A Brunette & Her Sharpie Pen

Because I order the office supplies for my area, I keep the pen samples. As far as I am concerned, it's a perk.

With today's order I received one Sharpie Pen that looks like this:



How very nice! I love Sharpie products. I'm definitely keeping this one for myself.


I look at the pen and notice there is a small cap blocking the writing mechanism. Do you see it at the end of the pens on the right hand side?


I'll just be able to pry that off with my nail.


Wow. It's really stuck on there.


Letter opener. That's too fat. I can't quite get it in the ridge.



Let's try the scissors.


Dang! That thing is stuck on there!


I would use my teeth but I really have paid too much for those to go messing them up over a Sharpie pen.


Come on! I can do this.


Pull hard!


Pop!


The cap on the other end came off.





Oh dear.


Feeling pretty silly about right now.

Road Rage

Do you see the car in this picture?

Here. Let me help you. Do you see the car in this picture? I've drawn a red box around it. Do you see it? Do you?

Well, let me tell you about the driver of this car.

She is the stupidest woman driver I came in contact with today! She nearly killed me! She gives all women drivers a bad name.

Now, I know I don't pay attention all the time either but friends, please don't text and drive. That's what this BLEEP BLEEP was doing? She was holding her phone up, looking DOWN, and swerving in my lane.

At first I was just going to drive by and go on my way. Maybe the driver just slipped but when I saw her texting, I got so angry I slowed down and mouthed out my window, "Really? Really?" And then I held my phone up and motioned for her to put hers down.

She put it down but then she put something else up! Wait. You nearly drive into me and now you're giving me the finger? Puh-lease! I oughta kick your BLEEP! I wonder how you got that dent in your car you stupid BLEEP BLEEPITY BLEEP BLEEP!

This is a family site so I can't type the list of sailor swearing's I was saying in my car along with "I'll show you. Let me just whip MY cell phone out and get a picture of you. You BLEEPITY BLEEP. You just made the O'Pry Blog of Fame for STUPID BLEEPING DRIVERS!"

This is a public service announcement. Please PAY ATTENTION! First, please don't text and drive. It's dangerous and you could cause a wreck and kill yourself or someone else. And second, if you live in the DFW area- stay away from this BLEEP!

I can't quite make out the plate. 3TT-P2C or 3TY-PZC. What do you think?

I need to mount a really good camera on my car that has the trigger on the steering wheel. Now that would be cool! Just think about all the blogging I could do!

Whew! I feel better now. Don't you?

I Guess I Was Big Trouble

Y'all want to see baby Cate?

You already showed us a picture of Cate.

But you didn't see a picture of me holding Cate.

See.

(Cutest, sweetest, cuddliest baby ever.)

Yeah.

I'm going to adopt her.

See she's so sweet.

You said you didn't

want another kid.

You can't do that.

Yes I can.

Nu-uh.

Is it a girl?

Yes.

That's going to be big

trouble when she gets

older!

And there you have it.

All girls are big trouble!

Field Day! Field Day! Field Day!

Field day is tomorrow! Hooray!

Neither of my children are in the photo below but I love it ! They're so happy.

Here's my boy. You might recognize him. He's the one with the open mouth.

Hmm... I'm seeing a trend here. Nice blue tongue, Drew.

JB didn't do so well in the balloon toss! Don't worry, son. You're still a winner to me. Even though you were a loser at the balloon toss. I'm pretty sure it was your partners fault. Or yours. Not sure.

Now you're a winner. Way to go. Winning is more fun. Just saying.

Let's get hopped up on candy and snow cones and sodas and have a wonderful day!

Sounds like a plan, don't you think?

All of the above photos are from Field Day 2009. I'll get 2010's photos up in 2011.

That's how I roll.

Everyone & Their Dog

Where's my cup?

I put it in the dishwasher. Get a new one.

I'll just use this one. It's not dirty.

No. Get a new one.

What? These soccer cups aren't dirty.

Yes they are.

Everyone and their dog has touched them.

Who's dog?

Everyone's dog.

What?

What dog?

What are you talking about?

Everyone has touched those cups.

AND, everyone's dog has also touched those cups.

Everyone and their dog.

I don't get it.

It's a saying.

Well, it's a stupid saying.

Yeah.

This is has been a sample of an actual conversation in our home.
Thank you and your dog for tuning in.

What do you think?

Is it me or is there something disturbing about these flowers?

Is It Me?

Or are these boys seriously cute?

It could just be me but I think they're seriously cute.

I'm a lucky mom.

Look! It's a Jellyfish!

Just kidding. I think it's the dead man's float.

Look, It's a Starfish!

Hurry up summer!

Where I Really Want to Be

I think I have a fever. I think I need to go home.

I think I need to drink one of these:

Or two. Or ten.

Just kidding. Six is plenty. Ten just went better with two.
