Superhero capes, cuponk, and fried chicken.

Last night we had ourselves a rowdy game of Cuponk!
THAT'S SOBER BEER PONG, FOOLS.
You may think we're drinking alcohol, but not so.
:]
It was actually apple cider and egg nog.
So we're calling it APPLE CIDER EGG NOG PONG.
BAM.
(Try to say that 5 times fast)

We started out the game by each taking a turn wearing my superhero cape.

Victory.

From this point on, we had the winners of each card wear the superhero cape.
Then we found out the characters on the cards had special outfits on, too.
Which, oddly enough, I had those articles lying around the house.

Nooooo!

Tim laying down the law.

Rawr. I'm Chelsea.

Zac won!
So...

He had to wear the tutu, head band, and super hero cape!
Bahahaha.

This isn't too embarrassing, honey. I promise.
*Note- I never won a card. :[

[SCENE BREAK]
I tried very hard to make my grandmother's fried chicken recipe tonight.
My mother passed it down to me...
Just as I shall pass it down to my daughter.
*Wise gaze into the distance*

THIS. WAS. HARD.
Oh.Em.Gee. was it difficult.
But Zac helped me, thank goodness.

I see you, sugar stealer.

Dinner for two.

In the end, the dinner was quite delicious.
We just wanted more of it.
Wah wah wah!
First world problems.

bookworming and other miscellaneousness

What I'm reading...

Still trucking along with "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close."

Currently on page 208 and reading through 261 tonight for hw.

We discussed a particular passage from the reading today in my lit class.

We applied the idea Bush coined, "The Axis of Evil," to Oskar seeing similarities in his opening night audience of Hamlet; most of the audience shares the last name Black.

It was a very interesting conversation, one that I didn't want to end.

This is a collection of short stories written by Stephen King, obviously.
My mother purchased this book for me when we were on a long trip...possibly to Branson? Or maybe Colorado?
I finished "Gingerbread Girl" on Sunday night for the second time.
Now I'm onto "Ayana."

What I'm listening to...
"Sophia" by Laura Marling

First ever outfit post!

My awesome sweater vest came from DI.

My mother made my skirt.

breakfast in bed sunday

What a long week. 

Whoa. 

I got to hug my dad again, meet his girlfriend, eat home-cooked meals, watch sappy movies, explore downtown Denver, sit in an Irish pub [while sipping a Pepsi], fall in love with Zac all over again, and cuddle with some adorable dogs. 

I also got this skirt at H&M on Friday afternoon.
I'll be wearing it to Emily's wedding! Hooray!

Happiness, happiness, happiness.
Zac and I finally made it back to Provo last night after a long day stuck at the Salt Lake bus station.
We left Denver at 12:40 am and got into Salt Lake at 10:35 am.
Our next bus was scheduled to leave Salt Lake at 6:50 pm therefore getting us in Provo by 8 or so.
Then we'd have to walk the four miles from the bus station in Provo all the way to our apartment.
With 5 pieces of luggage.
We were placing our suitcases grudgingly in an expensive locker at the bus station when a woman came up to us and said she'd talked with one of the workers and had them place her luggage in a back room b/c she'd be in Salt Lake for 8 hours.
We followed suit.

 [Flashback: On our 4 hour layover when we were going to Denver, Zac and I went on a walk and stumbled on a mall! We window shopped, ate some cheap Applebee's, and shared some Rocky Mountain Chocolate. We had no idea we would be getting a date. I pulled Zac into Anthropologie, myself never being in the actual store. We found this and this and this and were shocked at the prices. haha]

Our last night in Colorado before our midnight bus.

After putting our stuff in the back room, we decided to go back to the mall.
We ate McDonalds [$6 total], window shopped, and read for several hours in Barnes & Noble.

Zac texted Tim to ask him if he could pick us up [b/c he works in Salt Lake]. He obliged.
We got back to the bus station around 2:30 pm, expecting to get our stuff and wait for Tim to pick us up.
How wrong we were.

><
Come to find out, the ticket office and the terminal closes from 12 pm-5 pm. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. WTF.
We stood outside the back room door, paced the bus station, and stalked potential bus station workers for several hours. By that point, I was tired, hungry, sweaty, and just plain filthy. Zac was stressed and frustrated. We both just wanted go home, shower, eat dinner, and fall into bed.

Tim shows up at 4, ready to take us home, but we still don't have our stuff. We think some workers will show up b/c a bus arrival is expected at 4:30. The bus never comes.

At our wits end, we finally flag down a worker, he opens the back room, we grab our stuff, and head home.

After thanking Tim profusely for everything he did that day, Zac made some Shells and Cheese, while I started unpacking our luggage. I got two suitcases back from my dad that I'd left in Colorado last July, so being reunited with my clothes and knickknacks was AMAZING. I won't be needing clothes for a long time. And that is so happy, I think.
We ate our dinner, showered, and spent our evening together.

We slept late today, he made me breakfast in bed, and now I'm setting out to finish unpacking my long lost clothes. haha :]

[SCENE BREAK]
We found out yesterday my older sister Pam is engaged! 

HOORAY!

Good break, if I do say so myself.

:]

attack of the adorable

Happy Thanksgiving!

On the way to my dads house.

Spending time with my dad for the first time in a year and a half!

I think this picture is too wonderful for words.
