The other day one of my coworkers nonchalantly said that he had a cat... and a dog. A cat AND a dog?!!! I promptly informed him that you can't be a cat person and a dog person. You have to pick one or the other.
He informed me that he was just appreciating all forms of women.
My ear doth hear a strange sound... oh yeah... it was Bryan still talking.
He went on to tell me that some women are needy, always begging for attention, need tons of affirmation, love to play (again... attention), always jumping in your lap, and are sad and depressed when you leave.
And by saying "you leave" I believe he was referring to himself for in the eyes of Bryan he is God's gift to women... and animals apparently.
Then again other women are stand-offish, independent, will scratch you when they feel like it, pretend that you are not there and like to poop in private.
There you have it folks... the complete guide to understanding women.... go buy yourself a cat and a dog. Before you know it, you will have women eating out of the palm of your hand... literally. Just ask Bryan!!!

Nighttime Lights
As we were sitting at the dining room table after playing a game tonight, Doug saw police lights through the kitchen window. Jeny, Doug and I promptly did our civic duty and became gawking bystanders peering through three different slats in the blinds (according to height).
As we were diligently observing the spectacle, one of the two police officers literally kicked in the door. Gasps and awes from the audience. There was one woman outside at the time. We watched as they ran into the house and started flipping on lights looking about. The ambulance and the fire truck showed up as they were going through the house. The people in the house came outside and picked up their groceries...what????? Now we were totally confused! Jeny, Doug and I all had different conclusions to the mystery on Stewart Loop although we came up with the stories as we were watching and before the last bit of info seen at the bottom of this post.
Jeny's story of the not so graceful old lady:
Jeny believes that there was an old woman inside and she fell down the stairs. She had locked the door and was not able to get up when her family got home so the daughter, just arriving from the grocery store, called the police and they kicked in the door to get to her quickly.
Doug's story of the child stabbing:
Doug believes that there was a small child inside who was upstairs when his mother got home. When he heard her knocking he started to run down the stairs and as he took the second to last step he tripped and stabbed himself with the knife that he was playing with. He was trying to move quickly so as to put the knife away so he would not get in trouble. The mother called the police who kicked the door down to get to him faster.
My story of the intruder:
I believe that as the woman got home she noticed a few signs of disturbance outside of her home... the front light was no longer on although she was sure that she had left it on and the two car toys had been moved of the small patio and placed to the left of the front door. She then heard some rummaging about inside and, not wanting to take any chances, called the police and waited for them to arrive for she was scared there might be an intruder. When they arrived they felt that it was necessary to kick down the door so as to take the intruder by surprise.
Reality:
Then the fire truck left while it seemed that the police filed a report. A woman was carried on a stretcher to the ambulance without alarm or rushing. She seemed fine but left in the ambulance without the lights on and then the police left as well. Not quite as exciting as we imagined but the reality was a much better ending to the story than Doug and I came up with although Jeny's story was completely plausible.

Potbelly Anyone?
Last night Jeny fed Adler two muffins before dinner so that he would not eat very much pizza... without Jesse's knowledge. Adler usually eats three or four pieces and she wanted him to be a little more healthy. As the guys got home with the pizza Jeny and I left to go out to dinner. When we got back Adler did not have on a shirt and was running around. Jesse pointed to his stomach to draw attention to it when we realized, much to Jenyfer and I's horror, Adler's stomach was twice it's usual size and HE HAD AN OUTIE!!!!
Yes my friend, just as a pregnant woman in the later stages of gestation.... his belly button had popped out. font-After we had left the house he continued to eat a serving of yogurt, two slices of pizza and two hard boiled eggs! He threw up twice and went to bed early... poor thing... although it did not phase him a bit as he continued running around and laughing. Man that kid can eat!

Oh so Long Lines and Lot's of Traffic
We are in Maryland right now visiting Jess,and the boys. We have been going downtown to the D.C. mall for the last two days and have been in lines and lost at least 30 times as long as we have been enjoying exhibits and museums. Jess and I got up this morning and waited in a line for tickets to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. We left the house at 5:30 and Jess dropped me off at 6:30 so that he could drive around and find a parking spot. Only 700 people can go in a day and each person can get 4 tickets for a specified time throughout the day. The line was extremely long and when the booth opened at 8:00... over 2/3 of the line was turned away. I felt terrible for them!!!! The Bureau was awesome though. I saw millions and millions of dollars while I was there... I might be exaggerating slightly but you would not appreciate the story as much if I didn't.
In the National Museum of Natural History there is a section for Western Culture. The first display is of a human skeleton grabbing onto the horns of a goat skeleton... man taming the wild! As Doug walked up to the display next to me I, very calmly and with a slight hint of awe, told him that they dug up the remains of the two specimens exactly as they were displayed in the exhibit. I then tried to turn very slowly with a straight face while he stared with the most tender and trusting look at the display saying "Really? That is so cool!" I guess I did not turn fast enough cause he punched me before my face was completely hidden. I laughed so hard I disturbed all of the reverent exhibit observers around me but I could just not contain myself!!!
Doug and I got incredibly lost on the way home. I thought it was kinda funny but Doug definitely did not! After a long trip to see D.C. in it's entirety we are now home and Jen and I are going grocery shopping.

