Worked 8 hours, go me! Had delish cafe rio but could go without it for a few weeks. Darrin is standing over my shoulder reading this....awkward
go away
j/k
stop blowing bubbles

Discouraged

Well I'm on day 71 of P90X and I don't feel like I have made big changes with my body. I see a little in my arms but not much else where. Bah 5 days a week you think I would see some more results! Sorry I'm boohooing I'll get over it!

My weekly feature a week late

My feature this week is on Amber Eggli aka Best Friend and Cousin!
So you may be asking how I went from Pee Wee Herman to Amber, well I just figured I would actually profile an actual person I know.
Where to start? Well Amber was born in Canada and was adopted by Wilf and Laura Blum. She and her family moved to the states when she was in Elementary(I'm not sure which grade). I do remember being severely bummed when they moved. Any who Amber is a very loving person and has always been surrounded by friends. She still has friends that she knew in elementary which is a feat. She's very creative, if you haven't checked out her other blog already you should she makes amazing things out of nowhere(Baby Jane Cards and Crafts).

Amber is one of the most reliable people in my life, which is a big blessing to me. She goes out of her way to make sure people are taken care of...Where do you hide you wings Amber? She has two beautiful kids and a awesome husband that keeps her on her toes. If you don't know Amber you really should!

My weekly feature

I got the request to do more features on people and since I can't think of anything to post lately I will do that (thanks Amber!)

Now I don't know if you remember this lovely fellow but let's learn a little about Pee Wee Herman aka Paul Reubens. When I was growing up he had a movie come out in 1985 called Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure and it was so cool because he had all these gag he would pull on people and he had this crazy house that would make him breakfast. And then of course there was his lovely bike that got stolen which he had to go find.



Pee-Wee was a funny man-child of indeterminate age who created a sarcastic enthusiasm for the popular culture of the '50s and '60s. His wardrobe consisted of a gray suit, a white short-sleeved shirt accessorized with a red clip-on bow tie, and white patent-leather loafers. He wore his jet-black hair military short with a defiant tuft in front, and he accentuated his lily-white complexion with pink cheeks and red lipstick. Reubens drew inspiration for Pee-Wee's geeky behavior from a youth he had attended summer camp with.


If you haven't heard or seen Pee Wee Herman make your life a little better and enjoy this kooky humor. I think my Mom hates him but he will have a special place in my heart.

Sweet Child of Mine

Our dear clumsy Isaiah had a run in with one of our planters on the porch. I was at school when I got these texts and calls from Darrin saying to call him and come home. When I heard he fell I was worried at first that he would need stitches again. The first time was traumatizing enough. Isaiah had a little blue goose egg on his face when I came home. But the picture you see now is what it developed into overnight. He is doing well and running around like a wild man!

All we need is to laugh...

I know it's lame that I keep quoting things from other people but I figure we need to laugh a little more and these Jack Handy Depp Thoughts do the trick for me...here are just a few of my favorites....enjoy my friends and remember to laugh!!

“When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we'd all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us. It wasn't until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear.”

“If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them.”

“You know what would make a good story? Something about a clown who make people happy, but inside he's real sad. Also, he has severe diarrhea.”

“Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth you'd probably be able to get a lot of free games.”

"I wish outer space guys would conquer the Earth and make people their pets, because I'd like to have one of those little beds with my name on it."

The month of Chuck!!!

Some how I started quoting Chuck Norris quotes at work and now I have officially dubbed January "The month of Chuck!" If you haven't heard of any here is a tidbit to the many funny things you didn't know about our dear Chuck Norris!!

Chuck Norris doesn't sleep he waits!
Chuck Norris counted to infinity ...twice!
Chuck Norris has two speeds. Walk and kill!
If you spell Chuck Norris in scrabble you win...FOREVER! (I dedicate this one to my sis) :)
Chuck Norris broke the sound barrier while riding a bike with a flat back tire and no chain!
Chuck Norris can eat just ONE Lays potato chip!

I will gladly add more as the month continues...and remember Chuck loves you. If you don't love him you'll get a roundhouse kick to the face!

Ja Ja Ja Jordans

Darrin is obsessed with Air Jordan shoes so now he is trying to carry that tradition onto Isaiah. Guess who is getting Air Jordan hightops tomorrow? I'l give you a hint it definitely isn't me. Darrin recently sold some Jordan's he had kept for 9 years a few months ago on Ebay and let's just say he made a nice little profit from it. His favorite style comes out on January 23rd so we'll see if he's one of the looney toons that goes to Footlocker at 6am. I take my other post back I'm not the only nerd in the family :)

The truth hurts

I would like you all to meet the most tactless person on the planet...me! I honestly don't think before I open my mouth. I suppose it could be entertaining at times but can't I just be cool for a couple minutes??? I am totally and forever not cool :) Feel free to pity me now in my concious state of uncoolness ...Where would one find a pocket protector? Does this mean I have to start playing Warcraft? Because I really don't want to.

English 2010 can kiss my @%@$%

One class is done tonight, the dreaded English 2010. Although there could be many reasons why I hate this class the biggest one was that because it was online there was no real explanation on any of the writings or projects we had to do. As you can imagine this greatly increased my stress levels.....ANGER RISING! Just sent in my final portfolio and am looking forward to relaxing once all the classes are finished...now I have to worry about finishing Math 1050 with a respectable grade. Wish me Luck!

Dominique's B-day Party

Last Saturday amber and I threw a New Moon birthday party for Domi and it was amazing! The food was good (nacho fountain) and the decorations turned out really well, the movie was WAY better then the first one...and of course Domi had a great time!!! Here are a couple photos of the highlights of the party.

Would you really?

So I was thinking about becoming a vampire during this New Moon craze and I decided it really wouldn't be so great. Here's why:

-You would have to watch everyone you know and love die one day

-You would drink blood.....eck!

-You would never sleep again

-You couldn't have any children naturally

And just for fun a few reasons why it would be fun:

-You would be ridiculously good-looking

-You would crazy strong and fast

-You may of may not have a mate like Edward....tee hee

Regardless I like being human but some days it would be fun to be someone different...we all think about it, don't act like you don't.

Very Blessed

Isaiah is doing great and is back to normal after his stint with the anesthesiologist! It's very strange seeing your little boy laying down in a drug induced sleep...a little freaky actually. We sat in the room with him for about 40 minutes until he woke up and was coherent enough that we could take him home. Poor little guy couldn't really move anywhere for about 5 hours because his little body was still getting over the drugs...he was like a newborn again hardly able to keep his head up and not being able to move anywhere. Now he is back to his normal destructive self and I'm proud to say that the house is a mess again :)

Pumpkin Bumpkins

We went to the pumpkin patch on Saturday the 24th but didn't actually carve our pumpkins until a week later on Halloween. We got pictures we liked from the internet and copied them the best we good. I think Darrin's turned out REALLY good and it's so easy to carve. Isaiah is obsessed with this blow up pumpkin in the neighborhood next to ours and we would have to drive by it everyday so he could look at it so I decided it would be cute for him to actually have his own Mickey Mouse pumpkin.

A night of things

A and C had a little get together Friday night, we had yummy soup and spider cake and sat around playing pirates dice and talking about nothing and everything. I had a great time being around friends and the cute kids...Thanks Amber for a great night!
