mmmmmmmmm..........Cinnamon Rolls

I LOVE homemade cinnamon rolls. Ever since my trip to Australia I have craved cinnamon rolls every day. On the trip I purchased them a couple of times. Since I've been home my mom has made them for me twice because she is such a great mom.(I ask her to make them for me like every other day.) Then yesterday my cute sister surprised me at work and brought me two containers full of them. They were absolutely delicious. I must confess that in 24 hours I had more cinnamon rolls than a person should probably have in a lifetime, maybe not a lifetime, but I ate about 95% of them and Mat only had 5%. If I had more to eat I would. The ones my sister just made were soft, big and fluffy, and the frosting had a great cream cheese flavor. Thanks Kami and mom you guys are the greatest!

The Roarin' Random Relays at work...

At work I am on the Events Committee and we plan activities about once every other month. Last Friday we planned a relay race activity outside. It turned out to be a success. People at first were a little skeptical, but by the time they finished they were all smiles.The weather was chilly in the morning, but by the afternoon it was not too bad. (I actually got some color on my face.) Yes whip cream was involved.

The first part of the relay was spining 5 times around a baseball bat and then "running" to the next person to do the next relay. I had to help out with some of the teams because there was not enough people. So this is me before I spun around the baseball bat.


This is me trying to walk after spinning around the bat.


The second relay involved sucking up M&M's through a straw from one bowl and placing them in a bowl about 10 feet away without dropping it. (You had to do it 3 times.)


Here are some co-workers trying to keep their M&M's on the end of the straws to place in the other jar.


This is the bean bag toss portion of the relay. I enjoyed this event the best because it was what I was best at. (You only had to make one bean bag into the hole in the top of the box.)



The final portion of the relay was to eat a pie tin full of whip cream with only your mouth to see what word was on the bottom. We (the Events Committee) put random words on the bottom like pineapple, sunshine, summer sun, banana, etc...


Here are two members of the Events Committee trying to look tough in their garabage bag outfits before the whip cream eating contest.

Do you think I should keep growing it out?

Work, whats that?

We got an offer.

Well, late Monday night we got an offer on our condo. We accepted the offer and we will be moving. We don't close until June 30th. We are excited, but we are also sad to be leaving. We have lived in our condo for 5 years now. Time has flown by. We have many good memories and great friends, but look forward to a new place with new memories and more friends.
