EGG-CITY

I was at Sam's Club today, getting ready to pull out

and I saw this guy pushing a cart full of eggs to his car

I said out loud (in my car)

HOLY CRAP THAT'S A LOT OF EGGS.

then i decided I needed to take a pic

but I had to do it sooooo discreetly so he didn't see me.

I think he did see me, but I tried to play it off.

Monday we went MTB (mountain biking)

and I had my first wreck. I am totally fine, but got scraped up.

Cameron, however endo'd and also hit his chest on his handlebars.

as i was trying to take a pic of his chest,

i was chasing him around the house

trying to take other pics of him.

this is with his new haircut (so cute isn't he?)

(but angry face b/c I was chasing him)

chest wound.
He was calling himself Harry Potter, and I said
"cam, that's on his head" and he said
"well then call me John Potter"
what?



my leg. but let me say, under the grease is a scratch.

mud, blood, and grease

my awesome beat up legs.

BOWLING ON EASTER.

I had to work Sunday, so I couldn't go to church.

But we had fellowship group that evening, and went

bowling. Although hardly anyone came:

me, cam, steve, LB, tim, and andy,

we still had a lot of fun!

cameron/slamcake

L to R: andy, tim, steve, LB, cameron

me. how lucky that an 11lb ball is green.

11 is my favorite number, and green is my fav color!

also, 11# is the perfect weight for me :)

me getting a strike (which i got like 5 that night!)

I don't know if you can tell but:

cam= 83

liz= 107

steve= 101

LB= hadn't finished

I totally beat TEAM COBRA! Even though they tried to play

it off that i kicked their butts!!!! WOO HOO!

The boys playing some retardo video game. They loved it.

Cam is sporting his "easter" shirt :)

PIG ROAST 3.15.08

our friends dad drove from SC with this in his truck.

It's not an above ground coffine thing, it's

a pig roaster. seriously.

the fire pit. it was a cool CO night

and this was perfect!

me & cam bundled up :)

Afterwards I did what I do at every party:

walked around and got peoples glass bottles/cans

to take home to recycle... i know i know,

i am a dork,

but a dork that wants to save the planet.

Now I am off to talk about all my life

problems at the psychologist.

And tomorrow JURY DUTY, BOO!

4 parts

PART 1

SCHNOOZE'S NEW HOME

I decided to get this tub out for storing bike stuff we are gonna sell.

when i heard the dryer buzz telling me to put the

dry sheets on the futon, I had to

kick schnooze out of her normal napping place

So i put some pillows in the bin, and put her in it.

She stayed for awhile, and i began to call her:

BUCKET DOG.

she loves it
see

then today as i was uploading pics, i look over and...
BAM, she's in the bucket on her own :)
i proceed to laugh out loud.
my little bucket dog, i am so proud.







PART 2


HOUSE ON FIRE


Sunday Night AHHHHH
cameron's not a yeller. but as i was checking my
email I heard him in the kitchen
making weird noises like he was dropping something.
Did he call out for help, no; did he yell, no; did he scream FIRE, no.
But our oven caught on fire...
and not that i cared our oven was on fire, but
i wanted to see it on fire. i mean it's not like we'd have to pay for it.
anyway, he had to use the fire extinguisher, and that crap's messy.
I didn't think you could tell in the pic, but ya, you can...
Super smoke filled house... at least it wasn't balls-cold outside,
we opened every window/door to our house, to de-smokify the place.

cam = firefighter



*shout out to mom, who made me keep a fire ext

in my college dorm
which i took to my next 3 college apts,
and my next house alone x 2 yrs,

and my move out to CO
so mom, thanks for making me dorky, but saving my life :)






PART 3



CRAFT TIME
cute/old picture cards

1. buy these blank cards
(cream woulda been cuter, but white = 50 for the same price of 40 creams)

2. scan some old photos you steal from your
grandma's house or your mom's house
(be smart when picking pics, look for ones that
have good themes for cards)

3. upload them onto kodak.com
and get several prints of each
At the end when you are checking

your order before paying,
you can add a white border to all pics for free.
Do that to make them look old

