March 19--- I Love You, Man?

Hunter & mom leave for Nashville tomorrow morning. Since the legal age in TN for seeing rated R movies is 18, Hunter wanted to see I Love You, Man here before he leaves. Since it doesn't come out until tomorrow, tonight's midnight showing was Hunter's only option. I was, of course, more than willing to go with him since my man crush, Andy Samberg is in it. Unfortunately, our plans changed at the last minute and we couldn't end up seeing it.

But here's a little Andy, for your viewing pleasure....

March 18---Bring Your Brother to Work Day

Hunter got to see all his friends today while he joined me at work at MHS. He then drove me to Northridge, dropped me off, and borrowed my car for the next day.
weird.

March 17---A Little Look @ Our Day

[mom & nana came to meet manal and see the dorm]

[landon made auntie read him a book "right de-ar" on the floor]

[austen had crazy after shower hair]

[most all of the grandkids together. minus hunter's wisdom teeth]

March 16---OUCH

Hunter got his wisdom teeth out today. I haven't seen him yet since the surgery but he made it sound like it couldn't have gone any smoother (jerk...).
P.S. he's looking wayyyy too old these days isn't he?

March 15---Meeting Momma Roomie

Hunter & I joined Manal & her mom for Coffee Bean tonight.
Manal said Hunter is my twin.
I said Manal is her mother's daughter.
Genetics boggle my mind.

March 14---Boys Will Be Boys

Babysat Sam & Hope while their mom went to a wedding [with my mom].
Hope went out with friends.
Sam [& friend] played video games.
the entire night.

March 13---San Luis & Other Things

Mom & Hunter came to town & today we took a roadtrip with Auntie to San Luis Obisbo to do a little college searchin' for Hunter at SLO.

The school was pretty amazing. Our tour guide, however, was a major let down.
-------------------------------------------------
Later in our evening, Logan had a concert performance at Lake Ave.
Austen lost her front tooth.
Landon couldn't sit still.
Logan sang great.
Mom fell asleep.

March 12---Visiting the Watchmaker

Manal works at a clock shop right by our school so I decided it was time that I drop in to say hello & bug her for a little while.
It was a coincidence that I had on my [reallllllllly dirty] watch and so she gave me a lesson in watch cleaning.

March 11---Sprucing the Place Up.

The dull apartment needed lights.
in march.

March 10---Dabbling.

I dabbled in soy candle making today.
100% eco-friendly.
smells yummy like vanilla.
&
aqua colored.

March 9---Oops List....

1. Meg accidentally drops trash down stairwell
2. Manal hits head on corner of table
3. Meg freaks out while jay-walking
4. Manal loses keys....twice
5. Meg goes to class an hour early.
6. Manal uses body wash as lotion (my favorite)


These are a few of the things that make up Manal & my "oops list".
why? because we're dumb....a lot.

March 8---One For Me, One For You

TOMS Shoes.

I treated myself and a little boy/girl in Africa or Argentina to new shoes today.
You should too.

1 purchase = a pair for you and a pair for them.

March 7--- My First Experience with Swaddling

I started babysitting 5 mo. old twins today---Chase & Chance (twins names, huh?)

They were super cute (especially since they mostly just ate and slept).

March 6---Abigail Show #26964305

Matt & I supported his besties at their band's show tonight.

Their guitarist couldn't make it so they had a fill in who I just so happen to graduate elementary & junior high with--Justin Fuji.

It was a fun show---& it didn't hurt that the venue had never
ending free cups of [delicious] coffee/hot chocolate [with whip cream]

March 5---TV in bed

cozy in bed.
about to watch [new episode] of greys anatomy.
& update the blog [finally].
stupid rerun [of course].
went to bed.
sorry. no blogging.

March 4---Ben & His Girlfriend, Maddy

Ben brought his "girlfriend", Maddy, home from school to play with us today. He told me he likes her because she doesn't like girl stuff. Of course they spent their play date dressing up as football players, playing cars and trucks, and launching pretend rockets in the backyard.

Oh to be 5 and in love....

(my heart was set on Matt Quintero at this age)

March 3--Wash Your Dishes in a Timely Fashion....

with 4 roommates, this rarely happens.

I wish we had a dishwasher.

March 2---My Most Favorite.

I was looking through old photos on my computer today & found one of my most favorite photos of all time.
Bet you can't guess who the kiddo on the right is...
ok, it's pretty obvious, not to mention his name is written at the bottom.

(this was originally a b/w photo but with the help of Photoshop, I colored the tractor a few years ago--and for those of you haven't figured out who the kid is: thats my dad!)

March 1---A Lesson in Adobe Illustrator

Today, Matt learned a new technique on his favorite design program: Illustrator and gave me a lesson in how to create super cool art much like these:

(The idea for this derived from Matt's "pet name" for me: Meg-Han)

February 28---My Day Today

EQUALS

February 27---I've Made It To the Fridge

When Austen & Landon get an "E" on their school work, they get to display it on the fridge for all to see. Today, I was thrilled to join in on the achievement showcasing when I opened my mail and found a certificate congratulating me on making the dean's list!

February 26---HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROOMIE

(our version of birthday candles)

(streamers handmade with love)

(all you Office fans out there should appreciate this one)



HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MANAL!

February 25---Glass Jar Frames

I've been saving my glass jars for the past month in preparation for an ingenious art project to come to mind. Well today was the day that I decided to turn my empty peach, pickle and marinara sauce jars into picture frames! I think they add a little character to my movie shelf, don't you?

February 24---it was a day.

After my 12:30 history test, I came back to my apartment, crawled into bed and stayed that way all day.

February 23---Our (Failed) Quest for a New Lamp.

Manal & I took a trip to Goodwill looking for a lamp for her side of the room. We were unsuccessful in the lamp department, but I was excited to come home with a couple cute yellow teacups. My kitchenware now seems to have a yellow & green theme about it.
