Neighbor's Dog

Just a little video update on everyone's favorite psycho-neighbor dog.

Neighbor asked me to check on Desi, so I told Mark he could do it.

Mainly because Desi has already mauled me once, and I'm not signing up for that again.

We had to let her out last night and she bit Mark and broke skin, but he doesn't care.

I. Do.

So, enjoy the video of our little neighborhood crazy when we went to check on her today.

Hair cut

BEFORE...

 

AFTER

(clearly he's not happy about having his picture taken).

I couldn't say goodbye to the goatee.

It would have been too much for me to say goodbye to all of it.

And Mark's suggestion was a mustache, which was of course immediately vetoed.

I like the new do though.

What do you think?

Does he look older or younger with long hair?

Finally!
I just started Breaking Dawn...
Who cares that I have to wake up @ 6am for a 5 hour conference call?
But for real ... What am I going to do with myself after I'm finished with this one?!

PLEASE if you've already read the book do NOT post anything that will give it away.

Nothing is worse than a spoiler.

Anyone care to suggest another series that's as GRIPPING as this one?
I don't think it can be matched.
And I read a lot.

And my eyes look like I've been awake for 48 straight hours in this picture.
Don't hate.

Urgent Care

Nothing like a good ol' trip to the Urgent Care.

So yesterday afternoon I was in the middle of making spaghetti and decided to clean up the dirty dishes while I waited for the noodles to boil.

I was cleaning my cute, glass dish from Crate and Barrel and it broke in my hand!

This isn't the first time I've broken one of these bowls and last time, Mark sliced his hand on the glass when he was taking the trash out.

Needless to say, Mark told me "no more glass bowls."

Anyhow back to my sob story....

My finger was bleeding all over the place.

Mark said, "Uuuuuh, what do we do?"

Amy - "Well, let's call April. No scratch that, she's on a plane. Call Destin! Nope, he's on the plane with her. Hmmm..."

Mark - "I guess we can go to the Urgent Care here in town."

Amy - "Yeah, good idea. It's bleeding a lot" (I unwrapped it from the paper towels to take a look and almost passed out). 

I could see the lumpy/fatty second layer of epidermis!!!!

Mark came over to take a look at it and said, "SERIOUSLY AMY?! It's like a 1/4 of an inch long...what is the Urgent Care going to do? Stitch your vein back together??? Just put a bandaid on it once it stops bleeding."

I gave him the please-have-mercy-on-my-sweet-soul/finger-and-don't-make-fun-of-me look.

Then we headed to the Urgent Care.

Once we got to the UC, the dude (yes, a surfer DUDE was the doctor's assistant...all he talked about was surfing on his break meanwhile I'm bleeding to death) unwrapped my pinky finger and said, "Oh, that little guy? Is there a cut further up on your finger too?"

I replied that there wasn't and I'm pretty sure Mark had to step out of the room because he was laughing so hard.

Don't worry about him - he brought his spaghetti dinner along with him to the UC and was eating it in the treatment room.

And don't even play like Mark didn't BOG everyone in the entire office.

The doctor finally came in there after the doctor's assistant's said to "Go wake the Doctor up from his coma."

The doctor treated my gash with much more respect than Mark or the surfer dude.

He said that it was very deep and needed 2 stitches.

2 stitches is legit people.

LEGIT.

He numbed my finger and stitched it right up!

Mark said after they numbed it he could've sworn the doctor opened up the gash a little bit so that he could fit 2 stitches in there.

I asked him to shut his face and keep eating his spaghetti.

They sent me on my way and told me not to get it wet.

So in true hypochondriac style, I'm taking showers and washing my dishes with a glove on with a rubber band around my wrist.

Don't worry - I'm still sucked into the Twilight books.

So this was just a short break to let you know I'm still alive.

With a minor injury of course.

#3

2 down.
2 to go.
I'll be back soon - promise.
So far #1 was way better than #2.
I always liked the "bad boys" though...
Even though I married the good guy.

Oh Edward...

Dear Twilight,
I have been slacking on my blog and it's definitely all YOUR fault. Basically I would like to know when I will have my life back. I would appreciate a prompt, sarcastic response.
Sincerely yours,

26 feels younger than 25

We celebrated my 26th birthday the last few days

Of course it takes a few days to celebrate a birthday -

Pfffshaaa! Come on!

