Angel Food Cake

Today I made my first gluten-free angel food cake! It tasted pretty good but was very dense! I wanted it to be light and fluffy and sadly it didn't turn out like that at all! I am determined to get it light and fluffy next time! My uncle told me to be the egg whites longer next time or to add more! Does anyone else have anymore suggestions?

Sherlock Holmes

Today Alex, Marky, Julie, Koali, and I went to see Sherlock Holmes! I thought that it was pretty entertaining! Alex wasn't too impressed! He fell asleep for half the movie! I loved Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law! I thought that they were very funny together!! It was a pretty good movie, not my favorite but worth seeing!

Merry Christmas!!

Done!!

Somehow I managed to get all of our Christmas shopping done in 2 days! I finally finished today! I spent 9 hours yesterday shopping! The crowds were terrible! Next year I am planning ahead!!

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

I just finished watching The Grinch! I loved this story when I was a kid and it is so fun to watch it over and over again! It is up there on my list of favorite Christmas movies! Such a good one!!

I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas!!

It snowed non stop yesterday! I really want a white christmas this year! The weather man stays that snow is not in the forcast! Cross your fingers and hope he is wrong!!

Love Actually!!

Yesterday Sara and I watched my favorite Christmas movie Love Actually! It is such a great movie! I watch it every Christmas at least once! I absolutely LOVE it!! Alex for some reason refuses to watch this movie! He just needs to give it a chance! If you haven't seen this movie you really have to! It is so wonderful!!

The Nutcracker!!

Last night Julie, Koali, and I went to see Ballet West's The Nutcracker! It was so amazingly good! I absolutely loved it! It was so fun going out with the girls to see a ballet! Alex will sit through ballets if I force him so its nice to be able to go with just the girls! Alex's little cousin Whitney was in the ballet (one of the party girls)! It was so fun watching her throughout the entire first act! She was absolutely adorable! I loved it so much and can't wait to go again next year!!

Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances

Last night I finished reading Let It Snow!! It was so cute! I thought it was such a fun Holiday/Christmas book! All 3 of the stories intertwine with each other! They are such cute stories! The 3 stories take place in the same town on Christmas Eve! I really liked it a lot! I might have to read it again next year to help get me in the spirit of Christmas!

R.I.P.

Sad!! I just heard that Brittany Murphy died yesterday! I really liked her! I LOVED her in Clueless! I can't believe she was only 32 when she died! So sad! I will really miss her! She was a funny and entertaining girl! Rest In Peace!

The Holiday!!

I wasn't feeling too well yesterday so I decided to have a lazy day in bed! I watched The Holiday! I absolutely LOVE this movie! I think that it is so cute!! I have a confession, I watched it twice yesterday! I am such a nerd but I wasn't in the mood for anything else! I love the story of this movie and can watch it over and over again! It is so great!

Gluten-free Crepes!!

The other day Al made me some delicious gluten-free crepes!! They were so amazingly delicious! I couldn't get enough of them! I keep asking him to make them for me again! I am totally in love crepes right now! They are so yummy with cinnamon and sugar! They are so good and so easy to make!!

Holiday Inn!!

Last night while Alex was at work I decided to watch Holiday Inn! I had never seen it before and I LOVE Bing Crosby! I thought that it was so cute! I love old movies when they sing and dance!! It was so good! Definitely worth owning someday!

Procrastinate Much?

This is the worst I have ever procrastinated! I am so naughty!! Christmas is in one week and I haven't even started my Christmas shopping yet! I hope that I can get it all done! I swore last year that I wouldn't be out shopping on Christmas Eve and once again I'm sure I will be! I am seriously starting to panic!

America's Favorite Dancer Is...

RUSSELL!!

Alex and I loved Russell from the very beginning of the show! He is such an amazing crumper! I was so happy when he won! I loved Jakob, he was seriously amazing but Russell was just so sweet! I love it when my favorite wins!!

Happy Birthday Julie!!!

Today is Alex's mom, Julie's Birthday!! I am so lucky! I have the greatest mother-in-law in the entire world! Thank you so much for being so amazing!! We love you so much! I hope you are having a great b-day at Disneyland! Happy Birthday!!!

A Christmas Story!!

