I Like Lists

1. Yesterday while waiting for my College Algebra class, I was sitting in the hallway. Across from me on the floor was a kid in my class. I gained a whole new respect for this goofy fat kid. First, a way cute girl walks by, he yells, "Hey!" She totally stops and like grills him on what he is doing, he flirts, she leaves. Thirty seconds later, another way cute girl stops, she says "Hey! What are you doing? You told me you didn't go here. Why'd you do that?" He just shrugs, gives her a winning smile and says, "I don't know." She totally just giggled, flirted and walked away. So know I'm thinking this kid is a play-ah. Then, two women dressed in middle-eastern attire come walking down the hallway, he totally greets them in some middle eastern language, and has a huge conversation with them. While this is happening, Benjamin Franklin gets off the elevator and walks down the hallway. I'm not kidding either. I thought it was the weirdest, most entertaining day waiting for class ever.

2. I got a B on my Algebra test. Don't celebrate, that's the lowest math test score I have EVER gotten. On the other hand, my husband got a B on his Industrial safety class test, and he had the highest score in the class. Woohoo! I'm so proud of him! Obviously, I have different expectations for myself, than I do for him:)

3. Have you ever seen the show Charlie and Lola on the Disney channel? we checked out a DVD from the library. My four year old is speech delayed. He watched that DVD over and over. Now he does a perfect impression of Lola, complete with a perfect English accent. He says, "No, Cha-lee", and after I say, "I can do anything and everything" he says "On my owwwwn." I have him say it a hundred times a day, and I laugh like it's the funniest thing I've ever heard, every time.

4. ladies and Gentleman! Boys and Girls! I have finally caught up on laundry! It wasn't easy, the piles of clothes were colossal. But I did it!

5. My husband came home from walmart with a new filter for the air conditioner thingy and some sort of air freshener that blows through the vents. Here is how our conversation went.
Him: See this, it will make our house smell good.
Me: Oh! So our house won't smell like poop anymore.
Him: Right.
Now I can smell that nice flowery scent right when I pull into the garage.

6. My friend Melanie has read every book ever printed. However, I totally found a book she hadn't read and was able to recommend it to her. I felt like I had accomplished something. The book is Sorcery and Cecelia. (It's on my list to the side if you want more info like the author or whatever) If you like Pride and Prejudice, or Emma or just anything from that time period, you will enjoy this book. But also on that note...

7. I read The Candy Shop War by Brandon Mull. Total genius. The moral of the story: Don't take candy from a stranger. Classic. Hey Meeka, tell Camdon that I loved it and I am totally jealous he got to meet Brandon Mull. He is on my list of authors I want to sign my books!

8. Ahh, the Chiefs. Sundays game was painful to watch. we lost to the Raiders. THE RAIDERS! Are you kidding me? We are Raider Haters! We're supposed to kick their trash, especially since it was a home game. I think I would have been able to watch a better football game at the local High school. Bahhh! I guess I never had high expectations for this season, but I didn't think it would be this bad.

So, that's it. That's all. I'm done til later.

Here's my list:
1. Great job on the B's to both of you. I stink at math so a B would be welcomed. It's all about perspective.

2. Why does your house smell like poop?

3. Yeah, Camdon waited in line at the mall for like 4 hours, but thought it was worth every second of the wait to meet Brandon Mull.

4. Why does your house smell like poop?

5. Just become a BSU fan! They'll NEVER let you down.

6. Why does your house smell like poop?

Okay, I'm done!

Meeka,
Here is my response to your list.

1. That's right, it's all about perspective.

2. His name is Ian.

3. I would have been right there with Camdon. I waited about that long for Stephenie Meyer.

4. I guess the dishes rotting in my sink might have something to do with it.

5. But then my Mom would disown me. We are a BYU family. Although that fiesta bowl game a year or two ago was fantastic.

6. Ah, it probably doesn't, it's probably all in my head anyway.

Happy New Year

Every night at around 8pm, I announce, " K, it's time for bed !"  and my 8 yr old (who we now consider to be autistic) ...
