The Sunday Funnies

This afternoon, my sister and her family came over for dinner and to play our all time favorite card game--The Great Dalmuty.

My brother-in-law, Robeño is a huge tease, and at one point was doing the old--what's on your shirt trick.

You know the game--where you point to their shirt and say, "What's on your shirt?", and when they look down you bring your finger up and flip their chin or nose or whatever.

Well, Uncle Robeño caught Savvy looking down so many times--that she decided to deliver a little retribution.

{Of course, when you are the supreme teaser--you generally don't fall for others' attempts at teasing.}


Savvy just wouldn't give up. She tried that trick many times, yet always failed to catch her Uncle looking down.

As they were leaving, I noticed Savvy chasing Uncle Robeño around the family room. It had been going on for so long that I couldn't remember why she was even chasing him.

"Savvy, what are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm trying to flip off Uncle Robiño--cause he's been flipping me off all night," she answered.

And that's how we keep the Sabbath day holy at our house.

The Sunday Funnies

Last week, on American Idol, Kelly Clarkston sang her new song, "My Life Would Suck Without You."



I was cleaning the kitchen, so I missed the performance.

But, when the song ended, Savvy came upstairs and said, "Mom. You know that song "My Life Would Suck Without You?"

"Yes," I said.

"Well, I was just thinking how my life really would suck without you," she continued. "I mean, without you I'd probably be a hobo living on the
side of the road."

{Isn't it wonderful how American Idol strives to instill such inspiring family values into our children? It really does take a village.}

The Sunday Funnies

Yesterday, we were able to go to the Draper Temple open house with my in-laws.

It was quite busy...and as a result we stood in a significant line as we moved slowly through the temple.

This was actually a good thing because it gave us time to check out every nook and cranny...even the men's and women's dressing rooms.

As we stood in line in a big corridor, Savvy practiced balancing on one foot.

Now, Savvy on two feet doesn't always have the best balance--so I knew this could be potentially troublesome. I told her not to do it anymore.

Naturally, she continued to do her balancing as we waited.

Finally, we started to move down the hall. At that point, Savvy lost her balance and fell towards a shut door--labeled "Custodial Closet".

To save herself from hitting the floor, she grabbed onto the door handle--and opened the door. Luckily, Auzy grabbed her by her shirt before she fell inside the closet.

We heard a quiet beeping sound which {we found out moments later when security came rushing down our hall} happened to be a silent alarm for intruders.

Oopsie.

Team Skinny Update

All right ladies, I have finally sent out the evite for the Team Skinny blog.

Dontcha think that March is a fantastic month to start your New Year's Resolutions? With spring-like weather--there is really no excuse to not be exercising outside. Unless you woke up to an inch or two of snow this morning--like I did--but luckily I've got my spin bike to hold me through till it really is Spring--like maybe in June?

If you didn't get an invite and you are wanting to be a part of the resoluting skinnies--leave me a comment and I'll get you added on.

{Katie H. and Kelly B--I did not have your emails--so leave a comment with it and I will take care of bidness.}

The Junk Collector

Yesterday, my brother sent me an email that I'm sure he thought was quite hilarious. And he would be correct. It was pretty funny.

So funny, that I've decided to share it with my loyal readers...who I am sure have dwindled down to one because of my irregular posting.

The email from Z: (background..his car just went kaplooey and he's getting rid of it..piece by piece?)

"You don't want anything out of a Dodge Neon do you? You're makin' stuff out of crap. I've got a perfectly good car you can pull a seat out of, or whatevs. I know, make a sign out of the hood! You can hang it above your garage."

This made me laugh, because yes, I do love collecting junk--especially in my garage.

Why junk? Well, I have always had a great love for making something out of nothing. I enjoy creative projects.

So, whenever I see junky treasures...I see potential and come up with such grand ideas for makeovers that I can hardly contain myself.

Of course, sometimes these ideas don't always come to fruition...hence, the garage full of junk.
You see, I am also procrastinator of epic proportions.

But, I digress...back to the junk...

I've got a garage full of barnwood from my grandpa's barn (El Jefe curses me everytime he pulls his car into the garage).

I have two wonderfully, old doors--also from Grandpa's house. (One is actually in my front room--with a wreath hanging on it. The other door is in my garage waiting for inspiration) or for El Jefe to do what I really want him to do with it--which is hang it sideways--on a 20 foot high wall.

I have the most fabulous bi-fold door that I bought at Home Depot for $5. I planned on making it into a shelf, then a sofa table, then....who knows what...

Two old bar stools...there used to be three--but I made the one into a lovely clock, end table in my craft room

Old windowpanes

A nice collection of 2x4's

Old bricks

A set of dresser drawers...needing to be overhauled

Lots of old cupboard doors..from a salvage shop

Horseshoes (don't ask..cuz I won't tell)

And many more treasures too numerous to mention (plus..if El Jefe finds out about all my secret trash stashes..I have a feeling it will start to disappear---bit by everloving bit).

My email response to dear Z?

"You are such a lunatic (hehe). But, hey, I wouldn't mind having the rearview mirror--I was thinking of putting some vinyl lettering on it and hanging it in my shower--you know to watch for Pscyho killers that sneak up behind me and try to murder me.."

A procrastinatingly, paranoid,

junk collector.
