Girls in bikinis and fine art

Sunday, January 25, 2009

We figured in these tough economic times that we would like a hot tub. Unfortunately we cannot afford one nor do we have a place for one. So Eva improvised us a nice hot tub using one of her little bowls and her Polly Pockets. Sorry for the immodesty.
Since I've gone back to school, Gretta has decided to do more artwork to pass the time. Here is what she can do if I go to school for a week. Pretty impressive for a girl with a paroxysmal dyskinesia. I'm bragging for her. If you don't believe me just check the spelling. :)Eva is pretty funny as normal. Here are a few memorable things she's said over the past few days:

(as Nate was getting dressed) Eva: Daddy, Why are you wearing those pants?
Nate: Because I don't have to go to work today, I'm going to wear jeans.
Eva: I don't like those pants. I like your work pants.
(despite the feedback I did not change my pants)

(Eva singing 'I lived in heaven a long time ago') Eva: Then Heavenly Father presented a beautiful plant.

(When Gretta was stomach sick and had to throw up) Eva: Oh!, you're throwing up? Oooh there's some more. Oh and more ... and more ... and more. Looks like eggs, and pineapple , and juice . . .
Gretta: Nate! Come get her out of here!

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When the wife takes you shopping . . .

I know a lot of guys that HATE going shopping with the wife. Men think it's going to be three hours of "does this look good on me?", "what color do you like best?", and the dreaded "does this make me look fat?". We usually go on autopilot and say "it looks fine", "whatever color you like", and "no you do not look fat" (but we hesitated before we said the last one so we're screwed either way).

So when I went shopping with Gretta today, I was determined to make this time funner for me. So I took her to Hot Topic and found this gem

Fashion Show! Fashion Show! Fashion Show at Lunch!

I am the first one to admit that it is so odd that they are bringing back the 80's style clothing. There is very good reason why they went out of style and for all of us to burn our pictures from that time frame. I was talking with one of my friends the other day about skinny jeans and how they only look good on 1% of the population and they should have never been made again. Then when I was at Target I tried some on just for kicks and I was surprised how good they looked. I think the key was wearing a long shirt that covered my butt (making your butt look huge is the biggest problem with skinny jeans) and now I am eating my own words because I am now a proud owner of skinny jeans. Never say never

Health Update

Friday, January 9, 2009

I have been pretty sick for about 6 months. I've had a seizure like movement disorder and some on and off I couldn't use my arms and legs for a while but luckily I think we found a medication that is helping so so much I feel so good and I haven't had any convolutions all day and I only had about 5 yesterday (that's really good I've had up to 200 before.) I think my Dr.'s are narrowing down what I have but there all big medical words that no one has heard of so I'll spare you until I know which big word it is for sure. I wanted to thank everyone for your prayers and encouraging words of comfort thank you
