Fred and cousins that marry cousins
Having recently returned from Mississippi we are enlightened. By our nieces that is. Kids are so darn smart. First off, before we left my sister jokingly said “so you’re off to the state where cousins marry cousins, eh?”. I made this comment to our nieces down there while visiting. Their reply, “Nooooo, Aunt Shana….That’s Arkansas”.
Next, we learned about Fred. We took the girls shopping and saw shirts everywhere with Fred written on it and learned about this kid who is making tons of money by….well, basically being annoying I guess. We promised the girls that as soon as we returned home we would watch a Fred Youtube video so here ya’ have it (I especially like the whole turn your head and cough part):
So I have to say that Fred IS annoying. But I also said that about Napolean Dynamite and he kind of grew on me after awhile. Hmmmm, wonder if this kid ever would? Doubtful.
Nice try
These past three weeks have been a whirlwind. To top it off Adam had a horrible cold but this past weekend he tried to help out by doing a load of laundry. I came home from seeing a patient in the ER to this….he left an entire pack of kleenex in his pocket!
The culprit....on the left that is
Pink EVERYWHERE you look, I mean EVERYWHERE!!
At least a couple of times each year Adam and I try to go to the theater, usually to see something from Broadway Across America. We’ve seen Grease, Stomp, Annie, etc. Last month we had tickets to a show and I told Adam about a day he needed to be sure to get off early so we could get to Omaha early enough. He didn’t ask any further questions, just simply replied “ok” knowing that this is just something we always do for fun.
So.
As we are driving towards the Orpheum Theater Adam casually asks what we are seeing and I tell him:
If there were not gazillions of cars surrounding us we probably would have stopped right there. Don’t get me wrong. Adam will watch girly movies with me any day of the week at home….because I like them but this put him a little over the top. He immediately started negotiations as to what “guy” type of thing he would get for going to this show.
Pink. Everywhere we turned. Starting several blocks away. Pink heels, pink umbrellas, pink coats, pink skirts, pink hats, pink feather boas, pink sun glasses, pink purses, pink pink pink. Not a guy in the bunch either. Imagine that! As we walk in they had the “Legally Blonde” special for a drink and guess what color it was? You’re right!!! PINK! They even sold pink feather boas if you forgot yours at home!
After we got settled we figured there were probably about 10% guys there. We had awesome seats. The show was amazing and so far my favorite (and…although he may not admit it, Adam says it is his second favorite!). It was actually very true to the movie so was hilarious. This was Elle:
She was very pink, as you can see and even had her dog, Bruiser with her. This picture quality is horrid as cameras were not allowed but we just had to take this somehow to show you how into being “pink” this lady was! Check her hat out!!!
Finally, one last picture Adam took of us…and I am laughing as I type this because I am realizing that even though this is a black and white pic…I am just now realizing that my fleece jacket was pink and brown!
Happy Birthday, My Love
Today marks the celebration of my wonderful Husband’s birth. As the past two weeks have been horrendously busy (we’ve been at home only 4 days total) I was doubtful I would even get a cake made for him. All he wanted was the infamous dirt cake, a Carter family tradition. I got the cake made but forgot the candles. Grrrr. Never fear~the lighter substituted well!
