9 things i could live without

1. girls who wear backless/sleeveless shirts with regular bras.




2. girls who wear backpacks AND purses to school...is it necessary? can you not fit your phone and wallet in your backpack also? are you really trying to make a fashion statement with a huge a backpack? I DONT GET IT!! someone please explain it to me


3. chubby girls with belly button rings. I am not a fan of belly button rings in general, but if you have a hardcore stomach i can let it pass....but if are all flab, just say no.




4. wedge or platform flipflops. im irritated that these thing were ever invented and that girls are dumb enough to wear them.




5. people that have a MILLION profile pictures on facebook or albums that are dedicated to just pictures of them....uh are you kidding me?

... no picture because i didnt want to point some of my friends on facebook out...but they are out there!


6.when people crop themselves out of an original image and post BOTH pictures...just choose one! if you just like you in that picture that is totally cool, crop the shiz out of it! just dont put both pictures..i feel like you are saying f you to whoever didnt make the cut in the second picture! i made one as an example :)





7. everything on this list

9. this woman



...alright that is all for now...feel free to add your own!!!

The future Mary Cray

So a word to the wise. Don't volunteer to do anything, unless you have done it before. Let me explain. My friend, Karlie Jean Cornell, is pregnant with twins. TWINS! (a boy and a girl) and i was trying to think of something I could do that would be fun and special for her baby shower. Well michael's mom is straight up jesus christ at making/decorating sugar cookies, and i always thought it would be fun to do something like that. So silly little me told karlie that i would be making pink and blue giraffe sugar cookies for her shower (please note that i have NEVER tried decorating sugar cookies before, but i guess that didn't matter to me at the time) so i was getting all excited about these cookies because, in my head, they were super cute and so i was telling everybody! so then karlies mom (who is also my boss) asked if i could make them for the work baby shower as part of the shower decorations/food (sure! no prob)...and later in the week she asked if i could make them for a separate shower that their family was doing (uhh maybe i should try to make these things before i say yes to all this)
so that weekend before the shower i tried to make them. two words. EPIC FAIL. they were awful, i mean truly atrocious. i tried decorating five of them and i was getting so frusterated with them being ugly that i ate them all (hence no pictures)

So i went into work the next day and i was just like...uhh i cant make these cookies, like seriously i suck at this. but i was comforted by very nice co-workers that had some faith in me. so i took the day before the shower off so i had all day to try and make these suckers. it took over 18 hours, but i did it.

this was try number 1:


this was try number 2:


ok so obviously neither of these looked good...so i made a decisions...no backround frosting, just outlining

ok this is not too bad:



hey this might work!



so almost 100 cookies later...and a very messy kitchen






Voila!






maybe one day i will be ask good as my mother in law...one can dream anyway :)

little quirks

although michael and I have known each other for a very long time, there are little quirks about him that i had no idea, and im sure the same was for him. I thought i would share that with you:

Me:
-i leave bobby pins and q tips EVERYWHERE
- i have no problem using michaels toothbrush
-i sometimes forget to flush the toilet
- if i eat a piece of chocolate in a foil wrapper i always ball it up and throw it somewhere. this drives michael crazy haha whenever he see's it he makes me track down my wrapper and properly throw it away.
-i pick my boogers, i used to flick them but i have learned that dogs will eat anything. win win.

Michaels:
-he will not let me be in the bathroom with him while he is brushing his teeth... i know.
-he will not let me go to bed without him and he wont go to bed without me. almost everynight this is our conversation:
me "baby i need to go to bed"
michael "its only 11:40"
me"i know but i am tired"
michael "please, just one more (insert tv episode here)"
me "fine"
-after he buys something new at the store, he CANNOT wait to go home to open it. He is literally opening things in the car (even though we live across the street from target, which is where we get most of his new toys)
-he spends real money on fake world of warcraft money. I will never win this battle.
-he likes to undress in the living room instead of the bedroom
-whenever he calls for me at my work he 95% of the time pretends he is a customer and tries to trick me. it never works :)

oh the things you learn while married :)

now you may be confused by the blog title...let me explain.
2 days before michael and i are going to california for christmas we were a bit hungry and going to go get some dinner. My parking spot is right next to the dumpster area thing (cinderblock fort with 2 dumpsters inside it.) So we are walking to the car and its freezing outside and lightly snowing and we pass the dumpsters...and we hear something whining. and we stop for a second and then we hear it again. so we decided to investigate, and follow the sound. that sound leads us to inside of the cinderblock fort and inside right next to the dumpster is a cardboard box where the whining is coming from. and we look inside it and there are 2 puppies. PUPPIES!!!! and they were freezing :( so michael and i grabbed one each and we were trying to warm them up. We waited around for a second, hoping that someone would come claim them (because we like to think that no one with a soul would throw away puppies.) Nobody came by, so then we went walking around with them, asking random strangers walking around if they knew who these puppies belonged to or where they came from. no luck. no one knew. so michael and i were forced to accept that some heartless pathetic person threw away these babies. we were disgusted...but we were in love. but there were 2! and we already had a dog, we couldn't have 3 dogs, 2 people, and 1 snake living in our 600 sq foot apartment. So we set off trying to find homes for these lovelies. Again we walked around my complex telling people what happened and if they were interested. One was, she said she was willing to take one and couldnt believe someone would throw them out! so she took the smaller one. By that time michael and i were freezing (and still hungry) so we decided to take the chubby one home and she can stay with us for a while, maybe until we found a home for her. BUT we were leaving for california and had a ton of stuff do to and we knew we didnt have time to look for someone for her before we left. So we decided she would just come to california with us. but on that trip we fell in love with her, i mean sure we loved her before, but now we were really head overs heals for her. EVERONE was. even my older sister mal, who HATES animals, ESPECIALLY dogs because she is allergic to them, loved her. Olive slept with mal the whole way to california. She has never peed on anyone, she sleeps with harvey in his kennel, if there is a pee pad set out, she will go on it. she plays hard for about 5 minutes and then just stops and falls dead asleep. she was the best decision we made and now she is ours. and even though it is so sad what happened to her, we are so grateful that it did because we have her now. and everyone who has met her is jealous that we do, she is that great:)