Anyhow, we are "checking off" things that we want to do in California

Soooo off we went to Wine Country!

This was taken at Murrieta's Well.

Of course we lucked out and got to speak to one of the winery family members because he just so happened to be at the winery that day.

We had a lovely chat... and of course we gave them BOG's.

Mark wanted to feed the owners horse....

The weather was PERFECT and it was great because we went on a Tuesday, so no one was there! We had the whole place to ourselves.

Next ... Carmel Beach and Pebble Beach!

This is a shot of Mark and the puppies walking back down to the beach from the 17th (or 18th, I don't know really) green of Pebble Beach Golf Links.

Someone said it costs like $400 to golf here.

Absurd.

Then we went on the 17 Mile Drive from Carmel to Monterey.

The homes were AH-mazing...lots of them were for sale too...

Anyone?

Along the way we took a picture with the Lone Cypress.

Mark's exact quote: "That's it? Well, I'm unimpressed. Someone even put a fence around it? Why?! It's a silly tree!"

Then we finally made it to Monterey after the 17 Mile Drive and a quick nap on the beach in Pacific Grove.

We encountered some Harbor Seals and they sang me happy birthday!

Well, not really, but it sure does look like they're singing in this picture! :)

Cooper and Cali were NOT fans of the seals.

Cooper went up to sniff one and it barked so loud he recoiled into a ball and rolled over backwards! Mark and I laughed so hard!

Cali just walked as far away from them as she possibly could and whined.

Then we took the "long way home" through Big Sur.

All I can say is, INCREDIBLE.

We went around every turn and just said, "Woooow."

I took so many pictures, but hardly any of them came out stellar because Mark refused to stop.

He had a class that started at 6 so we were on a SCHEDULE. Boo. Hiss.

I'm totally up for another Big Sur trip.

Who's in?

Before we finally hit the 101 we saw a few more seals on the side of Hwy 1

These were Elephant Seals and weren't quite as cutie cutie as the Harbor Seals.

Either way, I thought this picture was great.

One little guy is just wailing away and the other one is like, "Geez dude. Are you done yet?"

Thanks Gillette.

You know, there was a "pencil mustache" option as well,

I told Mark it was too nasty to even put up on the blog.

Just a good time-waster for you bloggers out there...

Vote on your fave...

It might become a reality with the facial hair Mark has currently.

Ah, the joys of being a student - there are some.

Frightening to say the least.

Mark said this one reminded him of Jeff Maday.

So are we going for handle bars?

Old Western?

Or all-out beard?

Anniversary Eve/Program Fiasco

Well tomorrow is our 4 year anniversary.

Hard to believe I was at Kinko's REPRINTING my programs this time 4 years ago with the correct date on them...all before the night of the wedding. 

(Thanks for bailing me out, Dad).

I remember my wedding planner saying, "Um Amy, are you getting married the 4th or the 5th?"

I of course said, "The 4th. Why are you asking?"

She said, "Because all your programs say you're getting married the 5th. That's Sunday."

*uncontrollable sobbing ensued*

Then my family came to the rescue...

They re-assembled all my programs the night before and well into the day of the wedding!

Now I had to bust out the scanner for these pics, but they are priceless!

Do not let their annoyed faces fool you.

They were so happy.

Especially April and Jennifer - they were the MOST happy.

Can't you tell?!

Please notice in the center of the table (*pic below*) HOW MANY  programs they had to re-do the day of the wedding...

I am soooo thankful!

Here is a classic picture of brother being a supportive sibling and tying all those pink ribbons on my new, updated, correctly dated programs :) 

(only slight hints of sarcasm there).

The boys - assembly line style.

It was (at the time) a legit nightmare.

But of course the fam came through for me.

Joey even came and provided everyone CFA on a busy Saturday morning.

OK - fast forward 4 years...

That's neither here nor there, because programs aside, we've been married for 4 years!

I got a few early bird anniversary cards in the mail today, but I'm waiting to open them 'til tomorrow.

However, I did get a suspicious package that I just COULD NOT wait to open.

It's from my sister-in-law, Connie

She mailed me GRITS!

Grits, people. Grits.

Apparently westie's out here don't know how stinkin' good grits are!

I am clearly beyond excited.

So excited I might break out my scanner again.

High school and college friends - beware.

Berenstain Bears

Growing up I LOVED reading the Berenstain Bears books and occasionally watching them on tv (the glorious 1985 version, no less).

Well while at CFA seminar this year I had the opportunity to meet Mike Berenstain!

Very fun. He is a part of a family business too.

His parents started the Berenstain Bears books back in the day and he is the current illustrator for the books/cartoons.

When our friendly UPS dude showed up at my door step I was honestly confused as to what I had ordered online and forgot about (whoops. I do that a lot. Heh heh.)

When I opened it and realized that it was a poster of the Berenstain Bears eating CFA I laughed out loud and then had Mark take pictures for me!

Speaking of books...

Remember when I told you I had a problem?

Well I am proud to announce that I have finished 3 of the 9 books that I started.

I got lots of great advice and I used all of it to finish a few of my "unfinished projects"

Have no fear - there was motivation.

I got stuck on Amazon (it sucks me in) and I ordered 3 more!

I mean come on, free shipping over $25!?

You had me at hello.

I bet you'll never guess which ones I bought...The last one will probably surprise, but it had so many high recommendations - I'm willing to try it out.

1.) You know i had to... 

2.) Little sis read this one and so I thought I'd jump on the band wagon too...

3.) I know, I know, I succumbed to the pressure. Hey! Everyone else is doing it! I thought about buying the 4-book collection, but decided I'd see if I liked this one or not first ...

What's better than Christmas in May?

Every now and then I make cookies.

Let's get serious...I always make cookies.

So the other day, while in the ATL, I ate ginger cookies with my mom at a place called Theo's Bakery at The Avenue West Cobb.

Ever since I ate their ginger cookie, I've wanted one.

So I made some!

(As you can see, I always have "helpers" when making food)

I used the recipe that I saw on foodnetwork.com from Barefoot Contessa.

All things considered it was easy.

And her stuff usually isn't easy.

Now, I realize ginger cookies are supposed to be eaten at Christmas

But, I had a craving, and I filled it!

Mark was sad that I made ginger cookies.

He likes plain 'ol chocolate chip cookies instead - really he just likes to eat the cookie dough.

And furthermore, he just eats any cookie I make for breakfast anyhow.

On to another recipe thanks to my wonderful cousin, Jennifer.

Tomato soup with dill! (With homemade, yummy parmesan bread too!)

I planned on taking pictures throughout this soup making process, but it was so yummy we ate it as soon as it was ready!

So this is all that's left for pictures.

This recipe is beyond easy, and it's good for you too.

Makes enough that you can have some for lunch the next day too!

If you'd like this recipe, comment and I'll forward it on to you.

Now, I am by no means a food blogger like some of my other great friends, but it seems that I keep blogging about food.

Maybe I should go eat something.

Cleaned out the fridge

Well, I didn't really clean out the fridge

But I did go through some of the pictures on the side of the fridge

You know the ones you put up in those clear plastic picture holders?

Yeah, well I don't exactly change them out and put the old picture away...

I just put the new picture on top of the old picture.

So basically what happens is, all the pictures you can see are current

And the ones behind it are VERY old.

So I thought I'd share a few of those old pictures with you.

First up: Berry College spring break circa 2003

I believe this was the SB before my senior year.

Good times...however, I don't remember this being the year that we stole all of Amanda's clothes while she was in the pool/made fun fetti cake/danced our hearts out.

That is another story, another picture for another time...

Next up: Family beach trip to house in Panama City for Thanksgiving.

I'm 100% sure that we weren't married yet because my hair is ridiculously long and because I have on my Berry Crew shirt that I retired when I moved to California.

Either way, cute picture.

Next up: Boys trip to New Smyrna Beach, FL. circa 2003

The hair styles in all of these pictures is what gets me the most.

Kylie was probably not so thrilled with John's new buzz cut

I know for a FACT that it had been DAYS since Mark had taken a shower - I think I remember him telling me he "jumped in the ocean" for his shower.

James looks SO young and Andrew definitely looks different too.

Love it.

Next: April visits California for the first time to see me, circa 2005

We have this problem with taking pictures of ourselves...

