Oh no you di'nt 10-09-08 05:14pm CST
We THOUGHT we were going to Disney World today. It turns out we got the dates confused and we won't be leaving for several days!!! I'm so glad we didn't get all packed and wake up early to catch that 5:30 am flight! Oh wait, WE DID!!! Jin Li was confused when we were leaving the airport, but once we explained to her that her parents are MORONS, she seemed to understand. And she was very happy about getting to go to school.


We got back home around 5:00 am. Can you think of a better time for a family photo??? No way, it doesn't exist!

palliardI didn't laugh till I saw the unhappy mickey. See ya real soon! K e y, Y. Because we like you. 
jdickenshey, where do ya'll go to get an oil change? I have a place, but it's in CS and now that I live across town, I was wondering if there was a good place closer by. 
jrhudginsHa ha! That's awesome! One time when I was 7 or so we drove the two hours to a Rangers game, went to church in the Metroplex, went to the stadium and there was no one there. I cried all the way home and have been scarred for life. But, on the bright side, at least yall aren't Mormons. 
jdickensthat's the place I was wondering about. Cool. Just wanted to check to see if they were reputable. 
kimsiscowell, you turned that into something funny! more than most can say... sorry about the delay!

more rewarding than a fire cracker 07-04-08 12:51am CST
I like to hide crackers (sometimes chips, but mainly crackers) in Brent's sandwiches. I've been doing it for several years now. I'm not sure why this brings me great joy, but it does. He once ate a whole sandwich at Schlotzsky's without ever noticing the extra crunch of a Saltine hiding inside. It doesn't always go this well. Last week he busted me for hiding one in his Subway. Bummer.

Tonight he was heating up a hamburger patty in the microwave. He stepped out of the room, so I slipped a Saltine under the patty. (No bread people. That's risky.) I was a little concerned that the Saltine had noticeably elevated the patty, but as luck would have it, he decided to reheat. I was hoping they might congeal, especially since he usually eats the patty plain, with a fork. When he pulled out the bread, I was worried. Could the cracker successfully AND DISCRETELY travel, with the patty, onto the bread??? I wish I had it on video because, let me just say that there has NEVER been a safer landing. AND he let me take his picture!!! (I told him to pose with the tomatoes that Missy grew in her garden. Thanks Missy!) Then he ate the cracker. What a great day!

prehensile tale 04-09-08 10:20am CST
Question:

If you have an itch on your LEFT side, let's say 6" directly below your armpit, would you use your LEFT arm to scratch? Or use your RIGHT arm to reach across and scratch? Think about it. Go ahead and give it a practice scratch just to be certain.

If you answered "left arm" then I think you might possibly be a monkey. And if I see you scratching like this, I WILL MAKE MONKEY NOISES AT YOU. Which is what happened the other day when Adam came by the furniture store. He scratched (monkey style) so I made VERY LOUD monkey noises at him. Too bad a customer was standing right behind me. Then I had to help them. That was awkward.

graceI love Krissie stories! I miss you! 
cascadingharmonyI'm a monkey scratcher :) 
bulieHilarious!! 
amberaHahahaha! Funny. :) 
lisakayethis was a good laugh :) 
yostHAHA, I think you should buy a ten key for the kitchen, might help you warm up your instant coffee, haha!

Thanks on the update of Brent's dislikes...haha! 
ashleyYou're hilarious! 
bulieawww! thanks!! I'm looking forward to being home as well even though I have mixed feelings about leaving Italy and all the friends I have made here! 
doesanamedescribeHeeeellllooo right back at ya :) 
aggiechicaThat was so cute of Jin Li to talk to make me feel "welcome" yesterday and introduce me to you! She is precious! :) 
brianDepends on the intensity of the itch. The left arm usually suffices, but it's nice to have the right arm for those really big jobs. 
lisakayeHi, Krissie! I saw your comment on Grace's blog about the pics of the girls with the stroller. I could "hear" your voice saying that! It made me miss you! I can't wait to see you next month!!! 
elizabethbhey Krissie! You are so funny! 
yostClay's new CD is GREAT!!! I hope you got it. 
yostIt's ok, it was a hard test. You're still a wonderful friend! 
elizabethbI was listening to some songs from BNL's new album and there's a whole song about the joke Jin Li told about 789. You should check it out! It's pretty funny! 
graceSort of. They have "rest time" for 30 minutes or so right before the end of their day. Some teachers will want you to buy a mat and some don't so if I were you I'd wait until you get to meet her teacher. They'll let you know if you need one. Let me know when you find out who her teacher is. (I'm sure she will be a teacher's pet!!) 
elizabethbok so you know how crazy you were about Clay Aiken, well I have become that crazy over David Cook!! :) 
elizabethbthanks! was only doing my part as a truly devoted fan. :) which David were you for? 
elizabethband I agree about Clay's hair! it's pretty scary!! 
elizabethbpeople up here have been so amazed by the game of snaps they are actually wanting us to do this at the FC talent show up here. Yikes! I can't decide if I like that idea or not! 
doesanamedescribeHey. I was thinking about you the other day! I hope that everything is going just wonderfully for you guys! 
lisakayeI knew you'd love them!!! :) 
ashleyI just found out about this this morning. Xanadu is on Broadway right now. I think a trip to New York is in order 
jscoFriend me please!!

it's tricky 02-09-08 01:21pm CST
I've been working with our pets for awhile now, trying to teach them how to beg. Lately, I've been offering them a little yogurt and it really seems to work!


Here's Ladybug in action.


And our cat, Popple. (You might be more familiar with his rap name, P. Kitty.)


My methods really seem to be working!!!
