"Friday" - so annoying. So catchy.

Rebecca Black's "Friday" music vido has gone viral!  I've watched it so many times for a good laugh that it's been stuck in my head off and on since Friday (how appropriate).  Video found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD2LRROpph0

Kim and I are sitting in the Kitchen.  Kim tells me: "Kelly, we could make our own songs at this rate.  God, we could make one about hairdryers, I've got material we can use!"

The start to our song, compliments of Kim: 

Beautiful, Beautiful, Where should I sit? in the kitchen: stools!  Stools!  Or the chair, or the chair, I don’t know what I should do, because today is Beautiful, Beautiful!

All of this arose after a conversation about adjectives.  I love it. 

Mondays are rough

On Mondays this term, I have two classes: 2 hours of rock climbing, and a 1-hour Volleyball class that usually lasts 2 because a bunch of us play after class.  Kim also has 2 classes: an 8 a.m. Animal Science class, followed by Rock Climbing with me, which ends at 11.  Then, she's done-zo.  Sounds nice, right?  Well, it is, except she always had a crap-ton of work due on Tuesday, and so her Mondays after climbing are hellacious.

I got back from Volleyball around 4:45 to find Kim sitting at the table, surrounded by papers and books and typing furiously on her computer.  I noticed a glass of wine next to her computer.

Kelly: "Kim, I'm so happy you've already busted into the Cabernet.  You go."

Kim: "Yeah, well, I was contemplating not pouring a glass, because it would make me feel like a Wine-o.  Then, I realized that I am a wine-o, and I was ok with it*"

*Wine-o in the sense that we love wine and drink it often.  Not that we're drunk off wine on a nightly basis.  Just wanted to clarify.

A Cookie Fetish

Kim is very open about her cookie addiction.  I appreciate it, because she provides a forum where I can also discuss my brownie addiction.

Tonight, we indulged in a few cookies from a local place, Taylor Street Ovens.  It was my first Taylor Street experience, and Kim was raving about it. (Rightfully so, the gingerbread (my favorite) was delicious!)

Kim:"I feel sickish, and think after 6 mini cookies, I need to stop.  I think my problem is that I actually love Taylor Street Oven cookies.  Have you ever had the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookies?"
Me: "Nope, just gingerbread and chocolate chip."
Kim: "They are...well, I could pop those cookies like House pops Vicadin."

Cooking in a bathrobe.

Tonight, Kim and I threw together a meal, but after hours of PAC classes and working out, I had to take a shower first.

Kim: "You're cooking in a robe and drinking wine, someday some man is going to fall madly in love with you."
Kelly: "Haha, I would hope so...why?!"
Kim: "You enjoy drinking, you enjoy cooking, you have great taste in music, and you parade around in a bathrobe.  These are very redeeming qualities"

Later...

Kim: "Did you really just eat chicken plain for dinner?"
Kelly: "Yeah, and it was delicious."
Kim: "You are such a carnivore.  That's ok, all I've eaten today was Chocolate."

Valentines Day

Feb. 13th:
Stephen: "I HAVE A VALENTINE'S DAY DATE TOMORROW!"
Kim: "Well, that's great."
Stephen:  "It's my car...."
Kim:  "That will make for quite the awkward dinner conversation..."

Feb. 14th:
Kim: "Good god, I'm going to eat all of these chocolates."
Kelly: "Me too, they're going to kill me..."
Kim: "You know what happens tomorrow, right?"
Kelly: "They all go on SALE."
Kim: "You know what we're doing first thing tomorrow, right?"
Kelly: "BUYING ALL THE CHOCOLATES!?!?!?"
Kim: "Hell yes."

The Vegan Challenge

Kim and I decided on a whim that we were going to try veganism for one week, just to see a. if we can do it and b. how it makes us feel.

Day 1:
I introduced Kim to "The Oatmeal" and read her the comic on use of the word "literally" (found at http://theoatmeal.com/comics/literally).  After reading this, we are trying to decide what to eat for lunch, our first real vegan-ish meal requirement, when Kim bursts out "WE ARE LITERALLY GOING TO STARVE TO DEATH ON THIS DIET!"

Superbowl Sunday

"Kelly, I'm so happy you're a beer snob...It makes my life easier, and so much better"

Today is Superbowl day, and also the end of Week 5 of a 10 week term.  Homework will be done during the game, unfortunately - sometimes college sucks.

Kim and I decided, however, that a Superbowl Spread of food is necessary, and my simple football food of choice is Tostito's Salsa con Queso, preferably heated in that wonderful invention called the microwave.  Kim's response to this request: "Gross.  No.  You should never eat cheese that comes out of a jar."

In the grocery store, the split was this: Kelly gets beer, Kim gets food.  As we're heading to the checkout line, I see my wonderful canned cheese goodness, and grab a jar.  Kim's response: "Don't worry, Kel.  I already got you some."
