Bright Sunshiny Day

Did ya hear the one....

About the dude who was finally rescued off the remote island?

Well, when the rescuers arrived they found the man alone, but with three huts.

"What are all the huts for?"  asked one rescuer.

"That one is my house."

"What's that one for?"  asked the other rescuer pointing to the middle one. 

"Well, I was raised a religious man.  That's my church." 

"And the third one?" asked the last rescuer.

"Well, that's my old church.  We had some problems!" 

<As overheard at church last sunday morning.>

Randy no like the shrimp...

Way back when....before kids, before house, before we became grown ups....Andy and I lived across the street from our favorite Chinese food place. 

Ah yes.  When we called and placed our order, they knew exactly who we were and how we liked our meal.  Sesame chicken and Hunan Triple Crown - with chicken and beef only.  They had these huge shrimp that was supposed to go in the triple crown, but they grossed me out.  (perhaps the beginnings of my food particulars? if you know me well, you know that I have some strict rules about the food that I eat...and where it came from.  I gross out easy)

Anyway.  Andy would usually call and place our order of Sesame chicken and Hunan Triple Crown with chicken and beef - no shrimp.  They would always say is this for Randy? (yes, 11 years later I still think that is HIGH-LARIOUS).  He'd say "Andy" "Ok, Randy.  Be ready in 15 minutes!"

So one day, I called to place the order.  And before I even got to say who it was for, the girl says, "Is this for Randy?  Randy no like the shrimp!!"

All that to say....

I got my hair cut and colored the other day.  Jen the hair girl got a little heavy handed with the red....

Lotsa red!

Mostly, no, all in front.  I thought we were putting in brown there.  She thought the red would be cute.

Not so much.

Randy no like the red!

We are doomed

Doomed I tell ya.

Andy and I flunked the "marriage quiz" at church sunday morning.  Upon leaving I suggested that we go straight to the attorney's office. He declined saying if we can make through watching the Aristocats over and over and over and over and over, than surely we can survive (and perhaps even figure out) if the other desires Words of Affirmation or Quality Time Together. I dunno. I want my pre-nup. Oh wait.  You have do that first...ah well....could it be that we are gonna have to stick this out?

And I like cream in my coffee
And I like to sleep late on Sunday
And nobody knows me like my baby
And I like eggs over easy
With flour tortillas
And nobody knows me like my baby

And nobody holds me
And nobody knows me
Nobody knows me like my baby

Sung by who else but the great Lyle Lovett.  ((The song goes on to explain how the gentleman found himself a questionable companion south of the border. Perhaps he needed a few more Words of Affirmation? However, the rest of the song was no use to me, so you don't get to read the words.  I don't think the gentleman and his baby worked it out though.  Hope they had prenup))

In other news.  We are finished with 4 year olds for the time being. E and C had a great time at Pump it Up with tons of little buddies.   Too many little buddies.  I had to restrict my primarys (Kris and Elaine) from even CONSIDERING pizza and cake.  No sir. That cake and pizza is for the kids who didn't tell me they were coming.  In the end I did give Kris a half a slice of pizza. Maya even ate a whole slice.

Pics to come later.  However I will tide you over.  Scroll down to photo albums. I've got a new one up called a day in the life.  Just so you could get a glimpse of a part of our day in Bright Sunshiney Dayland.
