i suspect foul play...

i know it's a little weird (read as "creepy") but i had to get a picture of this to share with yall.

in case you can't tell, that is a lizard impaled on a newly-formed branch of my baby oak tree.

seriously... what are the odds?!

proud aunt...

here's a video of one of my nieces and nephews. my blog is public so i'm withholding names/info for privacy. i think they are so stinking talented (i'm bias, i know). enjoy!

hubby's funnies (#6)...

you've probably noted my previous complaints regarding hubby's one-syllable responses, namely to questions i send him via text message.

today i sent a text message that contained only a statement, and to my surprise, i received a response! (my lucky day, i know.)

me: fyi... we're having chicken strips and velveeta shells n cheese for dinner.
hubby: mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

so, either he's on a roll, or i'm just easily amused lately... because i laughed.

hubby's funnies (#5)...

*please excuse the language*

this weekend was jam-packed, my friends. preparing for a surprise party, awaiting someone's flight arrival that had been delayed overnight, awaiting other family members driving in, hosting the surprise party, shopping, family birthday dinner, more shopping.

while preparing my house for the aforementioned barrage of guests...
me: geez, both bathrooms are almost out of toilet paper again. didn't we just buy a 12-pk like two weeks ago?
hubby: well we've had a pretty shitty month...

took me a split second to process it, but then i laughed.

on nutella...

i went to ihop for breakfast last weekend. i browsed the menu, considering my options... when out of nowhere, in big BOLD print, "nutella crepes" jumps off the page! oh, did i ever indulge... they.were.divine.

nutella crepes: swedish crepes slathered with nutella, sliced bananas, folded up and topped with strawberries.

i encourage each and every one of you to try this heavenly creation. but mainly you lindsey... i don't even have words... just "mmmmmmm".

hubby's funnies (#4)...

i always lock the doors in our vehicle whenever hubby leaves me in it to run in someplace quickly. (i AM precious cargo, you know.) sometimes i forget that i've locked them and subsequently forget to unlock them when i see him approach. clearly this frustrates him.

so the other night, hubby runs into a restaurant to pick up our to-go order. i lock the doors and, of course, forget to unlock them. when i do unlock them, he opens the door and says with all seriousness, "sondra, trust me, they will bring you back."

my jaw dropped, but then i laughed.
