sputter...sputter...UNFAIR!!!!

I've been thinking about something.

I'm not sure if this will give you a renewed enthusiasm or what but....this month is quite possibly one of the worst months for me to exercise.

I was doing really well. I really was.

But then.  I got sick. Flat out on my back if I do anything thing more active than walking up and down my stairs.

Also. Next weekend I am getting my wisdom teeth removed which means the physical activity for seven days after so they say!

GAH!!!!!!!

Nonetheless....even with these said things I still work 50 ish hours each week and I got a new calling which is pretty spiffy. You are reading words from the new R.S secretary of her ward. Yep. Cool right? Yes I am wiping the dust of my shoulder as I type.

P.S No I still have not received my Mish call. Still keeping an eye out for it though.

peace out home scout.

Exercise Competition Details

Dear Lunch Pale, Mike, Twoderful, and the Momma of all Twoders

Here are the details for the exercise competition:
Start date: August 13, 2012
End Date: September 30, 2012

Come up with a cool team name and a goal (This goal could be anything exercise/health related. Here are a few suggestions: calorie counting, eating less of sugars or fats, eating more fiber, or whole wheat or fruit, doing 20 pushups, running 1/2 a mile, going for a bike ride...the goal can really be anything. Get creative and make it a challenge for you)
For this exercise competition we are keeping track of how many total hours we exercise. We also are keeping track of bonus points. We earn these bonus points by completing our specific goal. Every day this goal is completed, a bonus point is kept track of which means an additional 15 minutes is added to the score.
For example:
Monday August 13, 2012
Exercise time: 1 hour
Bonus goal completed? Yes
Total time: 1 hour 15 mins

Tuesday August 14, 2012
Exercise time: 30 minutes
Bonus goal completed? No
Total time: 30 mins

etc, etc....make sense?

Mid-way check in date: September 1, 2012 On this date we will all tally up our scores from August 13-August 30th. When posting your score, write the following information (I figure we might as well use the blog foor updating info):

Team name:
Hours completed of exercise:

...and whatever else you would like to add (such as bragging about your awesomeness...!)

The competition will end September 30th. On this day we will also post our team name and hours completed. Then, (the best part!!!) the winners are determined and the loosers send the winners a card or a letter in the mail saying how awesome they are for winning!

That's all, so to get started post your team name and specific goal. Each one of you can have a different goal, or it can be the same goal for both of you. So...here is my team name and goals:

Team Name: Hairy Man Belly
Dish Towel's Goal: 50 sit ups every day
Mike's Goal: 50 sit ups every day

Hello My name is...

So you may or may not have heard this song,




So. I was listening to it with my sister and she says "Who would say that when you first meet?" (refering to the line in the song 'the day I first met you, you said you'd never fall in love.) We continued listening and when it got to that part she said, "Hi, my name is Mike, and I'm never going to fall in love." I kinda thought it was hilarious.

-Twoder.

Love is like farting. If you have to force it then it's probably crap...

*WARNING* Post will be longer than a smidge or a blurb, it's more of a speil....or a word vomit volcano.

I have not posted in awhile and that means I may or may not have a lot or a little to say. You can decided, guess, judge, contemplate etc.  Oh and I like lists....so may the list commence!

A) At work, remember how I see lots of names. I have a new one that strikes a funny with me. LURKA URMA. For a girl. Say it five times fast and don't smile. Hard right? Well...for me it was.

B) Because all of you soul sisters of mine decided to either get married or move away I was left with a considerable lack of close friends. Therefore I became a recluse of sorts with my bro. We were comfy with each other and didn't really feel the need to be social. Then...our mom grounded us from sitting next to each other at our religious gatherings and we had to separate. The result? Wall-flower no more. Big step in a happy direction.

