Chocolate covered bacon day.

Yes - you read that correctly. Today my office enjoyed some scrumptious chocolate covered bacon. Don't believe me? Here's a picture to prove it.And here's a close up...

Mrs. Dr. Jack (my co-worker) had blogged about it a few weeks ago and I'm horrified to say that it actually sounded good. So today was the day we were all able to experience it for ourselves. And trust me, it is definitely an experience! The result? It was actually pretty good and I would recommend, that if given the opportunity, you try some. And by opportunity, I mean make some at home. Along with the bacon, we enjoyed a wonderful game of Taboo and Last Word. It was reminiscent of our last game day but this one was even better because little CJ joined us. Happy (early) Birthday America! I hope everyone has a great 4th of July!

Cutie.

I went to the Hub the other day to help clean and organize but by the time I got there most of the cleaning and organizing was done. So while they finished up the last few things, I watched one of my favorite babies and took a few pictures to test out my camera. Christopher asked if she is really as cute as he thinks she or if he's just biased - our answer was that she really is cute. You can be the judge...

The Summer Office.

I was browsing the Pop Candy Blog this afternoon and found this...

"The Office may not return until fall, but a few cast members will participate in a new batch of summer webisodes.

Check out a behind-the-scenes look at the webisodes, along with these select scenes that give us a peek at the storyline. It appears Kevin (Brian Baumgartner), Darryl (Craig Robinson), and Oscar (Oscar Martinez) are central characters in a plot that involves a silly ice-cream scam."

They begin July 10th on nbc.com - can't wait!!

Nothing.

That's what I did this weekend and believe it or not, it was actually kind of nice. I had Friday off and tried to sleep in as much as possible but woke up at 8am (I remember when sleeping in meant at least 11am!) I guess those days are over. I ran some errands and stopped by Best Buy and ended up buying a new camera! It's a Canon PowerShot and it has a color accentuation feature that I noticed on some pictures posted over on Liana Dickson's blog - and I love it! Big improvement over my last camera.

I watched a little John and Kate plus 8 and rearranged my room. I love doing that....it's like a brand new space now! I also started gathering up things for a yard sale - I hate doing yard sales but I like the results - so I suffer through it. I think the lucky days will be August 4th and 5th unless it's super hot, then I'll postpone it another month.

I also managed a trip to Ikea and bought a few things for the house - I love that store. Whenever I'm there, I feel like I'm in Sweden all over again! I even bought some Lingonberry Preserves...yummy!

Jazz hands.

Last night a group of us from Revolution met up at Disneyland and made Christopher Lytle's life long dream come true! Okay, maybe it wasn't a life long dream, but he's been talking about it for at least a year. He wanted to get an elevator full of Revolution folks on Tower of Terror and of course get the picture. We faced a road block at first when some Disney worker said that he could lose his job (since we didn't have the full 21 people needed to fill the thing.) But we were persistent and somehow he was convinced otherwise. It was so much fun! I've never seen or been a part of a group that was as excited to ride that thing as we were! It's so out of control and regardless of how many times you ride it, it's always just as scary as the first!

And thanks to Chris Koble for treating us to the pictures. Now we each have a souvenir from the evening - thanks Chris. The only downside from a very fun night is there were some Downey peeps who should have been in the picture but weren't, but there's always next time! And yes, I did just used the word peeps.

Troy Aikman is not black.

This video is for everyone who was at Jenny's going away/birthday fiesta on Saturday night. I must say that it was a wonderful evening with friends, margaritas, and lots of laughter. One of the highlights was what occurred in this video. Two wonderful things came together - Jenny doesn't like riding bikes and doesn't really know how to ride one AND Jessica bought a pinada for Jenny since it was a Mexican themed party. Well somehow it was suggested that Jenny ride a bike into the pinada. There was several attempts and this is the one that still has me laughing. She basically dove into it - with her head. I love the reaction of the people in the background...unfortunately, there is no audio but just imagine lots of laughing...

Here's another one showing just how difficult it was for her to ride a bike...

On top of that, we played a few great rounds of Mafia (I was killed right off the bat TWICE!!) and we played a rousing game of Celebrity. Now whenever I think of Cedric the Entertainer - I think of this night!

Jenny - you're definitely going to be missed but I'm certain you're going to have a great time living up north, enjoying your new house, and your great new job!! And course whenever I say "I will" or in our case "I won't" - I'll think of you!

Who says housing is unaffordable?

There was an article in the OC Register last week highlighting some of the properties that were recently sold at auction. Here's one located in beautiful Santa Ana that caught my eye.

What a bargain!!

How embarrassing.

Last night was sad. Pathetically, horribly, atrociously sad. I'm still a fan, but it's going to take awhile for me to forget that 39 point loss. But now that my flag is off and my recliner is in the garage, maybe Angelo and Lori can be my friends again.

Not bad.

Need a new recliner?

I'm back from my trip to Portland and I had a great time! It was wonderful spending time with family and enjoying the gorgeous weather. It was clear skies and in the mid to upper 70's the entire time - just perfect!

I didn't take too many pictures given that my camera wasn't working properly (so I don't have any to post) - the screen is black and the image doesn't appear until after the picture is taken, which means it might be time for a new camera!

I'm also sick - just a cold but still not fun. I think I've sneezed more in the past 36 hours than I have my entire life - it's been seriously out of control. At one point I counted 11 in a row.

I am heading home from work soon and I'll be watching the Lakers win game 6 tonight (hopefully!) However, I will not be watching the game on this fine piece of furniture. Who knew you could even buy a Lakers recliner?? They also have sofas, but this sweet thing could be yours for just $590 bucks! Any takers??
