My Rant

So I finally said something to the annoying guy who sits behind us at the football games. His name is Scott. Scott is extremely LOUD (loud, because he has to hear himself talk over his his radio as his listens to the play by play - super annoying!!!) and NEGATIVE (even when the Cougars are winning, he thinks they should score 100 points every game and shut out the other team) and RUDE. Scott thinks he knows everything there is to know about football. He even thinks he should be the head coach - he said so himself. During halftime on Saturday he started yelling at the band and telling them to go sit down and go to their side of the field. This kid that sits in front of us turned around and told him to be quiet and that he was being annoying. Scott thought he was joking and started laughing - but the kid was pretty upset and told him he was serious and that he should shut up. Scott then mumbles under his breath "I bet he played in the band in high school." To which I turned and said "Dude, have some respect. Please!" That shut him up for about 5 minutes. His little comment was uncalled for.

As I replay the situation over and over in my mind I keep thinking of different things I could have/should have said. I should have added a few expletives. It's been 3 years worth of annoying Scott at the games that finally brought me to saying something. I understand that people go to games to yell and have a good time. I get that - but this guy is just plain rude and negative. I've had to hold Nate back from saying things to him before - but this time it was me who said something. I just wish I would have thought to say more.

The good news is that BYU won! Now I have a happy husband and it will be another year before we have to see Scott again. Hopefully he will get his tickets somewhere else so we don't have to sit in front of him next year.

My Plug for the Library...

So can I say how much I love the Public Library System? First off, it's free. Second, they have self checkout stations where you just scan your card, put in your PIN and then scan your books. It's great for those days when I don't feel like making small talk with strangers - which is most of the time. And you can renew your books online. Oh and did I mention it's free?


Plus, I'm liking the fact that they have DVDs that you can check out for a week. I've found that our main source of entertainment - TV Series' on DVD - is costing us a fortune. I've been checking out Grey's Anatomy which I'm liking a lot but I'm so glad I didn't spend $40 a season to watch it just one time.

Although there are some books and movies that I'm extremely glad we've purchased (ie: The Twilight series - which I intend to re-read several times and pass them along to all of my family to read and The Office - I don't think that will ever get old) - it's nice to read a book or watch a movie once and not feel guilty that it is sitting on the shelf collecting dust.

If you don't have a library card - I highly suggest you get one!

Quilting

I made my first attempt at making a quilt. I thought I'd start off simple with a baby rag quilt. I think it turned out pretty decent if I might say so myself. Plus it is somewhat square! I was fortunate to get my Grandma Charlene's old sewing machine. It's older but it works great. My dad even got a nice case that I can keep it in, which is nice where we don't have a whole lot of space in our apartment to keep it out all of the time.

Super Nate!!

So I'm a little slow in getting this page up - but isn't my little "Super Nate" the cutest! OK so we don't have kids to post pictures of in their cute Halloween costumes. (You all have adorable kids by the way...) but Nate took so much time making his shirt that I had to post his picture. He did it all by himself too! I helped him buy the supplies - but he designed it himself. He improvised on the cape and pinned a dish towel to his back!

We had a pretty low key Halloween. We both worked and then we hit a couple of family Halloween parties. We went to Nate's cousin's party for a little while. They get pretty in to Halloween. They have a spook alley and have a costume contest. They recently adopted a little boy who they dressed as a pirate. I thought he had the best costume. Check out his pictures - super creative! My favorite is the little mustache they put on him.
