A Double Dose of Bad!!

The other night, I’m helping my parents move the contents of the refrigerator out in order to lighten the load AND because… tipping the fridge (we were moving it out of the kitchen to make way for fancy new tiles) and causing the pickles and yogurt to mix…not a good plan. For the record, I don’t like remodeling. It’s messy and sooo inconvenient!!

Ok, so after everything is out of the kitchen and we’ve got the refrigerator plugged in, I’m putting things back in and the door bell rings. My dad with his arms full asked me if I’d check to see who was at the door. Slightly annoyed because I’m POSITIVE they are there to see either my mom or dad, I head to the door to see a girl in sweats and a t-shirt, possibly around my age or younger (Younger?? What? How is that possible..I’m like soooo young!!) standing there with honestly…a somewhat dumb look on her face. I open the door and greet her.

ME: Hi.
GIRL IN SWEATS: Hhhhii (imagine a semi boy-ish and slow voice)

I’m looking at her…waiting…..because she came to my door…uhh hello?? What do you want lady?

ME: Uh…can I help you?
GIRL IN SWEATS: Hhhiii……umm…………

Again, I’m just staring at her…waiting for WHATEVER she could possibly want/say to eventually make it’s way out of her mouth.

GIRL IN SWEATS: Ummm……I hit your car…

WHAT THE @#$@!?!?!?!?!?! Why are my cars NOT safe casually parked in front of a house??

ME: Ok, what car? (I start walking out the door to see the damage, dreading inside the process of getting an estimate, the long term damage, being without your car, and the waiting…… UGH!)
GIRL IN SWEATS: The white car…and the funny part……my car …is in…..park...

HUH? That’s not funny!!

ME: Ok, so where is the damage?
GIRL IN SWEATS: It’s not much…it’s little..I just barely hit it….
ME: Ok, so where is the damage?
GIRL IN SWEATS: Ohhhhh no darlin’……it’s THAT car (she points across the street at the neighbor’s rusty old Honda Accord
ME: (as the sigh of relief hits me so hard, I almost fall over) Ohh, that’s not my car, that’s their car (I point to the neighbor’s house)

GIRL IN SWEATS: Ohhhh…..well…….@#$&!! I just thought……it was the …right thing…….to do…………
ME: Yeah..it is, but that’s not my car, it’s their car, so you would have to talk to them.
GIRL IN SWEATS: Ohhhhh……………it’s just a little bump
ME: Well you would have to talk to them, it’s their car.

Yeah, she had to be drunk or lacking a lot of brains, she was so dumb!
I get back in the house and I’m still feeling the relief pour out of my every pore….whew!!!

I’m bad though, while I’m watching her and still feeling a little bit of fear that she’ll pull away from the curb and swerve to the other side of the road and REALLY hit my car or pull U-turn and hit my car, I kept thinking, “I should call the police, I bet she doesn’t go to the neighbor”. BUT I just continued watching….fearing….fearing…thinking…fearing…thinking…fearing…and she pulled away and no crash sounds!

DANG!!! I never called the police and I never got her license or her name or nothing!

So, my car is okay (yay), but I’m a bad citizen!!

It's so true....2 wrongs...don't make a right!

Recipe for silly craziness

What do you get when you mix up the following ingredients?

3 super cute boys
3 ice cream cones
1 outdoor pool
2 awesome aunts
AND 1 car ride

If you guessed, an instructional video for a relaxing yoga session - TRY AGAIN!

BUT if you guessed an evening of hilarious fun!!! - DING DING!! You win!

NOTE TO SELF: Didn't someone say to you...."Kristi, wherever you go... a party follows!" Hmm.....it must be true! :)

We took Marcus, Nicolas, and Tyler to the rec center last night, followed by ice cream cones for the drive home AND if I do say so myself, the boys had a GREAT time!


Below is a sample of some of the funny things I heard from the backseat:

"Dude...look what I did!"

"Boys go to Jupiter and Girls get stupider"

"Boys rule, girls drool"

"Pinch, poke, you owe me a coke"

"Boys get camaros and girls get old dump trucks"

"I love this song 'ohhhhh ohhh'"

Jokingly one of them called me a "crazy old woman" and of course I made my "pouty" face and sweet Marcus made it all better by telling me I'm a "young lady"

OH boys...ya gotta love em!


Making mad faces

Making sad faces

Making cool faces

Mr. Vitamin C to the rescue...

Monday evening, I had the totally awesome privilege of moving my dusty tv from it's stand in an attempt to retrieve my expensive ring which had rolled across the top of the entertainment center and *boink* landed right where I couldn't reach it. Ok, I'm kidding...it was no privilege at all!!

After standing on a chair - FAIL
After cursing backwards and forwards--- hahaha - FAIL
After moving several dvds to reach back on the side - FAIL

AND FINALLY having to move the entire tv from it's resting place - SUCCESS!!! I got the ring!!

Ok, so the tv is back and the dvds are back, everything is clean and pretty and I've got my ring, but I realize I've kinda got a scratchy throat. Hmm...did I breathe in too much dust? OUCH! Who knows? Long story short, this girl caught a wretched cold!!! What the crap? I lasted over a year surrounded by people with nasty colds and now...now...right when my summer is winding down...I catch a dang cold!?!?!?!

BUT never you fear, Mr. Vitamin C is here to rescue me.....hopefully! (hurry cross your fingers, mine are!)

Beach Cruiser....errr...Street Cruiser

AND when I'm not in California or Camping.......I'm riding my cute new pink bike!!! Her name is Clara.

Ahhhh...I never knew I could feel as young as I do when I'm out cruising the streets of Laramie in "pink" style. :) Now all I need is a cute basket in front!

Anyone wanna go for a ride?

AND then...the summer happened...

So apparently, I'm not a good blogger in the summer. WELL DUH!! I'm having too much fun playing!

I went to CA...yet again! This time, the adventure was San Diego based.



I ate at some *delicious* restaurants



I even found a way to make it NORTH to Disneyland!!!! VIA AMTRAK!!!





Took in some Coronado Ferry Landing, strolled through Balboa Park and Body Worlds (ewww and cool at the same time), AND OF COURSE...played on the beach





I attended the first annual Polka Dots camping trip at Battle Mountain.
What a fun time!





And of course we had a little TOO MUCH fun drinking our Apple Beer (non alcoholic, FYI)





WHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now check back in a couple months for my next update, hahaha!