Today Sara and I watched another X-mas movie! We decided to watch A Christmas Story! It's one of my favorites! I was so shocked when I heard that Sara had never seen this movie! So naturally, I forced her to watch it with me! I love this movie so much! It's tradition that I watch it every Christmas! I am getting more and more in the Christmas spirit! All the Christmas movies are helping!!

Christmas Wish List

Every year Alex and I write up a Christmas List for my Mom to help her with her X-mas shopping! Here you go Mommy! I hope that this helps and gives you a few ideas!

Britt's Christmas Wish List

I'm dying to own the new Harry Potter dvd!


I LOVE getting new socks!! The more the better!

I would love a new book or 2! A Barnes & Noble gift card would be greatly appreciated!!

Alex's Christmas Wish List

Alex loved The Hangover and really wants to add it to our dvd collection!

Al LOVES getting new socks as much as I do!

Alex would love a new video game and a gift card to GameStop would be amazing so he could go pick out what one he wants!

Sad!!

Today we got some terrible news! Breathe Day Spa is closed!! It is our favorite place to go get a massage! I hope that they can re-open their doors once we are out of this recession! Cross your fingers that they open again soon! I have given lots of family members gift cards there and I hope that they used them!

New Phone!!

Over the weekend Alex broke his phone, again. That was the last of our phones so we had to get him a new one. Al bought the new blackberry curve! It's so pretty! He decided that it made more sense for me to have the new phone and him take my old blackberry pearl! I am much more careful with my phones and don't break them nearly as often as he does! I am loving my new phone and having fun trying to figure out how to use it! Thanks Al for the NEW phone! I love it!!

Yummy Potatoes!!

Al's mom, Julie makes the best potatoes! I asked her for her recipe and tried my hardest to make them taste half as good as hers! I offered to bring the potatoes to Sara's and Jon's Christmas party last night! I was so nervous but I thought that they turned out so good! I had a big plate full and by the time I went back for seconds they were gone!! So I guess that means everyone else thought they were pretty delicious too! Cooking gluten free foods can be kind of tricky sometimes but the potatoes turned out amazing! Thanks Julie for the recipe!!

Peppermint Hot Chocolate!!

I am in love with Peppermint Hot Chocolate right now! I have had a cold for the last week and a half, (thank you, Alex) and all I have wanted to consume is hot chocolate! It is so good! The last few mornings have been really snowy so I've made my self hot chocolate and gotten back in bed to read for a while! It's been so nice!

To Catch A Pirate

I just finished To Catch A Pirate last night! I loved this book! It was so cute! It was so fun reading about pirates! It was such a quick read! I read it in 2 days! I couldn't put it down! It was so addicting! If you love pirates half as much as I do, I bet you'd love this book! It was great!!

White Christmas!!

Today Sara and I watched another Christmas movie to get us more excited for Christmas! We watched White Christmas!! I love this movie! It's one of my favorites! It is so good! If you haven't seen this movie, you have to! It's so good!

Oh, Christmas Tree!!

The tree is finally decorated!! I got it up a bit later than I had wanted! I love having my tree up with the lights on! It just makes my house look so cozy! I am getting so excited for Christmas!!

The Beach House

I just finished reading The Beach House!! I absolutely loved it! It was such a cute story! I love that it ended happy! It was a really good book! It would be the perfect book to read at the beach! If you want to read a really good book this one was so cute! I loved it!! I didn't want it to end! I wanted to read more about all the characters I loved!

Pearl Harbor

The attack on Pearl Harbor was 68 years ago today. Have you ever been to the Memorial? It is a really powerful place to see at least once in your life. It is such a sad place but surprisingly peaceful. It is such a huge part of our history as Americans. I don't think that anyone will ever forget the loss of all that died that day!

Pizza

I LOVE pizza! I have decided it is my favorite food and the food I miss most not being able to eat wheat! I have tried to make gluten free pizza and it never turns out that good! Yesterday we had the Neff family Christmas Party, Lights On! Al's adorable grandma made me the best gluten free pizza I've ever had! Now all I can think about is pizza, pizza, pizza! It was amazing!!

Howard Jones Greatest Hits!!

Have you heard of Howard Jones? I hadn't ever heard of him till today! I am loving his greatest hits!! Thanks to Mark and Julie, they let us borrow this cd! I was shocked that he had so many amazing songs in the 80's and I didn't even know his name! What Is Love is my favorite right now, but every song is good!!

