Sighting!


Spotted:
There is a man roaming around campus that looks just like Mr. Moseby off the Disney show The Suite Life of Zack & Cody!
yes... I used to watch the show. Except they we're cute and little and not living on a boat! Don't judge me!
But anyway! yes. "Mr. Moseby" attended the same dance event as I did.
Annnd he was wearing a fancy suit and did Mr. Moseby like faces and hand gesturers! (see picture to right)
I stared at him for the longest time and had a strange urge to ask him for his autograph. But I didn't want to lose my place in the ticket line and after long thought I concluded that it wouldn't make sense an autograph of a famous person look-a-like.
So I continued to stare at him.

Anyway, random random.


Hit me baby one more time

Dear husband,


So for the past few weeks now I've noticed I've been craving to listen to the oldies.
We're not talking about Ella Fitzgerald old but 1990's old.
Like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Spice Girls and Justin TImberlake old (well JT's newer stuff.)
You know… the classics like Hit me baby one more time, Sexy back and Toxic?
Pure pop.So last night while making these delicious muffins I had a dance party.
By myself.
Well… I guess Artie was there.
but that doesn't count.
He was only there because he thought my arms and feet were toys flailing around the room.
It was fun! Took some stress off!
I'm sad you missed out!
although.. I cant really see you dancing to Britney.
Actually…
yes. yes I can!


Love your pop wife


P.s I think this sudden 'pop' craze came from the Glee's Britney episode.

Roots.


Dear husband,
I don't know about you but I'm ready for a change of scenery.
Somewhere that we've never visited.
I love potato-a-go-go land but at the same time I'm ready to move on. I'm ready to plant some roots.
And I don't know where I'd like to live...
actually we both don't know where we want to live.


Somewhere with a warm beach would be nice...
But I also want some land so we can have a garden, some chickens and a cow.
We've both decided on no big cities and that it must be sunny and warm at least 300 days out of the year.
So.. theres only one place I could think of.
Hawaii.
Perhaps Kaui?
It's not as crowded as O'ahu
but just as beautiful.
But.. there are a lot of pros and cons about living there.
I guess we'll just have to pray and see where the Lord wants us to go.

Love your paradise dreamin' wife

To my boys!

Dear Lakers,

Your 8-0!
You guys are doing a wonderful job! (As always)

and I wish I've had the time to sit down and watch you guys play.

I know... I'm a horrible fan/pretend coach/pretend part-owner.

The husband and I don't have a T.V (by choice)

and I've tried to schedule my workouts around 2nd half so I could watch you while i'm on the elliptical- but it's not the same and I'm kinda blind and really can only see yellow black blurbs running around.
I try right?
I do check and refresh your website at least 500 times during game day.
Love your laking #1 fan/pretend coach/pretend part-owner

P.s Mrs. Jensen who is also a pretend part-owner and coach, is i'm sure watching the games. So basically I'm watching them too.

Winter Monday!

Dear hubsters,
Well.
We had one whole day of beautiful fall weather and then Mother nature decided to dump 4 inches of snow on us.
Winter is here!
and only 46 day's till Christmas! Yay!!
Artie loves the snow! He loves to gallop in it and tries to eat the snow flakes! It's pretty precious.
We should build a snowman! or an igloo!!
Time to get cute boots and jackets so I don't look like a man with tiny legs!

Love snow bunny

Fall weekend!

Fall is here!
To celebrate we went to Beaver Dick park(beautiful park, unfortunate name)

We brought along some family, friends and dogs.



























The colors we're perfect.
The day was perfect!
well.. except for when a squirrel bit Artie in the lip…. As you can imagine, it wasn't pleasant. And we now think he has a fear of small furry animals.
But besides that little incident it was still a blast though!

Heh heh

Dear hubby,
I love Artie but... lately.. well..he's been a royal pain.

Today he...
-Thought the school newspaper sucked (as most of us do) and decided to eat it.
-Artie's tummy didn't like it so he threw it up.
-Then he re-ate the barf before I had time to react. (I almost puked myself seeing him do this)
Then...
-Artie decided that It was a waste of time to allow me to do homework.
-So he persistently tried to bite my fingers while I was typing up a paper.
-He also tried to jump in my lap a few hundred times (he's to uncoordinated so half the time he fell on his back.)
-annnd he would try to bite the pages of my nutrition book every time I turned a page.

I then took his advice(to stop doing hw) and went to the gym to blow off some stress (he was currently a major stressor, which is so kind of him)

I came home from the gym and found he..
-Loves microbiology so much that he chewed the corner of the book cover off. He's obviously very involved in his reading.
-He also likes to snoop and chewed on some important papers/memories that he some how reached. He must secretly be a ninja because those were on the 3rd shelf.
-Then i guess he was jealous of the hubs and decided to chew a few pages of his amazing flip book he made for me. (I was uber tick at this one)
-Oh! And he lllllooooves burts bees chapstick! He went through a tube in one day. And now has minty breath.

I then sat down to try to accomplish some homework, but he wanted to play and started to train for his agility obstacle course competition. He ran laps around the house at record breaking speeds for about 10 minutes straight.
Thats when I snapped. My neck tweaked and my eye started to twitch uncontrollably. The stress that I have been trying to keep under control finally went through the roof.
My mondays exams. My program development project and my Research paper all caught up to me. Was I to get anything done?
Artie was the straw that broke the camels back.
I dragged him to the bathroom, locked him in and then broke down.
We're so not ready for kids.
I can barley handle a dog.
Love your super-stressed-out-trying-to-stay-positive wife

p.s I love Artie. He's a typical puppy.

Curious george

My husband is a curious man who loves to learn.
As a result he knows how almost everything works.
Seriously.
Not even kidding.
annnnnnnd
He knows a lot of random facts.
He can tell you how this works, who conquered what, why this does that and how this came to be.
It actually comes in handy because a lot of the times I'm curious at how something works, or who ruled what!
He's amazingly smart.
Just reason 598,887,438,320 why I love him so.
{p.s I think he secretly memorizes random facts and uses them to oooh and ahhh me.
But I have yet to prove my theory.}
And I'm just curious- but how did clapping start? and when?
A question to ask the husband when he returns from work!


Happy happy happy

Here's to happiness!!

9. Being married to a Mr. Fix-it/a man who knows 139,485,993,032 random facts
10. The smell of the forest