4. get those pics in the mail
and finally say "yesssssss" when the mailman brings them

5. Buy some of this (always handy... more projects later): craft spray

6. *Forgot, but when getting ready to start spraying, do it outside,
or line your whole house with newspaper,
otherwise there will be glue spray EVRYWHERE,
even if you think you are covering the whole house really well,
you'll find it on your channel changer)

7. Spray this stuff onto back of pic

8. press pic onto card

9. let dry for about 10-15 min

10. send to people to make them laugh/cry/wish happy bday/love/miss

this was me when i was a wee tyke

(inside might say.... AWWW NUTS... i forgot)

that pic in the top is of: me, lo, and lane sitting on a couch

on the left is my dad with a guitar and a cane

(that might say "on the road again")

uncle lance and his wife???

"congrats on the wedding"





PART 4

DAMN JURY DUTY

P.S. don't get the flu (or whatever i had) unless you don't want to

Random In The Life Of Liz

Schnooze being a cutey

This is where she is most of the day,

on the futon in the office

The pizza I made a week ago (delay in posting)

I used leftovers for the next day in cooking

A LIZ CANNON FIRST

it's a take on the previous post yumm-o pizza

But the night before i made naan and hummus and eggplant/onions

so i re-used the eggplant mixture and put oregano (fresh) on top!

This was not really what I had in mind making a scone

but i kinda winged it with sus's help

but instead of lightly spreading jam in the middle

i doused it, chalk full of blackberry jam

which made it more like a cobbler

which wasn't bad, just not what i had in mind

still v. tastey (v.= shout out to lo & leslie)



new keens!
We got our dividend back from REI
and i was able to get these and new mtb gloves
(those are for our mtb trip in july)
AND Cam still gets to use the other 1/2 of the dividend!
rei is so cool.





so cute huh? comfortable, yet stylish!





schnooze looks dead, but she's not. look at
her little paw over her nose :)

1. sorry it's taken me so long to post, comp sounds like it's about to die

and was going soooo slow

2. go to this blog, about a girl my same age who has CF

and was going in to get all the testing done to be on the double lung transplant list

and then found out she was pregnant

and this is her story thru her journey, told by her husband

3. cameron is stressed about getting enough counseling hours (90+) before he grads

and 27 more hours in culteral immersion (buddhism). so if you need counseling or not, pls go visit and request cameron at Lost & Found

or if you are a buddhist

call or email or comment so he can interview you!!!!

4. 2 months and 6 days til he graduates and we can call him

MASTER CAMERON

5. it is like 60 degrees outside!

6. movies i have watched in the past 2 days:

The Perfect Witness: SUCKED scary but made me feel gross

a story about a college film student who stalks this serial killer and then ends up

doing a documentary about his serial killings.... sounds good, but nope.

Becoming Jane: Okay, but really hard to get into

A story about Jane Austen and her life growing up (really about from 20-60 years old)

Across the Universe: just really bad minus how great the Beatles songs were re-done

A musical using all Beatles songs. Story line: some English kid comes to NY and makes

random friends and they all live together and he (Jude) falls in love with (Lucy) and

blah blah blah. I just couldn't get into this either.

Michael Clayton: weird weird weird... don't really know why why why George Cloony picked

this script. It was about a lawyer that ends up stumbling upon this 16 year old lawsuit

pertinant piece of info and was gonna be the hero (kinda reminded me of Erin

Brockovich) but he gets followed by the other side of the lawsuit people. Sounds good,

just a bad execution of the story.

Five People You Meet in Heaven: first off, didn't read the book, may have been my first

mistake. But it was weird and boring.

Story of old man carnival maitenence man that dies and his life in heaven. He meets 5

people that were significant in his life and comes to peace with them.

Tuesdays with Morrie: love love love love it!!!! Did read the book.

Story of a very busy sports writer that sees his old buddy college prof on the news, and

he is dying. He ends up spending every Tuesday with his until he dies, learning very

valuable lessons about life, love, and death. LOVED IT!

