To send or not to send...

Every year I get really excited to see all the people who send picture Christmas cards. It is great to see how everyone changes from year to year. If you aren't planning on doing that, please consider the following link: http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery. Like I said. I love getting those cards! Even though we don't have a family yet, I think we may send out some Christmas cards to our close relatives. Everyone loves getting a piece of mail that isn't a bill!
My favorite thing to do is make wall calendars http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars/wall-calendars. They are so much fun and a great gift! I know last year I made one and spent almost an entire day working on it. It was a lot of fun!
If I don't send out Christmas cards, I may wait and surprise everyone and send Valentines Cards http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/valentines-day-cards-and-stationery. This is a time of year most people aren't expecting anything in the mail!
Either way, we will be waiting by the mailbox to get our first Christmas card! Start making yours today! Bloggers get 50 free holiday cards from Shutterfly… sign up: http://bit.ly/sfly2010

Our life could be a sitcom

With the three of us here combined we could completely start our own TV show for sure! Let's start with the youngest member of our group. The other day, while Jeff was away, I come home to find Sherman's "red rocket" sticking out looking like a balloon about to pop. UMMM I don't know about you but this isn't something I have seen before. Long story short, turns out it is something the vet had not seen either. She didn't really know what to tell us, but did tell me I needed to go by KY jelly (yeah you heard right) to put on it if it comes back out. No thanks, is what I wanted to say. haha I head out to the Pharmacy. I am so nervous. I don't want to buy this any more than I want the flu. I find the cheapest one, and decide to purchase other things so it doesn't look so weird. Sure! I walk up to the counter and lay my things down.

She is checking everything out. She gets to the KY and it doesn't scan properly. AHH just my luck. She turns to me and goes. "Do you remember the price of this?" Uh... I panic.... I say "Yes it is $5.99." Instead of stopping there, I start telling more.

Me: "Yeah this is oddly for my dog."

Lady: "Um I hope it is for the outside of your dog"

Me: "oh yeah, we took him to the vet today because his 'thing' won't go back in and the vet said I had to buy this jelly in case it happens again.

Lady: "ok. Well, have a good day."

Who does that? Who says that? ME! Geez. She doesn't need to know my life story but I guess I felt she needed it. ha. By the way, Shermy is doing fine. We have no idea what went on. The KY hasn't even been opened. UGH I could have side stepped that entire experience if I would have just waited.

On to Jeff. Two days ago we headed to try and find some tux rentals for the wedding. We were a little early so we stopped at BW3's and had wings. After that we headed to the Tux place. We had decided on possibly what kind of tux we wanted, but Jeff didn't know his size. The woman goes back and finds one just for him to try on. We had no intention of buying it. She knew that and we knew that. He just needed to find a size. Jeff goes back and tries them on. They fit. Instead of changing right away we three get caught in a conversation. The lady sits down at the computer to show us some other things. Jeff gets kind of funny and starts walking away slowly. He gets about 3 ft away and all of a sudden lets out a loud fart. IN BORROWED PANTS! I have never been so, mad, embarrassed, and laughing at the same time. The lady acted like it didn't happen. But it totally did. After he did it, he looked at me like, oops, what do I do now? Yup, my future husband!

Finally me. (although the Sherman story was kinda about me too) Yesterday I took Shermy for a walk at a local park. We passed by a couple, who I have never seen before. They were walking three dogs. One of the dogs was a Jack Russell Terrior. I said out loud to Sherman, "Look he looks just like Rusty (my parents dog)!" The woman didn't really want to talk but she said, "yeah he has a lot of energy." I said, "yeah they totally do. Do you have any kids?" She looks at me, and then I realize she wasn't in my head knowing how I got to that point. I proceeded to explain the reason I asked was because Jack Russells don't really like kids all that much. I couldn't really back track from what damage had been done, so mid sentence I go... "Well, have a good day." Why am I so awkward in public situations? I am sure they have told that story to some people. For gosh sakes I completely would too!

So there you have it. Our sitcom of a life! At least we don't take life too seriously. We have fun and we make fun of ourselves along the way!

A Small Confession

I have a small confession. I am currently in love with The Vanilla Ice Project. What the heck is this you ask? Well, let me just tell you. Do you remember the the person who is in charge of originally singing Ice Ice Baby? Well over the years, Vanilla Ice has taught himself in home renovation. He now has a hit show where is flips million dollar homes. Coming from a Vanilla Ice fan, you probably won't believe me when I say the show is actually really good. It is on DIY Network. I think you should all give it a try. I know my dad watches DIY non stop so he has probably seen it. haha Even Jeff stopped what he was doing to watch.

Now, Sherman on the other hand, didn't like it as much...
