10 for Tuesday

1) We had a little snow storm of 2 inches this past week, but it didn't stay long.

2)Gary and I went to a Dr. Horrible party on Friday that was hosted by our good friend Jerry. Everyone had to dress so Gary decided to go as Professor Normal and I went as Fury Leika which are part of the Evil league of evil. If you have no idea what i'm talking about here is a synosis of what it is all about. Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog is a 43-minute tragicomic musical in three acts, each released separately. It tells the story of Dr. Horrible, an aspiring supervillain, Captain Hammer, his nemesis, and Penny, their mutual love interest. If you are interested in watching it you can watch it here. This is only part 1.

3) Gary and I found a really nice international grocery store close to our house so we decided to check it out. We were happy to find that a lot of their fruits and vegetables were really cheap and really everything in the store was a good price so Gary and I pick up a couple of items there and decided to make a home cooked meal together. For Christmas my sister Lara made me this beautiful apron and my husband also gave me a George the Dragon (from his comic) apron as well so I wanted to use them so I had Gary put on the one he gave me and I put on the one that my sister gave me. Here is a picture of us wearing the aprons and cooking together.

You can't read Gary's apron, but it says "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the Kitchen...

(Also, avoid any dragons)"

We made a spanish dish called Pipian which is a traditional mexican dish.

4) Our Guinea pigs have been living in a temporary house ever since we have moved into our house and we had a little bit of trouble trying to find the same material we have been using, but Gary found a place where they sell sign board so a couple of weeks ago he bought a couple of sheets so he could make a new one. They have been living in a small box this whole time so Gary made a huge cage for them. I think its to big, but it will be nice for the pigs to have some more room. Here is a picture of the new cage.

5) Monday night we went to Ikea and purchased two new bookcases. We only had a bookcase and a half so lots of our books were on the floor and a mess. We have been wanting to get new bookcases for awhile so we broke down and got some. The boxes were really long and heavy so it was a little challenging to get them down the stairs, but we managed alright. We just had to slide them down the stairs, because there was no place to hold on to the box.

6) Gary had a fundraiser at work the next day so he had to go to the store afterwards and get a couple of ingredients to make some curry. He did a crockpot recipe so it didn't take to long to put everything together. We woke up to that wonderful curry smell which made me very hungry. :)

7) Yesterday, when we got home from work we recieved a phone call from the missionaries saying that they had us scheduled for dinner which we were not prepared for at all. Gary called them and said that we were not prepared, but that we could order a pizza for them. We actually got a flyer in the mail for a new pizza place in New Carrollton that Gary was thinking about trying so he ordered a couple of pizzas from them. They had free delivery which was awesome and the pizza was actually really good. The missionaries came and we all had a nice time.

8) After the missionaries left and Gary was busy putting bookcases together my visiting teacher came over. After she left I helped Gary move the bookcases around to the way we wanted them and then put the books away. By the end it was pretty late and we were exhausted.

We will eventually put a nice comfy chair there, but for now we have our patio set there.

9) I had a couple of Institute reports due which I always have a hard time getting in on time, but this time I got them all done on time and I didn't have to make any changes which made me very happy.

10) Can't think of anything else that we did so I guess i'll stop typing...
