Mama Debbi's BDAY!!

It was Blair's Mom's birthday yesterday, she turned........ yeah, I'm not that stupid, you'll have to get that from someone else. Anyway, we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Cafe Rio....
Then she opened some presents in the parking lot since we were all going our separate ways afterward....
Blair got to go to work from there, while I got to celebrate Mother-in-law's birthday at Foreigner with my own mom and this rowdy bunch...
I didn't mean for Erin to be in so many pictures but she just had to poke her head in with her mom and that boy she was with, Chad. And the picture doesn't Brady's fro and beard justice, nor could he keep his eyes open for any of the pictures. Its okay Brady, just keep smiling. Mom and Jody were like old (I mean young) groupies, dancing in the aisles and trying to grab the band members, while Becky was entranced by the lead singer's wardrobe, stop staring. Becky did get Mick Jones' guitar pick, I don't think she'll ever know what to do with it, but she has it anyways. The show "Felt like the First Time" that I had been so close at any Tuachan production, 4th row!!!! And it was definitely "Cold as Ice". But by the end everyone was "Hot Blooded" and Mom's "Double Vision" went away enough so that she could get us home safely. Corny jokes, but I don't care. It was a fun night we got home just in time to see James Loney draw a bases loaded walk in the bottom of the ninth to win the Dodger's 4th game in a row.

Happenings...

So Blair brought home some cookies from work ....
She really can't expect me to eat something out of that bag, can she?
I didn't end up eating it, she did, and she is still alive so either the bag really was clean or she has just built up an immunity to that stuff since she is always around it. I wasn't taking any chances.

A Model of Consistency...

Consistently inconsistent that is. It appears I am unable to post within 2 weeks of when an event has occurred. But its my blog so I can post whenever I want.
Valentines Day recap: Blair worked the night before Valentines, so at midnight I brought her some In-n-Out for her 'lunch' break (which is about as far away from lunch as you can get). I had cleaned the house (downstairs) and left out some roses for her along with some mini cadbury eggs (combining holidays; I kinda like it), so she would have somethin' nice to come home to @ 7 in the AM:
So she came home and woke me up all happy like... I think I just rolled over and went back to sleep (that's still a little early for me). When I did finally wake up and go downstairs for breakfast I was met with this:
That would consist of a box of Rice Krispies TREATS and a box of Little Debbie Valentine brownies (red frosting isn't as good as regular fudge, but.... still good). The hearts on the cabinets added a nice girly valentine's day touch to the whole scene, but I was pleasantly surprised (Blair has done a good job of surprising me recently: ex. the surprise Birthday Party). So that was V-day morning, Blair worked that night again so this was the extent of our day.

The day before Valentine's Day actually brought some good news....... I got invited to an interview at USC Dental School ("Fight On!"), which took place Feb. 27, and I felt went very well (hopefully the admissions staff felt the same way). It was crazy thinking about the possibility of going to SC, a school I have dreamed about going to since before I can remember (I tried not to think about that while I was at the school, so as to not psych myself out). Now we are just waiting to hear back, which could be in a few weeks (if it is good news) or longer. That night we went out to dinner with Jeremy and Brieann to Sparks Stonefire Grill on the Huntington Beach Pier, very very VERY good food. We took our camera but the battery was dead so I don't have a picture, just waiting for Brieann to post it on her blog so I can swipe it from her (I didn't expect to be the first to post about this HUGE event Brie). So that is what has happened around here, Adios.

Randon Q's...

Answering questions seems easier than coming up with random things so I'll answer these.
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Not officially, though my parents got the idea of Tyler from Ty Cobb. Come to find out his real name was Tyrus and not Tyler, but we do share the same birthday.

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? Never, too manly to cry. It was this morning when I woke up and Blair didn't leave me enough milk for my cereal. I cried until the liquid was high enough I could finish.

3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Yeah, Love it.

4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Probably beef, since I have a lot of burgers for lunch, but if you are talking thin sliced deli lunch meat I'd say turkey.

5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? Not that I know of.

6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Who is asking these questions? I'm probably too cool to be friends with myself, to be honest. I'd probably think I was a tad goofy and look down upon myself. Or I'd be super jealous of my good looks and quick wits, so I'd might hate myself as well.

7. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? NEVER!!!!

8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yeah.

9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Yeah I would.

10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? Just one? I love Rice Krispies TREATS and Cookie Crisp, but lately Fruit Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles have been on sale so I've been eating a lot of them. And Blair doesn't like any of those so I get the whole box to myself, something I have dreamed about ever since my first sibling was born.

11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? not consciously, but I'm sure there are times when I do. But that's nowhere near my weirdest organizational habit that I have.

