Lately I’m thinking…

Joey that’s great news about the Christmas party this year – i’m looking forward to another strong 5th place finish like i had last year in the 40 oz bag decoration competition……NOT, i’m going to frickin knock it out of the park this year. I’m settling for nothing less than gold. Or at least some free Mr. Boston rum

This is really interesting…

So today Steph was vacuuming the upstairs, which for those of you who haven’t seen it is basically like a modern day shag carpet. Only she had the vacuum setting on ‘bare floor’ which is on the opposite end of ‘high carpet’. When i pointed that out she said she liked that better because it cleaned it better. I was dying watching her do it because she could barely push/pull it across the carpet. It looked like she was shoveling gravel or really wet snow or something

Lately I’m thinking…

Okay so this might sound kind of stupid, but i’m BLOWN AWAY on how kids learn to talk. I mean think about it, you’re 1 and can’t say a word, then you’re 2 or something and you’re talking to people! Like asking and answering questions! Answering! And generally with the correct words! It’s not like some kid says “bike I couch pookie mom” when they’re really trying to say “can I have a glass of milk”. (sorry for all the exclamations, but it’s crazy)

Lately I’m thinking…

Hey there – I just realized today is Wednesday, and not Thursday. Rats. I think it was Joe’s 10 status that might have got me off on the wrong foot

Shout out to…

Everyone who sent us a Christmas card. Getting the mail is usually pretty boring, but yesterday we had 7 cards in the mail! Mitch, that’s a great picture of snowflake. Skeelodge and Molly, Seeley thanks you for including her name. IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS

Currently watching…

Holzer, I saw “The U” 30 for 30 show last night. It mostly consisted of them all saying “the reason why we were so cocky is because we were better than everyone else, and we were”, which basically just translates into “we’re still just super cocky”. My favorite part is when they all insisted they would have even more championships if they would have just won a couple more games. Anyways, there were seriously no rules, a miami guy would tackle somebody, start slapping him, push him back down, then run into the stands and eat some popcorn and it didn’t appear anything would happen.

I was waiting to cross the street today and a man came up to me and asked if I had a lighter. I replied with a no, even though unlike numerous people around the block i was blatantly not smoking. He then asked for a dollar, to which I said “no, sorry”. He then replied “Well there’s an ATM right in there”. whoa whoa whoa buddy, so since i don’t have a lighter you want me to go to the 20 dollar bill dispensing machine and get you some money? The only small increments those things deal with are the 2.00 ATM fees they hand out. I mean, i would have had to charge that guy money to use one, and judging by the way the conversation was going that wasn’t an option.

Shout out to…

Miss McRae for the Christmas stockings! In order from left to right we have mine, Seeley’s (yes, she is a dog, thank you), and Steph’s. Oh also keep in mind that they’re hanging on our loft railing…yes they’re gigantic. Santa could give me a recliner for Christmas (cross your fingers!) and there’ a good chance it would fit in my stocking. fun fact: Miss McRae loves her some Costco

Just about every update on my “facebook feed” involves someone talking about how cold it is, and rightly so. And I know everything is relative to where you grow up, and I’m freezing my little tush off too every time I walk somewhere for lunch or wait for the bus, but holy smokes look at some of these temps (compared to the current 33 in Seattle). The HIGH today is bozeman is -5 degrees. It’s been -15 in Seeley Lake the last 4 hours with an expected high of “0” (wow they have a long way to go, probably not gonna make it). The most it’s supposed to change in billings from the middle of the night to the middle of the day is apparenty 5 degrees, as the high is -3 and the low is -8. Brrrrr! On a side note, you’ve got to love the sun and the views in Seattle

This is really interesting…

Last night at Jaks Steph ordered Halibut stuffed with crab – it was one of the best seafood dish I’ve ever tasted.

Shout out to…

All the women, who independent…….throw your hands up at me

The Soapbox:

“Hey! I tell you what I’m gonna give you, Snakes. I’m gonna give you to the count of 10 to get your ugly, yellow, no-good keister off my property before I pump your guts full of lead! One, two, ten!”

We got the Christmas tree up last night! Looks like I accidentally strung lights up on stephanie too – wow, nice pajamas. I’d say this picture was actually taken a little premature of the jump we were going for. Click here to see someone else pretty darn excited about Christmas

This is really interesting…

Speaking of Steph, we were playing apples to apples at her house over the weekend and the green card was “delightful”. Steph was the one picking that round, and discarded “boyfriend” first as the worst card. Wow, talk about a slap in the face. By the end of the game I felt better though, it turns out she’s just really bad at picking winning cards. Next time around she chose the “ozone layer” as the winner over “michael jackson” for “fake”. Everyone around the table just got up and left.

Heather is currently with my Aunt Donna in Texas, who I got a call from at 5:30 AM this morning!! Apparently they forgot the west coast is 2 hours behind? I mean even without that knowledge bomb it was too early, I don’t get up until 7:45 – 8:00. What makes it even more confusing is my ring is the same sound as my alarm, so I thought I had to get up and start my day in the middle of the night. And to top it all off, when i checked the voicemail at lunch, this is what it said (to song, with heather laughing in the background): “Good morning, good morning, how are you, this morning? Good morning, good morning, to you”. Simply Stunning

Lately I’m thinking…

I’m going to go off on “Uggs” for a minute, i feel like i’ve been holding it in and need to get it out. See the soapbox for more

The Soapbox:

I don’t know a single guy who likes Uggs. I don’t even know someone who knows someone who knows a guy who likes Uggs. They’re slippers, plain and simple, and somehow girls get away with wearing them out everywhere. I mean I don’t care if you wear slippers out, but don’t wear slippers out and pretend along with every other girl in the world that they’re fashionable and not actually ‘slippers’. You look silly. This weekend steph told me “Uggs came back”. Uhhhh A) they were never here so B) they never left, which means C) They never came back. She also claimed one day that girls just dress for other girls so that’s why they don’t care if guys don’t like Uggs. does that mean girls in the bars wore low tops for other girls? nope. Ugghhhs. Yep, i feel better. CATS!

Check out this giant inflatable balloon with Santa in it. I made steph get in the picture as a reference for how big it is. After I took the picture Steph casually mentioned “there’s a zero percent chance you can get that and put it up in the yard”. It’s not going in our yard steph, it’s going in our living room

The latest “40 yard dash” by Pat Forde on espn.com. He hands out some midseason awards which includes a nonimation of washington as most dramatic team of the year. By far the best part about the article is him choosing university of montana coach bobby hauck as “Bum” of the half year. classic

Steph and I went to napa autoparts yesterday because both brake lights are out in the ol’ liberty. As we were outside examinng the brake lights trying to figure out how on earth we were going to get them off, a couple of employees were working on other cars right next to us, but didn’t offer to help. After trying to read the owners manual for about 5 minutes we decided to just go in and ask. Well apparently we spent too long trying to figure out what the heck was going on….because it had closed 4 minutes earlier.

This is really interesting…

Dominos (btw i haven’t ordered it since college i don’t think, but i might soon) has a deal where one large pizza and “cinna-sticks” are 6 dollars. As a disclaimer they say “limit of 256 per household”. A) where on eath did they come up with that number 2. the pizzas wouldn’t seem very cheap if you spent over $1500 dollars for it C) this would be a great opportunity for maddie and i to try our pizza delivery boat service!

The Soapbox:

well at least i didn’t use a spoon
