Weekly Wisecrack #9

Hahaha, okay, I'm really sorry to do this to you guys. Okay, I'm not that sorry. But a lot of the quotes that I heard this week that really made me laugh are, um, not appropriate for this blog. So this is the dealio. I'm going to tell one of the stories in vague terms and leave the rest to your imagination....(warning, you might have to use A LOT of imagination, but don't get all dirty, it wasn't THAT kind of inappropriate.)

So I said to someone, "Someone told me such and such and it made me fell this one way."

And they said, "That's because they are so's and so's and you should probably do this one thing."

And I laughed. So imaginations of my blog readers, have at it!!

That was mean of me to do, huh. Just trust that it was really funny, maybe slightly harsh, but well meant and actually cheered me up quite a bit :)

My Nails are Drying

There are not many activities I can participate in the hour after I paint my nails. But typing is one of the few I can! I'm so multi-talented. Yay. So I'm blogging in honor of my nails drying. As such, this blog will be the unimportant ramblings of my brain thoughts. Also I might include some funny memes and photos that I enjoy. Just for the smell of it. They shall be randomly inserted with no method to the madness.

Exhibit A

AWWWWWWHAHAHAAWWW

One day when I get married, there is something my future hubby will have to be SUUUUUUUUper patient about. Assuming he's a sports fan, because let's face it, male-non-sports-fans are rare. This being some sort of sports play-off season, I'm pretty sure it's baseball, I've only asked like 12 times.....makes me realize I have what some might consider a major flaw. I don't like to watch any sport except basketball. Before anyone gets mad at me for saying this, hold up. I do enjoy watching some sports live, especially when someone I know is playing. I attended both my brothers' football games quite faithfully as well as Sidney's soccer games and at one particular game Dwight was playing, my cousins and I got the crowd to cheer louder than they ever had. We were that awesome. This is my flaw though. And it may even be a deal breaker for some. But there have been times watching certain games on TV that I would have rather shaved my eyebrows with a cheese grater. Now, I do like olympics, they are sweet. But saying you like sports because you like the olympics is like saying you like music because of Justin Bieber. No offense, J Beebs. I was a music major. I still close my eyes and flinch if a ball comes flying in my general direction.

CHYA! I remember, I still flinch when my dad asks for
his thongs. Okay, but I flinch for a different reason now.
(and my dad didn't spank us with sandals, that was my
uncle, more as a joke than anything)

On another note, there are some facebook stati that I never want to put up. I've compiled a list, I will share. The list is entitled.......

Slap me before I ever post any of the following as my status on facebook. (it should probably be entitled "I have too much free time")

1. Love song Lyrics.

2. Any statement ending in FML

3. Anything political that others might want to argue with

4. A vague cry for help/comfort such as “I can’t believe this happened” or “I wish I knew what to do”…

5. The phrase “what up,…” followed by the name of the awesome city I am in that I want everyone to know about.

6. The words “Tee Hee”

7. A mysterious statement about a person, especially something sounding remotely romantic, such as,... “I wish he knew how I felt...”

Disclaimer; any of the above phrases can be used in the event of a comical or ironic opportunity presenting itself.

This one I love because it reminds me that no matter
how bad things get, they can always get funnier.

Welp, nails are dry!!

Peace and blessings!!!

Weekly Wisecrack #8

This week was a weird week. It had it's really good points, but it also had those moments....you know, THOSE moments. But I want this blog to always be positive. So, I will give you some wisecracks ;)

1) K, first one comes from none other than Kimmy. Now, Kimmy likes to test my friendship to her by asking if she had a certain strange quirk or physical deformity, would I still be her friend. My honest answer is usually, I would hope so, but I don't know. This weeks' test was a real winner and again, I had to tell her, I honestly don't know.

She asked, as she cupped her hands around her eyes, "If I had to wear blinders in order to pay attention to you, would you still be my friend?" I really hope I would Kimmy, I hope I'm not that judgmental, I would hope I could look beyond a drooping left eye or strange dance moves or a severe speech impediment, and see the awesome person within, but I honestly don't know, haha.

2) Second came from Dwight. This morning our family was all gathered 'round to watch conference. President Monson announced that the new age limit for boys to serve full-time LDS missions would be moved to 18, considering they have their bishops' approval. My little bro just turned 18 not that long ago, and Dwight pipes up with, "Wow, Gabe really WILL get married before me!!"

Ummmmm,....Random?

Now, things I liked about this week. Exploring all Wal Mart's many wonders with Kimmy for about 2 hours and NOT buying ONE THING. Yeah, I had that much self control, I'm bragging about it.

Tuesday night, President Perry's lesson on keeping everything in proper balance. Social Life, Spirituality, Physical Fitness, and Knowledge are the four areas we always need to keep in proper balance to have optimal happiness. I really needed to hear this. My life flops from one area to the next, I feel I'm always out of balance, and I needed it put in these terms to wrap my brain around it all.

Many other great things happened as well, but to keep this short, Friday night I actually had a one on one guitar lesson for the first time with Ryan Stucki and I finally feel like with his help, I will get this whole guitar thing! Also, Justin Stucki and I baked a cake that.....is special :) that's all I will say about cake.

Oh yeah! And last week was Gabe's b-day, and his buddy Brennan came over early before Gabe was up and ran and jumped on him. And Gabe and I had a grape eating contest to see how many grapes we could shove in our mouth. It was a spontaneous and isolated event, we just had mouths and a bowl of grapes and therefore....

Gabe's b-day, his first bunny kill, him with 30 grapes in his mouth, him and Brennan, Justin with our special cake, Annie:)

Today was the first day of GC. (general conference, call it GC if you wanna feel SUPER cool.) you know, I loved many of the talks, but my recollection of who said what is so fuzzy, I will have to do some major review. But what did I like about most?? My whole family was in the same room. That rarely happens these days. We even all ate a meal together. Thank you conference for bringing us together on a Saturday. You know, I am tearing up a little as I write this. Sometimes Heavenly Father lets you go through things that bring you down a notch or two. Make you feel you really aren't as awesome as you thought, make you really stop to think about life. These things help me remember most what I need, what I'm blessed with, and how much love I really have in my life.

Peace and Blessings :D

Gabriel always cracks me up, I'd have to record all his comments and our conversations for you all to fully understand how funny this kid is. But here is just one quote from him that stands alone.

I picked him up from school one day and he randomly pipes up with, "If you think about it, Rudolph is the ginger of reindeer."

Gabe IS a ginger, so it's okay for him to use that term. As we discussed it in more detail, we realized that at first Rudolph had no friends, he has a red nose, he just doesn't fit in. All the characteristics of your stereotypical ginger. Now I don't really go for all that ginger stuff, just so you all know. I have NO IDEA how that all started, but I love my little red head brother :)

The next quote from this week comes from my little 8 year-old student, Zoe. She comes into her lesson this week all worked up and says, "My dad is really sick, he has ROCKS in his gal bladder!!! I don't think he ate rocks though..." It was all I could do to not rudely laugh and I politely asked her if they were gal stones and she said yes. It's the little things like this that make me glad I work with little kids :)
