I attended a service project on Saturday

The people in my stake washed cars for free. While their car was being washed, the sister missionaries talked to them about the gospel. The best part was that people were so confused. They kept saying

"But why is it free??"

We waved signs

People were entertained by us, they even took pictures.

While we held signs, Keli'i thought outside the box.

Blessed (or cursed as he would think) with the height of Goliath, MM was

assigned to wash the tops of the cars.

We washed cars. We dried cars.

We passed out treats. (Kenz loves treats)

But we spent most of the time threatening Wes (one of our neighbors) not to spray us with the hose.

It was a successful service project. The only time it wasn't raining was the hours from 10-12 during the carwash. It was meant to be.

Sami Plankton

came to McDonalds with us tonight. Mickenzie didn't feel like changing after work.

He is light gray, dark gray and red.

I have a favorite necklace

it was a dollar at Charlotte Russe. It turns my neck green but I love it anyway.

I wore it on Friday but I didn't want my neck to be green for fall ball. I was having trouble getting the green off.

Maybe there was some Windex sitting on the dresser.

Lets just say I want to be best friends with Mr. Portokalos on My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

It's ok if you get just a little bit jealous right now.

It's ok if you secretly wanted to be my friend now that you've seen my house.

It's ok if you secretly wished this was your house.

We can still be friends if you have dreamed your whole life of living in a house like this.

BUT

We will be best friends forever if your preferred reaction was to throw up a little bit and then wonder who occupies this disaster of a house.

For as much as we know about the inhabitants of the house, there is still so much that we don't know. I know that the house is next door to my 900 year old midget piano teacher. I do know that my piano teacher is mad that the value of her house is going down with the addition of each new pillar. I do know that is is nicely nestled in an otherwise perfectly normal and upscale neighborhood. I do know that I usually accidentally drive the long way to work so that I can have the honor of a drive by (in case there have been additions.) I do know that the owners would be shocked to know that someone disapproved of their decor.

At this very moment you are probably asking yourself "But what are they doing with all that stuff?" Please. The question is, What aren't they doing with all that stuff? The possibilities are endless. I mean, it is perfectly normal to have a water-less fountain, ten pillars topped with life-sized cherubs, a gothic stone gazebo and an assortment of stone fence pieces all in your front yard.

So I present the dilemma:

What would you do?

It all comes down to being a good citizen.

Should you tell someone that their skirt is tucked into their underwear?

Should you tell someone that they have toilet paper stuck to their shoe?

Should you tell someone that their jeans make them look fat?

Or that there is lettuce stuck in their teeth?

Or that their fly is down?

Should you tell someone that their million dollar investment in yard ornamentation is in fact is the eyesore of the neighborhood and all the whole neighborhood hates them?

I don't know. But since I appreciate a quality awkward situation, I think I would just make friendy neighbor chatter and wait to see how much more awesomeness can possibly go into one yard.

My blog is now better than

FACEBOOK.

Why?

Because I added a "Like"button

I one-upped FB by also doing the sane and rational thing and including a "Dislike" button.

Incase you want to dislike something.

Happy "Liking" AND "Disliking"

Just Maybe #6

Turns out, Google Earth is actually awesome.

Maybe I stalked some of my neighbors to see which ones have swimming pools.

Its just a good thing to know.

My mom will be proud to know

that I ironed my skirt today for church. And I tied the bow right.

"Oh my 14 foot burrito!" AKA Fall Ball 2009

Me, ready and sleepy. I had a little nap.

DHall and Pocahontas. Sorry I can't rotate these.

Kenz and Keli'i

Me and MM

DHall and Pocahontas

Keli'i having a conversation with the Cheesecake Factory buzzer

"It's ringing it's ringing! Hello?"

Those 2 people were totally staring at us. Probably because we are adorable!

MM never makes normal faces. He was hugging me so that he could sneak into my

purse and get a Tootsie pop.

Keli'i's special talent

Keli'i the pimp

Me, also a pimp

Youtube "Coffee Twins." Just do it.

Pumpkin cheesecake is so yummy!

Dancing

me and Harvey

Tyler and Suzanne

Sneak attack on Spencer

Our feet hurt so we took off our shoes.

In the car

Great night!!

Today, Sami Plankton

got to spend the day with me and Kenz. He isn't always invited so I think he was a happy camper. So was Kenz.

Anyone figured out who Sami Plankton is?

Just Maybe #5

Kenz and I only do laundry when we run out of clean underwear. There are no exceptions.

But sometimes we just buy more underwear.

Clear bra straps

are CLEAR

They are NOT

Invisible

I have been hearing alot

lately at work about how I am not doing my job.

Complaints apparently.

I was worried for a bit.

And once we got down to the real issue I just laughed.

It turns out that I don't refill the spider-web bowl with old Halloween candy as fast as people would like.

Yes, my office definately has their priorities straight.

"Her husband is HUGE!"

On Halloween, Pocahontas got invited to a block party. We got all dressed up. We went to it for 5 minutes and that was all it took for us to realize that we would need a more exciting plan.

MM and Me (Cowboy and Cowgirl), Suzanne (Barbie) and Pocahontas (Tom Cruise from Risky Business)

Making funny faces

Cowboy boots :)

Barbie

We went to Ruby Tuesdays (we love the salad bar) and we went downtown to Waikiki.

If you never get the chance to Waikiki on Halloween, let me give you a few words to describe the experience:

Crowded

Naked and drunk people

Smelly

Creative

Crazy

Basically, people just get dressed up and walk around and take pictures with each other.

We found Aladdin and the Genie

A Spartan

Quote of the night:

Random drunk guy talking to me: "wow you are just so pretty. look at you beautiful"

Me: Just smiled at him and continued to hold MM's hand

Drunk guy's friend: "Dude be careful her husband is HUGE!"

After which we realized that MM's boots and cowboy hat make him appear 7 feet tall.

It was so fun but we were so tired.

Just Maybe #4

Maybe, just maybe when Leena Lou was little she thought the lyrics to a certain song in Saturday's Warrior were (and I quote baby Leena)

"Pip pippy soap, pip pippy soap"

When they are in fact "Who can survive, who can survive"

And we still don't let her forget it.

I have a confession.

If you think I am wierd after you read this, I don't blame you.

There has not been one night this whole semester where I have slept in my own bed. In fact, I store my clothes on it. I sleep in Kenz's bed. It's big. It's like a giant sleepover in the treehouse every night.

But we have a problem.

I have a pink blankie.

Kenz has a pink blankie.

And 96.3% of the time, I wake up and Kenz is sleeping with my pink blankie. I think she can't tell them apart in the dark.
