A Lazy Week

Hey y'all, here's what happened this week. :)

First, food, as I had so much deliciousness last weekend being HOME for Fall Break:

 I went to Wingers with Erika

 My mom got the chips and salsa AND the french fries (due to an overeager, but forgetful waiter, it was quite excellent, actually).

 I had some TASTY fajitas.

The aforementioned waiter hooked us up with some popcorn to go. It was delicious

Erika can attest to that fact.

After Wingers, we went back to my house and watched The Muppet Movie. It was quite wonderful, what with the third greatest gift being dolled out by the armful (laughter; after children and ice cream).

On Thursday I cooked plain chicken for the first time at college. It was quite tasty. This might have to become a more common occurrence...if I can motivate myself to go to the effort.

It made an excellent sandwich. Mmmmm...chicken sandwich [drools]

Another thing that happened over the weekend was Fishpond. Yes, that's right, I got to have it twice this year. There was delicious food there, but somehow, I neglected to photograph any of it. In fact, the only picture I seem to have (there are others in other--unavailable places to me) is this one:

Which...kind of summed up the evening for me. While I did find some time to hang out with the rest of my family, most of my evening was devoted to following these guys (and another small child) around. We found and pet the cat. The little girl (Presley) talked quite enthusiastically about her for quite a while (as well as about my stars in my room and other topics I didn't quite catch). The little boy (Bridger) along with his cousin (Lincoln) were also quite entertaining to play with. (They're the children of my cousins). Also making an appearance that evening was my nephew Edj. I somehow failed to photograph him as well, but I promise, he was there. 

Anyway...on with the rest of the week.

Here are some snapchats:

 Me

And the cat. 

That's really all you need to see.

A few other random highlights of the week:

Saw this on Pinterest. Quite hilarious, if I say so myself.

Erika and I play a lot of electronic "With Friends" games. I'd have to say my favorite at the moment is Dice With Friends. Here is a game where I demolished her. I'd have to say I'm quite proud of my luck.

On Wednesday in University 1040 (I still have no idea what the purpose of that class is), we had a substitute: Professor Nickerson. While waiting for him to arrive, we decided to take a different approach on class that day (as he is quite different, some might say crazy). Here are some pics from four (okay, five) different angles:

 That was Nickerson's doings

 We had to thing of words to write

Lots of words

There's the man himself

And that's what we did before class. 

Here's the end result of the 50 minutes

Erika drew some lovely pictures on Thursday. She was even kind enough to include "reaction" shots.

And I worked on a very useful skill: learning to sign my name upside down. I'm sure someday that ability will come in handy.

So, before I leave you with some more Calculus professor quotations, I'd like to say one more thing:

In the words of Dr. Armstrong:

"I was playing for the nerdiest laugh ever, how did I do?"

"It's just a little problem with the most important theorem of all time."

"Today is the 15th...wait, is Halloween tomorrow?"

"This is other homework: what's the opposite of not?"

"You really have to convince yourself that you cannot do this integral, before you do this integral."

"And that's what I tell my kids; as soon as it gets hard, I just stop."

"If I cut my arm off...that'd be awesome."

"Isn't this already interesting? I mean, this is hella cool."

"There were two of us, and half the class was asleep at any given time."

"This is...something."

"If that confuses you, you might want to remind yourself of the definition of 'triple,' it's a thing."

Pictures and Siri and Family Oh My

Okay, so I'm having a bit of a brain meltdown on how to arrange this post. So...I guess I'll just go for it. Here's what happened this week:
First, a random assortment of pictures.

 Bekah's a bunny

 I'm a bull

 Cucumber Orca ;)

 Horse Hair

 Gonzo squash! :D

 Orca's a wizard

Vinnie is a gentleman, with a moustache.

Here's some tasty food:

 On Tuesday we fed the missionaries.

We made a lot of breakfast food: pancakes, bacon, sausage, eggs, hash browns, juice. :)

Erika tried to grate a baked potato...it turned out interesting-ly 

 

On Tuesday we made fajitas

Mine were beautiful

 On Thursday we had Oreos

in shake form....mmmmm....{drools}

We eat popcorn

A lot of popcorn, especially Erika

Here are some pretty pictures I drew:

 Beef

 Clouds...and a muffin man

 Hogwarts

 Erika and I want a rat when we grow up

 Seagulls poop

Spi-ay-der

Siri kind of scares us sometimes,

But sometimes it's good for a laugh,

I also have several friends who Snapchat quite wonderfully:

 Heather

 Erika

Rachel

Here are some fun ones:

And the best one:

Another thing that happened this week is that my family came down to visit during their fall break. They made us dinner and the aforementioned shakes on Thursday, as well as buying me a LOAD of groceries. My mom put on our Halloween tradition of fishpond. We all got "fish" which were wonderful objects/treats. Basically, presents for Halloween. Then, on Friday, my mom helped me do my laundry...lots of money. She also helped me clean the bathroom, that was quite exciting. We went to see the production of The Marvelous Wonderettes at the Shakespeare Festival. We also went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant called Brody's. Saturday we went golfing and then got some pretty tasty frozen yogurt from a place called Krave. It was a good weekend. :D
Thursday:

 Fishing, 

 Fishing,

Fishing.

 Erika got cookbooks

 Jessica got Nutella

We all got popcorn (even if you can't see it)

I got awesome dry erase crayons :)

Dad made the delicious Oreo shakes

 There were smiles all around

 Katelyn...was there ;)

Mom liked to talk. She certainly enjoyed herself.

It was a good night (the sign says "loon")

Friday:

 Loads (literally) of laundry

Wonderful productions

Saturday: 

 Golf carts! :D

 Father. Score: 60

 Katelyn. Score: 77

 Me. Score: 91 

There were about 8 gajillion potguts on the course. We named a lot of them: Stan, Jeremy, Chuck, Chet, Fred, Pete.

This is Chet.

 Dad's yogurt

 Katelyn's yogurt

 My yogurt

 Mom's yogurt

Mmmm...yogurt.

I'd like to end with some more wonderful quotes from Calculus quotes from this guy:

Dr. Armstrong (who I might get to take another class from next semester!)

• "Don't say Lagr"ay"nge, you'll sound like a hick. Say Lagr"ah"nge, you'll sound like a wannabe Frenchman."
• "Unless you have very skinny cows, you're not going to set x=0."
• "Let's have a 'bring a buddy' day on Friday...unless you're a math major and you don't have a buddy."
• "I'll be going to a football game all day Saturday, and Sunday doesn't exist."
• "Unless I die, which...I hope I get better if I do."
• "And, just so I can say it, sextuple integrals..."
• "I hope you're not discussing another subject in my class, because that would be dangerous for you."
• "I'm not going to have you recreate this on a test, because I don't want to have to grade it. That would be the last thing I'd want to do...well, hanging upside down from my toenails would be, but this is next.
• "I care about these stars especially."
• "Just because it's called the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, doesn't mean it's important."
• "I'm going to abbreviate it like this: Fun. Theorem of Calculus."
• That's a great question. It's like I gave you $5 before class to ask that question at this exact time."
