soon we won't have that privilege.
3. We have adopted a kitten. We brought her 14 hours in the car from Wisconsin. After we survived that, I knew we'd be okay to have her in the house. We named her Olivia and she's the cutest and craziest kitten I've ever met. She's just too adorable for words. Right now, she's sleeping curled up in Matthew's desk chair
4. My cousin Dan also got engaged about 3 days before we did so congratulations to him and his fiancé
5. Congratulations to my dear friend Ashley and her boyfriend (now fiancé). They got engaged last week Monday! I'm so happy for them! I guess it's the season of engagements. I have a feeling that 2012 is going to be a ridiculous year for weddings
