I didn’t write a post last night because things were going wrong in the evening, and I just sat down and poured the whole stupid story out to this computer and then it freaked out and lost everything! I’m not typing it all again, all FOUR paragraphs of it. You’ll just have to guess what this picture is about, and maybe when I’m calm – I’ll explain.

What the heck am I going to say?
I had such excitement about the earlier posts in the week – now I’ve got nothing. I’ve been sewing some dancing scarves for school, but they’re turning out badly. I ran to Lincoln to buy some lumber for a project at school, but that will only be cool to show in the ‘after’. We had leftover chili tonight, but you’ve seen that. I still love my thermos, but realize that nobody else does. So, here’s a picture of my wedding ring spinning. I’m great at spinning rings. Quarters, too – heck, coins of all sizes. It’s a hidden talent. What’s a ho-hum hidden talent of yours? One that you could do in a restaurant while waiting for food, perhaps? Or not. whatever.
Chili con wronge
There’s a right way and a wrong way to eat chili. Actually, there are several wrong ways – like not putting anything on it. That would be crazy! Around here, you need a bowl containing: chili, Frito’s, shredded cheese, black olives, and sour cream. I think the Frito’s should be on top, so they stay crunchy. Lloyd puts them on the bottom, like an insane person. How do you take your chili?
It’s not a healthy dinner, but it’s goooood.
I’m picking out a thermos for you…
I’ve been looking at thermoses (thermi?) for about a year now. I bought one last Christmas from Target that’s pretty cute, but small. Off and on I’d browse the thermos aisles in stores, checking thrift stores, generally being pitiful. (Brad actually witnessed the ‘put it down’ thing when I found one at T.J. Maxx this summer. I’m sure he has no memory of it. It was a light blue & green plaid beauty. My heart skipped a beat.)
Anyway, on Sunday I bought a thermos that has brought me nothing but joy! It’s as if someone looked into my mind and thought, “How can we make a thermos irresistibly gadgety?” Oh man oh man. It has a carry bag, a LARGE cap that becomes a travel mug, and when you look at it you think, “Yeah, but I’d want a lid for that so I don’t slop stuff on me.” Well, guess what? You unzip the bottom of the bag, unscrew the bottom of the thermos, and there’s a sippy lid tucked right inside!! Plus, it was cheap – ten bucks! I love this thermos so much. I wish a doctor would put me on a liquid diet so I’d have to take it everywhere.
Happy Day!
Sorry for the site being down yesterday. We ran out of gigabytes or something. All’s well now. On to the post!
October 16, 2006. Yes, it was one year ago today that we became so jealous of Brad’s cool site that I demanded one of our own. It’s been a whole year filled with lots of silly pictures and snippets of our lives. We thought about how we could best thank you, our loyal handful of readers, but it was too late to order t-shirts, pencils, or mousepads. We’ve been through sicknesses, varied haircuts, a wedding, a birth, hallos and goodbyes, and it’s been fun. We wouldn’t have nearly as much fun without you, so – thanks!
To celebrate this momentous occasion, I’ve put together some pictures from the past twelve months. They are in no particular order, and for some reason everything we put on youtube turns out blurry. Whatcha gonna do?
Thanks for playing, guys!
You mean the year, right?
I went ahead and bought new blush. Annette was with me, and as we walked up to the counter she said, “You know how much this is going to cost, right?” I said, “Yeah, around fifteen dollars.” Sure, that’s a lot for make-up, but if we’re going with past experience, this thing should last until I’m fifty. I checked to make sure they had the color, then asked the glamorous sales lady (not looking in her eyes, of course), “Can I get a fig blusher?” I don’t know if you’re supposed to call it blush or blusher, but ‘blusher’ came out. D’oh! She rang it up, then said, “That’ll be $19.80.” Holy crikey.
