Warning: You May Be Blinded by Pure Awesomeness

I hope you've all seen Kung Fu Panda. Cause that movie is awesome, and also is the inspiration for my sweet title. There are a few awesome things ahead. Don't worry though. There is no charge for awesomeness...or attractiveness. And I'm sure you'll think these next pictures are attractive indeed!

BEHOLD! WE ARE MEN!! (Haha, insert Men in Tights here. That was kinda the type of men we were most like I bet.) Here are all three pictures....yes I know I have the same expression. So I could never be a model, whatever. But Jen is fabulous in them all. It goes from left to right: Me, Heather, and Jen.

First off, those are Jones soda bottles. But now the story. It started when Jen came in said, "Mary, let's dress as men, beards and all!" or something to that effect. I thought this was a great idea, and since Heather was there, we recruited her too. It was way fun to paint on our beards with eyeliner. Surprisingly though, what helped more than the mustaches were the sideburns and especially the eyebrows. When our eyebrows suddenly grew bushy, then we truly looked manly. It was great! We had man-names too! I was Mario (hence the sombrero), Heater was Heath, and Jen was Juan. We practiced walking and talking like men too, which was almost better than drawing on the beards in the first place.

And now for some newly found wonderful things:

Frozen grapes. They are so gooood! They are hard like ice on the outside, but kinda gooshy/slushy in the inside. Yum! Also, it's great when your grapes are about to get too soft that they are no longer suitable for complete enjoyment. (I only like grapes really crunchy.) Perfect solution.

My roommate cooked the tastiest chocolate cookies ever. They are super easy: one box of chocolate cake mix, 1/2 cup of oil or butter, and 2 eggs. Mix it up, and maybe you can add some chocolate chips. Cook at 350. They are so easy and so good!! Yum yum yum.

Other wonderful things: watching Star Trek on a huge flat screen tv with surround sound.

: swimming on a hot day while playing some of the games from when I was a kid.

: FHE on Monday. Family feud. We won. Host in a tux. Commercial breaks that included Julian Smith videos. Awesome.

: Work breaks that last an hour. Supervised breaks I might add. :)

: Mangos. I bought some for the first time today. It. was. epic. ...kinda.

: my newest nephew Luke!!!!! He is super cute and I love him already. Can't wait to go out to CO in a few weeks to see him! Also, Shayla could be born any day now...I'm excited to see her too. I'm going out to CA this weekend to be with them.

Anywho, I think that's it. Life's been good. Summer's fun. School starts in like 3 weeks, and I'm kinda ready. It'll actually be nice to get back to a life that has purpose.
