what can i say, she's just talented....

this video clip hardly needs an explanation... except that i will say its about a year old, the only way i know that is because that non-microwavable green plate almost burned my house down last summer when my sister sophie was visiting.... ok i mean I almost burned my house down... i put a slice of pizza in the microwave on that plate for 10 minutes instead of 1, im sure its easy to imagine what happened next... but i'll paint the picture anyway... soph and i were watching tv (what i do best) and suddenly this huge plume of thick black smoke engulfs my kitchen. i run in to see what the heck caused this because as far as i knew i wasn't cooking anything (i never 'cook') as soon as i turned the corner i saw the smoke pouring out of the bottom of my microwave and saw the time counting down, 4:44, 4:43, 4:42 "idiot!" i screamed. so like the idiot that i was i flung open the microwave door and let the toxic fumes just pour into the rest of my house faster.. the little green plate was on fire and had shriveled into this unrecognizable green and black blob with a lump of coal (my pizza) on top... sophie and i had to cover our faces because we could hardly breathe and our eyes burned and watered from the fumes. i grabbed a potholder and ran my melted and charred plate to the garbage outside, sophie was right behind me with the rest of my green plastic plates and into the garbage they went, obviously i could not be trusted with non-microwavable anything! we spent the rest of the evening doing damage control, stuffing pillows under the doors of my girls bed rooms, trying to push the bad air out with dish towels and trying not to pee our pants because of what i had done (all of this with our t shirts up over our noses so we wouldn't pass out.... good times

Sooo not as cute as i thought.....

I'm like "cory hurry get the camera how cute would this picture be!" apparently not that cute.. the three of us are totally squinting, i mean honestly not even the girls look cute! i was thinking in my head there outfits are cute and we're in the hammock, totally frame-able.... totally NOT! oh well at least an attempt was made....

JUST FOR LAUGHS...

just wanted to share some of cory's latest and on-going drama... he just had his galbladder taken out 2 weeks ago after about a year of trouble.... the funny part is all the testing(ei; colonoscopy etc.) now the testing itself wasn't all that funny, it was the effects of the drugs.... see for your self...
TURN UP THE VOLUME & WATCH THE WHOLE THING, YOU WONT REGRET IT...

i am a lazy shopaholic complainer...

i realized a couple months ago that i really should blog because, i think i might be pitifully funny... i think when people tell the truth you cant help but laugh and next to shoe shopping (and shopping in general) i enjoy laughing.
so i have figured myself out i am a whiny complaining lazy bum... the only time i even half-way wake up is when i see the word "clearance" i told myself a week ago that i wasn't gonna shop anymore, kind of as an experiment, six days later i couldn't take it any more and i cheated.... i figured if it wasn't shoes it didn't count so i have taken to buying hair extentions... THEY WERE ON CLEARANCE!!! so i have always wanted to try out these jessica simpson/ken paves hair extentions but they run $100 + and that is simply not a bargain.... untill they were 60% off and then i had to break my non-shopping streak... but why stop there, i had already broken it so i continued hitting up evey clearance on the way back to my counter at work. i couldnt do it! i felt so low like i can't control myself ( not low enough to return anything because they were all killer deals) the only thing i really accomplished was not buying shoes for a week, anyone with a little self restraint could have done that (any one with the gluttonous amount of shoes that i own shouldnt even be able to wear-out this many in a lifetime!)..... and now i am complaining..... every second i dont have a headache i want to be shopping.... thats 25% of the time which doesn't sound like that much but when you consider that i am either laying around 75% of the time with a migraine or shopping that doesnt leave time for cleaning, groceryshopping(the only shopping i detest) cooking (love to eat, hate to cook) and lets not forget i have two children who are either watching enchanted(overand over), making themselves cereal or are quickly becoming mini-shopaholics themselves.... there is no hope for me... i think im gonna go sit in my shoe closet for a minute to collect my thoughts...

The Truth...

okay, so lets be honest.... i totally don't know how to set up my own blog....(i spent forever this morning trying to turn ON my computer only to find out it wasn't plugged in! I get distracted around BOGO) my fabulous and oh so stylish friend Syd set it up, wrote my first entry and then posted a comment, gotta love her... (totally busted!) I am not even sure i am typing this entry in the right place...
well i must sleep because i have to wake up early so i can sleep on the couch while my girls watch TV. O.K. so i don't sleep ALL day, I have to go to work... alright, its not a "real" job i spray people with perfume all day and i shoe shop on my breaks.... its like somebody invented the perfect job for me..
the TRUTH is Cora is talking about "poopoo" and i really am the biggest procrastinator that i know, Eva starts preschool in 2 weeks and i haven't even made an effort to look for the # and the school is like just around the corner from my house...

Woo Whoo!!

Here we go. It's time to join the blogging world. We've been hanging out in Michigan all summer, but are getting ready to head to Utah to party with the family. Can't wait. Eva and Cora are getting huge. Cora is a tiny little tornado. She's talking up a storm and getting into all kinds of trouble. Eva is an awesome little helper and great big sister. She's getting excited for pre-school in the fall (that is if Mom ever gets her registered!). Here's a couple of pictures of the little monsters!!

Here is Cora sporting her Napolean Dynamite hairstyle.

And here are Eva and her naughty little friend Maddy playing in the sprinklers!