12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? Nope, I don't think, I know I'm strong.

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? Sweet cream from Cold Stone, Pralines'n Cream from Baskin Robbins, or a chocolate dipped vanilla cone from DQ.

14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? If they are ugly or beautiful.

15. RED OR PINK? Pink, see #12.

16. WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? I can't find an antiperspirant that actually works.

17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? I miss having John in one of my classes.

18. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO SEND THIS BACK TO YOU? Well, I don't want it sent to me per se, but they can blog it.

19. WHAT COLOR SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? White

20. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE? Fruity Pebbles.

21. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? La Oreja de Van Gogh

22. IF YOU WHERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE? Half black half white, then I could know what its like to be Obama.

23. FAVORITE SMELLS? A wrestling room.

24. WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE? My dad, but I've texted my wife more recently.

25. DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU? No one sent this to me.

26. FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH? Football, Wrestling (not fake), Basketball, Baseball, I like watching all of them.

27. HAIR COLOR? Brown

28. EYE COLOR? Whats up with all these racial questions? Blue

29. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS? You mean, do I have bad eyes? Yes, I do, sometimes contacts sometimes glasses.

30. FAVORITE FOOD? Fruits: Mango, Dragon Fruit, Guava, Strawberries and Watermelon.

31. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? Twilight, any other movie isn't even a movie.

32. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED? Braveheart, I saw it for the first time last weekend on TV when Blair was at work. I recorded it then made Blair watch it with me again the next night. Nowhere near as good as Twilight though (sigh).

33. WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING? White, I am very conscious of coordinating colors, see #19.

34, SUMMER OR WINTER? It is winter right now, I've seen a lot of people get this one wrong. But I enjoy summer far more.

35. HUGS OR KISSES? Are these my only options for affection? I would be miserable. But since there are far more people I would hug, and not kiss, I'll say hugs.

36. FAVORITE DESSERT? Brownie with vanilla ice cream, again aiming towards the mulatto theme.

37. MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND? I want John, Kent, Jeremy and Kirby to do this, not their wives, I want to see them MAN UP and make a post on their blog.

38. LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND? Probably Kent, John at least admits he reads blogs, Kent says he doesn't even know how get on his... blah, blah, blah.

39. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW? Downstairs: To Draw Closer to God, Upstairs: Articles of Faith, With Blair: Book of Mormon, we are trying to do the 60 day thing.

40. WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? Don't use a mouse, at home at least. At work I think it is some GeoEnergy thing because Global Warming is killing us all and we all need to stop breathing, because with every breath we put more CO2 into the atmosphere, I just raised the oceans by 0.00000002 cm while typing this sentence.

41. WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON TV LAST NIGHT? College Basketball and The O'Reilly Factor

42. FAVORITE SOUNDS? I could get myself in trouble with this question, I won't. I like Dr. Allen's laugh. Or the sounds of Spring cause then I know its time to go catch bugs.

43. ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES? I guess the Stones, but I'll take Zeppelin or Van Halen over either, if I'm staying Classic Rock.

44. WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME? Buenos Aires, Argentina, that was just the airport, Paraguay if airports don't count.

45. DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT? Yeah, you know those boogers that are way up there, I can get them without waiting until tomorrow.

46. WHERE WERE YOU BORN? I wasn't officially born, it was more like I was ripped out of my mom's belly, and that happened in a hospital room, kinda boring I know, I thought so too.

47. WHOSE ANSWERS ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING BACK? Jeremy's, Kent's, Kirby's and John's.

The Giving of Thanks...

Turkey Bowl, Flag Football turned into ... half-contact football, but resulted in no trips to the ER
Human clue, probably the game of the night, though 'do you love your neighbor?' was close
Adult content during said game of human clue, watching Justin, Randy, my dad and Mikeee give each other lap dances drew a couple laughs.
No School, any break from school is a reason to celebrate
Knockin' Courtney out! tackling each other in the dark can lead to people cracking their heads on the floor, Ouch!
Sucking back on the Martinelli's, we bought a 12 pack from Harmon's and I drank most of them
Great food!! The Shaw's prepared a great spread, I especially love the twice baked potatoes
Invertebrate Zoology, even being away from school couldnt't keep me from thinking about this
Victory! As in USC's victory over Nueter Dame (38-3).
I couldn't contain my excitement for Twilight!! My head is still spinning from the unstable camera though.
No alarm clocks... 'nuff said.
Going shopping.... not so early in the morning. This somewhat goes along with the previous line.

Nothing..

I'm just sick of seeing that BYU picture every time. Maybe I'll do an end of year update sometime... then again maybe not, considering the fact I've been saying that for over a month now, meh.
