The big 89!

Dan's grandma turned 89 years old on friday. To celebrate her achievement we all took the trip up to firth idaho. If you've never heard of firth, thats because its tiny. i mean tiny as in population 408. at least 50% of those people are most likely Mecham's. the whole fam lives in firth and basically all on the same street. its a family reunion every time we go up there. everyone likes to sit around and visit or watch sports but mostly, the Mecham's like to eat. This family eats more than any family ive ever met so i definitely fit right in. its one of those houses where everytime you see another aunt or cousin, they ask you to eat something. we were only there for 2 days, but i may have gained a considerable amount of weight. still a good trip. happy birthday grandma mecham!

i can cook

We go to dinner every sunday at my parents house. Every sunday my mom seems to find a way to mention just how sick of cooking she is after all those years of cooking for her family. so for mothers day i thought it more than appropriate to cook for my parents. it turned out quite delicious. i dont mean to brag but seriously....i impressed myself. i made parmesan chicken with angel hair pasta and a seasoned tomatoe sauce. we had parmesan rolls, artichokes, and apple pie. im sure we won't have any major holiday dinners at our house for a long time but when it happens, ill be ready. why dont i take pictures of these things?

i'm not a blogger

i really suck at this whole blogging thing. it's definitely not because i don't have time, i have more than enough of that. im actually trying to find another job to fil my time and bank account. so far unsuccessful. yesterday was day one for job searching. i went to carabba's because i had heard good things about working there. i walked in and saw three people filling out applications. i asked for one as well and began filling it out. there are two parts to the application including a test portion for which you needed one of these little books they provided. Unfortunately they only had three books and they were all being used. I started filling out the other part while waiting for a test book to use. it took about ten minutes to fill out the first portion of the application and in that time like 8 more people came in for applications and one girl already had an interview. so im sitting there waiting for a test book and i decide im just going to have to come back at a better time. maybe a time when the odds for getting a job are a little more on my side. i asked the girl for the first part of my application back so i could turn it in when i came back and she said the applications arent allowed to leave the premises. what? what could i possibly do with the application? what a waste of time. ill keep looking.
