April is Child Abuse Awareness Month

scott's quirk-i-ness

to expand on the quirks i mentioned in the blog below, i thought i would share some of them with you...

 

- he LOVES to use pine sol. he fills the kitchen sink up with water and pours pine sol in, to freshen up the house.

- when we first met, scott had this pair of basketball shoes. they were from his senior year of high school. they were so small that they made his toes bleed. it took probably 3 years of me asking him to get new basketball shoes, that he finally caved in. 

- big red. the boy loves big red. who drinks that stuff anyways?

- road trips. no matter how long the road trip, no matter how many people are in the car, no stops are allowed. you have to try to make it to your destination without any stops.

- he sleeps in his jeans. we all know how tight scott's jeans are (and how good he looks in them). but he sleeps in them! always has, as long as i've known him. he says they are comfortable.

- scott and computers don't really mix. he doesn't really like the internet. haha, when we started dating, i always told him he was "so bad at the computer".

- sarcastic jokes. he is made of them. i didn't really get his humor when we started dating, but now i have conformed to his humor. he likes to hiccup (or sneeze, or cough, etc) and then say "lindsay, did you hear that? i just hiccuped".

- donuts. every saturday morning in college, scott went to the donut store. he gets a chocolate donut, donut holes, and a donut twist.

- which brings me to cinnamon rolls and cinnamon strussel and cinnamon sugar toast. the boy loves cinnamon.

 

now that i am writing all of these down, i am thinking i really love him. he is so great. i love his quirks :)

scott and i are looking for a large map like this one, for our home.

 

when scott and i started dating, he talked about how one day he wanted to have a large map in his home for recording where he has been and where he wants to go. i remember thinking he was quirky when he told me things like that...

::: ankle weights :::

abby lynn, my sweet co-blogger, and i, like to go on walks after work.

when i go on walks, i like to wear my ankle weights.

the first time i wore them, abby was embarrassed of me.

now she is used to them.

she even borrowed them one day. except she wore them on her arms. hah.

 

they really do work your legs more. see the cool people below who wear them?

their legs look great.

even babies wear them!

maybe i should get some high fashion ankle weights so i can wear them to work.

what do you think?

::: dream job :::

I would love to own my own furniture and accessory store some day. I would love to be able to go shopping in Europe and New York and California to find treasures to sell in my store. I would love to have repeat customers who I know by name. The ambiance would be delightful : lots of light, soft but good music playing, hardwood floors with delicious little cookies and a pitcher of tea for those who are shopping. If I did have my own store, these are the types of things I would love to sell...

Dottie & Campbell

Mel requested a blog from Lindsay and I.
The first thing that comes to mind are my nieces.
I lovem lovem lovem lovem.
This month,
Dottie is 7 months.
Campbell is 4 months.

Dottie is just like her mamma.
& So Campbell is also, just like hers.

Both so different.
Both so loved.

woods just called, less then fifteen minutes after the posting. 

"you bitch" - woods

"what?" - abby

"did you post your computer on craiglist under my name?" - woods

"what are you talking about?" - abby

"someone posted your computer on craiglist. i've gotten two calls about it. you promise you didnt do it?" - woods

"promise about what?" - abby

"about posting your stuff & having them call me?" - woods

"ahahhahha" - abby

"oooo...the war is on!" - woods

Then I received emails from the posting: 

& People are VERY interested!

Email 1 - 

Lauren,

I just called about the iMac, do you still have it for sale?  Thanks

Email 2 - 

Thats a good deal! I want it! Still available?

UH OH.

Woods changed her voicemail to say "If you are interested in my iPhone or iMac, please call my assistant, Abby at 972 953 8618" ...Now Im getting all the calls.

Since she said "You got me. It was a good prank" - I have deleted all the postings.

These idiots text message her too.

Shh..Don't tell.

I cant imagine Woods reading Lin & I's blog so I feel okay to post my lil scam now, opposed to later, when she finds out.

I will be "selling'' many things on Craigslist and leaving contact info for Lauren. They will be calling her ... and I think I have to sell many different things, such as Zog's Yamaha keyboard, my computer, & maybe my iPhone ...so that it drives her up the wall. I cant imagine that many hits on just one of these things, so I must overdo it. Laurel suggested me selling her car, but it's dirty & she's at the library now, and I wanted to do this right now.

All of her items for sale: (1)  keyboard, (2) iMac & (3) iPhone

Don't tell!
