I haven’t dressed up for Halloween since 2004, but last night my husband and I were forced to happily decided to dress up for my BFF Jen’s HalloBerthoWeen (Halloween Birthday!). I re-used items from my old “Halloween Trunk-O-Goodies” that I’ve collected through the years, and Adam didn’t spend a dime on his costume either.
Kitty Fast
HotMail (or BlackMail, but I guessed HotMail)
HotMail & Kitty
I have to admit… we had a good time. Thanks for inviting us out, Jen! Happy Birthday!

How my husband manages to give me ‘backhanded compliments’:
“Huh. Did you do something to your face today? Like, to make you look prettier?”
Thanks baby. Wouldn’t it have just been nicer easier to tell me that I look pretty today?

Just another “can’t make this shit up” conversation…
Adam and I pull up top the Wendy’s drive-thru, our mouths watering in anticipation of yummy Frostys…
Drive Thru Girl: Welcome to Wendy’s, what can I get you?
Adam: Hi, can I please get one Frosty with M&Ms, and one medium chocolate Frosty?
Me: Chocolate, tell them chocolate.
Drive Thru Girl: Sure. What size would you like your medium Frosty to be?
Adam: Ummm… what? Medium. I would like my medium Frosty to be medium. And a small for the one with M&Ms.
Me: Mine only comes in one size. And tell them chocolate!
Drive Thru Girl: The Twisted Frostys only come in one size.
Adam: Okay that’s fine.
Drive Thru Girl: Okay so a Twisted Frosty and a small Frosty?
Adam: No. A Twisted Frosty and a MEDIUM Frosty.
Me: Adam baby make sure you tell them chocolate for both of those. They always try to give me vanilla!
Drive Thru Girl: You want vanilla?
Adam: No. Chocolate please for both of those.
Drive Thru Girl: Okay please pull forward.
We pull forward. We pay. We are given two vanilla Frostys. I complain, Adam sighs, we send them back through the window, and probably recieve spitty chocolate Frostys in return. They were delicious.

…to us!!!
One year ago today, Adam and I stood up in front of God, our family and friends and vowed to love each other forever. We’re still going strong and are looking forward to all of the wonderful anniversaries to come!

Meet Tali. She is a beautiful purebred Red Pointing Lab… She is sweet, loving, playful and smart! She smells like a puppy and has separation anxiety when we leave her alone (guess we’re just THAT lovable!), but is crazy happy when we return home. She learned how to sit and lay down in her first 5 days with us, and she loves water and other dogs.

Things I have noticed about my house:
-The cabinets are all super high in the kitchen, so I need a footstool.
-The shelves are all too high in the laundry room, so I need a footstool.
-The shelves are all too high in my bedroom closet, so I need a footstool.
-The shelves are too high in all of the hallway closets, so I NEED A FREAKIN FOOTSTOOL.
Who built this place, The McTall Family? Crimony!
(Also, there are baby locks on all of our drawers and cabinets. I know that they are awesome and we’ll probably need them in a few years, but ohmygoshifreakinhatethem.)

Yes, I know it’s been forever. Here are my excuses, and then we will move on:
-Adam and I were moving. I had no time to blog while packing up our 22 boxes of fingernail clippers.
-We bought a house! Pics soon.
-I’m busy busy busy with work… out of state national meetings, in state flights, extra appointments… trying to make some $$$!
-We got a puppy!!! Pics soon.
Okay… so those are the excuses. I promise to try to be a little more regular with my posts now. :)

So I obviously wasn’t going to say anything, since I was SO against this kid in the beginning (the Michael Jackson song from the first week was just terrible)… But I have to admit, the Heartless arrangement won me over.
I can truthfully say that this is the only time in the history of American Idol that I’ve ever changed my mind so drastically.
I’d also like to say that I think the best performance on last night’s results show was (hands down!) Kris Allen and Keith Urban – and if that boy comes out with a country album I’ll be all over it. He sounded GREAT!! Adam and I think he sounded better than Keith Urban.
And now for my dirty little secret of the week:

For the past few weeks, Adam and I have been participating in the loving act of ripping eachother’s heads off arguing about retarded back massager chairs that no one has used in 2 years packing up our beautiful belongings because we bought a new house!
Amongst spending hours trying to figure out WHEN THE HECK we accumulated all of this crap (who has two quesadilla makers?? who even has one?), I have many times been scolded for “keeping too much crap.” Because, apparently, “women never get rid of anything.”
Hm.
May I present to you… things I have found while packing that I would have immediately chucked into the trash if my husband hadn’t whined and whined and whined for me to keep them:
- 72 Sharpie markers. All black.
- An entire drawer full of random knives. Probably like, 45 of them. Some that look like scary “I’ll gut you” hunting knives, which in no way will ever be needed in my kitchen. This is in addition to the two knife blocks we have on the counter.
- 24 lighters. We’re not smokers… and no one has that many candles. No one.
- 13 pairs of nail clippers. Only one of which is mine.
- 67 shot glasses. Not including the 35 from the cabin. Please, someone tell me… when are we EVER going to need 67 shot glasses at the same time?
Meanwhile, the pile I’ve created of “crap to get rid of” is slowly taking over the entire downstairs family room.
Interesting, how I get verbally abused for keeping 3 boxes full of shoes that I wear, yet when I try to throw away dry Sharpie markers, rusty knives, half-empty lighters, dull nail clippers, and shot glasses from cities we’ve never been to — ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE.
Hm.
This is not the complete set
Mine is the pretty purple one. The rest are Adam's.

So, I really have no critique, except that I’m sick of Adam looking like he’s going to lick everyone when he screams (keep your tongue in your damn mouth!). So, here’s a little tidbit from my night (and it’s totally Idol-related):
Me: Yeah, I don’t really know this song, but I still think Danny should make a baby-makin’ CD.
Adam: (pointing at the screen) That guy right there sounds exactly like Michael Bolton. Exactly.
Me: Yeah, I guess he does sound kind of like Michael Bolton, with Bryan Adams mixed in.
Adam: No, he sounds exactly like Michael Bolton. Trust me Jenny, I know Michael Bolton.
Me: *silence*
Me: *silence*
Me: *silence*
Me: uh… hello?
Adam: Oh. My mom used to listen to him like, 24/7 when I was growing up. So I know.
Me: You should definitely tell people that if you’re going to say things like ‘trust me, I know Michael Bolton’ — weirdo.
Then again… Michael Bolton did make a *few* chart-toppin’, baby-makin’ CDs… so I guess I see the resemblance.
Doesn’t make my husband any less weird though.
