It's news to me

Good news and Bad news:
A conversation overheard at our dinner table this evening:
(Hunter has a friend who is a little...ahem...more knowledgeable than our kids.)

Friend:
The difference between a beer bong and beer pong is that a bong is like a funnel thing with a tube attached and then you drink from it, and beer pong is a game.

Corrine:
Have you seen the movie Twister?

Friend:
No.

Corrine:
Well, it's kinda like that except not really because there's a funnel cloud. And on that movie, IT'S SO COOL! they actually chase the tornados and they're F5's!

Friend:
Huh.

That's my girl.

Good news:
I bought a new purse and wallet today for 5 buckaroos. Total.

Bad news:
There isn't any relating to that topic.

Good news:
Laynee slept in a big girl bed last night.

Bad news:
Same thing. The big girl bed. She's not ready to be a big girl. Wait. I'm not ready for her to be a big girl.

Good news:
I did not buy Twilight-a. I repeat. I DID NOT BUY TWILIGHT-A.

Bad news:
Tedward is calling me...

Good news:
I am proving to certain people that, contrary to their belief, I am not addicted to it.

Bad news:
In my attempt to do so, I am becoming very confused.
I want to own it, but only because I think it's a hilarious movie and I actually quite liked some parts of it.
I don't want to own it because the acting is horrible and I am not at all happy with some of the people they cast as main characters.
But...I want to own it. If I buy it though, it's like I'm admitting that I do love it when I really only like it. I like it as a friend. I kinda want to be free to see other people, ya know?

Ooooh. You know what would solve this problem for me? If someone else bought it and then gave it to me as a gift. Then I could be all, Hey. Dude. This was given as a gift. It would be kinda rude to take it back to the store and exchange it. That would be like a hard slap on the back of their hand.
And we all know how I feel about slapping.

I love that you got a purse and wallet for only $5. Deals like that make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
And if I could afford it, I would send you a copy of Twilight, I havn't even purchased one for myself yet.
Right now, $17 seems like a lot of money to me...hence the reason I get warm and fuzzy inside for a $5 purse and wallet combo.
And yes, time is flying by too quickly, the little ones need to slow down just a bit.

Corrineeeee is so cute. I really really want to see Twilight-a. Since we're going to watch it together this weekend, I was thinking that I should just buy it...right? It we rent it, it would be like six dollars. If I buy it, it would be like...a little more than that...but who wants to waste six dollars? And what if it found it's way into your suitcase somehow? You could be like, "um...somebody totally lost their Twilight-a DVD, so I might as well keep it so that I don't waste it. Who wants to waste in an economy like this?" Tedward.
I mean Temily.

Oh, what a sad world we live in when little kids know what a bong is. *sigh* But go Corrine! What a doll!
Hooray! I should be home all day Wednesday. Jack has school and will be gone from 10:45 to 1:30, but the bus picks him up at our driveway so I don't have to leave at all. And then we have a little birthday party for Ella at 7:00 that night upstairs. Just give me a call or stop by. I'll be around somewhere. : )

And Corrine gets the medal for her innate ability to create power diversions. Corporations and presidential spokespeople would pay big money for her skills. Not only has your Twilight post been hilarious, I'm still laughing at the MWAHAHAHAHA posted above.

I wonder if my man will ever grow his hair out? Don't you think that when a man has hair that is thick and rich like a man's hair should be, it should be long? No man-bun style though. Bleh. Kinda like this... But seriously. Who didn't have a crush on Grizzly Adams?  Hunta boi is playing football again. This year, the 2016-17 school year, will be his last year playing high school football. Say what?!? For reals. He's a senior y'all. A SENIOR. Can you hear my panic? Did you just see my eyeballs pop out of my head, roll across the floor, gather dust mites and come a rollin' back to me? That means we (I) only have a limited time left with him at home. The days are slipping away like seconds on a clock. Much as I try, I can't seem to stop that mean old man, Father Time, and his clock that is tick-tick-tocking away. Though I must say, we are SO proud of who he is growing up to be. Of who he is today. And we really are very excited to see where his lif...

I know I've told you before, but I'll say it again. I love to get my hair done. There's just something about having someone else play with my hair that puts me into a hypnotic state. It's soooo relaxing, and I love the feeling of fresh, soft, just done-by-someone-else hair. It's also something that I don't do often for 2 reasons: 1) I'm lazy and don't like having to maintain my hair. 2) It can get pretty pricey. It may be because I fell into one of those hypnotic states that the following disaster occurred. I guess my first clue of impending doom should have been when my stylist decided to get her nails done. At the same time that I showed up for my appointment. Now, I'm a compassionate person, I didn't think it was a big deal, so I shrugged it off, and waited patiently for her to finish. My next sign on the road to "bad hair-dom" was when she asked the stylist next to her what colors were used on my hair previously, because she j...
