Nine words

My sister in law sent me this and I can't get over how funny and true it is so I just have to share it all with you!

NINE WORDS WOMEN USE

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man... That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying @#$% YOU!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

My huckleberry friend

Today it is like a blizzard outside smack dab in the middle of spring. However I am not complaining too much because it sets the perfect mood for me to stay inside and cuddle with a blanket on the couch. I woke up with a miserable cold this morning and would be hating it if it was sunshiney and warm outside, so atleast with it snowy I don't feel like I am missing out on much. So right now I am catching up on all the great old classic movies of Doris Day and Audrey Hepburn that I haven't seen in ages. I have to say, even though my throat feels like its on fire and my head feels like a balloon, thanks to these movies, I am really enjoying myself. I hope you all have a great snowy day too!

Powder Mountain

Bragging moment...Doug is the best snowboarder I have ever seen! He has been doing flips and back flips off 15-20ft cliffs and did his highest jump off a 40ft cliff the other day! It scares me how he has no fear but at the same time I am so proud of him and think he is just the coolest guy ever! And I am pretty sure that he thinks he is the coolest guy ever too...

Extra Extra!

As always it has been awhile since I have updated...but it has been for good reason: one we have been busy and two we had the slowest oldest computer in the world that I didn't even want to bother with!! But now my I have no excuses because we got a new mac!! I love it and have been trying out all the programs already. So what have we been up to? We have been enjoying utah together, the snow and the one semi warm day we had we enjoyed a hike to the Y. We also went to Moab with Platinum, Doug's company, and went 4 wheeling. I thought I was going to die at first when we were driving on this steep narrow cliff with a drop on both sides but I warmed up to it and had a really fun time. Doug and I got sealed in the temple this past wednesday and his parents and my sister and her husband came out for it, along with our friends already in utah. It was so great to have everyone there and just an amazing experience. My adorable little nephew owen has been growing in leaps and bounds since I last saw him and have been enjoying all his pictures and thought I'd share some, I don't have a baby of my own yet so this is who I get to show off ;) Besides that we got a new computer and I have just been playing with it, hence the photobooth pictures.

YOWZA!

Hike to the Y

Christian and Stephanie came over before they left for their 6 month cruise (we miss you guys!), and I just had to do the pencil test on them...for those of you who don't know...look it up...I have friends who swear by it. Its fun it supposedly tells you how many kids you are going to have and their gender in order! Its pretty crazy...I felt like a witch doctor for the night!

P.S. they got the same response...I'm just saying its pretty cool

P.P.S. Looks like Doug is having a good time!

Not Again

Poor little Dougy just can't seem to keep himself out of trouble. I guess I spoke too soon in a previous post when I said I was relieved Doug was done with soccer because it meant no more concussions or brutal injuries....February 10th, 2009 Doug got in a snowboarding accident which ended in a broken nose and a small concussion. Thankfully it wasn't more than that because he did not have his helmet on at the time and was going off all sorts of jumps. So on nose injuries alone that adds up to 3 broken noses and if he needs surgery (which they think he will) 3 nose surgeries! Poor guy...I wonder if they make full body helmets.....

We choose you Kentucky!

As most of you know, Doug is managing an office for Security Sales and with this job we get to go to fun new places every summer...We just found out last night at the draft. Doug and his co-manager got to choose their office location and they picked Louisville/Lexington Kentucky! We couldn't be more happy or excited about it and being a scholarly lady, I decided to do some research about my new temporary summer home....Kentucky:
State Abbreviation - KY

Origin of Name - From an Iroquoian word “Ken-tah-ten” meaning “land of tomorrow”

State Capital - Frankfort

Largest City - Louisville

State Horse - Thoroughbred

State Animal - Gray Squirrel
Area - Kentucky is the 37th biggest state in the USA
Name for Residents - Kentuckians
Famous People Born Here: Abraham Lincoln,George Clooney, Johnny Depp , Jefferson Davis, Diane Sawyer, and many many more
State Nickname - Bluegrass State
State Motto - "United we stand, divided we fall "

But what am I most excited about?

The first Saturday in May...That's right the Kentucky Derby!

and tons of this...

One of my best friends from college just moved to Louisville with her husband! We can't wait to be neighbors again!

And lots and lots of laughs! Selling over the summer always sets the stage for some hilarious stories and I am looking forward to laughing at every single one of them!

Little Baby Hansens

So I saw this on my friends blog and I thought it was hilarious and just had to try it out!! After telling Madeleine about it and having some good hearty laughs, I have come to some conclusions: 1. The Boy and the Girl have the exact same face with just different color hair...Well really, what should I have expected?

2. I think it is quite fitting that the boy has a hard hat on because if our kids turn anything out like Doug, they will need it!! In fact I might as well just strap a helmet and a bubble wrap suit on them 24/7.
3. So far these computer children of mine have no casts or broken noses of any sorts so maybe they will inherit more of my "think before genes" instead of Doug's more retrospective take on life after all...
