developments

well melissa and i are bad at this blog.  

here are some recent developments in our past.  melissa competed in miss america in the final week of october.  she proudly represented the state of delware.  i did security.

i bought a sweater vest and melissa wanted EVERYTHING at EVERY STORE.  just kidding.  girls clothes are just more expensive so it seems like everything.  my advice for today: be a boy, it's cheaper.

below: melissa post miss america pageant. stuck in her dress.

 

above: me.  scary on halloween.

melissa is assistant stage manager- apparently it's a realization of her longest career dream.  congratulations. i am still banking.  and making bank.  for the past week i've been on a streak of accomplishment with my sales goals.  because i'm part time I should get one sale each day, but I've had four everyday the past four weeks.  it's making up for my lackluster performance in september.

also.  brandon left on his mission.  bye child.  he's been gone for almost a month.  we miss him.

CLENCHER

Well Melissa had her wisdom teeth out recently. She returned to the oral surgeon for a follow up check. He told her that she had a muscular disorder from CLENCHING too much. HAHAHA. Clencher. She needs to relax because she has knots in her cheek muscles. So now whenever she has to fill out health history or I have to fill out health issues in the family, we will mark the "other" box and say excessive clenching. So extreme that it causes muscular disorders. Now she's reading Oliver Twist really loud in a terrible accent. It's not her fault her jaw ruins her accent. Too much clenching I guess.

Quote of the day from Melissa: "Hey, did I tell you that mom invited me back into her womb the other day?"

Runner up: "You know what I just realized: Angel is a vegetarian. That's probably why she had our sega games for so long."

first day

tomorrow is melissa's first day of school. first day jitters. first day pitters. thats what she has and will have. no more sleeping. i hope she has her outfit laid out already!!!

she was finishing her summer reading recently and cmae across the word "chronic." after asking what it meant, i said it means to have a illness that won't go away. then i said, "for example, i have chronic acne." it's true.

okay.

This One's For the Duck

im the first to post to Ducky. ever.

It's My First Time

im the first to post to melissa/melisso/mel/mel jr./ melissa jr./melissa the second/woosh woosh. so im special. kelly and lindy may have posted ABOUT her but my post was TO her.

My Feelings

utah is hot, loud, fat, rude, and on fire. and there are trees. thats how i feel about the beehive state. one month of sleeping in the same room as a juvenile delinquent, shopping for suits and socks, and shopping for baby fabric and other infant items is enough utah and melissa bonding time for me.

in the near future i will be going on an eleven hour car ride with two bruised glutes. yeah thats what i call fun fun fun. i think i have a disease, its called glutetitis. i diagnosed myself.

oh and just a note, packing three shirts for a month long trip: bad idea. especially when you see one person a couple times so every time you see them your wearing the exact same outfit...three times in arow...in the same week. i deeply apologize to that individual.

here's the thing, hes a cheater

here's the deal folks..... as some of you may see eric is winning in the "who would i rather spend a day with" contest. well i would just like to inform the public that he was able to vote for himself. and when i tried to vote, to even out the playing fields, it told me i couldnt vote because the page had expired. so as we all know the only reason eric is winning is because he cheats. now before he cheats(oh carrie underwood).....ok i really have nothing to say i just wanted to quote good ol care bear. now i would like to strongly urge anyone who voted to immediately change their vote so that the innocent, sweet child will be the one who wins because cheaters never prosper. thank you for you concern and for your precious time that i know is very valuable to each and every one of you.

couch leverage

so. today. melissa and i had a dance party. this is actually a very common event for us. we had some new songs to try out and it went remarkably well, for a short time. i was trying to show melissa how to use the couch as leverage for awesome kicks. so she tried it. and round house kicked me right on my left hip. i think it shattered my iliac crest. no joke. i only have half of a pelvis. as if my hips weren't messed up enough already. so we are anticipating a lot of bruising.

this picture is a blast from the past. obviously this was right after a trip to harry potter disneyland. that's why i'm wearing mickey ears and a hooded cape. actually. it's a after a trip to the gap. that's why melissa is wearing all gap clothes. in the end, it's truly after our family's rendition of the first Christmas. internet charades is so fun. you go next.

I Have A Cake In My Hands

Center parted turtle by day.

Cake baker by night

we are worth it

so. we play all day right? wrong. we never get to play. but now we are going to update you on our world. primarily the view of a couple youth in america. our thoughts on music, culture, politics, parenting, and the international food industry. so if you think you can dance, this is the right place. let's kick it off with a shout out to rural america as she disappears under the mighty mississippi. in all honesty, i wish we could be there to help. but honestly, with the price we pay for anything, even charity is outside of our budget.

recent news. melissa is shopping for purses online. there is a little feature that recommends matching items. it suggested a shoe, a wallet, and a thong. ladies. your thongs should match your handbag.
