Weekend in Tempe

So I went to Tempe this weekend since it was my first weekend off since I started at Dillard's. On Saturday I went to Bookman's with Katie and Olivia and got some new books (Shocking, I know). We went to Target too where I bought some clothes I couldn't afford. After that I went to see my grandparents and my aunt Kathy and cousin Dylan. We watched the Ohio State game (sucks to be you Ohio) and ate dinner. After dinner with the fam, I met back up with Katie and Olivia and we went to the state fair. We rode this one ride that threw you way up in the air and you got flipped upside down and backwards. It was so fun!

You can see people's feet dangling at the top. We also went on the ferris wheel and saw some animals. There was this huge pig that was 1000 lbs. and an alligator. After the rides we ate deep fried oreo's and twinkies and Katie shared her turkey leg with us. 

Today I spent the day with my parents and Erin. We went out to lunch and afterwards Erin and I played for a while. We took lots of pictures and she convinced dad to bring us home ring pops. 

It was an awesome weekend! I'm exhausted but I'm glad I went anyways. Back to work tomorrow. 

Cookies

Ok so the other night at like 9 I decided that I needed to go buy mixing bowls. I have been trying to learn how to cook and I've also been making all of my lunches in the beginning of the week to save money at work. It's really hard to learn how to cook though when you don't have any cookware. So I set out for mixing bowls (it was the only thing really in my budget). Well Jackie and I got to Target and......I locked my keys in my car. Smooth move.  Luckily the Montano girls came to my rescue with their roadside assistance. (Plan B was a wire hanger but luckily we didn't need that. So to make a long story short, I finally went in and got my mixing bowls. They have been sitting in my cupboard for a day or two because I had nothing to make in them. So tonight I finally decided to make the delicious cookies my aunt sent me.

So these are my fancy mixing bowls 

And these are some of the cookies. So good!
