so much for being better, eh?

life just isn’t that interesting right now.  busy, but not interesting.  there is a lot of driving to and from school. trying to convince dale that a road trip for a concert is in order (it’s not working).  also trying to convince him to move to vancouver with erin and me…i think i’ve got him convinced to go for a summer, but i’m not sure he knows i’m being serious.  somebody in a forum i visit (jokingly…i hope) said “i heard the guys in vancouver are hot…maybe your husband doesn’t need to be convinced!”

noodle still loves school, bean still hates her going.  jelly is content to chill as long as the boobies aren’t ever too far away.  that’s about it.  sorry.

back online

so we moved, and it took a bit to reestablish internet connectivity. the last post was made from my mom’s house. but here i am, and i am going to try to be better.

so, here is the last couple of weeks in amusing clips:

remember how i was questioning the wisdom of noodle learning nickelback lyrics? well perhaps i should be more concerned about bean, who recently was heard singing to herself “look at this photograph, every time i do it makes me laugh, i want to be a rock star!” awesome.

remember mcnugget kids from mcdonalds? they were chicken nuggets that had dress up outfits? ok, so bean runs up to me yelling “mama mama, save me! there’s a wa ha ha man!” i say, “a what?” she yells, “the man that says wa ha ha is in our house!” “a man who says ‘wa ha ha’ is in our house. where?” “he’s on the floor! he is dead!” and i ask, “if he’s dead, why am i saving you?” but i turn around to see, and on my living room floor is a mcnugget kid who has come out of his dracula costume-apparently dead. oh, ‘bwah-ah-ah’.

today at school, i was attempting to teach three 5-year-old boys about our sense of taste. the conversation goes something like this…
me:so what are some of your favorite things to taste?
kid a:what’s that on your tongue?
me: this? it’s a barbell. who likes…hamburgers?
kid b: yuck! why does it go through your tongue?!
me: it’s supposed to.
kid b: how did it get there?
me: *sigh* a guy used a needle to put it there.
kid c: he shouldn’t do that! why did he do that?
me: i paid him to.
kid b: well that was kinda dumb!
kid c: i saw one in a guy’s lip before. it was gross.
kid a: (flinging himself into my lap) i like looking at you!
me: thank you. what else do you guys like to look at?

dale and i went through the temple last night to receive our endowments (wow!  just amazing!).  now noodle wants to wear garments too, because “the lace makes them pretty!”  guess we know how to convince her to wear stuff- sew some lace on it!
