GROSGRAIN MINI STORE OPENING NOVEMBER 6!!!! AND BIG PREVIEW GIVEAWAY!!!!

GROSGRAIN MINI STORE OPENING NOVEMBER 6!!!! AND BIG PREVIEW GIVEAWAY!!!!

So I saw this on my sister-in-law's blog and being totally curious I decided to check it out. This outfits are soo cute! My niece would looke absolutely adorable wearing them. It even makes me want to sew, and that's a pretty big deal considering it took me like 3 hours to try and make a simple nursing cover. Now your wondering why I (single & childless) would be making a nursing cover. Hey, it was the ward Super Saturday and I had to do a project and Jenny did need one so I decided to join her. Anyway, you should all take a look!

How to be a positive influence...

I came home tonight (with Kim) to find that Kevin & Keith & 3 other boys had been roaming the neighborhood playing door bell ditch. They were begging for toilet paper. So I did what any responsible adult would do - I gave them 2 rolls & told them not to waste them or get caught. It was drizzling and any veteran toilet paperer knows that helps make the clean up terrible! Unfortunately Kim & I were not impressed with their 1st effort, so in an effort to contribute to their education we had to go along with them to house #2. The next 2 pictures are not the best but you can get the point...


Now, at this point we ran out of toilet paper so we made a run to the store for 20 more rolls and headed out again, this time with Sara & Shannon in tow. Unfortunately due to the unexpected arrival of our targets neighbor we were force to flee before accomplishing our mission. A video of this incident will hopefully be released shortly. The team was forced to flee through a muddy ditch and through the woods. Unfortunately we lost Kim, but luckily 40 minutes later we were reunited. It was a tad scary (being in the woods in the dark) but totally fun. We plan to complete our mission!

THE BIG TEST!!!

PLEASE READ BEFORE FREAKING OUT!!!! Ok, so my good friend Kim missed "that time" for the last two months. There were a few possible reasons for this: 1) The whole "Virgin Mary" scenario was about to be repeated. 2) She was about to become Saint Kimberly because it would have to be a miracle for a virgin to be preggers. 3) She had turned into some medical anomaly. After 2 months of tons of teasing and questioning looks from family & friends I convinced Kim to take a preggers test, just for fun of course, and I being a supportive friend even took one with her. Naturally my test was a big negative. Kim's was also a big negative, but apparently peeing on a stick can be complicated because it took her 3 tests to do it right! Oops, maybe I wasn't suppose to mention that part?!

0 to 60 in 8 seconds....oops?

So it has recently been brought to my attention by the Montgomery County Police that these signs are NOT posted as suggestions for less capable drivers. Apparently they are mandatory limits. Normally this would still not be much of a deterrent for me BUT notice the little sign at the bottom. Photo Enforced. How often do we pass these signs without really seeing them because they are so common? It was quite a surprise to recieve not one, or two, but about 5 photo tickets in the mail. I found it a bit rude, like I'm being spied upon. I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling this way. What is worse is that they post photo enforced signs where there are actually no cameras - that is sooo cheating! If the police want to give me a ticket, put down that donut & do it the manly way!
