Honey Funnies

Welcome! Welcome!

This is my new segment called "Honey Funnies".

[cause this blog is totally organized with segments.]

Where I highlight my glorious husband and how wonderful and often hilarious it is to live with him!

Please keep in mind that my beloved Giant is a very sincere person. Which makes his genuine thoughts and feelings completely endear me to him on a daily basis.

"You're funny!

.....funny looking!"

*pauses contemplating the genius...*

"That is the best diss ever!"

Tommy set his computer down at 9:24 p.m. exclaiming,

"This [homework] is so boring, I'm falling asleep. Wake me up in 20 minutes."

It is now 11:51 p.m. and after many failed attempts to wake my giant, I am somehow going to get him to sleep walk from his current location (knotted up on our love seat) to our bed.

12:36 a.m., so far no luck on the sleep walking. But I did manage to rouse him by trying to change him into his pajamas : )

"What are you doing, Woman?!"

Tommy and I were discussing 'being able to "handle" emotion-inducing content in books. I am finishing the third book in The Hunger Games series.

A text conversation between the best husband ever and his working wife who gets home later than him.

"What do you want for dinner?"

c ~

"I don't know what I want, what are you in the mood for?"

t ~

"You ask me that every day. Woman up and tell me what to cook you Honey."

"Fine. I'm just going to have to cook you up everything in the house until I can find something you want. You said you were hungry today."

"I want rice and asian stuff : )

"Okay, what kind of rice? Just rice or fried rice? What kind of Asian food? I could look something up."

I know. I'm a lucky ape.

6 AM Is No Time For Pictures

Once upon a time,

my dear friend Janell Hunt completed a work out program called "Insanity".

And she posted her accomplishment on facebook and said she was in "the best shape of her life".

Which sounds really spectacular, don't you think?


I thought to myself, I am 22 years old! I should be in the best shape of my life!


So I scouted it out, and it was expensive, and the reviews on amazon said it was hard, hard, hard.

But I was emboldened yet. My knees aren't deteriorating! My heart is strong! I eat cheerios!


Plus the overweight man who reviewed the program on amazon was dedicated and he sweated through insanity TWICE. And his determination was outright moving. I would do the whole thing just for him. Whoever he is.


For four months, I waited. Looking for a good deal. But more importantly, looking for a job.


Then I got a job and two weeks ago....a GREAT deal was found!


Becca was a champ to go with me to pick it up from some {really ripped} dude I found on Craigslist.
[It was broad daylight, in the middle of a well-trafficked parking lot, don't you nakies worry.]

Becca said the transaction was akin to a dope deal haha...the guy had a whole bunch of the dvd's and had apparently set up appointments with several people other than me. Folks were pulling up all over the place to cash in and get exercising.

But I didn't ask questions. I had mine! And it was legit! The ticket to the Best Shape of My Life!


I returned from Alisa Grace's wedding on Saturday night, and the program has you start on a Monday so 6AM this Monday morning; I started.

First day, is the Fit Test. Which they don't grade you on...but I definitely flunked.

7 minutes in I almost puked in our sink that doesn't have a disposal. Ew.

My mind felt competent, I could do those moves! But my body started a teenage rage speech..

"You woke me up at 6 AM!
You haven't fed me breakfast!
Where's my chocolate milk and my warm shower?
You don't understand me at all!
Why don't you stop and let me climb back in bed with Tommy?
You're ruining my life!!"


I said,
Tomorrow will be better...our overweight man friend on amazon [who I will now be calling Paulie Chrysanthemum] did it!
We can do it!

And my body said,
...Fine.
But if that stupid chick on the videos keeps acting downright perky like she eats Insanity for desserts and vacations, I'm going to punch her.

I said,
Deal. She is annoying.


~ Two Days Later ~ ~ ~

I am currently on day 3 of the work outs, and I know I won't give up in the next 64 days. I love the progress I am making! I didn't even fast forward through anything today! ; )

Stairs and I are not friends right now though.

I limp up and down them like a wounded kangaroo.



p.s. Gareth, who used to work where I work, said talking to yourself is normal. But if you answer yourself out loud, you are mentally crazy.

I told him prove it.

I only answer myself in writing...

Just a little....Anniversary!

YES it has been slightly over 365 days since we were sealed/married and ate a lot of cheesecake with our most beloved loved ones!


Tommy and I were lucky to score a 3 day weekend (off from my work) and a warm 72 hours in Rexburg for our celebrations. It was a much needed reprieve and so refreshing!

We spent all of Saturday morning outside at the park and it was absolutely glorious!!

Tommy packed us a picnic, the awesome book we've been reading, a quilt, frisbee's, slingshots, and a ball and gloves. Did I mention he is stellar?

First, Tommy played catch and I played runaftertheball. I was not so glorious.

Because A.) Tommy thinks I'm 7 ft tall or can at least jump few inches...
B.) The whole catching with a glove thing where you are supposed to use the additional three inches past your fingertips to catch the ball...severely confuses my hand.

Luckily there were several small children at the playground 80 feet away who were more than willing to retrieve the baseball and carry it to me at least 10 of the feet : )

THEN

we officially gave our *sling shot christmas presents* a go using local pinecones as ammunition.

We successfully avoided hitting anyone in the face and perfected our aiming skills.

Tommy had to show me how to hold the slingshot and pinecone for optimal release speed. I am 100% better than I was before however I don't think I could kill any birds quite yet. I'd probably just make them mad if I got anywhere close to hitting them.

[no we aren't planning on using our slingshots to kill birds but if you could kill a bird with a slingshot you would be REALLY good and I'd salute you before giving you the stink eye for murdering Tweetie's cousins.]



Then we ate our lovely picnic and read our book and soaked in some sun!

Eventually we ran away to the movie theater where we plotted our devious return 4 hours later.
4 hours later I smuggled snacks (vanilla yogurt + granola) into The Hunger Games and clutched Tommy's arm through the entire 2 hours.

Isn't it crazy how you can read an entire series and know everything that's going to happen to every character and still sit in the theatre and freak out through all the tense parts?



Sunday we went to church and spent time with our nursery kiddos whom we love : )

One of the 2 year old girls cracked up in the middle of the coloring time, turned to me and chuckled "I farted!". We. Love. Them. All.

It's hilarious to be in a class of all girls. They stir up drama and fight over babies and whose hair clip is whose. And they have giggling fits and like to twirl in their dresses and they LOVE Tommy : )


After church we built a fortress!




And Tommy cooked up a bajillion delicious onion rings:





And my stupid dough did...nothing:



For hours! It refused to rise! So I baked it anyway!

My rolls were definitely more dense than I'd hoped, but still super tasty.


We read more of our book and snuggled and watched our t.v. shows and had the best time just spending all day together : )

I'd say a definitely delicious anniversary vacation.


Plus there was Apple-Mango Bubbly. What?!

Try it.
