Everyone's a hero in their own way

I've been busily experimenting in the kitchen.

I made Oatmeal M&M cookies. Always a good choice.

One night I baked teriyaki tofu and put in on rice. 

Yum.

I also tried Miso Soup somewhere between that one and the next one.

It did not turn out well. 

The picture is deceiving, so I will not be sharing it with you.

Then, last night Nadine and I made teriyaki noodles.

I will be making this in the future. Nadine and I were very happy with it.

Oh, and we had to have dessert...

I also went to Eclipse with my aunt Tuesday night. I don't think I'd ever experienced so much dorkiness over a movie. We had to go searching (unfortunately unsuccessfully because I thought of the right store too late) for an Eclipse shirt and fangs so she could wear them to the premiere. I expected that of Darcy, and other people my age, but I went with a group of teachers. Love it.

...then I turned around and went to the Avatar premiere last night.

...Needless to say, I surpassed my aunt's dorkiness. Easily. With paint.

If only the movie was as awesome as we were.

Newest piece of trivia I have found out through a tattoo blog I follow on tumblr: 

Oregon's state motto is

 "She flies with her own wings."

I just fell in love with Oregon a tiny bit.