Nightmare Before Christmas!!

Sara and I decided that we are going to watch at least 1 Christmas movie every week until Christmas! This week we watched The Nightmare Before Christmas!! It is one of my favorite Christmas movies for sure! I love all the songs! Zero is my favorite, he is so cute!! If for some insane reason you haven't seen this, you have to watch it! I love it!!

Th1rteen R3asons Why!!

I just finished reading Th1rteen R3asons Why!! I absolutely LOVED this book!! It was so good! It was so sad though! I cried a little bit throughout the entire book! This is a book that I will want to read over and over agian! There are so many characters that are all intertwined with each other and sometimes it was hard to keep track of them! If you want to read a really good book you should read this one!! It's definitely one of my favorite's now!!

Angels and Demons

The other night Trevor came over to watch Angels and Demons with us! I read the book about 5 years ago and same with Alex! I was surprised that I really liked it! I thought that it would totally suck. I was disappointed in The DaVinci Code but this movie was so much better!! If you haven't seen it, its worth watching!!

24 Days Till Christmas!!

It's finally December!! I love the month of December! I have a lot to do to get ready for Christmas! I still have to decorate and start thinking about Christmas presents! I have already been listening to lots of Christmas music over at Sara's house! (Alex hates it!) I am so excited for this Christmas season!!

Happy Birthday Marky!!

Today is Al's dad, Marky Mark's birthday!! I have the best father-in-law in the entire world! I am so lucky to have married into such an amazing family!! Tonight we are going to dinner at Market Street to celebrate his birthday! Happy Birthday Mark! We love you!! Thanks for being so great!!

7 Months!!

I can't believe that Eclipse is coming out in only 7 months!! I am so excited! I thought it was going to come out a year after New Moon but I guess I was wrong! It's in theaters June 30th!! Yay! I can't wait!!

A Christmas Carol

Sara, Jon, Alex, and I just went to see A Christmas Carol in 3-d on the IMAX!! It was so fun seeing it in 3-d! I have always loved the story of A Christmas Carol! I really liked the spin Disney and Jim Carrey put on it!! I thought that it was really good! Alex slept through half of the movie! I think it's totally worth seeing! Alex might disagree with me though!

Go UTES!!

Today is the day we wait for every year! The biggest game of the year! Utah vs Byu! I am a bit nervous for the game! I hope Utah kicks their trash! Sara, Jon, and Oliver are coming over to watch the game with us! Go Utes!!

Star Trek

My mom was dying to watch Star Trek with us! Yesterday she came over to watch it with us! I had wanted to see this movie for quite a while! Everyone that had seen it was raving about it! I am not a Treky in anyway! I really liked this movie though! I was shocked that I liked it so much! Alex thought it was ok, not his favorite!

Puzzle Time!!

In my family the holidays equals puzzle time! I swear its our favorite activity to do over at my mom's while chatting! Alex loves puzzles! My favorite part is getting the edge done! My mother is a huge nerd and everytime she gets a piece she has to say, 'Success!!' It's pretty entertaining! I can't wait to see how many puzzles we get done this holiday season! Becca is a huge puzzler and we usually get a few done in the week she visits! I can't wait!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!! This year we are having Thanksgiving at Al's grandparents house! I LOVE having Thanksgiving there! I can't wait to eat a plate full of mashed potatos! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Trans!!

Oh my f!! We just saw Trans!! Sara invited me to go with her and her family! It was such a fun girls night out! I have always loved Trans but it was so amazing actually seeing them in concert! It is so insane!

It totally got us in the Christmas spirit! I can't wait to go again next year! It was so great! Thanks again Sara for letting me tag along with you!!

The Goods

Last night Trevor came over to watch The Goods with us! We really wanted to see this movie when it came out but never got around to it! I thought it was pretty funny! Not the funniest or best movie ever but worth watching! I think I was expecting it to be better so I was a bit disappointed! If you love Jeremy Piven half as much as I do, then its worth watching!

America's Next Top Model Is...

NICOLE!! She was our favorite girl from the very first episode this season! Uncle Dan and I were so excited to see our favorite win!! She is such a nice girl! Here are a few of my favorite pictures of her!

