Let's Get the Blog outta here

i like the word Blog. Blog, Blog! Bloooooog.... Bbbbbbbllllog....

So a couple of weeks ago matt and I decided to go on a picnic. And by decided i mean I kidnapped him and made him go on a picnic with me. And by picnic I mean we went through the Arby's drive-thru, then parked at lake Carroll and ate with the windows rolled down. Classy. (bt dubs...their arby's roast burgers are just as the commercials claim...not sure why they didn't try adding lettuce etc. earlier but its Spectacular!)

Anyway so we were enjoying each other's company, talking about really deep stuff like what we want to eat for dinner and what we would look like if we were cartooned... when Matt decided to chunk one of his fries out the window at the passing geese. We go back to talking and then realize the geese passing by are getting much closer. I'm like, "Matt, don't feed the geese arby's fries...I don't think its good for them." Matt's like, "What? its like a vacation from all that boring bread... yeah, that's spicy... yeah... you like it dont ya," he says to the geese, not me...if he said that to me that would just be weird. He looks at me again and adds, "And besides I'm sure they've been fed worse." I look out my window and see a goose trying to each some ABC gum ! Ew, gross!

We go back to talking and then look out a few minutes later and it was like we were instantaneously surrounded! Black geese, white geese, multicolored geese ahhh.. we felt trapped! There were at least 10 of them and they were squawking at the windows begging for the arby fries of goodom... actually I would say that they were being pretty rude... they were damanding it like I owed them something. And one (see below) would bend down in front of the car and then pop up closer, and kept doing it until finally we were staring each other down. Man to goose. He would not break eye contact. All this because I wouldn't give it a fry? Did I back down? NO!


I had enough time to take a pic and then go back to staring. I showed that goose who was boss... until he really wouldn't stop staring and I got super creeped out. And at that moment I was like, "Matt....let's get the blog outta here before this turns into a Hitchcock flick or a youtube video"

(I say blog because well...I wanted to censor my filthy language and since I like the word blog so much...why can't I insert/use it where ever I want? Observe.... I'm giving you my blogumentary about what happened.... a blog by blog if you will... this is blogsome! or blogtacular! )

So after the demon goose wouldn't break eye contact and his lil buddies wouldn't stop squawking we knew we had to get outta there. And we did. My little kid chameleon almost claimed a squawky geese or two.... but thankfully my incessant beeping made them get out of the way. Too bad the people across the street from us didn't see the geese on my side of the car.... It was even more awkward when I yelled out the window "Eat my dust Goose!" Dangerous creatures.


Apparently this blog is all about creatures because I have another creepy creature kundrum cory... i mean story. Creepy Creature Kundrum story... ok, sorry... where was I ? Oh yeah, well we went on a work retreat this past week. It was great. A lot of team building was going on. We stayed in nice cabins, no roaches, no mosiquitos, nothing... except this one dead bug. And where was it? In the bathroom, directly in front of the toilet. I didn't noice it at first. I ran into the bathroom really quickly when we were on a break and kinda glanced down like "what the blog is that?"


When I went back to my cabin for bedtime later that night I realized the super creepiness of the situation. Its like it died staring up at someone sittin' on the john. Did I discard its carcas? No. I took a picture. Look closer:

Its like " Hey, hey you... I see you."

Its probably still sitting there in its final resting place being as creepy as ever.

Wedding News!

Ok so we have figured out the date of our engagement party! Yay. And we figured out we are going to have it at Matt's Grandma's house in Gwinnett!

Also...not really wedding news...but still exciting... Matt got a new car! STen (his truck is a Chevy S-Ten name Sten) got sick early this year. It was leaking fluids and the cooling system is all messed up. And Matt just put a brand new bloggity blog transmission in sten that cost an arm and leg. So finally he was like "Blog it! I'm gettin' a new car!" So yesterday we met his grandparents and my mom at the Toyota dealership at the Mall of Georgia and he got an "oh-so-manly" Toyota yaris onyx. I told him it's hilarious...he said "I don't care this sucker gets 35 miles to the gallon and gas isn't getting any cheaper." He's right. And his car is so much fun!

Funny story... Matt wanted to look presentable while trying to buy a car so he went to trim down his beard. Well he had a little Woops! and shaved part of it off! And he couldn't go out looking like that...right? so he shaved his face completely. It looks so weird! I've only seen him one other time without facial hair...and that was 3 years ago. He has such a baby face without a beard...i don't like it.

In person its even weirder.
