Virginia is for Lovers: Day Fourteen

Another Costco run. Mei Li didn't really want to go shopping with us, but I told her that we'd find some treats to eat. I think she realized that it was worthwhile after the chocolate ice cream cone sample.

Jonathan and I have a new tv addiction: Castle. There is something so interesting about murder mysteries. It reminds me of old times when I would sit and watch Diagnosis Murder with Dick Van Dyke. So, we started watching it a couple days ago and let's just say we don't have too much more to watch before we're caught up to real time. We should probably find better things to do, like watch the Bachelorette!

Jokes, jokes. It's definitely not the most worth while show, but it can be very entertaining. Ie Li, Steve, Jonathan, and I sat down to roll our eyes and chuckle as we watched men fight for Ali's love and attention. There were more than enough scenes where Ali ran into a man's arms so he could twirl her around. Most of them were with Roberto for sure though. He's definitely a top pick, but enough of that.

A few days ago we were in Wegman's and we saw some toy lacrosse sticks with a ball. We decided that we couldn't pass them up and took them home along with our last minute groceries. Before our family viewing of the Bachelorette, Jonathan and I thought we'd put those sticks and ball to use and play some LAX. That's the cool way of saying lacrosse.

I've really come to like lacrosse a lot. Somehow I became acquainted with lots of Virginians this year and they ALL play/played lacrosse. I think "playing LAX" is maybe my way of transitioning from a west coast gal to an east coast gal. One day I'll live in Virginia.

"It's Not Just a Show"

I just want to share a few things about my roommate, Cassie. I love her a lot. We can connect on a lot of different levels: knowing the names of too many OPI nail polishes and bonding over dramatic shows are just a couple. We do our nails on a regular basis together and if we don't watch our shows together, we always have a discussion.

So the point of this blog. Recently, Grey's Anatomy had it's most dramatic season finale EVER. I can't imagine that many of my readers watch it, but I'll give a heads up anyway, this will be a little bit of a spoiler. So, in the finale, there is a shooter in the hospital and he is shooting everyone because Derek Shepherd(Patrick Dempsy) unplugged this man's wife from life support according to her orders. This man had begged and begged him not to do it, but Shepherd went through with it anyway. So, this man comes shooting everyone in the hospital including Derek, in front of his wife, Meredith, who just found out she was pregnant that day and hasn't told him yet.

Cassie gets very invested in her shows. She had a definite panic attack while watching the show and claimed that they were shooting all her friends. So, I got some of it on video, and it never fails to make me laugh.
