Parades v. Fireworks

So what is your favorite? After attending both this past weekend I have decided that I have just about had it with the parades. For the first time in Idaho Falls they did away with throwing candy! What is that about? That was the most fun of the parades! So now we just sit there in the Sun with impatient children watching politicians wave from their cheesy convertibles and bad high school bands with matching cheerleaders. UUGHH.
Fireworks still payoff... but it is still pretty rough with the small kids to wait for hours... but they enjoy it when it all goes down... or up rather. Here is one of my favorite comedians giving his opinion of just this question. I love it!

Packing/ Moving... Fun Times

As I pack up and find all of the lost remotes, I have a chance to reflect a little. It is stressful... but at the same time really nice to get things organized.
Part of me would just love to throw out everything and start from scratch (especially with all the stuff in the kitchen, seriously packing up cheap dishes is a joke. We should just get new ones!).
How many crappy toys do my children own that they never play with?

I should be used to it. We have moved 7 times in the last 10 years, but I'm not. This is a harder move than usual. I am leaving a great group of friends that have been an amazing support to me. I am moving to a new tiny town that I am not completely behind. I am taking my children away from good Friends. I just hope and pray that we can adjust. Truth is I am plain scared! I am scared for my children and for me. I am sure that there is a reason that we are moving there... I just don't know it yet.

Wish me luck!

This would be the car for Richard....IN HELL!

So here is the thing about Richard... He HATES, HATES, HATES stickers or generally anything that has properties of sticking. Most of all he hates band-aids, dirty ones that always tend to fall off in showers or around pools. They really freak him out(I know... funny thing for a doctor...), but that is neither here nor there!

I saw this car today in a parking lot, I have no doubt that the owner was out looking for the next thing that he could stick on his car. I guess everyone does have their something. At least it makes him easy to shop for!


*Quick, funny related story:
In my daughter's class a child sent in really fancy, glittery stickers... only they didn't have enough for all the kids, they were one short. So quickly my daughter chimmed in and let them know that she did not need a sticker, because her dad would make her throw it in the garbage if he caught her with it. HA! Poor girl!

A new set of Stationary

I found this little gem of a stationary web site that I just had to share. So if you go to prettybitter.com. You can see all the fun stuff that it has to offer.

For instance you can get gift tag stickers that read" Warning: May cause Homosexual Tendencies."

Or the "Man Notes" That point out that writing notes is already emasculating enough...

Or the Sentimental Cards that are laugh out loud hysterical... if you read them.

*Warning... this little stationary store is not your average Hallmark offerings. But if you dare...they will make you laugh and you may find the perfect card for that special someone.

Guns or Gas?!

So here is another reason for me to get excited about our move....

This was a headlining story today on CNN. Now this is just great. If you listen to this story you hear that everyone here just loves their guns! AWESOME!!
Yes that is right... when you buy a car from the dealership you can have your choice between gas or a semi-automatic handgun!

For the record this town is 39 miles from where we are moving.
So I guess that I am forewarned!

Case and Point!

Now I have said it before... even blogged about it... but I will say it again.
West Virginians are frightning!!! Seriously! Are you kidding?! You have to see this!


So am I crazy?!?!

Who is it?

This photo is of a couple of boys I saw while hanging out with the family at the park. Can you guess who I thought of? *Disclaimer... The first photo is stalker like... so the quality is not so good.


For the second photo, we literally chased them down and I said,
"Do you know who you remind me of?"

Boys: "Uh, Rob and Big."

Me: "Totally!!! Can I take your photo?"

So they agreed and were pretty excited. I love Rob and Big... It's nice to see that the stereotype of skinny white skater with big black guy is alive and well.
