Top Ten Excuses for Missing Work

Hi guys!!

I know you are patiently waiting for my big give-away - I can tell by how quietly you are sitting - I'm just ironing out the last few details, so  continue to  just be quiet  wait nicely. It's on the way!!

Promise!!

In the mean time, my co-workers and I have been really focused on producing this great list for you. It took us 10 whole minutes of brain storming and at least 30 more minutes of laughing to complete it.

Enjoy!

I, S & K's Top Ten Excuses for Missing Work

These are real reasons that have been used - we didn't make them up OR use them ourselves!

10. "I had to take my girlfriends' cousins' brother to court."

Yeah, I can see why you needed to be involved - such a close relationship and all.

9. "I'm taking the day off because my husbands' appointment went well."

And what? Now you need to celebrate????

8. "The bank doesn't open until 9...."

This is a totally legit reason not to come to work AT ALL!

7. "I have had an unfortunate family emergency."

It wasn't enough to just be an emergency. Nope, it had to be unfortunate as well.

6. "I'm just generally still gross."

Perfectly understandable. Hope you feel not gross soon.

5. "I got caught in the rain over the weekend."

Ok.

4. "I have horrible constipation." Followed by, "Now I have extreme un-constipation." 

WAY too much information. Please just say your sick next time.

3. "I can't come in. I'm having extreme bathroom issues."

Yes, I understand. Oh and just FYI, tomorrow I will be having extreme "bedroom issues".

2. "I won't be in today - we've had an unexpected funeral."

Unexpected death, I get....unexpected funeral? How does that happen?

AND # 1:

"MY DOG HAS A FAT FACE."

That's gooood! Leaves your co-workers guessing!!

Tell me the best excuses that you've heard!! We love the new ideas funny stories!!! :)

Coming soon...

Pics from our awesome anniversary celebration 

AND

an awesome give-away!!

I can't wait to share with you all!!

Stay tuned! :) :) :)

I love you because.....#3

Today, I love you because you're

really CUTE!!

I love that "thug" face you make!!

And I even kinda like your habit of flexing in the mirror and then waiting for me to say "I see you" and then you say "do you like what you see?" 

Well, then, as a matter of fact I do, Mr. Caffee! :)

You also have that cute little droopy eye thing when you get sleepy - I like that I see that in Lu, too.

I really love your smile - the big, huge grin you have when you're laughing hard and I can see all your "Chiclet" teeth. And you have a tiny dimple in your right cheek - I like that the best.

Ah, *sigh*......

Happy (almost) anniversary!

My one and only love!!

I love you because.....#2

Today, I love you because you are

STRONG!

Not just physically, but mentally.

You are down-right, hard core, bad-a$$,

tough!

Ok guys, I'm going to brag on my man

for a second...

Since I have known him he has done the  following things:

1. Completed the Nijmegen March in the Netherlands which is a 100+ mile march in full gear.

2. Completed the German Sports Badge badge.

3. Completed the Army EFMB (Expert Field Medical Badge). In Korea.

4. Earned his Air Assault badge.

5. Ran the Nashville Country Music 1/2 marathon.

6. Finished the Tough Mudder race.

7. And most recently, completed Combative's Level 1 with a quite-possibly-broken rib.

You are always "in training" for something....

It amazes me to watch you push yourself to impossible limits and strive for higher goals all the time! It's never enough to just be good - you push until you can't push anymore. And even though I may complain about your activities sometimes, you inspire me to push myself harder.

And it doesn't hurt that being so tough is pretty sexy! *wink*

Happy (almost) Anniversary!!

I love you!!

I love you because.....

In honor of my 14th wedding anniversary

on October 18th, I am writing about why I love my husband every day until we celebrate!

Little did he realize what he had gotten into all those years ago when he asked me to be his wife! I'm so lucky that he hasn't change his mind! *wink*

Here is to you, and to us, and to many more happy years!
So without further ado, I want you to know that.....

There are TONS of reasons why I love you and I could write all the usual things about like "you're my best friend" and

"you take such good care of our family" and while those things are true, they're not the biggest reasons.

Today, I love you because:

You have a HUGE heart!

We've had a tough year this year. We've had a lot of changes. A lot of struggles. Through it, I have learned so much about who you are and your character.

I always knew you were amazing (of course) but this year I met a different part of you. I have seen the depth of your love for me in a way that I have never seen before. I have seen you be kind and gracious when those around you deserved your worst. I have seen you turn the other cheek time and time again. You have taught me so much about loving someone else unselfishly, without conditions and expectations. 

I get the best of you every single day and I am so very lucky that you picked me! 

Happy Almost Anniversary!

You're my favorite!!!

I have a few "quirks".....

So here's the deal - I have a little "habit" that may be annoying to some people. Heck, it can be annoying to me. BUT, I think everyone has little quirky behaviors that make us unique. I like to refer to them as quirks. And I have A LOT of quirks!

This is how this post came about....

I was in the shower and thinking about not having anything to blog about lately and I so I asked my hubs, who happened to be standing at the sink, for some ideas. Somewhere in that really random conversation that included carabao, football, bad habits and going to the beach, I asked if I had any behaviors that were unique to just me. He replied "not really" and then emphatically turned to face me and threw his hands up in the air and shouted "YOU TALK WITH YOUR HANDS ALL THE TIME, THAT"S SO "YOU"!" 

Uh huh. Nice.

 (frown face, squinty eyes)

Well, I guess that it's true. 

(open eyes)

No, it's true. 

(really open eyes)

Really true. 

(really open eyes + shoulder shrug)

I do that all.the.time. 

(little hops while saying all.the.time)

In fact, if you were talking to me in real life, I probably would have hit you by now. (Hit)

I can't "just talk".  

(shakes head)

I have to express myself with lots of wild gestures and crazy faces. 

(crazy face, wild hands)

When I tell someone that my kid vomited, I can't just say "my kid vomited". 

(more head shaking)

NO WAY!!!!

I have to act out the whole scene.

With sound effects, too.

"GAG, WRETCH, SPLAT"

If I didn't give you all the details, you wouldn't get the  full effect of the point I was making.

Duh!

 (smack to the forehead)

What can I say. 

(eye roll)

I'm quirky that way.

(sigh)

What is your little "quirk" that makes you YOU?
