A Sleeping Ferret = Me Laughing

Sometimes Josh sees a ferret in a pet stores sleeping in a very hilarious way. Then, he points it out to me and... of course I took a picture. It's very important for me to take pictures when I see something so shocking or hilarious because I would be doing the world a dis-service if I didn't share! Click here and scroll to the bottom of the post if you want to be reminded of the last funny pic I took.

Anyway...back to the ferret... see for yourself... priceless.

Sooo...we went to Las Vegas over October Break. Lemme take a minute to give October Break the full props it deserves. There is no greater week off that I am given as a teacher. It fully rivals Spring Break.

I love you October Break.

Ok, back to Vegas. It was fun. Like it always is. We stayed at the Luxor. It was cool.

We sampled many different (20 to be exact) kinds of soda from many different countries at Coke World. Just for the record: A beverage from Italy called Beverly tastes like poison if i could imagine what that would taste like. Super fun though.

We had a great vacation and on the way home while going through the Joshua Tree Forest I got to take an awesome picture of the silhouette of a tree against the sunset.

Good times.
How has your October been so far?

Supermodelquins!

I find it to be strange...

You see the Old Navy Supermodelquins all over the TV and you don't think anything of them. They are just another "mascot" associated with a brand.

Until you see them at the store with your own eyes! Now, I don't really shop at Old Navy so I am not around the stores frequently. Tonight I was walking past an Old Navy to go into Office Max and as I was walking past the window there was a small part of me that said "OMG, there they are in real life!! (even though they can't be in "real" life because they're plastic!!!) It's ok, I'm cool enough to admit that sometimes i'm a little lame. I'm sure you would feel the same way.

Auntie and Uncle Drifter

Do you and your husband ever speak in British accents for no reason??

No?

Ya, ya, us either.

:)

-------------------------------------------------------------

Here is an actual conversation that took place over the course of about 30 minutes between josh and I.

Josh: This place is dumb. (Talking about work)

Lauren: I'm sorry. I wish we didn't have to work.

Josh: I know! That'd be awesome.

How do you feel about being beatniks?

Lauren: Harley would make such a good hippie dog.

Josh: We could hang out a truck stops.

Lauren: And get fleas.

Josh: "So Josh, What did you do today?" "Oh, tried to talk the wife into being homeless."

Lauren: Aha ha ha. I really don't mind the idea of the lifestyle, I just don't like the idea of not sleeping in a bed. Call me spoiled!

Josh: But I like the idea of not having to be somewhere at a specific time.

Lauren: We still would. Even drifters keep appointments!

Josh: Would you ever expect a beatnik to be on time?

Lauren: No, but then again, people have stopped expecting us to be ontime!

The kids could call us Auntie and Uncle Drifter!

Josh: We could make them handmade bracelets for their birthdays.

Lauren: For their birthday's we could make them things like a collage of trash.

Ok, yours is a much better gift.

But we could make them handmade bracelets right now.

Josh: No we can't. We have jobs. We don't have that kind of extra time.

Josh: Ya, i'm jive to the lifestyle.

It was always my backup plan.

Lauren: How do you feel about arm pit hair?

Josh: Mine or Harley's?

Lauren: Mine. That's part of the lifestyle.

Josh: You'll have to get laser hair removal first.

Lauren: Well, that's really gonna push back the timeline.

Josh: Lasik for the both of us too.

Wow, being homeless is expensive!

Lauren: I prefer drifter over homeless.

Josh: I prefer beatnik.

Lauren: But some beatniks are very prissy with all their snapping and berets.

Josh: Oh, and I need a new acoustic too.

Lauren: Wow, it really is expensive to do nothing!

Lauren: Gotta work now. Thanks for that conversation!

Josh: There will be plenty of time to talk in front of the truckstops.

Just another reason why I know we're right for each other!

Can't Stop Won't Stop

I think it's time everyone out there in blog world learns about quite possibly one of the best bands ever!

I would like to formally introduce you all to...

The Maine

Now, this band is pretty amazing. Here is a list of reasons why:

( I like lists, incase you didn't catch that by now.)

1. They are from Tempe, Arizona.

2. This band was sooooo good that some of the members had to finish high school early so they could go on tour!

3. Their lead singer has an amazing voice. His name is John O.

Reason #4 is a very important one.

4. Since The Maine started out so very local, they played many many shows here in AZ in a small amount of time. Because these guys are so awesome, they always try to spend time just "chillen" with their fans. (Which I am) Therefore, I was able to get these shweet photos with John Ohh.



Awesome, right?
<-------------------->



5. They have a Christmas song titled "Santa Stole My Girlfriend." I am positive it is the only song on the face of the Earth in which Santa is called names and it is still a song that you can love! You've got to admit, that's pretty cool.

6. This picture rocks. It is from their music video for Into Your Arms which they were just allowing fans to go and be extras in. Darn me for having a career that keeps me from being an extra in a music video! Lol! I don't know if I ever thought I would say (type) that sentence!
7. The Maine does a cover of Def Leppard's Pour Some Sugar On Me that is close to the original. They pretty much turn everything they touch into gold. Listen to it on Itunes. Now.
Go find them and listen to them and love them! Thanks. That's all!
