A DEATH IN THE FAMILY...

We are gathered here together today

to celebrate the life, 

and mourn the passing of

SHAQUIRA, 

THE BLACK MYSTERY

i wrote a little something in her honor;

Oh truckie oh truckie,

you always got us were we needed to go.

you always towed what we needed to tow.

you never failed us in anyway,

and never led us astray.

although you've gone on to an unknown place,

and there's a new car in your parking space,

the memories of you will never slip our minds

i only hope your new owner is kind

so let me wipe a tear from my eye

and i'll stand here and wave good bye

one day, shaquira, we'll meet again.

until then, so long my friend.

Addictive Personality

so- i have an addictive personality.
if i do something and like it, i want it more and more and add a little something new every time.

just to name a few....

pete's fish and chips

dr. pepper

chase

ned's krazy sub

and last but not least...

cutting my hair

yeah. short hair is addictive. didn't you know? well good thing you read my blog and became informed. cause this addictive action is becoming a problem. especially with your truly.

this is what i have had on my mind lately. 

(i would say "swooning over" but everyone and their dog says that, and i find it quite annoying actually)

i like long hair.

 i really do. 

i wish i had long hair. 

but the fact is, 

i don't.

 and i have zero patience.  

so.....

I NEED YOUR HELP!

it's a little extreme. and i think i've only come close to having my hair that short ever before.

should i take the jump!?

yea or nay?

a little surprise....

i am a nanny. 

and as little perks to my job, i get to wake up 5 minutes before i have to LEAVE, 

slap on some clothes, and go to work.

then later on, 

i can come back home with the children, 

put on a movie 

while i take a shower 

and they destroy my house.

that is exactly what happened today. 

except when i opened the shower curtain this afternoon,

this is what i saw.

i knew it was almost her nap time.

but i didn't think she was that tired! 

and i know what you're thinking...

i am a horrible nanny for letting her lie on the nasty bathroom floor 

while i laugh and take pictures!

well- i JUST mopped those floors (although it might not look like it)

and i had to capture this rare and precious moment!
(but mostly it was really really funny)

but yeah, you're right.

i probably am a horrible nanny.

Quick Question...

Have you ever popped a button on your pants (for whatever reason...) and used a zip-tie to fix it?

I HAVE.

(can you say Tietjen Noodle!?)

Have you ever Become so obsessed with making headbands?

I HAVE.

Have you ever gone on a double date just to do ear candles?

I HAVE.

Have you ever forgot a dish with food in it and your kitchen was smelling super rank and you couldn't figure out what it was and then you remembered there was still food in that Crock Pot from two weeks ago and when you went to open it it smelled like a mixture of poop and throw up and it made you gag so bad that you had to find the nearest thing to tie around your mouth/nose area, (that happened to be the pink Richards' Shirt), to shield you from the nastiness and from throwing up in the sink while you washed it and your husband was in the corner almost throwing up and spraying the entire can of air freshener ?

I HAVE.

I am so in love...

With this.



...story of my life.

This is our post-marriage song.

Dinner Games.

So, after work yesterday Chasey Face and I went to run some of our long list of errands.

First on the list was to get all our textbooks for the upcoming semester

that actually started 3 days ago.

So, after spending our life's savings on books we will probably hardly use

(most of them used of course...),

we were hungry.

We both love us some good Chipotle- so Chipotle it was!

I love to eat. AND I love to play games.

so why not do both at once!

(i know-smart.)

Chase and I play this game called

"guess what person in Chipotle drives what car parked outside Chipotle"

The name is part instructions to the game.

Then we sit and watch as each person finishes up eating and

walks to their automobile of choice.

It takes quite the skill and you would be surprised who-drives-what most the time.

Regardless of what you may think- I usually win. :)

We also might throw in another game if we are feeling crazy called

"guess the occupations of the people eating inside chipotle"

Again with the two in one name/game instructions.

I usually win this one too.

Even though we never really know who wins

because we don't exactly follow anyone to their job.

(I want to, but Chase said its probably not a good idea.)

But i just have a gut feeling- I'm usually always right.

Plus- Chase always thinks everyone lives at home with their mom.

That's his answer 99% of the time. I'm serious.

What games do YOU play when you eat!?

Please do share!

oh boy.... hahahahhahahahahahah

Chase emailed this to me today.....
