Happy 4th!

Hi all! Happy Fourth of July! Be safe. Be sane. Be real. Yo.

The weather looks good here today. Much better than yesterday. In fact, the clouds were so dark, and the rain so strangely heavy, it drove my 6 year-old daughter to inquire, “Mom. Was yesterday the last day of summer?” It’s nice that it appears Summer came back to us… granted, much cooler than other places, but for me - 70 degrees is perfect… perfect.

Enjoy the long weekend!

Oh my gosh, friends! I totally forgot to tell you what happened yesterday. I was at the gym, pumpin’ iron-n-such. I had a brief conversation with a gal who is clearly cooler and more important than me.

Well folks. It’s that time of the month again… Out of 345 search keyphrases, here are the most interesting 42ish. I was only going to list, like… 10. But I didn’t. I listed 42ish. I know. I’m crazy. So here they are! The select 42 search keyphrases that brought inquiring minds to my little home in cyberspace… (note: I left out the nasty stuff, cuzza I’m not a huge fan of “nasty” and I don’t want them coming around here again…):

I taught Sunday school

the other day… To the 2-4 year old class. There were 10 of Them. Ten. My chest hurts thinking about it.

I got my degree in Social Studies. I received a teaching credential to teach at the secondary level. I actually taught high school for a whole year. I decided to teach youth because I was afraid of little people. I was afraid of - Yard. Duty. If I wanted to be a bouncer, I’d have worked at a bar.

You know what I think? I think pubescent lunacy is tame compared to… to… Preschoolers. In. Sunday. School. I’m quivering.

How the hockey sticks does classroom management work in Sunday School? Can you give a detention to a 2 year old in Sunday School? Not so mauch. Where’s the principal? Back up! I need back up!

You are Smarty Smartersons! It is NYC!!! I made this little game of “Where in the world?” VERY hard! Good thinking! I am so proud of you! ***patting your back***

Nosie’s New Look

Well. Nosie and I had a little “falling out” this morning. Literally. Either I blew my nose too hard, or I slapped Nosie silly while I blew my nose too hard… In any case, my nose stud Totally. Came. Out.

I didn’t even feel it, until I didn’t feel “it” - my nose stud. 

I found Miss Stud and tried with all my might to put her back. Not so much. I called The Blozulfog. She was all, “OK, stick it in as far as you can and put your thumb up your nose to feel it come through.” In my mind, I was all - how on earth do I get my thumb up my nose like that???!!!

Blood.

Drats. Continue reading ‘Nosie’s New Look’

Broke it.

Not my ankle.

Not my arm.

Not my clavicle…

But the “2 hour wall”!!!

Today, my friend Katie and I ran the North Olympic Discovery Half-Marathon. Our training has been less than ideal as far as speed-training goes. Some may use the phrase “not at all”… So the thought of finishing in under two hours (which is actually not all that fast when one considers how fast summa these people go, but it’s fast for me!) was just that - a thought. Plus, I did not eat very well yesterday… Continue reading ‘Broke it.’

Make Me Laugh Monday - Nosie’s Best Friend

 In case you haven’t met “Nosie” - go here to get acquainted. It has been a busy great number of weeks since Nosie was born… The story of her inception is long overdue, but I promise it is well worth the wait. Until I am able to creatively put together her story, I would like for everyone to meet her best friend… She lives on the nose of Lisa over at The Blozulfog. While Nosie has been to many wonderful and exciting places, her best friend has been busy experimenting with her “look”, thanks to her good friend Dave, and his nose-ring replacement skillz…

This one is my fave:

Aw heck - I love ‘em all:

Bling, bling! And there she is, Nosie’s best friend… on the lovely face of my friend Lisa - a.k.a. my “Sista’ from anotha’ mista!”

I have done so many new and exciting things

since I got this nose ring. Really.

The first place my nose (Nosie) and I visited was the very exciting Land of Polka Dots!

Then we went to a theme park and I nearly lost my lunch on a roller coaster.

This is scarier than getting a nose pierced!

I. Am. Ridiculous.

Being the all-american girl that I am - I just HAD to take Nosie to visit Yosemite!

Look, Nosie, look! It’s a horse!

I’ve always wanted to visit the Eiffel Tower. Nosie thought it was a very romantic place.

Oh… this was precious - Nosie’s’ first sunset pierced. Awww…

Oh Nosie, look! There is a whole other world under the sea!

It’s an angel! And her nose is pierced too!

Yes, I have lost my mind. It’s so fun to watch someone lose one’s mind…
