Just a Bit of Silliness Really

If you are in the mood for a little chuckle. The first two are the Australian version of the TV show "Thank God Your Here" and the last one is this super random, short film, with a super random ending, that is pointless, and great. Hope you enjoy.

Skeletons in the Closet

Considering the overall timeline of my life, I have a pretty clean record. I mean, I've had my share of mishaps, a tiny black mark here and there, but nothing that if the CIA ever did a background check to recruit me into their agency, would cause them to reject my application. Or if I ever became a senator for the US government, there wouldn't really be any material for blackmail some terrorist or jealous competetor that wanted all my money and position could threaten me with. But, alas this Thanksgiving, a "skeleton" if you will, was pulled out of the deepest, darkest, inner most part of my closet, off a shelf so far back, I didn't even know it existed. Yes, I discovered today, that while one may have done their best all their life to keep their record clean and their lifestyle pure, others can cause just enough shame and embarrasment without their being aware. I sit before my computer, a humiliated authoress.

I have a male cousin my age. We're really close. This wasn't always the case. We ignored each other as children, even teenagers, but as adults, when boys stopped being gross to me, and girls to him, we became good friends.

My aunt, (his mom,) myself, and my cousin were sitting around chatting today, and I don't remember how the conversation came up, but all of the sudden my aunt's talking about Junior High, and that one time I asked my cousin to go to a dance with me.

WHAT???

I NEVER did that. And she goes on about how she wouldn't let him go because he was to young to go on a date, and he was like, yeah, that was really weird. And I'm just looking at them like,

WHAT?

My jaw is dropped, and all I can say is,

"WHAT?"

My aunt finally started to read the deep confusion on my face, and says, "You don't remember this?"

"WHAT?"

Silence.....

When I finally come to from my shock, I dramatically inform them that I never did any such thing. And my aunt replies that there was a middle man communicating for me. Or, I guess you could say, a middle woman. In Jr. High my MOM went behind my back, and tried to set me up with my COUSIN, step cousin, which doesn't really ease the pain, for a dance. WHAT????!!! Are you kidding me? There's my cousin, my good friend, sitting there, thinking for the past 10 years, that I asked him out on a date!

WHAT???

Good bye CIA, good bye US Senator!

After I explained my uninvolvement in this black mark written in invisible ink on my record, I pondered what my poor cousin must think of me, and sensed any disfunction and issues with my mom just went up 15 points.

I am undone.

Happy Thanksgiving.

The Last 2 Days

Guess what I was for Halloween?


Little Red Riding Hood!


All the people who dressed up in my history class. Second from the left is my teacher. She was a renaissance man. The guy in silver is a beer keg.


I went to a Halloween party and thought this pic was worth sharing. Andrew is Superman after letting himself go. Notice the chunk.

Today was my Ashleigh's Birthday.



We rode in this:


I had to ride in the front with the driver, (I was the "Limo Chaperon") but it was still pretty awesome.



We went to a place in Temecula called Libby Lues where they do little girl's hair and make up. They get four choices. It was fascinating for me cuz I learned 4 new hair styles to practice. Here are some pictures from that.









And finally we returned to Ashleigh's for Pizza and Cake and presents and Silly String.


The day ended with hearing Pastor Judah preach at GC. All in all, a fantastic day!
