The Book of Amusing Scenarios and Corresponding Quotes

The above may have to be the title of my new book.
Tonight while babysitting Hayden this scenario took place:
I headed him to bed and asked if he wanted juice or water. He didn't respond so I chose to give him water and put the cup next to his bed. A few minutes later he emerges from his room with his cup and says "See Peyton there is a problem.... this water tastes like REAL water." I respond "I'm sorry what was it supposed to taste like." He responds "duh, juice".

Oh kids... they do say the most amusing things.

Cool things online

So I recently came across a couple of cool websites online. The first is called Gilt Group. It is like an online store for designer clothes and accessories... except for that they are on sale in a huge way! You have to be invited so click here to join. They have a ton of amazing stuff!

Another similar site is One Kings Lane. They have really cool designer home goods (any almost newlywed would drool like me). You have to be invited so if you want to get access just let me know and I'll email you the invite.

Top 3 therapy moments from today

3. In a discussion about historic wars, a client says "Hey we forgot about the war in Alaska." I give him an odd look, "Which one is that?" He says, "The one where she takes over the world." (We are kindly giving him the what in the heck are you talking about look) He is turning bright red and almost shaking by this point "I'm going to try to say her name nicely... SARAH PALIN." Classic.

2. A few minutes later while discussing the war in Iraq another client pipes up. "Do you know I know everything about Obama? I have to. I study him. Because I know that he is the Antichrist." Oh do you? HA This comment was enough on it's own but don't even get me started on what Obama has to do with the war in Iraq.

1. The same client as above hands me a cosmetic dermatologist's card. I give him a weird look and say, "What's this?" He says, "I went there this morning. They are good." I'm like "oh that's great!" I start to hand it back to him and he says, "Oh don't worry I have another one, you should keep that one. They might be able to fix whatever (while gesturing vaguely towards my head) is wrong with your face." Then without another word he turns and walks to the bathroom.

I may need to write a book.

4th of July

This weekend was the 4th of July. I really enjoy spending this holiday with William. Last year when I spent it away from him I found myself really missing him and having a hard time making it through all the talk about Independence and Freedom without my army boy. This year was a success. I went home early on Thursday night after work. Friday morning William and I woke up and ran some errands. I mowed my mom's yard (because apparently my 19 year old brother is lazy and incapable), got my haircut, did a little shopping (bought a super cute dress and some shorts) and deposited my pay check. Meanwhile William was helping his grandfather with some work. I went to surprise them but they weren't at Nana and Popi's. Instead I found out through the security gaurd at the gate that they were at Jason's Deli. Amusing!

Friday evening we headed down to the bay. We headed out on the jet skis and rode until sunset. I was proud that I wanted to drive and that William let me. I sure hope he was proud... because normally I just let him do the driving. Saturday we rode all day, played with the family, ate lots of yummy food, and William's best man Troy came down! We had a ton of fun. I almost lost one of my Rainbows, but luckily it floated and my jet ski driving came in handy when I headed out after it! Yay for not losing the only pair of shoes I brought home from Dallas! We shot off close to $700 in fireworks. Well, the boys shot them off. They had slight lighting issues. As in we had a hard time lighting any of them. It was pretty windy, but William's thumb pulled through and set a majority of them off on his own. Troy had a close call with one that decided to blow up on the pier, but everything else went pretty well.

Sunday we had dinner with Kelly's new fiance and her parents. It was a good time. I'm sooooo excited about having a sister. And Amy is a great one! She's loud like me (sorry Amy it's true), she's a speech path like me, she's going to be a military wife, and she gives me the time of day. Most of my family has really good relationships with their sisters in law. I really hope that Amy and I can always be there for each other from close by or far away!

Weekend with the Newlyweds

This weekend I went to College Station. I stayed with William and we hung out with Bryan and Jonna most of the weekend. It was good seeing them. I haven't seen Jonna outside of wedding or phi lamb events in a while. I insisted we by cookie dough, make margaritas and eat cones.... just a few of our favorite past times, but this time we let the boys join. I very clumsily christened Jonna's new apartment's carpet with red crystal light. I was so upset but I think it came out. Phew!

William and I also went to see The Proposal. It was decent. We laughed a lot.

Life is starting to take a toll on us. We bicker a lot... but I hear it's a newlywed/almost married thing. I worry a lot... but I hear that's a girl thing. He procrastinates a lot.... but I hear that's a boy thing. So I guess we are normal. But I'm just super ready to have a regular life sans school and separate cities. We (really just me) have been doing some job hunting. It is starting to really feel like we are going to have to open our options up to all of Texas. One posting I saw that fits William is in Port Lavaca. It's on the water and Victoria isn't far away. I feel like it would be similar to living in San Leon or Kemah and having League City nearby. Good news is I did a quick job check for my own sake and 4 districts around Victoria/Port Lavaca are hiring SLP CFYs (speech language pathologist clinical fellowship year). That's good! Graduating in May has really got me excited. All of a sudden I have less than a year left of school. Whoo hoo!
