Just a sip of Coffey

I have many goals in life. One of them is to bake a perfect pie. Well I did it! the past few days I have been working on making this pie that I have been dreaming about for weeks. I broke up the pie making into two days so that I made sure it would be perfect and not rushed. Day one I made the crust and  pitted all of my cherries. Day two I did all the hard stuff. The actual assembly of the pie and the baking. Which by the way had to bake for almost 2 hours. I was slightly worried once the pie was in the oven just because I have had a few mishaps while baking. I was just praying that this wasn't going to be one of them. When the time came I got the pie out of the oven and it was fantastic. We all were able to enjoy some wonderful million calorie pie!  The pie filling! MMHMM! Sweet Perfection!

I truly wish I had a picture for this one. Sam and I have been meaning to go swimming all summer long, and it didn't happen until this past Wednesday. We had one, well maybe two goals when we went to the pool. One, to get a sweet tan, and Two, to have fun with each other. We decided to go with the tanning oil instead of the sunscreen which we thought would make our tans even better! Well we get home and it's pretty obvious we have been in the sun all day. My tan is pretty good, and Sam, well he's about the same color he was when we got to the pool that morning. It wasn't until the next day that we realized how serious Sam had been burnt. It looked like he was just fried. Totally red and burnt. I felt really bad since I didn't get a burn but I tried to make Sam as comfortable as I could. I thought the burn would gradually get better, but the truth is, it has only gotten worse.There has been no sleep and lots of pain...so I have decided to compile a short list to help...

For the past few weeks Sam has started scaring me when I come out of the bathroom. He will literally wait until the toilet flushes and then comes and quietly stands outside the bathroom door. Naturally, I don't anticipate someone to be standing there and it's quite frightening! This has happened a few times and Sam tends to think he is the funniest thing ever when he is able to freak me out. So I have totally forgiven him for doing this, because it's just fun. So the greatest thing happened on Sam's day off. We were just hangin out, watchin LOST, and Sam got up to use the bathroom. After a minute, I thought, What a perfect opportunity for me to scare Sam with his own joke! So I heard the toilet flush and I quietly, trying not to totally giggle, wait outside the door. Sam opens it, and I am pretty sure he was more scared than I have ever been when he has done it to me. It was the funniest thing! It brought me great joy, and I will never forget how awesome it was to watch...

Well...many of you who know me, know that I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan! We got tickets to go see the movie yesterday before the midnight showing. I have been so extremely excited about this movie that it's not even funny. It's the final chapter, the epic conclusion of the whole Harry Potter story. I think seeing this movie with Sam let him see my true nerdiness about the whole thing. I just couldn't stop being excited the entire movie, which was excellent. When we got home I was still so excited that it took me, what seemed like ages to fall asleep. Me falling asleep was still not good enough..I had Harry Potter dreams all night, and woke up ready to see the movie again! The good news, I think Sam liked it too, and he was able to accept my inner dork. Sam and I in our super sweet matching Harry Potter shirts!

Well after the long wait since October, we finally got a Google TV. Since we have been so into the TV show Lost, we decided we needed to get a second TV. Let me back up, we have two TV's, only one of them is super small. So Sam decides that he is going to start looking and sets a price range, and all the requirements of this new TV and happens to find a Google TV that fits all of those requirements. It's almost as if he already knew about this TV, which is totally perfect. We have had it since the beginning of the week and I am still deciding how sold I am on the whole thing. Hopefully Sam can show me something that impresses me about it! hahahahaha!

I feel like I should change my blog name to The Adventures of Mr. Coffey since most of these stories seem to be about Sam. But as an innocent bystander, I feel like the adventures of Mr. Coffey are also my own. Yesterday we had the privilege of babysitting our niece and two nephews(twins). It was super fun, and Sam got to have some very new experiences that may or may not have convinced him we don't need kids right now.  Since we babysat twins, I decided I would feed and do diaper duty for one and he could do the other...So I did my share, and when it was Sam's turn the baby wouldn't open his mouth for Sam to feed him. It was a little funny just because it was his first time dealing with babies and this little guy must have known. Sam looks at me for help, so I helped and things went just fine after that. Next, diaper duty. Sam has NEVER changed a diaper in his life. I thought it was pretty crazy. We had a little diaper lesson, and Sam did a great job, however, I do wonder ...

Sam is super funny. About 4 months before we got married Sam decided to kick his Mountain Dew habit/addiction..whatever you would like to call it. This was really exciting. If there was one thing you knew about Sam, it was that he drank Mountain Dew, and now he wanted to stop drinking it. Well, he did it! He completely stopped drinking Mountain Dew. Just before we were married Sam asked if we could get some Mountain Dew while on our honeymoon as a special treat so we did. The thing about it was, is that we discovered the limited edition Dew that is out right now! We have been buying the limited edition ever since. The thing with limited edition is that it can be pretty hard to find. So basically every time we go to the store we end up searching the soda section for the stuff. It's totally my new favorite thing to do! I love seeing the smile on Sam's face when I am able to find it, and bring it home! This is the totally hilarious picture of Sam searching for the Li...
