Gram's Place

Shawn picked Em up at school and had to go to the other school to get Abb. While they were waiting, Emily said "There's Jennifer's sister." "Where?" "Over there by the tree." "I don't see anyone by the tree" "Daaaad!" "What?" "Duh... Dad... you know, Jennifer " "I don't see anyone by the tree." "Dad... Jennifer Carson ..." "Who?" "My imaginary friend , Jennifer Carson" He finally understood. Jennifer's sister would not be real because Jennifer is not real. She is imaginary. Her entire family is imaginary. This morning, I said "Em, so... how many people are actually in Jennifer's family?" "Lots" hm..... interesting character. I started to worry a bit. "Emily.... do you actually see Jennifer?" "Yeah, I'm the only one though... unless I snap my finger a special way, then other people can see her." I saw the movie...

This post is in honor of my husband, the Closet Blogger. For the man in my life, who never posts, unless anonymously. But, always faithfully reads my daily blog. For the man in my life, who knows what is going on in my blogging friends lives... But, would never admit he reads their blog. For the man in my life who knows all about Michael Yon.... via his blog. For the man in my life who I caught visiting Angry Beaver websites After I blogged about Angry Beavers. For the man I love dearly. You're so fun to be with! Thanks for being so awesome. (Although truthfully you don't know what you're missing by not adding your posts! It's so fun!) And by the way, thanks for coming in early for me this morning, and letting me sleep in a little longer.

Thought I'd blog about Shawn's favorite cartoon. The Angry Beavers. It's not on anymore.The show was about two beaver brothers trying to make it on their own. Apparently their mom had a new litter and they got booted. Norbert is the calm, collected one with the brains, a rather large ego, and a desire to be accepted by Barry (“Mr. Cool”). Daggett is the nervous one who doesn’t care what anyone thinks of him. Total opposites. That’s what makes the show so funny. Some of the things they get into are absolutely hilarious. The writers are great, and the animaters are awesome. Some episodes are really gross and some are down totally stupid. Maybe that's why Shawn likes it so much. What in the name of Aunt Eileen's cabbageless coleslaw is going on? Why did Nickelodeon cancel this show? I decided to try to find out. I googled it : "Why did Nickelodeon cancel Angry Beavers". Get straight to the point. No need to beat around the bush with Google. It seems, afte...

I wonder how many times I will write that we are still moving. ? Seriously, nobody should have this much stuff. The good thing is... gramma marge is still providing meals. We're actually thinking we might tell her we're still moving even when we're done. Just for the food. Tonight is tacos/burritos from a bar here in town. We're not really bar supporters, just good burrito supporters. I spent a teensy weensy bit of time on the internet today shopping for furniture. Furniture shopping is so fun. More so when you get to BUY it and not just LOOK at it. But, I found the cutest sectional from storehouse. They have the best stuff! It's a little out of my pricerange though. But, I'm going to send a photo of it to my friend at Simpsons to see if she can copy it in a cheaper version. :) I love the color mostly. I could probably get any old thing in that color and love it. It would look awesome with my black lectern recliners . Emily is having fun with the move. She said...

Thank God for my mother in law. She is so nice. For the past few days, she's been providing our meals while we work and move. Tonight it's goulash. and very good I might add. Shawn went to a contractors steak night. hm... what a trade off. It's so funny though. Cuz normally at mom's, Monday night is McDonalds night. Shawn's bro Shelly is so cute. He has to have McDonalds every Monday night. And he has it down to a science. His favorite show starts at 8. So, he writes a list... same list every week, 2 fish sandwiches no cheese extra tarter sauce, large fries, orange pop. Even McDonald's workers know Shellys order. But, he still writes the list. And he brings it upstairs at exactly 7:30. If you are in a hurry or want to go early, or try to do it sooner, he gets mad. And believe me you don't want to make shelly mad. You can't leave until 7:30. Not a minute before. Tonight I'm on McDonalds Duty. So, better go!

I haven't updated in two days! That is bad! bad bad bad! We moved our bedroom stuff and our bathroom stuff and our kitchen stuff. So, we can eat and sleep and "do bathroom things" at one house(#2). The rest of the stuff, computer included, is at the other house(#1). So, right now I'm at the house #1. We took the day off to move more stuff. me and shawn. what a lonely couple of movers. We keep getting interrupted by urgent work calls on our cell phones. He takes one call, I make one call, next thing you know it's an hour and a half later. He's still on the phone now, and I had to check email. So, I snuck onto my blog to update. It's wierd moving this time. We don't have the new house built so we're moving into something SMALLER, and it doesn't have all the conveniences of this home. Like... ROOMS. jk. We really like this place. But, it's going to be good for us to be closer together for a while. We moved a bunch of stuff in the enclosed...

Ever smell those "smells" in your kitchen and wonder where they are coming from? We came home from v-ball yesterday. I walked in the house and smelled it. I thought "what is that smell?". Then, one by one, each member of my family followed me in the house and I listened as they all repeated the same question: "What IS that smell?". "It's coming from the bathroom"... "No, I think it's the laudry room." ... "Is the garbage from the garage coming in after us?".... "When was the last time you cleaned out the fridge?".... "It's definately inSIDE the house"... Everyone sniffed around for a while, Shawn sprayed some stuff in the garbage. The garbage was only 1/10 full, so we couldn't take it out yet. We would waste a whole bag. We each got busy, did our own thing.... and the smell didn't bother us so much. We went to bed, got up the next morning,... it was back. that SMELL. This time nobody c...
