June 7, 2011: Brian is in Germany for business and he took the camera so I haven't been able to take pictures but I decided I can still portray my life by borrowing other people's pictures. I've been exhausted and lonely this week so tonight I was browsing through my netflix instant options and saw the first season of MacGyver. I decided that was sufficiently comforting so I picked it to watch.

Despite the fact that the pilot episode aired in 1985, I still love that show. My favorite part of the pilot episode is that he's wearing the blue & green plaid shirt (as shown above) as he goes into an underground secret lab to save some people who were trapped in an explosion. He ends up ripping his plaid shirt to cover his face and his episodal love interest's face (that he just met moments before) in order to combat the poisonous gas they were about to run through. Then, at the end of the episode, he's playing basketball with his 'big brother' kid and he's wearing the exact same shirt. I don't know why, but that warms my heart.

Here's how much I loved MacGyver growing up: in gym class when we had to do pull-ups for the Presidential Fitness Test, I used to picture MacGyver at the top of the bar to try and motivate my muscles to pull me up there. I also found a cassette tape that I recorded of myself singing, "MacGyverrrrrr, I loveeee youuuuuuu. I wish you were my mommyyyyyyy". Please don't over psycho-analyze that... I was like 6 yrs old and that was the best way I could come up with to express my love for him. Anywho, I love MacGyver.

Jaime needs the swim of her life 2. Jaime needs to grow up and stop making those horrible faces 3. Jaime needs someone to talk to 4. Jaime needs a witness who saw the large UFO over Mexico City 5.

February 15, 2011: In the days of yore, my besties and I declared February 15th "Friend Day" so we could look forward to a back-up to Valentine's Day. Really, it came about when we were hanging out in my parent's basement on February 15th watching "Terminator 2" and I handed out some Christmas presents I had forgotten to give to some other acquaintances. Presents = a holiday and thus, "Friend Day" was born. The three of us don't often see each other any more (because Elissa had to go and move to Boston- ahem) so I don't have any recent pictures of the 3 of us together. Nevertheless, Happy Friend Day, Amy & Elissa!

Weekend Bliss

I love it when you stumble across a great weekend, especially when you weren't planning for anything in particular. Brian woke me with a kiss on Saturday and whispered, "If we're going hiking, we should leave soon." I jumped out of bed and got ready while Brian cooked some eggs and then we headed west to hike up to Crater Lake. Here's what I look for in an optimal hike: your path should lead you up and the word 'alpine' should be involved. We indeed went up and were pleasantly greeted with great alpine meadows and lakes. This picture reminds me of the bigfoot sighting pictures. After our hike, we had dinner with my parents who stopped by to pick up their dog, Eefee, after their road trip to Pennsylvania. After they left, Brian suggested we go get some flowers for the flower beds in our front window. We were smarter this time and paid attention to the fact that our big tree blocks most sunlight and got plants that don't need full su...
