“We are Crisis of Conformity… THANK YOU!”

Saints WIN!!!  Good for them.  It was iffy in the beginning, but they pulled through.  I would LOVE to be down on Bourbon Street tonight - I am sure it is one hell of a party!  Congrats to the Saints.

Enjoying a much needed night out with Nadine and Dena!!! Love them to pieces.

While in my office commenting on my weightloss efforts:

Nick:
You look like you have lost some weight, you don’t look so bloated.
Misty:
What did you just say?  Did you seriously just call me bloated?
Nick:
I don’t mean that in a bad way… you know what I mean, you don’t look as swollen.
Misty:
Seriously Nick, you should just stop there, you are not making this any better.
Nick:
*laughing*
Misty:
I’m sure the ladies are constantly throwing their panties at you for the way you swoon them with your words!

While in another co-worker’s office telling him about the above conversation with Nick:

Nick:
I didn’t mean it in a bad way!
Misty:
How could it NOT be taken in a bad way?  You should NEVER use the words bloated or swollen with a lady.
Nick:
Yeah, but I don’t consider you a lady… you’re one of the guys that happens to have boobs and a vagina.
Misty:
Awesome.  Again, thanks dickface.
Jeff:
Jesus dude… *slapping forehead with his hand*

UPDATE:

After emailing him the link to my blog post letting him know that I created a section on my blog just for him and the crap he says:

Nick:
I can’t believe you put that up there and seriously used my picture for it.
Misty:
Well you called me bloated, swollen and basically called me a dude.
Nick:
I could have called you an ugly dude… I mean seriously, let’s try and count our blessings Misty!

A flat tire… just what I need!

Ready for summer!

Posted via Bella the Blackberry.  

This past weekend, Virginia was hit with a snow storm, giving us more snow than we have seen in this area since 1989 - back when I was 13 years old!  Very honestly, the last time I can clearly remember snow falling and it actually being a significant amount that stuck to the ground was back in 2000.  My kids have never experienced snow like this.  We drove up to my friend Marci’s house in Richmond before the storm hit on Friday night to spend the weekend with her.  Her area got more snow than Virginia Beach did, at one point we measured about 16” on her back deck.

Kaiden was SO excited that she could not even wait to put snow clothes on, and went running outside in her pajamas and boots to play in it.

Marci’s husband drove us in his Chevy 4x4 to the store to load up on snow boots and waterproof pants for the kids and for Marci and I, which in itself was a memorable trip!  When we got home, the boots and snow clothes went on for some playing outside.

In between snow play sessions, we spent time inside, under blankets, drinking hot chocolate and playing the Wii.  We alternated between Family Feud and the 4-Player Super Mario Brothers… a game that my kids are CONSTANTLY fighting with each other over… a game that my grown adult, fully licensed Dentist, friend Marci joined right in on the fighting with.  All you could hear was “who just killed me?” “your not waiting up for me” and “your not playing like you are part of the team [insert name of a**hole player here]” - FROM ALL THREE OF THEM!  It was like I gained a third child.

Marci’s husband John was cracking me up all weekend long.  He is a HUGE ATV enthusiast, so he kept finding reasons to break out one of his ATV’s - you know… to clear paths for us to walk on the driveway and the walkway in front of the house, etc.

But what cracked me up even more, is that he wore his ATV helmet EVERYTIME he went outside… Need something from the truck?  Helmet on!  Need to walk next door?  Helmet on!  Shovel the back deck?  Helmet on!

We left Sunday at around 1:00 after spending an hour digging my car out, and once we felt the sun had been out long enough to melt the ice on the highway and were home to my mom’s house by about 3:00, which wasn’t bad at all!  It left the kids plenty of time to play some more in the snow before the sun went down.

We had a fun weekend.  Ashton is already missing his Wii buddy Marci.  The kids were off school today and stayed with my Dad, who just called and said they spent the entire day outside building stuff in the snow, minus a short lunch break.  They are off school tomorrow too, so I am sure they will want to play in it all day again tomorrow.  Personally - I love seeing it for about a day… then I am ready for it to be gone, it makes everything a big, fat pain in the butt.  At least the kids are having fun though, which is all that really matters!
