summer summer summer

i enjoyed a very summery weekend.

it started off with riding bikes around the cul-de-sac with a & g friday night while babysitting. before that we made some delicious chocolate chip cookies. mmm mmm good.

saturday i attended "slip n slide mania" at a park in sandy with some friends. as you may know, i live my life in fear and when i saw this 200 foot slip n slide, i promptly let everyone know that i would not be going down the slide but would be happy to spray people and the slide with the hose. what can i say? i'm just a giant pansy. BUT i did end up going down the slide...twice. i am so proud of myself. even in spite of the fact that my behind is quite sore from it. and since i was standing in the sun all day...i am kind of becoming a bronze goddess. summer goal #1 - check.

saturday night i finally got to see 500 days of summer. utah is so lame and i swear we never get the cool movies when they first come out. can i just tell you how much i loved this movie? a lot. that's how much. it was sooooo good. it was smart, funny, artistic, sad, beautiful...it was just wonderful. seriously though, it is one of my new favorite movies. it is creatively put together, the soundtrack is awesome, the actors all did an amazing job, this movie really is perfection. the characters are very relateable - i am totally tom hansen, so thanks a lot. i can't decide if that's a good thing or not. go see it right now if you haven't already. if you have seen it, leave a little comment on what you thought and we can have a little discussion about it, okay? okay.
