PETA is tarded.

Have any of you seen their campaign "I'd rather go naked than wear fur?"

It's a pretty horrible idea when you think about it. "Stop eating animals or we'll keep showing you pics of hot chicks all naked like"

Brilliant plan there PETA...

I have a new equation for you.

Mandee + karaoke

+other side of the continent

+people she doesn't need to worry about facing the next day

= really great times

Every night makes me hate the day

My husband is undeniably the best husband in the worldHe puts up with my loud family when they come to visit, scratches my back until I fall asleep, tells me I'm pretty even when I'm swollen up with allergies, drives when we go anywhere so I can nap, among a thousand other things.

Josh, I don't care that you work 14 hour days or blow $40 a pop at the indian res casino. You're still my snuggle bear. Thank you for choosing me and making my life the best it could possibly ever be.

who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?

Well, Art is Art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know.

He said it first, but I loved him first

This is another of many reasons why Josh and I are made for each other: Roller coasters. He's the only person I've ever met who can match my love for these specialized railroad systems. So on our second anniversary (but this was a very special second, because he was in Afghanistan for the first) we went to Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure in Orlando and rode all day. He even paid a little bit more to get us special tickets to go to the front of each line! How lucky am I, to have a husband who will ride russian mountains with me all day and never get tired or whiny OR pukish. It was my ideal anniversary, and the most fun I have ever had in my life. It's a trivial thing, but I feel especially blessed for this reason. I have the best husband in the world and although my love for roller coasters is gigantic, I love him even more.

too bad

I never grew out of those cheeks.

Out of the nerd closet
