Have you ever. . .

done something really silly and got caught in your own stupidity? I mean like this picture- ok this boy got the not so bright idea to stick his head through the hole in a chair and it got stuck. Not such a big deal if you are able to get out of it on your own or if your buddy needs to help you and then you both can laugh about it later. But what I mean is that he got caught in his silly mistake- the fire dept. has to come and cut him out at school!

For me, I thought it would be cool if I could do a handstand. I was in college and helped out in JH and I thought it would be neat if I could just drop down into a handtand at TNL one night and walk around on my hands. I can't do a handstand. So I decide to practice against a wall so I can figure it out. While I am upsidedown against this wall in my parents house watching Jeopardy, I start to lose my balance and kick my legs out to gain it back. Well I kick the solid oak clock with a pendulum and chimes off the wall. Thinking, "oh great, I broke the clock," I suddenly realized that my finger hurt. I looked at my hand and screamed in pain because I completly broke my right hand ring finger in half. And the ring I was wearing was now smashed flat inbetween my 2 bone pieces.

Well it is a long and crazy story of what all happened that night but needless to say I needed surgery to put my finger back together. I had 2 pins in there- it was crazy, all for a handstand.

Do you have a story of where you did something silly and others totally found out? Tell me your story!! I can't wait to hear about it!

a new game

I found this really cool puzzle game- its called Hyperflash and what you have to do is link up squares of the same color on a 3d cube. Ok- sounds lame but I swear it is addicting!!! Give it a go. They have a speed version or a mind version. You see how quick you can solve easier puzzles or you solve increasingly difficult puzzles as you go up levels- pretty cool stuff:)

Here is the link

Try it and let me know what level or speed you get to! Right now I am at level 18 and my speed score is 13200. How did you do?

Prodigy

Do you know what that is? It is a young person who is capable of doing something way beyond what most adults could even do. Someone who is extremly talented and gifted beyond their years- a genius. I just saw this cool video about a girl prodigy. She is your age and is an amazing painter. She says she is inspired by God- her story is so cool you have got to watch!

Click here to watch the video and click here to go to her website and see more of her art!

I can't resist the cuteness

So my husband is allergic to cats so I will never have oen but these pictures are so stinkin cute!!! Plus have just pictures of cats means no fuss and no mess:)

Eventually we do want a dog though. Right now we are in an aparatment so no pets but hopefully we'll get into a house soon. We figured we should start witha dog before we think about children- ha!

The Hair is Cut!!!

Thank you all so much for participating in my forever quest of a new haircut. The deed is done. This morning our very own Lisa Horstman cut my hair in the Kate Beckinsale style. This cut got a lot of votes in the poll. The poll winner was actually Paula's haircut but Niki and my sister both voted for Kate's hair and their votes count super double. So thanks for all your help in this long decision process:) If you click on the "hair" or "student poll" labels you can see the whole process.



Here is my new do:

Blogged out

So I just updated to the new version of Blogger and now you can add tabs to all your posts so you and others can seach by genre or whatever to find different posts that are related under a category. I think I spent about an hour categorizing all my past blogs. So I don't feel very bloggy today. You know when you stare at a computer so long that your eyes dry out and get all red and stuff- that is me. No fun. That's all I got this week- a whole lotta nothing. Sorry- check back next week.

Oh great- I was looking up a picture to put with this blog and I found the one I used along with this article "Research conducted on 10,000 Japanese employees suggests a link between the length of time spent using a computer and the development of glaucoma, a relatively common eye disease that develops very slowly, characterized by progressive sight defects or visual field abnormalities over time."

Shish.

Scary Santa!!!

It seems like every Christmas I go through a mall or any place where children may gather , there is always a huge line to see Santa. Ok- so I understand that kiddos want to make sure he knows what they want for Christmas, the thing that is funny to me is that not everyone is happy to see Santa. For every happy, smiley-faced child that comes to see Santa, it seems there is an unhappy one- a very vocally unhappy child. But it never fails that every year parents will bring their child to see Santa and get that perfect picture that will get sent out in the family Christmas card. Helplessly they stand by and watch their sweet little cherub of a child turn into a wailing, screaming baby at the first sight of that white beard and red suit. What is so scary about Santa? Here are some funny pics of kids who are scared of Santa (and one of me and some friends who of course had to get a picture with Santa at Disneyland- hence the crowns. Some people never grow up:)