Pictures from the honeymoon
And sooo......
This is a little on the late side but better late than never... I guess???
We went to Amelia Island in Florida and it was beautiful. They happened to be drudging right out the back door of our bed and breakfast but what is a memory without an interesting story attached?!
He had just called me Jezebel for having painted toenails and exposed ankles
Leftovers was on the menu
Uh... no comment!
This was what was out our back door after you stepped over the piping.
After lunch one day.
I think Morgan and Jimmy wrote this... take a guess who wrote each part!!!

Shocking
We are all in Florida right now visiting some relatives and going to Sea World tomorrow. On the way here we stopped at Boston Market to eat dinner. I had just taken Bren to the bathroom and was headed back to our table when Doug turns around and grabs the front of my shirt in a not quite so appropriate area as he asked "what is that?" in a loud voice as we were standing next to the table.
I was so taken aback that I had no idea what to say. Noelle and I just looked at in amazement and horror. Apparently there was a large wet spot on the front of my shirt, compliments of the drool doctor, and he was wondering what the spot was and had not realized what area he had grabbed!!!

Wedding Pictures
These are only a few of the wedding pictures but Doug has them all on his computer and I figure a few is better than none!!!!
The day of the wedding was amazing. Most people said that it would fly by and that we would not get to enjoy it... they were wrong!!! I was able to relax and enjoy my friends and family all day long. This was due to everyone's efforts to make things go smoothly and also to all the planning that we had done ahead.
The ceremony was beautiful. Doug cried when I walked down the aisle and then seemed to be a little tense as I took my place beside him. So I proceeded to play thumb war with my unsuspecting victim (we play it all the time) and won easily. I smiled beautifully as I whispered "sweetie...I won!" I watched the reality of the situation dawn on his face as I fiercely choked back the laughter. I would like to say that the game loosened him up but I think that it only distracted him further.
The reception (I will post pictures later) was the best I have ever been to. Imagine that... I am biased about my own wedding.
The plan was to leave the reception on Doug's jet ski. I had bought white pants and a shirt for this very purpose... cant ride a jet ski wearing a wedding dress! As I ran into the bathroom to change into my "riding" clothes I was horrified to find that I had not packed a bra (my dress was a corset itself). Now, this might be something that would happen to most people but I am a planner and planners do not forget very important articles of clothing such as a bra.
The shirt that I had bought for the occasion was very thin and we were to run down to the lake... not the right circumstances for winging it!
I left the bathroom in search of one of my bridesmaids to steal the necessary equipment for running but I bumped into my adopted mother who happens to be a very proper, genteel southern woman instead. This is obviously only a facade to hide the crazy things that she does.
Now this woman is one of my favorite people in the world but this day I was truly shocked by her behavior. She proceeded to ask me what size I wore. I kept telling her that I needed to find one of my bridesmaids. I finally told her what size and she, with slight chuckle, said "you can have mine."
I laughed and we went back to the bathroom where my mother was waiting. I quickly changed and found my husband to make our departure. It was successfully carried out and the poor woman (who I have very carefully not named) finished out the night bra-less with none the wiser.

Nostalgia
I have been reading some of my previous posts. I am now overcome with nostalgic feelings about blogging. How I miss blogging. I know that nobody reads my blog and that the few who did quit as soon as I slowed down to about one post a month. No, I don't blog for the sake of others reading what I have to say. I blog because I truly love going back and reading about my experiences in life, my thoughts, my perceptions and just how darn funny I am!!!
I am sure that I have said before that I think that "You are the funniest person that you know!" I believe this wholeheartedly and I laugh out loud every time I read my posts from the past.
Blogging to me is what a journal is to others. I hope that I will get back to it one day so that I can have these little snippets of who I am throughout my life as we are ever changing and growing!
