Casablanca

Last night, I went to see Casablanca the Arclight in Hollywood. It was a one night thing and I am sorry it was because I enjoyed it so much more on the big screen. I never realized how witty some of the lines are. There is nothing like having a live audience as well. The Arclight is my favorite theater. If you have never been, some of the best things about it are:
Old fashioned movie candy (Good and Plenty, Milk Duds, Junior Mints, Red Vines etc...)
Popcorn with real butter!
Caramel Corn!
Assigned Seating
No trailers
A beautiful cafe and gift shop in the lobby
Limited release movies

It is the most wonderful place! Here some pictures

S'more Cupcakes (warning picture heavy)

S'more cupcakes are a favorite among family and friends. Recently a coworker and fellow foodie ordered them from me for her daughter's pasta party. I delivered them today and am so happy about how they turned out.

Happy Birthday Brother!

My brother is 16 today. It is so weird!
Things I love the most about him
-How interested he is in Science and History
-How amazing he is at Cross Country
-That he can down 2 loaves of bread in two days (What????!!!)
-That he had two dates for his school's Homecoming (what a player!)
-Hearing him say things to people on XBox Live, what a card
-That on his birthday, though he has a mom and sister that could bake him anything he wants.... he wants boxed Betty Crocker yellow cake
-That he tries so many new things every day
I love you brother!

San Diego Convention Center

A couple weeks ago I found out I hadn't done so savy on the math portion of my nursing school entrance exam. Ok, seriously they give 50 minutes for 45 problems and no calculator. It's been quite a while since I did long hand division, percentages, and decimal multiplication. I realized I really do not miss the days in middle school when you are not allowed calculators. I don't know a lot of nurses that do long division at the patient's bedside either..... Anyway, the only place I could retake it was at San Diego State University. That place is huge! Joe was kind enough to drive me to the test. I really hate driving and it was so nice to be able to relax on the way there. Afterwards, we when for a walk around downtown San Diego, which is where I snapped this picture. We always go to comic con and I don't think I have ever seen such a people-less and litter-less sight there. It was a beautiful day, and made the yuckiness of retaking an exam more pleasant and less yucky.

If only....

I don't think I've been this sick in a while. My major accomplishment for today, is that I have kept solid food down. It's been four days.... Being the foodie that I am, this is killing me! Since most of my time has been occupied by sleeping, watching old sitcoms, and wasting time online, I thought I would share the reason for my recent illness....
If only I had had the nano wand, it's like a cross between a light saber and purell. That's right you can now fight infection before it get's you! Thank you SkyMall, for your wide array of useless items that entertain me every time I fly!

Oh my Mrs. O!

I really love Michelle Obama. No I mean really. I just bought a coat from Nordstroms because it was reminiscent of her lemongrass inauguration coat. Yeah I told you so, and this blog simply feeds the addiction a little too much! This picture of her is stunning. I want to blow this picture up and hang it somewhere!

It has been two months since my last blog.....

Feeling so defeated right now! I promise, if anyone is still reading this that the posts will be more regular from now on :)