C) I can start a papers party!!!! Think about it..................................got it? If not here is a clue *18 months*

D) (*WARNING* I am about to break a rule. See if you can catch on.) So remember a certain David? He is of a certain age and certain height with a certain hair color? He had a cameo on the tube a bit ago in this sweet angelic choir during a wide world broadcast. The David who has a mag filled with his face that may or may not have found its way under my pillow at one point in my life? So you all know the history with this boy right? My alleged man who goes around with musical tones and has no idea whose man he is. Well this David may have taken a different form as of late. His hair color is the same. His skin color is about five shades darker. He grew a few inches, height and girth. He speaks Portuguese..... and English. He does carry around musical notes. His last name means blueberry. And I actually know him in person.
Get my drift?
So David and I enjoy long walks on the beach, sipping lemonade and finishing each others sentences. We take turns braiding each others hair and last weekend we got tattoos of each others faces put on our right thighs. Sushi is our favorite food to eat together. We enjoy heavy metal music and coloring books. Any questions? OK good. Moving on.

(*Disclaimers on David* 
1. I owe nothing.
2. He actually knows I exist.
3. He is in no form attached in a BF way.)

E) Happy JULY 4th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

F) This was brought to you in part by...Twoderful. It's more than wonderful its, Twoderfull and tooterfull!

Dear Lunch Pale and Twoderful (well...and everyone else too. I just think Lunch Pale and Twoderful will remember this more than anyone else)

Think back to a time a long long LOOOOONG time ago. It was the moment where I got my name (Dish Towel). Do you remember this moment? I hope you do, cuz I'm not going to write this moment on here for public eyes to witness....if ya know what I mean. So anyways, due to circumstances, I received the name Dish Towel.

Well....
I am pleased to announce something exciting in the world of Dish Towel. Due to recent circumstances, I no longer qualify for the name Dish Towel. No, I do not wish to change my name, I just wish to boast. Are you ready for this...?

Dish Towel (now keep in mind the situation a long time ago and recent changes that have occured in my life), I no longer meet the qualifications for "Dish Towel." Instead, I qualify for the status of...(DRUMROLL.....)...Dish RAG!!!

Get it?
Well...I hope you do. I felt this was a blog-worthy thing to share, but a little bit difficult to share with apartment 30 without sharing to the whole world.

So...if you don't understand a word that I just said, well...just text me or call me or message me on facebook. But don't you dare think I'm going to explain things in depth on here. That would spoil the secret to the meaning behind my name. Haha!

Signing out, Dish Towel :)

TWODERFUL,

HAPPY DAY OF BIRTH!!!!!!

I wrote this in purple, since it is your favorite color.  ;)

I dedicate this to baby Zombie.

Check this out!

-Twoderful

What's in a name?

Because of where I work, I see names all day, every day. It's just what I do. And occasionally there is a name that stands out above the crowd, even if they gotta shout out loud. (Lunchpale, that was for you.) Anyhow, here are the ones of late:

1. Sir Jaxon King (That is the name, the entire name, verbatim.)

2. Crickett (The first name for a girl.)

And my personal favorite.

3. Jag Warr (Say it out loud, it's better that way.)


Thank you for reading. I'll be here all week!

P.S He'll be coming round the mountain when he comes!! (That's a shout-out to Zombie fyi!)

P.P.S Dear Dishtowel. Your next!

-twoderful.

Oh Mushu.

