Going Green!

Alright, so my good friend Haley Collett is the one to thank for this video. She texted me and told me that I had to look up this video, and man was she right! Now, I've got nothing against those eco friendly people, but is this really necessary?? I mean, come on... But, I guess if you want to cry over a fallen tree, go do so. Myself on the other hand, I'm going to go out and celebrate life while I can.

One of Those, "Almost Pee'd my Pants" Moments

Now i'm not sure if this was out of sheer delusion, or if it really is funny. A friend of mine told me to search for this video on youtube, but I stumbled across this gem of a clip. In the end, I am so glad that I did, and I wanted to share my joy to all of you. Please, do enjoy yourselves!

Look out for that *BaM*....pole...

All those innocent and naive little children out there, I love them to death. It's great going to family parties because on my mother's side of the family, there are lots of little kids and cute little babies to play with. I'm always chillin with the little ones. There's one of my cousin's kids that really peeks my interest. We all know him as Taters. A little tyke with curly hair, a great smile, and a whole lot of energy. This kid is abnormally off the walls 24/7, even ask his dad. At dinner parties, he can never stay in one spot for very long. It's pretty much inhuman. Well, when I play with Taters, we like to play this game where I chase him, catch him, spin him around, and then release him. We play this for about 30 minutes or so, no joke, and it's pretty much his favorite. Well, at my Grandma's birthday dinner, our game got cut a little earlier. As we were playing, about the third round, I spun him around once and put him down, and pretended to chase him. Well, my bad when I realized that I had released him near a giant pole. I knew what was going to happen next, but wasn't fast enough to stop the inevitable... Naturally, he whipped around as fast as he could to escape me and...*BaM*, nailed his little noggin against the pole. Pretty sure he should've gotten a concussion, but being the little ball of energy he is, he bounces right up, shakes his head a bit, and runs off. Incredible, this kid is indestructible. Of course I felt bad and stopped playing because everyone blamed it on me, but I can't help but replay the whole incident in my head and laugh... Taters, your one of my favorites!

The Loneliest Churro...

So this night all kind of started out random. Those nights usually turn out to be the best, and this one was definately one that I will never be able to forget. Kimi, my second married sister, comes over trying to get me to take some of her stuff she doesn't want anymore. When she told me that Ryan, her husband, would be back soon from doing laundry, I suggested that we should go bowling. Long story short, we ended up going miniature golfing.... What a laugh... let's just say, i'm no Tiger Woods. I'm more of a Happy Gilmore when he first starts out. If you want a good laugh, come watch me play. I swear, the only way I can get a decent score, is when I use my "Pool Table" technique. You know, when you get down to the ground and try to poke the ball into the hole. It works! But let's be honest, I look like a fool, as seen below:

Now compare my picture, with Happy Gilmore...LOL

After golfing, we decided to treat ourselves to some dessert and went to try out the mexican joint called Gecko's across the street. My new favorite place, it's so... charming in it's own kinda way. The reason we went there is because Kimi had to get her some sopaipillas (so-pah-pee-uh's). At first I had no idea what they were but I thought i'd give them a try. When we got there and ordered, it turned out they only have enough dough for the two out of the three we ordered. Well, me thinking i'd be the hero, I offered to keep it safe and just stick with the churro. To my dismay, when the waiter brought out the sopaipillas, I had realized that I had them before on a trip and thought they were SUPER delicious!!! (even said that out loud and the waiter felt bad) So while my sisters were happily spreading away the luscious butter onto their sopaipillas and eating them, the waiter brings over this meesly stick of a churro and hands it to me... I didn't realize it, but when I took my first bite, apparently I made this really depressing face which in turn made my sisters laugh so hard they almost choked. Of course, they had to take a picture documenting this event. So they told me to make another sad face while taking another bite out of it, and at that time the waiter had come back to check on us. Being the great actress I am, I sold him the fact that I was unhappy and he asked if my churro was okay. I started to laugh way hard, causing me to spit some of it out, and told him that it was great. Yeah, I felt a little stupid after that. But I did enjoy my churro very much! (and the two leftover sopaipillas my sisters had) The waiter I guess felt bad for me though, and gave the churro to me for free, so all in all, I couldn't complain. However, after the second sopaipilla, I think I got a little tipsy because as we were walking through the parking lot, I totally ran into this tree...BAM! In the end, I should have just stuck with my lonely churro....

Alright, Alright, I know.....

This post of mine will be used to shamelessly promote my brother-in-law, Kirby Heyborne. I'll have you know that I am all too proud to do so, so i don't care what you say. Kirby is hilarious, talented, and hansom to boot (sorry still married). But uh, I realize that I don't promote him like I should when someone asked me if I went to his concert recently, when in actuality i didn't realize he was in town.... But that's only because I have been to soooooo many of his concerts that he is so sick of seeing me there. Ha ha ha, I really hope that isn't the case. But honestly, I love his concerts! He has a talent in combining great music, funny stories, and getting the audience involved to create one heck of a night. Let's see, for those that I might have sold on seeing him, he has a show coming up, info below:
