I Almost Killed My Best Friend and Lived to Tell the Tale!!!!! Oh and Then I Saw a Movie.

So you all know The Rusty. I talk about him all the time.

Just a refresher:

I love the kid.

He's like my brother, one of my best friends ever.

And tonight I was almost the death of him.

Fact: Rusty is DEATHLY allergic to ALL peanuts in ANY, WAY, SHAPE, or FORM.

Like, one bite and he could like drop dead!!!!

So tonight The Jessica's and I made a Dairy Queen run for 4 blizzards.

Reeses for Jessica #1, Reeses for Jessica #2, Cookie Dough for Rusty and Butterfinger for Parker.

Well I'm getting in the car trying to figure out which one is which and thinking I have it right, give each Jessica what I THOUGHT was a Reeses Blizzard.

Then we get back to Kairleigh's and I go inside and give what I THINK is the Cookie Dough and Butterfinger to Parker and Rusty.

Then I go back out to the car, and the Jessica's proceed to tell me that they are currently eating a BUTTERFINGER and COOKIE DOUGH Blizzards.

OH.MY.GOODNESS.

My. Heart. Stopped.

I fumbled to get the car door open but couldn't find the handle, finally I RUN PELL MELL through the yard and into the house, the minute I'm inside I'm screaming:

"RUSTY DON'T EAT IT"

As I get into the room they were in I'm still screaming and freaking out and he goes

"I didn't eat it. We smelt it."

THANK.GOODNESS.

I walked out of the room thinking:

"WHAT IF HE HAD EATEN IT!?!?!?"

And just the thought was too much for me.

I started BALLING my eyes out!!!!

I don't think I'd ever been so relieved or felt so stupid in my entire life!

Of course, Rusty heard me crying and came out to make sure I was okay.

HE was making sure that I was okay!

HE WAS THE ONE WHO COULD HAVE DIED!!!!

AND HERE HE WAS COMFORTING ME!!!!

Just holding me and letting me cry, reassuring me that he was perfectly fine, it wasn't my fault.

Etc. Etc. Etc.

Okay, call me a drama queen, tell me I'm crazy.

Actually don't.

I don't wanna hear it.

Maybe I'm prone to overreact to these kinds of things but you have NO IDEA how scary that was.

*sighs at the recollection*

Lesson Learned:

ASK FOR DQ TO TELL YOU WHICH BLIZZARD IS WHICH!!!!!!!!!

After that dramatic episode....it was time for some Silver Screen Drama!!!!!

I read this book two summers ago and

FELL.IN.LOVE.

When I saw they were making it into a movie I was so happy I almost fainted!

So needless to say, when Sister Emily called me up tonight to go see it I HAD to say yes.

So here's the deal, I know most of you are going to see this and I don't want to ruin anything for you so just let me say this:

They changed ALOT of things!!!!

And I'm not sure how I feel about it all!

Somethings I thought they got spot on.

Others they changed to the point of me wanting to yell:

"WHAT THE HECK???????????????"

But some of the liberties they took, I thought, really helped the story and made it a great movie.

So yeah I guess this is kind of a lame review.

But I'm way interested in hearing what you all have to say about it.

We must discuss!!!

Have a Fabulous weekend!!!!!

3 is a Magic Number

3 Weekends

3 Boys

3 Amazing Dates

Starting with last weekend:

My friend Kair won a raffle at a stake activity and the prize was a group date for you and four other couples to go watch a movie of your choice on this HUGE screen!!! Well Kair, being awesome invited me and I invited Shirt Boy and we watched Up!! Yes I cried twice!! It was soo cute!!

(The movie, not my crying.) Afterwards we all went to a park and everyone decided to play frisbee. But frisbee's not really my thing...so Shirt Boy and I played on the playground and eventually ended up in a tree. Yes, it was kind of like this: Except we weren't that close to each other!
We each had our own branch!
Anyways, date #1 was quite a sucess!
After the talk that Shirt Boy had,
I came home wanting to be better.
And if that's not a succesful worthwhile date,
then I don't know what is.

Date #2 was last night with my buddy Jacob!
First we had homeade pizza at Sammy's house, DELCIOUS!!
Then we got hot chocolate from QT and went to the Temple Lights and looked around and ate Krispy Kremes.

Afterwards we went back to Sammy's and played

Baby If You Love Me Smile.

Love that game!

Then, to really get us in the Christmas spirit, we watched Miracle on 34th Street.

Best. Christmas. Movie. Ever.

(Jessica if you say one more ill word against it, I will drop kick you from here to China.)

Classic Natalie and Jacob moment.

Date #3 is a week from today.

Winter Formal!!!

After hours and hours of searching, I have a dress and everything to go with it and I'm not going to lie,

the whole ensemble is

FABULOUS!!!!

So fabulous that you're going to have to wait to see it!!

Everyone have a smashing week!!!

Alyssa Mckay

A Question, an Answer, and a...Cake to the Face????

Well, 62% of you were correct:

I asked Tyler to Winter Formal!

I needed a fun way to ask him so Abigail and Avery graciously agreed to help out their Aunt Nat!!!

They sang Jingle Bells and gave him a cake with

Winter Formal???

written on it.

Baked into the cake were the letters of my name.

My handy-cake decorating skills!

This is what happens when obnoxious boys are around!

What a good sport!!!
Thanks Mary for the pictures!!!
I was so sad I had to wait in the car!!!

