Parkour

Kristi and friends doing Parkour in the gym last friday! Me and my crew today doing Parkour in Kirsten's classroom.

We love The Office at my work. So much that we often play jokes on each other that come directly from the show. Last Friday, Kristi(counselor) got a bunch of people to come and do Parkour(which is a sport in which people creatively get from point A to point B) in the gym because the opening scene from the show the previous night had the characters doing Parkour through the office. So funny. I will add the clip from the actual show below.

Today, during my prep period, I got some people together and we did the same thing to Kirsten. It was so funny and the highlight of the day. I thought it was so very funny that Kirsten asks what is happening and then totally joins in with us. It is funny. I hope you get a kick out of it as much as I did! We are pretty much hilarious. Also, notice how the kids have no idea what we are doing and think we are crazy!

So Here I am, Once Again....

Yes, Morgan: Torn into Pieces.

To everybody else. That was a Kelly Clarkson song. It just came to mind. I have not done a Stream of Consciousness post in a long time so here be it. (I know my sister loves when I post like this). So, I guess this could be dedicated to her even if it is not her birthday or anniversary or something. Like you know...Haloween. How the heck to you spell Halloween? I think I spelled it right the second time. No need for spell check here. I actually read a students' work earlier this week and it was in Stream of Consciousness. Do you really capitalize that?

Living the dream. That is what I do. I went frisbee golfing today. My course here in Provo is quite beautiful. Kristi from work went with me. It has been a while since it was just me and her and it was nice to catch up. It is all a blur right now. It really went fast. I sure do like Kristi. It is sad that Blogger doesn't like the way she spells her name. I think somebody should complain. I don't want to though because it would be a lot of work. I think that makes me a not so good friend because I should be standing up for Kristi and her name.

Tuna. That is what my kitchen smells like tonight(I just spelled spells instead of smells. You can read it either way! I think my kitchen would spell like tuna(not very well) too!) I like to use parentheses but I do not like to spell parentheses. I ate a tuna sandwhich for dinner. Don't you judge. I was lazy and tired and lazy and had to try to prove that playing the bass on Guitar Hero at hard was way easier than playing guitar at medium. It was hard to prove but don't tell anybody, that is private information that is going to stay between me and me for a very long time. Some girl I know thought it wasn't easier. Silly girl.

I am tired. I am going to bed. I am not creative. Or am I? Fresca is yummy. Fresca Black-Cherry is even yummier. Yummier is not a word is it? But does more yummy sound any better? I think not. I watched 90210 tonight and totally admit it.

Did you know that your weight in gold is a lot? Actually, I don't know but I hear that gold prices are good right now. So if you were made of gold I would suggest that you sell yourself. Ebay might be the best way but who knows. I have never sold something on Ebay. I have never sold myself either. That could be a little weird, but I do think I am worth a lot. I would pay at least 900 dollars for me. That is about how much I have to pay to even the score with the hospital. I am worth at least that much even if I don't like to pay that much because I like my money. I would rather use it to buy Playstation Games or a plane ticket somewhere. SIGH.

So, did you know that it is only 45 days until Kelly Clarkson plays in Las Vegas. I bet you were thinking about that. Or you weren't...either way I would win that bet. Too bad I like my money too much and wouldn't bet either way. But I would bet 900 dollars that my surgeon wouldn't be able to fix me and I would totally lose.

I like to send text messages to people in the same room as me. Nobody is in the room with me right now so I will not text them. I did send a text about four minutes ago, right before I started typing this. I bet you can't guess who it was to! But wait, as I have already stated, I do not like to gamble. But I bet you can't guess who it is unless you are her. Oh wait, I just upped your odds. Dang it; I am so bad at gambling!

If I were to move anywhere in the next year, where would it be? That is an honest question so don't be saying things like The North Pole or anything. Seriously, I think Santa has way too many workers already, although I did hear that the economy has made him lay off some of the elves. Don't worry they found work in Kansas. It is top secret though so be quiet about it. And no I cannot tell you that they are working in diamonds. Oh great, now they are going to have to get new identities thanks to witness protection. Wait....I wasn't supposed to tell you that.

Well, it is past the time of my entry to dreamland so I will leave you with one last thought......

Here is the Recipe

Jojo wanted the recipe for these cookies and I thought it would be nice for more of you to have it too. They will clog your arteries but they are mighty good! I also thought it would be cute to let you just read the whole email from my dad. He is cute! Here it is:

Ali,

Below is the recipe from grandma's cookbook. The recipe originally came from Aunt Mick in 1955, and they were called Sneakers.

1 cup soft shorteniing 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 eggs
Mix thoughly. Sift and stir in:
2 3/4 cups flour 2 teaspoons cream of tartar 1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Chill for a couple hours. Form cookies into balls about the size of walnuts.

Roll balls in a mixture of:
2 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in 400 degree oven untill slightly browned.

Mom said to tell you that cream of tartar is a spice, not a dairy product, and can be found in the spice isle. Let us know how they turn out.

Love Dad

Snickerdoodles!





Earlier this week, I got the recipe for what my Great Aunt Mickey called "Sneakers," from my dad. You and I would call them Snickerdoodles. They actually turned out fabulous. I had a little bit of a hard time trying to get the size right, but by the third cookie sheet, I had it down. Enjoy the pictures, while I enjoy the cookies! :)

Saturday IS a special day!

Hi all. I should have amazing pictures of the first Burger Friday of the school year to post but I did not bring my camera or even think to take pictures of the first ever Monthly Guitar Hero Party. Sad. I had about six people over after Red Robin to play and it really was a blast. We even got people who refused to sing at the beginning to eventually serenade us! :)

I really do have great friends, don't I?

Not much else to tell you today. I have been pretty much the laziest person on the planet today. I woke up late and then watched our flag football team (Independence High) get beat in overtime. I then came home and played Guitar Hero and watched some of my DVRed shows from the week. I am about to go and take a walk and then I am going to hit the grocery store. I figure I will go shopping while all the silly people are at the stadium watching the BYU football game. The city is crazy on game day! I may bake some cookies tonight. I was going to for the party last night but never got the motivation or time.

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend.
