Watch out I might tag you next!

Back in the beginning of December I was totally blown over to hear that the adorable, victorious, unquenchable, Barbaloot instilled an award on me!
One where I am assigned the task of listing five things I love. But now the month has flown by and I have not lived up to my expectations!
As I never do whats expected of me, I'm going to list five of the most "interesting" things that have happened this month. I hope you find them as interesting as I do.


1)Liza has officially denounced the dog as Bullet. He is now officially, Shut-it.
SHUT-IT GET DOWN! SHUT-IT COME HERE! aw, I wuv yoo too Shut-it!


2)When ever I sing along to the song Little Drummer boy I start to cry always at the line "I played my best for him", little did I know that Mae has been watching me closely and memorized the song. So when we were karaoke-ing at Tim's parents, she was able to get up w/ Daddy and sing it with him! At that line I caught her sneaking a peek at me, she smiled a traitor smile when she saw I was balling! Little twerp.

3)At my Grandmother's beautiful, museum-like, anti-children house, Liza knocked over a antique oil lamp. (One that looked like one the ten virgins would have carried.)
Luckily Daddy caught it before any damaged was done. But a few minutes later I heard a deafening crash from the kitchen.
Looking around I saw my sister about to cry. While she was feeding her some cereal, Abbie (6 months) grabbed the glass bowl and knocked it on the floor.
Everyone was silent for a second, until I threw my fists in the air and said,
"YES! NOT MY KID!"
I consoled my sister by telling her the next story.










4)Mae is just her cover name, her real name is Super Girl. The child has untold strength! For such a cute blonde little girl she is freakishly strong!

My in laws couch is a big thing that has stood the test of time. Both the ends of the couch recline like a lazy boy would. But the middle is just a regular piece of couch.

Daddy was reclined on one end and Pop-pop one the other, Mae wanted to be just like them and sit in the middle and recline. But the darn foot thing wouldn't come up!

So she pulled with all her might until she ripped the sucker off!
Were talking ripped out screws, and torn in half wood!!!!!

She was standing there holding the gargantuan piece of mutilated couch, when Daddy found his voice and full named her very loudly!

She ran to the cover of Grandma who was about to die laughing.
When I finally found my voice I asked her what was so funny?!

She said, "I get a new couch!"







5)I know the next one should be about Liza but I cant leave this out, its classic Mae.

At my Grandparents house our family was reunited with cousins of my Grandfather whom we had not seen since I was about six years old.
They are really sweet awesome people, and I was having fun getting to know them all over again. So I wasn't paying attention when this strange event occurred.


Mae : Hi! What's your name?

Little boy cousin about the same age as Mae: Scooter, what's yours?

Scooter's Grandpa: Oh I know what her name is! Its Bob!

Mae (laughing) : NO!

Scooter's Grandpa: Is it Roy?

Mae: Nooo

Scooter's Grandpa: Is it Bill?

Mae: Nope!

Scooter's Grandpa: Is it Dave?

Mae: NO!

Scooter's Grandpa: Is it Cornelius?

Mae: No way!

Scooter's Grandpa: Well I just cant figure out what it is then! I just don't know! What IS your name?

Mae: You know my name!

Scooter's Grandpa: No I don't, what is it?

Mae: Its Sleeping Beauty of course!

Scooter: Oh okay, Mommy can I go play with Sleeping Beauty?

Unfortunately for Scooter, to this very day, he still believes her name is Sleeping Beauty.

ABC About Me

I made the best mistake ever by asking who Barbaloot was tagging, and got tagged!
This was fun! I mean it, and I want Jess, Nicole, and Kitchenditcher to go town! You've all been tagged!

A- Attached or Single?
I'd have to say very attached. Funny story though, Tim had a bad dream and woke up gave me a hug and said, "Please don't ever leave". I laughed at the silliness of his dream and told him I'd never leave however I'd be more inclined to stay if he bought me the kickin', red 6' heels I saw last night. He just laughed, I don't think I'm going to get them.

B- Best Friend?
Paris Hilton is, like, totally my new BFF. It's SO cool. We spend tons of time talking about important things like which is better: the old NKOTB or the new?
Technically, I'm not, like, supposed to say anything till the season finale airs...so, like, keep my secret. K?
I'm ditto-ing Barb on this one and if you dont believe me check this out!

Personally I love to devour no bake cookie's! But according to everyone else I can make a totally wicked pie.
