"Just Google it..."

I find myself saying "Oh, I have to Google (or Bing) that!!" frequently and lately, I have been Googling (is that spelled right) some pretty random stuff! I think I am going to end up on some kind of watch list soon.


1. "Where can I purchase an ape?" - my 6 year old requested "a ape" for her birthday. How can I say no?


2. "What kind of spider is this?" My friend found this in her bathroom! Yes, it's real. No, it won't hurt you.

3. "Is it illegal to tape record your co-workers?" One of mine accidentally recorded a phone conversation I had recently. I've decided to sue for billions. I feel I have a very strong case, too.


4. "Ideas for a Planet of the Apes party?" See above - this child is going to kill me with birthday party themes.


5. "Why does my phone ding so much?" Because is is a freaking annoying, cheap, stupid piece of crap, that's why. I'm exchanging it today, I hope.

6. "What is the state bird of Guam?" This one was for work, but it's still pretty weird. By the way, it's the Ko'ko which is ugly. It used to be a Marianas Rose Crown Fruit Dove which is not, That's how they roll in Guam.

Ko'ko

Other one

7. "How does Santa get to Guam?" Why, like this, OF COURSE!!




8. "Why does one ear turn red when I drink wine?" I still don't know, but this is how it happened. Thank you, sweet friends who like me better when I'm intoxicated!! 

I don't know how I knew anything before the internet! 

Maybe I should Google that! 

"How did people know anything before Google?"

The answer: 
Your search - "How did people know anything before Google?" - did not match any documents. :)


Happy New Year's Eve, my lovelies!!!

Resolutions??

There was some talk in our office today about resolutions and the New Year -

one of us was asking the other two of us about making resolutions;

What they were?

How to came to make them?

How we were going to fulfill them?

UGH!

I think I hurt my brain!

Last year, I wrote a resolution blog about eating more chocolate,

being quieter, and being more "green".

I also resolved to move to Guam.

I DID move to Guam, so yay me for keeping one of my resolutions!!

I also did eat more chocolate, so yay me, again!

I'm still the same amount of "green" and that's good, at least I haven't back tracked!

Being quieter - FAIL!

Oh well, 3 out of 4 ain't bad!

For 2012 I have a few goals.

Most are the usual get healthier, be a kinder person, 

and the like. But for really, truly, life changing

resolutions....I got nothin'!!

Maybe deep down I feel like I can't improve on perfection....

Did I really just type that?

NO! I blame my cat for that!

What? Cats can type!

For reals, though, yo!

I am stumped! 

Guam is slowly depleting me of brain cells.

What are your resolutions?

Maybe I can copy you???

That's it!! I will resolve to plagiarize!!

Please leave your comments and I'll just copy you, mmmkay?

Happy New Year!!

Merry Christmas from the Land of Lizards!

So, I suppose I should write a bit about Christmas, right?

Except I can't think of anything clever or witty.

I've been struggling with some serious brain-drain of late, I'll have you know.

Don't get me wrong, I ADORE anything and everything Christmas; twinkly lights, little snowman faces, giving gifts, surprising and spoiling my kiddos, all of it!! I've even grown to like "Jack Linden" our silly Elf on the Shelf! I must admit I keep forgetting about him this year, he has been sitting on our wreath for about 6 days now, lazy elf!!

This year is just odd - no snow, no winter boots or lazy-lay-around-snow-days, it's too hot for hot chocolate and there are palm trees with Christmas lights everywhere. 

Not bad, just different.

Lu keeps asking if Santa will ride in a boat to get here or if he'll just swim. Funny girl!

I guess I can check the writing a Christmas blog off my to do list now....

Merry Christmas!!!

My Husband is going mental and it's all my fault and some random crap.....

Hey there!

It's been a little bit since Thanksgiving and I'm finally

done digesting. Phew. 

I now know what a python must feel like after eating a pig. 

It's not very pretty.

In the meantime, I have been bothering

my dear hubs with weirdness and the like.

Poor guy is going to wind up in the D ward nibbling on crayons if I don't stop my shenanigans!!

Here is an example of the conversations I make him have with me almost daily:

(In my own defense, I didn't start this one.)

As I was getting into bed last night, he announces that from this moment forward he will call me "Bunny". I said no. He said why? I replied that I call our sweet niece "Bunny" and then there was that little thing about my name being KELLY.

He then said that my Mom had really named me "Bunny" and that he thought calling me Bunny Caffee Caffee was really cute. Yeah, ok, whatever....

SO, then I said that his little story had reminded me of a story that his Mom had told me years ago when we were first married. I told him that she used to call him "Bo Bo" but stopped because his Grandma told her that it sounded like he had special needs. He was pretty surprised that he had never known that and yet I did. He also added that "Bo Bo" made him sound like a clown with special needs. 

If you know me, then you know that this kind of behavior makes me laugh so hard that I cry and usually that's a dead give away that I'm not exactly telling the truth.

My sweet hubs asked me repeatedly if I was lying and even though I was laughing like a wild hyena, I managed to convince him that I was telling the truth. He even threatened to call his Mom and ask her, but I was relentless and encouraged him to do it! After a few minutes, he said, quite seriously, "This explains a lot of my childhood trauma. My Mom calling me "Bo Bo" and making me wear girls' tennis shoes." (They weren't really girls' tennis shoes, but his brothers told him they were and being just a little guy of 7 years, he believed them.)

People, I almost peed right there in the bed, I was laughing so  hard. I came clean (how could I not after a statement like that??) and told him I was going to blog about it.

And so I did.

I give him about 2 years until he is completely certifiable. 

On a very random side note:

This morning on my way to work I witnessed a cockfight.

On the side of the road. 

It was pretty violent, too. Those roosters have some serious claws! Who knew? 

Well, at least I can check that experience off my Bucket List.

*sigh*

Only in Guam....
