Honesty is the best policy...

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

Ok, I'll be honest about why I haven't blogged in forever....

you see a few months ago people kept commenting on how funny my blog was. I'd smile, feel a little bashful but be pretty excited that people were actually reading it.

Then I would sit down at the computer to write a post and I'd start gulping alot and sweating bullets, and, well trying to be funny is way too much pressure. I mean I've restarted this post 3 times already this morning, I am seriously struggling.

This struggle might have something to do with the fact that I now work in law. I am a legal assistant at The Lance Firm for attorney's who specialize in personal injury law. It's pretty serious business and it is definately messing with my sense of humor...

Take this conversation I had on the phone with my mom while I was at work for example...

Mom: **laughing and the punch line of some story she's just finished telling**
"um Kyra, you're not laughing..."
Kyra: "I know mom. I work in law. What did you expect?"

This lack of sense of humor may also have something to do with the fact that my boss carries a gun around the office from time to time. You'd be a lot more serious too if the man who signs your paychecks also has a gun in his holster.

So anyways it's now "magic burger Brandon's" job to provide the funnies on this blog because it's a downhill slope for me.

There are a few quick updates...

This is the absolute best time of year. Minus the snow/cold part (& by cold I mean temperature as well as the fact that it's the flu season).

Brandon and I have been married almost a whole year and it just keeps getting better and better. Some of the betters: we have discovered a deep love for Costco, Brandon is now used to the fact that I am going to sleep on his side of the bed and we are just pretty much unstoppable from here on out.

Frogurt is life changing.

This was Brandon's last week at NetDeposit (a temporary job that I should have blogged about months ago). He is now on the look out for a job with a gaming company, and by gaming I am not talking twister or apples to apples (lightbulb! apples to apples for the itouch! I'll get Brandon going on that one), think Zelda or Halo. If anyone has any connections, hook us up!

Hope you all have an awesome thanksgiving. It is one of the very best holidays. There is just so much to be thankful for!

Seriously, 2 thanksgiving dinners, a couple rounds of uno/texas hold em, New Moon tomorrow and St. George for the rest of the long weekend! Maybe even some In & Out Burger if Brandon is lucky... :)

We are just living the life!

P.S. Brandon would like me to inform everyone that he hides secret links in his posts. Happy searching!

The IN-N-OUT Event!

Hey everyone, this is Brandon. you may remember me from such posts as "Brandon, you're trying to turn this blog from Brandon and Kyra to Brandon vs. Kyra!" While the urge is still there to try to make this Brandon vs. Kyra, I'm trying my best to keep the peace. Did you see that underline action babe? Anyway, moving on before Kyra deletes this post.

I'm not sure that I've heard rantings about any non-local restaurant as much as I've heard about In-N-Out Burger. Seriously folks, it's the best. Lucky for us Salt Lakeians, the non-local has become the local. I've never been to this burger place, and it does look delicious.... and as excited as I am to try out a double-double with extra toast and the satisfaction I'll feel when they know what I'm talking about when I say that, I wasn't about to wind through the massive drive through line that was formed with what looked like thousands of construction cones.

So yes, Kyra was in the car with me. You might be thinking this long wait would be sweet and romantic and we'd have a lot of bonding time. To that I'd respond that Kyra is only married to me due to our stimulating conversations. If we went through a line that long we would be forced to run out of things to say. If that happened, Kyra would realize that she is married to a boring and useless diabetic. Surely a divorce would follow. There is no way I'm letting that happen, so the In-N-Out will have to wait until the construction cone made lines go away, for the sake of our marriage.

Instead we went to Del Taco for a shake, and while there Kyra convinced me that I wanted a hamburger. Del Taco's hamburgers are surprisingly delicious, In-N-Out might have to be careful.

In-N-Out is something that must be experienced, and playing around with the Secret Menu definitely gives it added appeal. I can't wait to try it out, but I keep telling myself that it's just a burger so I don't leave disappointed. Sometimes I find myself believing that there will be some sort of magic dust and suddenly I'll have a million dollars somehow because this place is so great. It's just a burger Brandon, a magic, million dollar burger.

Even better than that though, it's awesome to be able to have a night as exciting as going to Del Taco and still be completely happy just because Kyra is there:) She sure is lovely awesome!
