Funny

i needed to laugh, hopefully these will at least make you smile:

Flashback Friday

I saw Lindsie's post with this same 4th grade picture, and I just had to find mine!

I think the girl on the bottom right has a frown because we made her wear the extra pair of overalls I brought to school. It was an OVERALLS ONLY kind of thing. I thought my perm was so awesome.
Ninth Grade Night Dance

Was not a date dance, I don't think those girls meant for it to look that way. My braces are blinding.
Sophomore Prom

Haha I'm now seeing we look like bridesmaids. At least I got past that mutty stage!

I just realized lots of girls in these pictures are friends on my blog list!
Glad we're all much cuter these days.

Tribute to Yoshi

i received an email from my mom 20 minutes before leaving work that our cat that we've had since i was 9, hasn't eaten in 5 days. She said he would probably pass away tonight, and sadly he has. I am so much sadder than I thought I'd be. I spent those last 20 minutes at work crying my eyes out. I know my mom has been really sad too and that made me cry as well. We actually only ever called him "Kitty" and he was the most spoiled cat ever. He wont drink out of a bowl, only from the faucet. Don't ask me why I have this video. It was only taken before Thanksgiving!

We'll see you in heaven, Kitty!

New Years Eve...suuucked

Sorry to be a Pouty McPouterson but I really didn't enjoy New Years Eve this year. We spent $20 on First Night tickets (which was dumb) They had like 3 people on stage doing a hip hop/fighting INTERPRETIVE dance. You can tell they were improvising, and they thought they were being so creative. I wanted to punch them in the face. There were strollers everywhere, with crying babies because they were FREEZING. Our party of 12 wanted to leave at 11 to watch the ball drop on TV, not too big a deal, everyone was cold. It's not like we werent losing people every 2 sec.
11:57 Josh started to eat chex mix and wouldnt put any gum in! No New Years kiss!!!!!
We then watched the movie "Cloverfield" which was like a modern Godzilla in New York that has a camera style of Blair Witch project. Good computer graphics but it had a dumb ending. I just had an idea of staying up all night playing games and stuff, but all the other (single) couples were "tired". YEah right!! All single people want to do is make out!
So next year, I'm staying up all night and playing games. Who's with me??? It's bout time I start my own traditions!!!!!!

Guest post - wait..this is MY blog too!

My flag football teams took 1st place in both the 8 on 8 & the 5 on 5 leagues.
You can blame Carly for the lack of pics of me in action.




For being champions, they gave us some gross Life water and the best tasting beef jerky ever. Our last championship game Carly threatened me with my life if I didn't win her some more beef jerky.

This year I started to miss my college football days. So, I went on line, found a local flag football league and posted my availability. I decided to go with a team called Quick 6, which I believed to be the most competitive. It was a perfect fit.

The 5 on 5 league was an afterthought. Some of the guys on my 8 on 8 team invited me to come play with them on their 5 on 5 team to help rush on defense. All the bruthas played at the U in their prime (which was a looong time ago, although they don't look aged).
The championship game for this league was the more fun of the two. On defense I had 4 interceptions and we absolutely dominated the team. It was a blast.
I look forward to playing with both teams again in the spring season.

Update on the Christmas Sickness Curse

I may have somehow passed it on to my husband...

Christmas Survey

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?
Both! At Seagull Book they have a huge gift wrap collection for normally $60....for $7.99. There is probably some leftover if you live by a Seagull Book. (its a boatload of stuff that will last me years) Here is just a few of them:

2. Real tree or Artificial?
Fake!!! Real ones are too much maintenance.

3. When do you put up the tree?
This year we did it the week after Thanksgiving.

4. When do you take the tree down?
We'll see I guess!

5. Do you like eggnog?
Its ok...I like a little sip or two

6. Favorite gift received as a child?
Well I ALWAYS wanted a power wheels, but never got one. They told me I wouldn't want it when I grew up but I knew they were wrong...I still think they are fricken awesome.

7. Hardest person to buy for?
My Brother in Law, Lee....It's because he buys himself stuff all the time, so he has what he wants. So from now on I think I will gift the whole family :)

8. Easiest person to buy for?
My mom probably...

9. Do you have a nativity scene?
No...I wish!

People appreciate the personal touch ;)

One of my friend in elementary gave me a little sandwich baggy with three little marshmallows (snowman poop)

The Holiday


13. When do you start shopping for Christmas?
I always have a less stressful holiday when I start at least a month in advance, but lately, its been a couple weeks into December.

I don't believe so...

20. Angel on the tree top or a star?
We don't have anything...Josh is particular and doesn't like the way they are cheaply made these days. I agree though!


21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning?
In the morning for SURE with kids. It doesn't matter as much now, we both know what we got each other except what's in the stockings (which we'll do christmas morning)

22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year?
People who say "Oh my gosh...so and so ONLY got me THIS. How CHEAP."
I don't have any friends like that but just hearing about it makes me cringe. I'll have to admit I was like that as a young teen. I didn't understand finances. I thought my parents were holding out on me.

23. Favorite ornament theme or color?
I don't really believe in matching themes or colors. I think ANYTHING goes well together.

24. What do you want for Christmas this year?
A Flirty Apron...and at my work we had to go around and say what we wanted, so I said that, and my boss goes "um, do you cook in it?" So everyone was makin fun of me that it was somethin sexy... They didnt really believe me so they wanted to know if there was a website. It didnt help the homepage looks like this:
And I'm still hearing about it...

25. Who do I want to fill this out and post it on their blog?
Everyone.


And also, I have GOT to share my experience today with our present swap at work. If you are an OFFICE fan you will get this... We honestly played YANKEE SWAP.
It was almost like playing out the episode. I never noticed it but my boss is SO much like Michael Scott. She got two gifts stolen from her and when she opened each of those up she made a face that looked like she smelled poop or something (a $25 applebees giftcard, and a christmas decoration). On the last present she opened up it was deluxe Phase 10. She was like "What makes it so deluxe?! Game includes: Card Separator and board?" She made the brattiest face. I felt so bad for whoever brought that!!!
At the beginning of the game when I found out what we were playing, I immediately protested saying it would hurt somebodies feelings. That same boss said "Oh we play this every year nobody's feelings ever get hurt." Yeah because you're hurting the feelings! I have co-workers who read this, I don't care, I'm sure they agree with me.
But I got such an AWESOME present!!!




They are little games! AND pens!!! I LOVE IT!
I bet they'd make great stocking stuffers!...(I hear you get them at Costco)
