Jim makes ketchup funny

I don't date around with other comedian's. Let's just say Jim and I are going steady. We had a little date on Friday and I even paid. Brad is cool with it. He came to keep me company while Jim was on stage. You have my permission to watch the clip but just remember he's MY comedian ladies. Hands off.

My Styrofoam Balls

I'm super crafty these days. I take things and glue them to Styrofoam balls.

(You need to read that last sentence again, it was really good.)

What kinds of things you ask? Pinto beans. It took me about 14 hours, but once I was done my sense of accomplishment felt great! I can't deny there were times when I wanted to give up, but saving $9 made it well worth my burns and sore back. You can't buy crafty knowledge like that. I proudly put The Pinto Bean Ball in it's dish along with The Twig Ball and The Hemp Ball.

Perfect.

Now I can look at them and be reminded how crafty I am. Today I started The Autumn Ball. I spent $3 on real maple leaves covered in fake coloring that smelled chemical-ish.

Perfect.

I have big plans for my collection. Seven words. The-Moss-Ball-and-The-Feather-Ball. I think I'm gluing on uncharted craft territory.

(OK you really have to read that last sentence, it was even better!)

Lucky number seven

Did you know our anniversary was this week?! As in Brad and I, not our anniversary. I don’t share my anniversaries with just anyone. There are strict rules one must adhere to.

1. You would be required to love the socks off me.

2. Sexy squint eyes are a must!

3. You have to make killer Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies and burn grilled cheese sandwiches while telling me you didn’t burn a thing.

4. You must take two of those killer Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies and sandwich some cookie dough in-between to make you smile….and sick.

5. Laughing at yourself, your wife, the TV, your kid, strangers, and people falling down cannot be compromised upon (sorry).

6. You need to have a super annoying and hairy dog whom will take every single chance he has to run out the front door, back door, side door (if we had a side door), and garage door.

7. My son must ask about you every few hours, minutes, or sometimes seconds when you're not here.

8. Your Lady must think about you every few hours, minutes, or sometimes seconds when you're not here.

9. You must make me mad. But only sometimes please. I’m just saying…

10. You must make me happy. Like really happy. The kind of happy that no one else could.

Tall order? I know. Can you imagine his list??! [modest smile]

Kisses

Brynner got his first kiss last night. The girl? She's our bishop's daughter (Scandal!). It was the cutest thing I think I've ever seen. Two little ones puckered as puckered lips get, leaning in for a smooch. And let me tell you, once she got her kiss, Natalie wanted a few more. Not that I blame her, he is cute you know. My gosh they are cute. I'm trying to see how many times I can say cute without getting sick of it and I have the need to say it more. Cute. Cute. STINKIN' Cute! Surprising to me, it didn't make me sad thinking how big he was. My heart was too busy melting into a puddle.

I didn't have my camera last night, but here are a couple kisses when I did.

**What happened to all girls have cooties?!

Licking good time

Brynner will shove his hand by Rusty's mouth (or in his mouth if he's not getting a response) and squeal with delight as Rusty obliges him a few licks. I cringe, I laugh, then I take a photo.

Thanks Sis.

Last month I talked my sister into letting me practice what it might feel like to be a real life photographer. We ended up having 30 min. of which half the time all I could think about was the psycho gopher that wasn't scared of me. Evil Gopher! He kept inching toward me though the tall grass and freaking me out. I think I may have screamed out a little. After that I was sure something was going to get us....like a badger. Evil badgers! Anyway I lived to tell about it so have a looksey at what a gorgeous sister I have!

Don't judge the lighting too harshly, I need to practice more. This time I need a couple (as in two) who will let me boss you around and shoot you...with a camera of course. Plus you get bonus points for great style and being goofy. I want it to be in downtown SLC on either a Thursday or Friday evening. Leave me a comment by Thursday no later then 9:32 pm. BTW don't be thinking you get off scott free.....I will require one Almond Joy candy bar for payment. I would even accept 1/2 but that is where I must draw the line. Sorry.

Wait for it.........

Ten!!! Just watch and you'll know what I mean.
