Grove Market and Deli

My adorable friend Megan wrote this fabulous review for the Grove Market and Deli! 

"From the outside looking in, Grove Market and Deli looks like your typical mom and pop corner store. Well, unless it’s lunch time that is…

Once noon rolls around, anyone who’s in the mood to chow down on a sandwich made from their childhood dreams lines up at Grove’s. Why? Because Grove’s doesn’t think twice about stacking the meat high and using a full loaf (yes, a full loaf) of French bread to placate the fat kid within all of us.

I recommend the turkey avocado with all the fixins. I describe it to newbies as “a good kick in the mouth,” meaning if kicks in the mouth were good, you’d want one from Grove’s. The deli meat is fresh, the avocados make more than just an appearance, and the pickles! Ohh the pickles; they snap like nobody’s business."

10 things that make me terribly HAPPY!

1. Sleeping in on a rainy, Sunday morning.  Mmmm....
2. The laugh that Daniel has when something really funny catches him off guard.  He throws his head back, claps his hands once, and lets loose this contagious laugh from his gut.
3. Chats with friends that last into the wee hours of the morning.  The ones that make you laugh, cry, and then laugh again!
4. An immaculately clean and organized bedroom.  (So why can't I keep it that way?)
5. Scarves, earrings and bags!!  Oh my!
6. The lovely moments when my dad opens up and shares something beautiful, profound, and honest. 
7. Those rare moments when I belt out a song and I'm actually on key; I might even go so far to say that I sound pretty good!
8. Rootbeer floats!
9. A Utah State Aggie Touchdown!
10. Gathering around a yummy meal with my brothers and sisters; while we share hilarious survival stories from our childhood. 

I got this lovely idea from the Rockstar Diaries.  Picture by me.  :)

Empire State of Mind

New York!  It really is one of the most exciting cities in the entire world.  GRANTED, I haven't been to all the cities in the world.  But there is something about New York that touches your soul!  It brings life to dreams, aspirations, and beauty!  No other city has inspired me like New York did!  I hope to one day go back!  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE New York City. 

I also adore this version of Empire State of Mind with Alicia Keys!  I first saw it on SNL and then found this link, I hope you enjoy!

Questions Answered on LOST

Okay, so after three hours of LOST last night I was; thrilled that the new and last season has begun, slightly disappointed in the additional questions that emerged, and excited to finally get some answers to a few haunting questions!!! I won't tell you what the answer is, but I will tell you what questions we got answers to!

"What is the black smoke and jungle monster?"
"Why was there ash around Jacob's house?"
"What was in the guitar case that Hugo brought back to the island?"
"What happened to the survivors in the 70's when the bomb went off?"
"How does Miles talk to dead people?" (sort of)

Other than that, there were like 100 new questions. How are they ever going to answer all the questions by May 13th?

Can I just say, it was so lovely to see Boone, Charlie and Claire again!!

Sundance 2010

It's all over and I'm slightly sad to see it go. I had such a great time this year. I saw three movies:

HappyThankYouMorePlease

The Company Men

The Romantics

My favorite movie was HappyThankYouMorePlease. Here's a picture of the Q&A with the cast after the showing.


Melanie and I got to go to the ASCAP Music Cafe and saw such awesome artists such as:

• John Forte
• The Black Dynamite Orchestra
• The Fray

Last night we saw The Romantics in Ogden at the spectacular Peery's Egyptian Theatre. That theatre is AMAZING; if you've never been, make a trip up there. It is beautiful!
Yes, there is a guy playing show tunes on an organ!!

Twelve more months and we'll get to do it again!

LOST - Series Finale

I am so CRAZY, EXCITED for this last season of LOST.



Here are the first four minutes of the show, starting on Tuesday!

ARI

After Thanksgiving, the cutest boog-a-boo moved in!

We just love her so much!!!

**Two cutie-pa-tooties**

Mushaboom!

I love this song, it just gets me up and moving every time I hear it!

Haircuts

Yup, after months of ignoring the blaring fact that we all needed haircuts; we finally asked Allison to come down and help us out!

Gloria's Little Italy

Mmmm, what a meal! Grandma, Daniel and I decided we would finally visit the new Italian restaurant that everyone was buzzing about. It was beyond expectations!

I got the mushroom tortelini; I died and went to heaven!

Gloria's Little Italy is on the corner of University Ave and Center Street. Not only is it delicous, but the price was good, the ambiance was fantastic, there was live entertainment and if it's your birthday they play an Italian birthday song for you, on the violin! How lovely!

Mmmm, italiano perfeito!
