Sail Away

I am so excited. Tomorrow I am leaving for the Outerbanks. I think I may cry when I drop Kolob off to the PetsHotel. It's like a child going to school for the first day. I may be an emotional wreck!! I have been really busy lately, but I will make sure to take a bunch of pictures of my fun trip and post them when I get back!

My fond memories of Mohanna..

So here I am, sitting at my desk at work (on my lunch break) and I looked over to my left and realized how pathetic my lunch actually looked.


depressing? oh yes..

See, I'm going to the beach in 2.5 weeks and I have to lose about 15 pounds before then. How in the world am I going to accomplish that one might ask? Easy. Please see the above image. This lunch however, is not working for me today. I may have to go and raid the vending machine in the break room later and get some fat yet oh-so-delicious honeybuns.

I was browsing the internet for home decorating stuff and somehow (like always) I stumbled upon the absolute BEST website in the world
www.cafepress.com
This website makes me so happy. So, I was looking up some cute Mormon garb and if you grew up in the hip and happenin' Latter-Day church you may have seen a certain and very special movie. Now, for the life of me I cannot remember this movies name, BUT, all I remember is calling it the "Mohanna You Ugly" movie. Of course growing up and being around the age of 12 and 13 watching this movie, you never really pay attention to every detail - only the funny parts. I'm pretty sure it had to deal with something along the lines of God created us all in his image and we are all beautiful inside and out and it doesn't matter what our worth is.. Well, I saw this t-shirt at the above mentioned website and it made my heart smile in ways unimaginable.


Look at that sassy cow showing off her glutes!
Now, if you never saw this movie or grew up in the good ol' Latter-Day church, you'd probably look and this and have no clue what it's talking about, but Mohanna was worth the trade of 8 cows for marriage (that was the highest trade ever in the "Mohanna You Ugly" land). When I saw this shirt it just made me laugh and brought back some great memories of begging to watch this movie in Young Women's on Wednesday nights - all for a laugh at the line "I give you 8 cow for Mohanna". Oh, Mohanna... You are so amusing.

Our home is currently under some serious remodeling and decorating. I'll be sure to post pictures of befores and afters once everything is compelted. The transformation will not just knock, but will blow your socks off.

In the meantime, it's back to the crazy grind!

Ahoy

I figured I'd start this whole bloggity stuff since everyone and their grandmother is jumping on the world wide web and doing it. I like to try to stay hip and in the loop so I decided to hop on the band wagon myself. Unfortunately, it's not going so well.. This is like foreign jibber-jabber to me and I have no idea what I'm doing. Hopefully, I can get the hang of this and become a blogging addict! So, we'll leave the face of a young Karen Moody to sum up how I feel at the moment as I navigate all these weird tabs. As the saying goes: a picture is worth a thousand words..