And forgetting to zoom out before we actually take the picture.

I LOVE this photo and it's been on my jewelry box for 4 years now.

And last up is: Mark and I wandering around north campus in Athens the fall before we got married...circa 2004

Look how long my hair is! Wow.

Anyhow, I thought I'd share my old pictures with you.

Sorta makes me want to dig through my old high school pictures and find some funny ones!

I'm sure I have a box of good laughs in the form of pictures somewhere.

Puppies + Wasabi = Funny

Is it bad to feed your dogs wasabi paste wrapped in 

ginger?

Date night #1

So Mark and I decided to spice up our date nights and do something a little different.

Thanks to Buckhead Church's Married Life group we decided to try...

The Great Date Experiment

We've only completed date #1, so we're a little behind but never-the-less...

We're dating.

So date number one had us starting out with cheap appetizers (Mark gets excited about anything that has the word "cheap" or "free" in front of it, so I didn't have to bribe too much).

So of course we set out for cheap appetizers and ended up in McDonalds sharing a biggie fry (Don't tell Granddad!)

Along the way we had questions we were supposed to answer.

One of my favorites was, "If you could live anywhere in the States and proximity to family and friends wasn't an issue, where would it be?"

I answered Steamboat Springs, Colorado (anywhere in Colorado for that matter)

Mark answered...Leucadia, CA (he sorta cheated and picked another city in CA, but he really doesn't want/dream to live anywhere else.)

So, fair enough.

On to the second page...

DINNER!

(Now remember we're dining on a dime here peeps...so pizza it is.)

After dinner and more deep questions like...

"Something special about you that not many people see is....???"

I answered how much he loves kids and how much they love him; that is a gift. I know that it's a gift because I don't have it.

He answered, "How much you actually care about other people."

I thought that was slightly humorous, but very cute and accurate all at the same time.

Next we walked to a souvenir shop.

(The Great Date Experiment said to go to WalMart or Target, but alas we would have to drive 45 minutes to get to one of those, so souvenir shop it was.)

We had $2 to go into the store, split up and buy something for the other person.

I of course asked, "Well, what if what I want to buy you is more than $2, Sweetie?"

And Mark replied, after putting his wallet away, "Amy. $2 is the MAX amount you can spend...let's see how much change both of us can bring back. The person that brings the most back, wins."

Now, let me just tell you...Mark made his choice in like 15 seconds and he was out the door waiting on a nearby bench for me to come join him.

I however, made 985,982,001 choices before I walked up to the counter to pay with my $2.

When I walked up to the counter the sweet, old, Iranian man behind the counter asked me if I worked anywhere.

I told him that, yes, I did have a job but my husband was a full time grad student and he needed a job.

The sweet, old, Iranian man said, "We are 4 men and 1 woman here. I want YOU to work here. Not him."

Bahahahahaha!

So I went outside (holding his prize behind my back) and I asked Mark, "Sooooo, how much change did YOU bring back Mister?"

He said, "$1.01, what about you Missy?"

And I smiled as big as I could and said,

".71 cents and a FLIPPIN JOB OFFER!"

I got him Cheetos because they're his favorite snack and his friends at school make fun of him for eating them in his lunch so he doesn't take them anymore...so I bought him some!

Mark bought me sunflower seeds because back when we were dating I taught him how to appropriately eat sunflower seeds.

His previous method of eating them was just to chew them up, shell and all.

This makes for an unpleasant experience the next morning so he was happy to be taught how to eat them the right way.

Good gift babe.

Then it was off to dessert!

I looooove ice cream so we walked to our nearest Italian restaurant and shared some Neapolitan ice cream with pistachio's and cherries. MMMMMM!

We answered questions like, "I look at you and say wow because _____"

There were a few tears at this section, I'm not going to lie.

This was such an easy date night to do!

Mark and I decided we wanted to walk everywhere...

So we walked to McDonalds, walked to pizza place, walked to souvenir shop, walked to ice cream and then walked back home.

It was GREAT to be outside and to have all that uninterrupted time to talk to one another.

So here's my encouragement to you - it's easy.

Go start the GREAT DATE EXPERIMENT!

A little more NYC video

Just thought I'd add some fun videos from our NYC trip that were left out of the first post.

