I'm also excited to say that I will be traveling to SLO in September for Kaelah's birthday and will get to see more of my girls. 

<3 you Michelle!

sock monkeys & the Grinch

This past Christmas, I bought my boyfriend a sock monkey. And please don't take that the wrong way....he's been wanting one for a while now. Anyway, he had become quite the travel companion, and we took him along on road trips with us. But for whatever reason, Jonathan left him at my house, and he's been here for a few weeks now. The poor guy was forgotten about when we took our trip to the Whitewater center, and then again this past weekend when we went to Atlanta. Feeling depressed, he turned to his girlfriend, who despite their long distance relationship, he still loves very much. 

Here's the happy couple on a roadtrip to Asheville

 It was then that he found out the truth- She's been cheating on him with the Grinch. Which, I don't agree with cheating, but she gets left behind taking care of the children while Sock Monkey gets to go out and have fun. The cheating had been suspected, but was truly confirmed with the birth of a green sock monkey baby.

The shock of the news only made his depression worse, and he reached next to him and picked up the pop gun (which Jonathan left here too). Not realizing that he was made of stuffing and the gun was merely a toy, it did nothing but left him laying stunned on my bed.

Now, I'm not quite sure what the point of this story is, but I think it's obvious that my boyfriend leaves too many of his toys at my house.

Bigfoot spotted in NC!

I saw this news article recently, and I couldn't help but laugh.
http://www.11alive.com/News/Odd/184267/186/Bigfoot-spotted-in-North-Carolina-man-claims


As I read this, I was thinking 2 things... #1: People from the south are crazy. This man from Shelby found Bigfoot, and this man from Salisbury said there was an alien invasion: http://www.kcbd.com/story/14273142/north-carolina-man-claims-dr-phil-warning-of-alien-invasion-as-reason-for-speeding?clienttype=printable&redirected=true


#2: WHY can no one ever get a good picture of Bigfoot? Does it just so happen that everyone that ever spots him has a crappy camera? I mean, with all the advancing technology, even basic cell phones have high resolution cameras on them with the capability of zooming in without distorting the picture too much. I mean, come on! I wanna see what this guy looks like up close!
As I was pondering these thoughts, I began to look up some stuff on Bigfoot that I thought was pretty funny.
So for any of you who believe in him, please go find him and make sure you have a good enough camera to get a decent picture of him.

hmm, maybe they were both right!

i'm addicted to jelly beans!

thanks to my boyfriend, i am now addicted to jelly beans. and the sad part? they are ones that you can only get at easter time. unfortunately, he's addicted to them too, which is what started me eating them. and apparently, there are several people that i've heard that suffer with this same problem. 
so, i guess russell stover will be getting a lot of my money from now on.

darn you and your deliciousness, jelly beans.

spiders and underwear dancing

WHY do spiders love to hide in my shower, only to appear when I pick up the shampoo bottle, scaring me when I'm at my most vulnerable?? Well, I think I may have the solution... I'm going to call it the "anti-spiders hiding in my shower dance". How did I come up with this dance? Good question. You see, I stumbled upon it the other day- I was getting ready and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" came on my itunes, causing me to dance around my room in my underwear. And that just happened to coincide with the ONLY day this week that a spider hasn't been hiding out to scare me in my shower. Another benefit of this remedy? It caused me to have an awesome day. So there you have it folks, it's been proven- dancing in your underwear not only keeps spiders out of your shower, but is also a guaranteed good day.*




Now, many of you remember my tales of Shelob's baby from last year, and I definitely do not want another mishap like that to happen again, so I will be trying my new remedy from now on.

*If you do not have a good day or if spiders appear in your shower after trying this remedy, LD cannot be held responsible. It just means you are doing it wrong.

pigs CAN fly!!!

Well, I have yet another thing to mark off my list, and I have to say that this one shocked me the most. I actually kept my room clean for an entire week! and not only did I do that, but I also cleaned out my closet and organized all of my stuff. It's crazy, I know, but it has happened. 

This only leads me to believe that:

I hope everyone has a safe and fun day! 

2009- @ McCarthy's with Scott and Michelle :)

2010- Charlotte with Mikey and Josh

Having a bad day? Do you sometimes feel like everything is going wrong at once? Well, next time you feel as if your life has gone down the crapper, remember these pictures of unique toilets, and you may realize that it might not be such a bad thing.


Enjoy!
