Adult Truths

Adult Truths … (taken from my aunt's facebook)

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong .

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the heckl are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

18. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

19. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?

20. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

22. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

23. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.

24. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.


Love it!

Weekend review

The weekend started out with a fail of a photo shoot. This is the best picture I could get of the two of us. Not too impressive! We were alone for the last time this weekend (Mike hunting one last time) and clearly we had mixed emotions about it.

I went to body flow again on Saturday (awesome!! so much work to do before I'm even moderately ok at it. It definitely focuses on my weakest areas) and Josie hung out in the Y playstation. It's convenient, but they have a ridiculous amount of rules/stipulations and its frustrating to work with. They won't feed her, I need to make a reservation before she can come but can't make it too far in advance, It's $3 an hour and another $.75 every additional 15 minutes, and it goes on and on. I'm still not impressed that I have to pay extra for this on top of my membership. It's convenient, but I am not planning on using it very often with those prices. Membership is going to be $50 for me after I turn 25 (one month!) so that adds up pretty quick!

She did great there though, and also did great when I had her in the nursery on Sunday morning. It's so strange how she can do just fine with total strangers and no Mom or Dad in sight, but then she'll freak out if someone else is holding her (family) and she can't see us anymore. I hope she grows out of it soon! Poor Papa (my dad) can't take much more rejection.

Mid sneeze. Bahahah.

We went for a walk with Aunt Liz, and visited Aunt Lara at work. I am fairly certain that I wouldn't have been able to get out of bed this morning if I had gone home after body flow and sat down instead of moving around. I do like the feeling of being sore though. Nothing beats the good kind of pain that comes with an intense workout.

She's pleased with herself.  We attempted shopping today with Aunt Lara but all three of us were dragging. It might have had something to do the fact that everyone in North Dakota was in town today. I completely hate weekend shopping from now until after Christmas. G.r.o.s.s.

Mike finally came home (oh he was missed by all of us, Buckley included) and we headed to the exciting land of Target. I could walk around that store for hours. Hours...

OH and my parents came up to have some supper. Mediterranean Linguine. A lot of basil, too many noodles, and not enough sauce. I'll still eat all those left overs though...

Oh and who doesn't love a good old Twilight marathon?! That happened. On Saturday. Those cheesy movies make me so warm and fuzzy inside. Give me some popcorn, diet coke, and dim the lights and you have one fabulous evening at the casa de Deyle.

I've started watching the show "Giuliana and Bill" and I'm completely addicted. They aren't trashy and they have a reality show! Why is it so fascinating to see glimpses of other people's lives. It means nothing to me that they are famous. I just love to see how other people interact. 

She found the carpet this weekend. She also learned how to roll across the entire room (baby gate is needed desperately upstairs) and is doing her best to scoot in all different directions. She can also sit up for extended periods of time if I set her up first. Girl makes me proud.

She's slowly figuring out how to swallow her cereal and she thinks it is the funnest thing to open her mouth and get the spoonful of food. Once its in, its hilarious to just laugh with a mouthful of food and drool pouring out. I should really get this on video.

I'm always happy when she doesn't come up with a fistful of dog hair. My standard of living has significantly decreased since we got Buckley. Loveable dog has a lot of loveable hair.

BFFs for life.

I'm sick of thinking of titles. What I do think of is never good anyways.

I feel like I should be posting something fabulous, but there isn't a lot going on right now.

I heard that it was supposed to snow soon. Um what?? I am not mentally prepared for this. Not even a teeny bit. I am not ready to buy a new pair of boots because I really want Ugs but am not willing to spend the mulah needed for them. Knock offs make me sad. They fall apart and look cheap. Winter you always defeat meeeee...

I'm still working on my crocheted hat. Don't I sound like a broken record? But this time (this time!!) I feel like I might actually be getting it. Maybe someday I will have a beautiful picture on here that will make you all ooh and ahh. I plan on getting some quality crochet time in this weekend/next weekend/Thanksgiving weekend.