Well, the story doesn't end there.
A week later, I'm at the church for mutual and a girl from my stake walks in saying
"Natalie, this is for you"
And hands me a container full of ice cream and a paper that says
"I'd love to be the ice cream with your cake, but first you need to thaw me out."
So I put it under hot water and dug through the ice cream till I found a ziploc bag with a paper inside that was blank except for "fire" in little letters.
So I took it home, burnt it and the letters
"Y-E-S"
showed up!!!
(He used lemon juice.)
Happy Day!!!

What else is happy???
I'm going to see New Moon in one hour!!!!
Have a great weekend!!!!

Casa Sweet Casa

Yes yes I'm back.

Refueled and replenished!

California = Just what Ratalie needed!!!!

We stayed in a house RIGHT on the beach.

Like seriously you step out of the back door and you're walking on sand.

This castle was there when we first got to the beach.

Bless the children who built it, it gave me a great picture!

Annie looks like a Gazelle.

I love it!

I swear, the guy should be in GQ.
My fat feet.
I love sand!!

Yes we were freezing!!!!!!

I have so many more pictures, but unfortunately I think I may've left my USB cord in Cali and I'm extremely disgruntled, so we'll just have to wait and see I guess....

In other news, tonight was fabulous!

Jess and I went to a quincenara (SO FUN, I wish I was hispanic!)

Then we picked up Rusty and went to Dairy Queen.

Then I had to pee so we went to QT and I got a Mt. Dew.

Then we went and laid on Jessica's trampoline until Ciara

(who we haven't seen in forever)

called so we went and saw her and it was simply peachy!!!!!!

I love my life!

Either He's Bad Luck, or I'm Just An Accident Waiting to Happen

Remember this post??

Well if not, quick recap:

I went on a date with Tyler at the beginning of the summer and came home with an internal bruise on my neck.

Well last night, I went on another date with Tyler and came home with a bump on the back of my head.

Maybe Emily's right and I do need a helmet!!!

We were having an Ultimate Chicken Fight in my pool and I was on Ty's shoulders.

It was between us and one other couple, they backed us into the steps and pushed.

I hit my head HARD on the step.

So now I have a fun little bump that makes it so I have to sleep sideways.

Awesome.

Despite that, the date was SO SO FUN!!!!

We started out with a race at Frys to see who could get dinner for under $10, then we went to a park to eat. Since we weren't allowed to cook or heat anything up,Ty and I bought a HUGE sandwich that was seriously bigger than my head.

So we were at the park eating on a blanket when it starts POURING rain!!! Everyone started rushing to the ramada, but I wanted nothing more than to just sit there and enjoy it.

But Ty insisted that we save the food.

So we did, then we frolicked.

No joke.

We walked, skipped and ran around the park, doing cartwheels and acting like children while everyone else laughed at us.

NOBODY appreciates rain like I do.

Our frolicking was put to an aprupt end when the water balloon fight started.

Yes, a water balloon fight in the rain.

Pointess.

But amazing!!!

After the fight we found the remains of our mammoth sandwich all around the park.

Dang wind!!

But thankfully, the Ben and Jerry's was safe!!!

Then a muddy game of Sushi Tag began ending with us all covered in wet grass from head to toe.

The night ended with a Taco Bell run and two hours of swimming in our clothes.

Nights like that, make being a teenager bearable!!!!

High School Horrors: Part Two

So this next horror could happen anywhere but I'm just gonna call it a

High School Horror.

Anyone who knows me knows that I have this problem:

I CAN'T EAT WITHOUT SPILLING ON MYSELF

Well I made a discovery, the problem intensifies when I am around a male speicmen!!!!

Exhibit A:

The other day I was at Taco Bell for lunch sitting next to Rusty.

I was squirting my mild hot sauce onto my soft taco and....

SPLAT!!!!

Sauce on my new shirt.

LAME

Okay, ten minutes later.

I'm eating my soft taco and a piece a beef slips and falls

BETWEEN MY TWO SHIRTS!

So I'm sitting there waiting for everyone to stop looking at me so I can nonchalantly pull it out....

AWKWARD!!!

Exhibit B:

Today at school I'm sitting next to Tyler eating breakfast and drinking apple juice and...

DRIBBLE DRIBBLE DRIBBLE

APPLE JUICE ALL OVER MY SCRUBS!!!!!!

I had spots for the rest of the day.

I swear, I have problems.

There Are Some Things Money Can't Buy

Candy and drinks at QT:

$4 Dinner and a snickers at Steve's:

$6

Ice Cream from DQ:

$12

A Night With Three of My Favorite Girls:

Priceless

Realizations

Realization Number One:

I think it was Lindsey Layton, who once said that everybody needs to get the experience of going to the movies alone. Having a magnitude of respect for her I decided to do as she advised. So I went and saw Harry today. All alone. And although I was really disappointed by the movie,the experience was a sucess!

I LIKE seeing movies by myself!

Realization Number Two:

Gossiping is like Chocolate.

Iressistible

and

Positively Sinful.

You Know the Drill

For all you DEPRIVED souls, a Pizookie is a chocolate chip cookie with ice cream on top.

You take the cookie right out of the oven when its still a little gooey and throw on some vanilla ice cream and Wallah!

Dessert Happiness!!!!!

Friends, it is that time again.

Other bloggers have come to call them

"Comment Giveaways"

I suppose that'll suffice.

So hup too, you know the drill.

Comment on this post, and if you'd like, ask a question, ANY QUESTION, and in a couple days...

You'll be glad you did!