I know it looks like a lot of movies, but I had to turn off Across the Univ and 5 people you meet

in heaven, b/c they were sooooo boring.

7. I am planning some crafts this afternoon.

8. I am still doing my bi-weekly workout and even got some 8lb weights to lift so my awesomely huge muscles!

9. Sus's sister had surgery yesterday: read up on it!

That's all for now, enjoy the day!

random stuff

Videos of the weekend

home from the sooner state

I flew out to Oklahoma Friday at about 10:00am

Susanne met me at the airport with Sophie.

It was pretty crazy b/c I get a call from the cousin lauren, as i am waiting for sus

she is yelling into the phone that she can see me, and she in under the SW sign!

She was picing up her friend katie, and we happened to be there at the same time!

it was cool, b/c then i got to see baby ben!!!!

anyways, susanne, lo, ben, sophie, and i hung out for about 10 minutes!

friday 2.29.08

we all went to 501 cafe: susanne, sophie, sister sus, and me
sophie had pulled her pony tail thing out and had a crazy mohawk!!!!

drooling up a storm!

sus and soph, aren't they the cutest?

seriously, don't you just want to eat her?

we went to the park afterwards, and she was just having a blast.

i musta brought the warm CO air with me, b/c it was about 70 degrees!

it looks as though my dear friend is pushing her

first born daughter into the duck pond... hmmmmm

"here ya go sophie, just a little bit closer"

me, sus, and soph

(i guess sus decided it would be too much trouble to push soph in, that's why she's not wet)

i am holding my socks, b/c i had to take them off, too hot

looking for ducks

me making sure she does not touch goose poop

sus's 16-week belly

sophie's 15 month old belly!

sus & chris's house dog: ninnah

HUG-A-PUG

chris (sus's hubby) & ninnah

me and susy sitting on the porch listen to the boys

play bob dylan. we then headed to Braum's...

yum.

a classic "sus" face :)

she claims she is not a hippie, b/c hippies live in vans,

don't drive anywhere

(wait how do they live in vans, but not drive, sus... hmmm?),

and they don't eat out. Those are the only criteria that make up

a hippie, according to sus. But she lives in one room (like a van),

only drives b/c she lives in Okla, and doesn't hardly ever eat out.

she is a total hippie.

I mean c'mon, we made homemade hummus and pitas for dinner.

saturday 3.1.08

Gram reading her letter to OSU to get financial aide

after she was accepted to the

OSU PhD Clinical Pschycology Program in 1973

sunday 3.2.08

at gram's after church, Lo and ben

ben LOVES all sports, watching with his papa brad

at 4pm sus and i headed out to the airport

but first we stopped at the froese's

to see laura (it's her bday today, she's old), andy, tucker, and yoda

see their blog for the Goodle tucker (it's really a golden doodle, but

it just makes more sense to shorten it to Goodle)

and yoda is a white mini schnauzer

tucker is the funiiest dog that you ever did see

i could stare at him for hours

and yoda hates me.

we did not take any pics, b/c we left our stuff in the car

as to not contaminate anything (laura has the flu)

then we stopped by Sauced in OKC

it is a cute pizza/coffee/alcohol/artist place

sus holding a vase

it looks like an add for odwalla, but nope,

just sitting in front of the fridge

cool atmosphere (pic without flash, which suits the coffee shop)

Then we look, and there is massive amts of lightning

and we had been talking to cameron all day

about my flight being delayed (there was about 3in of snow in denver)

and it had been delayed from 7:30 to 9:40

and then when sus dropped me off

delayed until 10:18, but they swore it was still gonna come.

then it got delayed til 11:30

then 12:00am

then 12:30am

then 1:18am

and the plane got in to okc about 12:50am and

we boarded and left about 1:30am

poor cam had to wait up for me so he oculd pick me up.

we got into bed at 3am, and he woke up for class at 7am.

but i am back and it feels good to be home.

susanne r: i sat next to a guy that went to UNC and knew Reed!