He is a very popular guy among us roomies. Mushu has dated Dishtowl, had a fling with Zombie and crushed on Lunchpale and Spooner. He was a busy boy. We first met him through a common friend of ours, Mike. Mike was letting Mushu hang out on his balcony until Mushu had a more permanent residence. Mike left on his mission and Mushu still did not have a place to call his own. Mushu thought Dishtowl and Twoderful were pretty cool so he moved over to their balcony to hang out. The cops caught wind of this and asked Dishtowl and Twoderful to stop letting Mushu hang out. Dishtowl and Twoderful did not want to be thrown in the slammer so they agreed. Mushu was crushed. Dishtowl and Twoderful had a soft spot for him and let him hide in the closet on their balcony. Eventually Dishtowl and Twoderful moved caves. Mushu, lovestruck with Dishtowl, followed like a lost puppy. Mushu hid in the balcony closet at the new cave and his romance with Dishtowl kinda blosomed and but then died very quickly. He still stayed in the closet living like a hermit. Then Dishtowl and Twoderful moved again and Lunchpale, and Spooner met Mushu. Zombie got reacquainted. (She had known him from previous encounters.) Yet again Mushu found his place in the closet and him and Zombie occasionally cuddled and ogled each other. Then as fate would have it the roomies of apt 30 had need for Mushu and his manly muscles to get a toilet up on a roof. He had an accident and 'accidentally' fell off the roof with the toilet. There was much sorrow. Mushu then recooperated for months away from the wild and willy ways of the women he was so fond of. Eventually Mike came home from his mission. He looked up his old buddy Mushu. A few months after Mike had been home he decided to have a Special Party called PJL Day. Mushu was invited. Those who came partied hard!!!! It was fantastic and fun!!! Sadly, it was Mushu's last hurrah. He has passed on now. Gone to a better life. No one knows the cause of death. Investigators suspect it is too high an exposure to toilets. This is all that remains.

Attractive right?

*Disclaimer* 

Mushu is in fact a mannequin. Not a real man.

Dinner!!!!!!!

Okay...I've been saving up tasty morsels of life so that I may share with all of you!!! And I've been waiting till the biggest and tastiest morsel was ready for devouring!!!! I hope you are all ready for this because it is going to be epic!!! I'm going to try and build the momentum so the least tastiest first..... yet still yummy!!!!!

Appetizer:

Where I work I see lots of names.... and some of them are hilarious!!! OK. Here are names of note as of late:

1. Chewbaca (First name for a little girl mind you. No joke. As in the Yeti off of Star Wars.)
2. Gabby Goo (First and Last name for a girl.)
3. Fierce (First name for a boy.)
4. Terror (First name for a boy. Again. No joke.)
5. Mrs. Pennifile (For a teacher. Rhymes with pedophile, no?)

First Course:

When I went to the temple with a friend of mine we were just chatting as we walked up to the main doors. Then her head turned to look diagonally behind us and mine followed. There was this guy holding a Pikachu and he was dressed as Ash Ketchum. Red hat plus vest. Then he went down on one knee. P.S he was talking to a girl and holding her hand the whole time he was dressed like that. Yep. I felt super legit that Ash purposed at the temple and I saw it!!!

Second Course:

While at work there were these two girls who were writing instructions to do different things and because I'd never done this particular task they used me as a trial run to see if I could understand and complete it using their written instructions. So girl A is my test subject and girl B is simply an onlooker. This particular task deals with High School Senior pictures. We have the option to take personalized photos. As in if you are in to sports bring a basketball or if your into music you'd bring your instrument. So. I asked her what she would be wearing for that picture and she says “I'm going to be wearing my wrestling onesie.” Oh. My. Good. Ness. I lost it. I was busting up so badly!!! (P.S Wrestling, the sport mind you, does not happen in onesies.) So, when I had the ability to speak again I asked what props 'he' would have. She answered with, “Yeah, I'll have my wrestling shoes and wrestling earmuffs.” My cheeks hurt so badly from laughing so hard!!!! P.P.S Wrestling also does not happen wearing earmuffs.

