1.) Last night I went to a bridal shower for my cousins fiance. I went to school with this cousin from 1st through 7th grade and he’s particularly special. And I’m not just saying that because his whole family reads my blog. I really mean it.
Isn’t he a cutie?
I wanted to marry him, but things just did not pan out for us…I settled for making
him my favorite boy cousin instead.
And as it turns out the girl he’s engaged to is a total babe so things really did work in his favor. I hear people aren’t “into” marriage within the family. I respect that.
One thing you should know is that I’m not talking to you about this because everyone at the shower was all “omg are you gonna blog about this!?! You HAVE to blog about this!!”
That’s not my style.
Ahem.
Did I mention that his mother is astonishingly beautiful?? Well she is.
2.) Did you guys know I’m like a super talented lip syncher? And by “super talented” I mean in sixth grade my family entered ourselves into a talent show and lost? Ten of us got together and practiced relentlessly to the sweet sounds of popular oldies hits.
Actually it was nine.
My little brother bailed due to the taxing choreography demands by my older sister. She wanted perfection. My part was Loco Motion or Local motion…or however you say it, and I really felt like my rendition should have secured us in that first place spot.
Alas.
It did not.
Someday when we can fish out the video…I’m gonna share it with you. Be excited.
2.) Rememeber a few months ago when I had been debating on whether or not I should adopt a kitty that I found at my doorstep? I took it to the humane society because I thought it might be sick and then tracked it on the internet for months to see if it had been adopted. After many guilt ridden nights and a phone call to the animal shelter, I told Pat I had had enough and that I was going to pick the kitty (Marci they named it) up THAT day.
I pulled the kitty up on the website to show Pat how she was still just sitting there in the cage and he decided to point out that the website I was looking at was in Kent, NY…not our state. He laughed hysterically when he realized I had been tracking the wrong cat and we have no idea what actually happened to the kitty I had taken a liking to.
Note the differences:
See how I might have been confused!! It’s her nose that’s totally different. One is all black the other is white.
Pat thinks the fact that the website says “KENT, NEW YORK” in the top corner should have triggered something in my brain. Nevermind the fact that I actually CALLED the shelter and offered to pay for the cat to get adopted…meaning anyone looking for a kitty would get that one for free. They took my name and number and I asked them to put a note on her cage to help her. Pat thinks the 631 area code should have triggered something in my brain…but….not so much.
Anyways, I’ve been asked for an update on Marci’s status…and guess what? She’s STILL THERE!!
Seriously. If you live in New York would you go get that poor cat!?! Consider her a personal gift from me to you. Poor thing. Click here to see here, she’s the 11th kitty down.
3.) I think it’s important to point out that video taping myself while driving is as safe as apple pie. And that’s REALLY safe. Unless the apples were sprayed with pesticides and such and then not so much.
What I’m trying to say is that I know you are worried about me, but don’t be. I video tape in 30 second snippets and it’s usually while I’m driving in and out of my neighborhood…that way if I hit someone they know me and will totally understand and probably just laugh and wave me on.
Also you can’t really tell when I’m wearing those giant sunglasses, but I’m not even looking at the camera. I’m just holding the it on the steering wheel and talking gibberish while my kids look on in a confused fashion.
4.) Look what I bought! :) Remember Kainoa broke my sunglasses and I went shopping?? This is what I come home with when I go shopping for sunglasses…and this is why Pat likes me to stay home.