Let me explain the first video - we all had "code names" because saying our real name in public was too big of a national security issue. So all the random names you hear in the video, that's where that's coming from.

Second video is of us crossing the Brooklyn Bridge. My mom's "status" is classic.

Yosemite

Mark came back from Oxford (he took a class) and I came back from Atlanta (working) and we took a trip to YOSEMITE!

Mark has been before, but I really wanted to go camping in the park.

We had such a great time hiking, biking, camping, making fires and being afraid of bears.

This was a picture of a rainbow that the mist was making halfway up Mist Trail.

I was soaking wet by the time we got to the top...

I suppose they don't call it MIST Trail for nothing!

Mark had this strange obsession with "conserving firewood" which I thought was absurd.

I wanted a fire that put off warmth and he wanted to save the wood just in case we decided to stay longer.

We had 2 piles of firewood...

Funny video (with cute puppies!) below:

Cooper was LOVING being outside and sniffing everything...

Cali on the other hand hated it.

All she wanted to do was be underneath my feet.

Her poor little ears dragged the ground and her tail was tucked the whole time! :(

It was so wonderful to be by the water, out in  nature, hiking about.

The weather was AWESOME!

I made the best hobo's I've ever made while camping.

Easy recipe that can be made at the beach too!

This is Lower Yosemite Falls. (Upper Yosemite Falls is in the top right corner of the picture, not really sure why the dude that took the picture didn't get that in there too.)

This is a video of us taking a short stop while hiking up Vernal Falls.

The sound of the water falling down was so loud and powerful!

I definitely recommend traveling to Yosemite.

OH! And we also saw some sequoia trees also...

Girls Weekend 2009 - New York style!

Right to Left: April, me, Mom, Aunt Kim, Emmy, Jennifer and LaurieAnn.

Of course there was lots of eating involved on this trip.

One of my favorite places was Penelope (picture above):

1.) Because that's a nick name my family gave me a long time ago

2.) I love breakfast

3.) Because the restaurant was named after the owner's pet turtle

4.) Because they served "soysage" and "fakin' bacon"

There was this dessert place called Max Brenner...yes please.

You can see the elation on my face in this picture about how excited I was about dessert!

Wahahaha! This is us walking across the Brooklyn Bridge.

This is the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset.

The city skyline looked amazing as we were walking across.

This is a picture of us holding our poor, bruised and battered feet after we ran 10 blocks because of wrong directions (not Tom Tom's fault).

Wicked was AMAZING.

I think if I go back to NYC I want to stay at the Waldorf again, eat at lots more yummy places and watch like 10 shows!

This was my favorite NYC shot!

(It was totally my idea and after we got everyone walking in one direction at the same time, obviously it turned out to be a good idea!)

April had a GREAT idea to have a professional photographer come and take pictures of us the night we were all dressed up for Wicked on Broadway.

FAB idea sis :)

I love this picture of mom.

She is having such a good time.

Sister love.

April secretly loves me even though I drive her crazy.

All. The. Time.

Outside the Waldorf.

We had such a wonderful time!

I honestly would go anywhere with these girls....they make life FUN!

More bloggeriffic things about NYC at a later time today...

Just needed to share this.

The Met

We're visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art today!
Very exciting!!
I've learned a few things here...
1.) Egyptians are concerned with death
2.) Romans/Greeks are consumed with themselves (LOTS of naked self portraits)
3.) We (as a people) don't produce art (or anything for that matter) like we used to. Originality and detail is a lost art.
4.) Our group of girls is CLEARLY not mature enough to handle the Greek sculpture's anatomy.

It's been a great afternoon for the Met.
Now, off to Tavern on the Green!
It's a BEAUTIFUL day for Central Park!! :)
Have you ever been to NYC?
Is there something I've missed that I need to see??

Papparazzi

This is a pic of the papparazzi waiting to take pictures of Brooke Burke.
I feel so bad for these people.
She just wanted to buy food at the grocery store.
Can you IMAGINE going to the grocery store with 10 camera's in your face?
I mean, the way I usually look when I roll out for the grocery store is definitely not high style.

Now...by no means should we call Amy a hypocrite because I semi stalked/freaked out/took a picture with my cell phone hiding behind a pyramid of pots in Williams Sonoma of Jennifer Garner.
Because that is completely different.

