Preperation H - Lesson learned

The last week or two I have been insanely tired and have had an upset stomach and nausea. Well last night I started feeling better and ate, and regretted it immidiately. After puking my guts out all night I woke up feeling better but looking scrap dog in the worst ways. My eyes were swollen with HUGE puffy bags.
I went to work anyway, but I could tell by the clients' reactions that I was looking bad. Then I decided at lunch I would get some visine and something for the bags. In my little head I remember hearing that you can put preperation H on and it gets rid of puffy eyes. Well its impossible to find anything in Walmart and I had no idea what preperation H was exactly or where to find it....so I asked.
Couldn't figure out why the employee was acting so weird and awkward until I looked at the box. Hemorrhoid cream..... Who knew? THIS is what happens when you don't have cable.

Boy Meets World - Quotable Quotes

I was searching the internet to find that quote where Topanga talks if she had a country/world that women would rule and men would be chained up underground and only used for reproduction purposes. By the way, if anyone knows that one or finds it, please let me know. It's very important to me and a friend of mine. Anyway, I didn't find that one, but I did find a ton of hilarious ones. Here is a lot of them. I chose to leave out the mushy gushy ones. We all know its the random and obsurd statements that make a show great.

First time Sushi

Brian and I had never had sushi.

Well, when we get together we can talk each other into just about anything,

so I had it ordered before he could think twice.

We were both pretty excited about it, and we learned 3 things:

1) I like sushi

2)Brian does NOT like sushi

3) Jeff should NEVER be camera man.

The picture above and below are my favorites.

What the???

Brian DOES have a pretty knee though, I guess?

This one was actually laziness on my part. There might be better

pictures from Brian's camera, but I am kind of thinking it wasn't the camera...

but the camera man.

*sigh*

Good thing I have my twin.

Thinking Back...

Thinking back on the year, it hasn't been half bad. There have been some definate special moments. Here are some of my favorites of the year.

Pink was definatley hot this year. She has always been one of my fav's, but this year she really outdid herself. Pretty sure I am not the only girl that suddenly wanted to go buy a riding lawn mower.

I finally broke down and became a clinique girl. Seriously, you get what you paid for.

These are my favorite shows and the only ones I have been loyal too. The Hills is genius and teaches some very important lessons. Gilmore Girls is over in a way, but I watched every season this year from episode 1 to the end. These women inspire me.

Racquetball - because its what the cool kids do these days.

Yes, Twilight is on here. I decided to watch the movie first since the book is always better. Have read every book since.

I WILL have to say they are good, but not my favorite. Bella is so pestimistic about so many things and sometimes Edward is just TOO perfect, but that may just be the bitter female inside of me that no longer believes that kind of man exists. (which he doesn't. That is why he is only a fictional character in a story.)

Baby Mama
BEST movie of the year!

The year was full of a lot of other wonderful things. Little moments and things flood my memory. Vanilla Ice and Spice girls, The darndest things kids have said, days in the sun, text messages that have made me almost split in two laughing, and of course the best things of the year are the people that I spent it with. Sometimes I think I have to be the luckiest unlucky person in the world.

Christmas with the Curtis Family!

No matter where I end up, I will always half a second family. No holiday is complete without them. Didn't know what a surprise I was in for when I went to deliver presents there. Tami's present is manual labor from Jay and they had already started and were ripping out carpet when I got there. Really excited to see what Tami puts in. Here are some pictures of there hard work.

This last one is blurry which makes me sad, but my camera is hard for kids. It was getting cold and we were trying to hold smiles while Janna figured it out. It's still one of my favorite pictures though since Tami and I are usually taking pictures and never get to be in them together.

Then I sure did go with them over to Kristi's. Everyone talked to Papa and Patty over there and the kids played while we conquered another puzzle. EVERY time, Tami and I end up racing for pieces at the end. Jay TRIES to help, but he more or less supervises. Tami and I know who really does all the work.

Oh and I ruined Brook when I was her babysitter. Now she thinks I need a thousand pictures of her at all times...and of course she is absolutely right. So I threw in a couple of the very many that were taken. We also got pictures of Tami. You will notice Jay says he helped, but he is NOT in the pictures. Hmm........

Opening Presents

I have the cheesiest family in the world. And you can ask for anything and pretty much expect to get something completely different. And then of course it must be modeled. Jeff isn't in these pictures though because he is absolutely no fun and refused all pictures I attempted.

My dad not only got my mom the nauseating pink bathrobe, but matching slippers. I asked my dad if that was his way of telling us they were moving back into a trailer.

First of all, he opened this present and couldn't figure out how to get his new shirt on. when he finally figured out they were pants, the dancing started. These are the genetics we have to fight every day.


Brian wanted an apron. He's pretty cool and likes to cook. I looked everywhere and found him this blue bistro apron....but that's not the only one I found. The hat says "ho ho ho" for anyone that might care.

This is my new beanie since Brian steals ALL of mine.

Good thing I love that kid.

Christmas with the Barneys

I was really skeptical about Christmas this year. I lOVE Christmas and usually have to force myself to wait it through Thanksgiving before going crazy. This year was different though. Then Brian told us he was scheduled to work Christmas day. My heart absolutely dropped. I understand having to work, but Christmas without my twin just didn't seem like Christmas at all. I just couldn't imagine opening my presents without him, and the idea of him being alone in Mesa absolutley killed me.
Then the most wonderful thing happened. Christmas morning I got a text from him saying it was slow so they let him off for the day and he was already in Globe headed this way! I consider this my own little Christmas miracle, and it made my whole Christmas to be sure.
Here are some pictures of us at my grandmother's. (My dad was doing what he does best.) I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas.
