Shout-Outs #2

Since it has been a couple months since my last shout-outs, I have a lot to be thankful for so here goes.


My first shout out goes Avatar: The Last Airbender. Okay, now I didn't enjoy the actual movie, but the cartoon is hilarious. What other show is about the destruction of Earth and an evil empire conquering all good, and is still able to make jokes that make you laugh so hard you would think you were pregnant and sneezed. (Those of you who have been 9 months pregnant and have sneezed know what I'm talking about). Yes, I am 28 and watch animae cartoons and actually enjoy them. I'll take them over Barney or Dora any day. I'm also partial to the new Scooby-Doo. Don't worry though, I don't dress in cloaks and sword fight in the park :) yet:)


Second shout out goes to K-Mart! I have been having a really bad week and who is walking down the aisle of K-Mart? A friend I hadn't seen for probably 5 years!!! It was so nice to see her again and she told me I looked good, which was not the truth since it was Black Friday and I had been up awhile without showering, but that is what friends are for. Sometimes we just need someone to tell us we look great! K-mart also had some really good deals too:)

My third shout out goes to relief from headaches. I had a migraine for three days and it is currently gone. Thank you Excedrin Migraine.


Fourth shout out absolutely has to go to washing machines. We are so blessed with having these in our homes! Treven had a traumatic morning which involved Kimber's foot making contact with his nose. His nose was bleeding, he was crying so hard he started throwing up, then he hadn't pottied?? for awhile and let's just say all of this happened within 10 seconds! Yikes! Messy, but one small flick of the wrist and push of a button and my bathroom rug was clean!


Fifth shout out: Nail guns and a patient husband. Today we got our garage on our house and I was out "helping" Jarett. He instructed me on the use of a nail gun. I have only used a nail gun once before and that was one shot, which I did correctly, but anyway, I had to nail down this chalk line and basically did awful, plus those are heavy suckers. I did it though, and Jarett didn't even laugh, even when I had missed and had to pound the nails back out. So, thank you nail guns for making the job go faster (but only in experienced hands).


Sixth and final for the evening. All these shout outs remind of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. I don't generally watch his show, but I love his thank you notes that he writes. Funny! I always need a good laugh.
