So last night we ventured into cleaning our trash can of an apartment.

For real, it was bad, you couldn’t even see the floor. It only took us two and a half hours, and we were might pleased with ourselves when we were done that we even took pictures..the “before” pictures were way too grotesque to post, so you’ll just have to take our word for it!

Ok, so for real, if you haven’t seen the movie Skid Row, you need to.  It’s actually a documentary. It’ll open your eyes to alot of stuff.  We were shocked that a place like that exists here in the United States, much less only 10 miles from Beverly Hills.

One of the guys said it best, “As long as you can live in your nice house, drive your nice car, and talk on your blackberry…places like Skid Row just don’t exist, and they don’t have to be real.”

1. Junk is something you’ve kept for years and throw away 3 weeks before you need it

2. You should not confuse your career with your life

3. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

4. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status, or ethnic background is that deep down inside we ALL believe we are good drivers.

5. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.

6. No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes

You know those big signs with flashing lights that say “prepare to stop when flashing”?  Well, there I am driving on 23 yesterday when I see this sign in the distance teetering a little bit…and then sure enough, the thing just KABOOMED right into the middle of the road about 5 cars in front of me.

I sat in traffic for 25 minutes because of that.  While I was sitting there I was thinking to myself, “of all the luck, of course this humongo sign would want to fall in the road right in front of me..I am the most unlucky person ever!”  And then I changed my mind and decided I was actually incredibly lucky.  Why you ask? Well, because the big metal pole with flashing lights could have fallen right as I was going under it, smashing myself and my car into thirteen thousand little pieces.

See, it’s all how you look at it!

1. Our idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance

2. Eat well, stay fit, and die anyway

3. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it.

4. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming

5. It ain’t the jeans that make your butt look fat

6. There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness”…(& sometimes I cross it!)

We know you’ve seen them…you’re out there in the world just minding your own business when all of a sudden a little teeny bopper goes rolling past you…on their shoes.

You think to yourself, “how’d they do that?” Then you realize that there are little wheels attached to their tennis shoes and whenever they feel need to move a little bit quicker..BANG, they just pop up on their wheels and fly right past you!

Well, we were at Wal-Mart earlier when a similar instance occurred, so naturally we imagined, “what if we had these magic skating shoes?”  And then I think we both got a visual and just laughed, cuz we could picture ourselves walking down the Wal-Mart aisle with all our cake supplies in hand, then go to pop up on our wheels and blaze away..and then completely wipe out in one of the most embarrassing displays of our time.

So while we would love to have these speedy little shoes, we would like to save ourselves the embarrassment more.

A few well known, a few unknown, unpsoken, or spoken rules 2 live by (brought 2 you by…us!)

1. Don’t worry about what people think, they don’t do it very often.

2. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you’ve never tried before.

3. Not one shred of evifence supports the notion that life is serious.

4. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.

5. A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.

6. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well, just get up and dance!

..more to come folks, so get big!

If you watched Project Runway at all last season you heard the word “fierce” ALOT!

 Well there happens to be a little girl out there who is the definition of the word fierce…

No joke, she rocks it harder than any girl I know, & she does it in style..

She’s a beautiful, precious ray of sunshine. She’s the Boo, she’s true joy…& ladies and gentlemen, the girl is FIERCE!

Lori Christophersen sent this to me a few weeks ago..it’s totally cute & we have adopted it as an essential daily prayer….the Lord is good!

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord my shape to keep

Please no wrinkles, please no bags

Please life my butt before it sags

Please no age spots, please no gray

And as for my belly, please take it away

Please keep me healthy, please keep me young

And I thank you dear Lord

For all that you’ve done!
