Metro Gnome

Okay, honestly? I can't handle not sharing any longer. This week's Get Fuzzy is hilarious! Don't believe me? See below:







You can click on the images to make them bigger, too--you know, so you can actually read them. [Images courtesy of comics.com] But maybe reading things is overrated and I'm just behind with the times. It's happened before. Oh well.

Our Children

So I recently went to this website where I could submit a picture of me and a picture of Sam, and it would pop out a picture of what our kids will look like. Just because I'm sure you're dying to see the results, here they are:

Ella Elizabeth Kelly

We think this one is a pretty good fit, since both Sam and I had pale blond hair and light eyes when we were little. Isn't she cute?!

Frederick Lee Kelly

So the website definitely just sticks different hairstyles on the same face, so for this to be more accurate he'd probably have to be blond, but still. He's so dang cute! I hope our real kids are as cute as these generated ones. I'm just glad they don't look as weird as the generated kids on How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. Seriously.

My Adventure

Okay, so I've been saving this story for my blog, and now I finally have time to tell it.

My Tuesday morning adventure.

So on Tuesdays and Thursdays I've been dropping Sam off at school on my way to work (because for some weird reason, he likes being on campus as 6:00am. I know. Crazy. Personally, I think the campus is a little creepy before 7:30. It's so empty!), and when he got his stuff out, he was like, "Oh wow, honey, we're a perdiddle!"

And all of a sudden, it made sense why I couldn't see anything when I was driving on the freeway at a time in the morning when everyone should be asleep. Seriously, it was like a light bulb went off.

So I went on my merry way, a little excited to be something as interesting as a perdiddle, and when I got to about the University Mall, I saw flashing lights behind me. And I knew exactly why I was getting pulled over, because I'm not stupid enough to overestimate the speed limit more than once. Especially with how expensive the tickets are for said overestimating.

So the officer glanced at my license, insurance, etc., and then said, "So the reason I had you pull over is because one of your headlights is off."

Though not honest, I'd decided the best course of action was to play dumb. So I widened my eyes and said, "Really? Which one?"

Honestly, he looked a little relieved that I didn't know. Maybe he thought I was the crying type, and he didn't want to deal with it at 6:00 in the morning. And he totally would have been right, too. So he smiles, all friendly, and says, "The passenger side one, I think." Then he walked around to make sure for me.

I said, "Oh wow. Thanks for letting me know!"

He smiled again and said, "No problem. Just make sure to get it taken care of soon, okay?"

And of course I said, "Okay!" I mean, I'm not an idiot. So I was feeling pretty good as I drove away, both about my performance and about having such a pleasant getting-pulled-over experience. And then when I got to the light, he'd totally pulled up behind someone else. And since both of their headlights were shining brightly, I don't think they got off as easily as me. So I guess we both ended up having a good morning.

And that was my Tuesday morning adventure. Ta-dah!

High School Musical

Tonight Sam braved his fear of pre-teen entertainment to go see High School Musical 3 with me at the dollar theatre (which, by the way, is not the dollar theatre anymore--it's the dollar and twenty-five cents theatre! what's up with that?!). [Photo from cwlee1986.blogspot.com]

Isn't he sweet? It was totally awesome the second time, too (provided you had a good laugh at the corny parts). And the best part about it was that there were only, like, two kids in the theatre, which was pretty full--the rest were adults. Adults that were there because they like the movie. We were sitting next to the funniest group of guys (yes, you read right--guys), who made the most hilarious comments the whole time. But it was okay that they made fun of it, because you could tell they liked it. And they totally clapped and danced along to the music. It was awesome.

Oh, and we went to Olive Garden beforehand for salad and breadsticks, and the wait was totally over a half hour, but then Sam goes to the hostess, "Can we just sit at the bar?" and she was like, "Same food, same service," so we were totally finished with our meal by the time we would have just gotten seated. How totally amazing is Sam? He's a genius.

p.s. Mimi, if you're reading this, Sam doesn't think Zac Efron's look is soul-searching/searing. He says he just looks confused. I know. I don't know what I'm going to do with him.