Which famous person would you flip out about if you saw them reaching for the same box of cereal as you were in your grocery store?

Stimulus

Dear LowerMyBills.com,

Will you please explain to me how...

A picture girl doing a sit up coincides with Obama's stimulus bill?

Because apparently they go together seeing as though you popped this up on my computer as an advertisement.

I abhor advertisements (almost as much as I abhor Paula Abdul).

I wish we had DVR's for the internet.

I want to look at what I want to look at.

I do not want to watch/read/look at your silly advertisement.

Or a sweaty girl doing a sit up.

Thank you for not invading my life ever again.

Sincerely,

Amy

I have a problem...

I start books.

But I can't finish them.

I am currently "reading" 9 books.

I'm on chapters: 4, 3, 1, second to last, middle, 1, 2, preface, last (respectively from picture above - top to bottom)

Why can't I finish one before I move on to another?

Does anyone else have this problem??

I've heard if I read the Twilight books that I won't have this problem.

One of my friends said she has neglected her house and kids for 3 days straight because she's trying to finish Twilight!

She said, "I just want to finish so that I can have my life back!"

Maybe I need to read books like that.

Anyone have any suggestions for me on how I can finish what I've started??

I suppose this is what life will look like in 4-5 years.
Wow.

LaurieAnn

My wonderful cousin, LaurieAnn had joined the blogging world.

Now this means two things:

1.) Her name gets to come off my "List of people who I think should blog"

2.) You should read her blog because she is one of the funniest, coolest, most original people I know. And we share a shoe fetish so she's instantly cool.

So what does this mean for YOU?

It means you need to go read her blog HERE.

And if you need a little reminder of how cool LaurieAnn is...

Please go back and read/listen to my blog post on LaurieAnn's first sushi experience.

It will not disappoint.

And it has a video for all those out there that like to watch videos.

What would you be?

If I were a retail store...
I would be an Anthropologie.
What would you be?
I feel like every eclectic item in that store screams, "AMY!"
So...I'm interested.
Which store would you be?
What describes YOU?

Hiking again

Hiking might have become my new favorite thing to do.

I love to be outside and hiking you can set your own pace.

Now, this is no Half-Dome hike, but it was quite a serious hike for a Sunday afternoon.

I felt sorta bad for the 3rd couple we had with us.

They were visiting from Alabama and they didn't even have any hiking clothes (so they wore mine and Mark's).

I don't think they were expecting this sort of experience for the California visit.

Whoops.

Either way, we had lots of fun and April and Jordan's puppies came along too.

Cooper and Cali had to stay on the leash this time because they sort of run away.

This is a video (compliments of Mark) from when we reached the highest point.

There was a cross - that was our goal. To make it to the cross.

Funny, it seemed a lot closer than it really was.

 

April decided to put flowers in her hair along the hike...

And Jordan thought it would be really funny to hang Reina off the side of the mountain...

April Didn't think that was so funny.

Twitterific

So I've had a few inquiries about what Twitter is all about.

No, it's not something inappropriate, despite common belief that it is.

I am not an inappropriate type of person...anyhow.

Here is a little video to help you understand Twitter a little better:

My sister got me to sign up for Twitter, so I did.

Then I canceled my account.

Then I signed back up again.

Because it's cool and people are funnier on Twitter.

For those of you that STILL don't understand what Twitter is from the video...

Basically the "update your status" function on FaceBook, that's all Twitter is.

However if you have an iPhone or BlackBerry of any kind it's easier to keep up with your fellow Twitterer's.

You can add pictures and websites much easier.

AND as my good friend Jessica says, "People are just more daring and out there on Twitter."

SO SIGN UP AND TWITTER ME!

St. Patrick's Day post (a day late)

So I forgot to post this yesterday.

So sorry.

I love Ireland and I would live there for the rest of my life if all my family were there.

I read an article on CNN's AC360 yesterday that said the party in Dublin was great and that probably 60% of the people celebrating on O'Connell Street were Americans.

(See, I was supposed to be there.)

Anyhow, happy-one-day-late-St. Pat's-Day!

Oh and my parents 30th anniversary was yesterday.

But I'd like to share a little video blog with you today instead of typing everything.

Enjoy.
