Going Private

Our blog is going private! I want to keep you beauties as blog friends, so please leave me your email address so I can send you an invite. And if we're not blog friends but we are supposed to be, leave me your address. Don't you dare be coy with me. Just leave it!

P.S. And if your's is private, send me an invite already, dang it! :) meraboo at hotmail dot com. (Meraboo has been my dad's nickname for me my entire life, and yes I've had the same email address since I was 11).

P.P.S. I think I broke my toe the other day. I was outside with Olivia (my 4 year old neice) and Lucy and I was letting Olivia spray the grass with the hose and its big metal shower head attachment when she suddenly got bored with it and threw it to the ground with some decent force. She didn't mean to and actually didn't even realize she'd done it, but she threw it directly onto my second toe. Perfect aim. I immediately started jumping up and down on one foot, holding my toes, letting out guttural screams and trying SO, SO hard not to cry and swear. I did feel the tears welling, and that's embarrassing for an adult... the crying out of physical pain thing. They both stood there watching me, confused, and then Olivia said, "Are you alright?" with a hint of, "You're a weird aunt," in her voice. So I picked up the hose and started chasing after her with it, and tried my best to throw it at her. hahaha. That last part didn't happen.

Then, (it gets better) about two hours later, all of us went to Guru's for lunch and I grabbed a high chair for Lucy and started awkwardly lumbering across the entire restaurant with it. (Have you noticed high chairs are always located at the exact farthest point of place from you?) I finally reached my destination, and, huffing and puffing slammed the high chair down. ONTO MY SECOND TOE. Yes yes! One of the legs came crashing down, landing squarely on the same toe. I yelled out a hearty SONOFABIIII!!! and again started jumping up and down, trying not to cry. How you might ask, could one manage to inflict this chain of events to just one little toe? No other toes were touched in either case. What aim! What precision! Well it happened folks. It happened to my little second toe. The poor dear. Walked with a limp the rest of the day and days following. You'd think I broke my leg.

Now, don't you judge this little footie of mine. I'm in desperate need of a pedi. If you are judging, I know you are not a mother of tiny children. And if you're not a mother of tinies, you should probably offer to babysit, so I can get away for an hour and go get a pedi.
See why I have to go private? Stop judging me!! And leave me your email address. :)

Hi, you don't know me... and looking at the other comments, there are a lot of other blog stalkers out there too besides just me. :) I know you don't remember me, but we used to be in the 21st ward together, and your mom was my YW's president. Your mom really helped my family while my mom had serious health problems- I still think about how much she helped me during that time. I cried when you guys moved away!
I would love to keep reading your cute blog, if you don't mind! My email is dhjolley@gmail.com. My blog is private, but I'll send you an invite if you want to make sure I'm not a creepo!

bethany said...

I especially love how you talk so adoringly about your older sister....now she is REALLY the one I would like to know. She just sounds so smart and funny and lovely, and pretty. Anyway, please send me an invite...thanks. My email is bethanyk14@hotmail.com

I need your Blog like I need my Dr. Pepper to make it through the day! When you blog I can count on having to change my shorts when I am done reading cause you never cease to make me laugh uncontrollably so pick me pick me! SO I can still have a good laugh at the end of a long stressful day with the kiddos... P.S.by the way we went to high school together I was a year older maybe two! THanks for making me laugh again!
