Awkward

I was watching Criminal Minds this evening and before the show came back from a commercial break, I witnessed this commercial. I didn't quite know how to feel about it. First off, I get the importance of reminding adults that having a colonoscopy once they reach a certain age but his last comment? Are you kidding me? I felt the crickets chirping. Or I needed Nicole to say "And then I won $20".

Yikes, there are two!

Or the Christmas gift for a woman?

I will have to put this on my list for Christmas, Birthdays and Anniversaries going forward.

Happy 42nd Anniversary!

Being it's The Darcinator and Sue's 42nd Anniversary, I have to give them a shout out!

42nd Wedding Anniversary
by Earlene and Ron Gough

My husband and I have been married 42 years.

We met in high school, dated, and 'went steady'. He was the football guy and I was the 'songleader' (somewhat like a cheerleader but with songs).

We married while he was in the Army, and I had just finished nurses training.

Now that's like everyone else's story. Right.....ok, beat this.....what did we do for our 42nd anniversary?

We filed for Social Security together. When we told the staff what day it was, there were many tears and lots of well wishes. From High School to Social Security.....not too shabby."

 ****Hope you kids have a great Anniversary and I wish you many more years together!!

Jana did send me your prom photo:

Exhaustion

Title says it all for today.

What is a weekend really?!

Another weekend in the books. The last weekend of April. I can't believe how fast this year is going. It seems like only yesterday it was Christmas and we had piles of snow on the ground that we thought would never go away. Now flowers are up, the grass is green and thunderstorms are in our forecast! We have had quite a bit of rain but I'd rather have that then snow. I think most everyone would agree with me on that note. This weekend has, as usual, flown by in a blink of an eye.

Friday we were suppose to go watch my dad play at Church. He got an awesome opportunity. It started at 7. Michael has been working OT all week. He was suppose to get home at 5:30. This turned into 6, which changed to 6:30 and at 7:15, we walked in the door. I felt horrible. I had called my mom prior and told her we probably couldn't get there. Jake was not in a mood that I would want to cart him anywhere. I have a theory that men PMS just like women. I think Jake had a PMS weekend. It's been an adventure. After feeling horrible for a while, we finally ate dinner and around 8ish we watched Avatar. I am sort of thankful I did not see it in theaters. I believe I would have been sick with it in 3D. It still was a pretty good movie. I would watch it again. It's pretty fascinating seeing how the created everything. No wonder it took 10 years. We were up late enough to watch some awesome lightning and hear a pretty great storm!

Saturday the rain continued! Jake was still not having it. With anything. He hated everything, didn't like food, and was just a poopy pants! We headed down to Ottumwa to see David. It was a good trip. We went out for lunch and went for a walk. We went to his church and met a few people. We then headed to Pella. We picked a great weekend for it. The flowers were blooming and just gorgeous. I hope they fly more in or something because I don't know how they will last another 2 weeks. We walked around for a few hours. It was fun! Plus we got caught in the rain so Jake danced around in it and had a blast! We of course had to stop Jaarsma to spend a heft amount of money! We were having a girls night so I picked up a sampler of a few things. Michael of course had to get his 8 Dutch Letters that wil be consumed before Monday is over! We then headed home! It was a great day with Uncle David! That night I went to Beth's house for pizza and a Lifetime movie girls night in! Haha. The movie never happened but we all had a good talk! I enjoy the talks more than the movies! Ellen and I didn't end up leaving till about 11:45. Yikes.

Today has been a very lazy Sunday. Michael had to work from 7-11. I was fortunate to have a very tired child from the previous day and got to sleep in till 9. I woke up a few times to a howling Hawkeye that cries when Michael leaves. So annoying. After Michael got home from work, we went grocery shopping and then did nothing. I mean, laundry and all that, but nothing else. We were all just exhausted! Have another full week/weekend ahead. Wedding season is kicking off on Saturday and we have a baseball game on Friday! Hoping to squeeze a few more things on in later this week too. Now we are just relaxing while Michael watches Armageddon for the 100th time while eating our Dairy Queen treats! Hey, get one blizzard, get another for $0.25. Good deal! Count me in!

On a side not, I got a letter from the court on Saturday. I WAS DISQUALIFIED FOR JURY DUTY!! Ha! I did a happy dance and shredded that piece of paper and my juror information. Until the next round court system!

Here are a few photos from this weekend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let the drooling and screeching begin!

They released the official trailer today. I will not lie, I was all over it on my cell phone at work. I pulled up Youtube and ran to Derrick's desk. The picture was small but still had a squeal come out! I got home around 4:30 and turned on Oprah. I normally am an Ellen fan but I had to watch it today. So worth it. Seeing it in HD on a 42" screen, was amazing! It looks amazing and I can't wait for the huge fight scene! It looks fantastic in the trailer! I am extremely pumped right now!! Too bad it's still a little over 2 months away.

Hault

The month of March we got so much done! Painted the hallways, bathrooms, tiled one bathroom and got the flooring in. Ask me what we have done this month. N O T H I N G! Seriously, nothing. Not a single paint brush has been lifted. No tile has been cut. We haven't done a thing. Michael has been so busy with work and finishing Chad's house that we haven't done a single thing. I'm sorry, I may have earned my butch badge on a few things, but I am not tiling. I will mess that up way too much. I am not OCD enough to take that on. The garge, well, that is definately a 2 person job. I went through as much of it as I could but Michael likes to keep stuff, where I don't. Even though we want to have another child, someday, we don't need to keep everything. We didn't use half the stuff we had for Jake when he was a peanut! I just have a rule, if we haven't used it for 3 years, we don't need. If it's been 5 years, it automatically gets thrown out unless it has a sentiment. This was the month we wanted to have it all done and ready to go. Not going to happen. The weekends don't help either. We are never home. Even when we don't have plans, new things come up. I enjoy our activities we have but it gets us no where at home! Oh well. We might hold off for a little bit. I have no clue what is going on and I am almost to the point, where I just don't care! I want to snap my fingers and have it done!


I also got a letter about being a juror. WHAT?! No freaking way! This is not my thing! First off, I live in Dallas county and this was for Polk county. What in the world?! Second, I don't want to waste my time on a jury. I can honestly say, I would suck. Sorry if this offends anyone but courts, politics, all that jazz, not my cup of tea. Not a fan of talking about it at all. We will see how this goes. I have my fingers crossed that I am not selected. If I am, I will have to make the most of it!

For Jana

This is a marathon we need!!
