Stuff and Junk

I had an epiphany tonight.  There are a bunch of blogs that I check on a daily basis.  I'm kinda a dork like that.  But worse than that, I get really upset when someone doesn't write for a really long time.  And by a really long time, I mean a couple of days.  Then, I realized that I don't write every couple of days.  In fact, we haven't posted in over 2 weeks.  So, in an attempt to redeem myself, and not feel quite so hypocritical, here's what's up with us, in no specific order. 1.  We LOVE the TV show, The Office.  Question:  What kind of bears are best?  Answer:  Black Bears.  Fact:  Black Bears eat people.  We've spent the last 2 weeks watching all the seasons.  And we just about died laughing.  Seriously hilarious! 2.  How long is it until Adam goes to school?  WHAT?!?!  Two more years?  I don't know if I can play Hungry, Hungry Hippos or Break the Ice or race cars for two more years.  On a side note:  if you ever want to feel completely inept and uncoordinated, race a car on your knees against a 3-year old.  In my head, I thought "He's little.  I'll go slow so he can win."  In reality, I'm pretty sure I pulled some muscle trying desperately just to semi-keep up. 3.  Emily is sneaky.  She has decided she loves school lunch.  What?  Today, I packed her a lunch, because frankly I don't want to pay for her to eat at school every day.  On the way home, she informed me she hid her lunch, so she could buy lunch.  Sneaky, sneaky! 4.  Emily made me a measuring tape today.  She cut and stapled papers together, and numbered it from 1 - 100.  Then she wrote "Emily loves Mom" on it.  It's in my kitchen drawer, just in case you need to measure anything that doesn't actually have to be accurate. 5.  Has anyone seen Jon?   I think the church ate him . . . I'll pay a reward for information leading to his safe return. 6.  Robbie loves school.  On the first day of school, he looked at me seriously, and said "It's good to be back at school."  I think he just likes all the girls who like him.  We seriously can't walk down the hall without some little girl saying [cue little girl flirting voice] "Hi Robbie!" Rather worrying. 7.  Have I mentioned that Kelsey is the cutest baby ever?  Well, she is.  I'm actually getting tired of random people informing me of that fact.   I'm getting tired of saying "Well, we like her.  But, we're prejudiced."  Cause that's what I say EVERY time.  I need a new line. 8.  I am on a big scrooge kick.  I keep coming up with ways to save money.  Thus far, I have cancelled my gym membership (but that was more cause I didn't really like getting up in the middle of the night to work out!), cancelled our Blockbuster Online, and convinced Jon that date night can be a dollar movie and Taco Bueno.  But, if all goes according to plan (yeah, when does that ever happen?), we'll have both cars paid off by this time next year.  Woo hoo! 9.  Does every list have to have 10 things on it?  Cause that means I have one more to go, and I'm completely out of anything remotely interesting.  I could tell you about all my crazy things I do.  Like, I'm about to go make my bed . . . at 9:00 at night.  Or, the fact that I got upset with Jon this morning because he made the peanut butter sandwich wrong.  (Okay, not seriously upset.  Betcha didn't know there was a right way to make a peanut butter sandwich!)  Or the fact that I can't let anyone else fold laundry or load my dishwasher, because they do it wrong.  Seriously.  I'm actually kind of a freak of nature. 10.  THE END!  (That is way enough boring stuff for one night!)
