Harry Potter

I Love Harry Potter!!! 

I have been in love with these books for oh so long.  David and I have been listening to them again on book on tape for the last month.  I love it! We just finished "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and I can't wait to start "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"! 

I remember when I first saw the first book in stores. I just ideally walked by and w

as like what is this? Some crazy book about a wizard? (Little did I know how much I would love it) I bought it thinking I need a good read and why not!  The moment I opened the book I was in love.Ever since then I have been to every midnight selling of these books. 

Loving Harry Potter was also a requirement when finding someone to marry.  When I first saw that David had the collection in his apartment I was like yep he is the one! 

I also love the movies, not as much though as the books.  I will get dressed up in Hogwarts attire and attend the midnight showings. I have waited in line for a good seat for 4 hours or more (which I have done many times).  I only wish that they could be longer.

I love this magical world so much that I have now convinced David that when we build our home that we should build the Gryffindor commons room in our basement (well I didn't have to convince we more just agreed that we couldn't live without it)

I can't wait for "Half Blood Prince" to come out to theaters but when it does just know thats where I will be for the next few days!

Please do not let this happen!

Ok so you may have heard or you haven't, but HBO is planning on showing an episode of Big Love on Sunday March 15, 2009 that will show sacred temple ordinances of the LDS church. This is real. It is in the TVguide and can be found here, http://www.tvguidemagsales.com/WeeklyIssues/TVG030909.pdf, on page 48.  

Now there have been people saying this is not real and  it is a fake site. Its not.

There is a picture which I am choosing not to post because of what it contains but it can be found in the face book group http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=80399776872

It is a picture of someone actually holding the copy in question.

This is all I will post of the article in TVguide the picture has been removed.

Please complain to HBO and to the FCC to stop this from happening. 

It's not secret it is sacred and should not be shown on TV that will take away from its sacredness.

Please don't let this happen!!!

 

My frustration with Watchmen the movie

When I first saw the preview for Watchmen I was really excited. I was hoping for a PG-13 rating but knew that something would make it R. I was ok with that to a point. I can stand fighting and a little bit of swearing. If there was going to be nudity it would most likely be brief and nothing to traumatizing, plus that stuff doesn't really phase me. 

When it did get an R rating I wasn't surprised and thought I would see it when it came out on DVD or something like that so its easier to skip unwanted parts of the movie. 

Well I found out the there is a full frontal of a man during the entire movie. Not cool!!! I don't care if he is computer animated put some pants on him! or at least blur it out like you have been doing with the previews!

I really want to go see this movie it does look really good but your nude man has completely turned me away from it. 

Thanks alot

Killing time before class

Warning: Long Ramblings of Megan

I thought I would blog a little before going to class.

First let me start off with my last class that I just had. It was aerobics and today was 80's day. which meant that if you dressed up you get extra credit. But I of course am auditing the class so it doesn't matter but I can never pass up an opportunity to wear a cut up sweater and a side pony and dance like its 1986! It was so much fun! 80's music defiantly gets your heart pumping and makes you want to do the running man, sprinkler, the charlie brown and cowboy it up!

...........................................................................................................................................

On Tuesday was Mardi Gras. A holiday that goes often uncelebrated. I don't care if your Catholic or not it's a fun day!  David and I had a little get together at our house. We had Big Band music playing in the background and everyone got beads and masks. I also made a King Cake, the traditional Mardi Gras cake (Thanks PartyLand for the cake mix!), and some really good cupcakes. 

To me Mardi Gras is just a good excuse to have friends over hang out and play games. 

I have two goals with future Mardi Gras' though

1. I will make it to New Orleans 

2. I will through a huge masquerade ball 

My next holiday that will be a lot of fun is St. Patrick's Day. If you want to join me in the ritual of watching Boondocks Saints and eating corned beef and cabbage just let me know :)

....................................................................................................

Something else we did this last week was go to the Timpanogos (sp?)Temple.  I love this temple out of the ones I have been in (which only include St. George, Laie Hawaii and Jordan River) it is my favorite!

It was such a nice day.

I hope to soon add Oakland Temple to my list. I'll be going there in June for my friends wedding! (so excited for you Laurel!)

A goal I have for Temples is:

1. to visit all that are in UT

2. and to visit the temple in the area that we vacation if possible

So thats all I have time for right now. Check back later though when I add pictures to this when I get to my home computer!

Flash Back Valentines

Happy Valentines Day!

I have to do a flash back to last year...

  One year ago I met David! We had met in our ward and started talking and getting to know each other.  David decided he would ask me out on our first date. It happened to be on Valentines Day. I being a girl knew exactly what day it was.  We went and saw Emo Phillips at Wise Guys Comedy Club.  So I got all cute wore red and waited for David to come pick me up. I even made Valentines Day cupcakes.  We walked to the club got our seats and started to enjoy the show.  Well it wasn't until Emo came on stage and asked if everyone was enjoying their Valentines when David realized it was in fact Valentines Day. I think he got a little more nervous when he figured it out.

But as you can tell everything turned out great!!!

Now back to 2009!

We wanted to do something a little special seeing as this was the anniversary of our first date.  On the 13th we went out to dinner at the Melting Pot in Salt Lake (it was cheaper to go on the 13th instead of the 14th).  It was soooo good!!!!!

Then on Valentines Day we babysat Kaitlyn. We had a lot of fun! We made Valentines and hung them on the door.  After she left David and I had our nice romantic evening.  I made dinner which has been a tradition in my family forever! It was a heart shaped meatloaf with mashed potatoes around it to make "lace".  

We ate by candle light and had love songs playing in the back (Josh Gracian!) and I made Strawberry Short Cake for dessert.

We then exchanged Valentines. 

I gave David the game Killer Bunnies(best game ever!)

And David gave me Chocolate, a Teddy Bear, and Mama Mia.

We had a lot of fun celebrating 1 year of knowing each other!

Memories

Think fast! 

Leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! Leave a comment on here. Next, re-post this ad see how many people leave a memory about you. Thanks!

Com on its fun to think about all of the fun memories we've all had together!

Super Weekend

On Saturday David and I decide that we would throw a small Super Bowl party. I also wanted to make some homemade salsa. I made it Saturday night so that all the flavors could "blend together".  I used lots of tomatoes, 1 Onion, fresh Cilantro, 1 Lime, lots of Garlic, about 6-8 small Jalapenos, and 2 big red hot peppers. It was really really spicy but really really good.  

Yesterday I made another type of dip for potato chips. Basically it was death but it was really really good.

I mixed sour cream, cream cheese, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, a little ranch, and garlic and onion powder. It was so good but I'm glad everyone else ate it so I didn't feel to guilty for eating a little. lol.

We put on the game and our friends started to come over. No one really cared for the game but most of us were rooting for the Steelers, David rooted for the Cardinals just to be different. During the half time show we played Pictionary Man (It's really fun). 

Steelers won, yay!

After the game we played a game called Killer Bunnies and the Quest for the Magic Carrot. This is my new favorite game! Its a crazy fun card game. And we all watched the Office.

So it was a good day and its always fun to have friends over. ( Everyone is welcome anytime)
