THE LAWS as Michael sees it


I was reading my nephews myspace and he had the funniest list I had to share with everyone. It made me smile, hopefully it will do the same for you.

Law of Mechanical Repair

After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch or you'll have to pee.

Law of the Workshop

Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

Law of Probability

The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.

Law of the Telephone

If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal.

Law of the Alibi

If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the very next morning you will have a flat tire.

Variation Law

If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will start to move faster than the one you are in now (works every time).

Law of the Bath

When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone rings.

Law of Close Encounters

The probability of meeting someone you know increases dramatically when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.

Law of the Result

When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will.

Law of Biomechanics

The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

Law of the Theater

At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle arrive last.

Law of Coffee

As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.

Murphy's Law of Lockers

If there are only two people in a locker room, they will have adjacent lockers.

Law of Rugs/Carpets

The chances of an open-faced jelly sandwich landing face down on a floor covering are directly correlated to the newness and cost of the carpet/rug.

Law of Location

No matter where you go, there you are.

Law of Logical Argument

Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.

Brown's Law

If the shoe fits, it's ugly.

Oliver's Law

A closed mouth gathers no feet.

Wilson's Law

As soon as you find a product that you really like, they will stop making it. (this one is true every time!)

Doctors' Law

If you don't feel well, make an appointment to go to the doctor, by the time you get there you'll feel better. Don't make an appointment and you'll stay sick.

The Break


This last weekend was a much needed "Get out of town" break, I think for everyone in the family. We chose yet again our favorite place to be, Schweitzer. The thought of it brings smiles to our face. We put a little video of the highlights of our trip for you all to see. They are all of the kids, they are the best ones to see and the most important :) It starts of with Tayler having to jump off the lift at the end because the guy she was riding with (who was suppose to help her off) obviously forgot her. There is a clip also of Bailey in one of the helmets growling at us trying to scare us (yes, she is our little monster). There is Berek going off a jump and a rail and of course our awesome Makenna shooting down the hill. She's a bit crazy if you ask me. There were a few ouches but luckily nothing to serious.

Tag, I'm it

I got Tagged again but this time its all about ME

What were you doing ten years ago?
I was in Pocatello, Id. Living in the married housing on ISU campus. We had just heard that Jared was accepted to IUPUI dental school and were busy trying to find a place to live there that was CHEAP. I was pregnant with Makenna and Berek was only 1.

What are five things on your list today?
1. run on treadmill
2. get things ready for mutual
3. clean house
4. go see Doc
5. try not to tie Bailey to the chair so nothing else gets ruined/broken/eaten you get the point

Snacks You Enjoy:
Hmmm how about that I don't enjoy (JK) I would have to say swedish fish would be at the top, then pop, Nicoles sugar cookies, and homemade bread

What would you do if you became a millionaire?
Pay off debt would be the first, such as student loans, house, Jared's office. I would like to pay off my families student loans also so they could have a fresh start with at least that debt gone. I would get my brother a mail order bride, just kiddin John. Then if there was any left after that, which I really doubt, I would invest.

5 Jobs I've had:
1. Phone sales: selling stupid coupon books
2. KFC
3. Wendy's
4. State Farm Ins.
5. The Bon Marche

5 things you don't know about me:
1. I hate being in charge of anything-too much stress
2. I stress myself out trying new things for fear of looking like an idiot
3. I have always wanted to learn to work on cars
4. I would love to go scuba diving
5. I miss my family daily (yes all of you)

My tag goes out to---- Andra and Brandi of course, Allison :), and Aimee if you are up and going yet

Valentines

Bailey waiting for breakfast after she already broke into

the chocolates, hugging her new buddy.



Kids waiting to head out the door.




Happy Valentines Day!
Thank you to everyone who sent the kids their valentines. They love getting stuff in the mail, even cards. The little ones carry them around all day.

Well our morning went fun. We ate pink waffles for breakfast and the kids got their valentines from Jared and I. The girls all got stuffed animal dogs and a box of chocolates. We knew Berek was not into that kind of stuff anymore so he got his football cards and of course, box of chocolates. Then off they were with their valentines and cupcakes, to school, to celebrate with their friends. Poor Tayler came home a little bit ago from preschool. She only lasted till 10 o'clock and her teacher called me to tell me she wasn't feeling well. I went to get her and she was and still is a bit pale. She came home and hugged the toilet for a bit, now she's upstairs watching her shows.

Any how, we hope you all have a great V-day. Love you much.

TAGGED




One of my friends tagged me for this pretty fun tag. It's great because it is all about.............. JARED.
How long have you been married? 13 years this September. I have to say, every year has gotten better, if this keeps up, who needs heaven.
How old is he: 32
Who eats more? HMMMM, take a wild guess. But hey, I'm not fat, I'm just big boned. Seriously, we eat about the same, but if chocolate and pnut butter are included, he would have me beat.
Who said "I love you" first? Me, then I hung up on him. I got nervous
Who is taller? Him.
Who sings better? According to "SING STAR" it's totally me.
Who is smarter? Okay I guess I'll let Jared have one.
Whose temper is worse? Okay, maybe he can have two. Actually, we both are on the same level.
Who does the laundry? Me and I hate every moment of it.
Who does the dishes? Me most of the time.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Me, 'cause I'm always right, right?!?
Who pays the bills? Me, that way I can pretend all the money is gone and go shopping. (yeah right, I'm not much of a shopper)
Who mows the lawn? I like to, Berek has done it more the last couple of summers to earn a little moola.
Who cooks dinner? I do but he cooks a mean BBQ
Who drives when you are together? He does. I think I scare him.
Who is more stubborn? My brothers, let's just leave this one at that.
Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Does anyone have to? We both are pretty good at it 24 hours after the fact.
Whose parents (family) do you see the most? Mine. They just can't get enough of my lovely self (and we bribe them)
Who proposed? He did. He just said, "I'm going marry you." to my reply "Not till there's a ring on my finger." That night we went and got a ring.
Who has more friends? That's a toss. Jared knows tons of people and is a friend almost everyone. For me, my friends are like my family. They are the type that are always around when you need them and love you no matter what. I have found many of them here. They are funny, sweet and make me happy. I love you guys, sniff sniff.
Who has more siblings? me, 7. I am second to the youngest, Jared is second to the oldest.
Who wears the pants in the family? I'll give this one to Jared. Not because I think or feel he is the boss, but he takes good care of us. Throughout our marriage he has always made sure we are taken care of in all aspects. He's a hard worker and has worked very hard to get where he is today. He makes me proud.
I guess this ended up to be more about me than it should. Sorry hon. So now I get to tag a few people. How about ANDRA, BRANDI, MISSY, and ANGIE.