Now that I have been working out a lot more, I am actually starting to look forward to it. It always takes me a while to get in the groove and not just feel ridiculously sore all the time. I may retract that last statement after tonight's work out. Maybe I'll post about that if I am still able to move my arms.

I don't even have a fun picture of Jo to put on here. Lame, huh? How about this old one from a while ago, just to remember the good old days?

Tomorrow's Friday and the super slow week is almost done! I don't know what is going on, but the slowness at work was so strange and I wasn't such a fan.

Until next time!



Meh Monday

I couldn't help myself this weekend. I had to buy Josie more clothes. She is way more fun to dress up than I am! I'll try to post pictures with her in these fun new outfits over the next couple of days.

She looked tired this morning, but was wide awake and generally happy. I've been trying to get her to eat rice cereal every day (usually in the morning) but she hasn't really got the whole "swallow" thing down. There was a moment on Saturday where she did swallow it (most likely on accident) but it didn't stick and she still just spits it out and laughs at me. It's really a timing thing too. If I try to feed her when she's really hungry, she gets super mad and just wants her bottle. If she isn't hungry enough, she just wants to play with her toys and not focus on the food. She can't possibly be my daughter if she doesn't want food all the time...??

Random info for the day. I've been working on crocheting a hat for myself for about a month. Why is it taking so long, you ask? Well I get started, check my progress, dislike it, and undo it all. I've probably done this about 15 times. The hat I wanted to make ended up being way too hard and the directions were coded in the crochet language I don't know yet. The second hat was just from a girl on Youtube and I thought I understood her but couldn't get the same results. The third hat was not the type of hat I wanted (I want chic slouchy hat yo) but the Youtube lady was super easy to understand. I almost had that one done. Then I decided I'd rather just figure out the first Youtube (second hat) version because I would actually wear it. Plus I'd learned more by this point so I thought I could figure it out.

So I am still trying. It's easier, but I have trouble keeping it from twisting (crocheting in a circle is hard for me guys) and usually have to undo sections of it after noticing that its getting messed up. This perfectionist thing is really raining on my parade.

Mike went hunting this weekend and successfully got his deer! He was really excited to go (as always) but even more so this year because he had a buck tag and hasn't had one of those for a long time (if ever? I think he did once before I knew him). His dad hasn't got one yet so they will go out again before the season is done, but I know Mike was just excited to get one. He's only gotten one in the time that we've been together (4.5 yrs) and I was beginning to think that I was a bad luck charm for him. Good thing I don't believe in luck ;). To my horror, he told me that he was going to hang it in the garage, but its over at his parents' place and I'm fine with that. I will eat it, but I don't want to stare at it. Gross.

We successfully made it through a weekend without Buck destroying our floors. Or eating any of Josie's toys (well, destroying them anyway, he did get a nibble on one particular duck). Or escaping from our "easily escapable in need of repair" fenced in yard. Good job, boy. I knew you could do it. Now we'll probably keep you for at least another month or so. (We've got to keep him on edge or he'll get even more lazy).

I went to Body Pump again this morning. Kicked my butt big time. So tired, but yet so happy. I also went to Body Flow on Saturday (yoga/pilates/Tai Chi thing combo) and realized that there is zero flexibility in this body. Notta. Zip. I have some serious work to do all around. Uggggh. I'm tired thinking about it.

I just think she's so cute when she sleeps all cuddled in her blanket. (Don't worry, I didn't leave the room with her in this potentially suffocating situation. She just loves to snuggle with it... and that's fine with me.

Not to brag, but Josie rocked the time change. We just slept in that extra hour and she didn't even know that anything was different. Call me blessed!!! I am so relieved because I was nervous about it. Big time.

Oh he's funny. He loves to snuggle too, can't you tell?

Happy Monday you all! (See how non-Texan I am? Straight laced Midwestern right here. :) I'm ok with that I guess.)