I'm so glad that she won! We did feel bad for the runner up, Laura! She was such a cute girl too! Laura was our second favorite! I can't wait for the next season!!

I love you, Beth Cooper

Last night Alex and I watched I love you, Beth Cooper! I had been dying to see this movie for months! I love Hayden Panettier! She is so adorable! It was surprisingly a cute movie! It wasn't the greatest movie ever but I still really liked it! I'm glad that we waited to rent it!

Poor Alex!!

Poor Alex woke up this morning with a horrendous toothache! His right side of his face was terribly swollen!! My poor boy has an abscessed tooth! I feel so bad for him! It really looks quite painful!! Lucky us, we don't have dental insurance until January!! That was a very expensive prescription!! I hope the antibiotics help!!

MLS Cup

Tonight is the MLS Cup!! Can you believe that Real made it all the way there? I couldn't! I hope that they kick LA's butts!!

No Reservations

Last night I watched No Reservations. I had wanted to watch this movie for quite a while but never had enough time. I thought it was a really cute movie! I like it alot!! If you are in the mood for more of a chick flick this one was really cute!!

Oprah

Yesterday Oprah shocked the world by saying she is retiring in 2011! Good for her! She has so much money she should just stay home and enjoy her billions! Our tv's wont be the same with out her but I think I will survive.

LOVED IT!!

Last night Sara, Jon, Koali, Trevor, Al and I went to see the midnight showing of New Moon! I absolutely loved it!! I was so shocked! I'm usually so disappointed in the movies! I thought that it was way better than Twilight! I can't wait to go see it again! If you haven't seen it yet you are going to love it!!

In-n-Out Burger

Are you a fan of In-n-Out burger? Today is the grand opening of the second location in Utah. The newest location is in Orem! I like In-n-Out a lot but I'm not driving to Orem for a burger. Call me crazy but I would rather have Wendy's!! Maybe I will have one when all the hoopla dies down!! Enjoy your burgers everyone!!

Twilight Tatts!!

What do you think of these Twilight tattoos? Some of them are pretty cool! (in a totally nerdy way) I would really love to get a full sleeve of Edward on my arm! Not!! I'm so glad that I am not obsessed with tattooing my entire body because I would definitely get one of these lame tatts! I am that big of a nerd!!

New Moon

I just finished reading New Moon for the second time! I never wanted to re-read this one. It was my least favorite of all the books! It's so sad and depressing! But the second time I liked it a lot more! I really love these books! I'm so glad that my cousin, Ada got me hooked on them!!

Twilight Scene It!!

I really need this game!! I am a huge nerd and have surprisingly a lot of friends that love the Twilight books as much as I do! I think that this game would be so fun! I'm totally going to have a Twilight party!! Anyone want to play??

The Waterboy

Today Alex and I watched The Waterboy! I hadn't watched this movie in years! I forgot how funny it was! I really love every Adam Sandler movie! It is so cute! If for some crazy reason you haven't seen this movie, you really need too! It's one of my favorite of his movies! Seriously a classic!!

Paquiao VS Cotto

I never have been a fan of fight night, but last night Al and I watched the series 24/7 Pacquiao Cotto on HBO. After watching that it got me really excited and interested in the fight! This is a huge fight!! Pacquiao has only lost 3 fights and Cotto has only lost 1. Cotto is the underdog! I hope that he wins!!

Last Day at KEPCO!!

Today is my last day at KEPCO! When I started back in July of 08, I thought I would only be there a few months! A year and and a half later I'm finally leaving! Hopefully, I really enjoy my new job!! I'm really going to miss working with everyone there! It's going to be sad not seeing Marky Mark, Koali, and Sara every day!

Happy Friday the 13th!!

Happy Friday the 13th!! Are you a superstitious person? I'm not really but when I was a kid I totally was! I would never step on a crack, I didn't want to break my mom's back! I would never walk under a latter. When walking up stairs I would always skip the 13th step! Such a silly kid! Maybe I'm less OCD now!!

Stay At Home Wife...

I found the perfect job!! A stay at home wife!! Doesn't that sound amazing? My house would be spotless all the time, I would have plenty of time to work on crafts, I could read one book a week, I would workout every day, and I would make the yummiest meals! That would seriously be the life!!

One More Week!!

