*My papers are officially in! I am open for bets! Closest guess gets a candy bar!*

What think ye...?

Having a baby is a miraculous thing. Your body goes from this

to this...and somehow lives through it!

Your hormones also go from this

to this and...somehow our dear husbands live through it!

But something that your body does not do so well is change from this

to this.

Somehow, 2 months after having this baby, my belly still looks something like this. (minus the hair. I promise preganancy did not make me grow belly hair)

I've made it back to my pre pregnancy weight, but not quite my pre pregnancy shape (aparantly having a baby is a big deal for the body...)

I've been exercising here and there and been doing really good...well, really good on some days. Most days I seem to find myself forgetting, not finding time, or not making exercise a priority. I didn't think it was too huge of a deal until realizing it has been 2 months-2 MONTHS and I still have some extra belly flub going on. I was just realizing that if I wanted it competely gone, some serious action would need to take place.

Does everyone remember  when we used to have exercise competions? We would do it separately, or keep track in teams and then in the end the winner(s) would win something stupid like a handful of nickles. Do you remember that? Well, I always found it fun a really really motivating. I thought: Dang! I need apartment 30 to help me loose weight!

So...what think ye? Do we want to organize another exercise competition, and if so, who wants to participate, how should we do it (individually, on teams with other apt 30 girls, or on teams with someone who lives close to us) what should the incentive be, and how do we reward the winner(s)? Here are some of my thoughts:

-I really loved being on teams with another apt 30 girl. It was really fun to secretely keep track of our exercise hours.
-It also is a challenge to split into teams, because it's difficult to put together completely even teams.
-I think it would be motivating to have someone we live with, or close to, as a team member, since it is always a motivator to have someone there pulling you out of bed when ya don't have the desire to do it.
-I loved having a prize. The nickle one was perfect cuz it didn't break the bank and for some reason it was SUPER motivating, even though the winner only won something like $1.20. Since when is that motivating? Since apartment 30 is that motivating!!!
-If we do a prize, how would we get it to the winner? We don't live close to each other, so we can't just hand over our nickles, or whatever else the prize is.
-It's sorta become tradition to eat at Jason's Deli on Conference weekend since that is when a lot of us are in town, we could have that as the goal time for a competition, and bring the prize there (but we would still probably want to make it mail-able in case the winner can't meet us there)

In conclusion, I think this would be a good idea/starting point. (Tell me what you think, give me additional ideas.)
I think we should do 2 teams. This way we can be on a team with apartment 30 girls as well as our husbands, boyfriends, sisters, mothers, and other close friends. This is also easier to make it more evenly matched (I think...maybe not, but whatever). I also think the prize should be mail-able (nickles may end up being on the expensive side to mail seeings that they are kinda bulky). I was kinda thinking that loosers buy ice cream at Jasons Deli (since the ice cream is free! haha. Just kidding, but funny, yes?) I really am terrible at coming up with a prize for the winner(s), so help me out here ladies!
The next Conference weekend is the first weekend in October. This gives us about a month an a half to exercise. I think by time we get going, this will be perfect for a short exercise competition. So, I think the time span should be between now and then.

Those are all my thoughts, so let me know if you want to participate and what your thoughts are (especially for the motivation/incentive/prize).
That's all! Hopefully with the help of apartment 30 my belly will get back to the shape it used to be in! Haha! (No more hairy man belly! Haha!)

Okay...HUGE NEWS FLASH... so listen up!

Dear Friends,
I have been away for a while now in the land of Windy College. I have been on a roller coaster called life and have failed miserably to keep up with my dear apt. 30 sisters... so I regret to inform you in such an informal manner the following news, yet am very thrilled to be sharing this news with all of you! In the mean time, forgive my lack of ability to keep in touch.

Yesterday, around 6pm, a Mike boy of mine proposed to me. I, Spooner, said yes to Mike's proposal. I am now wearing an engagement ring! True story. Papa Spooner and Mama Spooner gave Mike permission this last weekend to ask my hand in marriage. I hope you all will have an opportunity to meet Mike as none of you have ever met him in person before. I love him to death and am pleased to announce we will be getting married in March 2013. (So I can go on my Disney College Program and then plan the said wedding).

I am so very happy about this and couldn't be more pleased with my choice to marry the man of my dreams. Spooner now has a Mike to spoon. lol. I get to marry my very best friend and the man I love most in all the world. :)

I love ya all and hope to talk to you gals soon to spill more details. Until then...I'm off to take my remaining finals for the semester.

Happily in Love,
Spooner :)

Dinner!!!!!!!

Okay...I've been saving up tasty morsels of life so that I may share with all of you!!! And I've been waiting till the biggest and tastiest morsel was ready for devouring!!!! I hope you are all ready for this because it is going to be epic!!! I'm going to try and build the momentum so the least tastiest first..... yet still yummy!!!!!

