And Yet Again We Make NO Sense

Because that's what awesome sisters like us do. We talk to one another and make no sense to the outside world. At least I don't think we do. I could be mistaken but I doubt it.

Example:

Me: ".... years ago. Well, actually it was like, what, 3 years ago....."

Misa: "YEARS ago was 3 years ago? Huh. I have underwear older than that..."

And then we ended up talking about the time my Dad and I got food poisoning when I was 8. We were driving from Texas to Arizona. And I thought I was going to die! Seriously. It was bad. That's the only time I remember ever seeing my Dad so sick.

And by sick I mean cannot move and when you do it's simply to vomit.

It was fabulous!

Then we talked about other memories we had from childhood and how my mom tried to teach my brother how to run cuz apparently he ran like his knees were tied together. Mind you, she tried to teach him this while my sister was "driving", as in coasting, the car right next to them and me riding shot-gun. (Gotta love the 80's and living in the middle of nowhere, literally). Oh, and did I mention the lamb tied to the bumper of the car so that it could get some exercise.

Talk about multi-tasking. My mom simultaneously taught my sister how to "drive", taught my brother how to run (so he didn't look like a girl doing it) and exercised the family lamb.

Or was it a sheep?

Either way, I didn't even know we had one when I was a kid.

One of the funniest convos we've had on the way to work. Which is unfortunate for you since I can't quite re-tell it in same manor as it was said, therefore it's probably not at all as funny to you as it was to me.

See, this is why it's probably better we have no witnesses to our conversations. It's just healthier for everyone all the way around.

Side note: my step-sister, Sharon, is a RIOT! Yesterday we determined that if we were to get together for any extended period of time we'd end up in jail. But it'd be ok cuz that's where the party would be and everyone there would love us. And then Senior Chief would bail us out.

I warned him about this future possibility and he said he'd start savin' for it now since I'm pretty sure it's just a matter of time.

Oh, imagine the ruckus we would cause..... me, Misa and Sharon let loose on some unsuspecting city...... Add our cousins Geri and Sarah in on this action and we'd be famous.

Seriously. They're the funniest people I know.

My Sister is the BEST and I'm an Idiot!

Seriously, Misa is for reals the bestest in the whole wide world!

She's my hero!!

I managed to lock myself out of my computer and couldn't get back in. I found a website where you can download a program that will unlock every computer set password but I, for the life of me, couldn't get it to work.

But Misa did and she totally saved the day.

I will never put another stupid password on my computer again!

But other than that life is the same as usual. Work and school and sister convos that don't make sense to anyone else. Yup. Thats about it!

Oh. Wait, I forgot the baby boom!

My nephew and his fiance welcomed their first son on March 11th. One of my best friends and her husband welcomed their first daughter on March 25th. My niece and her husband welcomed their first son sometime in the past few days, I'm not sure on the exact day. AND one of my other best friends and her husband welcomed their baby girl yesterday, March 28th.

All beautiful babies, and no, I'm not prejudiced at all! :) All babies and mommies are healthy, happy and doing well.

I'm so thankful that they're all here and healthy and everyone is doing good. Now if only I could see them for myself and meet the babies in person I'd be even happier! But I wont complain, it's enough to know they're all safely here now.

Yay for babies!

Correction: Yay for other people havin babies!!

The End

My sister likes to blog the stupid/random/awesome/funny-as-heck stuff I say when we're alone but she doesn't very often give the story behind my randomness.

Yes, I did say mid conversation "I feel like I live in a snow globe" but it's because the way the snow was coming down this morning really did look like a snow globe after you shake the crap out of it and let the snowy stuff settle again.

I can't help that I'm random but goodness, at least let people know I'm not completely mental!

Jeez!!

Just A Blog

I feel very content today.

I woke up and made coffee, did dishes and threw in another load of laundry but that's not why I feel content. Trust me, I'm not one to enjoy cleaning. LOL. Not that it was really cleaning, so much as doing things to help around the house. But that's besides the point.....

I'm not really sure where the feeling is coming from to be honest. Nothing has changed in my life recently to cause the feeling.

Although, the video Misa and I made for our awesome step-dad for his bday is pretty good! If I do say so myself, and I do. :) It was fun and it was especially awesome to hear him laugh as he watched our goofy celebration of his bday.

Maybe I'm just happy that I'm one week away from completing this block of classes and I'll definitely be glad to be done working with one of my teammates. She's made this block of class hell. No joke. I avoid logging in to class as much as possible because I can't stand to read her messages. She's rude, negative, selfish and spouts off at the mouth without thinking.

I dunno. Whatever the cause I'm thankful for it. For so long I was on a roller coaster of emotion and I feel more balance now. Living here in Boston has really been good for me.

I love it here.

Snow Day!

We're snowed in today.

Literally.

It started snowing yesterday but it wasn't too bad. Then we woke up this morning and BAM, have some snow. Or a lot of it actually.

I don't know how much we've gotten but it's been enough to get the car stuck (oops!) and make looking out the window a task in itself. The news reports very low visibility on the roads and apparently the Governor asked that everyone who doesn't need to drive in to work to stay home until this afternoon when it's expected to clear up. But that's according to the weather reports and we all know that weather reports aren't exactly reliable or right on.

So Misa and I are snowed in today and watching it continuously come down outside.

I wonder how long it'll take the City to come and plow our street.... last time we got a blizzard it took them the entire weekend to come and clear our street. Now it's a wait and see kinda thing. I don't have a lot of faith that they'll be here anytime soon.

I think I like snow. :)

Who Knew?

About a week ago Misa and I decided to go low-carb in addition to our exercise routine.

So far it hasn't been TOO bad.

Today for dinner we made fried tomatoes, fried eggplant, artichoke (which we forgot to eat) and chicken stuffed with broccoli and spinach.

It was all YUMMY! but my favorite part was the fried tomatoes. Those were so so so so GOOD!

And super easy to make.

The "breading" is Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can flavor it up any way you want, I'm sure, but it was perfect that way.

Dinner today made our lifestyle change not seem so bad. :) (I don't want to say diet cuz I don't intend on going back. I'll miss bread but I know as soon as I start eating the way I used to I'll gain every bit of weight I've lost right back).

Oh, and dessert is mini-cheesecake. Mmmm...... I can't wait!

I'm so glad I live with Betty Crocker!