One more week!! I can't wait! I'm trying to hurry and read the book to refresh my memory! Yes, that does make me a huge nerd! I have been looking forward to this movie for so long! I'm so excited!! It's almost here!

Happy Veteran's Day!!

Happy Veteran's Day!! Thank you to all the troops out there that having been fighting for our freedom! Words can't describe our gratitude!

Flu Shot

Today Alex and I are going to go get our flu shots. I have never had one before! Crazy, I know! Jetblue is awesome!! They offer all their employees and their spouses and families free flu shots every year! That is so wonderful!! Hopefully this year we will be flu free!

Tempted!!

I just finished reading Tempted!! Oh my F!! It was so intense! I absolutely loved it! Some of the stuff that happened I didn't even see it coming! It was so sad! It totally just leaves you hanging!! I cannot believe it just ends like that!! The next book is called Burned! I CANNOT wait for that book to come out! Too bad its not suppose to be out till May!

Question...

I really want to read a winter holiday book for our December Book Club. I have no clue what book to read though! Any ideas? I want a really cute book to get us in the Christmas spirit! Please help!!

The Zoo!!

Yesterday, I went to the zoo with Sara and her adorable little boy Oliver! It was such a blast! I seriously hadn't been to the zoo in 6 years! It was so fun seeing all the animals and hearing Oliver talk to them! It was so adorable! He would always say good bye to his favorites! I really need to go to the zoo more often! It was so fun! Next time I will have to have Al go with me! Thanks Sara for taking me with you guys! It was such a blast! We will have to go again if the weather stays nice!!

Death Becomes Her!!

I LOVED this movie when I was a kid! I thought that it was so hilarious and I could watch it over and over again! Last night Al and I were a bit bored and then this movie came on! We both got so excited and watched it! It really was just as awesome as we remembered! If for some crazy reason you haven't seen this you have to! If you have seen it and its just been a few years, you should watch it again! It's so funny! I love it!

Sausage

Alex and I use to hate sausage. Now we both are totally obsessed with it! Jimmy Dean's Maple Sausage is our favorite! It is so good! We eat it for breakfast all the time! You all should try it if you haven't!

Congrats Yanks!!

Last night the Yankees did it again! They won the world series for the 27th time! Congrats Yanks!!

So Sweet...

Yesterday I came home to my Boy and my Dad raking all of our leaves!! I didn't even have to lift a finger! They did all of it for me! It seriously looks so amazing! I was so grateful I didn't have to go out and spend hours standing on my hurt foot! They are so sweet! I have the best husband and dad ever!

Twilight Soundtrack...

I am totally obsessed with the Twilight Soundtrack! Every song on it is amazing! I am considering buying the New Moon Soundtrack! I hope its as good as this one! I listen to it almost every day at work!

The Uninvited

Last night Al and I watched The Uninvited! I was shocked at how much I liked it! It was really good and creepy! I totally wasn't expecting the ending! Total shocker! If you like watching creepy, suspenseful movies this one was great!

The Shack

I finally finished reading The Shack. Its only a 248 page book but it dives pretty deep into religion so it was a much slower process than expected! I really did like it but some parts were pretty boring and hard to understand! I'm glad that at the end it all comes together! Someday down the road I will read it again to see if I understand more of the religious aspect. It was a really good book, slow at first but worth the read.

Happy B-day Blog!!

I have now been blogging religiously for an entire year! Happy Birthday Brattanyimahugenerd.blogspot.com!!! Hopefully my blog will have many more b-days to come and I can keep boring you with my silly posts!

Job Hunting...TOTALLY SUCKS!!!

I have now been trying very hard to find a job for the last 2 weeks! I have applied to numerous places and have only been offered one job interview. That didn't go over too well since the guy stood me up. I only have 2 weeks left at KEPCO+! I gotta find something fast!!

I Heart Day Light Savings...

Yay!! I LOVE day light savings when we get to fall back! I love getting an extra hour of sleep! Don't forget to turn back your clocks an hour!! Enjoy the extra hour of sleep! I know that I will!

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween Everybody!! I love Halloween! It was always one of my favorite holidays as a kid! I loved getting all dressed up and going trick-or-treating! It was so fun! When we were kids my favorite part of Halloween was when Becca and I got home we would dump out all of our candy and switch each other for our favorites! Have a safe and fun Halloween! Get lots of candy!!