Appetizer:

Where I work I see lots of names.... and some of them are hilarious!!! OK. Here are names of note as of late:

1. Chewbaca (First name for a little girl mind you. No joke. As in the Yeti off of Star Wars.)
2. Gabby Goo (First and Last name for a girl.)
3. Fierce (First name for a boy.)
4. Terror (First name for a boy. Again. No joke.)
5. Mrs. Pennifile (For a teacher. Rhymes with pedophile, no?)

First Course:

When I went to the temple with a friend of mine we were just chatting as we walked up to the main doors. Then her head turned to look diagonally behind us and mine followed. There was this guy holding a Pikachu and he was dressed as Ash Ketchum. Red hat plus vest. Then he went down on one knee. P.S he was talking to a girl and holding her hand the whole time he was dressed like that. Yep. I felt super legit that Ash purposed at the temple and I saw it!!!

Second Course:

While at work there were these two girls who were writing instructions to do different things and because I'd never done this particular task they used me as a trial run to see if I could understand and complete it using their written instructions. So girl A is my test subject and girl B is simply an onlooker. This particular task deals with High School Senior pictures. We have the option to take personalized photos. As in if you are in to sports bring a basketball or if your into music you'd bring your instrument. So. I asked her what she would be wearing for that picture and she says “I'm going to be wearing my wrestling onesie.” Oh. My. Good. Ness. I lost it. I was busting up so badly!!! (P.S Wrestling, the sport mind you, does not happen in onesies.) So, when I had the ability to speak again I asked what props 'he' would have. She answered with, “Yeah, I'll have my wrestling shoes and wrestling earmuffs.” My cheeks hurt so badly from laughing so hard!!!! P.P.S Wrestling also does not happen wearing earmuffs.

Third Course:

I went to an MTC reunion thing of a friend of mine. I brought a couple friends of mine who had been called to his mission and he thought it'd be great for them to be exposed to several who served in that mission. So we came and we saw. It was fantastic! There were 9 missionaries who came and they were all breaking off into broken English mixed with their language. The parts I understood were hilarious!!! There were these two sister missionaries who were companions in the MTC. (P.S MTC is the Missionary Training Center where LDS missionaries go before they actually depart on their missions to receive extra training.) One of the stories they told went like this. Sister A had to leave the room to go get something or other and Sister B had just heated up a microwave pizza. A bunch of sisters had been walking by when they asked her if she wanted to pray with them. So she said yes because saying no was sorta not an option. “Nope I've decided that praying is not for me. You go ahead.” You see the problem. Her pizza had beeped just before they had asked her so she was holding her very warm pizza in her hands. Then they all knelt in a circle as she is holding out this pizza in her hands. Her companion comes back and sees this random group of sisters kneeling with her companion as her companion is holding out this pizza in the middle of the circle. When they were done Sister A says to Sister B “Sister B I was gone for eleven seconds and I come back and your praying to a Pizza!!!!” Can I get an LOL!!! (Laugh out Loud. NOT Lots of Love.)

Dessert:

So I've told some if not all of you about my project I've been working on. So here is the final product.

Where are we?

 

Zombie has an amazing husband. Zombie and her husband LOVE to travel . They spend a lot of their free time  roaming the area searching for brains. This is especially EPIC for Zombie as she has never roamed these parts before and never partaken of such brains. However,  not ever being in these here parts before is also a problem!! .. WHY? you may ask! Well Zombies husband for the most part has epic navigational skills. He knows the area well, he knows where all the good brains are located. But sometimes, and for the life of zombie she can not figure out why, he thinks its necessary to take the "back roads" !

"Honey, I'm going to take a "short-cut". " Says Husband Zombie "It will be SO MUCH faster I am sure."

Sometimes this is true, but for the most part the "short-cut" turns a 40 minute adventure into a 2 Hour and 47 Minute Adventure. Sometimes this is awesome as we get to EXPLORE and ROAM and find NEW BRAINS.............. other times not so much ...

Like when we miss a dinner reservation.

Exploring the area against her will, 

ZOMBIE

The Many Adventures of Mini

Mini Recently took a road trip! She went to Las Vegas, Baby!
The trip was nice. She went with Mike & Lunch Pale for Mike's cousin's wedding in the Las Vegas temple.



Mini in front of the temple.One day Mini, Mike, & Lunch Pale all ate lunch at a park. Mini wanted to play. But, it was really chilly/windy outside, so that didn't last long. :)
On the last day there, we all walked on the strip. We went to the M & M world, Coke Factory, saw the lion habitat sans lions at the MGM Grand, and basked in the beauty of the Venetian. At the end of our time, we took the monorail back to the car and drove home. All in all, an amazing trip. :D
Mini sure loved it.

A dream above all dreams that MUST be shared...

Zombie has strange dreams. Some are EPIC . Read on my friend.

