2 Daughters

My mom said she has 2 daughters...

One that flies by the seat of her pants. And one that plans when she's going to fly by the seat of her pants.

Bet you can't guess which one I am. :)

Conversations with Scott Part 2

Back story: On Sunday Scott and I were driving on the freeway. After seeing an ugly black Mercedes Van/SUV-type vehicle, the following conversation took place:

Scott: "Ugh, that thing is awful..."
Me: "Yeah, but it's a Mercedes."
Scott: "It looks like one of those hursts..."
Me: "A what?!"
Scott: "A hurst...ya know, the car that they put coffins in for funerals..."
Me: (Laughing out loud for real) "No honey, that's called a HEARSE!!" "There's no such thing as a HURST"
Scott: "Whatever...yes there is"
Me: "And just how do you spell that?"
Scott: "H-U-R-S-T"
Me: "No, it's spelled H-E-A-R-S-E"

Obviously he thinks I'm being a smart ass so he doesn't believe me. So I call my friend Vickie (the non-speller of ANY word) since I know she's home.

Me: "Hey, what's that word for the car that carries the casket to the cemetary?"
Vickie: "A hearse?"
Me: "Yeah, that's it...how do you spell it?"
Vickie: "Um, I don't know"

At this point I tell her Scott's version of the spelling.

Vickie: "Yeah, no, I KNOW that isn't right!"
Me: "Yeah me neither, GOOGLE it for us will ya?"

***clicking on the keyboard***

Vickie: "Yep, you are right...H-E-A-R-S-E"
Me to Scott: "I told you...I knew it didn't have a T in the word"
Scott: "Whatever..."

Conversations with Scott Part 1

Back story: I have 2 pairs of tennis shoes. Scott picked out the last pair when we first started dating because Aasics were "the best" shoes out there. I hate them...seriously if I walk/jog, I have horrible shin splints and the mesh lining doesn't help keep my feet warm.

Me: "I'm done with those shoes, I'm going to wear my old ones.
Scott: "Which ones?"
Me: "My old Nike's."

(I go get them out of the closet and I'm sitting on the floor putting them on at this point.)

Scott: "Um, those aren't Nike's..."
Me: "What?! Yes, they are... See, look!"
Scott: "Those are Newbalance you dork!"
Me: "What??? No way...all this time I thought they were Nike's...."

LOL....maybe Scott DOES know more about tennis shoes than me!

"First Snow for Peoples"

I know this picture is a little late, but it was too funny not to share.

Alexis arranged all of her "peoples" (Fisher Price Little People and other misc. toys) on my coffee table one weekend during Christmas.

When I asked her what she was doing she said, "oh it's the first snow for the peoples, they are so excited!".

The coffee table stayed like that all weekend and I sent her home with her very own snow.

Bumper Stickers

While driving home yesterday I saw 2 bumper stickers that I thought were funny:

1) B.O. Stinks

2) God doesn't believe in athiests.

Clever huh?
