Welcome to the world BENJAMIN (no middle name yet) TURNAGE!!!!!

So tired....

So I used to be a grandma and would go to sleep every night at 10:30. And my life was great.

Then, we started all the stoopin' and now I never want to go to bed because all my friends are having fun without me. So for about the past 6 nights in a row, I've gone to bed in the wee hours of the morning. Last night was especially good when I went to bed a little after 2. When my alarm went off at 7 this morning, I was SUPER DOOPER sad. I am always so tired now.

Maybe I should go back to being a grandma.. I think it was a better time for me.

Jake Day

The stages of Jake Day... in the Words of Jake....

Stage 1: You took me away from my mother and I will kill you.

Stage 2: I will allow you to hold me as long as you continue to feed me this sucker.

Stage 3: Please get rid of the chicken noodle gerber dinner and bring back my sucker.

Stage 4: It is slightly better to be outside with the crazy girls that inside with the crazy girls.

Stage 5: Somehow this monster is funner to be with than Maggie.

Stage 6: Maybe if I take a nap, I'll wake up and realize being snatched away from my mother was all just a bad dream.

Stage 7: I woke up and realized it wasn't a nightmare, it was reality. I can't even bare to look at them.

Stage 8: First kidnapping, now she covers me with these giant glasses. Where's CPS when you need them?

Stage 9: Please let me out, Please let me out!!
Stage 10: This girl is so dumb. I learned that if I smile at her, she will spend about an hour trying to get 5 drops of water out of the very bottom of a water-bottle using nothing but a straw.

Stage 11: If they won't let me go, I'll drive myself. Momma, I'm coming home!!!

In all seriousness, Jake was really good all day. And although it was a little chilly between us at the beginning, he warmed up quickly and we had a ton of fun. I'm so glad I got to play hookie for the day and spend it with baby Jake. He is just the cutest and the funnest and I wished I could play with him more often. Thanks for letting me keep him Cathy!!!

I will be kidnapping this baby all day tomorrow!! I'm so excited for JAKE DAY!!!

Karyn the Bellydancer

So yesterday My roommate Karyn and I were texting Megan and decided to mess around with her a little. See, it was this boy Alex's birthday yesterday, and we told Megan that Karyn was doing a belly-dance in full costume as his present. And I didn't think she would, but Megan completely believed us. So we kept it going for a while and it just kept getting funnier and funnier. We started telling Megan stupid things like, "Karyn was doing a turn and some beads fell off of her costume." And everytime I texted ehr something dumber than the last time, I was just sure she was going to realize it wasn't true. But every single time she believed me.

So as this went on, I knew that Megan would call me when she got out of her class, cause she always does. So I told Karyn it would be funny if we had some Indian music playing in the background when Megan called me. Of course Karyn jumps up and goes, "Hey, I have some music that would be perfect!!" So right as we found the song and played it, Megan called. As soon as she heard the music she just believed everything I had told her. She told me to make sure that Karyn danced for a few more songs so that she could drive home and see. I was dying laughing.

As Karyn and I waited for Megan to come home, this boy Alex showed up at my apartment. So obviously, I told him everything that I had told Megan. So when Megan got home, he totally played into and made Megan believe everything we had told her for the longest time. Finally I was laughing so hard that I finally had to tell her that it was all a lie and we just randomly made it up.

So anyway, that was my random fun for yesterday... Maybe today I'll play a little trick on Liz.....

I'm spending the weekend in Logan with Megan, Liz, Christine, Ray and Brittany!

It should be a blast!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTINE!!!!

The birthdays just keep a coming this week!! Today is CHRISTINE'S BIRTHDAY.... and she decided to come out to Utah for her birthday this year so we get to play with her this weekend, which totally makes me happy.

I freaking love Christine and she is the greatest sister. I especially love her because she let me crash at her pad for a few months after I finished school, for which I am very grateful. And she made me the most beautiful purse cake right before I moved to Utah. I don't know very many people who could just whip out a purse cake.

I hope you have the greatest birthday and I wish I was as talented as you that I could make you a purse cake for your birthday, but I'm afraid you're going to have to settle to a big smooch on the cheek when I see you in Logan!!!