Once upon a time Harry Potter was having the birthday party of the century. It was going to be HUGE it was going to be EPIC and the entire wizarding community coveted invitation to this glorious event. So naturally he invited Zombie to attend. It was being held at hogwarts of course and she was so EXCITED. The best part of this shin dig was that Harry Potter had booked the backstreet boys to perform at his party. She made sure she had front row seats to the live concert as well because Harry Potter and Zombie were tight yo. Anyhow, at the party as the backstreet boys were in the middle of their concert Voldemort decided it would be a grand time to ruin Harry Potters life and crash the party. He is about to kill Harry Potter leaving the world and wizarding community in total devastation BUT DO NOT FEAR .... The spice girls come in with spectacular girl power and kick voldemortes BUTT!!!

Then Zombie wakes up....

Oh yeah .... EPIC!

The Canadian Border Patrol Man continues on...

Soooo....coolness. My brothers finally saw "Canadian Border Patrol Man!" I heard them quoting it today and my mom and I looked up shocked! haha! They don't believe me that I didn't hear it from them first however. How naive they are. But my mom vouches for me saying I've been quoting it for forever and a day now! I'm pretty sure I told them at one point to look it up as well.... ah! The curse of being the little sister! :P Anywho... It was funness quoting the epic video with my elder brothers. Happy Day! :)

I know....that was random. That's just what ya get.
Oh and P.S. Happy Thanksgiving Day!
Peace! <3 Spooner

TUTU's and Broken Butts

SO Zombie, Dishtowel, and AWESOME #1 all got together for a night of epic adventure. It started out with a quick call to our dear friend MIKE ... oh how sad when the ringing of the phone ended in a voicemail box. Zombie acting as Dishtowel left MIKE a rather important message with specific set of directions on how to get to THE CLUB. As we were dancing to the beat and skating to the rhythm our eyes beheld many many 12 year old skanks. I wonder if their mothers knew what they were dressed like. What they were doing. I was rather shocked. Anywho ... our tutu's were whoooshing in the wind. We were all picking up speed, we were all feeling the groove. Then Awesome # 1 decided that Zombie was being a bit to prideful and let her wheels collide with zombies. I fell on my bottom my tutu was everywhere my matching headband askew.
Ultimately my bottom was broken.
. . . Ok its fine but it hurts.
Overall, it was a glorious evening full of wonder for only one dollar!
We invite you all to come to THE CLUB in THE LITTLE CITY. Just cover your eyes 12 year olds can scar you for life.

<3 / Zombie.

Mullet explanation

Okay. I have made a realization.
The last blog entry needs a little bit of explanation.
This heart is made out of fliers.
These fliers are nasty. They have a picture of a shirtless hairy chested mullet man. We found the flier on our door and cringed.
but. Then we had a brilliant idea.


*flashback
Okay. So...a while ago we pranked Mike's apartment.
Mike said he would get us back, but their apartment still hasn't done so.

*fastforward
We decided to use the fliers to do some good.
So...we gathered 22 fliers, and colored a strawberry shortcake picture. The picture says "Gifts for Friends." We also wrote on it. It says, "Dear Apartment, We are waiting. Enjoy!" Zombie, Twoderful and I used our ninja skills in posting this on Mike's door.



Twoderful thinks mullets can be amazing.
I am still firm in my belief that they are gross.
What about you?
How do mullets make YOU feel?

signing off: Dish Towel.

22 Hairy Mullet Men

Is a picture really worth 1,000 words?
You tell me.
Look closely.

Chipmunks and Par-tays

Yesterday was epic. One of us had her wisdom teeth removed, but is fine, just a bit swollen. Actually, she looks like the female version of the godfather with the swollen chops. Mike took real good care of her and the rest of the apartment kept checking up on her after he left, to which she greatly appreciated.
And there was a party celebrating the birth of one of the coolest people ever. There was excitement around the apartment all day.
All of our finals are over and we are ready for summer.
But the apartment upheaval is underway and all I have to say is that I am a bit upset by the change. *sigh* But, all is for the best and those removing themselves will just have to be leeches, in the good way of course. ;)
Why is it snowing? -Lunch Pale-

Cowboy Hats, Bears, Pogo Stick searching, Tulle, and A shiny new trophy

DISCLOSURE: Yesterday may or may not have been the birthday of DISHTOWEL.
That means that it was or was not EPIC.

Sidewalk chalk is an amazing thing.
Dishtowel and Zombie went on an adventure in the LITTLE CITY to see sights there eyes had never before held. Upon their arrival at the "Treasure Chest" many glorious things were waiting. In the end after wading through rivers of shoes and mountains of knick knacks ... Our treasures were each found. While Dishtowel walked away with an amazing hat and some sweet new shades Zombie had found a treasure above all others. A golden TROPHY ... Which from this point on will be named the TOken of Apartment Thirties friendship. The lucky receiver of this trophy should treasure it for all eternity.

Tulle anyone?
We bought enough yards of this stuff to cover the continent. < That was a gross exaggeration. I'm just being honest and a good friend. Perhaps you will see what these are being made to in the future. Any Guesses?

After this Zombie and Dishtowel met up with Spooner and Twoderful to take our friend MIKE to the shopping center. While there we searched diligently for a pogo stick. Our efforts did not end in reward. WE ARE STILL SEARCHING .
