I'm completely lacking on NuTang again ... sorry guys. For whatever reason, I'm just having a really hard time keeping up with it all.

This past week hasn't been too busy, but busy enough for it to make time feel like it was going by faster. Maybe because I've been away from the house for a decent amount of time during the last few days. Who knows.

Today my sister and I are going out to Sam Boyd Stadium to wander around Pet-a-palooza . One of my coworkers mentioned it and I think that it'll be fun. Plus it'll get us both out of the house for a while and we'll get to see all the pets that people bring. It'll be mostly dogs, but there might be a snake or an iguana there too.

Last night I attended my first baby shower {not my sister's; her's will be in a couple weeks.} It was pretty fun, actually. I didn't know anyone except the girl who it was being thrown for and her ex/friend, but everyone seemed open enough so it wasn't uncomfortable. There were a few games and prizes to go with. The first game was just a simple "guess how many are in the bottle" and the closest person got the bottle with the candy and a little bundt cake. I guessed way too high, but that's alright. The second game was that 4 chosen people had to drink a mixed drink concoction out of a baby bottle and the first one to finish got another little bundt cake. It was hilarious watching 4 grown men trying to drink from a bottle. Apparently sucking too hard on the nipple will make it collapse. Someone did actually finish and we found out that the liquid was a mixture of ruby pomegranate, orange juice, carrot juice and apple juice. No wonder none of them seemed like they were enjoying it lol.

The third game {and pretty much the final game, since the last one was just a raffle drawing} was quite interesting. There were 8 jars of baby food on the table, with the labels removed and each of them had a number. What we had to do was guess what the flavor was for each. We could look at the color, smell it and there were even toothpicks so that we could taste it. Do you even realize how much most baby food tastes the same? And that it's all gross? I was able to guess 5 of the 8. Once I found out what the ones I guessed wrong were, it was kinda obvious.

No one could guess number 8. We were told that it was a newer flavor, but not very many people tasted it after smelling it. It was just gross. Only one person was brave enough to stick in a toothpick ... but since he was the last one, we told him that no one else had gotten it. He was determined at this point to be the one to get it ... and he went to an extreme that none of us would go to. He actually took a fork and scooped out a good amount of the baby food. Then he actually savored the flavor just to see if he could get it. After a minute, he finally wrote down what his guess was and he was the only one to guess correctly. The flavor, was Mac & Cheese. Ew! It was the grossest flavor. Even the green beans and peas that were there didn't come close to the mac and cheese one. Ha, afterwards my sister said that she was never getting Zaidrien that flavor baby food.

So overall this past week has been pretty good. Jacob was sending me pictures last night from the Muse concert he was at. It would be amazing if I could go to the one tonight since they're here in town, but unfortunately I can't afford tickets. Oh well. Maybe one day I'll see them in concert.

Alrighty, I need to shower before I head out to Sam Boyd. Who knows when I'll be writing again. But until next time ...

Man if/when I have kids I am NOT buying them any baby food. Definitely just making it myself... I don't want them to eat anything I wouldn't.

Wow, I had no idea there was a Mac and Cheese flavor of baby food +_+. Eek..

It's delicious. D:

Nah but for real, if you Google it then you'll see. It's like... an ice cream cone, if the cone was made of crust and it was filled with cheese and sauce and amazingness instead of ice cream.

I know right? That woman was crazy. I guess she's spoiled or something, since New York has all these pizza places that have slices already made that are just sitting out, waiting for you to order them so they'll be heated up. I always wonder if that's really safe, although I guess they're cooking it, so it's okay...