Third Course:

I went to an MTC reunion thing of a friend of mine. I brought a couple friends of mine who had been called to his mission and he thought it'd be great for them to be exposed to several who served in that mission. So we came and we saw. It was fantastic! There were 9 missionaries who came and they were all breaking off into broken English mixed with their language. The parts I understood were hilarious!!! There were these two sister missionaries who were companions in the MTC. (P.S MTC is the Missionary Training Center where LDS missionaries go before they actually depart on their missions to receive extra training.) One of the stories they told went like this. Sister A had to leave the room to go get something or other and Sister B had just heated up a microwave pizza. A bunch of sisters had been walking by when they asked her if she wanted to pray with them. So she said yes because saying no was sorta not an option. “Nope I've decided that praying is not for me. You go ahead.” You see the problem. Her pizza had beeped just before they had asked her so she was holding her very warm pizza in her hands. Then they all knelt in a circle as she is holding out this pizza in her hands. Her companion comes back and sees this random group of sisters kneeling with her companion as her companion is holding out this pizza in the middle of the circle. When they were done Sister A says to Sister B “Sister B I was gone for eleven seconds and I come back and your praying to a Pizza!!!!” Can I get an LOL!!! (Laugh out Loud. NOT Lots of Love.)

Dessert:

So I've told some if not all of you about my project I've been working on. So here is the final product.

Happy BIRTHday!

ATTENTION ROOMIES! THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE! 
YOU WILL WANT TO READ IT!

A while ago I was having a conversation with a roommate. I was so giddy with the whole conversation, I was about to burst. So you can all experience the giddy-ness of this conversation, I would like you to do the following:

1) Pretend your Birthday is June 18

2) Pretend like you are actually having a conversation with me.

3) Uh...read the blog post. duh! tee hee.

Me: "Is your Birthday June 19?"

Roommate: "Nope."

Me: "Bummer! I always seem to get it wrong...Is it on the 18th?"

Roommate: "Bingo!"

Me: "Well sweet! I have super cool news for you!!!"

Roommate: "Well then tell me!!"

Me: "Oh, ok. I have the BEST Birthday present for you EVER!"

Roommate: "Why don't you just give it to me for Christmas?"

Me: "Well...I thought about that, but it's just the perfect Birthday present. So I think I'll give it to you for you Birthday."

PAUSE! What I really wanted to say was this: "Well...I thought about that, but it's just the perfect BIRTHday present...cuz guess what!?!?......"

Baby is due June 19, 2012  (Which is the day after your June 18th Birthday. Your perfect Birthday present is you may be sharing the same Birthday as my baby!!! Well...at least super close Birthdays. Plus, you can come and visit me, the hubby and the baby! woop woop!!!-this goes to all you roommates!)

Yeah, that's right. Who's gonna be the cutest lady with a pregnant belly. Me!! :D

My September and October rolled into 7.

Sunset!

I went to a Cowboy convention and this was super cute therefore I captured it in photo!

Once upon a time I decided to be healthy and go running with my dog. Bad idea.

It's a pan. And leaves. Found art!!

Concept for my Halloween costume/sweater.

 Reality for my Halloween costume/sweater.

Nostalgia

I was looking through pictures and feeling very nostalgic.  I miss Apartment 30!  I think we should all live in a cul-de-sac of sorts where we share a common living area but all have a separate home part for our families when we get older/right now.
I miss the quote boards, quote ceiling, getting ready for dances, making fun food, photo shoots, road detours, pinatas, and all the other crazy things we would do.

ba ha ha ha ha

Frozen Olives: Another good idea gone terribly wrong because Twoderful and I got distracted (not difficult to make happen).

Day Trip to Ogden

Lasers?  Yes, Please.  Don't worry that this set of lasers catapulted the concept of lasering Twoderful's Mom's living room.  Epic.

Karaoke.  Institute Dances.  Enough Said.

Quote Board.  Pete.  Couches (remember how we had a broken one. . .).  Easter Egg Hunt.

Dish Towel dropped a cone inside the car.  This was the backup cone which then was held/eaten outside the car on the ride home from Jason's Deli. 

It is fun looking at these pictures because there is so much more going on in them than just the basic shot.  ie: any picture that includes the kitchen sink would also include "Drink" and "Drunk".  Reading the quotes on the board.  Seeing certain objects on the tables or hanging from different areas or whatever.
Great memories were made and I am so glad I have pictures to help me remember.
Thank you!  I meiss you all.
