Shout out to…

Britt Butt Hesse on her Birthday! Here’s a picture of Britt when she was part of the 4 to 1 girl to guy ratio…or at least something close to that. One day Britt gave me gummy bears that were actually vitamins and changed me life. Happy Birthday, next time I see you I’m going to tackle you.

This video of some wrestlers who got what they asked for I suppose

Lately I’m thinking…

I don’t think I’m going to buy songs of iTunes from my phone anymore. Usually I already have the song, it’s just not synced to my phone, and for some reason I’ll feel like I need to listen to some “j-sean” (j-mom) song right then and buy it a second time. Then I just have some random song twice. Or what happened today when I wanted a Whitney Houston song as a potential addition to Britt’s Mix 2010, and then once I bought it and played it realized it was some remix, and now I have no need for it. The last thing Britt’s Mix needs is a bass thumping crappy techno remix to a classic 80s song. Anyways, I might want to “dance with somebody” this 4th of July at the Filling Station

This is really interesting…

There were some classic Hansbrough shots of him in the crowd last night – judging by his face it was actually hard to tell if A) He was in the stands watching his team lose B) In the stands watching his team win C) Just told he was adopted or D) thinking about trying to breathe out of his nose next year

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)

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.

This is really interesting…

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.

I was at Walgreens the other day and saw that they are selling snuggies for DOGS! Isn’t that completely ridiculous? I mean honestly, it’s a dog, if you’re one of those people that wants to put a snuggie on them, just put the one you already own on them, obviously….

Currently reading…

I tried coming up with a list of my top 10 favorite bars – click here to see it. I wanted to add a little bit more to it as well as some more pictures (especially at bleachers) but it was just taking too long. Also, if you’re confused why on earth I need a “blog” category on my blog, click the “welcome” link at the top of the blog for a little background

Lately I’m thinking…

Holzer, let’s discuss the locker situation some more over a delicious wheat beer from the brew pub – see the soapbox for some of my thoughts though (here’s an article link as well)

Lately I’m thinking…

“Is this tootbrush approved by the american dental association?”

The Soapbox:

Locker was predicted by mcshay as the #1 overall pick, but that was far from a guarantee. I think it’s safe to say he would have been in the top 10 though. And although the labor agreement is expiring, there really is no guarantee that the wages are going to drop that much for rookies. Sarkisian said agents/draft guys told both carson palmer and matt leinert to come out early because pay would change for the worse the next year. Also, for QBs the big paycheck is the 2nd one, not the first, and the percentages of qbs coming out their junior year are much worse than seniors (and i feel especially with locker who everyone agrees isn’t polished yet). He’s also turned down two big baseball contracts before, so money doesn’t seem to be the issue. There’s obviously arguments both for leaving and staying, but I think it came down to him just wanting to play college football one more year, especially after they seemed to figure out how to best use him the last two games, and i’m excited!

Shout out to…

Mr. Jake Locker! Wow, quite the sports news day in Seattle – first Todd McShay at ESPN predicted locker as the #1 overall pick in the NFL draft, then Locker announced he’s returning to UW next year. Then about 5 minutes ago it was just reported the Mariners are getting Cliff Lee from the Phillies. I’m convinced that the Phillies should have pitched him every game against the yankees in the world series regarldess of rest and they would have won

Lately I’m thinking…

Pretty darn fun weekend – we did karaoke on Friday night which I’ll hopefully have pictures of later. We basically just rented out a private room at this karaoke place that has all the equipment in it, and with a banquet permit you just bring your own alcohol and start singing, it was great! “Like to rock?”

This is really interesting…

Well I got talked into seeing “new moon” yesterday with Steph and Heather, and considering I hadn’t read any of the books or even seen the first movie I was really just going for the popcorn. Anyways, let’s just say there was a surprising amount of moms there, screaming and giggling everytime a guy walked around with his shirt off, which by the way was about 88% of the time

This is really interesting…

Speaking of new moon – Heather got a 3 foot tall movie poster of “jacob” from our Christmas gift exchange while stephanie got a “hello kitty” water cooler. I took last with a can of “spotted dick”, which after a quick google search to figure out what the heck it was confirmed that somebody spent way less than the 20 dollar limit on a present.

Lately I’m thinking…

my family is in florida…..and I’m in new york? (okay that’s from home alone 2 – whatever, it’s a technicality! ) How about….”You guys give up? Or are you thirsty for more”

Lately I’m thinking…

Well as you might have already guessed by now…I don’t have very much for this update, mostly because I feel like I just updated yesterday’s a couple hours ago and to be honest, not much has happened since then. Go Cats!

Currently watching…

This is probably the dumbest video I’ve ever seen – click here to see it – A guy bet that the saints would lose to the crappy redskins, and if they didn’t people could shoot up his giant TV. Oh and on an even dumber note, he went through with it. D.U.M.

Shout out to…

The Klitz’s for hosting Heather yesterday/today and for Heather for coming into Seattle today. NOW START PAINTING! jokes jokes. but seriously. what?

The Soapbox:

One of the hardest things about my job is actually describing what Whrrl is to other people. If you want a better explanation than I usually give you can read this blog post here about our latest release.

Lately I’m thinking…

If anyone would like a delicious hot chocolate that was stirred via magnetic waves, is served at the perfect temperature, and is probably the most delicious hot chocolate you’ve ever had, feel free to stop by anytime and I’ll fire up the COCOA MOTION! I just had the first cup of the year and it was DE-licioius

This is really interesting…

I don’t think Seeley shed a single hair in november, i mean maybe a couple, but definitely the least amount of hair since she was a puppy. But since december hit and we’ve had record lows for this time of the year in seattle, it’s like she’s having a shedding contest with herself. Does that even make sense? Shedding for the winter? I feel like Seeley needs some extra help sometimes

This is really interesting…

Speaking of seeley, we went to the dog park today and this hyper grade school kid showed up and somehow got seeley’s attention. Then he started running away and in my head I was like “don’t run from a predator, it sparks their instincts, just play dead!” (I had just watched a show about a bear attack). Anyways Seeley bolted after him, chased him down, and he stopped close to us and said “the fastest kid in school just got out-ran by a dog”. Anyways about 2 minutes later he was running around and ate it pretty hard on his own

Lately I’m thinking…

Sorry for the late update today. On a side note I had mr gyro today and i love that place

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

Currently reading…

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

Also a bonus shout out to all the readers of the daylight savings times. I’m thankful you’re my friends and I’m going to pick you up next time I see you. Heather I’ll see you at Christmas for some holiday pizza and tacos.

Lately I’m thinking…

“Buzz I’m going through all your stuff, you better come out and pound me”. Yep, Home Alone season starts tomorrow! I’ll be taking the dvd and my kansas snuggie with me to the Klitz residence – who wants to hang out? “Ma’am, I’m eight years old. You think I would be here alone? I don’t think so.”

This is really interesting…

I just seriously made up a joke – i’m going to try it out here – Q: How do you cook a parrot? A: Make sure you pre-parrot first with glaze and stuffing. Get it? “prepare it” HAHHA personally i’ve laughed out loud 3 times in a row

The Soapbox:

Have a safe and fun thanksgiving everyone! (RHYME ALERT bee boo bee boo) Wow who knew, all i had to do (rhyme) was switch the safe and fun around and i’d have a rhyme every time (rhyme).   Go Huskies
